Why are Wages High or Low7

Look over the world to-day. In coun-
tries the most widely differing-under
conditions the most diverse as to gov
srnmeEIt, as to industries, as to tariffs,
as te carrency-you will find distress
amol. 6. the working classes; but every
where that you thus find distress and
destitution in the midst of wealth, you
will find that the land is monopolized;
that instead of being treated as the
common property of the whole people,
it is treated as the private property of
individuals; that, for its use by labor,
large revenues are extorted from the
earnings Of labor. Look over the world
to-day, comparing different countries
with each other, and you will see that
it is not the abundance of capital or the
producgiveness of labor that makes
wages high or low; but the extent to
which the monopolizers of land can, in
rent, levy tribute upon the earnings of
labor. Is it not notorious fact, known
to the most ignorant, that new coun-
tries, where the aggregate wealth is
small, but where land is cheap, are al
ways better countries for the laboring
classes than the rich countries?-Pro-
gress and Poverty.

recognizes results, but ascribes them to
causes from which they do not and San
not naturally and logically in the first
instance proceed. If Mr.. Connolly will
study the subject, argue it along the
line OF logical sequences, he will find
that the evils Of which he speaks and
all the evils that affect the general in

able taxation and that tho single tax IS
the remedy, because it is equitable.

A Foolish Paper.

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch has evil
IDENTIFY learned nothing from the wide
spread discussion of the question OF
taxation. 1t admits that the present
xystem is unscientific and unjust
and imposes unequal burdens. Taxa
ton, il says, falls almost entirely upon
real estate and live stock. implements
and products of industry and does not
touch incomes or inheritances, while it
fails to reach those forms OF personal
property which constitute the vast
wealth of the usurers and plutocrats."
The Post-Dispatch, however, insists
that it does not follow that the bad sys-
TEN of personal property taxation can
be improved by abolishing such taxes.
It declares that the demand of the Chi
cago papers for entire exemption from
what they call the ''odious and unjust
personal property tax is progress to-
ward Henry Georges Single Tax idea,
which it declares ''simply means the
imposition of the whole revenue burden
upon land and labor, upon renters and
the consumers of the earth's annual
products" Such a system, 1t says, would
make the poorest 1aborer as big a
taxpayer as the biggest capitalist. We
hope that the Post-Dispatch will take
the trouble to explain how tax on land
values is going to fall on labor, The

The Single Tax and the Farmer Ag.ini

A Mr.. Connolly, United States consul
to New Zealand, has been discussing
the politico-economic condition of that
country in the Brooklyn Eagle. In re-
gard to the single tax agitation now 60
ing on in New Zealand he says:
There is considerable agitation in the
colony at present as to the merits and
dement's of single land tax. But as
the farmer, upon whom the burden must
ultimately fall, has to contend with the
many trials and vicissitudes which be-
set the farmers of other lands it is diff
cult to thoroughly understand how he
is to survive and prosper under the ad-
ditional taxation which must natm ally
follow the adoption of the single Lind
tax system.
All of which goes to show that Mr..
Connolly doesn't know what he is talk
ing about. But Mr.. S. d. Guion is de-
termined that the readers of the Eagle
shall not be misled by MIR. Connofly's
specious reasoning, so he explains to
them, and explains at Mr.. Connolly,
what the single tax theory really is and
how it would really operate. tits to be
hoped that the Eagles readers, espe-
cially Mr.. Connolly, have read and in
wardly digested the following, which
