Dear Sir. It doe one
good to eee an editor of a first-
class paper coma oat boldlj and saj
Jet the platform be absolute free
trade."
The people are beginning to think
the papers are a 'raid to speak the
troth. Isajthe trouble with the
country to-daj is landlordism. I
qnote from the can? ass of the tene
ment hou districts of mj citj:
A population of 1,332,773 living
in 39,138 tenement booses, of which
2,316 are rear houses; of this swarm-
ng population 180,359 are babiee
under fire jears.
A rear tenement house is a build-
ind sbnt In bj other buildings, with
out proper drainage, and without
resb air.
The reason this Is so is because
land Is eo high.
To take the taxes off of houses,
will make bouses cheap, and to put
the taxes on land will make land
cheap.

Dear Sin Tour bold stand
tor "'absolute free trade," is
grand, and the "single tax" is its
logical conclusion, which aim pi j
gires God bis rent. All we bare to
do is to pass a law for private bands
to keep oB and let the rent run into
the public treasury. People are
anxious to paj the price to exclude
from a plat of land to some one,
and more anxious to paj into the
the public treasury than into private
pockets, because it takes the tax off
of his home and labor,, therefore
hands oB and it will run into the
public treasury, and not only give
yon your equal right to land but
save the enormous expense of the
tax collectors. Natural law is
marrelous in its simplicity.
Truly,
C. B. Power.

Editor Cbaritox Courixr,
Keytesville, Mo.,
Dear Sin I write to commend
your editorial utterances, especially
those of U ay 25th last, when yon
say 'If the appeal becomes necessary
let the Democratic platform be ab
solute free trade, cut' down and dig
up root and branch the entire infa
my." These are wise, patriotic and
brave words. They are so because
they call forth wisest, most patri
otic and eourageoTM principles
and tpoUcy the country is saost in
need of. Trade! What is trade but
a superior mode of proteetrea, ' i. e.
the bringing forth or procmring the
good things of life. Without trade
dvillxationcould cot exist; we would
revert to barbarism, w&ere and
wben everyone prodsced for him
setf the things he used.
Production, as ws understand It,
cocld not exist without trade. And
if we ovet trade, why the interfere
wIcq wnatwe must, wita -wnat we
tike to, do? All trade shooid be free.
It not free, i t is not trads ra the true
meaning -c! the word. For just to
theexteot that trad is hindered,
hasaperec. it lacks the essential
chscaeterktJcs of trade: free ex
chaegs of production. Bat tariffs,
lipases, etc, are not the only things
that hasnper and lessen prsduction.
Anything and everything tkat make
the snaking and possession of things
more exftensire than etnerwise
would have been the ease, Interfere
1th and lesson the production.
Taxes on industry or Its products.
of coarse we must have govern
ments (nataral, state, county, town
ship and taanlcipal) and so must
have money wherewith to pay the
governmental expenses. Bst be
cause this is so, it does not follow
that we must tax industry or its
products. For apart from industry
and its prodacts, there is a source,
or fund, specially, as It were, provid
ed or designed by Ood (or nature, if
yon please.) in the appearance and
development of society, for that
Terr purpose. I mean for defraying
governmental expenses. This fund
or source is the community-produced
aloe of land, a alae that comes
and rises with the appearance and
increaee o! population, and grows as
population increases and decreases
as (and if) population decreases. It
is thus a sell regulating fund, or af
fair, and works to a nicety. Land
values and the need ol government,
or the need of money for defraying
governmental expenses, all corns
from population, this being so, why
not taks the one (land valoe) for
the other, L e for defraying govern
mental expenses? Can anything be
mors natural, simple, sensible, and

wise? This means a single tax
on the vzilai of land irrespective ol
area and improvements. Yes, lets
adopt the single tax, the discovery
of lieory George. The adoption
thereof will be as much of an im
provement on free trade, as free
trade is better than enslaved trade,
trade restricted and lesseaed by tar
iffs. The single-tax adopted, not
only shall we have entirely freed pro
duction, but shall also bave freed
land, the first and most necessary
element, or factor in production.
We shall then have freed natural op
portunities to the use of free, com
peting capital, and to labor. For
who will or can hold land out ot use
when so to do would ental financial
lose? Consequently, land that is
now held out of use (for speculative
purposes,) would under the single
tax be either put to proper use or
abandoned, be free to whomsoever
wooldfjo on it and nee it. Aod in
freeing trade, production and land,
we shall have freed, emancipated
A,haU have saved the industrial
qaestlon, t? hich means plenty and
suitable work for all wishing work
aod the Jail reward of labor, bosl-
oes booming, general propriety and
reasonable contentsaeat, involun
tary poverty and the fear of such
poverty absllshed, and U1 the vices,
tates&perance, greed, crimes and deg
radation that spring, an the place,
from involuntary poverty and the
dread ol such poverty, would there
by be eradicated. God would be
glorified, peace would reign and good
would prevail among men; and
people would, because then nuey
could (arnica now they generally con
not) "do onto others as they woild
have others do noto them."
Hoping and asking that yon will
kindly give space in your esteemed
paper to this letter and also (if pos
sible) to inclosed single-tax platform,
I remain, sir.
Keepecttully yours,
F. G. AxncitaoN
P. S. Why not editorially discuss
this single-tax question in your pa
per,it's a question of great public in
terest and people are paying more
attention to it than ever before.

SIXSLX TAX rLATFORlf.
We assert as our fundamental prin
ciple the self-evident truth en on dat
ed in the declaration ot American in
dependence, that all men are created

-mile dash $5

equal and are endowed by their crea
tor with certain inalianable rights.
We hold that all men are equally
entitled to the use and enjoyment of
what God has created and of what Is
gained by the general growth and
Improvement of the community of
which they are a part. Therefore no
oae should be permitted to hold nat
ural opportunities without a fair re
tarn to all for any special privilege
thus accorded to him, and that val
ue which the growth and improve
ment ot the community attach to
land should be taken for the use of
the community.
We hold that each man is entitled
to all that his labor produces. There
fore no tax should be levied on the
products of labor.
, To carry out these principles we
are in favor ot raising all public rev
enues for national, state, coucty and
municipal prpos-e by a single tax
cpon land values, irrespective of
improvements, and of the abolition
a! all forme of direct and indirect
taxation.
;Since In all our states we mw levy
some tax oa the alue of load, the
single tax can be instituted or the
simple and easy way of aboUehlng,
oce after another, all other taxes
mw levied, and concmensarately in
creasing the tax on land valves, un
til we draw cpon that one socrce for
aU -expenses of government, Cue rev
ear e .being divided betweest local
goernmenta,etate fpvernmesrts and
the .general government, as the rev
enue from direct taxes isnowdivid
ed between the local .and state gov-
ern scents; or a direct assessment be
ing scade by tfce genesal government
upon the states and paid by them
from revenues collected in this man
ner.
Thecingle tax we propose Is net a
tax on Jand.and therefore would sot
fall on the use of land aad become a
tax on labor.
It Is a tax, not on land but on the
value of land. .Thas it would not
fall on all land, but only on valuable
land, and on that not In proportion;
to ths use mads of it, bnt la propor
to its value the premium which the
nser of land must pay to ths owner,
either In purchase money or rent, for
permission to use valuable land. It
would thus be a tax not on the nse
or Improvement of land, but on the
ownership ot land, taking what
would otherwise go to the owner as
owner and not as nser.
In assessment nnder ths single tax
lbllLlo)liiiiSl II E
1st; $3 to 2d and
to 1st, $3 to 2d and
all values created by individual use
or improvement would be excluded,
and the only value taken into con
sideration would be the value at
taching to the bare land by reason
of neighborhood, etc., to be deter
mined by impartial periodical as
sessments. Thus the farmer would
have no more taxes to pay than the
speculator who held a similar, piece
of land idle, and the man .who on a
city lot erected a valuable building
would be taxed no more than the
man who held a similar lot vacant.
The single tax, in short, would call
upon men to contribute to the pub
lic revenues, not in proportion to
what they produce or accumulate,
but in proportion to the vaJneot the
natural opportunities they hold. It
would compel them to pay just as
mnch for, holdtag land idle as for
putting it to its fullest use.
The single tax therefore would

perfect freedom of trade as now ex
ists between she states of our Union,
thus-enabling our people to share,
throcgh free exchanges, in all the
advantages which natcre has given
to other countries, or which the pe
culiar skill of other people has enab
led them to attain. It would destroy
the trusts, monopolies aad corrup
tions which are the outgrowths of
ths tariff. It would do away with
ths fines and penalties now levied on
anyone who Im proves a farm, erects
a house, builds a machine, or in any
way adds to the general stock of
wealth. It would leave everyone

taking for public use that value
which attaches to land by reason of
the growth and improvement of the
community, make the holding of
land unprofitable to the mere owner,
and profitable only to the user. It
would thus make it impossible for
speculators and monopolists to hold
natural opportunities unused or on
ly half-used, and would throw open,
to labor the illimitable field of em
ployment which the earth offers to
man. It would thus solve the labor
problem, do away with involuntary
poverty, raise wages in all occupa
tions to the full earnings of labor,
make over-production impossible-nn-til
all human wants are satisfied,
render labor-saving inventions a
blessing to all and cause such an
enormous production and such an
equitable distribution of wealth ass
would give to all comfort, leisure
and participation in the advantages
of an advancing civilization.
With respect to monpolies other
than the monpoly of land, we hold
that where free competition becomes)
impossible, as in telegraphs, rail
roads, water and gas supplies, etc,
such business becomes a proper so
cial function, which should be con
trolled and managed by and for the
whole people concerned, through
their proper government, local state
or national, as may be.
