ALL1ANCEMEN AND THeIRLEAO
Frs.

MANY Alliancemen have been so
thoroughly drilled that they have i'm
plicit confidence in their leaders. They
have such implicit confidence In some
of their leaders that it amounts almost
to worship-there are some Alliance
men that appear to have more conf
dence in Col. Polk than they have In
God. This confidence has been built
up by such leaders declaring and con
stantly ~reiterating that both old parties
are thoroughly corrupt" says the Kin
ston Free Press.
We do not reproduce this for the pur-
pose of trying to weaken the logic of
the article. The Free Press evidently
has hit the nail on the head. Alliance
men knO1U that the parties are as o
rupt as hell itself, and if a man don't
| want to be known as a second Ananias
he will say so. However, the parties
could be reformed if they were not I'M
der the management of men who are
rapidly sinking them deeper and deeper
into the ceEspool of corruption. Hon
est control" or Ownership is what
they need. How would government
ownership" strike you? IF the great
mass of voters could get charge there
would be more honesty.

STRANGE VOICES IN THE EAST,

Alusion has been made more than
once in these columns to the tremend
GUS flood of reform literature now del
uging the country, especially in the
South and West.
These papers, pamphlets and books
present the peoples side of the econO-
mic questions of the day. Many of
them are crudely written, but they
show an earnest purpose, a love of JUS
tice and more or less knowledge of the
case, combined with arguments which
the opponents of reform have not an
swered to the satisfaction of the aver
age citizen.
Until quite recently these publica-
tions had few readers in the East. That
section has been almost entirely con-
trolled by the views of the privileged
classes-the owners of great fortunes,
who are interested in molding the pol
icy of the government to promote the
welfare of the few at the expense of the
many.
But within the past year strange
voices have been heard in the East, and
the common people hear them gladly.
Even in Boston, where the newspa
pers, less than two years ago, spoke OF
the Alliance movement as an impOr.
tant affair confined to a few country
people in the benighted South and the
wild West, the reformers have gained
a foothold, and in the very citidal Of

The Single Tax.

The single tax is tax on land, re-
gardless of its improvements and in
proportion to its value. 1t implies the
abolition of ali other forms of taxation,
and the collection of the public reve-
nues from this source alone. 1t would
be certain, because land values are most
easily appraised; wise, because, by dis
couraging the withdrawal of land from
use and encouraging its improvements,
it would expand opportunities for labor,
augment wealth, and increase the re-
wards of industry and thrift; equal,
because every one would pay taxes in
proportion to the value of the land, OF
right the common property of all. which
he appropriated to his own use; and
Just, because it would fall not upon Ia
Dor, enterprise and thrift, but upon the
value of a special privilege. 1t is more
fully explained in the single tax plat
form in another column: and in Prog.
ress and Poverty" by Henry George.
Every point is discussed and every OBJ
lection answered.

Lenzing was the name of the place
where we sought refuge, made up en-
tirely of the farm belonging to pros
porous peasant He welcomed us when
we had dragged our boats beyond the
reach of the savage waves, and took us
into his big dwelIing-room, which was
like baronial hall Here was space
for fifty people to sit and feast or have
a romp. Substantial rafters made the
ceiling; the tables and benches were of
wood we'll scrubbed. He offered us
beer, and then his wife gave us bowls
of milk fresh from the COW and strong
country bread, all the while entertain
ing us as invited guests While the
storm ragged we inspected the premises
with great interest, for one roof covered

well as family and servants The ante

Would have graced a monastery.
Their eating and drinking troughs
were of stone; their wants were minis
tered to by two as dainty and graceful
maidens as ever figured in a pastoral,
and such was the behavior of these
animals that no well-regulated house,
keeper could have objected to them as
fellow dodgers The verauda that
passed the dining hall continued past
the stables, wherein were about a dozen
horses and twice as many cows The
manure was shovelled across this walk
and stacked up Immediately near it,
and yet this veranda was the agreeable
gathering place of warm evening.
As we chatted, two colts, few weeks
old. walked up and about us, nibbled
their noses affec.ionately against each
of us in turn, and played with the big
watch dog as happily as if all three
were pups in the same litter. With
such evidence of kind treatment is it a
wonder that their live stock is gentle
and willing?
We asked our host If he found no ILL
effects from so much manure beneath
his window. and he assured us that he
considered it wholesome. He certainly
appeared healthy, and his household as

spirits, generous with his substance; q
