A Labor Union Sees the Light.

The Central labor union, of Evans
vile, Ind, has sent petition to the
common council of that city, in which
they ask that "all taxes on improve
ments be removed, in order that the
building industry may be stimulated
and employment given to those who
are now idle" The Evansville Courier
heartily Endorses the petition in an edi-
torial article. 1t says it can see no good
reason for filming men who are willing
to beautify our city by erecting hand
some buildings and more wholesome
cottages for the working people, partic-
ularly when by so doing employment is
given to more carpenters, painters,
bricklayers, plasterers, plumbers, and,
in fact, the workmen of every trade and
industry. Under the present policy of
our city, the Courier continues, every
man who erects a building or even
builds fence around his building is
fined So on every 500 of capital he en-
ploys, which is absurd, of course; but
the problem is to make the very work.

The Only Tax That Can Not Be Shifted.

II we impose tax on money loaned,
as has been often attempted, the lender
will charge the tax to the borrower,
and the borrower mustpay it or not OBJ
tain the loan. If the borrower uses it
in his business, he in his turn must get
back the tax from his customers, or his
business becomes improbable. If we
impose tax upon buildings, the users
of buildings must finally pay it, for the
erection of buildings will cease until
building rents become high enough to
pay the regular profit and the tax be-
sides. If we impose tax upon manufac-
lures, the manufacturer will charge it
In a higher price to the jobber, the job
Der to the retailer, and the retailer to
the consumer. Now, the consumer, on
whom the tax thus ultimate falls, must
not only pay the amount of the tax, but
also profit on this amount to every
one who has thus advanced it-for profit
on the capital he has advanced in pay
ing taxes is as much required by each
dealer as profit on the capital he has
advanced in paying foor goods.
In this way all taxes which add to
prices are shifted from hand to hand,
Increasing as they go, until they ulti-
mately rest upon consumers, who thus
pay much more than is received by the
government. Now, the way taxes
raise prices is by increasing the cost of
production, and checking supply But
land is not thing of human produe-
ton, and taxes upon rent can not check
supply. Therefore, though a tax on
rent compels the land owners to
pay more, it gives them no power to
obtain more for the use of their land,
as it in no way tends to reduce the sup
ply of land. On the contrary, by COM
pelling those who hold land on specu-
lation to sell or let for what they can
get, tax on land values tends to in
crease the competition bet ween own
ers, and thus to reduce the price of land.

The Landowner is the Manowner.

Land being indispensable to labor.
those who monopolize land are able to
make their own terms with labor; or
rather, the competition with which
each other of those who can not en-
ploy themselves, yet must find employ
ment or starve, will force wages down
to the lowest point at which the habits
of the laboring class permit them to
live and reproduce. At this point, in
all countries where land is fully monop.
olized, the wages of common labor
must rest, and toward it all other
wages tend being only kept up above
it by the special conditions artificial
or otherwise, which give labor in some
occupations higher wages than in 9TH
ers. And SO no improvement even in
the power of labor itself-whether it
come from education, from the actual
increase of muscular force, or from the
ability to do with less sleep and work
longer hours-could raise the reward of
labor above this point. This we see in
countries and in occupations where the
labor of women and children is called
in to aid the natural bread-winner in
the aid of the support of the family
While as for any increase in economy
and thrift, as soon as it became general
it could only lessen, not increase, the
reward of labor.

Why a Land Value Tax is just.

Land has two elements of value; one
given it by labor, the other by the com.
munity without any exertion of labor.
The first should not be taxed the Sec
ond may be. A tract of land located a
hundred miles away from any settle
ment or from a road leading to settle
ment, has no value except such as labor
applied to it gives, and should not be
taxed; but tract located within one
mile of a growing city may be worth
ten thousand dollars per acre, most of
its value being given it by virtue of its
proximity to the city, and the fact that,
as the city increases in population, the
land will eventually be required for city
purposes Now inasmuch as the most
of this particular value of the land has
been given to it by the community, and
not by the labor of any individual who
may occupy it, the interest of that value
thus given belongs of right, to the COM
munity, and may be justly claimed and
taken by it through taxation. If, there
fore. the interest of its value is taken bv
the community, the land, for all practical
purposes, is restored to the community,
though the person who occupies it may
continue to do SO, or even to sell, ex-
change, mortgage or bequeath it, and
If the taxes on such lands, whether in
city, village or country, amount to suf-
fcient to defray the expenses of all
departments of the government, there
will be no necessity for taxing the pro-
ducts of labor, and, therefore, the two
laws of nature which have named as
having been violated, will be restored
to their normal dignity, and their vlo-
lation ceases. The cause of enforced
poverty being thus abolished, that ter
rible foe to human happiness will dis

A Good Wool and Mutton sbs.,

One advantage that Merinos have
over the Downs is their fine wool and
abundance of oil, which protects them
from the rain and sudden changes of
temperature. The Downs with their
long. open fleece soon get wet and
chilled in a storm, but the wool of the
Merinos is so oily that the water runs
off more readily. The Merinos are
hustlers and will find good picking
where the Downs would starve. Thew
will also bear herdiIg in large hocks,
but seventy-fve of Down breed is all
that should. be put in one flock. The
Dickinson, or Black-Top American
Merino, are the best that can he found.
They are large. strong and not as
wrinkly as the Spanish Merino. Cross
them with Down ram or Horned
Dorset and the lambs will grow rap

the end will give good carcas for

THAT people can be enslaved Just
as effectually by making property of
their lands as by making property of
their bodies, is a truth that conquerors
in all ages have recognized, and that,
as society developed, the strong and I'M
scrupulous who desired to live off the
labors of others, have been prompt to
see. The coarser form of slavery, in
which each particular slave is the prop
erty of particular owner, is only fit
ted for rude state of society, and with
social development entails more and
more care, trouble and expense upon
the owner. But by making property of
the land instead of the person, much
care, supervision and expense are saved
the proprietors; and though no particu-
lar slave is owned by particular mas
ter, yet the one class still appropriates
the labor of the other class as before.

THE effect of substituting for the mani
fold taxes now imposed single tax on
the value of land would hardly lessen
the number of conscious tax payers, for
the division of land now held on specu-
lation would much increase the number
of land-holders But it would so equal
ize the distribution of wealth as to raise
even the poorest above that condition
of abject poverty in which public con-
siderations have no weight; while it
would at the same time cut down those
overgrown fortunes which raise their
possessors above concern in govern
ment. The dangerous classes political
ly are the very rich and the very poor

How Land Speculation Paws,

On Friday of last week there was a
transfer of plot of land on the upper
part of Manhattan Island known as
Washington Heights. The land lies
between Tenth avenue, which runs
along the edge of the bluff on the east,
and Kingsbridgc road on the west. and
One hundred and Eighty-second street
and One Hundred and Seventy-sevcnth
street on the north and south. 1t com
prises about IS full blocks or 400 city
lots. The price paid for this plot was
$1,000, 900. The purchasers are a syn
dictate of New Workers who propose to
place the property on the market in
small plots The sellers were Vice
President Levi p. Morton and his part
ner, George Bliss.
This property was known as the Cen
eral Butterfield farm and was purchased
by Morton and Bliss in the latter part
of 1885, just five and one half years ago
for $780, Since that time the i'm
provement of the cable road on Tenth
avenue, the building of the Washington
bridge across the Harlem and the Law
ing out of One Hundred and Eighty-sec-
ond street has brought the land into
the market And the result has been
an accretion in value in the five and
one-half years of just $3.50, 900, or $780,
600 per year. This increase on an in
vestment of $500 represents profit
OF over % per cent per annum If we
estimate the average rate of profit, in
business investments over and above all
expenses, insurance and wages of SUI
perintendence as high as per cent, we
