tSpe.i ial Cor. STATE CHRsHIsLl1

Especial Cor. STATE CHRsNIsLl)
DANvILLE. Va, Jan. 5.-A copy Of
your paper of the Sd inst. was sent me
BY friend In which, in leading arti-
Gle. you deal with tho subject of "The
Equalization of Taxation" The article
ends, "Henry George believes that land
ought to bear all the burdens of taxa
ton, 80 as to discourage people from
holding land" etc. l could write good
deal on this point, but will confine my
self to the following:
| feel sure that you do not wish to do
an injustice to Henry George, but, if
you will carefully read his works, think
you will fiud your statement hardly war
rantable. What Henry George desires
to bring about is, l take it, not to dis
courage people from holding land who
USE the land they own; but to stop the
LAND SPECULATION which he says has so
much to do with hard times. If all other
taxes are abolished save the one tax on
LAND VALUES mot land, which Is alto
gether differently whoever owns land
snd is uslso 1t, say for farm, dwelling or
other useful purposes, will have much
less tax TO pay directly than he now docs
indirectly. But the owners Of the town
lots who do not use them themselves
and are holding them for use in value,
use created by the population, not the
owners, will certainly have to pay more
than they now do.
Permit me to submit the following
and close: "The necessity of Govern.
msnt Is caused by increase OF population.
The increase of population creates land
values. Let the one pay the expenses OF
the other. Again: taxing articles, etc.
makes them dearer to the consumer. Ii
you tax hats, hats are dearer, etc.. etc
But 1t is different with land. Tax that
and it will be cheaper. Now, if we are
to be taxed, why not tax the thing thai
will be cheapened in preference to any
thing else whose cost will be increasec
by taxation.
Yours very respectfully,

A Democratic exchange thinks that
the drop in sugar proves that the tar
iff is tax. Perhaps. Brussels car
peting has been selling in New York
for from two to seven cents less than
the duty, therefore, if this tax was re-
moved everyone could secure carpet
and be given from two to seven cents
per yard for taking it away. There
is tax of two dollars keg on wire
nails and they are selling by the man
ufacturer at from two to two fifty per
keg, therefore, if this tax was remov-
cd we could get wire nails from moth
ing to fifty cents per hundred pounds.
How nice Intelligent men know
that the protection theory has always
been that upon all articles that we
could not produce in sufficient qnan-
tity to supply home consumption, like
sugar, that the tariff was tax paid
by the consumer, while upon articles
toat we could produce, home COM
petition would keep the prices down
so that the consumer would not be
taxed. Verify even an editor some
times fails to rise to the level of Or
dinary intelligence.

We have in hand and shall publish
next week an article critisizing the
ideas put forth by our Barnumville
correspondent in his obituary notice
of Mrs. Adams in regard to woman's
work. And here the opportunity is
improved to state the position of the
SITTER upon this subject:
1t believes in equal rights for the
human family, unrestricted by sex or
race it welcomes every extension of
the sphere of woman; ii blesses the
noble work done by the scores of
wives, mothers and sisters in despite
of the sneers of the "Lords of crea-
tion," for God and humanity it be-
lieves they are eminently fitted to
preach the gospel of temperance. mo-
rality and social virtue; it hopes to
live to see the musty superstitions and
dogmas of the dark and ignorant ages
wiped out and women left free from
the taunts of "Lordly man" to labor
in all the spheres Of life.
Our friend Us head is usually quite
level but in this matter he is "way
off," This is an age of ideas. A
wonderfully beautiful car of progress,
freighted with the highest hopes of an
enlightened, disenthralled humanity,
is moving, moving, moving. 1t will
never stop. And if you do not wish
to be crushed beneath its wheels,
whether you be priest, layman or
bishop, you want to stand aside, or,
better still, jump aboard and help
bear aloft the flag inscribed, equal
rights for all.

PRICE THREE CENTS.
The Columbian Cyclopedia.

The Columbian Cyclopedia is the name
and new form of what has heretofore been
known as Alden's Manifold Cyclopedia,
and which has won great popularity by its
high merit, combined with its amazingly
low price.
The Columbian Cyclopedia will com
prise 32 volumes, of about 800 pages each
(the Manifold was 40 vols, of $40 pages
each), being about equal in size to Apple
on's Cyclop edia, and about so per cent
larger than Johnson's. The entire set will
contain about 600 illustrations; it is very
handsomely printed and bound, aud, like
the Manifold, is almost fabulously cheap,
the entire set being furnished in cloth
binding for $25 90, with easy installment
terms to those who want them. OF course
subsci iptions to the Manifold will be com
pleted in uniform style with the early
volumes delivered.
Whoever is interested in cyclopedias will
do well to secure (free) specimen pages
of the Columbian. which may be had by
addressing The Columbian Publishing

The Tariff Tax.
N. Y. Press /:

Another free trade howl has gone
wrong. "McKinley prices" was a
great political war cry for three months
following the passage of the new tariff
law. Importers and greedy storekeep-
ers combined to give it force. But it
was temporary expedient only, "a
good enough Morgan until aftere
ton" Like the phrase "tinplate
liars" it is coming back to plague
those who originated it, An example
of what present" Mckinley prices" are
comes to the Press all the way from
Kansas, where the opposition to the
Mckinley bill was said to be the cause
of the political revolution by which
the Farmers Alliance came into power
there. One of the largest retail stores
in Kansas City publishes daily bull
etin its offered bargains, from which
this extract is taken:
THAT PEsTIFERoUs NJ 'KINLEY BILL.
On April |, sugar will drop from 2
to PIP cents pound. This is due
to the Mckinley bill, which placed
sugar on the free list and at the same
time protected home sugar growers
and sugar manufacturers by sufficient
bounty.
On April /, OF as soon thereafter as
it is possible to get our sugar out of
the government bonded warehouse, we
will sell standard granulated sugar.
20 POUNDS FOR 100.
Our present price is II pounds for
S1.00. You save 81 in three.
Heretofore you paid S4 for 60 lbs.
You can now buy the same 60 pounds
for So.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF 1T!
A prominent grocery store in Allen
town, Pa, also has something to say
in its advertisement about Mckinley
prices" This is what it tells its GUS
toners:
MCKINLEY DID It'll!
BIG RFDUCTIONIN THE PRICE OF SUGAR.
We take this method of notifying
the public that in the month of April
the price of sugars in all grades will
be reduced several cents a pound. This
will be material advantage to each
of our customers, saving them yearly
the neat sum of
FROM $40 TO S25,
according to the amount each family
consumes.
We must thank Major MCKINLEY
of Ohio for this reduction, and, know
ing no better method for doing it, we
make this public mention of the fact.
The Press merely remarks that
there does not appear to be anything |
wrong with "McKinley prices" on
this line.
