1HE LIMITATION OF WEALTH
We publish in this issue tin article
, i i . . ii , i
on the BUDject, "onouia tr eouu
Have a Limitation?" The trend
of the article inclines lo the affirma
tive side ol the question. The article
has In-en refused publication by a
publisher, because the sentiments did
not concur with the nolicy of that
paper. The PogT believes there are
many truths expressed in the article,
but the nolicy advocated is not in
harmony with the viewH held by the
I'twT. We are always glad to wel
come a freed1 cussionin the columns
ot the Pdffr, all questions affecting
the public good. We hold that we
have a right to our opinion and we
would be narrow-minded if we did
not accord to others what we our
selves most heartily wish to enjoy.
The advance of journalism calls for
a free discussion tit all public tpics
tionsand it would he better for all
concerned it the common people take
more of an a.-tivc part in such dis
cussions. The Post will publish
all meritorious articles whether they
agree with its own policy i' not,
but in either case this publication j
.i i . i:- I
reserves me ngiii tuognxvi meaicc
with opinions expressed.
Now for the article itself, "Should
Wealth '.lave a Limitation?" n
answer to this question and to the
general discussion advanced by the
esteemed correspondent of the Post,
we would say that it is far easier to
tear down than to build up; it is
easier to enumerate the faults and
weakness of our present economical
system than it is to propose a butter
one. It is easier to point out the
results ot the conflict between labor
and capital than it is to outline a
policy thai is better. The present
conditions ol our social system arei
not ideal. If they were our
correspondent could not refer to the
strikes, the constant accumulation of
wealth and the differences that arise
from the relation ot capital and lalxir.
We believe that an ideal system is
an impossibility, but we believe
that the present social and political
statu.- can be improved. But like
our correspondent, we have a broad
er field to find fault than we have
plans to improve the conditions of
the laboring class.
What would the Limitation of
Wealth mean? The foundation of
our government is resting upon the
Declaration of American Independ
ence which assures to all men free
dom and liberty. Do w propose
to knock out the rock iiKn which
this government rets ? If you do,
MM may expect it to crumble like
the old Boman Empire did. Bat
bated OpoU its present, fundamental
law, it cannot fail. If the rights of
the people are usurped, there is an
Opportunity 10 overthrow political
leaders ami establish others in office
who will execute new principles. It
will lie a revolution by changing
tin- jxiwer from one hi another jioli
tiial party. History tells us that
these revolutions in the United States
have been jieaceful revolutions and
in no wise have they ever effected
, a view i
1 whijh the merchantable timber can
1 be cut and the forest still be preserv
i ed in good condition.

Saturday the Republican Stand
ing Committee met at the court
house in this place to effect a per
manent organization. The prize
was the position of county chair
man. Editor Lumbard announced
himself as a candidate some weeks
ago after his election to a place on
the standing committee. Sena
tor Hummel put up a candidate in
the person of Geo. M. Witmer of
Salem. The result of the ballot was
Lombard 20. Witmer 14. Edwin
Charles was elected Secretary and
J. F. Reitz was elected Treasurer.
A finance committee was appointed
consisting of A. W. Musser of Bea
vertown, H. E. Bolender of Frank

Monroe township.
The fight brought a great many
noliticians to town. Even the mix
ture politician of the Belinagrove
limes was on deck and electioneered
with both Republicans and Demo
crats for the Hummel candidate. If
Lesher made any votes at all, it re
duced Hummel's influence to a minimum.

passed the Senate, but was defeated
in the House. The bill was but one
of many indications that, in Ihe
eye of law, property is becoming of
more value than life or liberty. In
Benjamin Franklin's time it was
proposed to make the possession of
a certain amount of property a pre

Would at the lime have bought one
a s a. Franklin characteristically
argued : If a man with an ass could
vote and did vote, when the ass
died, the man could not vote. Who
was it in fact that voted the man
or the ass'.' Franklin's argument
would hold good against many ot
the laws advocated to-day laws in
which the object is the stability of
property rather than the freedom ol
happiness of man. This condition
of affairs, this conflict between the
right ot liberty on the one band and
the right of property on the other,
has created a great political problem.
