WEDNESDAY MORNING, THE PITTSBURG POST. AUGUST 14, 1833. COTTOLEXE. t'OTTOLESE. BUT DOES NOT UNCERTAIN ABOUT THE HIGH SCHOOL such a view, and that there was nothing to prove or weigh.

It seems to me, and I believe 16 will seem to some of you all, and to Brother Weimar, when you consider it, that he is at present in no condition to teach others respecting matters of which he is himself la doubt not yet decided. I advise, therefore, that anv annointments WHISKY TRUST VICTORY. Reorganization Committee May Go Abend Wttli Its Plana. NEW YORK, Aug. 13.

Justice O'Brien, in supreme court chambers thi3 morning, denied the motion for an injunction to restrain the reorganization committee of the Distilling an Cattle Feeding company from purchasing or acquiring the property of the trust, which was advertised to be sold to-morrow. The motion for an injunction was brought by Frederick W. Anness and George N. Pynchon, who represent $15,000 worth of the stock in the trust. They contended that the purchase by the reorganization committee would perpetuate the trust, which had been declared an Illegal monopoly, by the supreme court of the state of Illinois.

Justice O'Brien held It was not his place to determine whether the trust was to be rehabilitated, but if it should be, ths courts would; intervene again. The plaintiffs will make further efforts to enjoin the committee. This ness not more like Store's August busi- making any money losing's it, but we expect that we're emptying the shelves making it pay people to take the goods out of our way.

ACTS ABOUT REV. MR. WEIMAR. There is a possibility that the debate between C. T.

Russell, the Allegheny religious reformer, and Dr. Cyrus R. Teed, Chicago, for which Teed is anxious, may (Occur. The possibility is remote, but still It exists, a3 Mr. Russell says in substance that he will consent to "show up" the hol-owness of TeeJ's doctrines if It appears that he can do any good thereby.

In a statement prepared by hSm for "The 4061, he says: "it is true that J. A. Weimar has been worklnff In the office of "Zion's Watch frower" a3 a compositor for some years; yworking- piecework, at 40 cents per and averaging- about $14 per week, and I learn that it is true that Mr. Teed has offered tim $18 per week of 38 hours. It is true, also, that I had a far better opinion of his education, his reasoning (acuities and his heart than to suppose that he would have the slightest interest la the vagaries and absurdities of Koresh-anity.

"It is true, also, that for some time Mr. Weimar has been holding some meetings in some nearby towns along lines which I believe to be biblical. But it is not true that he was either appointed or paid for such service. His car-tare only was supplied from a volunteer fund to- which he with others contributed. "From this it will be seen that The Past was misinformed by the Koreshans when told that I had given Mr.

Weimar the 'option of ceasing his investigation of Koreshanity or "leaving the service In which he was employed as a speaker for several out-of-town congregations." for he was neither paid nor employed, and was in no eense in my service, but voluntarily in the Lord's service. Nor has there been one unkind word between us. nor one trord with reference ta his Job a a compositor. He, however, settled that by failing to report for work on Monday. i Weimar Saw the Letter.

"As for the prlnted matter attacking 'eed most bitterly; about which" Teed anted his people "not to be angry if hey were "persecuted, it was a 'type- ritten letter, a copy of which was hand- to Mr. Weimar more than a week be- orei it was aent, that he might know ex ctly what we counseled the friends to respecting his preaching: and I re- juested Mr. Weimar to Indicate any items ot considered true, or for anv reason ob jectionable to him. In this letter I assume no control over eel, Weimar or th gatherings of God's pie. The most offered is reasonable ttdvice.

and that in kind and courteous language. It is reported that I declined to dis cuss differences with Mr. Teed, but this Is not the case; for I have never been approached on the subject. I surmise. hawever.

that no good couli be accomplished for. Teed, nor for any so blinded as to consider him greater than Christ. But should it ever become evident to me that aay of tie Lcri's true sheep need I shall not to show up the 23-j-srre55 ct the blar-hemous claims cf "Thj reverter was misinformed respecting my having Rev. Mr. Leak and other ministers.

I told him that I S.c;rred that the invitation to discuss itjt came from Mr. Leak, as he i-s the attacking party; and it i3 true that i offered him for his trouble if he ehouli bring about the discussion; believing1 that more than that value of good would be accomplished by calling attention, to the real teachings of the bible. Was Mot a. CUallenpe.

"The other occasion upon which I am said to have challenged all the ministers of the city was In 1SS2. A pamphlet which II published, entitled 'Food for Thinking Christians Why Evil Was Permitted," which had a circulation of over a million copies, was criticised by the IT. P. ministers at their general meeting, some defending and cther3 condemning. I price hvrote, not a 'challenge, but a very polite card, published by several Pittsburg pa pers, in which I stated my conviction that khe pamphlet is scriptural, and requesting that the U.

P. ministers, or any others recognized by the Evangelical Alliance fchould publicly show to me, and to others, If tt3 teachings are in any part unscrip-kufal; and assuring them if they could phiow this I woull not only cease ta pub is? them, but would join ta trying to counteract the effect of those already circulation. But nona of the gentlemen addressed responded; a fact which wa3 commented upon by the press at the time." Mr. Russell furnished "The Post" a copy )f the circular he had sent to his friends. In it he quotes soma of Teed's doctrines is being all the proof that anybody needs Lhat his teachings are false.

Of them he ays: "These blasphemous claims are all the proofs that I need that the entire theory Is of the devil. I care not for the leger-lemain of sophistry by which they were and by which they claim to prove God's word a lie. It is sufficient me that this is the faith and teaching of Koreshans, who receive it from Koresh, Ahom they call The and before whom they bow." Some Mild Sarcasm. After showing at some length how Teed's claims are opposed to the whole theory of the bible, the letter says: "On the one hand we have all the ex-leeding great and precious promises of -lod'si word and our Christian experiences md growth in grace and knowledge for nany years, and our realization of our lord's presence, and feasting with Him the thing3 new and old which He ias furnished to Hi3 household during the as.t few years of His presence.

To the Editor of The Post: There are many people In every Christian community who study the bible, attend bible class and listen to the preaching of the word, and yet uphold a law that allows stealing; who would not cheat the individual man, but would not hesitate to cheat a community of individuals (government).

They know that the individual has no right to steal, and they ought to know that they cannot delegate a right to government they have not got. Now, community produces ground rent. Community1 is the producer of land values. Then the community should get these values, or there is stealing going on. This is not a deep question and difficult to solve, but, on the contrary, mar-velously simple.

It is curious that so many devout Christians do not what Christian economics are. The reason is not far to seek. If the faculties of our colleg-es and seminaries would teach such a glorious truth they would be discharged in a week, because it would abolish the steal, from which steal comes endowments. Now, in order to hold their positions the teachers do not teach Christian economics. They do not investigate for themselves as a class, but teach what is prepared for them.

In economics many fall Into the following way of thinking: The late Rev. David Swing said in the fall of 1892. during that campaign, that "free trade" was right, but we did not start that way in framing our government, but started with protection a tariff, and as great estates have grown up, it was better to go on than turn back. With many besides himself that was a clincher. Let us see how easily the Chicago Single Tax Question club draws such a clinch by paraphrasing David's talk: "Freedom is right, but we did not start that way.

We started with negro slavery. Great estates have been built up, and it is better to go on than turn back." We who believe the nesro always had a right to own himself; that he was always stolen property, and had a right to run off, think David's clinch is easily drawn. And just so with ground rent. It was and is now stolen property. It is a product of the community, and the community always had a right to take it.

and is culpable to-day for not taking- it. But we Christians ere mostly fools for promoting a law taafe allows" a few to steal it. We have our preaching of the Wori. Susday schools, charity societies, but scarcely a word said for Christian economic. Xai the reason is, it would abolish, landlordism, and that is where the big donations cf money, organs and ether things corns from to placate our teachers.

Now. the people, or, rather, politicians, are trying to frit away the tima ia quarreling over the money question. The money question is rlrnp'e, just like Cse land question. I have wealth. Say it is in hogs, cattle and grain.

I Issue a bill which reads: "I promise on demand to pay $-0 i.i wealth. C. B. Power." No go-ernment can a sounder $20 bill, because I have the wealth to redeem it. Tou eee I meet the natural law of money, and it is therefore scientific money.

Now, if I Issued more money than I had wealth to redeem on demand, it would be a fraud, and not fcier.titic money. Just so with the government. If it issued more than it could make the subjects (the people) redeem on demani it would be a fraud and cot scientifto money not "sound money." Also it is common to stamp money on tha cheapest thing you can get, which is convenient to handle. That is paper. It is common sense to base money on labor (say one hour's common labor to be a doliar).

That base does not fluctuate. Tour gold base fluctuates. Just with silver, copper or any commodity. Making money out of gold, silver, copper, simply helps to raise the value cf the gold, silver and copper mines, and the owners steal the benefit by pocketing land rent. (The rent of these mines is lani rent the same as any other kind of land.

Economists define the term land, "Anything in nature outside of Now, sir, it is not the function of public government to cause the rise in anyone's property. That is giving "special privilege," which is always stealing. Uut it is a function (and the only one) to keep a free field. In order to do that tha government must manipulate all monopoly. The only monopoly that you can have (outside of your imagination) is natural opportunities land.

If each person had their equal right to land there could be no monopoly in labor products wheat, corn, cattle, factories, houses, professions, etc. You see, no one would want to hold land idle when its value (irrespective of improvements on It) was put into the public treasury. Under such conditions only fools would try to corner labor products. The application of Christian economics is simple. Just take the tax off of professions, trades, merchants, farm improvements, factories, dwellings, stock or stocks, and in lieu of these take land values.

Then tiie burden of taxation Is taken off the farmer, mechanic, professional, or common labor. One bare acre in Pittsburg would pay as much into the public treasury as 600 farms of 200 acres each, worth J50 per acre, irrespective of improvements on them, because some of the acres in Pittsburg, irrespective of the improvements on them, rent for $300,000 per year. That is 3 per cent of $6,000,000. The value of some of Pittsburg's single acres is as great an estate as all of these valuable farms. A 200 acres farm at $50 per acre without the improvements is our most valuable form land.

Put to this public fund the rovalties (rent) of coal, ore, copper, gold and silver mines, the stumpage of timber lands, and we have an enormous public revenue that does not cost anyone any mental or physical labor, as it is the price of monopoly, and is an unearned increment. It is the greatest economy for all the people to put this rent into the public crib, because it stops" individuals from holding land idle. C. B. POWER.

Contract Does Tint Call for Completion I ntll January 1. WILL BE READY WHEX WATTED. The new Central high echoool building will be completed on time, but a public misapprehension as to the time, it w-as learned yesterday, has caused some uneasiness on the part of parents. A story was set afloat that the building would not be completed in the time specified by the contract, which has been the occasion of solicitude on the part of many citizens who have been calculating to send their children there during the coming winter. A call by a "Post" reporter at the Central board of education yesterday elicited the comfort that no alarm was felt in those circles, which was auspicious, as there everybody was supposed to be in close touch with anything progressing or not progressing at the new building.

"The supposition that the building Is "to be completed by the time the schools open on September said one of the gentlemen connected with the office, "is erroneous. The contract does not require the building to be completed until January 1 next. Some time will then needed to put in the furniture and attend to other details, so that at best the building cannot be occupied until late in the winter. The fact is, it may not be used at all this year. "The Central board has rented six rooms in the Franklin building, for the ue of the high school, three rooms in the North district, one it the Forbes building, and it uses eight rooms in the Miller street building, which it owns.

The board might not consider it wise to disturb these schools late in the yenr, for to move them ail inco the new building would seriously break In upon their work, which makes it possible that the schools may be continued in the rented rooms until the close of the coming school year. In that event the new building would not be occupied until September, 1S.96. Of course, all this is supposition. The committee which will decide upon the matter has- as yet taken no action, but there 13 no ground for the report that the building would not completed by the time it will be wanted." The reporter next visited the building itself. The foreman aecHned to talk, saying too much miking ha! been done already.

However, a general ebservation showed that the building was well under way. Ths wails are nearly completed. T'asre was soma delay in this work, because several of the last kilns of brick burned for the building were found to be too dark, in contrast with those already the walls, that they could not be usel. and work had to be itopped until nsw kilns could be burned. Delay was occasioned also by the failure of the Carnegie people to furnish the iron work for the roof anl the interior.

The worst, however, is over. A gang if men is busy now putting in place the iron for the roof, and the Iron for the stairways, end fur other uses in the interior is now arriving. The red tiles for the roof are also piled up in the yard, and near them lie the stone trimmings availing the coming of the now burning brick. All the brick under-flooring ha; been laid. The rooms on the three floors have been- partitioned off and plastered, while on the firt floor the plastering has been covered with a hard white coating.

AH the window frames are in. The. bolier3 are In place in the cellar. Plumbers are at work all through the building. The speaking tubes are in.

The marble to be used on the sides and ceiling of the entrances, and the lower hall wainscoting, is piled up handy and ready for ue. After the roof la on, the few remaining brick laid, and the woolen floors put down, of which is not so much of a job, there remains nothing but the finishing touches. The number of men now employed is S3. If thes are continued at work there would seem to be no reason why the building should not be completed within the contract time. An employe said work would soon progress much faster, both because the material would soon be on hand and because the months cf September end October were the be.

building months In the year. He said work on a number of In Pittsburg had been delayed because the Inability of the contractors to secure the necessary material. Asked why the manufacturers could not furnish the material, he eaid that the sudden revival of business had brought them more orders than they could at once fill. HOW HE FOOLED THEM. Offered Commodities for Votes and Iluncoeil Everybody.

To the Editor of The Post: Some people seem to be greatly astonished at the facilities displayed by the G. O. P. of Beaver county in procuring votes. They seem to have forgotten that those people were educated under the eagle eye.

and velvet hand of the Little Corporal, the same ing that is now trying to reform the "Ilo Combine." They are creatures of his own handiwork. No wonder the "old gal" that holds the balances, shades her eyes after such a contest as has just been finished. Nine-tenths of the members of the G. O. P.

of western Pennsylvania are such for the loaves and fishes. They all expect to get a pull at the public teat before they shuffle off. The Lawrence county G. O. had a contest of this same kind abovit one year ago.

One of the parties concerned concluded to Import one of those educated gents from Beaver county to teach them the workings of the Beaver county system. He did both. This same expert offered whisky, flour, meat, groceries (or anything else usually kept in country stores), also saw logs, cement or ground lime for votes. Then he failed to deliver the goods either to his dupes, or his employer. Still worse, he shoved down in his own jeans some three or four thousand dollars of a hard earned $1,000 per annum salary.
