The single tax people of Philsidelphiti | and the Jhcord of that city discussed Henry George's theory of taxation from ! different standpoints iast week, and the outcome of the debate is not very credit able to the lit cord, though the latter made use of the strongest arguments possible from the position it holds upon the ques tion. The Philadelphia Single Tax So ciety isolTei inga reward of .>juo"forasys tem of taxati MI that would raise revenue sufficient tor the support of government without putting a line on conscience, thrift or industry, the taxation of laud values excepted." This offer brought from the Il< cord on the 17tl t lie following : it is safe to say—unless Protectionists can prove their favorite theory that customs taxes > are paid by foreigners who soil goods to us— I that this reward will never I• paid. It would j not have made the least dillcrciiec if the ta.v on I land values had not been exc epted. An matter derived, it is a loud laid 011 the buck of thrift | and industry, Such burdens adjust themselves ; in the operations •t finance, us water finds its I i level when a part of the volume has been with- | drawn or when more water lias been added. j ( This comment immediately brought three questions from a single taxcr, and j ' the It*cord answered them. The qucs- : tioiis and answers were : ; i d Will you kindly inform your readers why a tax upon lund values is "a load laid upon the back of thrift and industry ?" (2) Are such values produced by the industry ' of the owner, or are they the result of the : growth of the community V I ( (JJ) If they are not produced by thrift and industry how can your claim bo true V .OO reward offered by this I society "lor 11 system oi taxation that would] raise revenue sullieieiit tor the support of the (iuverniiieiit, without putting a fine oil con- | science, thrift, or industry . tin* taxation ol hum | values excepted," yon say, "it would not have j made the least diileret.ee ii the tax on laud , values bad not been excepted." Von claim ' that such a tax is also "a load laid on thrift ami ; industry," and you also imply that it can lie shiltyd by the landlord.

I The bill introduced by Representative | Jeffrey, relating to tlie liability of em j ployers, and which was recently publish , ed complete by the TRIBUNE, brings j forth the following comment from the ! Philadelphia Record: The Courts in Pennsylvania, under the statutes as they now stand, have largely relieved employers of liability for the acts of employes acting in a representa tive capacity for their principals. Very j often it happens tlnit unlit men, or men j of intern prate habits, are employed in I rapacities of care or supervision inopera i tioiiK of great hazard to life. If the em- | ployer should be made amenable in i j damages for the negligent acts of such j i persons intrusted with important respon- ; nihilities it would he a grater safeguard ; I than any other that could he devised, f Probably the aw ful disaster in the Mum i moth mine, by which in? lives were lost, ; was the result of negligence or incom-1 petciiey. If the owners of the mine could now be held to account for this dis-! aster the lesson would he worth more ! than any amount of State inspection. ] .Mr. Jeffrey's act is too sweeping, and w ill j need paring down and careful revision. ! I But it points in the right direction, and it j should be accorded careful consideration. ! Working People Looking Forward. We. see in these times a marvelous 1 roiidi n'ng of the Held of inquiry in which the working people of the cities and towns are prosecuting their re searches. Look at the themes that art taken up for debate in the unions, as semblies and societies; look tit the ques I tions that are brought up for action in I tHo State and national conventions ol I labor delegates; look sit the principle that are proclaimed by the editors o labor newspapers. The working people of the United States, or very many ot them, are evidently filled with new a?- pirutions. They are emboldened t< think for themselves. They desire n enjoy the advantages of our modern civ ilization to secure the benefits of scienn and invention; to profit by the work of j modem niaehienery, and to obtain the j full product of their own labor for theii j own enjoyment. If the organized laboi j sages (ff our cities and fields do no' ] control the legislation of the country it is not because of then* lack of the power b \ do so. If they do not remove any or al 1 ! of the evils of which they complain tin ! fault is their own.— John Sir in ton. Training for LI fox's Battle. Mr. Carrol I). Wright, United State- Commissioner of Labor, contributes at article to the New York Tribune 011 tin •I in nee to earn a living. Mr. Wright es timates that in tliis country they vver in June last 22,0110,000 persons, of al I iges and conditions, engaged in gainfu occupations; and that there are 40,0(8 persons added each year to the numbci engaged in all occupations, for which vacant places there will next year In I .100,000 candidates—men, women am | i children. If these conclusions be correct it neces -arilv follows that those persons win desire to compete successfully for tin vacant places should he thoroughh equipped mentally and physically. Tin necessity for this equipment become? more apparent every day. Even if Mi. Wright should he mistaken in his as sumption that the time has already conn when the number of business opportuni ties is smaller than the number of per sons desirous of obtaining employment, it must be admitted that thecompetitioi of the present time is a compotiiion of skill with skill, or of skill ngains' the lack of it. Increase of industrie? has increased the wants of the people luxuries have become necessities, an each great invention, has carried with ii an increased number of occupations, many of which were not before known j But this increase in production has als 1 made it necessary that there should 1> i more than muscle and strength brought j into play, and that even the farm ham must have information of a higher gradi j than that merely necessary to enable bin , to swing the scythe or to handle a hoe. j In every department of industry men and women should have not only tech j nieal equipment, but bring to their em I ployment character and assiduity. The young men and women who an I about to compete ror the vacant places iu the business of the country could not Ido better than to follow Alr. Wright's sug j gestiou to "take up something—smithy. . jewelry, printing, eleetrotyping, rail reading, engineering, teaching, stenog graphy—w hatever taste leads to, and put 1 n ir whole heart into learning the nr. •f their work; develop their iudividua i powers; insist upon making themselves* muxters of their tiade or profession, ii I order to become master-workmen it weatever calling is chosen; and then tin real satisfaction and the intense enjoy ment of a serious and active life will de ; velop to a wonderful degree and provt that the best citi/ nshipis found in thosi who are the best, and most remunera tively and most enjoyahly employed."
