There must be an End.

That being the tap-root of the thing, went [unclear: on] Mr. Withy, this monopoly must be ended. There was nothing else but ending it. He [unclear: had] shown how all that had been done had [unclear: mply] skimmed the surface, or to alter the [unclear: simliw], had simply trimmed the branches. It bad not satisfied the requirements. The only thing was to end the monopoly. In reference to this value which accrued, some portion of it was stationary, but there were others that grew constantly. He had shown how within sixty years this value, measured by figures, had grown from £13,000,000 to £76,000,000. Taking the ground rent at 4 per cent, on the capital value, it had grown from £520,000 a year to £3,040,000 a year. Of this £3,040,000 a year the country simply got back the land tax, £350,000 a year. He asked his hearers to notice in regard to this question of growth, it was the same land, the same amount of land, the same climate all the time. It was the same industrious race that had cultivated the land and used it. Whence came the growth? The difference simply lay in the increased numbers of the industrious race. Now all these discrepancies as between wealth and poverty, as between the position of those who lived upon money obtained for no services rendered, and the position of those who toiled hard for what they got, was also cumulatively increasing and that was the reason win this thing must be ended. Now anything which was forced on by a cumulative increase must some day arrive at bursting-pressure. A pressure that did not increase might go on for ages, but a cumulalative pressure must eventually end; an explosion must finally take place to relieve it.
