THE SINGLE TAX swINDLE AND
PROPOSED TRUST.
Editor Providence News:
1t IL difficult to determine which con-
| spiracy to rob the wage Garner Is the
worst, free trade or the single land tax
Free trade Is that neat little game OF
| bunco by which our home market Is to
be glutted with foreign competitive goods
and four millions OF our honest. deserv-
ing bread winners to be forced to loaf and
the rest to labor for two thirds and some-
times half price. that men with fat salar-
ies and plenty OF money may purchase
foreign and domestic goods cheaper.
The single land tax is that neat thimble
rig device by which the wealthy. with
hundreds of millions OF dollars worth of
personal property. are to be exempted
from taxation. millionaires' palaces are
also TO be exempt from all taxation the
buildings and machinery OF great manu-
featuring plants. like the Knights. God
dards. Ives. Browns and others are like
wise to be free from all taxation, and for
what purpose? For the purpose OF socking
the tax right upon the wage earner's
humble $1,000 home; but a piratical scheme
that no such man as Col. Goddard would
countenance.
| do not say that this proposed swfndle
Is supported by all single takers for that
identical purpose any more than l would
charge all anti-imperialists with being as
base as their prototypes Judas Iscariot.

many OF them are merely. like dog Tray.

though the foregoing wholesale pillage OF
the comparatively poor bread winner were
not sufficiently tough for the owner OF
little home, IL is even proposed to com
bine the two thieveries and form thereby
great combination swindle n gigantic
monopoly OF systematic plundering OF the
common people.
There are some problems that are some
