EX-COngressman Simpson on New Pc,
litical IDEAS.


Jerry Simpson, ex-Representative tc
Congress, of Kansas. made an address
OF an hour and ahalf at the Opera
House, on Friday evening. He was
doubtless surprised, as were the others.
that a man so well-advertised and no.
torlous withal, should have so small an
audience. After waiting for half
hour, there were a hundred persons
probably assembled at the Opera
House. to whom he proceeded to adj
dresS himself after an Introduction bv
Mr. Iuttle, in the breezy manner
peculiar to men from the pararies.
Mr.. Simpson is probably fair sneci-
men OF the Western stump-speaker-
ready flow of language, sufficient rest
'ure when necessary to enfore his IDEAS
and an occasional thrust of bu,,o,.
when needed to arouse the attan+io,, e
his hearers. He was, take him all in
all, the best speaker who has vet stood
before our people in the interest of
Single Tax, and had nothing IN word
or manner offensive.
He opened by referring to the nrea+
notoriety the papers had given him
about being sockless, but he wanted TO
say he was now wearing socks He
described in a generally, calamitous
way, how the system on which our
Government was run made millionaires
by fostering the privilege class on the
one hand and brought thousands down
to poverty on the other, that the latter
were reduced to an economy in living
comparable to % ounces of rice sea
soned with a rat tail and eaten with
chop sticks.
In speaking of the political parties.
he said the Prohibitionists say stop-
ping the saloons would make times
better, but it had not worked out so in
the Republicans looked to
but the Mckinley bill had
not brought the desired improvement;
-he Democrats proclaimed Free Trade
would help the poor man, but he would I
lot carry out the simile his mother
lad always said tn him, Jerry, thee
must not say anything disrespectful Of
he dead or the dying"
The speaker said that 5000, 600. 900 is
'ald annually to foreign landlords.
This was danger sign. Thirty-seven
'er cent of the farmers live on rented
ands. The system is worse than that
II vogue in Ireland. He then spent
ONE time in condemning protection.
Everything comes from the land and
IS as necessary as air. As the people
Increase few get control of land and {
old it to sell when it becomes valu-
lie. One-third Of all the workers gets
5 paid as a tribute to the land owner
Jingle tax would not tax anything
lade by man. There would be tax
My on land. Wages would be higher /
axes less, the people would have more q
honey and be happier. {
