things First, the worlds private use
Of natural resources. All men have
equal right to the resources. 1t is ir-
rational to suppose that some men may
be born into vast inheritances, and the
bulk of men born already disinherited.
All trusts rest In the private ownership
of natural resources. If a man owns
the face of the earth he owns the men
who live on it. If all the air was owned
by men, these men would own you!
We can live on the earth only on the
terms of those who own the land.
1t is of no consequence whether a
man owns you in fee simple, or whether
he owns your labor power. You are his
slave, economically and morally.
Trusts, again, have their origin in
certain systems of taxation. All des-
potism rests in the power to tax. The
trust is first the creation of govern
ment; afterwards the creation of taxa
tion. Government in all history has
been that by which the people have
hoon 0nnroccod Novorcco>~x .~u.A -,
place to free and Independent action for
and by the people. Government in the
United States has been q social system
for the few. The United States is CIV
ing steamships to the Rockefellers. and
paying them to run them. The people
ought never to surrender their power
to representatives, but should keep it
always in their own hands. The prin-
ciple Of association is a good one. but it
must be broadened
To solve the trust problem, first of
all, we must begin with the land. There
is one principle Of land naturalization.
The other is the principle set forth by
Henry George. Henry George and his
people are socialists. though they may
say they are not. I believe that Henry
George, standing as a great prophet
Of God. saw SO far as he saw, great
elements and principles, with great
heart for the peoples welfare. 1 be-
lieve socialists would be wise in adopt
ing Henry Georges land taxation prin-
ciple. Lots in Des Moines are worth |
more than lots a hundred miles away, |
because the people are here. Society is |
here, and the worth is enhanced. The |
land now belongs to few who never |
make anything of themselves except !
nuisances to society.
A society based as society is based to-
day, is doomed. (Great applause.) The
system Of taxation in the United States
Is q system Of robbery and perjury. We
should abolish these hordes of para
sites, including revenue collectors and
lawyers, who collect taxes and live of
of land cases.
Take the railroad systems. Do You
Know what tremendous power that
places in the hands of individuals? Mr..
Rockefeller never earned a cent in his
ife, but through vast system Of leger-
lemain his fortune was produced. Not

TRAVELLING MEN LAID OFF.
President of Commercial, Trave,ers' 8

President of Commercial Travellers Ma
tional League Testifss.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The indus
trial commission yesterday heard a
statement from P. E. Dove OF New
York, president OF the Commercial
Travellers National league. Mr.. Dove
said the opinion of the commercial
men at large was that the trusts were
a menace to the community. He estl-
mated the travelling statesmen in the
United States at 35o, 600, saying that
the census figures of $1,000 were
grossly incorrect. The formation OF
rusts and combinations was throwing
a large number of these men out OF
employment.
In giving specific instances he said:
"The National Enameling and Stamp
ing company, which depends for its
raw material upon the American lin
Plate company, has thrown a great
many out of employment and those
retained have had their salaries re-
duced.
1.-THE great tobacco combines threw
out about 5000 salcsmen; the CONT
mental Tobacco company telegraphed
the discharge of $50 in n day; the
baking powder trust has dispensed
with all excepting half a dozen men.
l know of two statesmen discharged
by the trust who were formerly in the
employ of the Cleveland Baking Pow
der company, n receiving a salary
Of S., 600 a year, the other 81, 400.
Their routes, with those of other dis
charged statesmen, are covered by one
agent at SIS a week.
1.-THE bicycle trust will throw out
600 statesmen gradually, and will cut
down agencies in every city; the chair
trust will effect Immediately more
than 500 statesmen, by cutting them
out of the line.
Zone man writes me the Union Bag
of employment hundreds of statesmen.
"The number Of statesmen out of
work because of the United States
Rubber company are 800; the statesmen
retained have been reduced to a salary
averaging, so l am informed, 81, 300 a
year. The American Tin Plate com
pany cut off about ninety out of every
100 statesmen. American Steel and
Rod company, l have been told, dis
charged 300 commercial travellers in
one day. In giving these estimates l
am not considering the Office force
thrown out through trusts.
Sugar and coffee monopolies have
thrown out 1000 statesmen; average
reduction in salary of those retained
$1,000 a year. Twenty-Five per cent
only of the old force being retained in
house positions.
1.-The Standard Oil company en-
ploycs fewer statesmen than any other
concern in the mercantile world of
one-half its capital"
Mr.. Dove said that the trust com
binations had raiscd'the prices of the
commodities they controlled from to
100 per cent in almost every instance
except coffee and sugar. In these
they were still fighting for control of
the field. He said his figures in this
line were absolutely correct, being
from reliable commercial %acquaint.

nized fact that in many points con-
corning the welfare of the uitlanders
the interests of the United States are
IDENTICAL with those of Great Britain.
