the hill IS several times as high as the

the saltwater front. Here We were given
an excursion on this beautiful fresa-water

famed city. Making all due allowance for
the vivid imagination OF the average Sc

all Is the inexhaustibie timber supply. The

have supplanted our home product: as yet
1t cannot cSnpete because OF the cost

that OF other North Pacific coast towns
Our party visited the United States assay
office at this place, and the ladies were
suffered TO fondle some two and a half
million dollars in gold dust and nuggets.
Seattle has many private assaying estab-
ishnen:5 which make a speciality OF the
precious yellow stuff. and We were told
that about sl0.M00oV had already been
brought down from the kloudike this sea-
son. and nearly as much more was ex-
pected at this port. The influence OF this
on all branches OF business can be readily
comprehended.
The consensus OF opinion in our party
was that Seattle would eventually be the
greatest city west of Chicago

The people are not fools. although
yellow journals and yellow orators treat
them as such The financial shftless-
ness and incapachy of the Cleveland
administration Is not an Isolated piece
OF Democratic incapacity. Under Blu
chanan, the nearest Democratic presi-
dent to Cleveland in time. the treasury
OF the government. also In a period OF
peace, was permitted to be emptied
and the credit of the nation was allowed
10 sink go low that when borrowing be-
came necessary only a small part Of the
money which was wanted could be got,
even at a discount which made the In
terest equivalent to Il per cent.
The highly-coiored journals and
speakers would better be careful how
they touch upon financial questions. as
that Is one subject which II Is irnpossi-
BILE for the Democracy to discuss intel

and the Record knew what IL was doing
when It warned Mr.. Bailey TO leave it

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.


Many people seem to think the single
tax is only a novel form of imposing
taxes and there ara many who support
Il because they hope through ii 10 es-
upon others. The constitution Of the
United States and the constitution of
the state of Washington both most wise
" and eauitabiy declare that taxation
shall be equal That is just to all men.
II II is not enforced. that Ia the fault OF
the officers. and primarily the fault of
the people who elect them, but II is not
the fault OF the law. Nothing could be
fairer than equal taxation.
But the single tax liz not merely q
method Of taxation. 1t aims at the de-
struction of private ownership of land
Politicians who make use of the single
tax idea 10 further their own interests
seek To create the impression that IT Ia
only method Of taxation By which
property now escaping It's duty can be
made to perform it. The genuine advo-
Gates of single tax are usually both sin
cere and honest and they make no such
pretense They believe that all land
should belong 20 the stale. and they
merely use the single tax as means 10
destroy private ownership Of land
Henry George was frank in HIS dectar-
alton of lis object, In his most charm
Ing book. Progress and Poverty" the
standard work on single tax ana the
evils Of private ownership. n denies the
right Of any man to own an inch of land
and he would take 1t from him by means
Of the single tax. II says (page soar

The St Louis GIobe-pemocrat says:

I'm . recent speech Mr.. Bailey, or Texas,
complimented my Democratic assistants
In congress. The old word colleagues Is
better, Mr. Bailey. even in the case of a
boy orator"
At times there is something about Mr..
Bailey. Of Texas. and his speeches. that is
hauntingly familiar. Can i, be possible
that he Is trying to !mitate-no, 1t cannot
be. Texas Is. as is well known. a pretty
tough state, but it's citizens have never
done anything that would justify Fate IN
imposing such an awful catastrophe upon
bar

I. is to be hoped that the Hon. James
Hamilton Lewis w.li finally be able to
get together with himself on the price
he asserts Senator Hanna's brother re-
ceived from the government for his
yacht, the Comanche. In the Congress
SIGNAL Record OF July IS. Vol 81. page
Washington congressman. occurs this
passage:
s.At this time . dating uished
senator's brother had yacht,
the COmnnehe, which cost $4S,-
900. II had been In use for .
long time, yet, through 'friends'
from Ohio, this yacht. after be-
ing no used, and being Of little
consequence, was sold to the
government for 100000"
This speech is said by the Record to
have been delivered February %. 1898,
although 1t did not appear in official
form for full Ave months. 1t was then
obviously revised and brought down to
date, after the usual fashion.
In the famous Maloney letter. under
date July 5. lS3s. and over the sigma
ture OF James Hamilton Lewis. appears
this statement:
"Seantor Hanna's brother has a
yacht. cost 100000 and used for
years; sold il for *i9S.OOO and
boosted of il nx n business en-
tcrprise.'r
AT the Seattle Armory, September 1,
1898. Col Lewis made a speech. and In
course of the Post-Intelligencers ac-
count September ?, 1898. occurs the fol-
lowing paragraph:
"Col. Lewis gave IN nm instance
the sale of II yacht. the Conan
che, by Senator Hanna's brother.
The speaker charged that the
yncht cost $4,000. and cost the
government *Il5,OOO."
The colonel's newspaper is on record as
vouching for the accuracy OF the Post
lntelligencer's report Of that interest
ing Armory speech, and there is there
fore no dispute as TO the figures he
gave. It thus appears that the Wash
ington congressman has variously stat
ed that Mr. Hanna sold the yacht Co
manche for sio2 900. $4,000 and $685.
900. and that its cost was $4,000 and
$50. 600. The orator ought 10 strike an
average and stick 70 IL.
II Is worth while 10 add that in
course Of this same speech In congress
Col. Lewis said tsee Record. July %,
Vol 81. page 7.5s6>:
.Asststans Secretary Roosevelt
rebeiied against this tnfamy (the
Hanna pmrcha.ep, but WAS hushed.
IL ~ publicly known that this
was one of the things which
forced him to leave the navy de-
partment."
The congressman said in his inter
view. September -, 1898. in the Seattle
Evening Times:
The Po>t-Tntelli.encer knew
that read the statement of the
cause of Hoos-~elts leaving the
navy TO the sArmorD audience
from the 81. Louis Republican and
the Philadelphia Ledger"
The stIntelligeucec knew nothing
Of the kind. but it does know from the
record that he made this untruthful
statement in congress upon his own au-
thority and without mention OF any
newspaper.
There Is, 10y the way. 10 such paper
as the st. Louis Republican. The 81
Louis Republic. which the colonel prob
ably meant. Is ii Democratic newspaper.
