Principle Of Equal RIehts

Henry George, in his speech to the
New York Young Mems Silver CLUB,
the other day said:-
You are right in believing me to de-
sire the election of Bryan. AS to this i
have no doubt or hesitation. 1 shall vote
for him, not because he is the regular
Democratic nominee. nor because 1 hold
his views on the currency question, but
because in the choice now offered us he
clearly represents the Jeffersonian prin-
ciple-that principle of,equal rights to all
and special privileges to none, which is
to my mind the only thing worth strug-
Cling for in our politics, and the only
thing by which and through which the
American republic can be preserved IN
the dangers that now menace it-all
other conditions are small to me beside
this. And from what know and have
heard of the man, shall vote for Bryan
with greater satisfaction and firmer con-
fidence than have voted for any presi-
Dental candidate since Abraham Lin
coln."

A peasant was taking some pears
to his new seigneur, who was ex-
ceedingly ugly. AS he entered the
house he found two large apes dress
ed in uniform and with swords at
their sides. They seized his basket
and devoured, each of them, half a
dozen of the best pears. The peas
ant, who had never seen creatures
of this kind, saluted them courteous
" and allowed them to do what
they pleased. When he had made
his present, his seigneur, laughing,
asked him why he had not brought
his basket full. Because, he re-
piled, "nessieurs vos enfants as
