Why are Wages High or Low7

: Look over the world to-day. In-coun-
tries the most widely differing-under
conditions the most diverse as to gov
eminent. as to industries, as to tariffs,
as t. cArrency-you will find distress
among the working classes; but every
where that you thus find distress and
destitution in the midst of wealth, You
will find that the land is monopolized;
that instead of being treated as the
common property of the whole people,
it is treated as the private propsrty of
individuals: that, for its use by labor,
large revenues are extorted from the
earnings of labor. Look over the world
to-day, comparing different countries
with each other, and you will see that
it is not the abundance of capital or the
productiveness of labor that makes
wages high or low; but the extent to
which the monopolizers of land can, in
rent, levy tribute upon the earnings of
labor. Is it not a notorious fact, known
to the most ignorant, that new coun-
tries, where the aggregate wealth is
small, but where land is cheap, are-al-
ways.hetter countries for theslaboring
classes than the rich countries?-Pro-

Abolish Paper.

The st. Louis Post Dispatch has evil
IDENTIFY learned nothing from the wide
spread discussion of the Question of
taxation. 1t admits that the present
system IS unscientific and unjust
and imposes unequal burdens. Taxa
ton, it says, falls almost entirely upon
real estate and live stock, Implements
and products of industry and does not
touch incomes or inheritances, while il
fails to reach those forms of personal
property which constitute the vast
wealth of the usurers and plutocrats."
The Post-Dispatch, however, insists
that it does not follow that the bad sys-
TEN of personal property taxation can
be improved by abolishing such taxes.
1t declares that the demand of the Chi
cago papers for entire exemption from
what they call the ''odious and unjust
personal property tax is progress to-
ward Henry Georges Single Tax idea,"
which it declares simply means the
imposition of the whole revenue burden
upon land and labor, upon renters and
the consumers of the earth's annual
products" Such a system, it says, would
make the poorest Iaborer as big a
taxpayer as the biggest capitalist. We
hope that the Post Dispatch will take
the trouble to explain how a tax on land
values is going to fall on labor The
vast majority of laborers are now rent
ers of land. with the possible exception
of farmers, most of whom pay the
equivalent of rent in interest on mort
cages. As the landlords are now OBJ
tanning from such people every penny
that can be exacted through com.
petition for thelaise of land. we think il
will bother the St. Louis paper to
show how the taking of portion. or
even the whole, of this rent, through
taxation, is going to enable the land
lord to charge any more. and thus shift

Mr.. George on Australia.

Henry George has an article on Aus
tsalia In the Cosmopolitan for January
10 which he, says: Here is . country
with a. large an area as our own, and
hut one-twentieth of our population.
They have the Australian ballot; they
have responsible government; they
haves p peEmment, non-p6htical civil
service; they have a. most admirable
and simple system of land registration
end transfer; they have government
ownership and operation Of railroads
and telegraphs. Trades-unionism has
with them reached more powerful
development than anywhere else, and
they have come nearer to the adoption
Of tho eight-hour working day. They
have Stato@tatisticians that shame our
National and State bureaus, and they
have carried paternalism in some re-
spects to q length unknown in any
other English country. They
have, too the same social and economic
problems They have great public
debtA They have land monopoly In
gigantic form. They have had land
Especulations that wonld equal, If not
surpass those of any boom town of
cur West. And for it follows) they
have their unemployed their charity
organizations, and strikes, that in
relative magnitude and Importance, are
the greatest that have anywhere yet
taken place"
This is lesson for the Socialist. With
far more than we have of what the So
cialist cries for, labor troubles are worse
than with us, and S. O5 per cent. of the
population is in the cities. The reason
of the excellence of the Government is
perhaps explained in later remark:
Fortunate above all other countries
Australia has never known war
Wakefeld's plan of colonization by
selling the land SO high that the poor
could not buy it and using the, proceeds
to assist emigration is described 80
Mr.. George gives a short and enter
tanning lesson in geography, with map.
To those who are long from school the
facts seem fresh Intelligent apprecia-
ton of institutions requires ability and
constitutes the MAIN interest ofsthia
paper. Mr.. George thinks the Austria
iansare much like the Americans.

an excellent portrait Of Nc George It

He further says that il tho city has the
power to raise its taxes in such manner
rs it sees fit, it would certainly be
YFuAtsble for B6ston- TO levy it's taxes
less on credits and other forms of per-
sonal property than is done at pres

to raise soma portion Of the eOo, geo

but it would unquestionably decrease
eAxetiPK Psether forms Of personal

tAAtithe. city should have the right to
-
public character now commonly in
trusted to private entefprize. He thinks
the city probably would not exercise
these powers, but its possession of them
would enable it to make better terms
with individuals and corporations seek
ing municipal privileges. Here again,
we have the clear Discrimination made
by Mayor Sargent, Of New Haven,
between the resumption by government
Of public functions and duties and the
assumption Of the management of pri-
vate enterprises. We have not been in
tho habit, in the past, of looking to the
the Mayors message for the elucidation
of politico-economic problems. but the
growing difficulties of municipal
managememts and the Increasing bur
dens Of taxation on urban populations
is forcing all intelligent men concerned
into a serious consideration of such
problems.
There appears to be q note of regret
in the allusion in the message to tho
ta)dae away by the State of the COM
mon law rights, once, possessed by
AUDITORS, in the soil of the highways of
thecity. Does theinayor imagine that
there are many Owners of land lying
along the street railways OF Boston
who have suffered pecuniarily by the
construction of such lines7 we doubt
II many instances of the kind could be
f6und The real sufferers are the poo
pie of Boston, who rightfully own it's
streets, and whose property has been
taken from them by the State and given
over to private individuals to be used
for their personal profit. The result is
that the people thus robbed are now
taxed ON the products Of their labor to
meet public expenses that ought to be
met out Of public revenue. of which
the city has been unjustly deprived.
