HENRY GEORGE. VISIT TO AUSTRALIA.

By the Zealandia, letters from Mr Henry George were received by Messrs E. VV. Foxall and J. Farrell, of Sydney, in which the writer states that having so arranged matters in connection with the work on which he is specially engaged in the United States as to permit of his absence for a period of about four months, ho will be prepared, if necessary, to leave ior Australia on January 21. Mr George has so much upon his hands that he wishes to make his stay in Australia as ehoit as possible, and hopes to be able to speak in all the principal centres of the Australian colonies upon the doctrines of the single tax within the space of about t.vo months. The time seems rather short, says the "Telegraph," and JVlr Geoige, fresh from a tour through the United Kingdom, where journeys, between city and city are short and rapid, forgets or is unaware that this is the land of magnificent distances. He doe 3 not, perhaps, reckon upon tho time that will be swallowed upin tra\ el, and may think it possible to lecture each night in a diflerent centre, as in England. However that may be, it is improbable that he will leave Australia without having been heard in every considerable town. The movement with which he is associated is making great stiides in the United States, and gathering into its ranks many of the ablest men and most influential newspapers Iheie. As soon as Mr Ueoige lias completed a new work upon political economy on which he is engaged and disposed of the Australian trip, he proposes touting England again, and then devoting his whole time to the great campaign now being organised throughout the States to secure the overthrow of protection at the next elections which is looked forward to with tho utmost confidence by his party. Active preparations are being made by the Executive council of the Single Tax League for the approaching \isit. It has been decided to hold a seiies of publio meetings in Sydney and elsewhere for the purpose of propaganda and enrolment of members.
