S 1.00 A YEAR. IN ADVANCE.

Letters from Catonsville and
Colora received too late for this
week’s issue.
The Duffer of Old Theories.
The worst self deceived man is the man
who attempts to demonstrate his problems
in political economy by referring back
40, 50 or 60 years and comparing wages
and prices with prices under conditions
which prevail today. He will hold forth
in apparent good faith that in these old
days the general prosperity, especially
among farmers, was the result of a rigid
economy not now practiced, and all that
is necessary to compel a return of these
halcyon conditions is a severe practice of
‘ 1 economy. ’ ’ Greater changes have taken
place in that short period —short when
measured by years—than in five hundred
years previous. This is a startling an
nouncement, but the facts of history con
firm it. That great change has been
wrought by the application of science to
the arts. The labor-saving, or more prop
perly speaking, the wealth multiplying
machinery which has come into existence
within the last half century or sixty
years has nothing to compare with it in
the previous five centuries. In fire arms,
from the hour of their birth to fifty years
ago, for common, small arms the old
flint lock had not been abandoned and
the old smooth-bore cannon was hardly
an improvement on the cannon of cen
turies previous. A glace at the scientific
firearms, great and small, of today is
almost startling. Take the whole cata
logue of mechanical appliances and the
change has been almost as great in every
branch.
But these old duffers of stale notions
are happy in their oblivion of all these
changes, which have reconstructed society
from top to bottom. These philosophers
who keep their backs to the present and
future, and faces to the rear, looking
always behind them and never in front,
if they belong to the farmer class, will
say ‘ ‘look how much you can buy for a
dollar now, more than you used to buy,
and now wages of mechanics are two to
three dollars a day, farm-hand’s wages
are a dollar to a dollar and a half. Fifty
years ago, the wages paid a man a da}’
for mowing was only 75 cents, working in
the wheat field a dollar. Now their wages
are double. In this vein they will talk by
the hour, ignoring all facts which refute
their arguments. Fifty or sixty years
ago, a man could not earn more than 75
cents with a scythe in the hay field. No
farmer would now pay a man 25 cents a
day to cut his grass or grain with a hand
scythe or cradle. One man now with a
pair of good horses and a machine will
cut as much heavy grass in an afternoon
as six good mowers would cut all day,
and will cut and bind as much wheat in a
day as ten men with cradles and hand
rakes. In the harvest field we find one
man now doing as much work as eight or
ten in those “good old days of prosperity”
and “economy.”
Grant it that the one man with mower,
tedder, spring-tooth rake, binder, etc.,
receives double the wages that his grand
father got, who gets the wages that were
paid to the eight or nine old time har
vesters ? Does the farmer get it ? He
certainly does not. He prodnees double
the wealth measured by its intrinsic value
and on moss-back’s theory should double
his cash in hand at the end of the year.
Let the farmer practice the most rigid
economy and he considers himself fortu
nate if he makes both ends meet. Civ
ilization has placed him on a higher
plane, where his expenses have increased
far above of his grandfather’s were.
Ilis time and labor produce vastly more
of wealth ‘but that wealth sells for not
more than the same amount of labor and
time did in his grandfather’s day. The
money he is compelled to use costs him
double as much for he cannot escape using
double as much as was necessary in the
old days, and every dollar of it is taxed.
We had the curiosity to make a cal
culation recently of the amount of interest
the business of this country cost to carry
it 011, and found that every dollar in active
circulation cost the people not less than
two dollar’s interest a year. This drain
of interest eats up their substance like a
canker. Every laboring man, farmer,
merchant and mechanic has to pay his
quota of that interest. The men who arc
compelled to borrow do not pay any more
than their quota, the expense spreads
among the entire community.
Take every line of business, examine
the conditions which environ it and the
same law controls all. The great cor
porations cut the wages of their thousands
of employes, to save themselves from the
capitalist whose money they are forced to
use, and pay more for than the profits of
their business will return. While the
labor saving machine has increased pro
duction ten fold, the producers are stead
ily 'growing poorer, and this surplus
wealth is flowing in a steady stream into
the pockets of a monopolistic rich class.
The city gamblers sell millions and mil
lions of bushels of wheat that never were
raised, and grow rich at this business.
This wealth all comes out of the pockets
of the farmer and consumer. There is
nowhere else for it to come from. The
Boards of Trade gamblers do not add one
cent to the wealth of the country.
And these old moss-back economists,
when driven to a corner by the bankrupt
cies that are taking place daily, w ill cry
out: “People must economize like they
used to.” Take a farmer for instance
and set him to work with the old tools lie
used to handle. Let him depend upon
the scanty supply of manure from the
barn yard, and his ten bushels of wheat,
twenty-five to thirty of corn, three-quar
ters of a ton of hay to the acre, and follow
along in that line. Where would he land?
There was in those old days an even
distribution of wealth then, and
people lived on a lower plane of civ
ilization. And they were controlled by
the economic conditions of that day.
The advance of the age has lifted them to
another and what should be a higher
civilization, and it would be if the accom
panying conditions did not take from him
, that hath not and give to him that hath,
until he hath an over-abundance. Saving
and economizing and living a parsimon
-1 ious life which presses him down till he
is but little above the beasts, will not cure
the evil, and moss back’s theory carried
to its legitimate results, ends in wage
slavery, which will in time reach the con
dition of the fellahs of Egypt, the serfs of
Russia and the ryots of India.
These men who live by toil and belong
to the working class and are enlisted on
the plutocratic side in apologising for and
1 endeavoring to justify present economic
1 outrages, will be cursed in their graves by
their children, and they will deserve to
be cursed for assisting to doom posterity
' to a life of wage slavery. These old
duffers should read Dogs and Fleas.
1 The book would help their sluggish intel
-1 lects amazingly.

Rent of Land and Rent of Money.
The single tax disciples claim that all
, men (and women too) have an “equal”
, right to the use of the land. But to enable
any one to enjoy that “equal” right he
. must be in a condition to enjoy or exer
. cise it. It w’ill readily occur on a
. moment’s reflection that vast multitudes
, are not in that condition and never can
be. This host must seek employment
. from others who possess organizing abil
[ ity. In order that these organizers may
[ have the power to expand the field of, or
. for labor to its greatest extent, they must
be supplied, or afforded the means of
. supplying themselves, with the indispen
. sable tool of labor and the medium which
enables all business to be transacted,
, which is money.
Freeing the land from the grasp of
monopoly and allowing this indispensable
. medium to remain in the control of tno
, nopoly as at present, will not result in the
. dream of the single tax being realized.
. The man or money monopolist who can
[ exact interest, all that the business will
bear, will take all that the single tax sets
free. The single taxer says the State is
I entitled to and should take all the rent
t for public use that society creates or is
the source of. Very well. Without the
, use of money society would be powerless
. to create rent. Money is indispensable to
, society. It cannot organize an advance
. without it. As surely as the land is the
, gift of the Creator for the use of man, so
. surely is money the creation of society for
, the benefit and use of society. In the
; sense society is used in discussing this
. question implies government. If govern
. meat, responding to the demands of the
, people created money for their use as
( effect follows cause, it is the duty of gov-
I eminent to prevent the monopoly of
( money and supply the people with it at
I cost. They are now supplied through
! banks and individuals who monopolize it,
hold it out of use and charge a high rent
( for the privilege of using money in the
I production of wealth.
The usurers who monopolize money
. own it in the sense that the landlord owns
, land. The latter has gathered together
money which he has exchanged for land
that he foresees will be demanded by
society in the near future for use. De
mand creates price or rent always
The individual money loaner has ex
changed property for as much money as
his ability can control, and assists to the
, extent of his ability to hold it out of use
, and create the greater demand for money
, by making it artificially scarce, the same
as the landlord creates an artificial scar
i city of land where the demand is greatest
for its use.
The bankers are granted corporate
. privileges to still further control the
1 money bv gathering it into their custody
and loaning that which is deposited with
, them at a rate of interest which the most
needy will pay. This compels all who
1 use money in the industrial pursuits to
pay the utmost farthing in the shape of
( rent or interest for its use.
This is fully as great an extortion and
| imposition on the indusirial classes as the
monopoly of land and should be pre
vented, not by demanding this money
, rent or interest from the usurers, who
bear the same relation to money that the
, land lord or land monopolist bears to
| land, but by establishing government
| depositories or banks for the safe keeping
and distribution among the people at a
rate of interest which would barely cover
the cost of the work. This would set
, money free to all users of money, who
. gave the necessary security for the return
of the loan at its maturity, the same as
the distribution of money is now effected
„ minus the drain of interest which goes
into the pockets of the money cornerers,
which interest would remain in pos
session of the laborer who now must part
, with a large portion of the wealth he
creates to pay the idle money monopolist,
j- Free money and fee land must go hand in
hand—free in the sense that government
shall protect the users of both from the
non-producing monopolist of both.

The Single-Tax Courier.
The national single tax paper
published at St. Louis, 510. has
lately been much improved. The
Courier is now printed in Hi page
form on fine white paper cut and
pasted and is one of the very neat
est of our exchanges. The paper
is gradually broadening in its views,
as every reform paper must. It is
1 not any one reform, or branch of
* reform that can free the people
from the incubus of monopoly, but
’ several of these hoary monsters
which eat the bread of idleness and
suck the blood of labor must be
1 destroyed. Two of the strong holds
of these vampires is the rent of
1 land and the rent of money. These
1 two unearned increments should go
into the public-treasury and through
that avenue find their way into the
pockets of the whole people in
place as now into the pockets of a
1 favored class—a comparatively
- small class.
The reform elements are steadily
- drawing towards each other and ail
- must finally meet at one spot, the
' | ballot box, where they will strike
-j hands. They cannot avoid this
'j meeting and union if they would
| and should not if they could,
j Government control of every natural
monopoly or corporation, is in one
; form or other the aim of all.
r When the state creates an artificial
1 person it must hold rigid supervi
’ sion over that dangerous encroach
er on the rights of the citizen.
The Defective Plates.
Lieutenant Ackerman presented a state
ment which was regarded bv the com
mittee as very important, as it gave the
various ships of the navy on which the
l defective armor plates are located, with
• the exact location of each plate. These
plates as originally numbered and lettered
are : 468, now inside armor of Monad
■ nock ; A9B, in conning tower of Min
, neapolis; A333, Massachusets’ 4-inch
casement; X37C, starboard sponson of
| New York ; 3334, also in starboard spon
son of New York ; A327, Monterey’s for
ward turret; A386, Minneapolis' conning
• tower; 2659, port sponson of gunboat
> Castine; A371, Amphitrite’s belt plate ;
, A4lO, Amphitrite’s belt plate ; A4, Monad
nock’s side armor; A619, Oregon’s bar
bette, A531, Terror's belt armor ; X3SA,
! New York’s conning tower shield ; 677
and 703, Mouadnock’s barbette;
, A490, New York's 10-incli barbette ; A4SI,
Terror’s 7-incli side armor ; 871, Massa
■ chusetts’ 6-inch barbette; 702 and 905,
. Monadnock’s barbette ; 924, Oregon’s tur
. ret; X 9, Monterey's side armor ; X 8 and
three other specified plates in Monterey’s
side armor.
• Of the foregoing plates the defects are
l of various kinds and degrees of serious-
I ness. X9is a plugged plate containing
forty blow-holes and a plugged hole made
by a cog-wheel which was pressed into
the plate by mistake. X 8 is said to con
, tain a blow-liole into which a wire was
inserted to a depth of four feet. The
' defects of other plates consist of irregular
’ treatment in process of manufacture.
When Napoleon ill went to war with
Germany many of the shells of the
French army were found to be filled with
' sand in place of powder. It would seem
1 that we have in the United States a lot of
the same class of rogues, and the great
' Carnagie Company of Homestead noto
riety appears to stand at the head.
