Watterson ON George.

Watterson wiggles wonderfully when
he tries to stop himself on the halfway
ground Of tariff for revenue. Every
argument against the tariff is against
it in toto. Horace Greeley was logical
when he asserted that between protec-
tion and free trade there was no ten
able ground. 1t is astounding when
one realizes the amount of poIlywog
that men with something of reputa-
ton as writers impose upon the
thoughtless masses; but Henry Wat
terson will have his labor for his pay
when he attempts, after quoting Henry
George so copiously and approvingly,
to prevent his readers from coming to
Georges common-sense conclusions.
The unearned increment, as econom-
lists call the value that attaches to land
by reason of the growth of population,
is fund sufficient for all public pur-
poses, and to deny the public the right
to it is to deny the right of property;

Supreme Judge.

The Kansas City Times OF last Sum
day, in commenting on the qualifica-
tions of the various candidates for the
Democratic nomination for supreme
judge, makes the following complf-
mentary but entirely just remarks con-
cerniDg the eminent abilities and fitness
of Judge G. d. Burgess for this place.
His splendid ability as lawyer was.
confined not alone to northwest Mis-
souri,, his geographical section, but was
co-extensive with the state. He SEEM
ed to be born to the law, to absorb it,
to read it as he ran, to gather it in and
utilize it at single glance. When
made a circuit judge, his decisions were
marvels of lucidity, brevity and light.
We, who have known Judge Bur-
CESS for years. first, when practitioner
and since for fourteen years while on
the bench, fully appreciate his rare
ability as jurist, one to whom no task
is done until the law of the case is not
only given but also the reason for the
law. We also know and appreciate
his impartiality and unswerving hon.
esty in his decisions and rulings on the
bench and for these reasons most
heartily with all the people of his cir
cult, agree with the Times in its esti-
mate of his ability.
Judge burgess lS IN the very prime
and vigor of life both physical and in
tellectual and with ten years labor on
the bench his ability will be SO fully
established that his second term will
be accorded him without dissenting
voice and the state will have the bene-
fit of the service of an able, upright
and impartial jurist for twenty years,
who will do much toward correctly
solving all the vexed question con-
stantly arising between citizens or the
citizen and the strong concentrations
of wealth that are being constantly
formed in this great state. With Bur
CESS nothing is present in his mind in
judicial determinations except what is
the. law, what is right, and when he
arrives at his conclusions he has at aiz
times and places the courage to declare
them though it may sustain the weak
est and humblest citizen against the
most wealthy and influential. - Bruins

was? How bright the sun shone and
how warm the air aud how sweet the
little birds sang. AS I sat in my rock

little birds flying through the air and
through the treetops, it carried me back
to my childhood days at my old home.
How joyful it made feel when some

/ yet the whole teaching of George, with
reference to land and taxation, is that
i the unearned increment should go into
the public treasury and not into private
pockets, as it now does. Why it will
require bloody revolution to accom-
plish>an object that common sense and
common justice plainly require. is be-
yond the ken of all except those who
prefer human slavery to human Free
dom. That we shall have bloody rev.
o.utions-more than one-if we persist
in ignoring such reform, is absolutely
certain. Quisnay. Turgot, Mirabeau,
Condorcet and Dupont, the French
economists, to whose memories George
dedicates Protection and Free Trade. -
taught the doctrine of the single tax or
inapost unique as remedy for the
evils that produced the Reign Of Terror.
Had their teaching been needed, the
French revolution, with its sickening
horrors, would never have occurred.
and, If we would avoid a similar mis-.
fortune, we cannot too quickly correct
this fundamental error and make gov
ernment something better than legal
lied robbery. Watterson then calls
Carlisle to his aid in trying to throw
the oduim of socialism aud communism
upon George. The reader would do
well, before forming an opinion, to read
chapter xviii. of Protection and Free
Trade" devoted to socialism, and es-
pecially that paragraph which closes
with the assertion that "Society ought
not to leave the telegraph and railway
to the management and control of ipdf-
viduals; nor yet ought society to step
in and collect individual debts or at
tempt to direct individual industry.n
The tariff is most arrant soclalistic
attempt to control and direct individu-
al industry as a system of protection.
and as system of taxation it is one of
the worst, IN every way. that could be
devised. Among economical writer's
none have so well pointed out the
sphere of individual action or so well
defined the limits of social life or the
functions of government as Henry
George Henry Watterson would do
we'll to read that long chapter in late
number of the Harvard Law ReView,
devoted to criticism of the single tax,
before he again attempts to criticise, or
even to misrepresent, the teachings of
George.
These questions of political economy.
though discussed through centuries,
can be settled as certainly and clearly
as problem in mathematics, and the
ordinary man, with little or no educa-
ton, can thoroughly understand them,
if proper thought be given. Nor can
we leave such knowledge to specialists,
like knowledge of astronomy, of bot
any, zoology or physics; but we must
have the masses of men understand
the science of political economy If the
masses desire to be free. Hitherto we
have left such knowledge to the few,
and for that very reason government
has resulted in the greatest good to tho
few. It must be apparent to those
who observe at all, that q republic or
form of government has
an inherent weakness IN 1t that will
compel US to more nearly approximate
a pure democracy, and a democracy
can only fail where the fundamental
principles of government are not gen.
orally understood. FARMER.
