Let England but reverse this policy. Let her exempt improvements and other forms of labor products from taxation and place the burden of taxation where it naturally belongson land valuesand her dukes. marquises. and earls will no longer find it profitable to breed rabbits and foxes. The land will then be cultivated. and farm laborers will not need to immigrate here or to Canada to look for employment. It is land monopoly. made possible because land is not taxed according to its value. that drives the farm laborer from the country of his birth. while gamekeepers are employed to drive his fellow off of "my lords" land. Our policy of selling the public lands and then placing the burden of taxation upon the settlers improvements. while the land speculator almost entirely escapes. is producing in America the same evils.
