,4,D RENTS UNDER FREE TRADE.

The eagerly urged plan Of Cobdente econo-
mists in Great Britain To impose a heavy tax on
land In order to meet the cost of old age pen
sionS and make the budget balance. IS chiefly
based upon two propositions one OF these IS
derived from the teachings of the late Mr.. Henry
George and is 10 the effects that In any pro-
gressiye country the rent of land is a quantity
which increases not only absolutely but also
relatively to the whole national income: from
which Mr. George argued that II the land rent
we're appropriated as a tax by the state 40 other
taxation would he needed. The other PROPOSE
ton put forward by Cobdenite economists is
that the benefits Of free trade nave thus far
been mainly absorbed in rent.
These propositions are vigorously and elfec-
lively attacked 10y Mr. w. II. Mallock the
basis Of undlsputed statistics of the national in
come of the total land rent and of the agricult-
ural rental Of the kingdom since free trade came
into operation. In the years 1891, 1880 and
1906 respectively he shows that the gross na-
tional income was E2J7.0oo.00o. t577O00o00 and
1925 100000 In the same years the total land
rent was E5S,0OO.OOO. f9s.OO0.00o and f105.00o,
o0O The rent was thus. indeed. absolutely
increasing quantity. But instead Of increasing
relatively 10 the whole income II decidedly de-
creased, since 1t formed a percentage of % iii
1851, of II in 1880 and OF only If in 1906.
Taking also the rental of agricultural lands
alone Mr. Malock shows that in 1914, under
protection, it 81 per cent Of the gross in
come. and that under free trade # only
1871 in 1851. 10 in 1880 and 5ls in 1906 These
figures. Mr.. Mallock reasonably contends. dis
prove the two propositions which the de-
mand for land tax is based and practically
prove the reverse of them.
OF course, il may be said in reply that Mr..
Georges proposition referred TO a progressive
country and that the United Kingdom is not
progressive. That is a view Of the case which
should think the British people would he
most reluctant 10 accept. But if il were 10 be
accepted. the obvious result would be 30 rule ont
Mr.. Georges theory as napplicahe to that coun-
try: and also, perhaps, 10 raise the questions
why the kingdom is not progressive and whether
the prevalence Of free trade has anything TO do
with its lack Of progress. If is indeed, scarcely
disputed that free trade has been bad for landed.
and especially agricultural, interests. The Cob
denites have admitted as much, but have held
that the advantages of the system to other inter
ests more than made up for the loss to land.
But surely it would suggest II curious conception
of equity TO impose heavy tax for the main
tenance of free trade upon industry which
free trade had all but ruined.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

Expected disturbance in the foreign financial
markets as a consequence of Turkish develop
ments failed to develop last week. and Euro
ance in the New York market, but took large
amounts Of American railway mortgage issues
for permanent income yield It is confidently
believed in banking circles that Europe will be-
come an active factor in the financing of new
security 1otations in the current year. while it
is common knowledge In the Street that i'm
portant negotiations for the participation OF
London, Paris and Berlin bankers In forthcom-
ing operations by some of our large railroads
already are under way. The great financial IN
stitutions abroad hold upward of 100000 600
more gold than they held this time last year
and this, in connection with the heavy additions
to our own reserves, promises to encourage an
active investment demand and stimulate to
greater degree speculative transactions. Prices
on the New York Stock Exchange showed
further improvement last week the leading
shares making a new high record for the year
on Thursday. though reacting somewhat before
the close, which showed for the prominent rails
an average of 1925 against 122 in the pre-
ceding week. and for the chief industrials an
average Of 1888, a gain of 2.42
Speculation in stocks and wheat on borrowed
money and gold exports are responsible for a
slightly firmer tendency in call loans while for
long maturities rates also are a trife higher

demand for time accommodation. A larger voIuroe
of business than that recently recorded is noted.
