ARE THE FARMERS FOR THE SINGLE
TAX"


The two great political parties of the
United States are arrayed against each
other. not only on economic principles un-
derstood by the people. but for the first
time there is made positive issue that our
local governments shall be controlled by
Federal authority. The Republican party
demands the right to frame and supervise
our election laws by what is popularity
known as the Force bill. The Democratic
party opposes such demand as not only
contrary to the spirit of republican institu-
tions, but as especially destructive 10 the
Southern section of the nation.
This is justly regarded by many as the
most important issue Of tho presidential
campaign, for If the Republican theory il
Endorsed we may surely bid farewell to the
peace and prosperity of the Southern States.
But there is another issue fraught with
danger to the present balance Of the coun-
try. The free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer may allure the farmers, for il carries
with 1t the thought of more money. But
wrapped up in the silver question and in
the Third party. to which it has given such
vitality as it has. there is one of paramount
interest to farmers
The leading apostle of agrarianism Henry
1eorge) has for years been industriousy
engaged in advocating what is known as the
single tax-by speech. in newspapers, and

So Much Yesterday.
Since the storm Wednesday evening the
atmosphere has been cooler, and yesterday
Richmonders were pleased TO find a lower
temperature. Though the thermometer was
only about one or two degrees lower a lively
breeze was present all day. and tho suns
rays in consequence had not that depressing
effect observable on Wednesday
There were no deaths or prostrations from
sunstroke. and laborers upon the streets
and workmen in the shops made more favor

works were in operation yesterday. The
day before tho water was out of the canal
on account of an accident. and many of the
hands had holiday, which was thoroughly
appreciated.

retail dealers. and except early Yesterday

TINS his insiduous doctrines have been
largely disseminated. and have not only
taken root in fertile soil. but may in the
nsar future become the slogan OF that party
which now seeks to build itself up with the
help of the country landowners.
prieay stated. the single tax is tax on
land value. irrespective of improvements,
% tbe exclusion OF all other taxes, national,
State and local.
Il may be asked. What has this to do with
the PEOPLES party? A great deal! The
Omaha platform declares The union OF
the labor forces of the United States this
dav contaminated shall be permanent and
rarpetnaL" Again: The land. including
oil the natural sources OF wealth. is the
h.ritaee of the people So the farmers
who support Mr.. Weaver become allied TO
the labor forces, and the labor journals oil
indorse the single tax. They Bay that Il
that tax is put in force in this country II
would raise wages, lower rent. encourage In
dustries. equalize opportunities and thereby
benefit all.
Thew argue The levying of taxes on
land values oheapens land; with such tax
il will not pay to keep land idle therefore
its owner will either seek labor and capital
TO make it productive sell it at low price
or abandon it to others.
In addition TO the so-oalled labor forces
the leaders Of the colored race are taking
hold of the single tax question in the South
IA the readest and surest means OF solving
the race problem.
Thus it is manifest that in the near future
all the communistic ana agrarian elements
of the country will be combined to force
the real estate owners to abandon their land
TO "sauatter sovereignty"
The silver question will settle itself;
therefore it would be folly for farmers to
seek relief from the undeniable ills they
suffer by resorting to others perhaps a
thousand fold worse. but of which they
only know enough to see upon due inyesti-
cation and reflection that the landowner,
especially the farmer, is doomed 10 destruc-
ton by the engine Of his own invention.
There can be no genuine alliance between
the farmer and the so-called labor party.

On Wednesday last large number of
European immigrants were landed in New
York, who were assigned to several South
ern States. These immigrants were proba-
bly, selected for q special purpose by South
srn agents. and are therefore likely TO make
useful and valuable citizens There is.
however, an important class of foreign i'm
migrants whose representatives the South
earnestly hopes will never cross her borders
Enormously as foreign immigration has
added to the wealth of the Northern States
1t has not always been such an advantage that
men have been content to ignore its disad-
vantages. The immigration to the South
has been comparatively small and the con-
sequence has been that this section retains
its homogen eous white population, and has
not been harassed by Anarchists. The i'm
migrants from abroad who have settled in
the Southern States have represented
superior type and have done much TO pro-
mote its prosperity. They have constituted
so small an element in the population that
they have been quickly absorbed and as
simulated.

The death OF Robert Lowe Yiscount Sher-

figures in the political history of England
between 1860 and 1875, but for many years
he had withdrawn 30 entirely from public

familiar with English politics were unaware
that he was alive. He was known for the
bitterness of his tongue. and On more than
one occasion excited the open anger of

reputation has been at last settled by the
payment Of about nine hundred thousand
dollars to her heirs by the city of New

legal firm in New Orleans has entered suit
for s1s0.000, which amount was asked for
legal services covering many years. The
total sum which is claimed by all the law

by the Gaines estate to less than half mil
