LITERARY NOTES.
ALFRED G. YEMEN, OF SIDNEY, AUSTRALIA.

A REPUTATION OF THE SINGLE TAX, BY
 ALFRED G. YEMEN, OF SIDNEY,
 AUSTRALIA.
 The George cat has been belled here in New York by Shevitch and Gronlund, in England by Hyndman, and more re- gently in Australia by Alfred G. Yewen in thirty two pages pamphlet entitled "A Refutation of the Single Tax"
 Mr. Yewens pamphlet contains in very concise form an analysis and, as the sure result of such treatment, a full refutation of what, in the recent history of one-legged economies, has come to be known as Georgeism. The manner of handling the question is felicitous. Mir. 4ewen takes up the economic his tory of civilization; and, thus going "across lots", he starts and riddles with shot one after another the economic fallacies of George on the various sub Jects of wages, capital, value, profit, interest, etc; stops occasionally in his sport to rake up George for his unscien- titic way of loose terminology; convicts him of pointed contradictions in impor- tant respects; and closes with very able disquisition on Herbert Spencer's land theory and on Trades Unionism- with regard to both of which topics he exposes Georges false pretenses and disingenuousness.
 Having so thoroughly tossed up George in blanket, Mir. Yewen might fittingly have given his object one more toss and let him then fall on the ground to smash by pointing out the fact that, granting all of Georges premises, the inevitable result would be that the sta @ would ultimately become the owner of all the wealth of the whole nation and would in that way become-not, as So- cialism would have it, the admins tra- tive head of an industrial organization but the gorged Pasha of Nine Tails over a pauper population, condition of things that is at all points exactly like the picture which the ignorant or vci- ous, such as George himself, draw of Socialism.
 MT. Yewen's pamphlet is well worth the reading.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

How many young working women real ize the changes which the last half cen- tury has brought in woman's industrial position? Some time ago met woman, not in advanced age, only about sixty, who told me that in her girlhood she took position behind counter in a shop in Buffalo She was the first mem- Der of her sex who had ever held such a place in that city, and people used to peer in at the windows to stare at her in the unusual occupation.
 In those days every yard of lace and every pair of stockings was sold by a man. At that time there were almost no ready made garments; the sewing machine was not long invented and clothing was mostly made in the fa- mily.
 Look at the difference between that time and this. Thousands of saleswomen in our shops, thousands of women with flying feet and hands making millions of garments, and other thousands at work in our factories.
 All this vast horde toiling, toiling, toihng, day after day, year after year, with scant time even to make or mend their clothing, less for recreation, none for mental improvement; ill paid-al- ways paid less than men for the same or similar work.
 Despite the fact that they form a most important contingent in the army of labor, that their contributions to the economic welfare of the country are so great, these valuable laborers are denied the just profits of their toll and live for the most part in condition of hopeless industrial slave.y.
 The lot of the working man is hard enough; that of the working woman is tenfold harder. Why?
 Largely because she cannot vote. It is an axiom in political economy that "A disfranchised class is always an oppressed class, not because anyone intends to be unjust, but because its members having no representation, their interests are forgotten.
 Working women, ponder upon these words. You are members of a dis franehised class and your interests are forgotten. The working men are remem- bered, not as they should be and with
Workmen's advocate., 1890-06-28

will inevitably be taught by the resis- tance of the corporations which they have created, that public functions must not be delegated to profit makers; and they will at last demand the repeal of all the charters by the granting of which their unfaithful or thoughtless represen- tatives have established a privileged class, bold enough to defy the state and the law.
