THE COOKERS STRIKE.
The Receipt of Financial Aid Encourages
the Leaders.

SCoTTDALE, Pa, April 1.-THE stril1-
ers in the coke region are much en-
couraged. A large sum of relief money
was received from Columbus yesterday
afternoon. James Mcbride. member
of the district executive committee, is
busying distributing the money where
most needed. The strike leaders main
tain a bold front, but the increased
shipments show that operators are
gradually gaining. The Fricl1 Coke
Co. shipped LOG cars of coke yesterday
and report additions to their forces at
all plants except Norwood.
The Calumet and Whitney works
were fired up yesterday, and by means
of the newly-imported 200 Italians, the
managers expect to be running full to-
day. Mass meetings of strikers We're
held at number of places last nigat,
and the strikers are making renewed
efforts to have the men at work rejoin
their ranks.
Deputies are guarding the Summit
works in anticipation of a raid. A few
strikers families were evicted at Sum-

MARY FRANCES HALFORD.

Death of the Wife of Elijah HaIford.
Private Secretary to President Har-
rison.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-Mary Frances
Halford wife of E. w. Halford private
secretary to President Harrison, died
shortly before a. m. at her apartment
at the Elsmere in this city. Mrs. Hal
ford has been an invalid for the past
two years, suffering from a complica-
ton of disorders which finally Gull
minated in consumption, which was
the immediate cause of her death.
Mrs. Halford returned only ten days
ago from southern Georgia. where
she had been for several months in a
vain search of health. Last Saturday
it was noticed that Mrs. Halford was
gradually becoming weaker. She did
not respond to treatment Sunday, and
thereafter she sank until Tuesday
night when her condition became alarm
ing, and continued to grow worse until
the end came peacefully. Her husband
and their only child, a daughter, jean
nette, with some friends IN the hotel,
We're with her in the last hours.
Mrs Halford's remains will be buried
in Indianapolis on Friday. Mr.. Halford,
his daughter and a few personal frier3s
will constitute the funeral party

Is All Property a Trust2

In a sermon on Socialism, delivered
by Rev. Lyman Abbott to a wealthy
Boston congregation on Sunday, Feb
ruary Is. the pastor of Plymouth church
said:
Another great proof is that property
is trust. Henry George himself is not
radical enough to suit me. He says
there should be no private property in
land. | say there should DO no private
property at all. And yet l am not
a socialist, not even a Christian So
cialist. My doctrine is easy to under
stand"
DR.. Abbott is right in saying that
Henry George is not radical enough to
accept such doctrine, though we think
he misuses the word radical in this con-
nection. radical, properly speaking,
is one who goes to the roots of things,
and Henry George does go to the root of
the existing inequality in the distribu-
ton of the products of labor, when he
declares that the source of the evil is
the power given by law to a few to
exact from the many payment for the
privilege of access to the opportunities,
through which alone wealth can be Gre
ated
The equal rights of all men to the use
of land being once recognized, Mr..
George claims that the producer has
right to the thing that he has produced
out of natural materials, to which he
has rightful access. Mr.. George, how
ever is political economist, while DR..
Abbott, in declaring that there should
be no private property at all, speaks, we
suppose, as preacher who claims that
God not merely gives to the people the
earth they inhabit, but the powers that
enable them to labor, and that they
hold their natural powers, natural OPP
portunities, and the products of both as
trust from their Creator. This is a
doctrine that appeals to the individual
conscience, and it can not in the nature
of things, be enforced by law. There
is, therefore, no necessity for any con-
troversy between single tax men, who
are seeking to rewrite the laws of the
land concerning property, and DR.. Alb
bolt, who is intoxicating what he be-
lieves to be the lesson of duty to men
who have obtained their property hon

Taxation in Naa DIX.

The New York Times IN an editorial
on the various tax bills Introduced IN
the present legislature, says:
The most sensible bill that has been
introduced is that presented in the as
sembly by Mr.. Stein, ''by request, pro-
posing kind of local option as to the
assessment of property for taxation. 1t
provides that assessors shall state in
separate columns the value of land exclu-
sive of improvements and the value of
land with improvements, and gives coun-
ty authorities the right to levy all taxes
upon land alone; upon land with the i'm
provements thereon, that is, upon real
estate; upon personal property alone,
Or upon the assessed value of land, inn
provements and personal property. Due
provision being made for the equitable
contribution of each county to the reve-
nues of the state, there are many rea
sons why the control of assessment and
taxation might be left to the local au-
thorities. The conditions differ widely
in different counties, and the difference
is especially great between the great
commercial towns and the rural COM
munities A method of assessment
which is entirely practicable in one may
be very badly adapted to the other. In
this city the amount raised for local
purposes is about seven times as great
as that raised for state purposes Pro-
vided the city contributes it's just share
to the state treasury, the. is no reason
why it should not be perml>ted to raise
the money for the purpose AID for its
own expenses in the way best adapted
to the protection and promotion If its
own interests.
In support of this bill the Adv ince
Labor Club, Knights of Labor of Brook
1yn, adopted unanimously the resolu.
ton below, and caused copies of it,
forwarded to the legislature, D. A. 50
and all the New York and brooklyn
newspapers:
BROOKLYN, March "A, 1891.
To the Hon. ASSEMBLY OF NV YORK
greetings:
Whereas, Assemblyman Stein has in.
troduced into the assembly of the state
of New York bill providing for the
enactment of a law giving to the counties
of this state local option in the matter
of taxation of personal property and
real estate within their borders; there
fore be it
Resolved That this Local Assem- bly,,
1862, knights of Labor, recommend to
the assembly and senate of the legisla
ture of the state of New York the favor
able consideration and adoption of said
bill as a measure to the best interests OF
both labor and capital in this state; and
we hereby impress upon the members
of the assembly and senate that they
work and vote for the enactment of
said bill into law, in the interests of
giving home rule to all the counties of
this state in this matter of taxation of
real estate and personal property.

The Cause of Misrepresentation"

Every day passed in enforced idleness
by laborer who would gladly be at
work could he find opportunity, means
so much less in the fund which creates
the effective demand for other labor:
every time wages are screwed down
means so much reduction in the pur-
chasing power of the worlSmen whose
incomes are thus reduced. The paraly-
sis which at all time wastes productive
power. and which in times of industrial
depression causes more loss than great
war, springs from the difficulty which
those who would gladly satisfy their
wants by their labor find in doing SO.
1t can not come from any natural limita-
ton, so long as human desires remain
unsatisfied and nature yet offers to
man the raw material of wealth. 1t
must come from social maladjustments
which permit the monopolization
of thcse natural opportunities, and
which rob labor of it's fair reward.

Will Taxing Coal Lands Increase the
Price of Coal?

The Age of Steel, published at st.
Louis, says that the decision of the Illi-
nois supreme court declaring that coal
beneath the surface in that state is liza
BILE to taxation, will relieve the burden
of taxation on Illinois farmers, but that
"a large proportion of the tax will, of
course, come out of the manufacturing
interests of st. Louis, Chicago, Joliet
and other industrial centers using Illi-
nois coal" How does the Age of Steel
figure that out? Are the coal miners
of Illinois not now charging these man.
ufacturing centers all that they can get?
Would they not charge more now if
they would not thereby drive their pres
ent customers to other sources of sup
ply? How are they, then, going to OBJ
tain more from the manufacturers be-
cause they must henceforth pay taxes
on their coal lands?
We will venture prediction for the
benefit of our st. Louis contemporary.
If the tax imposed on coal lands in
Illinois has any traceable effect on the
price of coal, it will cause the price to
fall rather than to rise. AT present
there is great extent of coal land I'M
worked in Illinois. The ability to hold
it out of use enables mine owners to
limit the supply of coal, to some extent.
The tendency of tax on such land is to
make it less profitable to hold it out of
use. The higher the tax goes, the
greater this tendency. The owners
will, therefore, have an inducement to
work mines at least enough to enable
them to obtain sufficient coal to pay
the taxes. This will put more coal on
the market and tend toward lowering
the price. Let the Age of Steel watch
the market and see if it is not mistaken
in supposing that taxing coal lands will
increase the price of coal.

OF course there are some forms of
personal property which can be seen
and appraised by the assessors, almost
as readily as real estate. though not
with so correct an estimate of value.
The objection to taxation of chattels is
not that none of them can be taxed; it
is that so many of them can be and are
reached, while so many are not, that
the tax is necessarily unequal and I'M
just The important question, there
fore, is, upon what class does this tax
bear most oppressively? If taxes were
levied only upon land values, or upon
the values of land and buildings would
the smaller property owners, and espe-
cially the farmers, pay more or less OF
the whole taxes than they do now?

JUST as society grows SO do the COM
mon needs grow, and SO grows this
value attaching to land-the provided
fund from which they can be supplied.
Here is value that may be taken with
out impairing the right of property,
without taking any thing from the pro-
Queer, without lessening the natural re-
wards of industry and thrift. Nay,
here is a value that must be taken if
we would prevent the most monstrous
of all monopolies. What does all this
mean? 1t means that in the creative
plan, the natural advance in civiliza-
ton is an advance to greater and
greater equality instead of to more
and more monstrous inequality.

IN the thickly settled parts of the
United States there is enough land to
maintain three or four times our pres
ent population, lying unused, because
its owners are holding it for higher
prices, and immigrants are forced past
this unused land to seek homes where
their labor will be far less productive.

AS we have seen, the value of land
is at the beginning of society nothing,
but as society develops by the increase
of population and the advance of the
arts, it becomes greater and greater In
every civilized country, even the new

is sufficient to bear the entire expenses
of government.-Prog and Poverty.
