A shower of FI.be.

The writer has before him at tn
moment three small fishes of a tropical
species: two alive and well, the third
preserved in wood alcohol. They are
relics OF one of the most remarkable
nsh showers on record. On June II
OF the present year there was cloud
burst two miles north OF Sibley. la.
which was accompanied by fall OF
millions of small fish OF the species
known in southern ATTITUDES as axalatt.
The three piscatorial specimens men
toned above were sent to the writer on
July 4, after having been kept in a
rain barrel for nearly month. The
TWO living specimens still seem lively
and happy, but will not eat. 1t is only
a question of time when they, too will
take bath of wood alcohol.

Ahe Single Tax ana Henry Georges Pro.

Rev. Father Huntington, of New York
City, made an address in Ashfield and
discussed the needs of farmers and the
causes of the increasing depression in
agricultural districts. He showed that
as farm work lies at the base in the bus
mess world, every mercantile and man
ufacturing class has a class beneath it
to grind the taxes out of, the farmers
virtually pay the taxes. In the large
cities tens of thousands of laborers are
kept by starvation wages so poor that
they can not buy the farmers produce,
and so his market is reduced to mini
mum, and life becoming dull and empty
In the country, hundreds of thousands
OF young men and women are pouring
into the cities from what might be hap
Ply country homes.
Once the farmers were the leading
class in New England. To-day we hear
WHO cares for the farmers?" The
millionaire is the only important man.
And how does he get his money? By
controlling and restricting natural ad-
vantages. God gave the land to man.
kind to be used freely for the common
good. Why is it that l, 700 human be-
ings have to be crowded into one single
block in New York City? Because it is
possible for land to be held unused at
enormous prices-for speculation. We
tax men now by taking away from them
part of what they produce. This real
ly is nothing more nor less than rob-
bery-legalized robbery. Let every
man have all he produces, but do not al
low men to have any more than the
use of the land. Let them have their
title to land just as at present,
but let them pay a rent for it to the
government, for land belongs of
right to all the people So it was held
of old in England, when the farmers
were prosperous and free and not slaves,
as they virtually are to-day. Let there
be but one single tax and that levied on
the land, according to its rental value.
Then the greatest monopoly that exists
to-day would be destroyed, and there
would begin to be freedom in the world
of the wage-worker Men who wanted
to buy homesteads would ind abundance
of land in the market, for no one would
keep it who did not want to use it, and
no man who can own homestead can be
to work for starvation wages.
With the elevation of the working
classes in the cities the farmers produce
would be in demand and fair prices could
be obtained. The millionaires would
not roll up money so fast and in the end
would share some of their millions with
the farmers.
The great law OF God would be then |
obeyed, that the land is given to men as |
air ard water and light are, for the ben
eft of all. And the other law of God |
would be recognized, that every man |
has right to the enjoyment of a just |
return for what his labor has pro-
duced from the natural opportunities
given him.
What is advocated is not a commune
lstic partition of land, but single tax,
