trade, which affects retail business con-

The boundary line between the
United States and Canada is not i'm
aginary," as most people suppose. The
fact is the line is distinctly marked
from Lake Michigan to Alaska by cairns,
iron pillars, earth mounds and timber
clearings. There are 3S5 of these marks
between the Lake of the Woods and the
base of the Rocky Mountains. The
British placed one post every two miles,
and the United States one between each
British post. The posts are of cast iron,
and cast on their faces are the words
Convention of London, October 90
1878" Where the line crosses lakes,
mountains of stone have been built pro-

telling trees for space rod wide.

Horse shoes made of compressed
cow-hide and chemically treated have
for long time been in use in England
and many parts of the continent. They
are much lighter than iron and said to
last longer. Split hoofs are never
known where they are used. They are
smooth, requiring no calks, as the
leather adheres to the most polished
surfaces without slipping.

An Injustice to Savannah.

The railroads are not dealing fairly with
Savannah in the matter of tourists. Last
year, when Savannah asked the railroads to
put her on the tourist routes, and give her
tourist rates, they said that the application
came too late. They intimated, however,
that her application would be favorably
considered this year.
The time is close at hand when the tourist
travel will begin. AS yet, the railroads
have done nothing toward giving Savannah
chance to get part of the tourist travel
Do they intend to do anythingg Is it their
purpose to deal fairly with Savannah in this
tourist business, or do they intend to stick
to policy which prevents her from getting
as much Of the tourist travel as she is en-
titled too
This is matter Of very considerable i'm
portance to Savannah. She now has as fine
hotel as there Ia anywhere in the country,
and as winter resort she has attractions
which are not surpassed by those of any
other place In the south She is, therefore.
entitled to the same liberal treatment that
is accorded to other southern cities.
The trade bodies of Savannah and the
city authorities should use whatever inhu-
ence they possess to induce the railroads to
abandon a policy which discriminates
against her. One of the roads, the one
which carries the most of the tourists to
Florida, enjoys valuable privileges from
Savannah, and should, therefore, be willing
to place her upon a footing with other
southern cities in the matter of tourists
rates.
Savannah does not ask any special favors.
She desires only that there shall be- no dis
elimination against her. And there will be
none if the people of the city insist upon
| fair treatment.

Circulars, announcing ''an immediate ad-
vance in prices owing to the new high
tariff" are burdening the mail of late and
advising dealers to mark up their goods
accordingly" So you will have to pay
some tariff whether it is tax or not. Yet
it does seems an outrage that lot of crafty
and scheming politicians should congregate
in Washington and deliberately put up the
prices of the necessities of life under the false
pretense of protecting infant industries"
where in reality they vote this unwilling
tribute from the toilers of the country into
the pockets of a few greedy monopolists
who divide with them.
