ceitful and dishonest. 1t is for this
reason that they are so ignorant. But
if there existed in the world but one
community of honest men, they would,
by that stern and holy selfishness with
which they would guard their own
right, soon discover the Single Tax, and
the institution of this scheme would
compel all other countries to do like
wise.
Read the old miners code in Califor-
MIA
6. Mr.. Wage would put the Single
Tax upon all lands, whether owned by
poor widows or by rich widows; poor men
or rich men. What has poor widow
to do with the subject? The Single Tax
will marry off all the poor widows
quicker than you can say "Jack Robin
son! -
The queries raised by cd. j. So are:
1. Would the people, under the Single
Tax, own their own lands as now, or
would the government own them?
2. If A should rent lot and build
81 900, 900 building on it, and B would
offer to pay higher rent for the lot,
how would A and B settle for the build
ing?
I shall answer these as follows:
Land Titles Unchanged.
1. Under the Single Tax the title will
remain unchanged. And if the Single
Tax is not paid the property will be sold
for taxes as we do now. The selling
value of the land should equal the tax
See Wages article. Under the Single
Tax the government would have title
in no lands except such as would be de-
voted to government uses. Any person
could take up, free of charge, or for
nominal fees for registration, land to
which no value attached
2. The government has nothing to do
with improvements upon land. If the
Single Tax was not paid, the land would
be sold for the tax, just as it now is. If
there were improveme upon it, the
tax would undoubtedly be lien upon
them. If the taxpayer thought the
tax was too high, courts could easily
settle the matter as to whether the sell
ing value of the land was equal to the
tax. w. F. COOLING.

the questions raised by correspondence
with reference to his article on the
Single Tax.
Two communications have appeared
in THE CONSERVATIVE, one by Mr.. G. J.
Foyer and the other signed by D. J. S.
1t is quite possible that these inquirers
are Single Tax men who wish to draw
out discussion. Nevertheless they raise
the questions which are in good faith pre-
sented by nearly every person to whom
the Single Tax is for the first time made
known.
Mr.. Foyer presents the following
queries:
1. Will not the landlord shift the tax
upon the tenant, as he does all other
taxes today?
2. What benefit would the laborer
derive from the Single Tax?
3. If you were to levy all taxes on
land no one would own it.
4. Is there not plenty Of idle land out
West? And if so, why don't the people
go out there?
5. If the Single Tax would do every
thing he states, why don't the people
get it?
6. What would Mr.. Wage do for
the poor widow who had saved few
dollars and had purchased a piece of
land and it was the only means of her
support? Would he tax it out of her
possession?
The Shifting of Taxes.
shall answer Mr.. Foyer's questions,
enumerated above, as follows:
l. The landlord does not now shift
the tax which falls upon the value of his
land. The only tax which can be shifted
is the tax upon capital and wealth.
Taxes upon wealth, check production,
and hence tend to diminish the guam
tity of wealth in existence, and hence
enable those who produce and deal in
such articles to charge more for them.
The tax is part of the cost of produc-
ton, and is generally shifted to the con-
sumer But tax on land-values tends
to make land cheaper. 1t is clear that
the tax which falls upon valuable vacant
land cannot be shifted by the landlord,
because he has no tenants. But when
the tax practically equals it's annual
value, the landlord who does not use his
own land would be ruined by the tax if
he should continue to pay it. There is
no way by which he could get it back
again. All economists agree that the
tax on land-values cannot be shifted
But, as the landlord is compelled to
hunt for tenants, he is obliged to find
tenants who will pay the whole tax for
him-that is, the full value of the land.
Such land will have to be rented low
The Conservative, 1901-07-04
Tbe Conservative.

Tax brings into use, at lower prices,
greater area of valuable land, it does
not increase the number of tenants.
And the rent will fall to that sum which
equals the value of land when all val
liable land is in use. Thisis the amount
the tenant would pay; that is, the Single
Tax would collect from the landlord,
and he could not collect any more from
the tenant, because it is impossible to
raise the price of land where the demand
is falling off by reason of an increased
supply.
The Benefit to Labor
2. The laborer would get the product
of his labor; he would not have to pay
speculative monopoly-rent He would,
like Adam, have free access to the nat
ural bounties, and he would have equal
access to the land to which the presence
of civilized community had given a
value. He would have access to the
store-house of nature (free land) and he
would have access to the store-house of
man (civilization) upon terms of justice
and equality. If in England in 1892 the
wages Of an unskilled farm laborer was
equal to the purchasing power of $2.67
(Throrold Rogers, professor, Oxford),
when one-third of the best lands of
England was leased out by the monas-
teries to the people on low (economic)
rents, what would be the wages of un-
skilled labor now, when the general pro-
ductive power of labor has, by modern
devices, been multiplied many times?
If Only Land Were Taxed, Who Would
Own It?
3. 1t is not necessary that the user of
land should appropriate the rental value
of it. In all civilized countries four
fifths of the people are tenants. Thirty
thousand persons own England. And
everywhere every Landowner" holds
his title subject to the payment of taxes.
The Single Tax proposes to abolish the
taxes upon improvements and capital by
corresponding increase upon land
values. Who is going to be hurt but the
mere speculator and forestaller?
4. Every man has an equal right Of
access to the bounties of nature (land)
and to the bounty of man (civilization).
So long as there remained open to the
public, free land which was fertile and
good our people thrived, even although
they were compelled to live under
"primitive" conditions. But the civ
ilized state is mans natural state-the
natural" man is the cultivated product
of the highest civilization. We want
the benefit of our own civilization, and

NEW ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES


New Orleans. Sept. 26.-Notwith-
standing Liverpool adviceS were unfa
vorable, our market only opened
point lower, and Immediately declined
2 additional. Room traders, however,
bought for reaction, later on the ex-
oected light weekly into sight and
heavy loss in the American visible to-
morrow causing an advance of to
from the bottom, making the net gain
5 to 6 points on the day. The amount
brought into sight during the week
last years was 314,000. 1t is estimated
that this year, the movement will be
about 10000 less and as the increase in
the American visible last year for the
week was 272, 900 it stands to reason
that as the amount coming into sight
this year points to a deficit of $4,000 the
visible supply of American must rela-
lively show a large loss as compared
to last year. Spinners continue indif-
ferent and are pursuing a hand-to
mouth policy, claiming that trade in
Europe is so discouraging as to pre-
clude their taking hold on the present
level. The restricted demand accounts
for the light movement and proves that
the world is taking its actual require
ments weekly and no more, for assum'
ing Mr.. Ellison is correct on his eSti-
mate of II, 900 American consump
ton for the season, then anything over
10000 bales coming into sight per day
is surplus. Therefore, the movement in
September so far demonstrates that
the manufacturers are taking nothing
but actual requirements to keep their
mills running and evidence no DISPOSE
ton to stock up under existing condi-
tons. Differences as to outturn of
crops exist every year, and 1t is taeso
differences that create fluctuations, yet
ultimately supply and demand regu-
late values. While it is essential to
be we'll posted on the prospective yield
of a CROP. it is also equally as import
ant to be fully informed of trade con-
ditions, because frequently small crops
with poor trade are marketed at low
prices, whereas large crops with good
trade bring better values. Under pres
ent circumstances, the chances are it
will require a revival of speculation or
an improved spot demand to sustain
the market.

THE RICE MARKET.

The demand for domestic is up to
former volume; prices unchanged and
no consideration given to slightest con-
cessions which would, in some in
stances, lead to greatly enlarged BUSH
ness. Offerings are of fine color, but
in medium grades, or more properly,
styles obtainable at medium prices, the
grain is so badly broken that not a
few of the trade have once more taken
up the foreign sorts, Java, Patna and
Japan-which sell in the order stated.
Regarding the market, there Is a unan-
unity of opinion that prices must re-
cede, and as result, operations as the
rule are of most conservative order.
The more progressive, however, pur-
chase freely and dispose of goods
promptly on a ''nimble sixpence" adj
vance; as an old grocer tersely puts it,
Not much shot added to the locker,
but better something than nothing, so
long as there is enough of it,"
Advices from the South note enlarg-
ing arrivals of Carolina and readiness
t. sell at current prices. Louisiana re-
ceipts continue meagre and barely keep
pace with the demand. The reason for
light movement of crop to milling CEN
tiers, is attributed by some, to deter
mined effort on the part of planters to
market with elaboration, but by 9TH
ers, thought to be due to shortened
crops. 1t is more than likely that the
planters are busily occupied in the
work of harvesting, which is of para
mount Importance. OF no grain is 1t so
true as with rice, that "the crop is
never made until garnered," and every
energy of the wise and prudent is
therefore expended to get it under COW
er or in place of safety.
Gables and correspondence from
abroad note considerable activity in
choice selections, but marked neglect
in off grades.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
The Market Closed Quiet and steady
at AbOut the Best.

New York, Sept. 26.-The tone of to-
days stock market showed improve
ment over that of yesterday. There
was considerable evidence of realizing
still, which persisted after the opening,
and showed a tendency to recur from
time to time. but support was forth
coming on every decline, and before
the day ended the bears were gener-
ally disposed to cover their short lines,
causing practically a complete recov-
cry of all losses. Not a few stocks
showed net gains, including Amalga-
mated Copper, Anaconda, the Wander
bits, Pennsylvania, Baltimore and
Ohio, st. Paul, Chicago Great West
ern. Manhattan and Peoples Gas.
The opening losses were due to the
demoralizing effect upon copper min
ing shares in the foreign copper mar
kets of the break in Amalgamated. Rio
tintos were off over 3 points in Paris.
when the stock market opened here,
and the copper market in London had
made a further slump. London poured
out stocks freely upon the New York
market in liquidation, making the
opening active and weak. 1t became
evident very quickly that support was
to be accorded to Amalgamated Cop
per and Anaconda. Only 1000 shares
of the former and 600 shares of the
latter sold at "a below last night s
closing. All subsequent transactions
were at or above last nights level.
Both stocks fluctuated frequently dur
ing the day, but the large short in

from the shorts caused Amalgamated
Copper to recover more than yester-
days loss, and the stock closed only %
below the best. Anaconda is 3b higher
for the day.
The relief to sentiment afforded by
the recovery in Amalgamated Copper
overshadowed all other considerations.
The severe liquidation in some of the
railroad stocks, which was a feature
yesterday, was not in evidence. and the
fears felt of unfavorable developments

murphy & Co.'s Gotten Letter.

New York, Sept. ga slightly cas-
Ter tone was shown in the first sales
of cotton to-day. This was only a
limited amount of business, but despite
the slight reaction of points the feel
ing was one of hopefulness owing
largely to the continued small receipts
at ports and interior towns. This,
with the probability of early frost cut
ting down yield is having no little eff
feet. 1t is to be noted that claims of
Improvement to the crop are quite
meager, in fact, few are turning up.
The deadlock between planters and
spinners and exporters continues. The
former appear to be well fortified, and
insist on satisfactory figures which the
latter will be compelled to concede on
the first frost scare. The moderate
weather all over the South to-day
tends to restrict business. Covering of
local shorts soon wiped out the early
decline. Outside of Houston receipts
were running too low to encourage
selling. Gables were to lower.
Foreign firms were talking quite hope
fully of future of market, and conf
dent of higher values. The receipts of
cotton at Bombay for the week were
10000. against 5000 last year. The
temperature to-day was II at Mont
gomery, Vicksburg, 20; Greensboro
II; Chattanooga, Sc; Tupelo, Miss, 5S;
Augusta, 6S: Camden, S. c. Ga. In
Texas the temperature ranged from
70 to So Memphis advices are to the
effect that Arkansas river plantations
have suffered from rain. and that the
crop there is off 40 to so per cent. Re-
ceipts at ports to-day, $4,000, against
80, 900 last year.
