THE SINGLE TAX AND THE FARMER 131 This extravagant conclusion is set forth in the hope that it may prove a magnet that shall draw present attention away from agricultural ground rent, which may almost be ignored, and fix it upon the fifty-five millions of ground rent in Boston, which the people pay yearly for the use of its land; upon the one hundred and fifty or two hundred millions of ground rent in Greater New York; upon the two or three thousand millions of ground rent in the United States; and upon the billions of franchise values which in recent years have sprung up all around us like gourds in the night. Confronted, as we are to-day, by such acute con ditions, we ask you to pardon whatever may seem like impatience with a theory that has dealt so laboriously with the cuticle instead of with the heart of production. We seek a proper understanding and economic treat ment of this vast river of ground rent, which, like a great Mississippi, drains every field of industry, labour and capital, wages and interest, in the whole country around. Our earnest contention is that to such wise treatment we must look for the correction of most that is now wrong in the distribution of wealth. Out of this vast current of ground rent we would provide for all public need.
