The most remarkable speech of the
week was made this afternoon by Prof.
j. q. H. Buck Of Hillsboro. His sub
iect was the single tax, and strange
to say he said no more things of the
Democratic than OF the Republican
party. He assumed that one man has
the same right to land that any other
man has, and to as much land. His
abuse Of the wealthy land owners ana
land grabbing corporations was widely
and constantly cheercd, though he did
not see 90 to lay all the physical and
mental his Of NE at the door OF the
Democratic party.
Prof. Buck Is rather an ingenious
speaker, though not an orator, ana
he convinced an OF his hearers that II
NH taxes save on land were abolished,
each of them would be millionaire.
