to; your correspondent R.D., let' : ffie'Vexplain: : that;.l wrote is i Socialist and criticised the Liberal Government from the standpoint of Socialism. Whatever is progressive in Liberalism 1 support, but when •it is a' misnomer, and > pool of stagnation, I repeat' again I would,rather see a Tory Government roturned to power: than that Liberalism should lock up tho land instead of allowing the people to'purchase.the freehold. There are other"ways of governing a:country without borrowing and. increasing the national debt Some things ought to be under the control of the State,- such -as the liquor traffic upon compensation to tho trade,.'but the .land ■is tho birth-right of the., individual,' and, within reasonable limits, should bo. under his own personal' control.', Thus extremes, meet;' but as I am hoping you'will, also kindly publish mv lotter on tho "Fusion of Party Politics," I must not make .this -lotter 1 , too: long. Thanking,.you,—l.am,, etc., . •-••.,,.' ' -t.' ;.-' i.-vV.-J. Vb'. ; : BARNES.,'.'.'
