There Was Close Approach to stagnation
ON Exchange.
New York, May 27.-There was q close
approach to absolute stagnation at the
stock exchange to-day and at intervals
business came nearly to a complete
standstill, the sales between 1 and 1880
o'clock amounting to only thousand
shares. In the time mentioned not a.
single transaction was reported in the
industrials, which is something very
unusual The indisposition to make
new ventures is still due to the uncer-
tainty regarding the standing of the
leading candidate for the presidential
nomination, and the fear of hostile leg
islation by the senate In the matter Of
government bond issues. The contin-
uance of the gold export movement and
the low prices of farm products caused
a little liquidation in certain securities.
There was no outside business to speak
of, and the operations for foreign ac-
count cut no figure in the dealings.

The Election of officers.
The seventh annual meeting of the
union organization of the Kings
Daughters and Sons of New Haven was
held in the East Pearl street NJ e.
church yesterday afternoon The pres
ident, Miss Jennie Messer, presided.
The exercises were begun with a.
hymn sung by those present. The de-
votionaI exercises were conducted by
Mrs. D. M. James. Reports were made
by the president, the secretary and
treasurer and also by the various cir
cles, the latter part of the exercises &C.
cupying a good portion of the after
, noon session.
I There were very pretty and appro-
pirate decorations. On the organ rail-
ing were festoons of white and purple
cloth, forming very handsome decora-
tions. There was also a lavish arrange
I ment of flowers effectively placed about
the pulpit platform. Many emblems of
the order with monograms placed here
and there about the church and on the
organ front was the inscription Work

At 4:30 recess was taken followed by
miscellaneous business, the reading of
additional reports of circles and the
election of officers.
Ellen A. Whitford, recording secre-
tary, in the course of her interesting
report said:
I'm reviewing the past year of the
union it is apparent that the work done
in His Name has been largely that of
individual circles rather than coopera-
tive. Nevertheless efficiency has been
promoted and zeal strengthened, and in
its cooperative capacity there has been
announcements in efforts to aid in re-
lieving the distress of poverty and by
Christian sympathy in cheering the sor-
rowing. There are few individuals who
can render grateful testimony for help
received from the union as we'll as the
free kindergarten and Bethesda Door of
Hope of our city; while its benefactors
have been sent to the Housatonic sum-
ner home at Shelton and through Miss
Landfear to the Girls mission school
In South Africa. The most marked and

auspices of the union March IL, IL and
10 to aid the purchasing fund of the
Housatonic Summer Home association
by which the union contributed to the
treasury of this philanthropic associa-
ton the sum Of $271. a similar amount
accrued to the various circles which
assisted in the bazaar to be disbursed
to the needy through these channels.
The union both created a vacation fund
of more than 500 to provide under the
auspices of the union the means of rest
and recreation at the Housatonic
summer home for as many working
girls as that amount would furnish.
Our bi-monthly meetings have been
maintained during the years, although
at intervals somewhat irregular as it
has been deemed eXpedent by the exec
utive committee to hold them. Har-
mony has prevailed in business DELHI
erations; there has been an inspiration
and uplift spiritually and others have
been an impulse socially, uniting by
those meetings the circles of the city in
a closer bond of fellowship.
"The executive committee has met
jects presented for its consideration.
The present enrolment consists of
81 circles recorded in the union with a
membership of 629. Four of these cir
cles have failed to record their mem
bers so that a total approximate enum-
GRAFTON would probably exceed $50.
For the first time in it's history the
members of the union have enjoyed the
pleasure and privilege of mingling with
the Kings Daughters of our state in a
common interest and in stating the
benefits of a state conference.
Mrs. d. M. James, state secretary
has we'll won congratulation and thanks
for the enterprise and energy in COM

SINGLE TAX EXPLAINED,
]. M. Reynolds Expounds the
Doctrine to the Iroquois
Club.
He Starts With the Idea That the
Full Product of Labor Is the
True Wages of Labor.

By invitation J. NJ. Reynolds spoke be-
fore the Iroquois Club on the subject of
Democratic Principles and Human
Rights as Related to the Single Tax" The
speaker, quoting from Patrick Edward
Doves Theory of Human Progression, 3"
said:
Nothing can be more self-evident then than
that an object is the property of its creator.
And when political economy has determined
by scientific method which is not arbitrary
what value is created and who creates this
value, politics takes fup the question where IL
was left and determines according to a method
which is not arbitrary to whom the created
value should be assigned.
"This," said Mr. Reynolds. ''is the key
to the whole industrial problem. Political
economy is really the science of how to
get living equitably.
"If the foregoing proposition be true, it
necessarily follows that the full product OF
labor is the true wages of labor against all
the world-all forms of taxation under
whatever pretense. And in like manner
the rental value of the land in any COM
munity is the property of that community,
in virtue of the fact that it arises in conse-
quence of the numbers, virtue and indus
trial activities of the community. This is
lbC WnOic uOClTlU6 Oh Tile SlDRic td4 dHu
the most fundamental of human rights as
well.
Men have been divorced from the land
so long that they hardly realize that they
ever had any natural right to its use, but
must as matter of course purchase the
privilege of other men who are by COM
mon consent called the owners.
"Credence rules the world. Change the
credence of men and change of action
will surely follow. Single takers are seek
ing to change the credeDce that it is right
that some men should own the earth and
charge others for the privilege to use it
TO the rational credence that all men have
an equal right to the use ef the earth to
supply their wants.
1.-The method is simplicity itself. Our
revenue law is so framed that not line of
affirmative law is needed-only the repeal
OF the taxes on persons and the wealth
created by human labor. You touch the
button and the revenue law as it is will do
the rest"
At the close fusillade of questions were
fired at the speaker, all of which he an
swered in the best of humor and with evil
dent satisfaction to the audience, show
Ing him to be an absolute master of the
