IL over tho United States taxed higher


than unimproved land CT the same quail
ity, but the taxes which so largely raise
the prices ! oil the farmer has to buy do
not and can not, so long as we are ex-
porters of ag ricultural produce, raise tho
prices of what the farmer has to sell.
And, further than this, to put taxation
solely upon land values would shift tho
weight of taxation from the sparsely
settled agricultural districts to those
populous centers where land has q real
and high value. AS it would destroy
the speculative value of land. tho result
would be that many farmers would have
no taxes at all to pay. for, no matter
what might be the value of his improve
ments, no farmer would have more taxes
to pay than could be collected from UNI
improved land equal to his in quality
and situation. Manifestly 1t would DO
very greatly to the relief of tho farmer
to abolish all the taxes which now fall
upon his Improvements and his con-
sumption, and substitute for them a tax
upon the value of bare land, which is
always higher in populous centers than
in agricultural districts. and in sparsely
settled agricultural districts hardly ex-
lists at all, except as the result of specu-
lation. And from the effects upon tho
diffusion of population the farmer would
greatly gain. just as the city popula-
tion would gain from tho destruc-
ton OF the system which now builds
tensment houses and vacant lots, so
would the agricultural communities
gain in productive power and in social
enjoyment when settlement should be-
come closer, from tho fact that there
would no longer be any inducement for
any one to take up or hold more land
than he could use.
Further than this, it must DO remem-
bered that, although the selling price of
land would diminish this, since it would
affect all land, would not affect the ex-
change value OF the homestead lots or
farms. 1t would be, to the man who
wants for himself and his family the So
curity of home in which to live, or
land to cultivate, purely nominal and
intangible loss, to Offset which there
would be great and actual gains; and, as
his children grew up, it would be very
much easier for them to get homesteads
or farms of their own.
The only people who would really
lose would be those whose incomes arc
mainly drawn from the rent, not of
buildings, but of land, and those who
are holding land in tho expectation of
future profit from the high prices
that in time those who want to
use it will be compelled to pay
them for it. But there are few,
if any, individuals who belong exclu-
sively to this class In varying degrees
all our large landholders are also capt.
talists, and would gain as capitalists
though they might lose as land owners.
And, il in some cases tho relative loss
exceeded the relative gain, 1t would only
be land this, if necessary, might be made
certain by some provision as to widows,
etc. in the case of those who could
readily stand the loss without being
really hurt. In any largo view it will
always be found that the true interests
of all individuals coincide with the best
interests of society.

think you could sell for as much and as
soon as an agent who has had years OF
experience in selling property in all

knows who are buyers, one who will ad-
vertise your property, make out deed,
and attend to all the details OF sale
without any trouble or expense to you?
Does it pay you to rent your property
when you can, for small commission,
employ an agent who, with fourteen
years of experience in this city OF rent
ing houses and doing general collecting,
can place n tenant in Your property at
the highest rents paid, and rent to ten
ants who pay the rent? The loss OF one

House saloon, on Fourteenth street:
The saloons in the blocks diagramed
above have all been found open recently

give their location and their hondsmen 50
that the public may know who are the re-
sponsible parties. Access was easy TO each

entrance TO each was securely locked"

ment is wholly and absolutely false, so
far as il applies TO me, my name and
the location of my saloon being placed

have in placing me before the public in
this false light, | cannot imagine.

Quit Work.
The wage agreement between the
Riverside officials and the employees of
the Company's steel plant, at BenwOod,
terminated yesterday, and as the scale
for 1891 has not yet been signed, the
employees quit work yesterday morning
at six o'clock. the time for the day turn
to go on. The plant would probably
have been closed down anyhow next
week for repairs.
30 settlement was reached at the cons
ference hetwaBn the officials and q com
mittee OF the workmen last Monday
afternoon, and meetings were held
Tuesday night at X. Of l.. Hall and
Scanlan's Hall, in Benw0od, at which
the matter was fully discussed, and II
was decided to quit work until the diff
ferences were adjusted. 1t is under
stood that the scale presented by the
tonnage workers made no important
changes from that in force last year. The
greasers, engineers, firemen and ma
chinistS. who do not belong to any or
ganizatiQn, presented separate scale,
asking for the same wages as paid In
Bellaire and Mingo. The Locomotive
engineer is paid 81. 50 per day. and asked
for 50. The first blowing engineer re-
ceives 20. 50, and asks for So, the second
is paid 50 &c per day, and the scale calls
for s2.7O. The machinists demand an
increase from 80 to 81. The travel
ing crane men are paid the same wages,
and ask for a similar advance. The
machinist's helper is paid Sl.55 per day,
and asks for sl.6Q. The nremen re-
ceiye Il. 81, and demand either ~ day
or a helper. The water tenders receive
