The Match Tax.

The most impudent thing which has
been heard for some time is the protest
of some of the rich and powerful match
manufacturers against the proposed re-
moval of the one cent per box stamp tax
on matches
Mr.. VIM. H. Swift, ,sOf the firm of Swift,
Courtney & Beecher, match manufacture
ers. of Wilmington, Del, in an argument
before the sub committee of the House
committee of ways and means. urged that
the match manufacturers of the country,
without exception, arc in favor of retain
ing the stamp. The business has grown
up during the past sixteen years and be-
come adjusted to the existence Of this tax
which enters SO largely into the cost of the
finished article1 that to remove it now
would be like compelling them to go out
Of business and start on al entire new
basis that the tax takes no more from the
people than goes into the public treasury :;
that it is not felt as a burden, and it's re-
peal is not the subject of popular demand,
while if removed, it would practically de-
stroy the match manufacturing industry in
this country.
In reply to this it can be said that as
the tax :is specific, invariable sum,
there ought to be no difficulty whatever
in adjusting the business to its instant
removal. The manufacturers are enti
tied to no profit on the stamps, and their
removal ought to just reduce the price
of matches by one cent per box. The
true inwardness of the objection is that
the business Of making matches is a
monopoly, controlled by single COM
bination, which has large capital
to buy a big stock of stamps and
crowd out all smaller concerns. The
stamp tax on All article OF such univer-
sal use as matches is one of the most
odious kind, and, like that on cigars,
being specific, is in favor of the higher
priced article and to the advantage of
the larger and richer manufacturers.
Their protest against its removal should
only stimulate the popular demand for
it.

= Mos: appropriate Measure.

i':,I,imoru sun.
i bill was introduced in the House of
Representatives, Monday, by Mr.. Randall
Of Pennsylvania, which enacts that wheD-
ever any building is to be erected by the
tui:cd States for public use in any state
it shall be constructed OF materials found
IL the same state, provided that such MI
tcrlals be suitable therefor, and can be Sc
cured ut prices not exceeding the prices
of equally suitable materials found else
where. Sucli bill ought to commend
itself to the representatives Of all the
states. 1t would seem to be manitestly
,lnwisc to send to another state for the
materials whcrcwith to construct u gov
crrmeut building when materials equally
us good and equally as cheap
are to be had III the state where the
building is to be erected. That such has
been the case in some instances, even if it
were not commonly known, would be cvi-
dent from the fact Of the introduction of
the bill in question. 1t cannot be said to
be one to benefit any particular locality, it
applies equally to Ill tic states. 1t SIM
ply proposes to give them, by an express
law, what one would suppose would be
conceded without any law at all because
Of its sclfevident propriety. We trust,
therefore, that our Maryland delegation
will join with others in giving it prompt
and energetic support.

on the blood stained field Of
Antietam-almost at the close

how he fought there. We found
him at Kernstown fighting one

grimly giving way to fight again.
We saw him strike the Federal
armies right and left in the val
ley and fill Washington with
white faces. We found him at
Fredericksburg on Lees right;
at Charlottesville in Hooker's
rear; at Manassas behind Pope,
on his fame, in his front. We
have found him at Gaines Mill.
Fate waited for him before
striking a last blow. 1t was the
hammer in his grasp which
shattered the Federal position.
