WM m How did the ancestors of existing British landlords get their land ? (I) By grant frm» the reigning sovereign. B} what righthad he;3 or she to take the Second, that some men have a right to the ownership and use of the earth. 'ho are they ‘2 They are those now in possession and those who have the money-power to purchase the right of the present owners. This absurd position must he defended by all who adhere to our present iniquitous system of land tenur . But it is not suflicient to admit that those now in possession of the land have a right to it. The moral title must be “searched,” not in the courts of men, but in the courts of ‘ God. ‘ Any other position than thisâ€"the equal right of all to the use of landâ€" is necessarily atheistic, and can only be supported by atheistical arguments. THE SINGLE TAX CORNER-STONE. This equal right of all to the use of land is the corner-stone of the single tax theory. lf Prof. Clark will admit this principle he must also admit its corollaries. If he denies it, he is under the necessity not only of rejecting it, but of finding anorher basis for indi- vidul rights. Man’s right to the use of land and to life are one. He may choose either of the two positions. First, that one man has a right to the ownerâ€" ‘ ship of land: that this right is vested in government. This would secure equality of right, but on an atheistic basis. Besides, (I) How can the government he possessed of properties, powers and rights of which the unitis of society aredestitute’l Even if it be admitted that the government is possessed of certain rights based on conquest, still these rights are only legal and most square with the moral law God and nature are against a legal right which involves a moral wrong, and so is man when true to God and to nature. (3) If mere physical force (conquest) gives moral rights, why should the landless consent to the perpetuations of their enslavement when they have the power to reverse conditions? Does not the denial of individual right lead to socialism (properly socalled), to communism and to anarchy? (3) I believe that when He placed man on the earth He perfectly co-related the one to the other. Man’s power to “subdue the earth,” to develop and utilize its powers are apparent. On the other hand, the suitableness of the earth and its potencies to the de- velopment of man (on his physical side) is 3 ust as apparent. Perfect correspon- 3 dance bet\.veen the Gal-created than] and the “Otiwmtted environment is perfect life. Private property in land ‘ â€"the basis of physical lifeâ€"renders such correspondence impossible on the part of the landless, and is clearly a violation of the law, that is, the purpose of the Creator. The fundamental principle that no man has a right to private property in land and that alli men have an equal moral right to the i use of land is supported andfiemonu strated by the truth of economics, of l sociology, of morality, and of theology. l The failure to View a land question from all of these four sides has led to confusion and error in all of these sciences.

A man-made law which enables one class of men to perpetually and systematic- Pressure on the space at the disposal of The Globe prevented an extended report of the debate appearing at the time, but a summary of the arguments presented on the subject are now printed. Mr. Craig, a believer in the doctrine of single tax, presented his case first. Following is an outline of, his argumentâ€"I wish, he said, to] confine my remarks to one p0int,mainly, the relation which men sustain to the land. Negatively, this relation may be stated thus: No man has a moral right to claim private property in land. Positively, every man has an equal moral right with every other man to the use of land. I will endeavor to prove this to be the only tenable position on the land quest-ion. The seriousness of this problem arises from the fact that those who own the land of the many and igive i Rev. S. S. Craig and Rev. Prof. Clark. At the recent mee;ing of the tax reform com ention an interesting debate took place between Rev. Prof. Claxk of Trinity College and Rev. S. 5. Craig, Presbyteiian pastor of Oak- ville, on “The moral aspect of the land question.” SINGLE TAX DDIUMN. THE TWO SIDES PRESENTED. perfi take the it to the UVJ~IO l This single tax scheme was very much ithe same as the nationalization of the land. This was denied by the single taxers; but every argument employed in its defence was equally applicable to the other theory. It would not at least be denied that it would immensely reduce the value of the land; so that the land- owners would be greatly burdened. while the millionaires, who derived their wealth from manufactures and merchandise, would be exempted from the payment of taxes, which they could affoxd quite as; well as the landowners. And so it would THE VALUE OF CULTIVATION. But it was said that land might be. taken from its owners because they had no right to possess it. Did this mean that they had [in right to make it valuable? It would be of no value without their labor. Had they no right to labor uuon it to give it worth? Professor Goldwin Smith had truly remarked that an arce of heath or of uncultivated land was of no more value than an acre of the sea; and a great deal of the land of this Provmce had cost its cultivator-s and owners as much in labor and money as it was worth -â€"as it would fetch, if it were now sold. But the previous speaker had said a good deal about the divine ordering of the world, and that God had appointed mankind universally to subdue and possess the world. But supposing a ,number of the members of the human ‘ family should refuse to do their share of the work of subduing the earth, were they then to share equally with the men who subdued it ? If not, what became of the proposition that every mar. had an equal moral right with every other maul to the use of land? But. if on the contrary, it was said that those who had been standing idle might equally enter in and take possession. this would be intro- ducing; peculiar ideas of justice with human affairs. Suppose, for example, a thousand men should land upon an unoc cupied island and subdue it and cultivate it and make it fruitful, should we say that ten thousand squatters, who had done nothing towards the reclaiming of the land, might settle upon it and claim equal rights with those who had done the work?- Such a conclusion would hardly commend itself to the common consolence of man- kind. The second principle asserted was the following: That every man has an equal moral right with every other man to the use of land. This astonishing statement was repeated in a variety of forms, but there was not a tittle of proof given of its validity. Scripture was quoted, but it was perfectly well-known that property in land was recognized both in the Old Testament and in the New. The case of Annanias and Sapphira made. that most clear. Taking 1113 main propositions, he began with the firstâ€"~that no man has a moral right to claim private property in land. Here was a very equivocal statement. What was meant by private property in land? In the full sense of those words no such thing existed. The State had never allowed anyone to possess land except under conditions. All landowners, so-called, were tenants of the Crown. and were heavily taxed for the purposes of Governmentâ€"some taxes falling upon them directly and many more indirectly. How far this should be extended was simply a question of expediency. I Professor Clark replying to Mr. Craig, said that the previous speaker had com- plained of not being aware of the line which he would take. The fact was that he had no line in particular. He accepted ‘ the present order of things as one which, although not prefectly satisfactory. yet With: capable of being amended, and ought not to be I'ei'uluticnized. and he was bound to say that so far, he had heard no good argument for the sweeping changes proposed by the advocates of the single? tax. He was himself under the disadvan- ‘ tage of not having known the precise line which the previous speaker would take, but he would do his best to follow him. (3) The Almiahty claimed that He Himself was the only and the absolute 01mm of the land. Lev. XXV. , ‘23. But- it will be tep lied th 1: this is gcinn back to Judaism 11ith which we lime nothingr to do. Judaism is :1 much abused scape- goat. burely the 8111 commandment is still in force. If the 11101211 la“ favors pri1ate pioperty in land it favors theft. The teaching of lesus Christ confirms that of the Old Testament on the land question. (2) The Lord commanded that the land should not be sold for ever. Man literal- ly rendered it would be, the land shall not be sold in fee-simple. Lev. xxv.. 23. (1) When a 'man thruugh need was ubiived to sell his 1i0ht,what he actu: 111v saold was not his right in the land, but his right to the use of the land, till the year of jubilee. Lev. X\V. ,-1416. It is.quite evident from a. study of Lev. xxv chapter, that the Lord never gave people individually or collectively any right of property in the land.

There are no more intelligent and sub 1 missive slaves in the World thanl Englishmen. But, of course, they are not sufficiently intelligent to own land, l or to be otherwise than servants, and, even if they do not get exact justice here, the Lord will abundantly com- ‘pensate them in the future life. So ‘say the landlords, and current theology applauds the wisdom of the utterance. THE SCRI PTURAL ARGUM EN T. (l) The rights of the individual in the use of the land were carefully guarded. Nun). xxvxi.. 1-7. PROF. CLARK‘s REPLY. The city papers report that a. large number of the visitors to the Fair were duped in the “fake” anction rooms. The city authorities have often enough discussed the propriety of permitting [these concerns to do business and {know well the character of the average itinerant vendor of jewelry. It is a burning shame that, irresponsible peo- pie should be given an opportunity of selling trashy stuff to Visitors whoi would doubtless have made their pur- chases from reliable firms had not these temptations of “bargains” been thrust in their way. It is a. poor ad- vertisement for Toronto to send visi- a. living on their own account instead of being driven to compete with their fellows in the great. cities. The rush would again turn the other way. viz., from city to country, and instead of having mammoth factories and tene~ ment houses we would have far more smaller factories and people living in homes of their own_” “The low taxes paid now on the un- used enables land speculators to hang on to it for high prices, but under the single tax the taXcs on unimproved 'land, especially in or near the great cities would be far higher; consequent- ly the speculators would be eager to get rid of their land and would sell it a great deal cheaper. It would then be much easier for people to have homes of their own. If the full rent value of land, irrespective of improve- ments, were taken by taxation, as the single tax would do if fully applied, then the selling value of land would dissappear everywhere or be trifling, and people could then far easier make “And this rent is so high that it takes a very considerable part of their earnings. Not that there is not lend enough for people to build their own home on, but- it is largely in the hands of land speculators who want; to reap a harvest from the increase of its value. The high taxes on their unimproved land as settle the land speculator’s business, for then they would have to pay just as high taxes on their nnim- proved land as other people pay for similarly located land with its improve- ments. ‘ lhere must be a. reason f01 this fact- and the question arises: \\ hy should the was ses of the people wi: 0 uttni their daily bread as workingmen 21nd! worknwwonien h - worse 0” m the gre 1t ' cities than in the Countr) and smallei towns?

Hermann Hitter, of East \Vuyno street, Lima, Ohio, writes as follows to The News: “You say with reference to the rush from country to city that, the advantages of city life have no enstence in fact. I b would be well for many who have to earn their living by their labor to bear the wholesome truth contained in; your statement better in mlnd, for it is ensily observ- able that lite in the country or smaller 1 towns otfersa great deal better existâ€" } ence to workingmcn than in the great lI cities. 1 The Jewelry Auction Fakirs His own interest in this question v: ‘ twofold. He felt that men were he deluded by false hopes; and, when they falseness was discovered. they Would he plunged into greater hopelessness than ever; and, moreover, they were thus led to neglect measures which might be taken successfully for the relief of the poor and the suffering. He would give one example. It was simply shameful that no legal provxsion should he made for the housing of the Sle, the infirm and the aged. A peor old woman, unable to maintain herself. appealed for help to the magistrate and prayed that she might not be sent to prison; but there was no other place for her. A young man seized with a pulmonary disease, having no relations to take him in, died in prison.

I And what reason had they to suppose that. such a scheme, even if carried out, would so greatly benefit: the poorer classes . of the people 2 It was one of the wildest dreams that we could remove poverty and distress from mankind by any economic measures. Doubtless changes might be made which would improve the conditions of living. Such changes had been made and were being made. But no sweeping changes were likely to be beneficial. Revolutions had never done much good, and for a long time had generally brought great, misery to peoples. It was by industry and temperance that poverty and suffering were to be removed. come to pass that if two men, by their industry, saved a sum of money. and one invested the savings in land and the other in machinery and the like, nearly the whole burden of government would be imposed upon the former and very little upon the latter. Such a state of things might commend itself to single taxers; but to ordinary men it would‘ seem unfair, unjust, robbery. j THE RUSH TO BIG CITIES Beehives should be ke tin a dr- and where the tempcg'ature v?r’1lla1‘):ei5 even.

The British government is testinga new plan for signalling at sea. It con- ‘sists merely of an ordinary gong fasten- ed to the bow of the ship below the waterline. This acts as a transmitter, and the receivers are gong‘s of exactly similar tone and rate of vibration, one on each side of the ship below the water line. The receiving gong will take up and reproduce the sound of the sendino' gong trom a long distance. Signals af- ready have been clearly transmitted ten miles. “V _..v vx'lll nun l' ‘9 1 ‘ era sung.
