In oldea times, when engagement rings
were known as "nanclaI' rings. they were
intended TO express sentiment OF the
giyer. instead OF merely indicating his In
come, or following a prevailing fashion,
as Is often the case nowadays During re-
cent years the diamond solitaire has been
the conventional engagement ring, and
with worthy reason, for the diamond is the
emblem Of fidelity: but the symboiiczl idea
has been too often drowned IL the money
value the worth Of the lover being gagged
by The price OF hts ring. Therefore IL is
refreshing TO find that a better taste IS
beginning 20 prevail, that quaint supersti-
ttors are brought into consideration, the
histories OF precious STONES studied, odd
old settings COPIED. and rings Of smallest
expense most enthusiastically priced for
the sake Of sweet association. In short,
the ambition Of the nxnce Of the present is
TO offer not the biggest diamond his purse

COLLECTING THE TAXES.
Butchered for BOndllOlders
Boise City Sc ntinel.

Boise City Sentinel
SAT last it has leaked out that the
cause Of the butchery OF 5000 Armen-
ians in cold blood by the Turkish
troops was owing to the fact that they
would not or could not pay their taxes.
AS the taxes were due English bond
holders it is now thought that the
massacre was perfectly justitiable. In
Eyypt they whip the natives to make,
them work harder SO that the interest
NAV be paid to the bondhOlders on the
vast debt that country owes. II we
keep on in the United States with this
bond issuing our turn will come
next"
We have always felt a feeling OF
alarm as we saw England spreading
her money all over this country and
securing it upon our most valuable
properties, to force us, for generations
to come, to pay the interest. II she
can have her way she will make an
other Egypt or Armenia or India or
Ireland Of us. Every dollar above a
bare subsistence for the toilers will be
squeezed out of US, and shipped to
London. 1t would be curious to en-
uuire how much of the money that
now owns our railroads, mills, mines,
brcweries, etc, was wrung from the
unfortunate Hindoos, Copts, or Celts;
and how soon England will be inter
fering in the affairs of our country 70
protect her capitalists. Wherever
there is debt, it implies misgovern-
ment. Give men fair play and liberty
and they can maintain themselves
without borrowing. !. -.

Single Tax FallacieS,

We hear a great deal about "the
unearned increment" What is it?
1t is said that land in a wilderness
is valueless. 1t is population gives it
value. Therefore, says Henry George,
the whole population is entitled to
that increased value and not any one
person; ergo, the community has the
right to TAX the land into valueless-
ness.
But the community is composed of
individuals: and if the community is
entitled to "the unearned increment"
surely each member of the community
is entitled to his share of it. And so
you go out at the same hole you
went in at And when you come to
divide the ''increment," with the
land attached. shall the loafer have
as much as the Industrious man? And
if you made such division how soon
would the loafer squander his part
and demand another division? And
when it is equally profitable to work
and not to work who will be fool
enough to work?
But if population gives value to
| land does it not give it to everything
else? What is mans labor worth in
the wilderness, where there is neither
shop, factory nor mine, nor customers?
| II the value of labor is an ''unearned
increment" due to the presence of
population, why should not the COM
munity own the labor of its workmen
and take all above a bare living? And
if so wherein will the laborers be bet
ter than the slaves? If the commun-
ity own the labor what.is the body of
the man worth?
The Single Takers say they did not
have the Single Tax in the Middle
Ages and in France before the French
Revolution. Technically they did not.
But what does the Single-Tax pro-
pose? That the land shall bear all the
taxes. so that the poor and industri
Gus can get possession of it; and get
ting possession they shall then beal
all the taxes, which will be SO heavy
as to exclude the wealthy from own
ing it: so heavy, indeed. as to take, un
der the name of the "unearned incre
ment," that which had previously beer
the landlords share. Now, let us com
pare the peasant of France before the
Revolution, with the farmer of Min
neSOta after the Middle Tax is estab
lished. and see what difference there
is between them.
/. The French peasant paid all th'
taxes of the nation.
2. The Minnesota farmer will pa.
all the taxes of state and nation.

DEBS AND THE CONSTITUTION
Magma Charta and the Serfs.

"If the agitation for peaceful
solution is abandoned or suppressed
the grinding down of the poor will
certainly find vent in more forcible
effort to find relief 1t is to the in
terest OF all that free press and free
speech be maintained, yet they are be-
ing curtailed, little here and little
there in the interest of monopoly.
Congress is to legalize pooling by the
railroads! But Debs got six months
In the work house for pooling the rail-
road men. Laws are only made to Op-
press and rob laboring men. The
trusts buy any laws they want, and
then rob the people to pay the bribed
lawmakers. Ignorant men only vote
for the parties that are reducing this
country to condition Of Russian des-
potism. Ignorance and cunning up

over the corpse of liberty, which has
been taken in this century. 1t says,
that while workmen have the right
to organize, to improve their condi-
tion; and to act in concert in refusing
to work for what they deem insut1i-
clent wages, nevertheless if any of the
strikers commit an illegal act, the Of
ticers who ordered the strike, which
was legal act, are guilty and must
go to prison for it.. And in determin-
ing whether the facts Justify the con-
viction the defendants shall be denied
the right Of trial by jury, although
the constitution Of the United States,
(Article VI Of the Amendments Of
n9l.) says:
"In all criminal prosecutions the ac-
| cused shall enjoy the right to a speedy
and public trial by an impartial jury
of the state and district wherein the
crime shall have been committed"
And Debs is also denied the right to
the ecrit Of hobeas corpus, although the
constitution of the United States,
| art /, Sec. 80 says:
"The privilege of the writ of habeas
| corpus shall not be suspended unless
when, in cases of rebellion or inya-
sion, the public safety may require
it,"
And member, that the judicial
usurpation, which now sends Debs to
| the penltentlary Tor SIX months, may
consign you, good reader, to the next
cell on similar pretences. Nay more,
if these usurpations and violations Of
the fundamental law of the nation
are to continue why may they not
take the life OF the next offender?
Where liberty can be invaded what Sc
curity is there for life?
Debs goes to prison, and scarcely a
murmur is heard from the people who
are plundered of great rights, won on
ancient battle-felds, by heroic an
cestry. A revolution is accomplished,
overthrowing Magma Chartd itself. and
not a voice or hand is raised in pro-
test.

the landlords rent.
4. But the Minnesota farmer will
pay the landlords rent in the shape of
increased taxes, equal: to the "un-
earned increment"
WHAT'S the difference?
But what right has the government
to take the owner of a Minnesota
farm, who has paid for it by hard
work, and, not only continue his
taxes, but make him pay a tax to the
community equal to the rent he
would have had to pay if some one else
had owned the land? And yet he
owns the farm himself!
And why should this be done to re-
licvc other forms of wealth of their
just share of the support Of the gov
ernment. which is supposed to protect
and benefit all alike?
But, says the Single Taxer, a great
deal of the taxes of the wealthy are
not paid-they dodge them. Let us
therefore repeal their taxes and put
them on the honest men who have
paid up. Let us reward villainy at the
expense of virtue.
Let us see: The courts and prisons
show that the community, despite all
its laws, cannot prevent murders.
robberies, rapes. arsons and swindlings.

us repeal all the laws against crime
