day in the suit of Thomas Miner Har-
rison VS.. J. A. Magoon, +. b. McStock-

$4,000 as damages for an alleged
breach of a contract entered into at
Auckland between The African, Pacific

in favor of defendants on demurrer but
remands the case for further proceed
ings.

The victories Of Tom johnson in
Cleveland, Jones in Toledo and the
three-cent fare ticket in Columbus
has aroused the Republicans to the
fact that the people favor municipal
ownership. Charles w. Dick, chair
man of the Republican state conven-
tion OF Ohio, who is the chief hench-
man Of Hanna and the president made
a speech at Columbus before the Pres
identlal Postmasters Association, in
which he marked out some startling
departures from usual Republican cam
paign issues and indicated what to
expect in the next Republican state
platform, Dick said he favored gov
ernment ownership OF all means Of
communication and that he fully in
dorsed the postal savings system.
Sooner or later" he said, "the tele-
graph and telephone lines of the coun-
try will be owned and operated by the
government, and it Is proper they
should be, for II the government can
send a message by wire for cents It
has no right to permit a private cor
poration to extort 25 cents for the
same service"
Dick betrayed no sign that this was
the first time he ever spoke on the
municipal ownership side OF the ques-
tion and the postmasters, recognizing
1t as a new slogan, applauded the senti-
ment vigorously.
1t Is also stated that an important
conference Of Ohio Republican leaders
was held at which 1t was decided to
get into the field first with the decla-
ration for municipal ownership.
This sudden change Of mind Of Re-
publicans on the issue they have al
ways been fighting brings to mind the
declaration against trusts in the Ohio
Republican platform Of two years ago
and the turning down OF Attorney
General Monett, the only man in their
party who had shown any effort to
curb the trusts. That Hanna, McKin-
ley and Dick really favor municipal
ownership is too absurd to even be
swallowed by an Ohio granger from
the back counties, for they have for
three or four years been ardent sup
porters Of Public Policy, a Chicago
publication that is published in the
interests of corporations that own
municipal franchises.
The perfection Of the Republican ma
chine in Ohio is brought to the light
by this meeting Of Republican most

Sir Christopher Furness, M. p, tho
wealthy shlp-builder shlp-owner and
railroad president, In II recent article
In the London Daily Mall combats the
demand which Is springing up In Eng
land to re-institute protective duties
upon iron and steel products etc, In
order TO prevent the British market
being flooded by the "bllllon-dolar
Steel Trust"
He says Instead OF restricting the
natural development Of industry; in
stead OF trying to divert trade from Its
natural channels by so-called protec-
tive tariffs, which confer special priv
ileges and create monopolles by means
OF which the few benefit at the eX-
pense OF the many, we should, main
tain, carry to their logical conclusion
the great free-trade principles, AS yet
exchange Is only partially free, and
before We can have true freedom Of
trade not exchange only but produc-
tion also must be free from all monop-
olies and restrictions, The question Of
our mineral rents and royalties must
be dealt with, Sir Isaac Lowthian
Bell estimates that the royalties on a
ton of pig iron from lronstone, coal,
etc. amounts to $3.50 in Scotland and
SLIGO in northern England, while In
Germany 1t is only $O,12,
"our present system OF taxation op-
crates in a large part as direct fine
upon trade and industry, The true
fiscal policy for this country is not
protection, but the gradual transfer
ence to land values of the dead weight
OF rates and taxes that now hampers
trade and industry, The taxation Of
land values would loosen the grip OF
the land monopolists, and labor and
capital could then secure on reasonable
terms land for farming, mining, build
Ing, manufacturing, etc,
Protection is economically unsound.
We must If our trade and industry are
to survive, move step by step toward
the free trade ideal"

A FAMOUS OLD HOUSE.

The house OF Walter Baker & Co.,
whose manufactures OF cocoa and
chocolate have become familiar In the
mouth as household words, was estab-
llshed ono hundred and twenty-one
years ago (l7S0) on the Neponsot river
In the old town OF Dorchester, suburb
OF Boston, From tho little wooden
mill, "by the rude bridge that arched
the food" where the enterprise was
FIRST started, there has grown up the
largest industrial establishment Of the
kind In the world. II might be said
that, while other manufacturers como
and go, Walter Baker 6 Co., 80 on for
ever.
What Ia the secret Of their great sue
Cess2 II Is very simple one. They
have won and held tho confidence OF
the great and constantly increasing
body Of consumers by always main
taining the highest standard in the
quality OF their cocoa and chocolate
preparations, and selling them at the
lowest price for which unadulterated
articles of good quality can bo put
upon the market. They welcome hon
est competition; but they feel Justified

ferlor preparations arc palmed of on
customers who ask for and suppose
they are getting tho genuine articles.
The best grocers refuse to handle such
goods, not alone for the reason that,
In tho long run, II doesn't pay to do It,,
but because their sense of fair dealing
will not permit them to Nid'ln the sale

LIGHTING THE WAY
TO INDUSTRIAL FREEDOM IN
THIS REPUBLIC.
ColoTodo Is blazing the Way by Chang
Ing Its Consultation 40 NJ to Admit
tho Single Tax Idea to TrlaI-wnl
Come Like q Whlrlwind.

The people OF the state OF Colorado
are TO be congratulated upon the fact
that the governor has signed the bill
providing for the submission to popu-
lar vote Of the proposed constitutional
amendment giving to the voters OF any
county the right to determine whether
or not they will exempt personal prop
erty and improvements on land from
taxation for local purposes. The
amendment will be voted on In Noyem-
Der, 1902, II looks now as though the
Centennial state Is destined to blaze
the way to industrial freedom for her
sister states. The Empire state or the
Old Bay state may yet outstrip her,
for In neither OF them Is II necessary
10 amend the constitution in order to
secure local option In taxation, An act
OF the legislature is all that Is neces-
sary either in New York or Massachu-
sets,
But whether Colorado shall be the
first state to exempt the products Of
Industry from taxation or not, she has
won the honor Of having taken the
first step toward Industrial emanclpa-
tlon, And the emphatic and almost
unanimous vote Of her legislators In
both senate and assembly indicates
that she has put her hand to the pillow
and will not look back, AT last the
way out OF the wilderness OF restrlc-
tlons, fetters and hampers, into the
promised land OF freedom, progress,
and happiness, lies open to the people
of one sovereign state of this Union,
II is delightful to contemplate that In
less than two years from now there
may be an American county in which
industry will not be fined nor enter
prise penallzed; In which the right of
the producer to enjoy the results of his
labor will be practically recognized,
and no assessor will dare to molest or
make him afraid,
No one who has thought at all on
the subject can wonder that so hldeous
a system Of taxation as exists in this
country should be 80 unpopular with,
and hateful to, free and spirited peo-
pie, Well may they exclaIm, as many
Of them are beginning to do, "oh,
wretched people that we are, who shall
deliver us from the body of this
death?'
No wonder that the people OF New
Zealand, who for twelve long, dreary
years endured the horrors Of the sys-
TEN, cling so tenaciously to the min
istry that delivered them from Its mis-
cries, But 1t is passing strange that
people descended from such sires as
the American people are descended
from should so long have groaned un-
der such a system.
There are persons among us who be-
lieve that 1t will take a long time for
the single tax to work It's way into
general application, even after 1t has
been adopted in one state or import
ant city. They are mistaken, 1t will
come in like a whirlwind, when It once
gets started The Australian ballot
ran like wild-Gre through the states of
this Union as soon as Massachusetts
adopted It; but its progress will be as
a snail's pace compared with that Of
the Australian land-value tax when 1t
Is adopted by Colorado,

The prompt conviction of a sergeant,

possible that the whole gang may be

tected the army beef scoundrels, that
shielded the thieves in Cuba, that pen
stoned polygamists and harems, that
raised the American flag over slavery
that hauled down the flag in Alaska
that gave the brother OF the president
immense army contracts, that paid
fabulous sums to ship owners for old
hulks that would not float, and that
promoted an officer because by forg-
cry, bribery and lying he gained the
