FREELAND, PENNA, JUNE 1. 1800. A Single Tax Martyr. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Young, good-looking, cultured, worth 850.000 or more, enjoying an annual in come of 810,000 or $12,000, the head of two prosperous business concerns and a member of the Art Club, George F. Stephens, of this city, languishes in a Dover, Del., jail from which he could walk forth a free man by simply paying the sum of 820 as a salve to the wounded dignity of Delaware law. It isn't because Mr. Stephens lias not the S2O that he does not pay it. It is be cause he believes by so doing he would acknowledge himself to he in the wrong when he believes 110 is right. The mat ter is one of principle and not pelf. Mr. Stephens was arrested at Dover Saturday afternoon. He was in that city preaching the single tax doctrine. His meeting was in the open air, on a street corner, and the crowd which col lected to hear him obstructed, in tin' opinion of a Dover policeman, the public highway adjacent thereto. A brief colloquy between the police man and Mr. Stephens resulted in the latter being inarched off to jail. A few hours later a magistrate, after refusing a jury trial, kindly gave Mr. Stephens the alternative of paying a fine of 810. with costs on the side, or of going to jail for twenty days. Mr. Stephens elo quently quoted from the constitution ol the United States granting each and every man the right of free speech and produced witnessess to prove that the highways had not boeinobstructed by him or his hearers to an extont which seri ously fractured the law. but to no avail. It was jail or pay and Mr. Stephens, true to his colors, elected to be locked The Single Tax Society, of Philadel phia. of which Mr. Stephens is tin- lead er. has, through its campaign committee, taken the matter up and will light the decree of the Dover magistrate with a vigor that will probably startle him. Several arrests of single tax advocates have been made in Delaware within the last four weeks. 11. V. lfetzel, who is the treasurer of the Single Tax Society of Philadelphia, and a companion named Tuttlo were placed behind the bars at Middlctown on a charge of disorderly conduct and obstructing the highways, while holding a meeting, and last Tues day Wrn. Iloran, of this city, was taken into custody on similar charges at Dover. Delaware was selected as a promising field by the single tax people about a year ago on account of the constitutional convention which is soon to be held in that state. They hope to prevail upon the Delawareans to put a single tax sec tion in the constitutional amendments then adopted. Since June 15, 1805. a vigorous single tax campaign has been held weekly. In this onslaught Mr. Stephens has taken a most conspicuous part. At the headquarters of campaign com mittee, this city, a reporter was told that the single tax leaders look upon the Delaware arrests as persecution pure and simple. "We do not obstruct the highways." declared Treasurer Iletzel, "nor do we act in a disorderly manner. The truth is we are making too much progress down there to suit some people and they arc trying to shut us oIT. We have ar ranged to retain Judge Umtnons, of Wil mington, to light our case and will endeavor to get Senator Gray also." Mr. Stephens is at the head of the firms of Stephens it Co. and Stephens, Cooper it Co., terra cotta manufacturers, of this city. He has been identified with the single tax movement for several years and devotes most of his time to making single tax speeches. A little less mystery about the silk mill business would have a tendency to establish confidence in the statements of those who say it is all right. The men who have subscribed $15,000 for the bonds that are to be issued are ready to pay over the cash, and it is not just to them that the intentions of the pro jectors should be kept so dark. It is no fault of Freeland if the mill fails to materialize. Should Morgan 15. Williams be nomi nated for congress by the Republicans of the twelfth district tin.'re will be a scramble for tin*. Democratic nomina tion. Mr. Williams is all right, in a way, but he would be entirely out of place in congress, and the voters could be. depended upon to inform him of that fact at the proper time. Freeland has two attorneys, both staunch Republicans, but it seems their Republicanism is not of the kind to com mend them to the Republican school board of Foster township, as the direc tors have concluded that it is necessary to go to Ilazleton to secure a solicitor. MAGNETS THAT LIFT TONS. Growing Use of Electro-Magnets and Electric Cranes. An liniiiouse Saving of Labor—No Slings Required lmperially Convenient In Handling Heavy Shot—Safe and Ef fective—Details of Construction. [COriRIUIIT, 15D6.1 By means of the electric crane and tlie electro-magnet which were intro duced into this country and recently exhibited before the American Society of Mechanical Engineers it is claimed that three men can now do in 15 min utes the same amount of work which formerly taxed the strength of six men for 90 minutes. It is found inval uable in working with pig iron, heavy castings and immense boiler plates. It is believed by engineering experts that these lifting magnets will soon re place the present forms of the derrick aiul traveling crane. Preparations are being made to introduce this device in t he great Carnegie works at Pittsburgh, and its practical workings are being very carefully watched by at least half a dozen large manufacturers through out the country. At first sight, it appears odd that a small coil of metal weighing about 45 pounds can, by that strange, force, known as magnetic influence, uided by the equally mysterious power of electricity, lift tons of iron with 110 apparent grip upon the weight to be lifted. It has been proved, hoAvever, that, such an elec tro-magnet can lift 722 times its own weight. In England the electric crane and electro-magnet are in use in a number \ IKE ELECTRIC CRANK AT WORK. of places—in particular, at the Wool wich arsenal and at the Snndycroft works. Those in use at the Woolwich arsenal were designed by an officer in the British army and greatly simplify tlie work of lifting and moving heavy shot and plates of iron and steel, Par ticularly is the electro-magnet of valuq in lifting heavy shot, as previous to their use workmen experienced no end of trouble in getting slings securely around the shot. It was a long and heavy task, and required the labor of many men. Now the electro-magnet is lowered by the magnetic crane und simply laid on the side of the shell to be raised; the turning of the small lever at the base of the crane switches on the current, and the work is done. Here the new np paratus enables three men to do the work which formerly required nine men. The construction of the crane and magnet is peculiar, and its inventors claim that there is less chance of a break than when the old-fashioned tackle was used. Indeed, so far as is known no accidents with the new method have thus far occurred. The electric crane looks very much like an ordinary swinging crane. It. is constructed f the l est steel, the frame being comparatively light, but of a strength far in excess of any strain which will ever be put upon it. From the base of an upright steel beam a long steel arm projects, first upwaird at an angle of 45 degrees; then, with a bend upward and outward, it extends for a distance nearly twice the length of the supporting beam. Two steel rods reaching from the top of the beam to the crane net as supports or holds. One is attached to the crane about a third of the way from the lmse and just at the bend, while the other is attached to the upper end of the crane. The wire through which t.he electric current is carried from the Imttery at the base of the crane to the magnet runs up along the upright beam and across the upper supjiort to the end of the crane, then over a small wheel to the end of the chain to wthicli is at tached the lifting magnet. Duplicate wires are used to prevent any possible accident in case the wire should foul with anything or in an3 r way be broken. The Rwitoh-board governing the cur rent is placed at the base. In lifting a weight of .'1,500 pounds a current of from three to four amperes at from 20 to 50 volts is used. The mag nets vary in size and weight from com paratively small ones weighing 45 pounds to those having a weight of 250 pounds, but tlie lifting power of the magnet ts not always In propovtion to its size. The body or core of the magnet used n lifting steel shells or circular pieces }f inotal is shaped like an inverted"U" md closely bound with wire, the wind ng being protected by brass flanges ind by a thick covering of brass. The two ends of the wire winding are led f .o duplicate terminals, where they are joined to the two wires from which they receive the current. Through the center of the magnet run two bars to which are attached the rings by which the magnet is attached to the hook at the end of the pulley of the lifting chain. There are. a number of different pat ents already out 011 electro-magnets and electric cranes. Some of the cranes are intended to be permanent fixtures in mills and iron works, while others, for lighter work, are known as mov able cranes, uud can be ustxl on flat ears or in yards. The movable cranes are balanced by a counter weight placed at the base of the upright beam, but the general idea is the same in all. The magnets differ more than the cranes, those in use in rolling mills and foundries being different in shape from those used iif arsenals and other places where the greater part of the material to bo lifted is spherical 01 cylindrical in form. For use in fac tories and. yards the magnets vary in size from 100 to 275 pounds. They are usually made with what are known as limbs, which are simply two projec tions from a steel cross bar. Such is the one in use at the Sandycroft works in England. In this magnet the linibr are wound with wire, and on the cross bar is a. switchboard for throwing th< current 011 and off. It is used in lif ting pieces of iron and steel varying in weight from 100 pounds to two tons fief ore the advent of t ho electro-magnet the packing* of such masses of metal was work of the hardest kind; but now two men can do in a quarter of an hour what it formerly took six men an hour, and a half to do. Attached to the cross lar, between the limbs of the magnets, is a book from which a. sling can be suspended for use in lifting nonmag netic substances. A Javanese Temple. The temple of Bocroboader is one of the largest of the ancient temples in Java. These temples consist of vast masses of sculptured stone, built on enormous mounds covering sometimes two or three acres of ground. They are built terrace upon terrace, with stone passages running round the entire structure, which is conical in shape. The walls of these passages are a mass nf extraordinary sculpture, whose sub ject is often of a very indecent charac ter. The stones themselves are of im mense size, and the whole is in a won lerful state of preservation. The age of these Mohammedan monuments is estimated at 1,200 years, ami their gi gantic construction is ascribed to the immigrants from India and Ceylon., Huge statues of stone, mostly headless, adorn the corners and pinnacles of the temples, to which there is no interior beyond a few small cells. —Westmin- ster Heview.

NATURAL TAXATION IN DELAWARE. The proposition to remit all taxes 011 buildings and improvements, goods, chattels, occupations, imports and other subjects and raise all necessary revenues exclusively on land values—in other words, the singlo tax doctrine has grown to such proportions in the past few months that it is fast taking on the appearance of a national movement. Only as recently iis June of last year the doctrine was practically a philosoph ical speculation. Today it is an open issue in many sections of the country and in Delawaro is the political plat- form of thousands of the people. W lien it is remembered that the entire voting population of Delaware scarcely reaches 40,000 and that, of these probably one half are either active members of tho various single tax leagues of tlio state or quiet sympathizers with and believers ill the principle, the full force of tho progress there made can be fairly real ized. It being known to the friends of tho cause that the constitution of Delaware permitted taxes to bo levied 011 such properties and in such proportion us tho legislature should from time to time de termine, the more activo among tliem proposed to make nil open light for tho adoption of tho new system in that state. The idea was caught up by their friends throughout tho country and lib eral contributions began to coiue in. At that time the enterprise was looked on with contempt and derision. Today the old parties are warily measuring its strength and recognize tho fact that a farrcaehing principle is involved in the contest. And what is tho real basis for all this enthusiasm? What is the reason for the new departure? Is it that its advocates shall gaiu some special advantage over their fellow citizens under the new or der? Is it a movement of bondholders or importers, money owners, manufactur ers or tradors in goods, for the purpose of shifting the burden off their own shoul ders on to the shoulders of others? The very simplicity and naturalness of the single tax doctrines ill these days of voluminous, perplexing and bewilder ing policies are tho features which re deem it from all suspicion of selfish ness and eushrino it in the affections of so many of its advocates. It is more than fiscal. It is a moral reform with a fiscal name. The single tax is so called because it proposes to abolish all other forms of taxation and to raise nl 1 public revenues by assessments upon one thing, and one only, and that is the value of land. It is not a tax upon laud, for that would bo laid, according to area, equally upon good and poor, but is a tax upon the value of land without regard to the urea or to the improvements upon it. The value of land is created wholly and absolutely by the community, and not by the owner or by any other person. Therefore, we say, "Let the communi ty take what the community creates and uso it for the community and leave to the individual what the individual produces for his individual enjoyment.'' Suppose two men laud on an island through which runs a ravino, Suppose that on one sido of the ravine the land will produeo 200—not 200 bushels of wheat per aero or 200 head of cattle oi ♦2OO, but 200 units of value per year. The land on the other side, equal in area, will produce, with tho same ap plication of labor, only 100 per year. Tho first place will have what singlo tax men call mi "unearned increment," a "rental value," of 100 per year, be cause thero ure two men on tho island, and both will want tho same picco, foi land never has any value until at least j two men want it. Which will get the [ better piece? Tho stronger man. And so it is that all laud titles the world over are based upon force, because every man ! wants the liest piece, and we have us ] yet not had the wit to devise and oper ate a "single tax" to remedy the evil. } These men go to work, and they agree that they will pay every year 10 per cent of their product into what they call tho public treasury to make roads, bridges and other common improve ments. At the end of the year the first man pays into the treasury 20 and re tains 180, and the other man pays in 10 and retains 00. And so it is, year after year. that the first man gets richer than tho other, although he works rro harder nor more intelligently—that is, the wealth of tho island is "inadequately | distributed." If the poorer man objects, ! tho other replies: "I pay more taxes than you. What have you to complain of? You are a disturber of the peace." I The poorer mun sees that his richer j neighbor does apparently pay more taxes, and so he submits patiently to an injustice because he cannot fathom it. But all the while tho rich man is be coming richer and the other man rela- j tively poorer, and it is beyond the ' power of either to correct the difficulty, if lie would, so long as the fundamental wrong exists. But now suppose that these two men ' when they landed, being just and de siring neither to take the advantage of the other, hud agreed between them selves that whoever took the better piece of land should pay into the public treas ury annually the rental value of 100 for common purposes and that the other man should pay 110 tax. At the end of the first year and of all subsequent years each would have 100 of private proper ty as the result of equal effort and 50 from the public treasury for common improvements and benefits. This is the single tax principle. The object of the Delaware campaign is to apply this principle to correct a fundamental wrong, so that the inalienable rights to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness" may not continue to bo violated. According to this principle, it will cost a man as much to hold valuable land out of use as if it were put to the best use. Will tho logical outcome of the new policy justify tho hopes that are based upon it? Certainly the idle lot or land owner will not be benefited. 011 the contrary, his occupation will be gone. It will not pay to hold his property un used, as at present, waiting for the boom that will never come again. It will not avail to raise the price, for the annual value made by the community will be justly taken for the use of t he communi ty. The application of the principle will compel the owner of unused lands to put them to a good uso or let others use them. Then will come the day looked for ward to by the single taxors, when in dustry need neither idle nor beg, when the man out of a job will be a curiosity and the one in want a rarity. Then "overproduction" and "underconsump tion" will not bo subjects for serious consideration, for, with a more equita ble distribution of the bounties of ua turo to her children, want and the fear of want would vanish. The helpless class, "out of work, able and willing," would no longer exist. If there will be fewer millionaires, for each millionaire less there will bo hundreds more eom fortablo and better citizens. There may not bo so many party managers and bosses with barrels and boodle, but there will bo fewer railroads fattcuiug on the people's birthright, fewer trusts, corpo rations and combinations feeding on tho land privileges accorded them by a cred ulous and impecunious people, and there will be no lords or barons or dukes of foreign governments to feiico out Amer icans from America, It is the undertaxing of land valnes and tlio overtaxing of tho works of man that have made man and his works cheap and land dear. Tho single tax proposes to simply reverse tlio policy and make Iranian lives and tho achievements of industry precious, as they should be, and the barren deserts of tho city und wastes of tho country worthless, us they are, until occupied and used. Viewing the farreaeliing effects of this movement in this sordid time, 0110 can but think that there is in tho single tax that precious talisman, tlio "touch of nature that makes tlio whole world kin."

From tiio best information obtainable during tho three years 1870, 1871 and 1872 there were an average of 1,000,000 men idle. And in speaking of tlio idle, cr un employed, I mean those who aro willing and able to work when there is an op portunity, but being unable to procure work are in a state of enforced idleness. This 1,000,000 men at $2 per day, boarding themselves, would have earn ed $2,000,000 a day, $000,000,000 a year, or in the three years $1,800,000,- 000. Take the next period from 1878 to 1870, inclusive—seven years. This period includes the panic year of 1878, yet I have averaged the seven years on tlio basis of 2,000,000 idle. At $2 a day there isn loss of $4,000,000 a day, $1,200,- 000,000 a year, or $8,400,000,000 in the seven years. The next period, from 1880 to 1800, in clusive, tlio times were better, and wo find that 1,000,000 is about an average of idlo or unemployed. One million of men at $2 a day equals $2,000,000 per day, $600,000,000 a year, or s(>, 000,000,000 for 11 years. Now, take tlio last four years, from 1801 to 1804, inclusive. Here we find tlio number of tho unemployed vastly in creased. Many estimate tho number at 4,000,000, but to bo within bound I have placed it at 8,000,000. From this wo find a loss of $0,000,000 a day, sl,- 800,000,000 a year, or $7,200,000,000 for the four years. To recapitulate tlio losses to society from this source alone wo find a grand total during these 24 years, from 1870 to 1894, inclusive, of $24,000,000,000. This is a loss to the world that makes gains for no one, but these poor people have bran compelled to endure it so that the wealthy, who control (ho volume of money, may exploit other millions from a more fortunate class. The statesmanship of a nation that will fasten a public policy producing such results cannot and ought not com mand the respect of mankind. Such a public policy is not only heart less and cruel to the last degree, but it is so unjust that it becomes robbery. The laboring class have but one thing to sell, and that is their power to labor. If they are robbed of this by a vicious financial system, they are made beggars, and the wholo people are made the poor er by the lack of what might have been produced. If any ono is in doubt as to the cause of this tremendous loss and waste, let him study the finance question. Our medium of exchange consists of $1,090,009,000 of money and $4,000,- 000,000 of bank credit. Change these proportions to $2,000,000,000 of money and $2,500,000,000 of bank credit, and yon will hear no more obtlic unemploy ed or of fiuancial panics. J. 13. FOLLETX.
