1,IpERIAL FEDERATIoH.

The latest expressions of opinion in re-
spect to the plan Of imperial federation
from Australia are not so favorable as was
at one time reported. Mr.. Francis Adams
has returned to England from a tour through
the distant British colonies, and he says
that EnglanPs dream Of imperial fedora
ton is vain as far as the Colonies are con-
eeTned. Australia apparently has other
views than to be a producer of raw material.
Her statesmen know that the world over it
is the manufacturing nation that gets rich
and powerful. The simply agricultural
nation can never be really independent, as
it must be indebted to foreign countries for
nearly all the comforts Of life. Agriculture
dnd manufactures combined, as in the
United States, afford the greatest element
of strength. a nation that eau live COM
tortably within itself is comparatively free
from the raYages of war Though foreign
powers may possess the ocean, such ma
ton finds substitutes at home for the things
it has been in the habit of buying abroad.
If all the ports of the United States should be
closed, it would not be long before we
would produce our own tea, coffee, sugar
and some kinds of spices. We might be pul
TO some Inconvenience, and in some re-
spects have to put up with an article inferior
to that imported, but we would want for
nothing that is really necessary to physical
well being. With free trade between Aus
tralia and England, the former would never
become manufacturing nation. At best it
would only produce the coarser varieties of
goods, of which it furnishes the raw mate
rial The English manufacturers would
send almost everything to the distant En-
glish colonies except what the earth pro-
.duced. The British ZOllYerein, which has
been discussed in Canada, finds no favor in
Australia. Almost every argument against
imperial federation applies with equal force
to any plan for commercial union.

LABOR DAY.

Dispatches from Eastern cities show that
the celebration of Labor day extends all
over the country. A complaint comes from
New York of the inconvenience of legal
holiday, but the day seems to have been
generally observed for all that. In this
city the celebration was all that could be
desired. The procession was larger than
ever before, the number in line being esti-
mated at 5000. The interest the people gen.
orally take in the day was shown by the
crowds which thronged the sidewalks. The
third division, composed entirely of printers,
was 600 strong. The circumstance that
bat day intervenes between Labor day and
Admission day did not seem to have much
effect upon the La5or-day demonstration.
Labor day is for all time, while. in the
course of years, pretty much the entire
population OF California will be Native

SINGLE tax ONCE MORE.

Ex-Judge Mcguire has answered two
questions THE CALL put to single tax al
vocates. and in so doing has thrown c0nsld-
cradle light upon the plans and purposes oil
this organization. Mr.. Mcguire shows that
the sum of S., 323, AIS "a was required
of san Francisco in 1856 for Federal, State
and city purposes. Mr. Mcguire continues;
THE assessed value of land in San Fran
cisco for that year. exclusive OF improve
nents, was $50, $50, 596. Assuming that
this was the true value of the land, tax OF
four and 0ne-tenth per cent would yield
surplus of more than S64, 900, while tax of
3 per cent on the actual selling vaiue-fOr 1t
was assessed at less than 70 per cent of its
actual selling yalue-wOuld yield surplus
of S2S7, 97S A." The single tax proposition
then is to levy tax of per cent on the pres
emit assessed value of land. While Mr.. Ma
gure has taken San Francisco as an illustra-
ton his method would apply 20 agricultural
counties as well. Whether the tax on land
in such counties would be little more or
little less than per cent, taxing the country
through, is not material to the argument.
Landowners then, whether in town or
country, are to be required to pay tax of
per cent on the assessed value of their
holdings. The first result would be a
tumble in prices. TIE margin between the
tax and the rental value would be too small.
Owners of a Blythe estate might stand
the fall, but it would be hard
on men who have a few thousand
dollars inveSt ted in land. Real property
does not pay on an average more than from
to Is per cent uet-peThaps g per cent in
Guiding present taXes-and an increase OF
tax to per cent would reduce the income
from land below the average value of
money The effect would be a depreciation
of the kind of property that bad become IN
profitable. Take for example 100-acre
farm, valued without Improvements at $50
an acre-S5C0O. The tax at per cent
would be 500. Five thousand dollars in
money would command a revenue Of $500
a year. But the owner of $500 farm
would not consider the 800 left alter taxes
were paid compensation for his money. II is
farm Yould be for sale at much less than
5000. The depreciation in value in town
or country cannot be closely estimated As
the valup decreased the levy would neees-
sarily be increased. While the single tax
would play havoc with land values we do
not see where the tiller of the soil can ex-
pect benefit. He must every year sell

required to meet all the expenses of govern
ment. The taxes might be greater than the
present rental and possibly less. Ultimate
results would be largely matter for con-
lecture. Mr.. Mcguire does not construe
the term "tillable land" as including land
in cities held at nigh value for business
purposes. THE CALLS question to which
reply is made includes all land that might
be cultivated if it were net worth more for
other purposes. The assessed value of such
city land is therefore part of the basis of
the calculation rs to the per cent of tax on
land or land values that would be necessary
under the single tax system.

THE BELLAnIY PLAN.

The Bellamy plan is better as theory
than as a practice. There is something
lacking either in the plan or in human
nature that keeps the thing from running
smoothly. If human nature could be re-
constructed to order the plan might produce
better results. Some time since the Decatur
Cooperative Housekeeping Club started out
in fine style. The novelty of the thing Sc
cured a good deal Of advertising, especially
among papers devoted to household affairs.
Women saw in the plan an emancipation
from the cares of housekeeping while still
retaining all the comforts Of home. But
the Bethany boarding-house has closed its
doors. The twelve families that formed the
original organization dropped out one by
one. Some went to ordinary boarding
houses, while others set up establishments
of their own. They still hold that the plan
was good one and onght to have worked.
They do not exactly know why, but they
concluded TO go back to the old way The
weak point Of these community plans is that
they are models Of perfection. while human
nature is full of faults. Men and women
work for themselves and those they love
with more heart than they work for CON-
munity. When woman will make as great
a sacrifice for some other woman's child. on
the ground of humanity, as she will for her
own, Bellamy housekeeping may become
possible.
