Some of our members have promised that however much property a inau may have he shall only have one vote. He must be on the same footing as the man with the carpet bag, and with him who lounges at the publictiouse ready to sell his vote to anyone for 10j. We must not carry these Liberal measures too far, for if wo do the capitalist, who is a very shy bird, will make use of his wings and fly away with his capital to a more secure country, where the people are too honest to trust suoh men as Vogel and Stout. lam one of those who think that it requires both capital and labour to make it a great country. We shall not get the former if we allow Communistic principles to be in the ascendant.l am, etc., Alb in Martin. October 3,1887.
