half or cash rent equal to much more.
In cities it is still higher. All this cuts
wages down. Anywhere we must have
land, and if none is free we are forced
to bid against each other until, no mat
ter what is paid to us, we retain moth
ing but mere living Everywhere the
laborer makes a mere living. Every.
where rent adjusts itself SO as to swal-
low everything else. Out in the arid
regions Of the west, where the parched
soil yields but stingy returns, the land
lord gets one-sixth or one-fourth; q little
farther east he gets one-third to one
half; then begin the more populous re-
gions. where cash rent takes still more,
while in New York and Chicago, where
thousands of people live and work in
every block, what they produce above q
mere living yields the owners of the
land in some places 81, 900. 900 per acre
per year. Everywhere the laborer gets
q mere living
Increased productiveness of labor
makes no difference with wages We
have steam and electricity and self
binders and all sorts of improved ma
chinery, but we receive only q living
wage. But the prico Of land-rent-is
higher. Interest is no higher-true in
terest, mean, derived from absolutely
safe loans. 1t is now only from 21a per
cent to per cent per annum, and if the
two funds, wages and interest, do not
increase, there is no place to look for
the increased product but in the price
Of land, which is rent, the third fund.
1t has been discovered by Adam
Smith, Mill, Ricardo and others that
wages seem naturally to tend to min
imum which will just permit laborers
to live. In other words, wages are fixed
by the standard Of living.
A great many economists have urged
that this is because the earth is not
yielding enough to meet the wants of
an increasing population. But we know
better than this. Every pair of hands
has now the power of producing vastly
more than 100 years ago. But whatever
the increase it does not go to capitalist
or laborer, but to the landowner.
Natural wages are measured by what
is left to the laborer after he has paid
interest, taxes and rent, and whatever
interest and taxes may leave, rent con-
sumes the balance.
Does this mean that wages must al
ways rest at the mere living point? No.
With the remedy this article has moth
ing to do. But any one can SEQ that if
what l have said is true the remedy Is
not to be found in increased production,
or greater frugality and thrift, or regu-
lations of interest rate, but in some
change in our land system.

LIVE QUESTIONS.
A Series Of Articles Contributed by
Advanced Thinkers.
NATURAL WAGES.

The question of wages concerns you
personally, for every man who works
for another is o worker for wages.
Wages are the laborer' $ return for labor.
What are natural wages2 There is a law
which governs the wages, but it is not
statute. Regulating wages by statute
fails. Those statutes were not vital laws !;
they violated nature and were evil in
their influence. The natural law Of
wages is at work all the time, every
where, regardless of statutes. A farmer
who finds that lie makes a bare living
should know that he is obeying the law
Of wages, and If his condition is to be
bettered, it must be by improving this
law.
Wages are fixed by the relations Of
man to man. In trying to understand
the problem we must study society and
the individual. What is the nature Of
society? 1t Is q growing organism gov
erned by natural laws. A man is liv-
ing being, but society is living being,
too, Of which we are tho cells. 1t has
natural laws to govern it. When these
laws are discovered and obeyed, society
Is healthy; IL they are disobeyed. it suf-
fers and degenerates. Many economists
seem to think that society is compli-
Gated machine through which we must,
with much thought. build up and keep
1t In motion. No idea could be cruder.
Put new Adam and Eve in a new
Eden; q society will grow up. governed

has developed and given him q knowl-

WHAT is MIND?

M. Ribot, who has done so much ex-
cellent work in neurology and psychol-
ogy, has shown recently that the human
mind is capable Of greater things than
1t has yet accomplished. He announces
that the brain does for the mind what
the heart does for the blood. The brain,
In other words, is tho mind organ. But
he further claims that the mind is ma
terial. This Is quito startling state
ment and will not be believed by many
His method of reaching these conclu-
sions is unique. One day hospital pa
tient was relating to one of his assistants
that when in a trance she saw a thin
gray mist circulating around the brain.
This hint set the scientist to work. He
utilized large number Of subjects, and
all Of them gave uniform testimony to
the fact that In seeing the brain in trance
they saw Its movements and that these
were surrounded by gray mist. This
arose and spread over the surface of the
brain and then throughout the nervous
| system. The idea thus circulates or goes
in wave movement from the originating
| center to all parts Of the nervous system
and then returns again to the brain.
The hypnotic subjects are called "hu-
man microscopes, as it is with their
souls that M. Ribot sees these marvellous
movements. Before rejecting wholly
this hypothesis we would do well to
weigh the evidence and investigate the
subject as far as possible. If these hyp-
motto people see correctly and there is
"a thin gray mist" accompanying
thought in the brain, it does not necos-
sarily follow that the mist is the mind,
no more than it follows that smoke is
fire just because the one always arises
from the other. We arc doubtless verg-
Ing close on to some great discoveries
and may be able yet to know mind in
Its very last analysis, but until we have
something more definite we should be
slow to affirm that mind is material.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1896-07-16

Readers OF metropolitan gold papers
will notice how bare their columns are
Of arguments. Their stock in trade
consists of passionate TRADES against all
who differ in opinion with thom. Our
editorial friends in the city sanctums
should not assume that the voters of the
present age are SO ignorant as to be led
away by the Billingsgate they publish
daily. If the country is to be convinced
that gold alone should be supreme, why
not do the friends of gold produce their
proofs? So far nothing has been heard
against silver except that the men who
advocate it are anarchists" "fan-
atics," ''destroyers of the nations
credit" otc. These terms do not
constitute arguments, and the more
they are indulged in the brighter be-
comes Bryan's chances of election.

POLITICAL PlCkUPS.

The richest now thing in politics is
the command of that presumptious die
tator, the Philadelphia Times, that the
boiling Democrats nominate David B.
Hill for president. Hill on a gold plat
form would be the very height of ridicu
lousness. man who few years ago was
considered the destined leader of the
silver forces for president in 1896, who
by his actions aided the movement pub
licly and privately, who made speeches
and voted for silver in congress, who
was beaten for governor of Now York by
the gold men OF his party because he
favored free silver, and who, until he
bent under the pressure OF the bankers
of Wall street very few months ago,
lowered above all the silver advocates
in the party-a pretty candidate he
would be to oppose Democrat because
that Democrat is friend of silver
Hill's vacillating course, not on silver
alone but on every issue that has come
before Democracy in recent years, has
left him where he is today. He long ago

HOW WE ARE REPRESENTED.

The man with calloused hands and
dust begrimed face and the man with
one gallus and sore heel, though con-
stituting by far the largest portion of
our population, have but very little rec
ognition in our national legislature
Here are some statistics which we take
from the plutocratic press and which, of
course, give the producers as good o
showing as possible, crediting several
men to occupations which arc theirs by
proxy only, notably the farmers in the
lower house, 1t Is as follows:
House Of epresentatives-223 law
yers (66 per cent?, "a farmers, 19 news
paper men, 16 merchants, 10 manufac-
turers, 8 physicians, 6 bankers, 8 lum-
bermen, 4 railroad men, 3 brokers, 8
college professors, ? clergymen, ship
owners, miner, builders, / architect,
l printer, l druggist, theatrical man.
ager, l schoolteacher, music teacher,
16 professional politicians. Total, 356.
Senate (the millionaires' club)-60

newspaper men, manufacturer, 6 mer-
chants, 1 physician, 1 banker, rail
road men, clergymen,. 1 shipowner, 2
miners, professional politicians. To-
tai, 88.
You will cease to wonder when you
view these figures that the producers
interests have suffered at the hands Of
national Legislators while the monopo-
lists have been unduly augmented. -

More than year ago the TRIBUNE re-
marked that the free silver sentiment
had a stronger hold In Luzerne county
than some people imagined. Present
events 20 to show that wo were right.
In the list of Democrats and Democratic
newspapers who bolted the platform
Luzerne is conspicuously absent. This
Gratis who would jump the traces If the
nominees did not suit them, and their
action in upholding the Chicago conven-
tion proves that they were prepared to
accept the most radical silver plank that
could be inserted in the platform.
Freeland's famous Republican, Joe
Neuburger, has decided leaning to-
wards Bryan. Mr. N. receivd his nat
uralizaton papers from the father OF
the next president, who was at that
time Judge of the circuit court OF Illinois.
Joe has prospered since Judge Bryan con-
ferred upon him the rights and privileges
of American citizenship, and he natur-
ally has kindly feeling for the son OF
his bcnefactor.
Abe Stroh, one OF tho best known men
in this part of the state, who hereto
fore was an unflinching Republican on
national questions, has pronounced for
Bryan and silver. Abe has studied the
issue thoroughly and he has not yet met
gold man who can puzzle him on the
financial question.
The Democratic delegate elections on
Saturday evening promise to be very
tame. The withdrawal OF DIR. Rutter
from the race leaves Matt Long the only
aspirant for legislative honors in Mon

The man who sincerely believes that he
cannot consistently support candidates
who declare for the adjustment of
gold as tho standard of value has a per-
feet right to leave the Democratic party,
and he should be respected for his devo-
tion to his convictions. 1t is question,
however, il all OF those who have been
reported as having left the party did so
upon the grounds OF principle. The
chance to obtain little notorety and
free advertising is a big nduccment to
many people to change their politics, and
it is noticeable that this opportunity was
not missed by some who were hitherto
classed as dyed-in-the-Wool Democrats.
Devotion to principle is an admirable
trait, devotion to self-interest is con-
temptible.
