Jay T. Adams, who last fall invested
$40, 900 in Santa Fe real estate in behalf
of Colorado capitalists, is now at San An
tonic, Texas, where lie has done much to
introduce outside capital and improve
that city. He writes friend here to
say that he is deeply interested in
the matter of CITY incorporation
and says if it is carried on to success he
will make his home in Santa Fe. Mr..
Adams is power among western invest
ors. His coming here would mean the
investment of at least 100000 of outside
capital. Here's another straw showing
what incorporation is likely to bring to
Santa Fe.

Hidden Dangers.

Young man, are you total abstai

it is by neglecting to use the powe
refrain that the power is lost; that
confidence with an underestimate of

undermining power of alcohol, is
hidden rock upon which the 2
mass of drunkards have made
wreck of life. In the absence of ten

The Greatest of Monopolies.

But all other monopolies are trivial
in extent as compared with the monop-
DIV of land. And the value of land ex-
pressing monopoly, pure and simple,
is in every respect fitted for taxation
That is to say. while the value OF a
railroad or telegraph line, the price OF
gas or of a patent medicine. may eX-
press the price of monopoly, it also eN-
presses the exertion of labor and capt.
tai, but the value of land, or economic
rent. as we have seen, is in no part
made up from these factors, and eN-
presses nothing but the advantage OF
appropriation. Taxes levied upon the
value of land can not check production
in the slightest degree. until they eN-
coed rent, or the value of land taken an
nually, for unlike taxes upon commodi-
ties, or exchange, or capital or any OF
the tools or processes of produce
ton, they do not bear upon pro-
duction. The value of land
does not express the reward Of produce
ton, as does the value of crops, OF cat
tie, of buildings, or any of the things
which are styled personal property and
improvements. 1t expresses the ex-
change value of monopoly. 1t is not in
any case the creation of the individual
who owns the land; it is created by the
growth of the community. Hence the
community can take it all without in
any way lessening the incentive to inn
provement or in the slightest degree
lessening the production of wealth.
Taxes may be imposed upon the value
of land until all rent is taken by the
State, without reducing the wages of
labor or the reward of capital one iota;
without increasing the price of single
commodity, or making production in
any way more difficult.
But more than this. Taxes on the
value of land not only do not check pro-
duction as do most other taxes, but they
tend to increase production, by destroy.
ing speculative rent. How speculative
rent checks production may be seen not
only in the valuable land withheld
from use, but in the paroxysms of in
dustrial depressions. which, originating
in the speculative advance in land
values, propagate themselves over the
WHOLE clVlIlLeu WORTH every WHERE
paralyzing industry. and causing more
waste and probably more suffering than
would general war Taxation which
would take rent for public uses would
prevent this, while if land were taxed
to anything near it's rental value, no one
could afford to hold land that he is not
using, and, consequently, land not in
use would be thrown open to those who
would use it. Settlement would be
closer, and, consequently, labor and
capital would be able to produce much
more with the same exertion. The dog
in the manager, who, in this country es
pecially, so wastes productive power
would be checked off.-Progress ant
Poverty.

A Case of Unearned Increment.

New LONDON, Ct, Jan. 22.-At the
outbreak of the civil war there was To-
Gated in Augusta, Ca, business man
named Daniel Hand. He was the son
of New England farmer and had been
settled in Augusta for many years. Not
sympathizing with the Southern cause,
he found it profitable and advisable to
sell his stock of goods. real estate and
other property and return to his old
home in Guilford, Ct. Butsthere was
one piece of tract of Georgia
pine land-which he did not sell, for the
reason that he looked on it. as prac-
tically unstable and valueless. This
pine land he left in the care of his part
ner, Mr.. Williams.
AS the war progressed Mr. Hand was
in his quiet home in the little New Eng
land village, away from the sounds Of
strife and scenes of bloodshed, and took
no concern for the Georgia pine lands.
With the return of peace came renewed
prosperity and an influx of Northern
capital to the South. The value OF
land in Georgia began to rise, and pine
land proved no exception to the rule.
Still Mr.. Hand was careless and ignor-
ant of what was going on. He had
made plenty of money to live on and
did not have to trouble himself about
his pine lands in the South.
1t my memory serves me, it was some
time in 1885, twenty-five years or SO
after he had left his Georgia store,
that Mr.. Hand receiveda letter from his
farmer partner, Mr.. Williams, stating
that he had succeeded in finding a pur-
chaser for that tract of pine land that
they had considered valueless. Mr..
Williams also stated that as sale had
| been effected, and that on account of
such sale Mr.. Hand had standing to his
credit in bank and subject to his order
the nice little sum of seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars
This appears to me to be pretty
clear case of the pocketing of an I'M
earned increment. AS far as Mr. Hand
personally was concerned that tract of
land had practically ceased to exist.
His whole interest in it had gone out of
his mind entirely.
And yet while he was at his home in
Guilford, Ct, passing his old age peace
fully and happily, utterly oblivious OF
the whole matter, S750,OOO were accu-
mulating for his special benefit.
TO Mr.. Hands credit it ought to be
said-which, however, in no way breaks
the force of the story-that he has in
vested the whole sum and placed it in
the hands of trustees to be used as /,
perpetual fund for to defray the edu-
cational expenses of worthy colored
students in the Southern States: hut
this only shows how much the commun-
ity could have for public use and bene-
tits If no individual We're allowed to
pocket what he did not create.-W. C.
Miner.

The Faithful Mother.

DR.. Talmage, in recent sermon re-
counting his journeying in Palestine, de-
scribed the scene of the tragedy wherein
seven youths were put to death and their
bodies gibbeted or hung in chains, and
burial was denied them from May until
November. He told the pathetic story
of Rizpah, the mother of two of these
dead boys, who from her tent on the rock
close by the gibbets, kept up continu-
Gus, tireless watch by day and by night
during all these months, to guard the
seven corpses from the vultures, wolves
and lions He then said:
fright here in these three cities by
the American seacoast there are thou
sand cases this moment worse than that
Mothers watching boys that the rum
saloon, that annex of hell, has gibbeted
in a living death. Boys hung in chains
of habit they cannot break. The father
may go to sleep after waiting until
twelve O'Clock at night for the ruined
boy to come home, and give it up. He
may say: Mother, come to bed: there's
no use in sitting up any longer But
mother will not go to bed. 1t is one
o'clock in the morning. 1t is half-past
one. 1t is two o'clock. tits half-past
two, when he comes staggering through
the hall. DO you say that young man
is yet alive? No; he is dead Dead
to his fathers entreaties; dead
to his mothers prayers; dead to
the family altar where he was reared;
dead to all the noble ambitions that once
inspired him. Twice dead-only a
corpse of what he once was. Gibbeted
before God and man and angels and
devils. Chained in death that will not
loosen its cold grasp. His father is
asleep, his brothers are asleep, his Sis
tiers are asleep, but his mother is watch
ing him, watching him in the night.
After ne has gone up to bed and fallen
into drunken sleep his mother will 90
up to his room and see that he is proper
ly covered, and before she turns out the
light will put kiss upon his bloated
lips. Mother, why don't you 90 to
bed?' 'Ah!' she says, Il can not 20 to
