land. England has not yet passed the
point where regeneration Is impossible,
but she is fast coming to the point
where revolution aud reform are inev-
liable. Her people are wakening--and
public opinion is even q greater power
there than it is in our boasted republic;
while circumstances are educating the
public mind there as it cannot be edu-
Gated here. "1,. CO.. is not reader
of Reynolds's Newspaper, the London
Radical, or any of the many other
British publications that are as out
spokenly democratic as any journal

pamphlet that every American, evsry
Englishman, every IrishnsA every
philanthropist, should read" The
Irish Land Question" by an American
author, Henry George. M n s.s,

fore we waste over-much sympathy on
Ireland-though Heaven knows she
needs world Of it, or q little educat-
ing in common-sanse political. economy

first in which any attempt was made
to ascertain the price that labor has to
pay to get at the soil in "the land Of
the free and the home of the brave.n
The returns have not yet been COM
pletely tabulated, but enough is known
to show that one-half of our farms pay
usury in the name of interest and one
third in that of rent. OF the farms
mortgaged few pay rent, but are set
down as being titled by their owners
while of the farms not mortgaged
very large proportion are rented.
Millions of foreign capital is invested
in land here. and the profits on the in
vestments 60 abroad just as the rents
of Irish estates go to absentee land
lords. Examine this Irish question,
as every one should, and we find that
it is an English question, an American
question, question Of humanity. II
there is no hope for ireland, none for
England, none for US. Our business is
to pluck the beam out of our own eye
before we take out the mote that Is in
our brothers.. The remedies are few !,
and simple. yet sweeping. We must
abolish all usury by refusing to enforce
private contracts at law; and we must
abolish all taxation except that upon
land values. VIC.

The Baltimore Plan.

A Baltimore capitalist one day went
down into Virginia to collect the inter-
est on a $500 bond which town had
voted to build bridge. The bond
was five years old, and no interest had
ever been paid. Seeking an interview
with the village president, he made
known his errand, but the official sad
ly shook his head, and replied:
"a freshet carried off the bridge the
same year it was built"
"But the bond stands good for all
that ?"
Eyes, suppose so, but we have no
money on band"
Cant you pay this from some other
fund.-" asas. a
1--WE haven't a cent In any fund.-"
"Can't sell the bond to some one
here 2"
" Nobody Is got anything to buy
with"
For the next four hours the man
with the bond was very busy. He at
tached the old hand fire-engine, gar
nisheed three or four of the taxpayers,
locked up the village graveyard, at
fached the safe in the clerk e Office,
and when the sun went down he had
arranged for SO many injunctions that
40 one dared stir abroad. The sun
was hardly up next day before his in
'erest was ready, and In less than an
hour citizen purchased the bond at !
discount, explaining:

There were several men clustered
around the stove in the back room Of
a Galveston saloon, and some how or
other the subject Of newspapers came
up for discussion. One man said that
editors we're more jealous Of each

never had a good word for each

Presently he saw Jess riding in great haste

Aud on he went. Bill ran to the house
and told his wife. She gathered up the chill

he found the family and two neighbors in
the large kitchen, Uncle Soll-bu.ied TO the
