Chattanooga Times.
We haye the following from
Gen. Warner, Of Tecumseh furnace
and addressed to the editor of the
Chattanooga Times:
"Apropos of your just criticisms
of Senator Pugh, he said during
my examination at Birmingham
last week, that iron could be made
in Alabama, under present condl-
tlons, and with present prices OF
labor, as cheaply as any place on
EARTH

that our prices for labor were double
English prices for coma and
more than double for skillsk labor
and yeksreirrsted sSsis ssen7snt
that iron could be made in Albania
notwithstanding this difference of
cost Of labor, as cheaply as any
where on eartir.'
This, in the face Of all the testi-
money-Evans, Sloss and myself
that our labor was ninety to ninety
five per cent. of total cost of IRON
of Evans testimony that it cost S14
to make, of Sloss' testimony Sl1.74,
and of mine Of S14 to SO, and the
cost of SIS for hot blast charcoal,
and S1S to $40 for w. B. charcoal,
and $40 to S22 for C. B. charcoal.
Truly, he and Morgan are the
boss iron makers of this country.
L told Pugh that his committee
could do us the greatest service by
bringing Morgan to tell US how to
make $3.50 iron.
'Pugh says in one breath that he
will give us in Alabama all the

need any protection, as we can

Wholesale;
At the instance Of some OF the
dealers in liquors, l asked the hon
orable Comptroller of the state
whether the privilege tax due fol-
1882, as we'll as for 1888, was
due from all dealers, or only from
the manufacturers.
| also asked if wholesale dealers
were liza a6le to the tax imposed on
retail dealers if they sold to con-
sumers, or persons not in the trade;
and if tiplers sold in wholesale
quantities to dealers or others,
would they be liable for the whole
sale tax in addition to the tipler'
liceuse.
The comptroller answered me on
all these questions as follows.

DEAR SIR: In reply to yours OF
18th inst, will state that wnoleN

consumers are liable for a tipplers
license in addition to their whole
sale license-provided they sell un-
der five gallons.
Tipplers selling in quantities OF
oyer five gallons are liable to the
additional tax as is imposed on
wholesale dealers.
The object Of the Courts in ma
king this distinction is to protect
each particular dealer in the busl>
ness for which he procures Incense.
The distinction is made IN the
quantity they sell.
Very respectfully,
P. p. PICKARD.

That the matter may be fully

must pay the privilege tax imposed
on wholesale dealers, and this al,
though the whisky is made out OF
products of the farm in this state.
In case Of Tarver VS.. State, also
decided a few days since, it was
held that within four miles OF an
in ,orporated institution of learning
manufacturers may sell by whole
sale upon paying privilege tax; but
cannot sell by retail at all.
By wholesale IS meant sale to
dealers to be sold again-by retail
is meant sale to parties for con-
