Acting on the advice Of j. j. Martin the

Philadelphia an abattoir and are constructing
another large one in that city. We built one
in Jersey City last winter and have another in
course Of construction. We have one in New

At p. ID. Armour's Office il was said: Chi

As regards dress, there is but one popular

ground for this belief The avaut gardes of

A Southern Tribute to Union Soldier.
baltimore SUM-

Captain Lionel W. Day. prominent citizen
of Huntsville, Ala, died last week. He was
native of Maine, served with distinction in the
Union army and settled in Huntsville after the
war His funeral attested tho high esteem in
which he was held III the city Of his adoption.
Almost the entire population including mem
bers Of the bar. the Mayor and Aldermen. the
Grand Army Of the Republic and Camp Of
Confederate Veterans, were in the funeral
procession, which was the largest ever held in
Huntsville. The floral offerings and decora-
tons were exquisite and beautiful, the casket
and the grave were transformed by loving
hands 10 almost a mound of beautiful flowers.
The coffin was lined with tho sprig
of the Pine, representing the North. tho
home of his youth. Tho cedar too. was
there, representing the South, the loved home
Of his adoption. The outer surface was car
peted with the commngled cedar and pine.
Commenting on this tribute TO Captain Day.
the Huntsville Mercury remarks: 1T was,
indeed. a touching sight to see the remains Of
one who had come among Us a stranger and "A
Federal soldier who had neither family nor
relative living in our community. followed to
the grave by the representatives of every class
of Southern society. The gray-haired citizen.
the Confederate veteran and the fair women
commingled tears of sorrow over his grave
nor did the colored people forget his merits
for they TOO. in sincere sorrow followed him

4 Mortgage Tax.

side in the House but the Senate was Re

Among the schemes Of the House was a
proposition 10 tax mortgages. Tbs IL pop
ular scheme, II appears, among the farming
interests. but why 1t should be favored 10y the
borrowers Of money Is one of the mysteries
that cannot be fathomed. Whoever bor-
rows money is compelled 10 pay tho
tax When a farmer applies for a
loan in Alabama lie must pay not only
the eight per cent. interest. but also
the per cent. tax. He pays 10 per cent. for
his loan. TIE borrower always pays the tax.
lust as the consumer always pays the duties
upon the goods he uses. The corporation
outside of the State or the money lender who
lives out OF the State escapes such "a mortgage
tax He cannot be reached. lie IS therefore
able 10 loan his money whore the citizen OF
the State Is not able. A mortgage tax 0pe-
rates against the home capitalist and lender
and in fayor'of the foreign capitalist.
The result is very cleur The interest of 8
per cent established by law becomes prac-
tcally an interest of 10 per cent. The bor-
rover has 70 pay invariably 10 per cent. un.
less there is some evasion Of the law.
The farmers who wish 10 borrow money
and they all wish 20 secure advances at GER
tain seasons Of the year-are doing themselves
an injury by pressing the passage of laws tax
ing mortgages. The tax will invariably fall
upon themselves.

The Measure of Protection.
A. ~ NIL

Prince Bismarck. in the very interesting in
toryiew published in the Sunday World, said
that his opinion has always been that ma
tional labor must be protected" Mr.. McKin-
ley speaking in Rochester last week. laid it
down "a an axiom b govern the framing OF
tariff laws here that 'the rate of taxation
should be high enough 20 include the differ
ence in the cost OF labor In this country and
in the Old World Bismarck's frank declAra-
ton that lin passing the Mckinley bill the
industrial protectiOnists have gone too far"
IS sustained by statistics and by the COM
mon knowledge Of every intelligent man.
The ratio of labor cost in manufac-
tured articles in the United States was
shown by the last ccnsu5-nOt the Porter
fraud-to be not more than 20 per cent. Of
the whole. There Is not a schedule in the
20 per cent. Mckinley tariff in which the
duty is not far in excess IF the difference in
labor cost compared with foreign products.
and in many of them the duty far exceeds the
total labor cost Slr. Mckinley knows that
not only is there no provision in the law
which bears his name requiring protected
manufacturers to pay higher wages because
of the higher protection given them. but
that the tendency of wages has been down
ward ever since that law was passed. Bis
rnarck is right The Protectionists went
too far'-fully 30 per cent. too far. The
next revision will shake the bOunties and
the swindles ont of the monopoly fostering
tariff.
