II. W. Holley, a radical Republican,
for many years prominent in the af-
fairs OF Minnesota. writes from Spo-

march to victory no more creditable
than Cleveland's recent sixty days
march through the desert of silverite
absurdity and wind. He says: II am
not naturally much of an admirer of
Grover Cleveland, but the manner in
which he has routed the jackasscal
horde of fiat money shriehers meets my
hearty admiration. Grants march
through the Wilderness was no more
creditable to him as soldier than
Cleveland'S recent sixty-day march as a
politician through the desert of silver
tie absurdity and wind. As Grant was
after Richmond. so has been Cleveland
after Sherman's law repeal, and of the
two victories l believe Cleveland's of
most value to the country. 1t is the
turning point in our destiny; rag money.

GEoRGIsM VS.. SINGLE TAX

GEORGISM VS.. SINGLE TAX.
E. &. Erickson. of Minneapolis,
takes exception, i'll letter elsewhere
printed, to recent comments of the
GLOBE on the report that the murderer
of Mayor Harrison was man whose
weak mind hal been turned by Henry
Georges theories of land ownership.
1t was not necessarily reflection
on the doctrines of Mr.. George. even if
it were fact that Prendergast had gone
daft over them, for there is no great
idea which has ever come to break the
crust of customary thought and habit
that has not had its Prendergasts. Emer-
son says, Beware when God lets loose
thinker on this planet, for then all
things are at risk" and the risk of the
consequences Of great thoughts on weak
minds is one ever possible result.
We had supposed, until we read Mr..
Erickson's letter, and we are disposed
still so to think, in spite of it, that there
is a material difference between the
theories of Mr.. George and those held
by single takers. Mr.. Erickson, by a
Socratic method, develops the Georgian
theory of the communal creation of
wealth in land, which, created by the
community, belongs to it,and the whole
of which Mr.. George would appropriate
for the use of the community. This,
our correspondent says, is the single
tax. We had supposed that the advo-
Gates of the single tax proceeded on the
same lines of reasoning as their prophet
does, but stopped short of an apprOpria-
ton of all of the economic rent of land,
appropriating only that portion needed
to defray the expenses of government,
when economically administered" In
other words they would make the rea-
sons of Georgism the Justification for
making land values the sole basis of
taxation.
We hope we are correct in this. be-
cause we know that there are many
men who have approached the question
of taxation from its practical side, as
distinguished from the ethical side of ap-
prOach taken by the single takers, who
have reached the same conclusion they
have. They find that. in the effort to
secure justice In the distribution of bur-
den by bringing under tribute every
species OF property, the result is injus-
tice of very odious kind. Experience
has demonstrated that the effort to
reach certain forms of property is dis
NAL failure, with the inequitable
sequence that the possessors of person
atty incapable of concealment have to
bear that portion of the burden which
is evaded by other more intangible
forms of wealth.
Finding that all property cannot be
subjected to taxation; that those forms
easy of concealment Will escape; know
ing that the source of all property is
land, and feeling sure that taxation
laid at the source will distribute itself
by natural and unavoidable processes
among the users of land, whether used
directly or Indirectly, these men have
come to the conclusion that taxation
Will be more Justly borne If land alone
be made to bear it. The only exception
would be those natural or artificial mo-
nopolies, like mines, railroads, tele-
graphs and others, share of whose
earnings may Justly be taken for public
use.
St. Paul daily globe., 1893-11-17
THE PENSION QUESTION.

The pension question will come I'D in
this congress, as it has IN every other
one, though this time the purpose will
be to find limitations instead of expan-
sion. The question should be finally
settled, and that on lines whose equity
and justice both to the old soldiers who
rendered the service and TO the taxpay-
ers who must foot the bills would meet
a general assent.
The exposures of fraud which have
been made, and which were invited by
the laXity of the present system, the
utter defeat of the really philanthropic
and just idea which was the inspiration
of the dependent pension act by un-
scrupulous men, the granting of pen
sions under it without the slightest con-
sideration of the need of them because
of inability to perform manual labor
which would give support. and the
strong public feeling excited by the ex-
