freed by Pack of Wo1ves-Governor's
Daughter Wishes to Shine on Stage
-Rebuilding of Amberg-New Rural
Routes to Be Established.

Clinging all night to the branches Of
tree, with a pack of hungry wolves
watching below and a beating rain fall
ing, was the remarkable experience of
two men near Horseman. A. Snyder and
Paul Robarge, farmers, went to look up
some cows which failed to come home at
milking time. In their search they walk
ed mile and a half from home and as
darkness came on they heard the distant
bowling of wolves, to which they paid
little attention. They noticed, however,
that the sounds came closer, and soon
shadowy forms could be seen lurking in
the bushes. The brutes became holder as
it grew darker and the two men began to
realize the seriousness of the situation.
Believing an attempt to reach home
would be futile, and being unarmed, they
did the most natural thing under the cir
cumstances-climbed a tree. Up among
the branches the men felt safe. They
could not believe that the wolves, which
were of the large, gray variety, would
remain long in the vicinity. However,
the hours passed on and the wolves re-
manned about the foot of the tree, sitting
on their launches, with hungry eyes cast
upward. A rain had commenced falling
and as time went on and the mems cloth
ing became wet their position, which
could not be varied much, became most
uncomfortable When daylight finally
came the cowardly brutes sneaked away
into the deeper recesses of the forest and
the men yentured down to the ground and
went home.

cisco. The plates were then shipped
to New York, and soon afterWard be-
gan the phenomenal sale of the book
by the man, whom the Duke Of Ar
gyll later derisively called "The
Prophet of San Francisco" The book
received wide notice in the press and
soon was translated into many foreign
tongues. Cheap editions were pub
lished in this country and England
and were extensively circulated.
Henry George went to New York
to live in the early eighties, and in
the fall of 1881 went to Ireland as
special correspondent Of "The Irish
World" This was during the Land
League days and he took an active
part in that agitation. He visited
Great Britain in 1883, 1885, and 1889,
and made extensive lecturing trips
the land question being his theme He
had large audiences and great stim-
ulus was given to general thought
along this line. In England and Scot
land large and active propaganda or
ganizations were formed under the
name of the Land Restoration league,
the pioneers in the present single tax
movements in that country.
In 1886 Mr.. George became the may
orally candidate of the trade union
organizations of the city of New York
against Abram S. Hewitt and Theo-
dore Roosevelt, the democratic and
republican candidates, respectively.
Without political organization, news
paper support or money for any but
the barest campaign necessities, he
was accorded second place at the
polls with $4,000 votes, Hewitt being
credited with $4,000 and Roosevelt
with less than 10000. This was in
the days of the separate ballots and
Mr.. George always believed that he
was counted out" of the election,
judgment which has since been con-
firmed in the minds of many.

done and whatever have left un-
done, to that | have been true.
That VOW bore it's first fruits in San
Francisco in 1871. Mr.. George wrote
and published at his own expense a
forty-eight PACED pamphlet entitled
Our Land and Land Policy" This
he divided into five parts, namely:
"The Lands of the United States, ;"
'"The Lands of California" Land and
Labor" ''The Tendency of Our Pres
ent Land Policy and What Our
Land Policy Should Be-" In this
pamphlet he set forth the idea, en-
tirely original SO far as he was con-
cerned although he found later that
others had conceived it also, that the
value of land, irrespective of improve
ments, being value that is due to
the growth of population, is COM
mon value and should be taken for
public purposes; and that this ap-
preparation should occur through the
existing medium of taxation, all taxes
other than this one tax to be abol-
ished. He also showed that the three
factors in production-land, labor and
capital--correlate, and that where
land is permitted to become the SUBJ
ject of speculation, speculative rent
causes land to obtain more than it's
legitimate share in the distribution
of wealth, SO that wages and inter-
est, the shares respectively of labor
and capital, become correspondingly
and illegitimately lessened The tax
on the value of land would, he ar
gued, destroy land speculation, and
thus preventing speculative rent,
would restrain the factor land from
obtaining more than its natural share
in the division of the produce, and
correspondingly protect the shares of
labor and capital. He held, in other
words, that to destroy land specula-
ton by concentrating the whole bur-
den OF taxation upon the value of
The independent., 1903-05-14

land, irrespective of improvements,
would reduce rent and increase wages
and interest.
A thousand or more copies of this
pamphlet were sold, but as Mr.. George
himself said, Il saw that to command
attention the work must be done
more thoroughly"
The work was done more thorough
ly later in the form of Progress and
Poverty" the writing of which was
begun in September, 1877, and the
publication of which occurred in 1879,
although none of the larger eastern
publishing houses would touch it at
their own expense. ID. Appleton &
Co. of New York made the most lib
eral Offer which was to print and
publish the book if the author would
make the plates. This offer Mr..
George accepted and he had the type
set and the plates made in San Fran
