N.B.—Mr Hogg and other Single Tax enthusiasts [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, (he shrinkage would have to be met by increasing the Northern railages, etc. '. | i Their theory is'one tax on the land I only and free^trade. When this was given birth to, the Asiatic problem was unhatched. What encouragement would there be to go on the land unless the products of the soil are protected, on the same lines as our rivals ? How would our town industries thrive 'under such stupidity ? Could they compete against the sweated surplusages of the world, u?iless amply protected ? And even now it is with a struggle they exist. It is obvious the Single Tax theory is only one tax on the land, and if given effect to would abolish the Alien Poll Tax, and bring us down to the Asiatic level.
