The Late Henry George. Overwork bas killed Henry George in bis fifty. eighth year. The world cau ill afford to lose him, for although in many rcsprcts mistaken, bo was a power in tbe United States on tbe side of bonest government and souud legislation. Some have held him to be a SocialistHe was the reverse. Those who bavo read his works — as opposed to those who talk about tbetu without having first read them— will know that nearly all bis views were opposrd to Socialism. He advocated State effort and the nationalisation of agencies where com petition was impossible as iv land for instance -but generally his was to sweep away all artificial restrictions of the production aud distribution of wpaltli. Hence be was a Freetrader, and to him is practically due the birth and development of a Freetmdo ecbool in tbo United States sii.ee ISSO His most noted book- aud, iv B[>ito of many errors, bis best one — was " Progress and Poverty," firnt published in 1879, but since then distributed the world over iv every civilised lauguagr. In the early eighties " Progress and Poverty" was popular in New Zealand Its liiliueuce affected our statute book, aud Mr Rulleston's perpetual lca?>e system was an adaptation of George's system. It was reserved for tho Seddou party and specially Mr Jobu McKcnzie — to pooh-pooh Henry Grorgo's ideas as worthless, and hence that ignorant politician's " nine hundred aud ninetyDine years' lease." Henry Geor?e taught that tbo unearned increment accruing from land by reason of tbe growth of population ought to belong tc tbe people. Mr Kolleston embodied that idea in bis legislation when be providcH for periodical revaluations of properties leased from the State. Mr McKenzic destroyed all that, with tbe couaent of a large section of the people, who thu« showed that they were not propared to put justice before party. For Rome time, I bavo suffered with rheumatism and tried every imiiainable remedy, without effect. Mr F. G. S, Wells advised me to try Chamberlain'f Pain Balm, telling me that it had cured many cases of long standing like mine I havo used four bottles and feel sure that one more bottle will mako my cure complete. — A.

S. Collins, of Moore, S.C , " I bad a child about two years old, that bad tbe diarrhoea for two months. I tried all tbe best known remedies, but none gave tbe least relief. When, this remedy came to band, I gave it as directed, and in two days tbe child was completely cured." Sold by Farmers' Co-op. Association, Feilding.
