N.H.—Mr. Hogg and other Single Tax ■enthusiasts do noh suggest the removal of tho duties on the raw materials (wheat, oats, etc.). It is obvious ihey are- "running with the hare and hunting with, the hounds/ their abject being to '.ill the grain-growing (uid milling iiidu.st.vies, with thi'ir numerous adjuncts, such a<; southern railways, •etc., ard uittut.ilij' tho shriukage weald have to be met hy increasing tho Jiartliuii railages, etc. Tliu'r theory is one- tax on tie land only and fn.'o trade. When this was given birth to tho Asiatic problem was unha.tcrw.'d. What encouragement would iliero be to go on tho land unless tho products of the soil ny- protected on the tamo lines as our ri\u.i<-? How would our town industries thrive under such stupidity? Could they compete against tho sweated surplusages of the *vorld, unless amply protected? And even now it is with a struggle the> exist. It is obvious the single tax theory is only one tax on the land, and if given effect Lo would abolish the Alien Poll Tax and bring us down to t.ho Asiatic level. —Yours truly, CHAMPfON'S COMMON-SENSE-JUST OUT! latest "Worker" Enterprise.
