FREEDOM WILL
NOT SURVIVE
Long in a Land of Aristocratic
Social Observation-Disclosures
ism Destroyer of Republics

The Labor Argus:-A recent
Eastern paper states in reply to
an inquiry that our Government
still has about 200 million IasGres
OF public lands. Most of Which is
open to homestead entry The
editor adds that much of this land
is now inaccessible and the re-
malnder of little value, being
either mountain or arid desert on
which living cannot be made.
This means that this land is at
what political economists call "the
margin of cultivation or the
poorest land upon which it is
possible to subsist.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the settlers on these lands are
certain to be miserably poor, the
lands are being steadily taken up.
This land being in the mountain
and Pacific Coast states and
Alaska, settlers must travel
thousands of miles over far better
vacant land which is owned bv
spectators in order to reach it.
This means that the margin of
cultivation in this country is
being extended to poorer land,
which in turn means that rent is
taking more and labor getting less
OF the product produced from
land. Land OF itself produces
nothing, yet its owners absorb
most of the wealth produced by
labor.
In this way we are building up
exactly the same aristocratic
system Of landlordism and rack
rented tenantry that DESTROYED the
ancient republics.
Freedom cannot long survive in
a land of aristocratic social adjust.
