Americans have more to fear from landlord parasites, than mythical reds under the beds

"The landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for the natural produce of the earth." - (Adam Smith, op. cit., Vol. I, p. 44.)

You can’t say that about goods that are created through hard work, or skill.
That’s the point Adam Smith was making when he said ‘reap what they have never sowed’

Still doesn’t address the point about moral claims to goods that are created rather than merely possessed

I think landlorld means literally the owner of land in this quote, unless you believe that all properties people rent are created by Nature.
And it is, full quote:
As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce. The wood of the forest, the grass of the field, and all the natural fruits of the earth, which, when land was in common, cost the labourer only the trouble of gathering them, come, even to him, to have an additional price fixed upon them. He must then pay for the licence to gather them; and must give up to the landlord a portion of what his labour either collects or produces. This portion, or, what comes to the same thing, the price of this portion, constitutes the rent of land, and in the price of the greater part of commodities makes a third component part.

And it doesn't apply to landlords who rent out houses or apartments, for example.

Adam Smith wasn’t referring only to literal fruits of the earth

You cold claim it with your out of context quote, sorry for breaking your shilling routine. Next time try with something less googlable.
