N.B.— Mr Hogg and other Single Tax emthuiiaets do not suggest the removal of the duties on the raw materials (wheat, oats, etc). It is obvious they are "running with the hare and hunting with the hounds," their object being to kill the- graingrowing and milling industries with their numerous adjuncts, such as Southern railways, etc., and, naturally, the shrinkage would havo to bo met by Increasing the Northern railages, etc. Their theory ii one tax oi the land only and free trade. When this was given birth to, the Asiatic problem was unhatched. What encouragement w-" 'd there be to go on the land unless the products of the soil art protected, on the came lin^T as our rivals ? How would our town industries thrive under such stupidity ? Could they compete against the ■ weated surplusages of the world, unless amply protected ? And even low it Is with a struggle they e^ist. It i» obvious the Single Tax theory Is only one tax on the land, and if givcm effect to would abolish the Alien Poll Tax, and bring us down to the Asiatic level.
