Looking at It the Wrong Way.
The TKIIII NI: at all times desires to be
fair in matters in which the public is In
terested. and we always willingly give
-pace to the 'other side." In our "Live
Question" department today appears an
article from the pen of A. F. Hroomhall,
of Cincinnatti, who has attained no small
amount of notoriety through his econo
mic writings. He takes, what we con
sider. a pessimistic view of the situation,
and fails to remember the first lesson
which every single taxer has been
taught—to push forward on the line of
the least resistance. His opinions, we
might state, tire not concurred in by the
great army of single tax people. They
agree with him that the results of re
monetization of silver may he disap
pointing to some, to those who can see
DO further than bimetallism, and do not
-laim that free coinage will act as a
panacea for all the social ills of the
nation. In lining up for the bimetallic
standard they have done so because they
; believe a double is better than a single
stein, and by destroying the monopoly
■•f money that exists they will remove the
greatest ally landlordism has. That will
make the work which Mr. liroomliail is
interested in so deeply so much easier
when the land question is the issue, and
it, will he the next issue $ free silver
: wins in November.
Like many others, the writer of "What
i Silvi-r Will Not Do" fails to realize what
! silver will do. Granting that its re
j moneiization will not inaugurate the
| millennium and that the result may lie
•omewhat disappointing to some of its
uv-rzealous advocates, the fact that the
money question introduces a new era in
Aincriean pelt ies should not be lost sight
I of for an iiistilnt, and Mr. liroomliail is
-iiOieiently hooked to appreciate the
great benefit that will bo to tho sii gle
: tax. Before natural taxation can be
come a national issue tho voters must
learn political independence, and if they
; can learn that through the discussions
:on the money question, and then
1 demonstrate their power at the polls
and at the same time break the money
monopoly and give tho nation a sound
; financial system, it will lie tho greatest
aid that the single taxers could ask for.
Willi the power of money lessoned or
destroyed, other necessary and impor
tant reforms can follow the silver issue
on, like it, to victory. Single taxers are
-ulliciently strong and influential enough
tu prevent the Mpfortn movement from
diverging from the straight course. They
have kept the one main object in veiw
i in every campaign of recent years, and
He ir strength has been an important
factor in guiding the voters iu tho right
direction. The election of Cleveland in
isti-j was evidence of this, and the over
whelming defeat of his party two years
later, because of the party's betrayal of
i he trust placed in it. was still more con
vincing proof that single taxers hold the
balance of power and can keep one
j party eithtf- moving in the direction do
sired or not moving at all.
The trouble with Mr. Hroomhall is he
cannot adapt fcimsclf to circumstances,
ile is one of the aggressive men who
have enrolled under George's banner,
Gut prefers to do nothing rather than
pond time battling for any issue that
- relatively of less importance than
natural taxation. Therein he shows
iliiit he underestimates the advantage!
which will be gained by having the side
! questions settled beforo taking up the
! laud problem, and his reference to the
hearts and heads of the silver men comes
back with peculiar application to him-
I self.
Schuylkill Republicans met on Mon
day and nominated C. N. Brumm, of
Minersvillc, for congress. The St. Louis
platform was endorsed, and a resolution
declaring for international bimetallism
was defeated. Brumm is an avowed
! free silverite, hut promised to stand on
I the platform. As soon sis he did this
I i lie free silver element left the conven
tion and issued a call for a mooting to
morrow to decide what the Rqpublican
j -ilver men of the county should do.
! The county is a strong silver locality,
and the bolters predict Brumm's defeat
if he sticks to gold.
In Lackawanna county on Tuesday
William L'onuell, the coal operator, was
nominated for congress on the Republi
can ticket. Congressman Scranton's
faction did not go near the meeting, and
the proceedings were listless. Council
is a goldite, and the most prominent Re
publicans concede that the silver men of
the party and Scranton's friends will
! defeat him.
Sain Losch lias been nominated in
Schuylkill county for state senator to
I succeed Senator Keefer.
LIVE QUESTIONS.
j A Scries of Articles Contributed by
Advanced Thinkers.
WHAT SILVER WILL NOT DO.
"The hi metallic standard will make
the JJnitcd States the most prosperous
nation on the globe," says an authority
on silver. If tlieso words are true, no
patriot should deny free silver his sup
port. But are they true?
It is said that all the gold in tho
world would make a cube but 22 feet
long, 22 fet wldo and 22 feet high;
that all tho silver in tho world would
make a cube 00 feet long, CO feet wide
and CO feet high, and that in dollars at
a ratio of 1C to 1 there would be about
i the same number of dollars of silver as
of gold. #
Therefore the free silver proposition,
when reduced to its lowest terms, is as
follows:
The world now coins A block of gold
22 feet each way, and we propose to
make this the most prosperous country
on the. globe by coining a block of silver
which is 00 feet each way. That is, we
propose to coin the equivalent of another
block of gold 22 feet each way and
make everybody prosperous and liappy.
9 The hearts of the silver men arerigjit,
but their heads arc; wrong. Tho pros
perity of this or any other country does
not depend upon tho coinage of a block
of silver CO feet each way. No amount,
of increase in the number of pieces of
metal or the number of pieces of paper
called'dollars would bring any perma
nent relief to those whose only source of
supply is the labor of their brains and
hands. Dollars are nothing to them, but
the opportunity to oxchango their labor
for the necessaries of life is life itself.
If we bad free coinage, we would
have double the number of dollars, hut
who would have them? It would not ho 1
the laboring man. It would not be tho
House of Hunger. But then, as now,
the House of Have would have all tho
dollars, white and yellow, and the only
way that labor could get them would
be to toil for them.
And ho who thinks that monopoly
would really yield its white dollars for
less toil than its yellow ones is leaning
upon a broken reed.
What men get for their labor is not
determined by the number of dollars,
but by the number of men in the coun
try. It is competition in the labor mar
ket that llxes the rate of wages, and un
til the free coinage of men ran show
that by doubling the number of dollars
they can decrease competition among
men for opportunity to labor they have
no right to say that free coinage will
help the poor.
Silver men denounce tho crime of
1873 and confidently assert that if silver
had not been demonetized that this
country would have been contented and
• prosperous today.
Suppose that there had been no silver
to demonetize or that all the silver in
the world hud been turned into gold
and that the nations of the earth had
coined it all—that instead of coining
one block of gold 22 feet each way they
coined two such blocks. Would that
have prevented the concent-ration of
three-fourths of the wealth of the coun
try into the hands of 250,000 families?
Would that have prevented 0 per cent
of tho population of New York from
owning all of Manhattan Island v Would
every citizen of Cincinnati have owned
his own homo, or would 13 per cent of
her people own the whole city, as they
do now?
It is idle to attribute our social ills to
sue.ha cause. The silver men prescribe
for mumps when their patient is dying
of consumption.
It was not "tho crime of 1873" which
caused our social ills, but a crime as
wide as tho world and almost as old as
the race.
Our forefathers, few in number, found
a virgin continent with leagues of un
peopled soil, free, to all who would till
it. They were not rich, but they were
prosperous and free. There are still
leagues of unpeopled soil, hut it is
"walled round'with paper against. God
and man," while we are confronted with
tho hard conditions xYhich prevail in
every country where men are plenty and
land is scarce.
"The commercial value of any com
modity depends on the supply und de
mand. If the demand for a particular
1 commodity is continually rising and the
supply does not increase, tho commer
cial value will continually rise."
A leading free silver advocate uses
this as applied to gold, but there is only
. one commodity to which it qpplies with
. all its force, and that is land. Land, the
source of all supply, is limited in supply
and the demand is constantly increasing.
Tlie mere ownership of gold could
never give permanent power.
The owners of land would soon de
mand it all for tlie privilege of staying
on tho earth. Landowners would be
. come, as they are now, tho owners of
[ gold and nearly.icverything else.
. It is a mistake to suppose that the
1 owners of gold form a distinct class.
( They do not. They are simply rich men
! who are the owners of the laud and of
all stocks, bonds and mortgages, all of
' which represent land of some kind.
United States bonds are merely mort
gages on the whole country. The owners
of gold and silver own the earth. 'The
1 owners of the earth own tho gold and
silver and tho people too. To control
the owners of gold the people must own
tho land.
The most ardent advocate of silver
would not claim that any kind of coin
age would lessen pauperism in Kngland
or shorten tho hours of toil in China.
There the overplus of men is so great
that the cause of low wages, or cheap
1 meu, which is the same thing, is too
I obvious to need demonstration. Every
one can tliat the only hope for China
is to decrease her population or increase
her free land.
No umount of increase in her circu
lating medium would increase'tho prico
l of Chiijann ii. But if a new continent
' should rise in the Pacific ocean, to
which Chiuomcn could go mid get free
laud, the price of the Chinamen who
remained at home would quickly rise.
So in America. It is not an increase
in available dollars that wo need, but
an increase in available acres.
It is the monopoly of land, not the
monopoly of money, which causes in
equalities in the distribution of wealth
and fills the hearts and homes of the
people with despair.
Millions of acres of unused laud lie at
our very doors. It is the continent of
monopoly. The people have but to speak
and its doors will fly open. But free sil
ver is not sesame. There is but one
word that will reveal the treasure, and
that is single tax. When the people pro
nounce it at the ballot box, the doors of
monopoly land will fly open, and, like
the promised laud of old, it will be found
flowing with milk and honey, for where
land is free and man is willing plenty
comes as the sunshine and rain.
Now occasions teach now duties. Tiino makes
ancient good uncouth.
They must upward still and onwurd who
would keep abreast of truth.
Lol before us gleam hor campfires. We our
selves must pilgrims be,
Launch oitr Mayflower and steer boldly
through tho desperato winter sea,
Nor attempt the future portal with the past's
blood rusted key.
A. F. BKOOMHALL.
PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.
In new and sparsely settled countries
the trail is the only means of communi
cation. With an increasing population
and the consequent increase in traffic
the trail becomes inadequate ami is dis
placed by the dirt road.
Population and traffic between com
munities increasing more and more, the
dirt road gives way to tin? macadamized
and telford roads, all controlled and
managed by the people.
For still heavier traffic and for long
distances and to bring the consumers
and producers together at the minimum
of expense and time the common roads,
being unsuitable and too expensive, arc
largely discarded and railroads substi
tuted.
Nobody disputes tho right of the peo
ple to control and manage tho ordinary
public highways. Why, then, should ex
ceptions be made in regard to railways,
which are simply improved public roads?
What gives railroad corporations their
great power is not the money they pos
sess, not the rolling stock they own, not
the track upon which the latter is run.
It is the exclusive ownership, control
and management of a continuous strip
of land that permits them to dictate
terms to their employees, to charge all
the traffic will bear and to favor some
and discriminate against others.
To break the railroad power the peo
ple must resume ownership, control and
management of the public highways
paved with rails
CANONS OF TAXATION.
I.
In our opinion the most prominent
evils in state taxation at tho present
time are to he found in the habitual un
dervaluation of property and in tho
neglect to assess at. all a largo propor
tion of all personality. We have not the
time to enumerate and explain all these,
hut they include the habitual taking of
false oaths by assessors, connivance
at and encouragement or these by the
public, the fixing of arbitrary standards
by the assessors, the departure from
such standards when there are friends
to favor or obnoxious business or classes
to punish, and the strengthening and
encouragement of a sentiment among
the people that (in matters of taxation)
there are mo such things as public obli
gations or public morals.
Why should manufacturers or offi
cials be honest in the taxation of liquors
when neither the public nor officials are
expected to be honest in ordinary state
and municipal taxation?
There is an evil hero of sufficient
vitality and persistence to employ the
best efforts of reformers for many years
to come.
11.
Tho law, in selecting the objects of
taxation, should prefer those which af
ford the least opportunity for conoeai
moiit, evasion and fraud, and (all other
things being equal) should choose Mioso
which are so far exposed to public ob
servance that it will not he necessary to
prove the conscience of tho citizen (by
means of oaths) beforo the assessor can
make his list.
HI.
The objects should ho such that the
tax levied upon them will (directly or
indirectly) he borne by the members of
tho community generally and, so near
as may bo, in proportion to their respec
tive incomes. The fewer the objects of
taxation the better (provided tho proper
result is reached), because the less will
he, the difficulty, annoyance and expense
of assessment and collection.
If a single tax would fall upou a
few only, it should be supplemented by
such an will relievo this injustice, and
the effect of uny one tax (or of a tax on
uny one object) should be considered
only in its general bearing as a part of
the general levy of taxes by the state,
v.
A tax law should nnt only (as nearly
as possible) be just, but it should pre
sent (to tho common mind) no appcar
unceof injustice.
In drafting it it should be remem
bered that (to most men) a tax seems to
be a burden on the man from whom the
collector receives it, even when the edu
cated mind is able to perceive that the
payer himself is the real collector and
is reimbursed in his payment by his cus
tomers. THOMAS M. C HOLEY.
The repeated demands for the aboli
tion of the electoral college and the
election of the president and vice presi
dent by the direct vote of the people,
and the election of the United States
senators by tho direct vote of the people
of the several states, are indicative of
tho dissatisfaction of the people with
the existing methods of choosing our
large and continually increasing army
of federal officeholders and their desire
for a change.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, August 4, 1890.
Tho gold Democrats are slowly hut
surely lining up Tor llryan and Sewall.
Already one uicufbor of the cabinet—
Secretary Hoke Smith—has declared for
them, and three other members, whose
names I am not at liberty to mention at
this time, have intimated their intention
to do the same. Secretary Smith has
not only declared his intention to sup
port the ticket, but lie lias said that if
lie can possible arrange his time so as
to be there he will accept the invitation
which has been extended him to preside
over a big Bryan and Sewall ratification
meeting to he held at Augusta, Ga.,
August 12. Senators Gordon, of Geor
gia, and Lindsey, of Kentucky, were
in Washington this week and they an
nounced their intention not only to vote
for Bryan and Sewall but to work for
their election. Senator Gordon has al
ready notified Chairman Jones, of the
national committee, that he is ready to
take the stump for the ticket at the
pleasure of the committee. These
things indicate a getting together of
Democrats that means victory.
Representative Russell, of Georgia,
who has just returned from a trip to
Boston, says: "1 found tho citizens of
the 'Hub* talking more about the money
question than the people of Washington
are, if such a thing is possible. To iny
utter surprise I found that a goodly per
cent of them were in favor of free silver.
Men who were in a position to know as
sured me that the cause was making
rapid strides in every New England
state, and that ir the gain maintained
its present ratio Bryan would surely
carry one or two of them. There wasn't
a word to ho heard about McKinley or
tin! tariff; ail the enthusiasm was on
Bryan and silver. lam convinced that
the people of this country have made up
their minds to try the other system, and
that Bryan is going to be elected presi
dent by a tidal wave majority."
There is considerable growling amoi g
the more prominent Republicans at
Mark I lamia's dictatorial manner of
running things, and among themselves
they are recalling the last campaign in
w licli a wealthy busim ss man under
took the duties of chairman of their
national committee, to show tho politi
cians how a campaign ought to be run,
and ended by seeing Blaine, the most
popular Republican ever nominated for
president, defeated. The other million
aire chairman was B. F. Jones, of Pitts
burg. Haiina scouts to remind some of
these Republicans of Jones, and the
Democrats are confident that his manage
ment of the campaign will have the
same result—the defeat of the Republi
cans.
If John W. Hayes, general secretary
of the Knights of Labor, knows what he
is talking about, and he probably does,
that organization is practically unanim
ous for Bryan and free silver. Speak
-lig about this Mr. Hayes said: "The
workingmon as a class are in favor of
free coinage, and they will vote for it
and elect Bryan. Labor organizations
like the Knights of Labor will not, as
organizations, participate in tho cam

for it."
Senator Faulkner, chairman of the
Democratic congressional committee,
returned this week from a visit to West
Virginia. In reply to a question as to
tin; outlook in that state, lie said:
"Everything is all right. The silver
sentiment at present sweeping over my
state reminds me of a prairie lire; it is
simply resistless. Furthermore, It seems
to be going straight on to the Fast: but
but in spite of its spread we must re
member that when we are antagonizing
the great money power and corporate
interests of the country we have a light
on our hands that calls for united effoits
and determined work to the close of the
campaign."
The District of Columbia Democrats
are preparing to take an active part in
campaign: they can't vote, but they can
help to convince these who do vote to
vote tho right way. A Bryan and Se
wall Club this week adopted resolutions
repudiating the Democracy of those
federal officials who are drawing salaries
by the grace of the Democratic party
who have publicly opposed the regular
Democratic ticket. It, is expected that
the big Democratic ratification meeting
which will be addressed by Mr Bryan
will be held in one of the large tents
used by the late Christian Endeavor
convention. The local Democrats hope
to make this meeting the biggest thing
of the kind ever held in Washington.
