The single tax men Of Missouri are &c
complishing wonders ID forcing to the
front the doctrines that they hold.
They have gone about it in the right way.
They have not merely lent their aid ia
the democratic party, but they have
procured the nomination and election
to the legislature of seven single tax
men, Of whom one is in the state sem
ate and six in the house. The men thus
| chosen are not merely members, but
leading members, Of the branches to
which they belong. One of them is
speaker of the house, one chairman of
the ways and means committee. one
chairman OF the committee on internal
improvements, and another chairman
of the committee on manufactures, and
others hold places on other important
committees. As was shown by an item
printed in last weeks Standard, the
single tax mon are pushing the demo
cratic party forward toward free trade,
and though they failed in securing an
open declaration in accord with their
views, II. Martin Williams, says that
more than half the members are free
traders. Mr. Williams Is one of the
clerks of the house, and he was APP
pointed to that position with q full
knowledge of the fact that he is not
