vcorge Montford Simonron, writing
lu Munsey's for August, describes the
remarkable growth of the great landed
estates in America and discusses the
cause of the movement and. its possible
meaning for good or ill. We havo a
landed aristocracy, and a correlated
class called the proletariat, or landless
class. The latter claps notv number
over half of the 70,000,000 of our popu
lation. Tho landlord class ir growing
in its holdings and power, the land
less class Has lost its independence.
We recently referred to Lord Scully,
the alien rack renter, who, with rents
from Ills crlglni'l purchase of 100,000
aires in Illinois iu the '50's. has been
increasing his holdings until he now
owns In addition an entire 'county in
Kansas, 42,000 acres in Gage county.
Nebraska, 30,000 in Nuckolls county,
and other large tracts. In this arti
cle, using Mr. Simonson for authority,
wo will call attention to some other
landed sentry.
The Vanderbilt family is naturally
taking the lead in grasping the baste
of all power and authority, the land.
George W. Vanderbilt, the youngest of
William H. Vanderbilt's sons, "is mak
ing of Baltimore, near Asheville, North
C'aiolina. one of the most remarkable
mansions. This Vanderbilt has bought
"0,00,0 acres there, land that made
many tsmall farms, and has put up a
mansion, the foundation of which cost
$400,000. The lop of a mountain was
leveled off to make the site, and ini
mrn.se quantities of rich soil for the
gardens were transported by rail
from distant valleys and river bottoms.
A temporary railroad was constructed
to convey building material to the site
of the mansion. This vast Vanderbilt
estate is to be devoted to tree culture
and a game preserve. The raising of
wild deer and foxes Is more Important
than the rearing of men.
tM .lohn Jacob Astor has a similar es
"' tate In Florida.
i Still greater in extent is the manor
f of Dr. William Seward Webb (whose
wife was the William II. Vanderbilt's
daughter) in the Adiroudacks, an es
tate of 153,000 acres, including part of
. two counties. Of this amount 112.000
' acres bail been incorporated by Dr.
Webb under the name of the Nehasane
Park Association, as the manager of
the estate says, "in order to facilitate
the perpetual holding In a solid body
of so much of this land as Dr. Webb
should finally decide it desirable to
devote permanently to the purpose of
a private park and game preserve."
Much of this estate will be fenced to
confine large game, moose, elk and
... I'eer having already been placed in the
enclosure for breeding purposes, with
a view to the final stocking of the
whole park. tlet men die; let millions
of families be homeless; but provide
the rich a range to breed wild animals,
that they and the English dukes and
marquises who come to trade names for
fortunes ma
hem.)
Dr. Webb
ountry sea;
ortunes may have the fun of shooting
Webb has also one of the finest
ountry seats in America on the east
side of Iikp Ohamplain. It contains
30,500 acres, and twenty-eight small
farms, homes, were absorbed to form
Uhis single family ebtate.
1 M. McK. Twombly. another son-in-ylaw
of William H. Vanderbilt, has an
Restate adjoining Webb's in the Adiron
( clacks which contains about 100,000
acres, besides a splendid country seat
t,v. Madison, N. J., containing several
lis lid red acres of ground.
Austin Corbin, president of the Long
Island railroad, has a vast estate In
New Hampshire, containing 1M.000
acre. The declared object of farming
this great game preserve is "to pro
tide a living book on natural history
for the instruction of hi son." How
flue a thing it would be for the whole
Iitited Slates to lie bought up by mil
lionaires and converted Into private
parka to furnish shooting and instruc
t lion for their sons in natural history!
j Corl in has had thirty inilei of barbed
wire fence placed around his park, at
' a cost of $70,000, and has placed within
r'dudeer from lihrador, wild hoar
' from Gentian), moos from Montana,

$200,000 was lorn down because It In
terfered with the view. A million dol
lars has already been upent upon the
grouads under Frederick Law Olm-
ead's direction.
Adjoining this estate is that of John
D. Rockefeller. The brothers are next
door neighbors, but their houses are two
miles and a half apart. John D. Rocke
feller also owns an' extensive and or
nate place near Cleveland, called For
est Hill.
Frederick W. Vanderbilt has recently
bought six hundred acres on the Hud
son, near Ayde Park, formerly the Wal
ter Langdon estate. Clarence Dens
more has a maiKjr at Stahlsburgh on
the Hudson; Archibald Rogers' lordly
demesne is called Crumwold Hall; John
Jacob Astor's Ferncliff contains X0:
acres, in the same region, and James
Roosevelt's seat is known as S; v lug
wood. Governor Morton, twenty Unlets a mil
lionaire, lias .'i c lebrated place near
New York called Ellerslie, where a
thousand acres are under artistic culti
vation. His barn is 500 feet long and
cost nearly a million dollars.
The late Gay Gould's country neat
contains a thousand acres. With iis
marble mansion it cost over a million
dollars. George Gould has a notable
summer seat at. Furlough Lodge, in the
Catskills with 2,300 acres of mountain
forest. Part of this is inclosed in a
fence of thirty-two strands of barbed
wire, within which are preserved herds
of elk and deer besides quantities of
pheasants and other small gam?.
,Uut it Is ii weariness to describe and
read of the American millionaires' pal
aces, pleasure grounds and game pre
serves, it would take pages and pag"s
of print and hours and hours of read

be written describing the summer pal
aces and merely ornamental parks of
Tuxedo, Lenox, Newport, Saratoga,
Lake George and t lie Thousand Islands.

When the next general election comes
I expect to hear our general master
workman sound another bugle call,
commanding us, In the name of God
and humanity, to stop protesting; to
cease being protestantB, rally at the
ballot box and there demand our rights.
Labor lias the power, the votes, and
can obtain Its rights whenever It will.
One year from next November we can
elect the president and vice-president,
every member of the lower house of
congress, all the statti legislatures, thus
securing many I'nited States senators.
We can change the method of electing
senators, or abolish the senate alto
gether. We can noon change the char
acter of the Supreme court, We can
establish the initiative and referendum.
We can settle the lanO question, the
transportation and all other questions
in short ordr. We can burn up the
constitution and write a new one. We
can burn up all our present statute
books and pass new laws, based on
equity and Justice. We can make this
government what our forefathers de
signed it should be "a government of
the people, by the people, and for the
people" instead of as now, a govern
ment of the jiioneyci'ulr. by the money
erats and for the moneycrals only. Wo
can make It a land where all are "born
free and equal." and where all have the
"right to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness."
The workingnien can do ail this one
year from next November, If they only
will. They can now convert this very
hell on earth into the paradise of God.
They can answer their own prayer,
which so many of us have so often
prayed, "Our Father who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done on earth as it
is In Heaven." All this can be done
practically at the ballot-box. If the
moneycrals, the politicians, the federul
Judges and olllce holders don't like It,
why, let them do the protesting. Le
them turn protestants. When they jret
tired of that, they may emigrate to
Russia, or go to Money Island and s;art
a Fool's Paradise

ferences fur their own Interests, strad

The Arizona Populist says: The

CO cents per hundred pounds. From

New York to San Francleco is 2 cents.
From same point to Phoenix is 2 cents.
One is under a system of private owner

The man who is able to ship in car
loads does it for loo per cent less than
the poor devil who is not able to do so.
Hut the man who buys a million posfigo
stamps pays the same rale as the poor
devil who buys one. Awful thing, this
public ownership.
Carlisle's recent s,)eechat Boston
may serve one good purpose. He shows
e'early the administration policy, so
that the people may not be mistaken as
to the real position of the money power
as represented by the "leaders of the
'.wo old parties. They are for gold
monometallism, without the use of
dther greenbacks cr
el'var-
all oiLer
cuiTf'iicy except gold to be Issued by
the banks only. Ho says gold can only
lie obtained by the sale of bonds, still
he wants the greenback destroyed,
which would Increase the demand for
gold and make it dillicult for the gov
ernment to buy gold even with bonds.
The rate of Interest would be increased,
as Carlisle sadly deplores the fact that
"interest rates are lower than ever be
fore" and of course "idle capital"
would have an opportunity for "profit
able investment" in the bonds which
it would be necessary for the govern
ment to issue in order to retire the
greenback. It must be remembered
that Carlisle Is an authorized mouth
piece of the adnilnistrailon, and that
the administration is the duly recog
nized American agent of the Hutha

"Imperialism In America," with a sale
of 40,000 copies. She was a pioneer in

Perhaps there is nothing unusual in
the fact, but nevertheless we consider
it worthy of note, that the man who had
most to do at the general convention of
the Protestant ICplscopal church was J.
Pierpont Morgan. He Is also the gen
tleman who advises President Cleve
land when to isste bonds, and also "pro
tects" the 1'tiitcd St;t;es treasury at the
rate of nine million dollars a protect.
He is called the "financial Bismarck,"
the great central figure around which
the New York financial system re
volves,. It is but natural that he
should also control a branch of th-
church of Mammon, since there is none
greater than he in the kingdom.
The great toady press makes quite a
sensation of the fact that President
Cleveland wan guilty of a "breach of
Etiquette" on a.-count of having neg
lected the time-honored custom of beine;
present at tho opening of the uupretiie
court, 3 that those dignitaries might
exchange the usual flatteries and con
veutioiislitioji. The president was bii'iy
flsliing and forgot that the supreme
court was entitled to his august pres
ence, according to all ihe traditions and
superstitions of Judicial formality. And

In the Ilaleigh, N. C, silver conven
tion the following resolution proposed
ia the one that met the greatest opposi
tion from the democrats:
"To this end we earnestly recom
mend to the voters that hereafter they
elect only such rettators and representa
tives in congress as are sincerely In
favor of tho principles hereinbefore ex
pressed and only such presidential
electors an will publicly declare on the
stump that they will ote for no man
for president or vice-president who H
not in favor of fetich principles, and
who:-:e record and platform are guaran
tees that they will be faithfully execut
ed." The silver men in the old parties are
great on talk, but when It comes to
pledging themselves to vote for silver,
that Is different.

COAL 00i:S UP AGAIN.
THE HICH WAY ROBBERS AT

Within the last four weeks the prl.n
of coal was raised by order of the coal
and railroad ring In the East about tw
dollars a ton.
These pirates not only determine hw
much the American people shall be
taxed to keep warm and save them
selves from freezing to death, but their
ring actually decrees the amount' or
coal the people shall bo permitted to
have, by regulating the "output."
All Ihe anthracite coal mines ire In
five counties in Pennsyl vaiiia aaJ mx
coai and railroad companies absolutely
control the mines and the railroads
lending lo litem.
People owning coal l:inds in that re
gion cannot mine rhe coal becaui'.' tlia
monopolies will not furnish them
switches and other chipping facilities.
As ii result, these commercial pirates
can do Just as they please and force the
price up beyond all reason.
The miners In the anthracite receive
about twenty cents a ton for aiinMiS
I he coal, and people In the Dakota.-! pay
as high as $17 a ton for it.
In Milwaukee the price has beer. ? 1.7.1
and has row been raised by ordir of
the Kastern coal ring to 80.50, with a
prospect of an additional raise.
The coal kings In order to maintain
the price decide in their meetings how
nine!) coal idiall lie mined in a year,
"regulating the output" they call it.
The annual output. In about Sfi.OOO.OOO
tons and figuring the unjust extortion
of the ring at only three dollars a ton
on the average, which Is certainly a
very low estimate, the "legal" robbery
amounts to
$1.10,000,000 A YEAH,
or nearly as much as the total amount
of tariff duties the fovernment ccd'ecta
each year.
That I the robbery on one commodi
ty only. Now figure it on all necessi
ties and then dear republican and dem
ocratic voter ask yourself how much
longer you are going to play cat's pa

uould necessarily result. The rights of
