Gne estate, GAey would, Trom Gne neceg8l-
ties OF the people, be able to collect
rent from bare land values that would
pay them a good dividend on over
$90,O00,0O0 of value. Now here Ia the
question to be settled soon: Is it right
and just to allow one man to enjoy such
special privileges as to force people TO
contribute large share Of their earn
ings-Rverage about one-tbrd-fOr the
privilege Of using bare land, q free gift
from the Creator to man?
The value OF land is caused by popula-
tion and improvements; it is not caused
by an Astor, Vanderbilt, Jones or Smith,
but by all men. Yet we find q few men
collecting rent from this value that ia
produced by all men. Clearly, then,
they are taking something that is mot
the result Of their own individual effort.
Acts Of that kind in some places are
called stealing. And some retofmsrs
talk Of an income tax, "divide up"
with the robbers. Such procrastination
will defeat any party; and it ought to.
We want parties that will advocate the
truth; the people will not be iuggled
with any longer. II every man is en-
titled to the whole product OF hiS labor,
then as surely as justice follows freedom,
that value that all men jointly produce
should be taken for the sole benefit OF
all men. 1t is one Of the first things
that must be done. For as long as we
force the farmer and miner to yield up
one-third or more OF his daily esrnings
for the use Of their land--the citieS about
same ratio--one.third to protected in
dustries, railroads and other privileged
classes, leaving one-third Of their earn
lngs from which to live and pay local
taxes, so long will we have poverty
midst an ever increasing power TO pro-
duce wealth; so long as we rob the
wealth producer in this manner, you will
force him to go to banks and borrow,
not money, man never borrows money,
but things, things he himself had pro
duced, and would have Of his own, but
they robbed him Of them. / care not
il interest is but per cent, transpOrta-
tion reduced to the minimum, the tariff
roober driven from our land, the land
lord and speoulator will get the benefit,
while the wealth producer will be given
scant living. See how our working
farmer, the man who feeds us, is treated
is Kansas. If he wants to use that
quarter section of raw land on which and
from which to build home, he must
pay some speculator or absentee land
lord to the east Of as $40, $15 or $40 per
acre; If he fences it, We fine him for it; IL
he puts it all under cultivation, we raise
his taxes; il be works hard, saves much
and builds him good dwelling, we raise
his taxes; il he keeps his children out Of
school, and his faithful wife helps to
make hay and husk corn so as to turn
the old hsy-sheds into good barn, we
tax him for that; il he plants large
orchard and beauties his lawn with
ornamental trees, we fine him again; the
harder he works himself and family, the
more they save and live like savagea, the
more we are able to tax them. Is that

finance and income tax; the burden Of
their song was to get at the incomes Of
millionaires, and make them divide up. "
But the people believe in the sacred
rights of property, and il q man has an
income of $l,0OO,O0O or $l0OO0,0OO a
year, the result Of his OlOn individual ef-
fort, it is his; and down deep in their
hearts they would respect q man who
showed such marked ability, and de-
mand that you. give him every protection
they enjoy with their small income. But
when you go to these same men and
show to them that certain men are en-
ioying certain rights and privileges
denied to the many by being granted
these special privileges; the few are em-
powered and collect toll from the many;
that the incomes Of the few are aug

eyes, that is what we are gong to do
with these millionRires." "But you
stated that their incomes consisted in
absorbing the earnings Of others, without
giving anything in return; that IN fact
they were robbers, and you are going to
make them 'divy' and then they can
keep on robbing us. / tell you, my
friend, it won't work; il they don't earn
these large incomes, as you say, they
must steal them, and the only right way
to do is to deprive them Of the opportu-
nifty to steal what other men produce.
No, when you purpose right lines Of
action 1 am with you, but I am not in
the divide with robbers"
Is there not truth in these objections
to an income tax?
Suppose, during the days Of chsttel
slavery, that Phillips, Garrison, Love-
joy and others of the anti-slsvery school
had advocated the following:
"Chattel slavery is wrong, in that it is
contrary to the natural law for one man
to own one or many Of his fellowmen,
causing them TO work six days in the
week, and taking from them all they pro-
duce except a scant living. Taking
from men all they produce except poor
living, you deprive them Of the means
that nature intended them to use to ele-
vate and better their conditions. AS
men advance only as they satisfy their
wants with less and less exertion, leRV-
ing more time for the advancement of
the mind, for recreation, and gratifca-
ton of those higher attributes that ele-
Yates and distinguishes men from ami
mails; so il you will only work your
slaves five days out Of the six, giving
them the one work day for themselves,
you will enable them to live better and
nearer to that law the Creator intended
should control the distribution Of the
products of labor. This concession will
deprive the system Of slavery Of some Of
its obnoxious features; you will be safer
from interference hereafter"

wealth is drawn restored to her children
Justice demands it and no rest unit
granted. The only right way is to make
a thorough diagnosis Of the csse-thC
causes that produce poverty-then apply
the right remedy and exterminate the
wrong, root and branch.
The argument in favor Of graduated
income tax, in order to reach the mil
lionaire, sounds plausible; but when We
are put to the point, and analyze the
question, we find an income tax about az
logical as to force a stakeholder TO work
his slaves five instead of six days in the
week, holding that such action would
remedy the evil. Incomes, strictly speak,
ing, are those things men receive FOL
mental and physical effort expended
real wealth produced by labor. Hence
to tax incomes is to tax labor, and dis
courage the production of those things
Of which the more we get the richer We
are.
But many men doubt IL any one mar
by his own individual efforts ever pro
duced even 100000 Of values OF rea
wealth; and il by analysis we find suct
to be true, and that some men simply
draw or absorb from the real earnings o.
others such amounts as to pay dividends
on an estimated value Of $50000,000 ol
$100,0O0,0O0 annually, why not go to the
root of the evil and abolish the system
that allows these few men to take tht
earnings of others without giving any
thing in return? By depriving the few
men Of the power OF special privileges
they now use to abolish the earnings o
the many, the incomes Of every working
man, care not what his occupation
may be, will increase over one-thirt
more than it is to day. On this point

ST.. JOHNS, N. f.. March 2S.-The pros.

very gloomy. The schooner Island Gem,
which arrived this evening with 2,700 seals,

about 15.C00 All the other ships heard

worst outlook ever known in the sealing
industry. In former years some sealers
were unfortunate md Others successful,
but this year it appears that all will be
disappointed. The season is now 80 far
advanced that it is impossible to expect
even an average. Fishery seals have
abandoned the ice aud cannot be easily
killed in the water.
