MILL N FRY.

Owing, no doubt, to the Columbian celebration, the millinery market has shown but few new goods, but such as has appeared have been placed on our counters. One or two of the new shapes, we believe, will be especially popular, they being neat and dressy without going up into the high prices. Come in and see them.

Coal Baron and Farmer.

As. it is proposed to apply the single
tax system to farm as well as coal lands,
let me add that the change would prob
ably be welcomed by the farmer, for
the reason that under it he, too, would
be assessed only on the value of his land,
as indicated by the highest amount his
farm would rent for annually is stripped
of all its improvements, including build
ings, fences, etc.
As the ordinary farm with improve
ments will rent very low to-day, the
average farmer will see that his farm
assessment and tax would be greatly re-
duced under this modern tax system,
while, besides enjoying freedom from
taxation on personal property and inn
provements, as well as from all tariff
taxes on his supplies, his coal, which
now costs him five to ten dollars ton,
would, on account of the effect of the
single tax on mining lands, be reduced
to probably two to four dollars.
Tariff reform promises to reduce the
cost of the farmers manufactured sup
plies. The single tax promises to GO
further in the same direction by giving
the farmer his iron, coal and oil at much
lower prices than he ever paid.-James
BARLEY, in N. Y. World.

But underneath is the fact that raw ma
terials for the production of all forms OF
wealth are treated as private property,
so that producers are compelled to divide
their products with the owners OF the
raw material. Land, being limited, in
creases in value, so as to take grow
ing proportion from the producer
for the benefit of the landowner.
Thus land, becoming safe,
and taking a period OF. years together
an exceptionally certain and profitable
investment, is appropriated on specula-
tion ahead of its demand for use. Hence
our unworked coal fields, our unworked
farm lands, our unimproved city lots.
No one can use them without permis-
sion of an owner, who demands price
that makes profitable production nearly
or quite impossible without skill of
very high and unusual order. For that
reason the less skillful, deprived of op.
portunities to work for themselves, be-
come competitors for opportunities to
work for Others. The competition
grows keen as the process goes on, and
wages fall. With falling wages, con-
sumption declines; and as consumption
declines opportunities for other laborers
to supply consumption are narrowed.
The outcome is an unemployed class.
That point reached, a social earthquake
is only matter of keeping on.
If this is not the explanation Of
poverty, will the Detroit Journal give
one-an explanation of the disease, and
not as Is SO often done, a mere specula-
ton about some of its symptoms? And
if our explanation is the true one, will
the journal tell MS why this is not a
just and effectual remedy. Abolish all
taxation on wealth, so that it can be
produced, owned, enjoyed and ex-
changed without arbitrary interference;
and raise all public revenues from the
| value of land, so that users of superior
land will have no arbitrary advantage
over users of land not so good, and that
unused land will be abandoned As

"a worser Man Than Henry George.

Judge Judkins, in giving his 'opinion"
in the disbarment of App M. Smith from
the practice of the law in our circuit
court, for being the author of certain
articles published in the press of this
city, said: "These utterances sound
much like the utterances of Henry
George, but in some way a good deal
worse. They are anarchistic in their
way, tend to destroy good order, and
tend to bring lawyers, juries, and
judges into contempt, 0bloquy, and
disgrace, without any foundation in
fact, and are centemptuous."
Now most people who are ordinarily
intelligent as to the current issues Of
the day do not object to having their
utterances sound like those of Henry
George; but those who have not read OF
the many works of Henry George on
political economy, and especially in
advocacy of single tax, and who do not
know anything about who he is, nor
what he advocates, and could not under
stand him if they did, are likely to
fall into a belief that he is a
most terrible kind of fellow. 1t
therefore did not surprise us at all that
a man of such limited information as
Judge Judkins should fall into such a
blunder and remain in it until he went
to dinner that day with c. II. Bender,
the well-known single tax advocate and
stenographer of the court, who doubt.

Bender to change the name of Henry

why the judge made the change. They
can not understand why it wasn't just

want exists? With demand for the pro-
ducts of work, and ability and willing
ness to do work, why should any suffer?
Look little further. While all who
suffer are able and willing TO work, the
ability of each is limited to the produc-
ton of only one kind of thing, or, at
best, of few kinds Some can build
houses, some can contribute in various
ways to the production of food, some in
various ways to the production of cloth
ing. some to the production of luxuries.
Each wants a little of all these things,
but not as much as he can make. Then
why does not each make what he can
make to best advantage, and trade
with those who make other things, un-
til the wants of all are satisfied? Ma
turc has given us oceans and rivers to
facilitate such trade, and mans invent
iveness has added devices almost with
out number: while, back of this, nature
has supplied raw material in abund-
ance With exhaustless raw material
for the production of wealth, with mil
lions of laborers of all grades, from the
unslSilled hand" to the inventor, and
with channels of trade through which
products flow smoothly to the points
where they are wanted and to the peo-
pie who want them, why should any be
poor, why should any be in fear of pow
erty?
| Is not the inference irresistible that
trade must be interfered with, SO as to
keep the workingman as consumer away
from the workingman as producer?
