Land Distinguished from Labour Products.

He had placed this long list before them simply to show that land was considered quite different from any of the products of man's labour. It stood apart by itself, and could not be treated as other things were. Who had ever heard of any legislation being suggested to limit a man to buying not more than 640 tons of one kind of produce, or 2000 tons of another kind? Why, no one ever dreamed of such a thing. Limitations in commerce or other things were not suggested, but only to commerce in land. This showed that land in the sight of all people—not of single-taxers only—stood entirely by itself.
