SMCLE TAX COK m M8MNU IT

Grand Rapids, Feb. 20,1894. EDITOR L a o o a a : — P u r s u a n t t o my

recent promise to furnish information

as to tbe probable effect of the adop-

tion of the Single Tax upon mine

owners, I respectfully snbmit tbe fol-

lowing for tbe consideration of your readers.

That there are abuaes b a n g prac-

ticed, whereby the people, for the

gratification of whose wants tboae

minea were designed, are practically

deprived of their aataral rights is at-

tested by the fact that the owners ex-

act large royalties f b r t b e privilege of

using tbam A caas la point is tbe

Colby iron mine la the Upper Penin-

sula. The G)lbya leased it to a com-

pany at a royalty of forty cents per

ton for all o n taken oat. This com-

pany leased to another at fifty-two

sad ane half eiata per too, who in

tarn tsaaed i t a t a royalty of e igh ty

mvea and oae half cents per too.

The eost «f asiaing aad pladag oa

cam w w twelve aad one half 0 0 *

per ion. Ia tbiassss 100 par cent • added to the coat of mining aa com-

pensation to tbe man who had nothing whatever to do with the making of

the minea and who, theagb he bad

actually aiade them wonld be unable

to real b e so maoh as a fimbing if he

a s re the 4inly person in Creation. I

W b a * t o • a l e a M r i h d m - *

the tact that there are mtlliona of

fsople Kving on tkia globe who wiah

to mS the ore in those minea that en-

ables tbe ewnem t o , e x a c t such an

enormous tribute. Aa the popu-lation increasea the demand I for tbe

Oiealeo increases and tbe amtmnt

which tbe owner ia permitted to o»l-

Isst i a royalties also increases. What

is the law of royalties or reot? for

lyyaHiesaBd rent in its economic

9am (that is, the amount which tbe oSmer of land is able to exact for the use of bare land exclusive of improve-ments) are one and the same thing. In this conncction let us speak of it aa the Law of Bent. In order to aatie-fectority answer this question it ia de-sirable U) begin at the opening of tbe first mine. Tis probably a fact that tbe coloidste who first settled in tbia cuuntry bought tbeir metalic articles from Kagland, until the population had increased in this country to such aa extent aa to warrant tbe * manufac-ture of metallic things in this country. Whan that was attained 'tis probable that an iron mine was discovered, and that thenceforth began the buai-nem of auning the ore and shaping it into tbiags useful. I t is a fact that in spile of the competitioii of England and wkhoat any o<the''beneficent effects" of a protective tariff, tbe manufacture <»f agricultural implements was astab-Kshedatan early date. Well the mine waa epaaed. I t may have been that teveta l wars iNacovered at the mme time. The one however which waa first uaad, Sras the one which was tbe aMat advaatagemw to operate to the kaowledae of the miner. There might have bean other miaea which warn amlsr W mine than this p a r ticalar oae; others that posaessad advantages aa to location, avoesu-bUity, atCn hot the first one naed waa the moat predaptiee, taking eveir-tbing into consideration that the miner knew ol for in- that day the amring landa were to be bad on ' prac-tically the aasse terms aa ag r i eaMNl ' ~ or for Ulustratiaa, uiy Ihsy

towhoeverwiahadtoWhs

he took tbe best to bs had to h is knowledge. Suppose tha t particular mine with a csrtsin aaMNWt of labor axpeaded ia it weald prodooe what weahallcal l 4. As n a g aa there were other equally productive mineo to be bad free t b n mlae had no rental value whatever. Ba t popalation in-creases and sooa a R o f the heat mince I a , those that wiii produce 4 a re owned by somebody. Itoaons wish-ing to engage fat auning now find that they moat resort to. a poorer grade of miBC% that is^ to minea tha t will produce what we will call 3. When this ia reached, the minea which with a certain aamaat of labor wilt produce 4 have a rental value of 1 over tbe mine which irith the same amount of labor will prod ace bu t 8 . And so it continues. When all of the mines in the c l an which will prodace> 8 are taken, those who with to engage in mining must resort to atill Ime productive minea, thoac tha t with t h e same labor which was expended upon tbe best and ne i t beat minea, wilt nroduoe but 2. Now the best mineer h ive a rental value of 2 and t b e seooad best has a rental value of 1, while tbe mine which producfa 2 is frss. Soon tbe least productive mine to be had free will yield but 1. Then the first baa a rental value of 3, the aecond 2, and the third 1. This shown then that when tbe mines possess a high rental value tbe production of < info baa been forced to the least productive mines in existence. And such is tbe case. I know of no mining landa which ean be had free, nor at a nomi-nal aam cither.

We see then that forcing the pro-daction ofiron ore to the lepst pro-dactha mines, is to iatreasr the rental value of the most productive miaea. The awners of t h e mines also recog-nise this aa is attested by the lae t thtft folly one half of the mines are owned but aot naed, aad whether USMI or noL they possess the ssme rentat vs las . To ha son which are not beiag oaai receive' royaltj; hot aa thoae aiaaB are-gaw-erally owned bv tboae who' also own tbe minea which are being the holding of ths one oat of ables them to l imitfcaprednct icni thus force np the SStoe.

Th« Single T a a i s a tax upon t b e value of land as if adcetod firiln, m*ans the t ak i a f l a tsxatSoa of full rental Vhlne sf % | S mines. T h e moat productive miacf have a rental value of 3, t h e nes t S, aad the nea t k I have a ta ts i that fally oae .balf of the miasa « « h e l d uaaSaA., W h a t would he th* result ef tbe ad^tptioo o'f the Stogie Tax on thass mines, is other words taking the tbll rental value?

Woold not thoss who now owa the unused minea he compelled to ore them in onler to p i q r the tax?

Would this not Stop the prodortiun ofiron on the least pfodocfive mines? Under the pi i s t i t the minas are in ah.>nt the ftllsW^ eoodition aa regarda their ass :

Thus we see that the Single Tax would insure the atihsstion of tbe two-beat quali t in of mines, would reduce royalties from 8 to 2 and would thus cheapen the ore prodaced, and the reyalty woold go into the public P" 1*- R C . W.

Praise of Hood's "O. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, H a u . :

" Qentlevent — I feel t h a t I eannot wr t ta words which will speak highly enough of Hood ' s Sarsaparllla. I can tell my friends what It did 'or roe a good deal better than I can wrltf I t But I will simply state that Iteured me of a very •erere cose of catarrh after the physicians tailed to help me. t t also cured my husband of rheumatism o( serious nature a year ago. Four bottles ot Hood's Sarsaparllla effected

A P e r f e c t C u r e In his ease. I think Hood's Barsaparllla Is tba best sprltiR medicine that ean b« found. We have used It In our family flre years, nnd would not do without It. 1 am very thankful to you

Hood's5^ Cures tor tbe blessing this medicine has been to us.

"Almost as Palatable as Milk" This is a fact with regard to Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. The difference between the oil, in its plain state, is very apparent. In

Scott's Emulsion you detect no fish-oil taste. As it is a help to diges-tion there is KO after effczt except good effect. Keep in mind that Scott's Emulsion is the best promoter of flesh and strength known to science.
