poverty-his error is of little or no con-
sequence. 1t is strange, however. that
he should recognize the effect of
land values in making and fix
ing large fortunes, without instantly
seeing the injustice of our land tenures.
That the land itself justly belongs as
much to one generation as to another,
and to one individual in a generation
as to others, is a proposition that no
man can refute, and that no intelligent
and honest man ventures to deny. But
its value is often honestly supposed to
belong to individuals. What makes
land value? Nothing, even as this con-
sentative writer shows, but the profits
of competitive labor. As those profits
grow, they increase the value of the
land upon which and by means of
which they are made: and this shifts
them from the worker as such to the
owner of the land as such. 1t is by
that process that land owners acquire
stable fortunes: not by their own labor,
but wholly at the expense of the COM
petitive worker-The Standard.

Oliver Twist in Pittsburgh.

Men who become accustomed to living
at public expense, ultimately look upon
their privilege as a right, and the more
luxurious the support they enjoy the
more strenuous are they in maintaining
it as a right, and the more brazen in
asking for more. The Pittsburgh Dis
patch tells of case in point A fire
having swept away the John Harper
building in Pittsburgh, movement
was started to have the adjacent street
opened to Penn avenue. In behalf of
the movement it was urged that it
would be good time to do this inn
mediately after the fire, as the damages
on condemnation would be less then
than after new buildings were erected.
But Mr.. Harper opposed the scheme.
He was not satisfied to be paid the
value which Pittsburgh had already
given to his lot, but wanted also the
additional value which future growth
will give it. Here is what he said: 81
suppose the city can condemn the
property, but l will oppose it. The
widening would take twenty feet and
leave a strip of ten feet that would be
worthless unless Charles Arbuthnot
would buy it. We do not want to give
up the property, for in few years it
will be worth half more than what it
is now; and if it is condemned, its value
as an investment would not be con-
sidered. Mr.. Harper should not be per-
sonally condemned; he is only type.

Source of Stable Fortunes.

The Real Estate Record and Guide
mas been investigating the sources of
American fortunes, and though its con-
clusion can not be particularly pleasing
to millionaires who fondly regard them
selves as ''self-made," very interest
ing article is the result. The writer
observes that under the feudal system
land was at first the sole and later the
chief source of wealth, and down to the
latter part of the last century the only
permanent form. Since that time large
European fortunes can be traced to
land, which retains its Importance
though agricultural land has largely
given place to urban and suburban; but
banking, manufacturing and trading
have also furnished foundations for
great fortunes
Trading has never been very import
ant, however, except in cases in which
the trader has been able to secure for
his business the characteristics of a
monopoly, like that of the great brew
ers. In this country the writer finds
that circumstances have peculiarly
favored monopolies of just that char
ncter. Very few fortunes have been
made here in the ordinary channels of
trade. Though the foundations may
have been laid in mercantile business,
the founder. fortunately for himself
and his heirs, invested his profits in city
real estate, and then reaped a rich har-
vest as the city grew" The
fortunes of our railway million.
aire, the writer adds, are essen
tally of a monopolistic origin, and most
bankers fortunes have been made as in
termediaries, under favor of monopoly
privileges, between railroad corpor-
atoms and the investing public He
then lays down this law: while in
ordinary business, expansion of trade
means increased competition, such ex-
pansion necessarily contributes to the
growth of anything which approaches
the nature of a monopoly" To the
operations of this law, he says, ''our
American fortunes are nearly all trace
able, and they contain promise of sta
bility sch as is not shared by mercan-
tile fortunes"
1t is encouraging to find papers like
the Record and Guide engaged in en-
aminations of this kind along sub
stantially correct lines of inquiry. The
writer assumes that large fortunes are
in themselves bad; but since he clearly
draws the true economic distinction
between fortunes obtained in competi-
tire business and those obtained by
means OF legalized monopoly--a dis
tiueticp that rrss between wrslsA and

A Type of u Girl That Is Impervious to His

Type of u Girl That Is Impervious to His
Arts.
He was a masher, and when the swell
girl got into the street car, he spotted
her and began his operations.
He looked at her in evident admira-
ton, and in a minute or two had added
half smile. Soon he made this full
smile, quite tender and fetching and
wholly innocent and sweet Then he
gazed awhile fondly, and with far
away you'll if-you-dont-catch-

Gus.
but it grew into embarrassment instead,
and at last she was about to leave the
car, when the lorgnettes she carried in
her belt came to her rescue.
Then you should have seen her. She
took them out, opened them, brushed
them with a dainty handkerchief, set
them on her naughty nose and turned
upon her enemy. He smiled as before,
but only once. The steely stare of those
insatiate lorgnettes had fastened itself
upon him. There was no response in
them to his wiles. They were cold, cruel,
tyrannical, invincible, irresistible.
He squirmed under their basilisk
glassiness and looked ont of the win
dow.
But they followed him.
They crept over his helpless feet,
which seemed to him to extend clear
across the car; they followed slowly up
the faint gray line of his trousers; they
spread out over his cheerful hued vest;
they grasped the lappels of his coat
and withered the rose in his button
hole; they dallied with his new seventy
five-cent cravat; they moved triumph
antly around his collar; they dappled
their claws in his mustache; they
tweaked his nose; they chilled his eyes;
they rumpled his hair; they marched in
dreadful monotony around his hat, and
then they went slowly to his feet and
began their awful work over again.
But human endurance has its limit,
and as the torturing lorgnettes, with
the pretty girls eyes behind them,
came to his face once more, he made a
wild impulsive dive for the rear platform
and with one Mortified look over his
shoulder, only to see them calm and
cruel as ever, he dashed from the car
and was lost in the crowd.
Then the girl smiled softly and stuck
them in her belt again--Detroit Free

1t would be difficult to get simple
logic into a worse twist than the
Chicago Tribune succeeds in doing when
it AYERS that the single tax would fall
heaviest on farmers because agriculture
is the predominant industry. AS tho
single tax relieves all industry of taxa
ton, it takes a very gymnast in
sophistry to conclude that such tax
would fall heaviest on the predominant
industry. Any mere man would sup
pose that the predominant industry
would benefit most by the abolition OF
taxation on industry. AS the Tribune
helps out its bad logic with the asser-
ton that under the single tax farm
ers would pay vastly more than
they now do" we challenge it to give
the particulars of single case of a
working farmer whose taxes would not
be less under single tax than they are
now, even if the single tax were high
enough to take the entire rental value
of his land. The Tribune can not do it,
