CHAPTER XVII.
rom Merivale to Franklin.

From Merivale to F'rankl1ns
u have just learned from Mr.
Noses Dennison that there is another
claimant to the land about which we
have been in correspondence. OF
course | expect to have all titles
thoroughly examined by my attor-
neys before l close any bargain with
you. What does Dennison meanf
What sort of interest has John I.
Wright in the land? Answer at
/ once"
To this Franklin replied:
Il cannot learn from Wright the.
grounds upon which he bases his
claim to ownership, unless there is
some flaw in the title of which he has
taken advantage; or else some mis-
carriage in the payment of taxes re-
sulting in a sale of the land, of which
know nothing. 1t is possible that
Wright may have some lien upon the
land. win investigate, and If | find
that it can be wiped out for reason
able sum of money, would you be
willing to supply the cash?"
TO this Mr.. Merivale wrote in re-
ply:
of course / would. Wipe out the
aefect at once, whatever 1t is, no
matter what it costs. am willing to
advance any sum necessary, with the
understanding that it is to be repaid
from the receipts of the mine. Write
me at your earliest convenience the
exact nature of the defects, and lei
me know the amount of money yo,
need"

THE END.
The Weiser semi-weekly signal. (Weiser, Washington Co., Idaho) 1904-1911, 1904-06-11

The trial of James Franklin took
place few weeks later and he was
found guilty of murder in the first
degree and sentenced to be hanged.
Persistent efforts were made to over
turn the judgment of the court and
the governor was appealed to, but
both the supreme court and the cher
executive declined to interfere and
Franklin expiated his crime on the
gallows.

A Few Questions For Socialists.

Karl Marx. the founder of modern
socialism, said, that there is con-
stantly growing mass Of poverty,
misery and degradation. Is it not
true that wages are twice as high now,
with all conditions correspondingly
improved as when he made that state
meut?
Is it not fact that the hours of la
Dor are 20 to 80 per cent less than
fifty or sixty years ago?
The appeal to Reason leading
socialist paper, has declared that the
workers received 62.50 per cent of what
they produced in 1860, and only Ii per
cent in 1900. Is not this statement
absolutely untrue?
How are you going to determine the
rate of wages for skilled and unskilled
labor shoemakers, seamen, laborers,
clerks, electricians, reporters, carpen-
tiers, coal miners. etc.
Will one kind of labor be more val
liable than another-and if so, then
will 1t not be confiscation of the la
Dor of the best workers?
Will man with six children receive
the same income for his days labor as
the single man?
Or will socialism confiscate a part
of the labor of the single man to sup
port the man with large family?
Please explain how you are to estab-
lish economic equality, unless the
same rate of income for all is en-
forced.
And IL the same income for all is
enforced, is not that confiscation OF
the ability of the superior men?

The wholesale price of beef reached
