Add to the foregoing the fact that here in the North we have a Single Tax Society of earnest, able, brave men, advocating single tax, and the changing of the present absolute ownership into a perpetual right based on rent paid to the State; and in the South a National Liberal Association, comprising some of the present Ministers of the Crown, which clamours for the nationalisation of land, mines, railways, coastal service, and for other socialistic objects; and who then can wonder at the nervous feeling manifested? Confidence must first of all be restored before money will flow freely for investment in land, mining, manufactures, and commerce.
