SIMPSON ON SINGLE TAX.
Kansas Ex-Congressman Addresses a
Vast Chicago Audience.

Chicago, Feb. 13.-When ex-CongresS-
man jeremiah Simpson of Kansas and
Henry George of New York, the son of
the reformer whose name he bears, ap-
peared on the stage at Handel hall yes
terday afternoon they were greeted by
a large audience which had assembled
TO listen to Mr.. Simpsons address on
1.-The Single Tax" It was the biggest
assemblage in the history of the lee
lures instituted by the Single Tax club
last November.
Mr.. Simpson said he had not come to
Chicago especially to talk to the Single
Tax club that being simply an incident.
The antitrust conference had attracted
him, he asserted but he was glad of
an opportunity to explain how the
single tax would affect the farmer and
the labOring man. He held that when
the late Mr.. George issued Progress
and Poverty the owners of real estate
gave out the story that it was a scheme
to put a new tax on land and that
therefore the farmers would be affected
most. Mr.. Simpson declared that this
phase was made an issue in one of his
campaigns and he was compelled to eX-
plain wherever he spoke that the theory
of Mr.. George contemplated a tariff on
land values, and therefore the farmer
would not suffer like taxpayers in the
city.
He said that if the single tax were
put on land values throughout the coun-
try the $1,000 100000 estimated annual
income would be more than enough to
pay all expenses of the government,
state, county, and municipal organiza-
tons, even if the national government
were more extravagant than the pres
ent administration had shown itself to
be. He declared his object was to shift
the cost of maintenance back on the
rich people. because they are the prop
erty holders.
LAS to the effect of the single tax
upon the labOring man" said Mr. Simp-
son, IF I can say a few words that
will set them to thinking I will feel
that my mission here has not been use
less. They will never correct their evils
by strikes, trades unions or shorter
hours. They must hit at the root of all
the trouble, and to do that nothing
but the single tax viii avail"

tory Of the laboring class in England
from the fifteenth and sixteenth cen

Mr.. Bryan's Speech.

Mr.. BRYAN said:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
l am greatly obliged to the committee
for the invitation which enables me to
participate in the celebration of Labor
Day at this place. This day has been
wisely set apart by law to emphasize the
dignity of labor and for the consideration
of those subjects which especially affect
the interests of the wage-earner. The
laboring men constitute so large and so
indispensable a portion of the population
that no social, economic or political
question can be treated without an in
vestigation of their connection Herewith.
But there are some questions which touch
them Immediately, while others only OPP
crate upon them in a general way.
The first thing to be considered is the
laboring mans ambition; what are his
aims and his purposes; for what is he
striving? The animal needs only food
and shelter because he has nothing but
a body to care for; but mans wants are
more numerous. The animal complains
when it is hungry, and is eontented when
its hunger is appeased; but man, made in
the image of his Creator, is a three fold
being and must develop the head and the
heart as we'll as the body. He is not sat
isfied with mere physical existence;
neither will he be content unless all
avenues of advancement are open to
him. His possibilities must be unlimited
as his aspirations.
In other countries and other civilza-
tions, men have been condemned by birth
to particular occupation, place or cas-
tie; in this country, each man, however
or wherever born, can strive for the high
est rewards in business, state or church,
and these avenues of advancement must
be kept open.
LABOR AND CAPITAL ARE FRIENDS.
No civilization can be considered per-
feet which does not plant hope in the
breast of every child born into the world.
the nearer we approach to this ideal, the
better is our civilization. Those who
complain of existing conditions cannot be
put aside as disturbers of the peace. To
seek remedy for every abuse of govern
ment is more patriotic than to profit by
bad systems and then frown down all
criticism. There should be no antagon-
ism between those engaged in the various
occupations, and there will be none when
all recognize the mutual obligations
which are due between citizens. Our de-
sire should be, not to separate the peo-
pie into warning factions, but to bring
them into better acquaintance and greater
sympathy with each other. The enmity
which the poor sometimes feel toward
the rich and the contempt which the rich

But why quote from newspapers as to
what may be done hereafter in the pres
ence of a law already enacted which
makes subjects of the Porto Ricans,
withdraws from them the guarantee of
the Constitution and asserts the power
of the President and Congress to govern
them without their consent and tax them
without representation--a power as UNI
limited and tyrannical as ever was as
serted or exercised by any ruler in all
the history of the human race? This doc
trine has not yet been approved by the
people; it furnishes the supreme ques-
ton of the present campaign. In the
presence of these perils the laboring man
has responsibility commensurate with
his opportunity. Without a large per-
centage of the laboring vote no party can
win an election in the United States
The men who work for wages can by
throwing their votes on the one side or
other determine the policy of this coun-
try. They need not march in parades;
they need not adorn themselves with the
insignia of any party, but on election
day their silent ballots can shape the
destiny of this nation, and either bring
the government back to its ancient
landmark or turn it into the pathway
followed by empires of the old world.
