CORPORATION TAXES.

The fact that corporations escape
taxation to large extent is too notori-
GUS to be disputed; but the exact weight
of public burdens which they ought to
carry. yet manage in some way to shift
upon the shoulders of other people, was
never ascertaincd. We knew, for in
stance, that by false swearing of the
talest sort VIM. IL. Vanderbilt paid
taxes on 100000 only, instead of one
hundred million dollars or more We
cannot doubt that under the manage
meut of "Worker" Depew and Spider"
Webb the New York Central is as free
rs ever from the burden of taxation;
and as Jay Gould and other corporation
kings are in no respect the intellectual
interiors of the Nanderblts, we may
take it for granted that they all insist
upon paying taxes in the same proper
ton. Thanks to their adroitness the
single tax theory is actually put into
practice by the assessors, who, for some
reason of their own. believe with
George that it is justice to tax the small
farmer, or the man of moderate means
who happens to own his own home.
while eNempting the great capitalist.
The American people, with that cha
racteristic apathy which enables them to
submit to the grossest abuses, have sub
mltted to this as a matter of course and
their "watchfu" press has seldom if
ever referred to the subject. Public
attention, however, is likely to be ava
kened by di, ussion which lately took
place at a meeting of the Illinois State

The Struggle for Existence.

In answer to the questions put to me
by Mr., w, Golden in your last issue
beg to state:
GENERA and species are blended to-
gether by continuous imperceptible grad
atoms only with the lower organic be-
ing5, while with the higher ones, in
which the separation of sexes has taken
place, genera and species are distn-
guished by marked boundaries. The
most important character in this regard
is the fact that the sexual connection
of two individuals procreates fertile or
a barren offspring or no offspring at all I.

THE SlNGLE-TAX FRAUD IN
CALIFORNIA.

In reply to letter from Judge Mcguire
of San Francisco, published in Henry
Georges Standard and claiming that
the ''single tax cause is progressing on
the Pacific coast, the Weekly Nationalist
observes:
The only single tax club in San Fran
cisco was never more than a COterie of
followers of James q. Mcguire. Of
itself it never had any weight; its con-
nections with Irving Hall made it always
an enthusiastic ally of Henry Georges
union with the Democratic party policy.
In Portland, Or, there used to be club,
of which II. II. Thomson, wealthy
speculator, who ran for Sheriff on the
Democratic ticket, was president. If the
audience amounted to dozen it was a
red letter day in the annals of the club.
In Seattle and Tacoma, San Diego, Sacra.
ment0 and Oakland, there never have
been clubs, so far at least rs ordinary
reformers have been able to discover.
Now these are all the principal towns of
the Pacific Coast, outside of this place.
Here desperate effort was made to get
up a club shortly before Mr.. Georges
visit, and when Mr.. George asked from
the platform where and when the club
met there was ominOus silence. If the
Single-Tax movement is now TO the front
it must have made desperate squirt.
Bat it is too old for spurts.
The Weekly Nationalist furthermore
observes that all the recent dissensions
in the Nationalist ranks have been the
work of Single Takers who were foolish
ly welcomed with open arms TO their
councils. We quote:
The hospitality was Immediately re-
turned by the commencement of a series
of scurrilouS attacks in the Single Tax
organ. the Weekly Star, upon the few
earnest members and most of the old
time Socialists" who. to quote Judge
Maguire's own words, "are doing what
they can to keep Nationalism before the

A glance at our books shows the de-
plorabIe fact that many Of our agents
scribers and agents are certainly aware
by tins time Of the financial condition
of the WORKMEN's ADVOCATE. After
reading the various reports published in
this paper, and also the circulars sent
out at various times, they can no longer
be excused for not promptly renting
the amount Of their debts, The EXecu-
tive Committee of the party has done
its duty; let the subscribers and agents
do theirs. These considerable debts
hold us back in our financial affairs and
we earnestly request our subscribers to
keep this fact in mind and not fail to
send to the Business Manager of our
party organs the full amount to which
they are indebted. We hope that this
appeal may meet with success.

TAKE NOTICE.
Brooklyn, Sept. 7, 1890.

For the information of those who
wonder it may be stated here that the
presence of the American Section of the
S. l.. T. in the Central Labor Federation
means the abolition Of political "scab-
berry" in the labor movement.
TO the misleaders Of trades-unions, to
the conservative bOodlers, to the knaves
who for years have dwarfed, side
tracked, polluted and di>graced this
movement, the admission of Organized
Socialism to the councils Of Organized
Labor was severe blow. To the men
who see and think, who are tired of in
trigue and rascality, 1t was welcome
news and fit response Of America to
the progressive aspirations of the labor
ing masses in England, i'll Germany, in
France, in the whole civilized world.
The American Section is in and il has
come to stay make a note Of it.

surfing Mr. Broadhurst's parliamentary
committee for failing to submit to Par
lament an eight.hour bill pursuant to
the instructions Of the previous Con.
gress As such an instruction had never
been given by the Congress, the motion
failed by large majority.
The main battle did not come until
the fourth day, when the question of
the eight-hours work.day was reached.
A large number Of delegates had been
instructed to urge a resolution demand.
ing the establishment Of the eight-hours
day by at of Parliament. Such a rcso-
luton was accordingly moved and dis
cussed in a vigorous and exhaustive
debate. Among its supporters were the
men of the "new trades uniOnism", John
Burns, Mann, Tillett and others. The
opposition was in charge of the old
and Shipton, and was conducted with
all the trickery, hypocrisy and brutality
that are the traditional tactics of ICON
servative" labor leaders, who fight for
their position and their marketable iu-
iluence. They were at last defeated;
their amendment to have the eight hours
law confined to a few industries was lost
and the original motion adopted by a
vote Of 1873 against ljj. With the ma
jority were the miners, the compositors
the engineers, the London Trades Coun
ell and all the large unions Of unskilied
| wOrkmen recently organized by Burns
and his Socialist friends. There can be
no doubt that these unskilIed workers
formed the greater portion Of the i'm
mense increase of membership repre-
scented at this Convention and that their
majority was in reality much larger
than the vote indicates.
That the majority was determined to
make Il clean sweep Of the old system
became apparent when the election of a
Secretary OF the Parliamentary Com
mtttpe was taken. Broadhurst, who
has held that position for twenty years,
was beaten, and Fcnwick, miners rep
resentative. was elected. One Of the
other members of the committee re,
signed, acknowledging that he did moi
represent tie position taken by the Con
gress. John Burns was elected in hi,
place.
This in itself is a revolution. 1t cannot
fail to exert a prodigous influence in
America, and it will Immediately b,
felt in this city, where the Central Labor
Federation has already placed itself il
the line of the new movement by admit
ting the American Section of the So
cialist Labor party.

SOCIALISM TRlUMPEiS IN ENG.
LAND,

The English Trades Union Congress
that met in Liverpool last week was the
largest convention of labor ever held in
England or any other country. 1t was
attended by 500 delegates representing
almost every trade and occupation and a
membership aggregating l, 500 coo, This
is nearly double the number of work
men represented in last years congress,
which was s5o,000.
The proceedings centered from the
beginning on the long foreseen struggle
between the Conservative and the So
cialist wings of the English labor move
ment. 1t was that issue and the prob.
able outcome of it which attracted the
attention of the press and the public in
such an unusual degree. The fight was
opened on the very first day of the Con-
vention, rather uncleverly, by radical

Board of Equalization, upon a resolution
offered by Judge Scott, calling for the
assessment Of real and personalproperty
at % per cent. Of its cash value.
In the course Of this discussion Judge
Scott declared that one quarter of the
taxable property Of Illinois escaped
taxation, and he estimated the amount
Of this quarter at one thousand million
dollars. In support of this statement he
cited the fact that in Cook county alone
money of others than banks, etc, was
assessed at tritle over one million,
while one bank in Chicago was known
to have deposits amounting to twenty
millions. another thirteen millions, etc.
Another member of the Board gave
some specific figures Of a startling ma.
ture. He called attention to the pros
pectus of the Union Stock Yards and
Transit Company, whose property last
year was assessed at about one million
dollars. The prospectus showed that
this company is paying $50 per cent
interest on $4,000 600 of bonds, per
cent on $6 800, 600 of common stock,
and 10 per cent. on 10, 800 600 Of prefer
red stock-or total property of twenty
the Pullman Palace Car Company, as
sessed last year at little over one mil
lion, but which has a capital stock of
twenty-five millions, quoted as being
worth 213, which shows a basis of actual
value of more than fifty million dollars
With paid up capital of $4,000, 900
the Spring Valley Coal Company-whose
miners We're SO heartIessly starved and
otherwise i'll treated some months ago
was assessed for its tangible property at
$4,000, and for its capital stock at
$3.50, 900. The Central Illinois Telephone
Company, the Chicago City Railway,
the Chicago West Division Railway and
other great corporations were similarly
assessed at ridiculous small figures.
To sum up, the following statement
conveys still clearer idea of the extent
to which the corporations of Illinois have
heretofore escaped taxation. Three
hundred corporations, with paid up
capital of ninety millions, were assessed
at less than five millions; and tlsa pro
perty of railroads inthe State, the real
value of which is five hundred millions
was assessed at seventy-three millions
Amy comment upon these figures
would be superhuous. They suggest
bribery and corruption on gigantic
scale, not only in Illinois but in every
State, and especially IN the State Of
New York, where the corporate power
has reached its highest degree of concen
tration and unscrupulousness.

rope But when, at the hight of its
power and expansion, the Caiphate-
!. e. the great Empire of the Arabians-
began to split into fragments in conse-
quence of dissensions and revolts arising
from the social contrast of rich and
poor, their care for sciences and arts
commenced to decline, too, and has
continued to decline ever since, so that
they did not cooperate in the building

Concerning an Association of ApOthe-
carries Clerks.

The gospel of unremitting toll has
been and is preached hour by hour; but
is it not time to preach the gospel of
relaxation at least to drug clerks?
In this and its surrounding cities they
are working thirteen and fourteen hours
a day, and in many instances from seven
in the morning until eleven o'clock at
night, including parts Of Sundays.
Everywhere they work from four to
seUen hours each day longer than mechan.
les, and their hours of labor are longer
than those of any other class of toiers.
Well, why is this so?
1t is because the employers are trying
to cater to the whims of public which
does not think and ofttimes does not
care how many hours they compel others
to labor, 50 long as it is gratifed, and
because of the non union of the clerks,
which renders them pOaerless to I. sist
abuses
The eight, nine and ten hour systems
Of mechanics and other tradesmen have
all been gained only through their union
and cooperation and could not have
been gained any other way.
Now, it seems equally certain that if
drug clerks really care to shorten their
hours Of labor or better their contitiun
as wage earners, it can only be done by
like association and cooperation. It
seems little odd that there las been no
such union when it is almost certain
there can be no loss in the aggregate to
proprietors by closing all stores earlier
while it is positive benefit to en-
ployes.
Every advantage that can be taken of
employees either has been taken or is
being taken by the more grasping en-
plOyers, while the better class of EN-.
ployers have been compelled to make
similar demands of their clerks to keep
the balance even with their competitors.
| The isolated and homeopathic con-
| ditiOn of the clerks has always per-
mitted this, until now their hours of
labor are so unremitting that it seems
| doubtful if they can take the few
| hours from their labOrs, necessary for
| them to have i'll order to effect a union.
Even because of this, it has been said,
such an organization could never have
enough members to accomplish any
thing. | know the hours of labor are
now long, but it is altogether likely, in
one way or another, the clerks can gain
time enough to affiliate themselves with
such an organization after it has been
| effected
1t could be made much stronger and
more effective than most of the labor
unions, because graduates of the College
of Pharmacy would readily enter it inn
mediatel y after graduation, which would
make it one of the strongest, if not the
strongest, of organizations for mutual
| benefit, as this controls the source from
whence apothecaries come,
1t is quite probable any labor union
would grant the use of its rooms gratis
while such an organization was being
effected.
These thoughts are dropped with the
hope that some will take them up and
carry them to a successful conclusion:
for the hours of sunshine are numerous
enough TO labor in, and time must surely
come when men can not be compelled
to work by moonlight, lamplight or any
other light. Then shopping will be done
while the sun shines.

NOTES..

Our noble friend, John Swinton, de
lighted us with an unexpected visit last
Tuesday. His health was greatly inn
proved by his trip to Europe. On reading
in the IVorid Of last Sunday his inter
view with the reporter of that paper we
knew, of course, that much of what he
said was not there and that much Of
what was there was not what he said.
Labor papers should make a note of
this and abstain from disappearing
him by quoting the World.

Watch the development of industry in
the South; for, under our perverse eco
nomic system, it surely means a com,
parative decline in the North and lower
wages in the competing lines of in
dustry. The total number of cotton
mills III the Southern States is now 1886,
with Al 900 looms and /, 500, 900 spindles
Their consumption of cotton last year
increased $4,000 bales, whereas in the
Northern mills the consumption re-
manned practically unchanged in spite
of national prosperity" Over sixty
corporations for the manufacture of
cotton goods were organized in the
South within the past eight months.
All. thus far, are turning out the coarser
grades, but some are contemplating the
the production of finer fabrics. The
difficulty in this respect lies in the lack
of skilled factory labor, but the time
may soon como when crisis in the
cotton industry of New England will
afford some enterprising combination of
capitalists an opportunity of attracting
to the South the starving skill of Yankee
dom.
