The Single Tax Principle.

The single tax idea is steadily com
mending itself to earnest thinking men
1t is rank injustice that man should
hold property vacant, with nominal
taxes, and gain the increment of value
produced by the improvements made by
his neighbors, who pay taxes upon
those improvements. The bed rock of
taxation is this: no tax on the products
of labor This principle is worldwide.
1t applies with equal force to the town,
the State, the Nation, the world. BY
its adoption labor would receive a
healthy stimulus, and would create
wealth as never before. Throughout
the world the burdens of taxation have
fallen upon abor and in all forms of
indirect taxation the burden falls with
almost equal weight upon all, regard
less of their circumstances. But place
this burden upon land values only and
at once the basis of taxation becomes
absolutely equitable, land speculation
becomes improbable, and the induce
ments to labor to place improvements
upon the land and to advance to its
more general ownership are vastly null
tiplied. Rapids Building and
Realty.

The Single Tax in Minneapolis, MINI.

c. J. Buell., of Minneapolis, writing
No the Standard, says: The single tax
is moving right along here. The fact
that Mayor p. b. Winston has Joined
our league has caused considerable
comment in the newspapers. Very
many of our leading business men here
are single takers; while as to the
masses of the people, have very little
doubt that they would give large ma
iority for the single tax, if the matter
could be presented to them on its mer-
its. In the meantime we are trying to
SO amend the constitution that the peo-
pie of any country or city, or of the
State at large, can vote upon the mat
ter. There are good many single tax
ers in the Legislature. The entire
Democratic contingent from this coun-
ty-nineteen in mum ber-with one pos
sible exception, will favor our bill, and
one of the two Republicans will also
favor us. Mayor Stivers, of Brainard,
who is in the House; also John Sheets,
of Todd County, Mr.. Bull, of Wright
County, and John A. Reyes of Winona,
are single takers. 1t was Reyes who
put through the Australian ballot law
two years ago, and he is now at work
on bill to apply the reform to the en-
tire State / don't know how many
other single takers there may be in the
House, but our bill is SO framed that
any opposition to it has got to deny the
Democratic principle of local self-gov-
eminent. We have great hopes of be
ing able to carry the measure through

Australia.

The Legislative Assembly of Queens
land has passed bill for the imposing
OF a tax of three pence on the pound on
capital land values, irrespective of inn
provements. The upper House, how
ever. threw out the bill on the second
reading This is the first start of the
single tax in Queensland, and good
one it is. The landlords of the upper
chamber may resist for little while,
but will soon have to give way.
Sir Henry Parks for the Government
of New South Wales has introduced a
most sweeping elective reform bill,
which provides for all that the most
thorough Democrats have asked. It
gives female suffrage, provides for
single electoral district, abolishes
property qualifications and cumulative
voting, does away with hustling nomi-
nations, provides stringent provisions
against fraud, and compels the closing
of liquor saloons on election day.
The bill also admits the military and
police to the franchise. This is the
most sweepingly radical measure that
has ever yet been proposed, but it is like
~ that it will go through The Govern
ment have not yet announced specially
their financial proposals, but they have
limited at sweeping reductions to the
tariff and the imposing of taxes on land
values and on property to supply the
loss on customs revenue. The single
tax men welcome the proposition but
viii fight the property tax.
The single tax men throughout Aus
tralia seem to be in the highest spirits.

humiliation of Time.

The utter humiliation of time and
space by electricity was never better
illustrated than by an incident which
occurred on the coast of India, where
two English ships We're repairinga telc-
graph cable near Bombay. The two
ships were but half mile apart; one
of them holding the shore end of the
cable in close communication with
Bombay. the other having the sea end.
which was connected with Alden. 1t
became necessary for the two ships 20
communicate with each other in order
to complete their work: this was done
by one of them telegraphing to Bombay
and thence around to Alden. and the
other from Alden around to Bombay.
Thus as speedy means of sending
messages Il half mile they We're sent
around by a route nearly four Thousand
miles in length.-Chicago Tribune.

An Amusing Economist.

The Peoria 1ll.) Journal prints, with
editorial commentator, communica-
ton from Eli c. Lisk. Mr.. Lisk de-
c1ares that the farmer now pays ninety
two per cent. of the taxes of this coun-
try. One reason for this is, that ''all
his property lies open to the assessor
and it all goes on the assessors books,
whereas the rest of the community,
manufacturers and merchants excepted,
have their wealth laid aside in their
drawers and safes and can not be seen
by the assessor but he has to depend
on their word alone for the correctness
of their listed property" Mr.. Lisk is a
little foggy in his English, but his
meaning is quite clear, and he sensloly
declares that this mode of assessment
is all wrong" What do our readers
suppose is the remedy Mr.. Lisk pro-
poses? 1t is to exempt land entirely
from taxation and assess improvements
and personal property alone. OF course
he suggests new and drastic methods
for ascertaining the amount of bonds
and mortgages, etc, held by each lndl-
vidual, and equally, of course, fails to
remember that those concerned have a
perfect right to remove themselves and
their possessions out of any State adopt
ing such law. Having started out by
showing that personal property can not
be equitably taxed, he insists that it
alone shall be taxed. The Peoria Jour
nal sapiently remarks that lit win be
observed that the writer does not
espouse the theories espoused by Henry
George, but, on the contrary, takes just
the opposite view" Yes, this will be
observed

Although the great strikes nnve result
ed in much loss, they have done great
deal to call the public attention to the
social problem The Government OF
New South Wales has appointed
Royal Commission to take evidence and
report upon the cause of the conflict be-
tween labor and capital, and the best
means of preventing labor disputes
Several single tax men have been
named on this commission, Mr.. Frank
Cotton being of the number Rev.
DIR. Roseby, of Sydney, Chairman of
Congregational Union, the leading man
of the Congregational clergy of New
South Wales, has delivered an address
upon the relations of Christianity to the
social question which has attracted
much attention. He declares that it is
hopeless 70 attempt to elevate men so
long as they are placed in conditions
where their integrity is impossible.
Hence the most urgent reform is the adj
justment of the land laws on the basis
of justice to all

SINGLE TAX DEPARTMENT.
FARMERS AID TIE SINGLE TAX.

Waiter Au;r. Frcsid~,t of the North Da-
kota State Farmers Alliance. Writing to
the New York Journal
A roodly number of single tax men
we're among the delegates to the recent
Farmers Convention at Ocala- Fla,
where / represented North Dakota. A
resolution would have been i~'-Sented
Ut the convention favoring the single
tax had VIC been sure that the members
were not N want of thorough infornAa-
ton on the subject
am single tax man. and recon-
mended il to our people in this State
i would not do this if | held to the be-
lief that the single tax would increase
the burden of the farmer. That is a
myth that viii be exploded among the
farmers in IA few more months of edu-
cational work.
Then they win see, as the Knights OF
Labor have long seen, that a single tax
levied solely on the value of land, ire
specrive of improvements, can not bur-
den worker, be he farmer mechanic,
or professional man.
The adoption of the single tax by the
Colored Farmers Alliance is but an in
Gication of what is coming. When the
farmers of the country take up the
single tax there will be such an awaken
ing as this country has never seen. 1t
will be greater than the anti-slavery
movement because it will not be Sec
tional.
The man who is riding the storm of
rural discomfort is Henry George.
Once the single tax is ''platformed, .
there will be a fighting issue that will
wipe out all past issues of race. section
and religion. The farmers of to-day
are not the farmers of twenty years
ago. This time they are going to the
root of our social troubles. They are
coming to see that all other reforms are
fruitless if monopoly and speculation
are permitted in land-the source of all
wealth. The eastern farmer needs the
single tax just as much as the western.
If it were not SO the single tax would
be but a local and temporary expedient
of relief. The farmers are liberty
loving class, and the single tax, in levy.
ing no tax on the products of labor, and
in giving to individualism the freesi
| scope, feeds their aspirations for free
| dom.

is not exactly natural to an English
man to back out when there is any fight
ing in prospect SO l accept your propo-
sition. This gentleman on my right
will perhaps act as my second"
The man alluded TO was the one he
had walked home with week before.
and he agreed to act for Percy. Then
Lowell pondered for moment before he
proceeded to name his opponent. Each
Of the Spaniards stood eying him as
much as to say: ''Oh, please take me;
would like to spill little of your cold
English blood on the fertile plains of
this Republic: only give me the chance -
The coolest of the lot was Mr.. limerick,
who seemed as unconcerned and indif-
ferent as Lowell himself. But Percy was
not considering whom he should fight;
on that point his mind was fully made
up, He had other thoughts in his mind.
He seemed, as ii were in trap. He
knew full we'll that if he further incur
red the anger OF these men he might
never leave the place alive, and his body
might float out on the next tide to the
ocean. 1t was a bold break he was
about to make, but it meant a great
deal If he was to be killed, he wanted
to know who killed him. If he killed.
he proposed to know whom he had
killed He stood erect, his enemies be-
ing on one side the table and himself on
the other.
Looking Mr.. limerick straight in the
eyes he riveted that gentleman's gaze
in such a manner that there was no es-
cape Then in a clear, calm voice he
uttered the words: Leon TeIasguez,
will fight you"
But If Mr.. limerick was indeed We
