TEN OF THEM.

There is no lack of competition in the printing
trade in Savannah. and there is, therefore, no
excuse for merchants who have made or are
making their fortunes here sending their work
abroad
There are Ten printing offices in Savannah,
and they average about the same as similar
establishments in other cities
They give employment TO between 800 and 400
people. and, taking the usual computation, fur
nish bread for from 800 to 9, 400 mouths
Ninety-nine per cent. of that number are white
people. who contribute to the healthy growth
and general prosperity of the city.
It is true that these working people don t handle
naval stores rice or cotton, but they and their
fellow workmen buy clothes and food and pay
rent, which adds directly or indirectly, to the
prosperity OF the merchants
When the peace of the city is threatened these
men stand guard ready to do soldiers duty. in
defense of the lives and property Of their fellow
citizens.
There is not a line Of established business in
Savannah that cannot compete with similar
concerns abroad, and there is no excuse for the
man who sends his orders for clothes, shoes,
groceries aud printing. etc. away. when he can
by investigation Of prices find that he can do as
well at home.

Single Tax in Missouri.

The single tax men of Missouri are sc-
complishing wonders in 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 ha1c
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, biit
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 oa other important
committees. AS was shown by an item
printed in last weeks Standard, the
s,incle tax men 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 mem bers are free
traders. Mr.. Williams is one of the
clerks of the house, and he was APP
pointed to that position with full
knowledge of the fact that he is not
merely a single tax man, but the Mis-
souri, mem Der of the single tax national
committee.
1t is not to be wondered at that in q
state where the single tax movement is
| in the hands of such practical men, that
| the necessity for a state organization IS
becoming apparent. Whenever the
movement reaches that stage, stat,
committees ought to be formed; but'
on the other hand, it is folly to form,
! such committees where there is no local
activity. and where new tax on the
energies Of our scattered people must
fail to accomplish any great good
while divcrting money and effort from
the work already il progress under the
direction of the national committee,
