BALTIMORE, January 4, 1891.
My DEAR Mr.. GLENNAN. Will
you permit me to extend III Y hear
test congratulations upon the mag
nihcent showing made for Norfolk by
your special edition? AS native of
Norfolk, | naturally watch its
growth with peculiar interest; while
l have kept close track of all the
progress that is being made in that
section, the summing up of all what
has been accomplished as set forth
in your special edition, is calculated
to arrest the attention of every man
who sees copy Of that issue. 1t sho VS.
that despite the depression OF the
last four yesrs-n depression that is
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. has moved
steadily forward with the assurauoe
that 1t will attain the great destiny
for which nature seems to have
planned it.
Some time ago [ was talking with
Mai. Jed Hotchklss, the distln.
guisbed engineer of Staunton,
about the country bordering on
hampton Roads. He ststed that if
the efforts made years ago by Mr..
Crozet, n prominent engineer, to iu
duce the Legislature of Virginia to
build railroad from Norfolk to the
West. instead Of expanding it's money
for building the old canal, had besn
successful, the New York of the
United States would have been at
Norfolk, because this would have
been the first railroad from the at.
lnntic seaboard to reach the West.
The result would naturally have
been that the tide of trade and bust
ness from the great West turned to
the Atlantic coast at Norfolk would
have continued in an ever swelllug
volume. |, might not be true that
Norfolk would have attained New
lork's pre- eminence, but | do not
THINK there ie any question but
what 1t would have been one OF the
leading cities of the United States.
and this | am sure it is destined to
be.
The special issue OF THE V1RGIS.
IAN Is attracting wide attention
throughout the country, and | find
that 1t Is being very generally com.
mented upon by the leading news
papers OF all sections. In this way
alone LIE NIRGINfAS has secured

DR. Baird is known as a practical work
er. His health was broken by the severe
winter climate in Michigan some time ago,
and he seemed likely to be obliged to give
up his work. But he resorted to the use
of that easily obtained remedy, Paines
celery compound, and was himself again,
energetic ana active as ever. within a few
weeks
The reasonable. undisgused way in which
Paine's celery compound fortihes the body
against nervous exhaustion and rebuilds its
shattered parts has been freely explained
by physicians, the best of whom to-day al
ways look to this great remedy where de-
bility is to be overcome. 1t does its work
thoroughly and speedily. Let every nerv-
Gus sufferer. and every man and woman
who feels run down and tired beyond the
power of "A nights sleep to restore, try
Paine's celery compound. 1t will make the
man or woman strong and active and Il

ers generally must have been without
a careful reading of his letter. To my
mind he made it clear that it is the
actual and economic value Of land and
not its speculative value or price which
will be enhanced by the action of the
single tax. In other words, its value
in use and not its value in exchange,
to which latter the passage you quoted
from 1.-THE Free Land League" un-
dou btedly refers.
The selling price OF land is increased

Just in proportion as taxation upon its

the value remains attached to the land

Editor Tax Reform Studies-Dear
Sir: Economic rent certainly exists,
and would exist under conditions Of
freedom. but for several reasons she
community should take it away from
those who gather it.
~ It amounts to so little that it
would scarcely bear the expense ut

(2) The evils attending the collection
of it would be greater than the evil Of
allowing it to remain in the hands "f

~ 1t has a tendency to vanish of lis

~ To take away the economic rent
discourages enterprise in developing
new points of vantage.
% The community can find no good

belongs to the mar that gets it with
out interfering with the equal freedom
of others to control themselves and the
results of their self-exertion.
But there is a kind of rent that is
given by the community through its
titles allowing vacant land to be with
held from use. Single-taxers continu-
ally make Henry Georges MISTAKE OF
supposing that rent, as it exists to-day,
is all economic, whereas, probably
ninety-nine one-hundredths Of it is
speculative and monopolistic. Such
rents are not created by the mere pres
ence of the community, but are
founded upon unjust titles. Mr.. George
has started a great movement to re.
store speculative and m%onopolistic
rents to the community that gives
them, but it is a better proposition not
to give them. Yours truly,
