FRIDAY, DKCEMNKK 2.1, .
, LABOR
AND CAPITAL.
The tendency of the
tinuss
toward a consolidation or inttuwi
in vrbiou the lahoror, the man who
is compelled, as is the farmer, to dt
hlsown work, is robbed. Hew is
what Senator lngalls fans to say ol
the situation.
Labor and capital should not be an
tagonists,allies rether. They should
not be opponents and enemies, but
colleagues and auxiliaries, whoar
co-operative rivalry is essential
to national prosiwiily. But I can
not forbear to atttrtu that a Ktit ioiil
system which under such despotic
power can be wrested fitm tin
people and vested in the few is a
democracy only in name. A fin
ancial system under which more
than one half of the tnormow
wealth of the country, derived
from the bounty .of uature and the
labor of all, is owned by a Huh
more than 30,000 people whih
l,tH0,iHK American eituens. able
aud willinjs to t .il, are liomeles."
tromjw, starving for bread, rwjumi
adiustment. A swial system which
offers to tender, virtuous and inde
pendent woman the alternative
betweeu prostitution aud suicide a
an escape from hegpiry is orgnniiml
crime, for which some day unre
lentiuK justice will demand atone
ment aud explanation. Mr. Presi
dent, the man who loves his country
and who studies her history will
BCiueh in vain for any national
cause for its appalling condition.
The earth has not forgotten to yield
her increase. There has been no
general failure of harvests. We
have had betiignaut skies and the
early aud the late rain. Xeithei
famine nor pestilence has deci
mated our population nor wasted
itseuergies. Immigration is flow
In from every land, and we are in
the lusty prime of national youth
aud strength, with unexampled
resources aud every stimulus to
their development; but sir, the
great body of the American peo
ple are engaged today in studj irifc
these problems that I have sag
gtwted in this morning. They art
disheartened with misfortune. They
are tired of the exactions of the
snwrnhitors. They desire peace
and rest They are turning their
attention to the great Industrial
niirtitlmis which underlie their
material prosperity. They are in
different to party. They wire noth
ing for republicanism tor for dem
ocracy as such. They are ready
tosav. "A plague on both your
houses," and they are ready, also,
Mr. President, to hail aud to wel
come any organization, any meas
ure, any leader that promises them
relief from the profitless strife ol
ftoliticians aud this turbulent and
.liHti-iutinc agitation which hah
alreadyculmiuated in violence and
. may eud in blood.
Such, sir, is the verdict which I
read in the elections from which we
have just emerged; a verdict that
' was unexpected by the leaders ol
both parties, and which surprised
alike the victors and the van
quished. It was a spontaneous,un
premeditated protest of the people
against existing conditions. It wa
tt revolt of the national conscience
against injustice; a movement thai
is full of pathos and also lull of dan
ger, because such movements some
time make victims of those who an
gniltles. It was not a republican
defeat It was not a democratic
victory. It was a great upheavel
and uprising, independent of and
superior to both. It was a crisis
that may become a catastrophe,
filled with terriblo admonition, but
not without encouragement to those
who understand and are ready to
co-operate with it
Is round numbers there are
3,500,000 scpiare miles of territory
in these United Slates. In u
square mile are C40 acres of land
therefore the area of the United
States in acres is 2,210,000,000. II
all other public taxes and income.'
were abolished such as tarilts,
sales of public lands, direct taxe.
of each state, and a tax of one dol
lar an acre levied, the incoim
would amount to the yearly sum
of 12, 240, 000, 000, The income
valae of good farm land being only
say $5 an acre, and of town lots
much more, the average tax on
wild lands could be made as low as
teD cents an acre, farm lands thirty
cents, and incomes in cities, aim
taxes on franchises of corporations
wake the balance.
It costa about $700,000,000 year
lyto support our general govern
ment, and about that much more
yearly to support our state and
municipal government. If lands
alone were taxed, giving an income
of $2,240,000,000, a full $1,000,000,
000 would 'remain to be used in
making the life of onr people easier.
Why should products of labor be
directly taxed? Why not place
taxes at the foundation and let our
people be tenants to our govern
ment instead of the grasping indi
viduals, now fast becoming syndi
cates of immense power.
Tntikfkndente has always stood
' '4 "'
M tMimotttU' lo i
;3h hnJ with
help el.tuiu'legislat Urn in tavor of
the Normal School; and has also
been lilwral in making money con
tributions. Monmouth tiectls no
more help, so now let us have a
meeting of eitiens and decide on a
course to pursue in having the
Oregon legislature pass laws to
keep the Willamette river opeu
throughout the year. It has been
estimated that only a few thnusaud
dollars expended in connection
with the appropriation by the gov
ernment will keep an open river
throughout the year.
Axn how Independence Is soon
to be connected with Salem by
motor. Our merchants are already
beginning to think of the day
when all the trade of the town will
goto Salem. Monmouth thought
all its trade would come to Inde
pendence, but it did not, when the
motor lino was completed, aud so
will Independence Ui surprised at
the result Hundreds will visit
our tow n who never come now
and our county w ill fill up us never
before. We welcome the advent ol
the electric lino from Satem.
