Ed. RRPuBLrcAS:--I wrote you once
telling how Joshua stopped The sun. Let
me tell you now how Sampson lifted the
temple, and killed five thousand OF his
enemies; this my grandfather saw, and
you may put it down as a true story.
A long time ago France was called
Gsul, and was inhabited by a wild, war.
like and inpuls,ve people, who were
pngans, and whose head and Drawn was
named populus. There came one day in
to the camp a very beautiful woman
named Cliristofera. She preached the
christian religion, and converted the
whole nation, becoming the wife of Pop
illus, who loved her with all his heart,
and listened always to her christian
teaching. The mother of C~hrisiofcra
lived in Rome. and sent advice frequent.
y to her daughter, and FOR while all
went well. A MahohietaD si,lied to
take Cbristosera from Popu!us, and
crossed the western frontier of France
with a large army, bat Populus, with an
oaken hammer slew forty thousand of
them in one day, ard never again was
the att .inpt renewed IN that way.
1t happened, however, that the wife
received many presents, especially Of
iandi and when my grandfather saw
Sampson raise the temple she owned the
third Of France The king anl the
mobiles owned a third; while Populus,
who did all the work and gave all the
protection, owned the other third; out Of
which had to come al the tnxes, an.
these were so heavy that populus coull
hardly live ;out of everything he produced
lie had to give a share, and this silare in
creased with every lahor-saving machine
that increased the efficiency Of his labor
Il VAS in vain he demonstrated HIS
wife betrayed him, thinking, perhaps, il
was best for him; his enemies put out his
eyes, and confined to a dungeon he had
no sympathy, and finally los! ali the i'm
incnse love lie had felt for lis wife, wllv
now tod him to suffer will, ptiiencc and
he would be rewarded a huldrcdtoid in
the next world
So one day there was q great festival.
and l'opulus WAS brought ott to give ex
liibition Of his strength, and on his knee
he prayed, and then taking hold OF the
column of the temple ii his arms, he
raised 1t and killed he thousand .! his
enemies.
But he did o die, his powerful voice
called his children to hi, side, wlucl,
from the four Corners of Europe aruiir,
marched upon France to restore the old
order of Privilege, lie gave them nil a
noble fight but Wac finally crushed. and
owis again in America, as in Europe,
the third Estate, and Privilege holds the
rest. But there is o a difference, ant
this it is, that populus now knows the
reason OF his defeat; his son, lIenry
George, has opened his eyes. The moth.
er OF his wife has instructed his would Nc
again wife that property in Land is a
moral sinf, ard every day Populus is
being feared more and more by liivilcge.
N~ORKISGNAE.
l.. s. 'Battle OF Tours.
The gnillotinc cut off 5000 heads.
tliie Catholic church do not teach
,ha, private property IN land is a moral
sin, but she condemned Bishop Corrlgan,
of New York, tor accommodating
Father MoGlynn for saying that a Single
Tax for revenue on land values would
abolish private property in land. THE
Profit Of the Earth is foi all" VIA, is
the profit, il not economic rent! and what
is economic rent, if not the interest on
the value of lapd without iinpro, ernents?
Free the farmer, he has the most need,
AMI don't raise the temple on him; just
tell him the Truth. w.
