N.B.— Mr. ITogg and other Single Tax enthusiasts do not suggest the removal of the duties on tho raw materials (.wheat, oats, etc.). It is obvi- ,i ous they are "rr.oning with the hare i and hunting with the hounds," their object being to kill tho grain-growing an.l .milling industries, with their numerous adjuncts, such as southern r-aii-wti.'.s, etc., and naturally tho shrinkage would have to be met by increasing the northern railages,, etc. Their theory is one tax on tho land only and free trade. When this was: given birth to the Asiatic problem was Tialiaicht'd. What encouragement would there be to go on tho land unless tho pioducts of the soil ara protected on tho same lines as our rivals? How Wtiuid our lonn industries thrive under stub stupidity? Could they compote against the sweated surplusages of the world, unless amply protected? And even now it is with a struggle lliov exist. It is obvious the single tax theory in only one tax on. the land, and if given "(feet to would abolish the Alien Poll Tax and bring us down to tho Asiatic level.—Yours truly, CHAMPION'S COMMOM-SENSE.
