"The labor question can never be set- j tied until the land question is settled." j said Tom Mann in a recent address to I London workingmen, and this is a con- j elusion which every practical reformer must arrive at who has given careful j study to the economic structure of our t industrial system. The land is the oasis j of all industry. Society is no less de- I pendent upon the soil for its very exist ence than are all employments in our j social organism for the means and op portunities of labor. From the pen of the city clerk to the pick of the coal miner, the implement of bread-winning, j like the bread itself upon which the I worker must subsist, has come from | tlie inexhaustible storehouse of nature— the land. These are no new proposi- : •lions. They are, on the contrary, so ! familiar and self-evident that they are open to the objection of being common- j place and unnecessary in present day discussions of the great problem of social j reform. But we agree with Mr. Mann's practi- I cal proposition, and experience demon- j strates the fact that the wheels of pro gress are propelled by the reiteration of old and well-established truths rather than bv new-fangled arguments. The tendency of the time is to wonder afield in search of scientific phrases and rem edies when discussing the problems of poverty, the unemployed, and the unjust distribution of the produce of labor. Magazine and drawing-room dialects require these learned reasonings, no' doubt; but the political economy of the | masses must bo spoken in plain unvar- I nished English. Its doctrines must be enunciated in the every-day language of industrial life, if the toiling millions are to comprehend its truths and to work out the application of the betterment of their social condition. The evils of the existing land system are understood by all. They are mani fest to the working classes more than to anv other section of the community. When strikes on a large scale occur, it is well known from what quarter "blacklegs" are to be looked for. The agricultural laborer, through no fault of I his own, becomes the enemy of the j striker. lie is driven from or induced I to leave the land by necessity or tempta- | tion, simply because he cannot claim fix- j ity of tenure upon it. When the "labor ■ market" is over-manned—as it is and al- ! ways will be while landlordism lives—it needs no knowledge of Ricardo or 1 Adam Smith to inform the artisan why his wages are lowered. The influx of I idle hands from the country makes it all ! as plain as a pikestaff. The agricultural ! laborer cannot, under existingconditions. j command such wages as will make life ! on the land as well worth living as in that ' of other industries, and he is therefore , driven into competition for the means of ; existence with his brother worker of the city or town. I n other words, the system of land laws which gives the ownership and administration of the land of these countries to a fraction of the community called landlords, in direct violation of the nation's indisputable right to its own soil—the system by which a tax of two or three hundred millions a year is levied by a privileged class upon the industrial community—is also permitted so to tie up, control and profit-monger the na tional patrimony as to compel the people born upon the land, bred to its labor, and trained to its cultivation, to leave it —when they are not actually driven from it—and to make the necessities of exis tence in a civilized country the most dis turbing and injurious agency in nearly every walk of industrial life. Workingmen, and workingmen alone, can arrest this growing and far-reaching j evil. Their apathy on the land question is alone responsible for its non-settlement ' upon a basis that would remedy the eco- j nomicanarchy which landlordism creates ' in the conditions of labor. It will be | their efforts, and theirs only, which will | succeed in removing this load from off j labor's back and restoring the soil of , their country to its original purpose of ! providing work for the hands that can ' till it. That which belongs by right and by inheritance to the nation must be no longer held by a class. Land was made for workers and not for idlers. It must be administered for the general good and ! not for the purposes of privilege of pri vate profit. The farmers' right of occu- j pancy, subject to just and fair conditions imposed in the interests of the cominu- ; nity, no one will gainsay. And, in view j of the paramount importance alike to I the States, as such, and to the interests ; of labor generally, of a healthy agricul-j tural industry, the conditions of tenure j should be as favorable to the occupier as j possible on land which provides the greatest amount of employment for the [ people. But it must be insisted upon i that no man shall be debarred from hav- i ing access to the soil for the application : of his labor. The agricultural laborer's right must be unquestioned and secure. j Land to him means life and hope. With out it he ends his existence as a pauper ! in his own village, or he becomes the ! wage loweref* and general disturber in i the industrial ranks elsewhere. Social reform, to react beneficially upon all the i industrial classes, must begin with the land-worker. He must be better housed ! and better paid, as a laborer, while the horizon of his hope for the future must be the occupancy and cultivation of land. 1 his will elevate and inspire him. The certainty of the workhouse now depresses and degrades him to the lowest level of industrial citizenship. Tom Mann is right. The land question must be solved before the labor question can lie settled. The best solution possi ble of the land problem is one that will treat it as a labor question, and nut an a subject of ownership between class and class. A peasant proprietary will only take the land from one class to confer its ownership upon another. It will substi tute one set of landlords for another set. The agricultural laborer will remain ex actly where be is, as landless under a tenant proprietary as under landlordism, as a great disturber of the industrial or ganism of the future as lie is to-day. The land for the people means tin. land for labor, and not for lahdlonlism, and it is for this reform that work ingmen must begin the great work of solving the labor question and of laying the foundation fur that industrial and social system which will secure to each worker the full fruits of his labor, and give ty the people the sovereignty alike of their country's government and their country's land inhor World, No Kiglit Hour Strike. The agitation for a general strike of all miners for an eight-hour da/, to begin to-morrow, has wound up in a fizzle. I In fact, as far as miners themselves were ! ! concerned the matter of striking had 1 not at any time been seriously considered. It was never anything more than a pet scheme of Gompers to keep himself and the Federation of Labor before the pub lic, and the refusal of miners every- | where to become his dupes in his craving for notoriety is commended by all who wish to see this class of workmen better their condition. Eight hours is a de sirable object, but it is not important euough to try to attain it by inducing 200,000 men to strike, as Gompers would have them do. With many miners | working only half time, some already on strike and a large percentage having no work of any kind, the eight-hour de- j mand would be sheer nonsense at the present time. To precipitate a strike and close down mining operations throughout the United States, as the | Federation proposed, to decide this trivial issue, could have but one end that of deserved defeat. Eight hours is not the key to the solution of the labor problem, any more than has been any of the numerous similar propositions advocated or adopted in the past. The TRIBI NE has no desire to under-estimate the benefits of shorter hours, but it ! claims that eight hours or such measures ! will have no permanent effect on the ' condition of the laboring class. Even though it were a necessity and could be i had for the asking, workingmen would 1 still be somebody's slaves and under obligations to their present masters for the privilege to live. Over production, which is claimed by many will be prevented by shorter hours, ' is not the cause of the depression in ! mining or any other industry. There is | use in this country for all the coal that ten times the present number of miners | can produce, but so long as thousands of | families in the large cities must buy it by j the bucket at exhorbitant prices or deny themselves of it entirely, so long will the demand ami consumption remain at a minimum. When the farmers of the West can buy coal and not be compelled to burn their corn for fuel, as was done last winter, then the miners will find work so plentiful that eight hours will be i sufficient to labor and they will also re- I ceive the full value of their toil. The j fact that even the miners can no longer! be hoodwinked into chosing rainbow remedies like the "eight-hour law" is encouraging in many respects. It shows that they have discarded the weapon of "strike" from their list of remedies, having found by experience that this double-edged sword of coercion cuts its | authors deep every time and labor in i variably pays dearly for all damages done on both sides. Past efforts have satis factorily proven how futile it is to battle against the inevitable results of present I conditions, and eight hours and such de- j ceptive illusions will amount to naught in the long run. It also indicates the growing disposition of the laboring ele ments to pursue their investigations to the cause of thetroubles. Investigations when pursued diligently and with a fixed purpose tc discover the reasons of this continual unrest can always be relied upon to bring the investigator to the root |of the evil. It is true that at times workingmen have, through the medium of powerful and influential organizations, wrested by force from employers con cessions which benefited them for the | time being, but no sooner do the organi j zations disappear than the plagues return with increased strength. The cancer of , society is still there, and until it is re moved nothing that may be advocated j or adopted can practically elevate work j ing people to the sphere they should i j occupy. When agitators conclude to de mand for the laborer that which is his ' by birthright they w ill find the remedy that can emancipate him and all others who feel the effects of the present sys tem. Eight-hour days are not going" to I obtain for the laborer what is due him, ; and as the game is not worth the powder there will he no miners' strike for shorter hours this year. I ! THE resignation of A. H. Stephen ' : son as editor of Justice , Philadelphia's ' \ bright single tax journal, will be re . | gretted by the readers of that paper. . I He is succeeded by H. V. Hetzell and ! j G. l'\ Stephens, who, as writers and 1 I speakers upon economic questions, are | a pair that can't be beat in Philadel- I pbia. j THE New York Press is astonished j to hear of 500 women and girls work ing in the iron foundries of Pittsburg. , The Press should not mind a little ! matter of this sort. It is only one of I the natural sequences which occur in 1 ; every country where people are denied ! the rights their Creator gave them. I Remove the barriers of trade and the i curse of landlordism and no mnu or j women need be the slave of another. PASE BALL has broken out afresh all over the country this spring, and the daily battles fought on the diamond i will be watched with far greater in terest this year than ever before. \\ lien the national game has its inn ings all other matters are of secondary ! | importance to the base ball fiend, j '• Italian affairs, immigration, tariff talk, | etc., must all give way to the ! momentous questions of "Who won ?" j i and "What's the score V IN consequence of the decline in con- 1 sumption of tinplate in this country by reason of the increased cost the manufacturers in Wales have con cluded to suspend production during the month of July. During that month the unemployed workingmen of \V ales will be compelled to do with less beef; bacon, flour, corn meal, but ter, cheese, petroleum, and other products of the United States. The tariff is like a boomerang in the hand of an unskilled savage. It hits its j author as often as its object.— Record, i SOME of the special census reports i present ligures that appear to be so ! unreasonable that they will naturally be received with distrust. One table of public school enrollment professes : to show that, although the population of Pennsylvania increased between i 188U and 1800 nearly 23 per cent., the increase in enrollment in the pub lic schools was only 1.59 per cent. New York presents similar figures, population increasing 18 per cent, and public school enrollment only 1.33. Although there has been an increased attendance in private and parochial . schools, it is very doubtful whether I theße census figures are correct. If they are tliey should not be published without some explanation, for they i seem to indicate a neglect of schools by intelligent communities that needs ! to be further examined.
