They do not encourage immigration be-

The True Doctrine.

BY ..land"-as used by Henry George
and political economists generally-is
meant unimpreved land, the
unimproved resources of nature which
were created by no man, but which are of
right the common heritage of the race.
This is the ..1and" in which Henry
George, Herbert Spencer, and others
deny the right of private property. The
value to land which is added by labor is
of right. the private property of him who
creates it, and Of this right Henry
George is one of the strongest defenders
and. this improved value created by
labor he would exempt from taxation
wholly, putting the whole burden on the
unimproved or ground rent values. In
other words, he who holds a.;special
privilege in the resources, of nature,
should pay in taxes to the. government,
as the trustees of the community, fair
price for this special privilege. Grand
Rapids, Mich, Workman.

What One Cent Did.

This transaction serves to illustrate
how small is the actual amount Of
money needed to adjust balances: "The
office boy owed one of the clerks 8
cents. The clerk owed, the cashier Q
cents. The cashier owed the boy 9
cents. One day the boy having cent
in his pocket, was disposed to diminish
!. his outstanding Indebtedness, and paid
the clerk to whom he was indebted
3 cents, l cent on account. The clerk,
animated by $50 laudable an example,
paid cent to the cashier. to whom he
was indebted cent. The cashier, who
owed the hoy 2 cents, paid him one.
And now the boy, having again his cent
in hand, paid another third of his debt
to the clerk. The clerk, with the said
ready current cent, squared with the
cashier. The cashier Immediately paid
the boy in full. And now the lad, with
the cent again in his hand, paid off the
third and last installment of his debt of
3 cents. Thus were t! @ parties square
all round, and their acc ants adjusted.

sMo1n1ight and Botany,


! q There is no study which demands a
greater amount:of the time and, atten-
fion of those VINO ate even slightly in.
terested in it than botany; and certainly
there is no branch of acknowledge which
more quickly repays it's students for
their labor and perseverance,.
: A French botanist, Al. Musset, has
lately: spent much time and made many
experiments to discoverwhether moon.
light affects plant growths in tile same
manner in which sunlight does.
The power of the sun to attract many
plants to such a degree that they are
noticeabIy changed as to the direction
in which they face, or the angle at
which their stalks stand, is known to
every one. He has experimental with
many different varieties of plants,
among them peoples, geums, and the
lychnis, or Ragged Robin" as it is
more commonly called, his experiments
being made at the time of q full
moon.
The plants were arranged in such q
way that sticks marking accurately the
angle at which each plant stood, were
securely placed at the time Of the
moons rising, and new sticks were ar
ranged at different times during the
night.
The experiments lately made by M.
Mnsset proved beyond doubt the intiu-
ence of moonlight upon the movements
at least of certain plants.
