We cannot navigate the ocean, as we use the materials of the land, and have an opportunity to come back to land. When we go up in a balloon we are yet maintained by the pressure of the air. upon the land. Labor is the active factor of production, land is the passive factor. Without the use of land, labor is perfectly helpless, and therefore it is that the mere laborer, the man who has nothing but bis labor, who has no right, no access to any piece of land upon which to utilize that labor, is a perfectly helpless being, Instead of employing himself, he must go and sue for employment to some employer.

The mere laborer cannot live save on land and can work but on land. Labor itself can accomplish nothing, and a man who is a mere laborer has to find somebody who has something else before he can utilize his labor. Why, there is no mystery about the fact that there are so many unemployed laborers in tbe country, that mere work seems to be a boom. F. B.

That is what this turning of workingmen to political action means. That ishat the rise here and there of the united labor party means. The first skirmish is in another great contest, the first gatherings for another and greater battle.

There lie at the root of all these social and political problems of our time a great injustice. Invent and improve "as we may, the struggle for improvement is keener and harder, because of a great social wrong, because we are denying the equal rights of men. Because, instead of assuring to each one that which is the natural birthright, and equal right and use of the land of his country we are making the bounty of the Creator, ttat which he intended all men to live on, and we are making that something to be grabbed and gambled for." After the lecture a number of questions were put to Mr, George, -all of which he easily answered. To-morrow night Mr. George will make a public address on the market square.

Mr. George has consented to speak at Wyandotte this evening between 7 and 8 o'clock, at either Dunning's opera house or Stevens' hall. Mr George I am an admirer of your aiticle td some extent and would like to have a joint debate at Chicago or New York at any time that it is convenient.

"Kansas City is known all over the United States now by its real estate boom. I believe. I read in one of the papers an article that said that a few months ago it may have been a few years, but 1 think it said a few months land that could have been bought for $50 an acre is now worth $500 per foot. And I expect that there are many men in this town who have nothing but their labor yet really rejoice in this boom-to see our land going up such a fine thing to see our city have a boom that overtops all the little booms.

These men who don't own a square inch of land take pride in living in such city.
