Whosoever furnishes the priv- ilege should receive the rent. In- terest is the earnings of capital, resulting from the ability to use the active (growing) forces of nature in -si0emss-. further production. A man exchangca himself.- his capital -wheat, for a calf -also capital. By turning the calf out upon land a very little labor secures a large return. If he had exchanged his .wheat for a, wagon his capital would be consumed in use. It is just that he should receive interest for the use of his . wagon because he Could exchange it for that forni of capital which would increase in time through the active forces of nature. Wages is that portion of his pro- duct which the laborer receives. \The natural wages of r the laborer is the product of his labor. Less than this it is a sin that. he should be compelled to accept. ' ' Both land values and necessary public expenses are caused by popu- lation; both rise or fall as population increases or decreases. Apparent ex- ceptions are not exceptions. Where a piece of land was sold for so much that, although population has greatly increased since, it will sell for no more now, the price paid was based upon an expected -not a then present -pop- ulation. This is a speculative value caused by access to land being limit- ed by monopoly. Where thereis but a small settle- ment there are few public wants to be supplied and there is but little land value, because of slight compe- tition for its use. As tue settlement grows KO do the war_tg of the com- munity and the demand for the use of laud.

No man made the laud. It is the original inheritance of the species. Its appropriation is wholly a question of general expediency. When/private property in land is not expedient, it is unjust.
