NO TAX UPON COMMERCE BETWEEN
STATES

Following promptly after the decision Of Judge
Strong in the Delaware case, that Of Judge Dob
bin, at Baltimore on Friday, re-ailirms the legal
merce between States arc unconstitutional. 1t
does not matter, indeed, whether such taxes are
laid directly, or whether they affect commercial
intercourse in the most distant manner. In the
Maryland case, that State in 1882, required the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company to pay
tax amounting to one-fifth Of the gross receipts
passengers OH its Washington branch. After
paying it for long time, the Company declined
to SO any further, about two years ago and con-
sequently the State brought suit.
Now the tax was not so much per head Gu each
passenger carried as in the Delaware law, but
only an exaction of Il share of the gross amount
received from passenger travel. The State said
to the Company "Pay lis over part of your
earnings But Judge Dobbn ruled that this
was an actual tax upon the traveller himself. He
said that
"Inasmuch as the money paid BY the passen
ger to the company is paid over and above that
which lie pays for everything else which is sup
piled him, and inaamuch as it is sum which
The is obliged to pay, preceding his right to
travel it is necessarily paid for the privilege Of
travel. He docs not pay it for his Transports
ton because that ispaid by another part of his
zone dollar and half
This is clear, reasonable view. Judge pobbin
has made law OF what is common sense. Consid-
ering that he is himself SIarylander his decision
against the State indicates how strong the view
taken presented itself to his mind.

When, by favorable legislation of Congress,
iron ships can be built in America, at very nearly |
English prices, the greatest work will have been |
done for the growth of Wilmington, that our city |
has ever known. Do our citizens realize this
Do they comprehend the vital Importance OF aid |
ing, in every legitimate manner, the adoption of
such measures by Congress Is the representa-
tive in that body of our large ship-building inte
rests exerting all his influence in this behalf ?
We pray our readers towake up on this subject.
Consider the situation for moment We have
great demands made upon us for sea-going
steamers. These steamers will each cost from
1900, 900, to $500, 900. This money will be almost
entirely expended in our city. great part of it
will be paid to theskilled workmen who live here,
and form large portion of our population. Can
anything, then, be of more vital Importance than
TO so affect the conditions under which we work,
as to make it commercially practicable to build
these ocean steamers in Wilmington
The Clyde, the Tyne, and the Mersey rivers in
Great Britain are crowded with immense IRON
ship-yards Their steamers every year are
numbered by the hundred, and the prices re-
ceiyed for them mount into scores OF millions of
dollars Now the Delaware is as well situated
for the work as those rivers are. The materials
are near our broad waters, and can be gathered
here to good advantage. Give us a little en-
couragement. and we shall soon be as busy as the
Clyde. We shall have, here, in ten years from
this time, ship-yards employing ten thousand
workmen, and giving direct and indirect support,
through this one industry, to serenty-fre thousand
people j,
The world demands new ships. every day.
Shp-owners are anxious to have them made III
American yards, by American hands,so that they
may go out under our own good flag. Last year,
when this question was being considered at
Washington, orr Wilmington builders we're called
on, again and again, for estimates and proposals
for vessels, to be built when the new law should
be passed. The actvit in their yards would have

and an activity even greater will he produced, il
it is agreed upon by Congress, ut this session.
We call on our people, then, to use their best
efforts to aid this good work. There should be
every proper pressure brought upon Congress
and our Senators and Representatives should be
hard at work in this behalf. When it is possible
to SO immensely benefit our city, and the State
they should omit no effort to secure this legisla
