English Land Tax.

Commenting on the debate on land
taxation in the house of commons,
Michael Davitt's paper, the Labor
World, after showing how the landlord
parliament of England had reduced the
land tax which formerly constituted the
bulk of revenues of the English govern
ment, to merely nominal proportion
of the total amount raised by taxation,
says:
The total rent-revenue derived by
landlordism from the land each year,
including ground rents and royalties,
is difficult if not impossible, to ascer-
tain accurately. But it is generally
computed at land, 9200, 0OO 900 to 9250,-
100000. This vast sum is not the result
of from lord energy, intelligence, or
outlay. 1t is the earning, the creation
of the industrial community. If every
landlord in Great Britain emigrated to
the antipodes and remained there for
ever, the economic value of the land
would go on producing the wealth
which the landed aristocracy is now APP
propriating as its property The influ-
ence which they, as class, exercise
upon the production of this wealth is
about equal to that which they exer-
else upon the growth of the bodies of
the human units of our population
The labor of the masses, the social
necessities of the community, the daily
wants of the people and the general
progress of the arts and sciences as APP
piled to the organism of society. are
alone responsible for the wealth which,
a nf MI nd ,
less class are taking year by year from
the nation.
Instead of five millions, the entire
taxation, local and general, should be
levied upon land values. These are the
products of the combined energies of
the whole population. They are, there
fore, the one legitimate subject for ma
tional revenue. They grow from the
inalienable patrimony of the state.
Every citizen contributes to their de-
velopment. No mans house, or food,
or clothing, or earnings would suffer
from the appropriation of land values
for fiscal purposes. On the contrary,
every tax now levied upon the neces-
saries of life could be abolished if the
land of the country was again made the
source from whence the state should
derive the means with which to carry
on the duties of government. 1t would
be an act of restitution, and not of revo-
luton. The people would be only talk
ing that which they and they alone,
create, and the nation would only be
enjoying again the right of which it
was deprived by a privileged class in
making the economic earning" of the
soil defray the cost of administering
tie affairs of the commonweal To the
cry of 'confiscation, which this de-
mand would call forth from landlords,

There lived in Dublin, some ars
ago, a gentleman named Murphy
''Cozy" Murphy, they called him, for
short, and because he was a very com
Portable sort of Murphy. Cozy Muir
ply owned land in Tipperary; but as
he had an agent in Tipperary to collect
his rents and evict his tenants when
they did not pay. he himself lived in
Dublin, as being the more comfortable
place And he concluded, ut length,
that the most comfortable place in Dub
lin, in fact the most comfortable place
in the whole world, was-in bed. So
he went to bed and stayed there for
nearly eight years; not because he was
at all ill, but because he liked it. He
ate his dinners, and drank his wine,
and smoked his cigars, and read, and
played cards, and received visitors, and
verified his agents accounts, and drew
checks-all in bed. After eight years
lying in bed, he grew tired of it, got up,
dressed himself, and for some years
went around like other people, and then
died. But his family were just as well
off as though he had never gone to bed
in fact, they were better off; for
while his income was not whit dimin-
ished by his going to bed, his expenses
were.
This was typical landowner = a
landowner pure and simple Now let
the working farmer consider what
would become of himself and family if
he and his boys were to go to bed and
stay there, and he will realize how
much his interests as a laborer exceed
his interests as landowner.

second City of the world.

The census OF 1890 proves that with
in radius of fifteen miles from the
centre of the city of New York there
is population considerably in excess
of 3, 900. 900 people, or more than two
thirds that of the city OF London.
In the official language of the Re-
port Next to London, New York and
its suburbs form the largest city OF the
globe.
Says Mr.. Porter: THE people
within this fifteen-mile radius are, in
effect citizens OF New York. so far as
their business and social interests go,
although politically they live in differ
emit cities. counties and States"
These figures are conclusive; there
can no longer be doubt that New
York is, and must ever remain, the
financial and commercial metropolis OF
the western world.

There was one word the little girl
heard many times day. The word
was Mussentouchit.
Baby wondered who Mussentouchit
could be. The strange thing lived in
the bureau drawers.
1t lived in the sewing machine.
1t lived in the tall jar that stood on
the little round table.
1t certainly lived in the glass globe
where the gold fishes swan.
This went on till baby was years
old. There was no word she heard so
often as the long queer word. Mus
sentouchit.
Mussentouchit was everywhere in
the shining books on the parlor table;
in the ilower-beds; among the roses;
even in mammals work basket the
strange thing lived; and If baby but
took up reel of silk or cotton, there
was Mussentouchit.
One day baby found herself by the
glass globe all alone. The family were
very busy, and for few minutes for
got the little, prying, restless darling.
This was her chance. Up went the
chubby legs into the chair that stood
near the goldfish globe. Poised on
the rounding cushion, baby reached
far over TO touch the goldfish. In
reaching she lost her balance and fell,
dragging the globe to the floor. There
was a crash, scream, a rush, and
mamma was on the spot. Baby was
picked up, kissed and scolded.

Why the Farmer Should Favor the
Single Tax.

SO far from the effect of placing all
taxes upon the value of land being to
the advantage of the towns at the eX-
pense of the agricultural districts, the
very reverse of this is obviously true.
The great increase of land values is in
the cities, and with the present tenden-
cies of growth this must continue to be
the case. Toplace all taxes on the value
of land would be to reduce the taxation
of agricultural districts relatively to
the taxation of towns and cities.
And this would be only just; for it is
not alone the presence of their own
populations which gives value to the
lands of towns and cities, but the pres
ence of the more scattered agricultural
population, for whom they constitute
industrial, commercial and financial
centers.
