BARRIERS are not partial to seeing
ladies come into the shop to get their
hair cut. for no matter how pretty the
dear creatures look after having their
hair cut. they never look as well as they
did before. and their first look in the
glass makes the fact apparent to them,
and they invariably blame the barber
for it-claim it was not cut rs they
directed. 1t is fact that about nine
out of ten bald-heaSed men are all the
time looking for something to make the
hair GROW. but You never heard of a
barber investing a cent for that pul'-
pose. and another thing that is just
notion and just as senseless as to sup
nose that the hair can be restored to a
bald head without the use of a wig and
that is that bay rum is beneficial to the
face. If you want a good face dress
irp after shaving use hot soft water.
Nothing else is as good.-Lincoin Jour
nal.

The Greatest of MonopoIies.

But all other monopolies are trivial
in extent as compared with the monop-
oily of land. And the value of land ex-
pressing a 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 patent medicine, may ez--
press the price of monopoly, it also ex-
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 ex-
presses nothing but the advantage of
appropriation. Taxes levied upon the
value of land can not check production
in the slightest degree, until they ex-
ceed 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 produc-
ton. they do not bear upon pro
duction. The value of land
does not express the reward of produc-
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
'owth Of the community. Hence the

ness is as good as usual" was the ready
response.
And where is your son to-day?"
HE has just gone to put the horse

moments"
Upon hearing this reply Mr.. Blodger
seated himself on an upturned cracker
barrel and resumed: Mrs. Breezy, that
son of yours is very industrious
young man and is sure to prosper
Yes, he works very hard" asserted
the lady, but it is uphill work and
there is a great deal to contend with in
running a store
II don't doubt it, for 1 have had my
own experience and know what it IS;
still perseverance will overcome every
thing, and many hindrance have I
found ir my way" said Mr.. Blodger.
Did l understand you to say that
you were once in the soap business?"
asked Mrs. Breezy.
Yes, ma'am, until recent years /
was engaged in the manufacture of that
very useful and necessary commodity"

community can take 1t all without In
any way lessening the incentive to i'm
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
la Dor 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 civilized world everywhere
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 and

A Case of Unearned Increment.

NEW LONDON, Ct, Jan. 22-At the
outbreak of che civil war there was To-
Gated in Augusta, Ga, 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. But there was
one piece of property-at tract of Georgia
pine 1and-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, a 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.
If 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 received letter from his
farmer partner, Mr.. Williams, stating
that he had succeeded in finding pur
chaser for that tract of pine land that
they had considered valueless. Mr..
Williams also stated that as a 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 a 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,O00 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; but
this only shows how much the cOmmun-
ity could have for public use and bene-
fits if no individual were allowed to
pocket what he did not create.-W. c.

A NEW LINCOLN ANECDOTE.
Old Abe Left the MILESTONE on the Gate
Post.

| Old Abe Left the milestone on the Gate
Post.
Abraham Lincoln was perhaps the
best man in the country in his day to
remember men and to place them with
| out hesitation in the environment where
he last saw them. He was first of all a
politician, and the politician who for
gets is lost. When he was a compare
lively young man and candidate for
the Illinois legislature he took dinner
with Sangamon county farmer, and
after the meal the two stood at the
barnyard gate talking and whiting.
Lincoln's knife needed sharpening, and
the Yankee in him prompted him to
sharpen il. He walked to a tool-box
the farmer had nailed just inside the
wagon-shed, took from it milestone
and came back to the great gate,
where he stood again and be-
gan sharpening his knife. One
post of the gate was very high
and a rod from the top supported the
extended weight of the gate. A man
came along the road in a wagon, going
in the direction Lincoln wanted to
travel, and he babe his host good-by
and clambered in the venicle-intent,
Years afterwards, when he was presi-
dent, soldier came to call upon him
at the White House, and at the first
sight the gaunt chief executive said:
Eyes, remember you. You used to
live on the Danville road. l took din
ner with you one time when was run
ming for the legislature. Recollect we
stood together out at the barnyard
gate, and 1 sharpened my knife?"
"Ya-as," drawled the farmer soldier,
land wherever did you put that whet-
stone? ! have looked the whole place
over dozen times, but l never could
find it after the day you used it. We
lowed, mebby, you had took it along
with you"
No. said Lincoln, looking serious
as if the matter were as important as
the recent defeat OF Pemberton, mo,
put it on top of that gate post-the high
one"
"Well!' exclaimed the visitor, 'meb-
by you did. Couldn't nobody else have
put it there, and none of us ever thought
to look there for it."
He went on home and when he got
there one of the first things he did was
to climb up on the gate and look for the
milestone. 1t was there, right where
it had lain for fifteen years. The hon.
est fellow, adoring his chief, wrote a
letter before his furlough expired, tell
ing the president the milestone was
found and would never be lost again
