Leclzy, the historian, writes in the
same magazine about ireland in the
light of History" The article is prin-
ciply remarkable for ignoring the land
question as cause of trouble. Mr.. Lecky
thinks the disturbed state of that coun-
try is primarily due to the fact that the
conquest of Ireland under Elizabeth
took place just after the reformation.
He says that the result of this was that
the conquerors became Protestants, and
the conquered remained Roman Catho-
lies, but that, nevertheless, all breaches
might have been healed by union of
the countries about 1900. He does not
explain how this could have reconciled
the religious differences.
The land question shows itself, nov
ertheless in such incidental phrases as
the following: "When population
pressed closely on subsistence the sys-
tenn of middlemen produced fierce
competition, which raised rent in the
lower grades to an enormous height"
1t would be more consistent were the
disturbances attributed to the owner
ship of the land by Protestants whose
tenants are Roman Catholics.

sessed a, four shillings on the pound
valuation. This tax, though Il fell
some years to only shilling on the
pound, remained in force until the time
of Pitt, who in 179s made il perpetual
and redeemable at four shillings on the
pound at the valuation of 1892. This
tax remains to this day; and. though
originally it was placed upon land ard
improvements, it has in the course of
time resolved itself into tax on eco,lo-
mic, or ground rent only, and the only
direct tax which that rent now bears IN
England. According TO the same Dugald
Stewart in 1896 Mr.. John Asgill in a
treatise entitled, '"Several assertions
proved in order to create another spe-
cies of money than gold and silver" adj
vocates the same opinion with respect
to territorial tax. This treatise was
in advocacy of land bank proposed
to the House of Commons in 1898 by "a
DIR. Hugh Chamberlayne. i will make
but brief quotation:
Man deals in nothing but earth. The
merchants are the factors of the world
to exchange one part of the earth for
another. The King himself is fed by
the labors of the OK; and the clothing of
the army and the victualing of the navy
must all be paid for to the owners of the
soil as the ultimate receivers.
Stewart also quotes Jacob Wander
bits pamphlet, Essay to make money
PLENTIFUL" published in 1884.
If all taxes were taken off goods, and
levied on lands and houses only, the gen.
tlemen would have more net rent left
out of their estates than they have now,
when taxes are almost wholly levied on
goods. That land gives all we have
would be self-evide III, if we did not i'm
port many goods which are the produce
of other nations. But this makes no
alteration in the case since the quantity
of foreign goods which we import can
not continually be of greater value than
the goods we export; because this in
the end must exhaust our cash, and so
put an end to that excess. Therefore,
the goods we import stand only instead
of those we export; and, consequently,
the land gives not only all we have of
our own produce, but ~ttually all we
receive from other natt.r1s. n
That the land must pay all taxes in what
manner soever they may be levied;
proposition which might perhaps be as
sumed as virtually implied in self-evi-
dent truth, that what gives all must
pay all.
Mr.. Vanderbilt goes on to elaborate
his views regarding taxation at length.
Thus, commencing with Locke, we have
really the crude presentation of the sim
gle tax upon land stated in the language
of that day. But there was soon to
arise in France school of economists,
the physiocrats, characterized by great
scholarship and wonderful intellectual
ability, unsurpassed in unselfish devo-
ton to humanity, which should bring
economies into scientific form, and
should urge with great earnestness and
power the import unique" or single
tax.-James Middleton, New Orleans,

ACoUNTRY CLUB.-The handsome new
home of the Union County Country Club
was opened to visitors on the last day
of the old year, and it is described as
one of the most attractive buildings of
the kind in that portion of New Jersey
lying adjacent to New York. Its casino
is one of the prettiest play-houses mag
Unable. and there are, in addition,
billiard-rooms. bowling alleys, tennis
courts and fine library, all furnished
in the most artistic and luxurious style.
One might suppose from all this that
the farmers of New Jersey are amaz.
ingly prosperous, but those who read
the description to the end found tackled
to it modest announcement that most
of the members of the club are New
York business men. When real country.
men can enjoy the privileges of country
clubs, even approximating this in con-
yenience and elegance, there will be
less complaint of the disposition of
farmers sons to come to the cities and
try to be business men.

Professor Tester of the medical fac

growth of Russian soil. and smould-
ering malady when not raging one.
The winter life OF the people in close
heated houses, the bad drainage of the

dition during the April thaw and the
iilthiness of the farm yards streets and
rivers, all tend to make this tho home
of influenza. The microbe of the dis
ease, in fact exists in the putrid mud
left by the river floods.

There's a good deal of

his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some
thing he has faith in back of
the guarantee. The business

Wall streets intimate relationship

Tho Great Benefits of Spraying.

Notwithstanding the many aud most posi-
tive proofs Of the great benefits resulting to
fruit and grape growers from spray ing, they
are thus far slow to avail themselves OF this
almost certain method of saving, increasing
and identifying the products of their
orchards and vineyards. 1t will not be dis
puted that the necessity for spraying, for
the destruction of insect pests that attack
tree fruits, is much greater than for the pro
lection of grape vines, whose worst enemies
are fungus diseases, but where these are very
prevalent, as in some seasons and sections
of the coun try, 1t is "slray and save the
crop or refrain from spraying and lose it,
as the rots and mildews canuot be prevented

The Department of Agriculture, during
the past three years, has devoted onsidera-
bic time to the study of fruit tree and vine
diseases. This division was the first agency
in this country to introduce the use of fun
gicides for grape diseases, and it is esti.
mated q result of its work that nearly five
thousand grape growers. in nearly all parts
of the country, treated their VINEYARDS for
mldew and black rot, in 1890. Probably in
no part of the United States was the spray
ing of the grape vines and fruit trees put 10
more of severe test than at Nauyoo, Ill
the past season. Nearly So, 0J0 was invested
there in spraying outfits and material The
results have proven so satisfactory that this
coming season almost every yintner and
orchardist in that section of the country will
have spraying outfit; in fact the spraying
outfits have become as much of a necessity
as the pillow farm.
1t is estimated that the extent of damage
done to the fruit trees and vines In the
JLited States by insects and fungus disease
each year will reach four hundred million
dollars; in which event it is time some
method was devised to avoid this heavy loss
which is most felt by the growers In years OF
scarcity. The scarcer the fruit is the more
