Some startling figures to the sweat
ing system in Chicago are furnished
by Miss Nellie Mason Auten, who re
cently made a study of the condition
of the workers in the garment trades
of that city. In her investigations
among the Italians there she found
only 12 workers who, were able to earn
more than $300 a year. One hundred
and nineteen were earning less than
$100 a year. Forty-three were receiving
actually less than one dollar a week!
The writer cites two extreme cases to
show the depth of poverty and degra
dation to which some of these workers
are reduced. In one case, a housewife
button-sewer working sixty hours each
week at forty cents per week (a rate
of two-thirds of a cent an hour!) in
fifty-two cents per week of the year
earned $21. A housewife pants-finisher
working sixty-six hours each week at
thirty cents per week (a rate of five
elevenths of a cent an hour) in forty-
eight weeks earned $11.
Of the five nationalities that make
up the bulk of the Chicago garment-
workers, the Italians are In the most
deplorable condition. Next In ascend
ing gradation come the Poles, Jews,
Bohemians and Swedish. Seme of the
Swedes earn fairly good wages, being
better educated and organized than the
other nationalities. Most of the sweat
shops are situated in the back part of
tenements, shops, or stables, and in
time of epidemic the danger to th
public health from the manufacture of
garments in such places Is a very real
one. Says the writer:
"There are so many shops that It Is
impossible to inspect them all at any
such time to find whether garments
are made where disease exlsU.
Through Ignorance or indifference on
the part of the workers, clothing per
meated with disease germs may be
sent out Except in such a time or
special danger, however. It Is the work
ers who deserve our solicitude rather
than the wearers. According to the
statement of one of the trustees of the
United Hebrew Charities, one person
out of every twenty-five has consump
tion. This is the great bane, she says,
of the garment workers. It causes
almost more trouble than the low
wages. The injury to one's eyes from
the close and constant application to
work has already been mentioned In
connection with the tailors. It Is th?y

likely to work far into the night and
cause their eyesight to fail.
'Long hours at a foot-power ma

my way about it, no woman should
ever work like that' Even if none of
these more serious troubles come, the

takes the life and spirit out of one.

chief reason why the employment of

problem."

WHY RENTS ARE HICH.
'The housing of the poor" is an is
sue In Great Britain. The disease an
the cure are clearly Indicated In a
way that will appear in a more force
ful if not a new way to American read
ers. A writer in the Glasgow Weekly
Record shows up Joseph Chamberlai
in a new light as a practical liberal.
He says:
At the root of this question is th
evil of over-crowding. So long
space for building purposes Is held out
of the market by the reputed owner,
the landlord, till he obtains his own
fabulous price for it, this deplorable
evil of over-crowding, which is a dls
tlnct growth of modern times, and con
sequently of modern civilization, will
become more and more pronounced as
years go on. I have in previous ar
ticles described the brutalizing and im
moral effects which result from faml

functions of the body in ordinary de
cencr. If these evils are to be abol
Ished some method will have to be
found for supplying better and larger
houses to the poor without Increasing
rents.
Unskilled workers, the majority of
whom in Glasgow do not earn more
than 1 per week, and a large number
earn considerably less, can hardly be
expected to pay higher rents out of
such a small wage and at the same
time feed and clothe their families.

the Central Liberal Association, whose

contend that "If we are to have more

we must mske It essler for the builder

way to do tMs is to reform oar anti

PROGRESS OP HENRY GEORGE'S
IDEA.
If Henry George could only have
lived to see the time when the great
state of Colorado was seriously con
templating the adoption of a tax on
land values he would probably have
been willing, as was the just and de
vout Simeon, to depart in peace.
A remarkable change in public sen
timent has taken place since the un
known California printer put forth
his book, "Progress and Poverty,
more than twenty years ago. At that
time he was regarded as a dangerous '
man by all conservative people who
did not look on him simply as an idle
dreamer. His opinions were misrepre
sented and his book was violently at
tacked by many persons who had not
taken the trouble to read it It was
popularly supposed that he advocated
dividing up the land among all the
people. On this supposition a man of
straw was set up again and again to
be bowled over contemptuously by
scores of magazine writers.
Gradually It became known that Mr.
George's plan was not so theoretical
and revolutionary after all. It was
found to be simply a question of tax
ation. He did not favor a division of
the land. He only urged that the value
of unimproved land arising from the
presence of society should be taken to
pay the necessary expenses of the com
munity. He was so far from being a
socialist that he believed it was un-
ust to deprive a man of any of the
product of his labor. The present
system of taxation, he pointed out,
really penalized the enterprising maa
whose work produced wealth for tha
community. His plan was to exempt
all the product of labor from taxation
and to make the "unearned incre
ment" of land values bear the whole
burden.
At the time of his death, four years
ago, Mr. ueoge s aocmno naa raaue
little visible progress In the Lnlted
States. He had won many converts,
but they had been unable to accom
plish anything practical. Of late tha
propaganda has received a powerful
Impetus from the admitted failure of
the nersonal property tax. It has be
come more and more apparent that
some change In the taxation system
Is Inevitable. The franchise tax has
come as the first break from the old
plan. Its theory la directly in line
with the views ot Henry George. Now
Colorado has investigated the work
ings of the land tax In Australasia,
and is contemplating Introducing the
system. If it does so and the experi
ment proves satisfactory, other states
will be tempted to follow its example.

TOLSTOI, CRONJE, ACUINALDO.
Count Tolstoi has been banished
from Russia on account of his utter
ances and published works. Some of
his utterances are certainly not in
line with Russian Ideas of government,
but it is difficult for people who have
been raised In American atmosphere to
comprehend what the ruling powers
hope to gain by the banishment of
one whose life work has been for the
betterment of the Russian people, and
who never advocated barm to any one.
Embittered by banishment and freed
from all restraint In a foreign land, as
powerful a personality as his Is likely
to shake the foundations of the Rus
sian throne. Omaha Bee.
The Bee should remember the In
junction, "Let him who is without sin
amongst you cast the first stone." It
does not look well for men to denounce
the same tnltg in Russia which they
justify In the Philippines and South
Africa.
Why is it any worse for Russia to
banish Tolstoi than for MacArthur to
banish an American editor for telling
the truth or a Filipino patriot for
fighting for his country? Why Is It
woree for Russia to banish Tolstoi
than It Is for England to banish thou
sands of the bravest aad the best
nun of South Africa to St Helena?
The empire ot Russia Is only follow
lng In the footsteps of the two other
imperial governments, and It Is In
very bad taste for the pots to call the
kettle black.
The Bee should abandon the Imperl
alists before It denounces the ancient
customs of imperialism. Nonconform

New Tork. All the men were labor
ers and will at once enter Into com

tats country. They were admitted

protects the American laborer.
J. S. Fowler, originator of th) Ander
son "slavery" system, says the plan
itself was not at fault, but it has
been abused. He had no idea, he says,
that it was illegal. It grew out of the
application to him by negroes in Jail
to pay their fines or take them out on
bond. To secure himself he made them
sign an lronbound contract, and put
them to work with convicts be hired
from the state. He began this system
five years ago. The officers of the law
sheriff, clerk and magistrates were
necessarily aware of his methods and
never suggested irregularity. For a
debt of $50 be would work a negro for
a year, feeding and clothing him.
But, according to Mr. Fowler, others
who adopted this manner ot getting
labor abused it Negroes got from Jail
were charged for clothing, board, etc.,
and fined for Infractions of rules till
they were placed perpetually In the j
debt of the landlord. Then others who
bad committed no crime, but bad
charges trumped np against them, were
frightened into a "compromise" by
signing a contract, and they were simi
larly held captive. Whenever a negro
owed s debt be was taken to a stock
ade to work It out on the landlord's
terms. The license of lawlessness con
tinued until when It was considered
safe to do so negroes were seized by
force and taken to the private prisons.
Last year a prosperous tenant on one
small farm bought guano from Fowler
on credit His erop failed and he could
not pay. Regardless of the fact that
the law does not permit imprisonment
for debt, this negro, his wife and nine
chiidren, most of theni of working age,
were carried to the stockage and set
to work. At the same time the man's
two horses, wagon and buggy were
seized for the debt. These persons
were made to sign contracts, and as
these contracts permit them to be
transferred from one landlord to an
other, there are instances where the
contract for the husband and father
has been made over to one fanner,
while the wife and children were held
and worked by another. The system
of arrest for debt had so spread and
was in abused that house servants-
butlers and cooks in the town of An
rf.rcnn were carried off from their
work to the stockades before the mis
tress of the house was informed.
As originally begun, the plan ot
working the negroes had mutual ad
vantages. It was irregular and illegal
to take a prisoner out of jail and give
bond for his appearance at court, and
work him until court met Still, If
paid for his services, tbcro was a cer
tain advantage to him. But it touow-
ed that to hold the prisoner he must
be guarded by men with guns by day
and locked up at night That was
still ereater Infraction of the law, and
the exercise of that power had its se
auence in cruel whippings. Once be
yond the law, there was no limit to me
license, and the farmers extecaea ine
vtem to men not tauen irom jau
but who could be persuaded or ingnv
mwii,a tntn BiE-nlnz contracts; then to
those who bad fallen into debt, and
fianally to any who could be sareiy
cantured by force. Tbe continuation
of the license which permitted guards
and stockades resulted in the use oi

that he shall pay in proportion to his

Is called to this theory of legislation.
Every civilization that has heretofore
gone down in the night of history has
done so on account of tbe greed of or
ganized wealth. The rich men begin
by crushing out tbe middle class, by
ruining the small dealers, by convert
ing the small farms Into great planta
tions and then reducing the working
man to virtual slavery. One of the
beneficial results of the French revolu
tion was l v lug the soil bark, into the
hands of peasant proprietors. Henry
George proposed to do this peacefully

TAXATION AND DEMOCRACY,
Rev. Lyman Abbott, of the Ne
York Outlook, and formerly pastor of
tthe Plymouth (Henry Ward Beech
er's) church, has been lecturing before
the Brooklyn Institute on Democracy,
In one of tbe courses he said that the
single tax plan could be put into op
eration with less Injury to individuals
thsn has come from the readjustment
of Industry; that every man has a
natural right to the products of his
own labor, because he has a right to
himself, "but there are other and
larger possessions which are not the
product of human industry, out
"made by tbe Creator and stored In
the world, not for the few, but for
all;" therefore any right any Individ
ual may have to these resources la
'due to a social arrangement;" that
no man claims a right to ownership In
air or ocean, and what is true of these
is especially equally true of the land,
as men did not make any of these.
When the history of land ownership
Is traced back to Its origin, it is proved
that society recognizes It only as an
artificial right, as illustrated In the
division of land between Abraham and
Lot, and when a civilized peopla
landed on this continent, whereon
half a million Indians occupied land
able to give subsistence to halt a bil
lion. "A dog may not keep an ox
out of the manger when he cannot
keep the hay himself." The expression
"single tax" Is "Infelicitous" for that
which Is In fact "a plan for tbe aboli
tion of all taxation," based on the
proposition that "the air, water, land
and the products of the land, coal, oil
and the Juices of the earth, God cre
ated and gave to humanity; they be
long to tbe human race."
Coming from such an eminent and
somewhat conservative authority, such
remarks indicate a powerful drift of
thought towards tbe single tax among
prominent thinkers.
THE NEW ZEALAND SYSTEM.
Frank O. Carpenter, a special corre
spondent, was sent to ew sceaiana w
investigate tbe land system of that
country. The idea was to write down
the single tax or the theories of Hen
ry George as there applied. He weni
prejudiced against the whole system,
and with a determination to write It
down, but when he came to investigate
it he found that in its workipgs it is
gradually making New Zealand a land
of small farms. By the present laws
no man who has more than 640 acres
of land can obtain any of the public
lands. The land officials will not grant
more thsn this amount, and they win
not give an applicant more than they
think he can develop and care for. The
government land agents examine all
the simllcants, and those wno pass
their exemtnstlons are allowed to bal
int far the amount distributed. The
e-overnment In fact divides the land
more as a father among his children
thsn as a land speculator. Everything
Is done to encourage small farmers.
The msn whose income Is less thsn
$1,600 a yesr goes scot free, psying no
taxes. He whose farm la worth $2,005
likewise escapes, and if his estate Is
worth $7,500 he psys tsxes on only
$5,000 of Its valuation. The rich msn
pays Increased taxes on his Isnd, on
his Income on everything. For In
stance a man with $5,000 Income would
pay 2 per cent on $5,000 less $1,500,
or $87 Income tax. u ne nas an in
come of $10,000 he would have to pay
Ave per cent on the extra $5,000 jot
$287. But a big trust magnate or a
railroad king with $1,000,000 would
have to pay $50,000 a year, while John
D. Rockefeller or Andrew Carnegie
would be obliged under the law to pay
half of their Income Into the state, or
anywhere from $l,fr$,0W Ic II 5.00$.-
LABOR, LANDLORDS AND IDIOTS
A Los Angeles paper says: "It will
tax the wisdom ot tbe American people
to devise policies that will (satisfactor
ily solve the problem of giving em
ployment to the whole population, and
at wages which will Insure the dignity
of labor."
It need not "lax the wisdom ot th
American people" very severely to
solve the labor problem. It they will
only go at It In the right way. It is
not the province of civil government to
give employment to the whole popu
latlon." It is, however, the function
and duty of government to allow the
whole population to employ them
selves. This they cannot do while nat
urai resources are monopolized. This
they can do when natural resources
have been made free to all.
That same paper speaks of "the sur
plus of labor which we seem to have."
There Is no actual surplus of labor In
this country; there never was and
probably never will be. It Is simply
a case of a surplus of landlords, and
also of Idiots, who, by their votes, year
after year, uphold a system of land
lordlsm that shuts off labor from
those natural resources to which
must apply itself in order to produce
such-things as everybody needs. This
is as clear as daylight to everybody
who carefully investigates the question
without prejudice.-Jtalph Hoyt.

and within a few weeks was able to
be up and about, completely cured.
His cure la the talk of the neighbor- .
