THE FARMER AND HIS VOTE.

THE FARMER AND HIS VOTE. A RUMOUR has gone abroad that the tenant farmers of North Wales are in this election go- ing to drop out of the ranks of the great army of progress. While, most of them are Liberal in sympathy, some, we are toM, intend to re- frain from voting, and others will give their votes in favour of the Protectionist candidates. Both sections, it is further said, have reluct- antly decided upon such a course, but they are forced into the step by the pressure of outs'de influences which they cannot resist. How far this state of affairs can. be described as general we are not in a position to, state; but that there is some ground for paying heed to the rumour is indicated by an incident which oc- curred last week. At a meeting of Liberal workers in a certain town. an urgent message was received from a rural parish in the con- stituency, the effect of which was We im- plore you not to send any canvassers or hold a public meeting here, because of the; landlord." Needless to say, the members of the committee, most of them accustomed to living in towns, were simply staggered by this evidence of the terrorism which still prevails in some of the country places, where the people are held, body and soul, in the hollow of one man's hand.. We are supposed to. be living in a free country; but in some rural political freedom is a vague and .shadowy thing, having very little Substance in fact. Or perhaps the case may be put in another way. Political freedom does ex- ist, even in. the rural localities, but the inhabi- tants are kept in ignorance of the fact and made to believe that the landlord will find out how they vote. What is wanted is to drive home to the minds of these people that the ballot is ab- solutely secret. It seems hard to believe that in this yelar of grace it is necessary to. enlighten a section of th-e voters upon this point, but so it is, and we hope that wherever public meet- ings and private canvassing are conducted in rural districts, great stress will be laid upon the truth that the ballot box will never reveal the secrets entrusted to it. And not only this, but the further truth that the ballot was given by a Liberal Government In this connection we command to the earnest attention of all our readers the striking article, entitled Frighten- ing the Farmer; which appears in another column, and which affords a glimpse of the heroism of the Welsh tenant farmers of x&68, who. at so much risk to themselves helped by their open votes," before the days of the bal- lot, to give Mr. Gladstoine his magnificent major- ity. It is not necessary here to. repeat, the story so graphically told in the article mentioned, but there is one aspect of the grim tragedy which may be touched upon. Although some of the two hundred farmers who had dared to vote Liberal were mercifully allowed to re- main in 'their farms, most of them were evicted in a most callous and cruel manner. But their cup of sorrow, so bitter to drink, was sweetened to a great extent by the splendid assistance ren- dered to them iby ipatrioftic Welshmen whose names it is a pleasure to recall and whose deeds should prove an. iinspiration to. all Welsh Lib- erals in (this great contest. Among them were Henry Richard, the first protagonist of Welsh Nonconformity; Mr. George Osborne Morgan, afterwards Sir George, a native of Conway whose career sheds lustre upon the ancient borough; Mr. John Roberts, of Liverpool, author of the Welsh Sunday Cloising Act and father of Sir J. Herbert (Roberts, who as the Member .for Wriest Denbighshire has rendered such noble services to Wales and, the Empire. These sincere lover of their country have coim- pleted thieir work amd passed away; but their bright and shining (examples still remain, a priceless heritage to all those who champion the grand old cause they loved so well.

Your Tariff Reform advocate, when gravel- led for an argument-and his quiver of argu- mentative shafts is remarkably empty--falls back upon sarcasm, and his tone is very sarcas- tic indeed when he alludes to the condition of the people under a system of so-called Free Trade." He cannot deny that, thanks to our so-called Free Trade," England is the richest country in the world. He cannot deny that, thanks to our 1, so-called Free Trade," we are the foremost commercial nation in the world. He cannot deny that, under our system of so-called Free Trade," our aggregate annual income is increas- ing by leaps and by bounds. He cannot deny that our workmen, thanks to so-called Free Trade," work shorter hours and under healthier conditions and for better pay than is the case in Germany, where they enjoy the blessings of the most scientific system of Protection ever de- vised. But there is one thing which your Tariff Reform advocate can say which is perfectly true With all our increasing wealth," he says, the fact remains that there exists a great deal of un- employment and poverty in this Free Trade country." Although, as Mr. John Burns pointed out in his Christmas Day speech, the re- turns of unemployment and pauperism compare very favourably with those of a year ago, there is still too much destitution in the land. But what is the reason ? The reason, as your sar- castic Tariff Reformer correctly states, is that we have a so-called system of Free Trade. What is needed is a real system of Free Trade. But your Tariff Reform advocate is careful not to say so, because he knows full well that when we have real Free Trade there will not remain a single shadow of a vestige of a remnant of the argument in favour of Protection. The wealthy landlords and their paid speakers condemn the Budget, because they see in it an attempt to give the country real Free Trade, instead of the so- called Free Trade which they pretend to ridi- cule. But it may reasonably be asked, if the coun- try is really better off under our present Free Trade system than it was under Protection, why is that there are so many people on the verge of starvation and actually below the poverty line ? Can any Free Trader deny that such a state of affairs exists ? No Free Trader can deny it, and it is not his business to deny it. On the con- trary he will tell you, not only that such things are, but also that the reason for it is, as the Tariff Reformer says, that we have only a system of so-called Free Trade." The increase in our commercial wealth is un- doubtedly due to the first instalment—for it is nothing more-of Free Trade which Cobden won for us but because the Free Trade system has not been fully developed we have the very poor as well as the very rich. Our national wealth is enormous and is growing yearly, and this is due to Free Trade but because that Free Trade sys- tem has not been fully applied the wealth is not fairly distributed. While we are as a nation in- calculably better off under even our present Free Trade system than could possibly be the case under Protection, it is still the case that the great proportion of the people do not enjoy their full share of the benefit. What is required is not only commercial Free Trade, which we have now, but also Free Trade in Land, which Mr. Lloyd George seeks to give us, but which the landlords are fighting against with all their might. When Cobden had secured for us commercial Free Trade, he publicly stated, at Rochdale, that his work had not been finished, and he called upon the younger men to fight for the same principle in reference to the land. If," he said, I were five-and-twenty or thirty, instead of, unhappily twice that number of years, I would have a League for Free Trade in Land, just as we had a League for Free Trade in Corn.. The men who do that will have done for England probably more than we have been able to do by making Free Trade in corn." Mr. Lloyd George has endeavoured to carry out Cobden's wise ad- vice, and that is what all the bother is about. Because we have not completed the work com- menced by Cobden, an immense population of wage-earners are kept in a state of slavery. Im- mense tracts of land, which would employ a very large amount of labour, are locked up, and the men who ought to be employed upon it are walk- ing the streets. How is wealth produced ? By the application of Labour to Land. Land by itself has no value. Value arises only from hu- man labour. It is not until the ownership of land becomes equivalent to the ownership of labourers that any value attaches to it. And where land has a speculative value, it is because of the ex- pectation that the growth of society will in future make its ownership equivalent to the ownership of labourers. It is true that all valuable things have the quality of enabling their owner to obtain labour or the produce of labour in return for them or for their use. But with things that are themselves the produce of labour such transactions involve an exchange- the giving of an equivalent of labour-produce in return for labour or its produce. Land, however, is not the produce of labour it existed before man was, and, therefore, when the ownership of land can command labour or the products of labour, the transaction, though in form it may be an exchange, is in reality an appropriation. The value of such things as grain, cattle, ships, houses, goods, or metals, is a value of exchange, based upon the cost of production, and there- fore tends to diminish' as the progress of society less ns the amount of labour necessary to pro- duce such things. But the value of land is a value of appropriation, based upon the amount that can be appropriated, and therefore tends to increase as the progress of society increases pro- duction. Thus it is, as we see, that while all sorts of products steadily fall in value, the value of land steadily rises. Inventions and discov- eries that increase the productive power of labour lessen the value of the things that re- quire labour for their production, but increase the value of land, since they increase the amount that labour can be compelled to give for its use4 And so, where land is fully appropriated as pri- vate property no increase in the production of wealth, no economy in its use, can give the mere labourer more than the wages of the slave. If wealth rained down from heaven or welled up from the depths of the earth it could not enrich the labourer. It would merely increase the value of land. Come with me," said Richard Cobden, as John Bright turned heart-stricken from a new made grave. There are in England women and children dying with hunger-with hunger made by the laws. Come with me, and we will not rest until we repeal those laws." In this spirit the Free Trade movement waxed and grew, arousing an enthusiasm that no mere fiscal reform could have aroused. And entrenched though it was by restricted suffrage and rotten boroughs and aristocratic privilege, Protection was over- thrown in Great Britain. And-there is hunger in Great Britain still, and women and children yet die of it. But this is not the failure of Free Trade. When Protection had been abolished and a revenue tariff substituted for a pro- tective tariff, Free Trade had only won an out- post. That women and children still die of hunger in Great Britain arises from the failure of the reformers to go on. Free Trade has not yet been tried in Great Britain. Free Trade in its fullness and entirety would indeed abolish hunger. Mr. Lloyd George seeks to abolish hunger by, among other ways, levying a tax upon the increase in the value of land which arises, not from the efforts or expenditure of the owner, but from the enterprise of the community but the landlords fight against it because it will divert a little of the wealth from their pockets to the pockets of the poor.
