EQUAL RIGHT TO LAND.

1t is because single-taxers believe in the
right of private property that they in
sist upon the equal right to lad Con-
sistently with the right to hold land in
private possession. there IS absolutely no
conceivable way to secure equality In the
right to acquire and enjoy private prop
erty. except by the method OF the single
tax.
e. The right of private property is inherent
in the right OF the worker to wages. III
a man has the right to receive wages he
must have the right to keep them, and
private property is simply accumulated
wages. But this does not mean that "A man
must be hired by somebody and told wlEss
to do before wages can be earned, TO
earn wages is to produce them Prof. ].
b. Clark has shown clearly that itfs|the'
product of labor, and not labor itself
that is bought and sold by the process OF
hiring Therefore, hiring men in a state
OF freedom is only one OF the varols
processes OF trading or swapping goods.
Since private property consists of ac-
cumulated- wages. and as Ia mt rs the only
source from which wages ultin ately come.
1t bccOmes manifest that equality in TN,
right to land is a.COIttiition precedent 10
the entoyme Mt Of the etIual right to acquire
and hold private property. Therefore. the
single tax movement has for its OBJ 5e;t
erty.
This it proposes to accomplish in two
ways: First, by taking the value of what
would otherwise go toindividuals by favor
OF law. and apprepriating the fund to
public use; second, by txempting llprivate
property from taxation, whereby "a on
slant source of disturbance to business by
LEGISLATION will he ebviated. - - -
This, in brief is 4 he ethics and method
of the single tax. To indee ofits practical
working we must study its economics. = "

THE TRUTH.

The celebrated Henry Labouchere.
editor of the London '"Truth" has
this to say, Nov. 10, about our Ameri-
can politics:
If Bryan had been wise, he would
have gone IN for bimetallism, II 1t
pleased him., but he could have left
the ratio indefinite. His ratio meant
the right Of alto repudiate half his
obligations, without thus lettering
anyone in the future, but the victors
will do we'll to realize that, apart from
bimetallism, fthere is a strong, grow
ing feeling in America against huge
Accommodations OF capital in the hands
of individuals, obtained by means of
trusts, which are really monopoiies
and gamblin with cogged dice in rail
roads. The greedy plutocracy. unsup-
ported by an1armed force, cannot long
hold its own against the rights and
we'll being of all. / am nowise certain
that, had I been an American, l
should not have voted the Democrat
ic ticket and had It not been that
regard all tampering with the coinage
of a country as injurious to all. and it
does not strike me that Mr.. Bryan Is
up to the presidential mark,
"America's worst product Is its dol
larcracy, whose members have literal
ly nothing to recommend them. The
| odds are that either they or their
parents acquired huge fortunes by the
most questionable means. AS a rule,
they are ignorant and vulgar, build
| ing big houses in order to dazzle by
| osten ia tious entertainments, and buy.
| ing pictures, for which they can only
care because they have been acquired
at high prices, selling their souls to
anyone who will enable them to hob
mob with royalties, and their daugh
tiers to anyone who will confer title
upon them, despising their own coun-
| try and institutions, and regarding
| themselves as in every respect su-
| perior to others, on account OF theil
| dollars.
III the United States is not to be-
come a mere plutocratic and oligarch
ic power. these worthless, who have in
creased. and are increasing, must
greatly diminish"

OUTRAGEOUS.

1t is shame to have the natural
rulers-the statesmen-of this nation,
prosecuted in the way set forth in the
following paragraph. Mr.. Mckinley
should call special session to put a
stop to such practices.
Two hundred thousand dollars liza
bilities and no assetsl Splendid! They
believed in ''sound money" too, and
they made the fellows squeal who had
it. Here is the Item

rants were issued today for the arrest
Of the two partners In the private
banking house of Miller & Vaughan,
who failed week ago with about
81 O.OOO liabilities and no assets.
Liens have been placed on the seat
in the New York Stock Exchange,
which Miller held.
The customers Of the concern, it is
said, include several prominent men,
who lost heavily. 1t is further said
that these customers will prefer Grim
inal charges. An expert is at work on
the books.
Brother farmers.-are you not right
TO take the advice of such men? They
told you finance was an occult scierce
and that no farmer could understand
it,-and you said yes.
Neither could they. There isn't a
G.. o. P. farmer in Minnesota thas has
sense enough to steal $500, 900 without
leaving an asset. He would be sure
to leave his overshoes at least.

ONE CAUSE OF DEFEAT.

When the Peoples Party National
Convention, which met at st. Louis,
in July last, left out of the platform
the bold and pointed resolutions of
the Omaha platform, they drove mill
ions Of workingfne out Of our ranks.
These are sumo Of the planks they
omitted: -.--'- -
81. We declare the union of the
labur forces of1the United States, this
day accomplished, shall be permanent
and perpetual. May it's spirit enter
into all hearts for the salvation of the
republic and the uplifting Of mankind.
20. Wealth belongs to him who Gre
ates it. Every dollar taken from in-
dustry without an" equivalent is rob-
berry. II any will not work neither
shall he eat" The interests of rural
and urban labor are the same; their
enemies are Identical" ''o''H +.
These words had soul in them.
They embraced the whole world. Com.
pared with them the free silver issue
was a temporary incident. But they
were all cut out and lot of piatitudes
inserted in their, place. - l~#

THAT PROSPERITY.

We invite the especial attention OF
our readers to the valuable facts pre-
sented in our EST. Paul Column"
showing that thousands of men and
women have been discharged in that
city and turned adrift since the cleo
tion of Mckinley. The editor of the
Column" gives the names OF the
companies, SO there can be no doubt
of the accuracy Of his figures. 1t is a
terrible CONNIE ntary on the knaveS
who told the people before election
that the election Of Mckinley meant
immediate and tremendous prosper
ity. The fools are not all dead yet;
but some Of them will stand lively
chance to die of starvation before the
next presidential election. The pity
Of it is that good many sensible men
will suffer with them.

THANKS.

We think it is only just and right
that, although defeated, we should
recognize the valuable services OF the
members OF the Peoples Party State
Central Committee, during the recent
campaign. Messrs. Gibbs, Meighen,
Lynch, Swain, etc., are entitled to
and should receive the thanks of all
oar people:-it is the only compensa-
ton they are likely to obtain. They
did an immense work. almost without
funds. a.
We also beg leave, on behalf Of the
Populists of the state, to thank that
able leader, Hon. Thomas d. O'Brien
of the Democratic National commit
tee, and l.. A: RoSfng. chairman OF
the Democratic State committee. fol
their herculean la bors. Nothing but
the vast sums, of money arrayed
against them defeated them.
We prophecy that, if we can coop
crate on an honorable basis, we will
sweep the decks two years from now
And two years will soon slip away.

"HOIST WITH THEIR OWN
PETARD."

/ We hear that the reason the Penny
Press passed into the hands of re-
ceiver, recently, was because our old
and beloved friend, Frank n. Stacy,
(the worthy and illustrious gentleman
who thought that Owen and the rest
Of them should not, at the St. Louis
convention, obey the instructions OF
those who elected and sent them
them there. to present our name for
president, or even to ask US to excuse
them for their failure so to do), Mr..
Frank n. Stacy, 1--WE say,) was corpo-
rator in the Penny Press, ind he pro-
posed that he and two or three others
should secretly turn over the paper to
the Republicans, and cut out their as
sociates, ou condition that they should
themselves get fat places in the rival
concern, and leave the poor old Penny
Press to PERISH
But it seems Senator Howard got
onto the job, and went into court,
and, on behalf of paper company in
Wisconsin, to which the Penny Press
was indebted, threw the whole bust
ness into the hands of Mr.. Howard as
receiver; and brother Stacy was sent
flying through the air, with his coat
tails at right angle to the seat OF
his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. by his
own petard."
We must have done something very
wrong, in some previous state of exist
ence, to be pes stored by such creatures
here. Did ever any poor wretch, while
working for the public good. fall in to
such a nest of snakes and polecats:
And that too while he was asking fol
nothing for himself.
They are all politically dead now,
and only wait for burial. and yet we
know that an inscrutable and adverse
fate is preparing somewhere another
such batch Of incorrigibles, to fling at
our head the next time we make a
struggle for the right.
We fear the devil is opposed to the
Peoples Party. II not why did they
fail when "a. 600 votes out of $4,000, OO(
would have given them success?
The representative. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1893-1901, 1896-11-18
THE PLOT THICKENS.

We understand that ali the consti-
tutional amendments are adopted.
This means constitutional conven-
ton at a cost of $lUO,OJO;-not de-
manded by the people, but by the
forces hostile to the people; the object
being to interpolate into the new in
strument cunningly worded provis-
ions that will reduce the power of the
people to the minimum and leave
them tied hand and foot forever.
Then there is the provision for the
taxation of railroad lands. The rail-
road companies have comparatively
little land left, and what there is can
be disposed of in five years; but the
three per cent on their gross earnings,
now amounting to nearly million
dollars is growing greater day by day,
and is a grievous burden upon them.
There can be no doubt, as we showed
before election, that to tax laEds sep
arately, in addition to the three per
cent on gross earnings, which now COW
ers the lands as we'll as everything
else, sets aside the three per cent tax,
and the Legislature, God help usD
will have to settle the future method
of taxation of the railroads.
Well, WE'LL We are not responsible.
r. We have done our best. II the coun-
try goes to the devil it is not our fault.
Why should any man wear his life out
working for a people who will not sus-
tain him at the ballot box. hnt will
vote steadily and persistently for the
plunderers?
Let the dance go on. It may be that
the people will wake up before their
rights and liberties are all gone. The
aggressiveness and impudence Of. tri-
umphant rascality may yet save the
nation. 1t was the cracking of the
slave-driver's whip that destroyed
slavery. -~--@ ~'''.--1'* - az

A WORD 10 DELINQUENTS.

We have been obliged to put the &C
counts Of our delinquent subscribers
in the hands of St. Paul collecting
agency. We hope our friends will not
take offence at this. We have either
to 90 it or to suspend publication. 1t
is not right that those who pay up
should suffer for those who do not.
We have over $1,000 due us, in small
sums, from delinquent subscribers,
and yet we are pinched to meet our
weekly expenditures. We are willing
to do our part for the cause, but 9TH
ers must do theirs. This is as much
their battle as ours. Ii they do not
think the Peoples Party needs an adj
vocate in the Northwest let them pay
up and stop the paper;-then we can
retrench our huge list to those who
are willing to pay dollar year to
help keep alive the greatest political
organization in the world.
Come, friends, you might just as
we'll be against the truth as do moth
ing to sustain it.
1t is shame. that we have to put
our accounts in the hands of collect
ing agency; butit is your fault, not
ours.

EXTENSIVE CORRUPTION.

We have just made an affldavit, as
required by law,as to the whole of our
expenditures In our canvass for seat
in the House of Representatives. 1t
amounts to the enormous sum of
1898! OF this 60 cents was for rail-
road fare St. Paul to Rich Valley, to
make an afternoon speech. Our team
drove us thence to our home at Mimi
ger. The remainder, 1888, was our
share Of the very modest assessment
of the Peoples Party's county COM
mittee for incidental expenses Of the
committee in the campaign, under
the energetic management of Mr.. w.
II. Smith. We were called away to
speak in Illinois and Kansas or our ex-
penses would have been much
greater.
The new law is good one and
should be strictly enforced. 1t will OF
course be greatly avoided but never.
theless it will be a check upon ramp
ant corruption.
