Ii Means Cheaper Houses
The home of every mechanic in
the land costs far more than il ought
to, owing to the taxes on the mater
ials used in its construction, levied
for the sole benefit of the forest
owners of Michigan and Maine and
the mine owners of the Western
and Middle States. The Mills bill
puts lumber, brick, and building
stone on the free list, and reduces
the tax on iron, copper, lead, zinc,
paint, slate, tools, and other articles
used i'll building.
Ii Means Less Rent 10 Pay.
The less the cost of building, the
more houses will be built and in the
market.

gets his material cheaper, can thus

S1LUTING A FLAG.

The announcement from Havana that the
Haytian flag was saluted by Admiral Luces
feet is a singular one. Why should recog-
nized method Of international reparation have
been employed by the aifronted nation? Ii
the American flag had been honored with a
Haytian salute there would have been no
ground for criticism, for the seizure of the
steamer was an outrage offered to the dignity
Of the United States. 1t seems hardly credible
that Admiral Luce should have reversed the
natural order and after receiving the con-
demned vessel have ordered the firing OF the
guns as a compliment to petty Power which
had inSulted the American Government.
Saluting the flag of a Power which has re-
ceiyed an affront is a form Of reparaton TO
which all nations have recourse. When the
United States man-of-war Wachusett captured
the Confederate cruiser Florida in the port OF
Bahia in October 1864, it invaded Brazilian
waters. Secretary Seward promptly disavowed
the act,< dismissed the American Consul adj
vising the attack, announced court martial pro-
ceedngs against the captain, and offered 10
salute the Emperor's flag. In 1866 United
States man-of-war was sent to Bahia, where
the outrage occurred and the Brazilian flag
was the case of NJ. Dillon, the French Consul
at San Francisco, whose attendance at GRIM
inal trial as "a witness was forced by order OF
The local courts. When the attachment was
served upon him he hauled down his Consular
Gag. The French Minister at Washington
taking up the case contended that international
law had been violated and his Government
treated with gross disrespect. A long contro-
yersy ensued, but Secretary Marcy finally
agreed that the French flag should be saluted
in San Francisco by the American authorities.
In the Virginius case similar method OF
reparation was demanded from Spain, but was
finally waived when irregularities respecting
the vessels American register were disclosed.
In these and other cases which might be men
toned the aifronted nation received the honofs
Of the salute. What could Admiral Luce have
been thinking Of when he reversed the prece-
| dents at Hayd
| Moreover, why were twenty-one guns fired
| That is the salute which President Cleveland
would receive if he were TO visit Admiral Luce
fleet but it is not one which is ordinarily fired
in honor Of foreign Governments. The usual
| practice is TO have as many guns as there are
