Our Prosperity. The Canadian Single Tnxer, publish- ed in Toronto. thus expresses its view of the “ prosperity” of which we hear so much : “The pages of the Globe are full of accounts of our ahuunding prosperity. Every few days a fresh list of factories is published. recording the increased output and increased number of hands employed. To the Globe, and the ave- rage man who reads it, this is satisfying evidence of general prosperity, even though he himself is hard up. But prosperity, to be real, should include all workers; and, yet if a man on a. small salary, the mechanic or the laborer, is asked if he is any better off than helwas a few years ago, in nine cases out of ten he will tell you, no, not so well. He will tell you that house rent has in- creased faster than wages, and that the [additional cost of food and clothingr leaves him a smaller margin than be- fore. What, then, is the meaning of this so-callcd ‘prosperity?’ Is work not more plentiful? Are our exports and imports not increasing at an un- precedented rate? And are not our waste lands being settled by thousands from older and less favored countries? Yes, all this is true, and it indicates what is called ‘ prosperity.’ Neverthe- less the industrial classes have little share in the benefits. It is ‘ prosperity for the prosperous.’ Our manufactur- ers are growing rich, and, as. a result are demanding more protection, and there is every indication that the Government at Ottawa will yield to their importu- nity. The value of land in Manitoba and the North-west is advancing by leaps and bounds. Holders of electric and other franchises are reaping a bar- vest, and the whole fraternity of monop olists and holders of special privileges are getting wealthy: it certainly is a time of prosperity for them: But as long as the conditions. are such that the monopolists: profit by good times, the average citizen must content himself with seeing the schemcr and the exploit- er prosper, while he reads of prosperity in the papersâ€"to ‘expericncc it is not for him. There is only one way by I .cwhieh permanent good"‘timcs may be ‘. secured, and a prosperity produced in which the worker will not only get his full share, but in which the exploiter 'will have none. It is the simple expe- dient of taxing me‘n according to the value of the public property which they hold. without regard to whether they use it or keep-it idle. In other words, it is the removing of all taxation from business, from improvements to proper- ty. ceasing to fine men for doing useful things, building houses or employing labor, but making them pay to the com- » munity the annual value which the. com- munity gives to the land by reason of public improvements and the presence of population. In this way monopoly will be destroyed and labor benefited. It is only in this way that genuine pros- perity that will apply to all workers can be produced, and those who. are wise 'will do their best to bring it about. This is ‘ Single Tax.’ ” m A Definition of Right. Under the above heading, the Cleve- ,land Citizen,,which is not a Socialist paper, says :~ ‘ “ Capt. Kidd believed it was hisright to skim the seas and plunder whomso ever he plased; Dick Turpin was king of the highway, and assorted his right to levy tribute on all ‘who came in his way ;- the feudal barons contended that it was their right to compel armies of owner. said it was his right to compel 'his slaves towork in his industry; old Vanderbilt claimed it was his right to ‘pile on. all: the trafii‘c will bear,’ his descendants are doing the same, and5 Jesse James enfcrced his right to some of the spoils, the only difi'erence being that the Vanderbilts find enough fool while Jesse had too few on his side. his right to gain control of the natural resources of the country ;. and. the suc- cess that he and his colleagues are hav- ing is causing a bowl of indignation to go up among those who. feel the iron heel and 'are wondering whether they have any rights. Might has always en- serfs to toil for them, and the slave- , voters to. concede them those rights, ’ Rockefeller is demonstrating that it is . New School Regulations. The new regulations respecting the High School Examinations provide'as follows : ‘- The literature of Part 1 shall em- brace the careful reading of at least four suitable works selected by the Prin- cipal for each pupil, from a list in sup- plementary reading in English litera- ltUl‘C prepared by the Public School inspector.” Inspector Knight has prepared the following list for use in the schools of E Ist Victoria: Recommendedâ€"1 Rip Van Winkle, by lrving; 2 Michael, by Wordsworth ; 3 .llul'tc D'Arthur, by Tennyson; 4 The King ol the Golden River, by Ruskin.
