California. II again returned to the
printing trade.
In 1865 he began writing for the
newspapers and most all his articles
were based on political economy. He
earned his living for long time by
writing and working as compositor.
and was eventually sent from San
Francis co to Nev York by newspa-
per. While in New York he formed
Young, the managing editor of the
| New York Tribune. Then he returned
TO California and did reportorial work
and started a paper of his own which
was successful for awhile but after
| wards failed. He had during
all this tims become d
diligent student of political economy
fluent orator on the rOstrum. In 1871
he conceived the idea for his famous
work Progress ard POVERTY" but the
book was not finished until 1879 and
then he had a hard time in getting
publisher to handle it, After first
getting the plates out in San Francisco
and selling about ! 600 copies of his
book, Appleton & Co. took it up, but
for short time the work was ignored,
but it gradually grew on the people.
until all of sudden there was a rush
and the first e1ition was exhausted.
Henry George found him fam ,us
and with plenty of means to carry on
his works on political economy. Mr.
Georges book on The Land Ques-
tion" was also much sought after aud
in it he founded his great single tax
theory, which has been gradually
growing on the people.
Mr.. George is also strict free trad
er in the full sense of the word.
Mr.. Georges book progress and
Poverty" has been translate into
French, German, Spanish, Italian,
Dutch, Swedish, Russian, japanese
and Chinese. His other books are

being an examination of Mr.. Herbert
Spencer's various utterances on the
land question, with some incidental
reference TO his synth etic philosophy.
"ProperSy in Land" passage at arms
between the duke of Argyll and Henry
George.
He spent 1881 50 in Eogland and Ire
land, where remains twice under az
rest as Suspect but on his identity
being established Gladstone ordered
his release from an Irish pr. SOP. Geor-
ge wrote of his experience to the presi-
dent and secretary F'relinghuysen
soon afterwards the English govern
ment offered to pay him damages.
George replied he wanted no damages
as his object in writing was merely to
make clear the manner in which Amer
lean citizens were tre ated in ireland.
Mr.. George was chiefly known through
speeches and books upon economic |
questions, in which be attributes the !
evils of society to the treatm ent OF land |
as subject to full individual ownership |
and contended that, while possession
of lands had been left to individuals it |

industrial and social reform was one of
| Mr.. Georges sources of amusement,
for nature has given him a quick sense
| of humor.
Physically Mr.. George was not an
| imposing parsonage. He was under
i've feet six, aud it was only his noble
head and fine face that saved him
from insigniicance. His manner was
without a trace of pose or self
consciousness. He was always himself,
and his ingenuOusness, which he carried
into politics was first the Despair and
then the inspiration of his advisers.
HIS one dissipation was a cigar, the
ashes OF which commonly accumulatr d
on his shoulder, dropped there as he
geshculated gently in conversation.
Absent-min1ed had grown upon
him with the yeas, and he left trail
OF papers and andkerchiefs where
ever he went for others to rescue His
dress was plain and careless, and the
loss of his umbrella and overcoat
and even his hat, was a weekly oc-
currence. Where he was unknown
and was silent he did not impress.
Once in Pullman car, of which he
was the only passenger, the porters
gathered and told hard-luck stories
that he overheard. On reaching the
erd OF his journey, while the tall and
condescending mulatto was bending
over him with his whisk broom, Mr..
George determined to make one poor
devil happy, and gave him all the
change he had in his pocket, several
dollars. The porter gazed on the
gorgeous tip, then at it's diminutive
bestower, threw up his hands and,
with a joyous chuckIe. cried out: "I
says it always, an says it agiu; you
never can't tell nothin' about q frog
till you sees him jump!"
You forgot all about Henry Georges
want of inches when you knew him
and heard him talk. Then he grew
large and you small. His talk was his
honest thought, and it was
his honest thought that has
made the world receive him as one of
its great men. Always he seized upon
the heart of his subject, and it was the
directness of his mind, grasping the
essential things intuitively, and wav-
ing away the incidental, that gave
value and charm to his luminous con-
What most other men came
at by hard Intellectual striving, he saw
without effort-which is to say that he
was different from most other men in
beiog mau of genius.

should be subject to payment to the

He was warm friend of silver
Bryan and the Chicago platform. M
public man in New York had more
friends and fewer enemies despite his
sharp sayings than Henry George, He
was 4 great hearted optimistic, firm
in his trust in his country, and in bet
terment of conditions for men who toll
ed. He was absolutely great.
After the election of 1886, when he
made his splendid run for mayor of
gle-tax paper, the Standard, with
whose history and the McGlynn contro-
versy New York is familiar. Two Wis
its to England. in 1888 and in 1889, fol-
lowed, and in 1890 he made q tour of
Australia by way Of San Francisco
which city of his early struggles rose to
meet him.
At Sydney he was receivod by
the mayor and other public officials at
s O'Clock in the morning in a pouring
rain. He made over a hundred ad-
dresses IN Australia. His progress was
a continuous ovation the streets beiug
frequently blockade1. Sir George Gay,
of New Z ealand, wished him to repeat
his speeches in that colony, but Mr..
George longed for home and returned
by way OF the SIez canal, getting re-
M ar kaoly cordial reception in New
York.
In September last Henry George was
nominated for mayor of Greater New
York By the silver democrats aud the
single tax theoryists and was making a
splendid showing in the race. The
race was four cornered, but Mr.. George
had the support OF the silver democrats
and the working classes and apparently
stood as good show of election as any
hard nights work, ends all things
earthly for him and throws the whole
political situation in New York into a
tumult the outcome of which is hard to
decipher. If his whole strength goes
to either of the other three candidates
in the field it will assure his election, but
the suppositiOn is that the silver dem
ocrats will be divided between Seth
Low. the citizens candidate, and Van
Wyck, the Tammany candidate, while
it is difficult to tell just who the work
ingmen's vote will go to. 1t looks al
most impossible for his followers to
settle on another candidate to fill his
place as the election is too near at
hand to make such an effort.
Henry George lived in beautiful
home, amid his books, with the wife of
his youth and his children around him.
His home at Fort Hamilton was always
open to his friends who are many and
close, and it was shrine to visitors
from the ends of the earth. The not

of "Progress aud Poverty and the

A WRITER OF much ability on econ
omic su ubjects, insists that the rich and
the poor are not equal before the law;
that they do not receive the same
treatment That the law applies in
terms to all alike, but not in fact. He
says the rich are practically above the
law; the poor are under its wheels.
Had he written his views since the
