Mr.. Gage styled the opposition the
Confusion party" and quoted from the
! party Endorsements to prove that the

single tax doctrine. He remarked that the
Democrats, alarmed and dismayed over
the situation, were declaring that single
tax was not an issue.
My opponent" aid Mr.. Gage, has de-
clared in Congress in favor of single tax
The convention of Democrats and Popu-
| lists Endorsed him. Now tell me, have
they not made his acts ian issue in the
campaign"
IF the single tax system of placing all
tax on land should prevail the railroads
would pay no taxes. The farmer who
owned farm and the mechanic who had
saved little money to buy home would
be compelled to bear all the burdens
