EDITOR CHRONICLE: It's no part OF
the Single Tax plan to tax land all
it will produce. This would neces-
state a redistribution by the Gov
eminent and be socialism in the ex.
IRENE.
Our proposition is to tax land at
its rental value and this is fixed by
its area on fertility. A city lot, COX
100 feet of arts soil, will often rent
for more than a thousand acres of
fertile farm land. Rental values are
created by the presence of a com
munity When only one man wants a
certain piece of land, there is neither
rent nor value. These only exist
when two or more men want to use
the same land, and they increase as
population and demand for land in
crease. Air and water are free, and
land should be equally free to the
user. All men are entitled to an
equal chance to live, and this ina
plies a right to use the land, for no
man can live without the use and
produce of land The land was
made by the Creator for all men.
and no man or set of men have
right to charge others rent for what
God gave to all alike.
The problem of adjusting social
relations to this great truth could
be solved by distributing the land
equally, as was done by almost all
Incient nations, but for two reasons.
LIST. If all'land was equally di-
'ided tile first thereafter would dis
urb the distribution, as every child
oining into the world has an equal
light to chance to live with any
ne now on earth.
End As land is of different value,
coording to location, those who
rst occupied a valuable site would
ave an advantage.

for Dayton Wagon. This seat is supported
by an iron frame and is hinged in the middle in
such manner as to permit either half of the
seat to be instantly raised and folded over the
other. And either side or the whole seat can
be moved backward or forward to give more
room to the occupants. By the use Of this seat
in any Dayton, or two seated vehicle, persons
can have free access to or from the rear seat
when entering or leaving the front part of the

now in use which demands the inconvenience of

Artists think they must have a special
brand of poppy oil to use in mixing colors,
and if unable to get it will be in despair.
A dealer in artists materials, in COM
menting on this, remarked there is only
one maker of poppy oil in the world-a
chemist in Germany. He ships it in bulk
to manufacturing chemists all over the
globe, and each one bottles it and sticks
his own label on. The only difference in
we brands is the labels.-Chicago Trib-

STANTON AND SHERMAN.
Light Thrown a Famous War In
ciient.

From John Sherman's RecollectioDs.
remained in Washington until the
rival, on the 10th of May, Of General Sher-
mans army, which encamped by the road
side about half way between Alexandria
and the Long bridge. 1 visited the general
there and found that he was still :smarting
under what he called the disgrace pu. upon
him by Stanton. 1 advised him TO keep en-
t:rely quiet sad the feeling had passed
away and that his position was perfectly
well understood. l persuaded him to call on
the President and such members OF the cab
met as he knew. and accompanied him.
He was dressed in full uniform, well worm
was bronzed and looked the picture OF health
and strength. AS a matter of course, he re-
fused to call on Stanton and denounced HIM
4 unmea Sured terms. declaring that he
would insult him whenever the opportunity
occurred. When he came in contact with
his fellow officers and found that they SYM
path.zed with him his anger abated, and by
the time the great review took place. he
seemed to have recovered his usual man
ner.
The review of General Meade's army was
TO occur on Tuesday, May %, and that of
General Sherman's, as it was called, on the
24th. General Sherman, with his wife ard
her father, Hon. Thomas Ewing, and myself
were prese Mt on the reviewing stand the
first day of the review. He received on the
stand the congra tulations of hundreds of
PEOPLE and seemed to enjoy every moment
of time He was constantly pointing out to
MI. Ewing ana myself the ulfIerenCe be- WeCn
the eastern and western armies. IN which he
evidently preferred the army OF the west.
On the next day, prompt to the time stated,
attended by a brilliant STAFF, he rode slowly
up Pennsylvania avenue at the head of his
column, and was followed by a magnificent
army of 81, 600 men, organized into four army
corps, and marching with that precision only
possible with experienced troops. His de-
scr.pt:on of the scene in his memoirs
proves his deep interest in the appearance
of his army and his evident pride in it.
When he arrived at the grand stand, where
the President reviewed the troops, he dis
mounted, left the line, came upon the stand
and took his place by the side of the Pres
ident. Everyone knew his relations TO STAN
ton. and was curious to see the result of
their meeting.
l stood very near the general, and as he
approached he shook hands with the Presi-
dent and the members Of the cabinet, hat
hand, General Sherman passed him without
remark, but everyone within sight could per-
ceive the intended insult, which satisiia I'd
his honor at the expense of his prudence
However, it is proper to say that these two
men. both eminent in their way became en-
tirely reconciied before the death of Ar.
Stanton. General Sherman always stopped
with me when he was temporarily in Wash
inEton, and l know that il a very brief pe-
riod they met ard conversed in a friendly
way. When Mr.. Stanton lay upon his dea tn
bed, General Sherman not only called upSn
him, but rendered his services, and exhibited
every mark of respect for him.

WHERE HE DREW THE LINE.
The Wind 93iil Man Tells of His Ex-
parience With a Conservative Farmer

The Wind Niu Man Tells of His Ex-
parience With "a Conservative Farmer
From uarper's Magazine
The man who sold windmills adjusted his
chair at a new angle, crossed his feet on the
railing of the balcony, locked his hands over
the top of his head and began:
Curious fellows. those Wayback farmers
are; drol chaps to deal with, too; cute and
sharp at a bargain. Most of them know a
&c cd thing when they see it, so l took good
many orders; but once in a while come
across a conservative old hayseed whose
eyes are closed TO anything modern. One of
that sort helped me to a good laugh the
other day, and might as well pass it on.
He was genial, white-headed old fellow,
" ho owned several fine farms, with prime
orchards and meadows barns and fences in
app!e-pie order and dwellings serene in COM
fort.
He listened closely while expatiated on
the excellence of our make of machines;
then, taking fresh supply of cavindish, he
squared himself in his chair, with his hands
| r his pockets, and held forth in this fash
| ion:
WAL, stranger he said, your machine
may be all right, but look here. I settled
| here in the airly fifties, broke the trail for
| the last few miles, blazin' the trees as we
came along. I had q fair start, good health

| An now. stranger. after all that, I'll be ever

| brought his hand down on his knee with a
| whack that fairly echoed through the house
| OF course, l couldn't urge him to purchase
| after that expression of his sentiments and
| left him. Independent, wasn't he?''
| Then the windmill man chuckled, as IL he
| had enjoyed the memory of the scene he had
| just described, and his hearers enjoyed his
story SO much that when he left he was
. richer by three or four orders
