Fortune Seeding Emirrants.

Many a poor family that seeks the West
ern wilds in the hope of winning a fortune,
is preserved from that insidous foe of the
emigrant and frontiersman-chIlls and
fever-by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. So
effectually does that incompatible medic
inal defense fortify the system against the
influence of a malarious atmos-
phere and miasma- tainted water, that pro-

tourist provided with it, may safely en-

them to get as much as possible of those

be as efficient and numerous as possible.
1t demands that they shall get all
they can earn, and that they shall not
be required to pay any thing out of
what they produce, even for the sup
port of government, unless government
gives them advantages-not bcne-
fits, but advantages. 1t is desirable,
in normal social conditions, that wealth
producers shall be efficient and numer-
Gus; but in the conditions that prevail,
under which the single tax (rent) goes
to private land owners, increase OF pro-
ductive power presses against monopoly
of land, until growth of population
seems to be an evil, to be offset by such
comparative blessings as pestilence and
war.
10. The single tax would raise the
cost OF necessaries and thus reduce the
purchasing power of wages, and would
tax man in proportion to the number
of children he rears.
This is precisely what present systems
OF taxation do. But the single tax, fall
ing solely upon the rent which now
goes almost untaxed to landlords, would
tax a man according to the value of his
government privileges, and not accord
ing to what he consumed, nor according
to what he produced.
IA. The single tax is therefore against
political economy, as we'll as against
free trade.
Against ore as much as against the

Games Of Chance Arc Bad Enough But
Much the Lessor Evil.
= We have seen lately. in the papers
some bitter denunciations of the Louis
lana Lottery Company, the managers of
which are seeking to obtain renewal
0f their charter, which will soon expire
by limitation. As a money-making
scheme that lottery has been a great
success, and of course its managers,
like those of any successful trust or
''combination," don't care to be deprived
of it.
Interested as we are in the welfare of
the American people, we have no SYM
pathy for any undertaking, chartered
or unchartered, that exerts corrupting
influence, or robs the masses. No argu-
ment is required to show the demoraliz-
ing effect of lotteries-for public senti-
meht in most of the States, North and
South, is against them, and the growth
of this sentiment has led to their grad
ual suppression.
/ But we feel concerned about far
greater evil than the lottery, and when
we note the strong terms of censure
with which the religious and secular
press attack the sale of chances for the
drawing of a fortune from the hollow
cylinder, we wonder that the greater
evil seems forgotten. OF course we re-
fer to the universal dram shop. the cor
rupting effects of which ON body and
soul are unspeakably unhappy in every
way. Then the lottery, like many
games of chance, owes its existence or
maintenance for the most part, to the
dram shop. Is there not in the attitude
that is shown in dealing with lotteries
much of that spirit which was the sub
ject of certain comments quoted in the
New Testament? The reader will re-
member how certain people were said to

Glatlstone's Opinion.

LONDON: May 1s.-Mr. Gladstone
spoke at,the Golden club to-day. He
said that free traders must recognize
with great disappointment how much
ground had been lost by their doctrine
within the last twenty-five years. Pro-
lection was applied now in America,
not only to goods but to persons, as was
instanced by the treatment of the Chi
nese. The great republic had never
accepted the doctrines Of free trade. At
one time there had been kind of quail
iaed progress toward them, but this
being checked, opinion became actually
retrOgreSsive.
