1-47 A soft, mild, south-sea air per vades Boston to-day, and crowds, who have furnished a week's faithful labor for the home and family are enjoying well-earned rest, and nature delights, upon this perfect May-day. The open cars are crowded, and it must be a heart devoid of philanthro py which would not find increased delight in the enjoy ment of. others. It shows the good side of human nature when the spectacle of the many thou sands of our brothers, who work deligently through long days, is brought to view. In thinking of mankind and of modern ideas, I must mention a quotation from the Sunday Herald of May 5, from Mr.

Grant Allen, who is said to have attacked the people, who labor for equal rights, in the most audacious manner. This knightly color-bearer on the field of conceit says, "The males are the race, the females are merely the sex, told off to recruit and produce it. All that is distinctively human is man. The males have built up human civilization, while the females are mere transmitters of these male acquisitions." I will give any price which my means will allow for an album of instantaneous photographs, of a man who relegates half of creation to so dark a doom. If "arrogance is ignorance," as a more convincing moralist declares, there is hope for woman yet, despite the most anti-psychologic, anti-historical, undemonstrable assertion of this age of civilization! Some older books are more valuable than we meet with in the catalogues of to-day.

A small volume, published more than ten years ago, by the house of "Hurd Houghton" is still a hand-book for the student, the poet and the artist. It was written by the late lamented Professor J. C. Shairp, who was principal of three united colleges over the ocean. The title with the name of the writer, suggests the value of the book, which is called The Poetic In-terpretetion of The contents were given in lectures to large audiences as a kind of literary supplement to scientific courses.

The psychological and poetical lectures trace the relation between man's sensitive soul and nature. The poets are teachers who make us see the wonders around us. Although poetry has two great subjects, man and nature, yet something beyond both, comes from this unison, and blends the true, the beautiful and the good in a vision of inspiration.

Advt. step in advance, when repudiating the right of one persons to another persons labor, and now with the foot upraised pausing uncertain whether to take the next and final step and repudiate the idea of "property in land." Mr. Buckham seems fairly to have seen the force of the main proposition advocated by Henry George to whom he makes very flattering allusions, but is timid lest he startle some ot his agricultural hearers by advocating so radical a theory. It is to be regretted that a more definite outline of the idea and its operaiion had not been presented. The space of a newspaper article is not quite equal to the task of amplifying the subject.

Allow me now, however, briefly to note some of the most vital points. 1st. The amount of ready money re quired to purchase a right of soil so extensive as a common farm in Vermont seriously handicaps the farmer at the outset, before he can think of establishing his business. 2d. If the farmer were once relieved of the disability imposed by this ab sorption of capital in purchasing right of soil, he would be proportionably bet ter able to meet the high rate of wages now paid for farm labor.

3d. Easy access to the soil would, by attracting laborers from the more thickly settled districts, enhance the advantages of social life in all sparsely inhabited portions of the country. 4th. The exodus of laborers from the cities will furnish the unemployed yet left there better opportunities to make wages. oth.

More families domiciled in the rural districts, composed of such as are glad to escape from crowded settle ments, will secure and multiply the ideal home President Buckham so just ly approves and admires. This outlawry of "property in land," an ideal proposition based on the the ory heretofore hinted, may, it is be lieved, in a short period of time, be made practical by the operation of what is termed the "single tax," im posing taxes only on land at a valuation, excluding improvements. By this process the long felt evil of ine quality in taxation may be remedied. A tax imposed on a building lot of a dozen square rods in a city, valued for renting purposes at as many thousand dollars as a farm in the country of as many acres square, would certainly effectually equalize the tax as between the two sections. No one could by any artifice evade the vigilance of the assessor, secreting his property, or changing his place of residence.

We should incidentally and most effectually thus encourage all private enterprise whether in the shape of improvements or in buildings and live stock or manufacturing by removing the fines now imposed in shape of a direct tax upon every such form of industrial enterprise. They would also be thus enabled better to meet the price of la bor by just so much as government re duced these expenses. Money so long locked up in untaxa- able government securities and now liberated would find safe and ready demand in all the ayenue3 of trade and commerce, while these facilities would so stimulate all business as to secure a good rate of interest. None can doubt but when land is made to bear alone the burdens of taxation and industries and accumulations are free all investments will more and more tend towards manufactures and improvements and less and less to wards taxable property. Communities and nations will most certainly thus be relieved from the trouble and danger our cousins repre sented by the British parliament are now endeavoring to obviate by violent and reactionary legislation, the like of which, as is generally admitted, we shall ourselves eventually be obliged to resort to if we fail to apprehend the advantage of the opportunity now offered us, to effect incidentally and by voluntary action and individual inter est what would otherwise require rcvo-lutionary force to accomplish.

The manly and fearless attitude and declaration of so many of our leading public men, members of congress, approving over their own names of Mr. Gladstone's position in the par liament of England shows how public sentiment is likely to be effected by the agitation of this subject. Peter E. Pease Burlington, May 2, 1889. Security of life and property is the primary end and aim of goyernment.

Liberty, justice and morality may in cidentally also be regarded as among the interests dearest to the heart of the philanthropist which human government may not ignore. If we scan the growth of popular sentiment and the history of civilization, the idea of liberty and morality is found affected more or less by the question, What constitutes property What is or ought to be legally constituted "property" has too often been regarded as arbitrary or conventional and governments have assumed to act as authority in the case. A wife or child, captives taken in war, slaves, as society rebelled against them, as a sort of compromise, the negro, if his ancestors had been stolen, was made property. Many of us can recall the utterapce of an eminent statesman and patriot of our own generation against his personal conviction of right, that "two hundred years of legislation had sanctified and sanctioned African slavery and property in man." So strongly was this inhuman claim then intrenched in the respect of many law-abiding communities in the civilized world that only the red hand of bloody war was powerful enough to overthrow it among our own people. As the result of this overthrow the ideal truism of our Declaration of Independence that "all men are born with an inalienable right," a right which neither they nor any other power can ever convey away to another, "to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" became a practical reality, a settled fact within the reach of the United States government.

Statesmen and philanthropists alike joined in grateful recognition of the benificent change. It became true of this country then as it was of England two hundred years ago when the poet Cowper sang, "Slaves cannot breathe in England They touch our country and their shackles fall." The experience of the mother country had heartened us in these ends of the earth for the great revolution which by a baptism of blood established the right of every son and daughter of Adam to their own persons and the fruits of their own labor. Thus property in labor was outlawed Is it not a little startling that among the foremost friends of liberty in the world Mr. Gladstone, that strong and incorruptible English statesman, is today standing as an exponent of the principle that no man can be rightfully restrained in the pursuit of liberty even though to advance that pursuit government should be forced to offer to repudiate its solemn guarantee of property in the soil He would have pampered landlords to see they have no rights their fellow- men are bound to respect to that use of the soil they have so long doled out to the race at the cost of untold toil and treasure. Right here then the issue must be taken.

Is there any sort of natural or logical right or necessity which invests a human being with priv ilege of access to and use of a portion of the soil Certainly none will cavill at a conclusion that if any persons are born with an inalienable right of access to and use of the soil, all are so born The fountain head of legal erudition, Blackstone, speaking of property in land, says, "Pleased as men are with the possession of land, we seem afraid to looK back to the means by which it was acquired as if fearful of a defect in the title. We think it is enough that it is de rived by the grant of the former pro prietor, by descent from an ancestor or by the last will and testament of the dying owner. Not caring to reflect that, accurately and strictly speaking, Ciere is no foun dation in nature or in nature's law why a set of words on parchment should convey dominion of land, why the son should have the right to exclude his fellow-creatures from a determinate spot on the ground because his father had done so before him, or why the occupier of a particular field when lying upon his death bed and no longer able to maintain possession should be enabled to tell the rest of the world which of them should eojoy it after him."
