3 UNCLE TOMS LETTER.

am not what some folks ~e-id call
Socialist am no government own
ersbip disciple-in fact, gentlemen, l
want the human family liberated from
slavery, and government ownership
wouldn't do it. l don't favor any
government slavery at all. What
man makes, creates and produces
should and ought to be his, for ne
made it. don't favor any divide up J
with the government or anybody else
all I want is for every man to have
enough land allotted him to make /
decent living on and no more. and
object to the government even own
ing the land for she has no moral right
to own it whatever. The government
didn't make or create foot of 1t, and
neither did any man, therefore she mas
no moral right to own the land. All l
ask or advocate is that the government
act as guardian or trustee for the hu-
man family so that each human being
may have their share in what God,
not man, has created and provided for
them.
can't believe God created any hu-
man being and made him an heir with
His own Son for men to disinherit by
any system, yet it is done in the face
of the divine teaching of God and His
Son. I am not opposed to men put
ting their money together and erecting
manufacturing concerns. l think 1t is
their right and their privilege and,
from observation. these companies and
corporations treat the poor wagework-
er with more humanity than landlord
ism does. Of course, there are con-
Germs here and there that do not rec
ognize the freedom and liberty OF their
employees, and don't care to have
them to tell the truth, if they can pre-
yentit, especially in the newspapers,
when they do that discharge is forth
coming. Such company ought to De
forced to close until it learns to re-
spect the liberty and freedom OF Its
employees. I know of no method, sys-
tenn or plan to liberate men from the
cruel hand of greed except the land
system. l believe the deprivation OF
men in this one thing has brought to
the human family more misery than
any other one thing believe, as the
population increases it is going to be-
come an absolute necessity that re-
division takes place. Freedom and lib
erty is at state, and don't see how
we are to maintain universal free
dom in our nation and among our own
: people without a change in our land
nolicy. Men realize and feel they are
= entitled to enough to live on. They
recognize from the soil they must get
: the necessares of life. and as the pop
ulation increases they will claim their
: rights in spite of what their disposses-
sors may say or do. Now, I'll say this
to all workingmen and to the poor
generally: You neel not expect any
= thing from the Republican Party only
inst what you have been getting. II
q will tax all you eat and wear for the
benefit of your employers and it will
u never tighten its hand so far as you
are concerned. It belongs to the 9th
70 er click and will obey them and not
YOU. The Republican party has made
u the rich richer and the poor poorer anc
enabled them to walk over your free
!" dom and liberty with impunity, and i
YOU dare protest they'll discharge you
Republicanism is as false to the poo
as Judas Iscariot was to the Saviour
N Thousands of you have put your trus
in the Republican party and you "
done so SO often and so long that yo'
amt able now to pay the price aske'
for the food you would like to eat, ant
10 hundreds of you are duped and mad
20 20 believe a boycott will lower the price
10 Strikes and bocotts won't give perma
re nent relief, but I'll tell you wha
S, will You change and go to votin
ID for men and measures that will re
o. o. store unto you your Inheritance an
o keen it up, and let us have real
genuine democratic government ths
: recognizes the brotherhood of man.
y Well, / guess I'd better stop befor
: the Republicans take buck ague, ft
! they, like others, finch at the trut
. and might want to discharge the ol
: fellow.
UNCLE TOM.
