N.B.—Mr. Hogg and other Single Tax enthusiasts do not-suggest the removal of the dirties on tho raw ma- ,- torials (wheat, oats, etc.). It is obvious they are "running with the hare and hunting with the hounds," their object being to kill tho grain-growing a.nd milling industries, with their numerous adjuncts, such as southern railways, etc., and naturally the shrinkage would have to be met by increasing the northern railages, etc. Their theory is one tax on the land only and free trade. When this was given birth to the Asiatic problem was unmatched. What eiioouragenient would there be to go on the land unless the products of the sail' are protected on the seme lines as our rivals ? How would our town industries , thrive under tnch stupidity? Could they compete •gainst the sweated surplusages of the world, unless amply protected? And •yen now it is with a struggle they exiet. It is obvious tho single taX theory ie only one tax on the land, and if given effect to would abolish the Alien Poll T»x and bring us down to the Asiatio level. —Yours truly, ' CHAMPION'S COMMON-SENSE.
