Death of Henry George. “Dead upon the field of honor ” is the epitaph that might well be written over the grave of Henry George, strick- en down in the midst of a fight for honest government in one of the great- est centres of civilization in the world. His death was a fitting close to a career in which the best energies and faculties of the man had been honestly devoted to the cause of. the people. As to the particular economic theory with which his name is identified we may differ, but we can all agree that a loss has been sustained not only by the United States but by humanity in the ceasing of the earthly activity of that mighty heart and intellect. “Progress and Povcrqy,’ George’s best known work, is dedicated “ To those who, seeing the vice and misery that spring from the unequal distribu- tion of wealth and privilege, feel the possibility of a higher social state, and would Strive for its attainment.” The introductory chapter, “ The Problem,” fairly glows with the love of justice and humanity that is the motive force of George’s intellectual work. The present century, he says, has been marked by a prodigious increase in ural to expect that labor-saving inven- tions would lighten the toil and improve the condition of the laborer; that the enormgus increase in the power of pro- ducing wealth would make poverty a thing of the past. Then follows a pas- sage of striking beauty and power, picturing the improved material condi- tions which ought to have flowed from these industrial changes, and concluding with these words: “And out of these bounteous material conditions he would have seen arising, as natural sequences, moral conditions realizing the golden age of which mankind have always dreamed: youth no longer stunted and starved, ago no longer harried by avar. ice; the child at play with the tiger, material progress the deeper the pov. erty, the sharper the struggle for exi t~ euce. In a new community there is no luxury, but there is no destituticu ; but. with closer settlement and increased wealth the shadow of poverty darkens. “ The tramp comes with the locomotive, and nlmshouscs and prisons are as sure- ly the marks of material progress as are costly dwellings, rich warehouses and magnificent churches. Upon streets lighted with gas and patrolled by uni- formed policemen beggars wait for the passer-by, and in the shadow of college and library and muscum are gathering’the more hideous Hans and fierccr Vandals of whom Macaulay prophesied.” It will readily be understood that the moral earnestness and rhetorical glow of the introductory chapter, so widely different from the cold and dry lan- guage of the orthodox political econo- mists, attracted readers in tens of then- sands, who eagerly read the rest of the work. and rose from its perusal con- vinced of the soundness of George‘s theory that the evils he depicts spring.r from private ownership in land, and that the remedy lies in the State ro- suming the beneficial enjoyment of the land by appropriating the rent in the form ol'a “ single tax." Into the mer- its of this theory, involving as it does the whole range of political economy, it would be useless to enter here. We are concerned with the man and with his influence on the public mind. We lie-- lieve that he possessed the temperament. of the moral crusader, combined with great intellectual power, and with the faculty of expressing his ideas in a peculiarly clear and attractive way. He became the founder of a school, and it is a peculiar fact that his disciples not only became imbued with his earnestness, ,but caught some of his power of expression, so that where you meet 3 Henry George man you usually meet a clever and eager con troversialist. It should be borne in mind that George was a thorough-going free trader, a position necessarily involved in the conviction that taxes should be levied solely upon land values, and that he was also a thorough-going individualist, a believer in the utmost freedom of ac- tion, and to the rights of every man to the reward of his own labor, .to what- ever he could fairly create with his own brains and hands. That he is some- times» classed with Socialists, whose views are diametrically opposed to his own, may be explained by the fact that there are points where the two theories appear to meat. The Socialists and [leery George would agree that thcau- thracite mines of the United States ought to be the properry of the State, but George’s reason would be that the mines are necessarily and by nature a monopoly, and that the ideas of individ- ual action and competition are excluded there by the very nature of the case. At this moment it will be interesting for us to recall George’s views as to the problem of life and eternity. “What, then,” he asks at the close of his great work. “is the meaning of lifeâ€"of life absolutely and inevitably bounded by death? To me it only seems intelli- gible as the avenue and vestibule to an- other life, and its facts seem only ex- plainable upon a theory which cannot be expressed but in myth and symbol, and which, everywhere and at all times, the myths and symbols in which ru-‘u have tried to portray their deepest perâ€" ceptions do in some form express. Lo! here, now, in our civilized society. . the old allegories still have a meaning, l the old myths are still true.
