THE VACANT POST.

There seems to be some doubt if the local
directory of the Worlds Fair will confirm
the nomination of Mr.. Samuels as chief of
the Department of Horticulture. So far
the Board Of Control and the local directory
have not been able to agree upon any nomI-
nation for this Office. The directory re-
jected both ef De Young's nominees and
the Board OF Control refused to confirm the
nomination Of Mr.. Chapman. 1t was sup
posed that the local directory had been can
yassed III respect to Mr.. Samuels, but the
late information is that it may exercise its
right to reject him. a CORES pondent has
asked THE CALL how it happens that
person Of so little influence as NJ. H. de
Young in local atfAirs should have so much
Influence in Chicago. Our correspondent
should remember that De Young was ap-
pointed National Commissioner for the
State Of California, and is also member of
the Board of Control. He is in position to
do considerable mischief if lie is not treated
with sumo show Of consideration. Director
General Davis evidently does not mean to
provoke his enmity. Ia Chicago the Clron-
tcie is supposed to have some influence on
the Pacific Coast, and its support of the fair

BRITAIN AND HER COLONIES.

Colonel Vincent member of the British
Parliament. recently made speech in Hal
flax, Nova Scotia, in which he said that a
differential customs duty between Great
Britain and all her colonies, as against the
world, would be of mutual benefit and
render the empire commercially independ-
ent of all other nations Colonel Vincent
declared that England was ready for such a
trade alliance and was only waiting for the
colonies TO meet her half way. Unrestricted
reciprocity with the United States, discrim-
mating against England, was in the speak
er's opinion contrary TO the dictates of
honor and justice. The English member of
Parliament reiterated the opinion often ex-
pressed in the United States, that Canada
could not well discriminate against the trade
Of an empire OF which she was part The
establishment Of a commercial union among
the different divisions OF the British Empire
would be necessary preliminary to the
British plan offederation which is the dream
OF a class OF British statesmen. There do
not seem insuperable obstacles in the wav
One Of the principal effects would be a tariff
tax on breadsiutfs and meats from foreign
countries, which would increase the cos. of
living until such time as the colonies might

need to import The measure of the growth

probably he exceeded under tie proposed
conditions, but it would be long time be-
lore England would get her wheat at as low
rates as nations with which she completes in
the manufacturing industries. Meantime
these competing nations would have GER
tain advantage over England In the struggle
for the markets of the world Colonel Vim
cent said also that the plan of differential
duties which he proposed would compel the
United States TO consent to n fair reciprocity
treaty. On this point the British member
Of Parliament is possibly mistaken. He as
sumes that the United States could not get
along without the English market for wheat,
and that rather than lose that market the
United States would open its own market
to British goods al rates lower than are i'm
posed on like goods from other countries.
There IS absolutely no ground for this as
sumption. So long as the worlds supply of
wheat at present prices is less than the
worlds demand, it will make little differ
enee with the United States whether it sells
Its surplus in England or elsewhere. If
England buys exclusively of Canada, Aus

THE 1MMIGRArToN CONVENTION.

A convention will be held in this city on
the oath inst. 10 consider measures TO bring
desirable Immigrants to California The
commercial and industrial organizations in
the city have joined in the call. but for one
reason or another but few interior counties
have reported the election of delegates.
There are thrty-eight counties, entitled
under the call 10 ia delegates, which have
as yet reported no action in the matter.
This non-action is probably the result of
Indifference. The value Of a large home
market does not seem to be fully appreci-
a;ed in California. So many of our prod
ucts find a market abroad that producers
dc not think it makes much difference to
them whether family lives in Caliiorp ia
or one Of the Eastern States. Our surplus
fruit is mostly consumed in the Eastern
cities and our wheat in Europe. 1t must be
admitted that at the present time California
is not in position to say to wage-w orkers
that they can better their condition by
coming TO this State. While we can offer
them better wages for a few months in the
year than they can earn East, our indus
tries are not yet in a condition to afford
assurance of steady employment. We are
heavy importers OF articles that might be
made in this State as cheaply as elsewhere,
but the utilization of our advantages re-
quires capital. Desirable immigration is
therefore limited to people who have a
stake in :he world-the very people in fact
who are the least inclined TO branch out.

SINGLE TAX.

The Star, commenting upon a recent
article in The CALL GU the consequences
of permitting ten and twenty millionaires
TO bequeath their properly TO single in
dividual, says: THE single tax alone can
peacefully and constitutionalIy cause the
retroceding of all earned and all other land
grants, limit ownership by raIlrOads-and
all other Ownerships-to use, tear up alien
0wnerships by the roots, and secure the
right of all working farmers and home
owners to keep their land beyond fear of
disturbance. so that whoever desires may
sit under his own vine and tg tree with
none to make him afraid.
A careful reading of the single-tax doc
trine, as laid down by Henry George and
other leaders, has not yet made clear the
processes by which the purposes 1t purp0rts
to have in view may be attained At the
foundation Of an ideal condition of society
would be the ownership of land in small
bodies by the men who till it. But under
the singlr-taX theory no man could occupy
land longer than lie could pay Government
taxes on it. There would be no ownership
in land except that which is conveyed by
the tax-receipt. Now. the condition of the
Government tenant-for such the occupant
of land would be-would depend largely
upon the amount of taxes he would be re-
quired TO pay. II the tax amounted to
more than rent under our present system, 1t
is not clear how the change proposed would
benefit the occupant of the land. What he
now calls rent, he would then call tax.
Under the single-taX system there would be
no tariff tax, no Internal revenue tax, no
license tax or other indirect tax Of any char
acter or description. The national, State
and municipal governments would all de-
rive their revenues from land. There is
waste III this system at the outset The
National Government now derives about
one-third of its revenue from a tax on
whisky-a tax, certainly, which is no hard
ship upon the people. This hundred and
odd millions would be RENTED to the dis
tiiler, and an equal sum taken from the
earnings of the tiller of the soil. In the
municipal department of government con-
siderable revenue is derived from licenses
While there are men who do not approve of
license tax on the ordinary branches Of
business. most men agree that some Of the
consequences of liQuOr-selling should be
collected from persons engaged in that bust
ness in the form of license. But the
single-taX man declines revenue from this
source; the land tiller would bear all the
expense Of government

NOT THE SAME AS FREE TRADE

Congressman Holman OF Indiana saws
that reciprocity is about the same thing as
free trade. 1t is the same with this differ
nee: Reciprocity provides for free trade in
things we DO not produce or do not produce
IN quantities large in comparison to i'm
ports. We let in tea and coffee free because
we produce neither. We let in sugar and
hides free because the home product is
small compared to the home consumption.
Reciprocity takes advantage of the fact that
We must import such products to demand
OF nations exporting them concessions
in the way of tariff rates on products we
have to export. We take Brazirs coffee and
Cuba's sugar without import duties and ask
these countries to take some OF our products
on the same terms. We either obtain abso-
lutte free admission for many Of our principal
products or such concessions that with for
mer duties in force against the products of
other countries we shall practically supply
their market For example, Cuba was al
lowed TO retain low duty on wheat and
maize, while admitting all other kinds of
grain free, but the duty is so low compared
to that exacted on wheat and maize from
other countries that we shall supply their
market, as completely as if there were no
duties at all. The duty on maize and corn
