Th" Henry George system.

Georges theory Of taxation is frequently
referred to, suggesting the possibility that
1t contains remedy against the Ills we
bear under our present manner OF laying
and collecting taxes.
Henry George promises by his plan larger
tribute 10 the usury takers. larger wages TO
the laborcr, and larger fund for the poll

he does not propose any plan for money
Issues nor currency circulation and TINT

charges shnll De payable in money and IT
can not he done without either new mode
OF currency issue or BellamSstIc system
Of accounting between the people and their
proposed landlord the government
Inc land values he mentions would be
arbitrary ass, ssments when ownership Of
land indicated no power TO extract money
from customers, being robbed OF marh'i
value by his proposition, to confiscate land
tbs oouliscdting remit.
Henry George successfully overturns
some OF the old philosophers regarding pub
lie economies and plainly shows wrons III
loetl0hs Travelled by our land laws and
customs but in his search for the true
basis for equitable taxation upon which TO
noses he iailcd to meet with success.
In Major Sayors' speech on he Dinglcy
