To Own Land and to Use Landare by no means the same Thing. Do you seethe Dog in the Cut ? Well, he Owns the Hay,to make Gain out of it. And the Ox wantsto Use the Hay. Now, just as Hay was Meanto be Used by Oxen and not to be Held byDogs, so Land was made to be Used by Menand not Held by Drones.

Yet the Landhe owns is but a Small Lot. Now, does it Lookas though to own Land was the sure Way toget Rich ? Ah, I see your Point. It is not theLand that Tells the Tale, but the Worth of theLand—its Worth in Rent each Year. The TownLot which the Rich Man owns is Small, but itsRent each year is Ten Times that of the BigFarm. It is the Rent that we would Tax, notthe Space, and this Town Man would pay TenTimes more than the Faim Man.
