The Labor Problem: Plain Questions and Practical Answers,
edited by William E. Barns (NY: Harper &
Row, 1886, p.119), with an introduction by Richard Ely. Quote:
"I am convinced that no adequate
settlement of the propositions involved can be made short of
governmental co-operation. Arbitration and division of profits,
while systems and interests remain the same, are only present
makeshifts, involving perpetual conflict. It is not because men
are worse that those labor difficulties arise, but it is becuase
civilization has advanced and the rights of man are more clearly
discerned. There was a time when the hideousness of slavery was
scarcely discernible, but there came a time when its only cure
was civil equality, established by government. When debt, rents,
and corporation dividends are abolished, and the government
supplies the place of corporations, labor will then receive its
own; not, however, by permission, privilege or favor of any man,
but by a law of trade and distribution as impratial as the
sunshine. Prudence dictates no sudden revolution of society,
hence all remedies should be gradual. I favor, as the first
measure of governmental relief, the ultimate extinction of all
debt, then railway ownership and control, and so on to the end
of the chapter."

- 1889 - Excerpt from the interview in Cincinnati, Ohio, 7 October:
"The adoption of a single tax is, in my opinion, destined to be the next great step
in the order of social eviction. The times are ripe for it. What the world of industry and
commerce now wants is freer access to the sources of wealth-production. Discoveries and
inventions within the last 45 years have increased the average wealth-producing power of man
more than eleven-fold. This enormous displacement of labor has transformed laborers into
mighty armies of tramps and paupers. Someday these classes will rise together like human
tigers to destroy the civilization which, to them, has been so harsh. Against this tendency
toward socialism, the single tax is the only ratinal barrier which is being raised."

"...the movement to which Henry

movement, nor a property in land confiscation movement, but
amovement to restore to everybody his right of properly
safeguarded ownership in land, safeguarded to the extent that no
one's ownership of any land shall be equivalent to another man's
exclusion from the land, and the relegation of governments ...
to the very limited functions which they can perform without
endangering the common freedom."
