they tried to find whether Union,

The marble works were then visited,

white. Every guest was presented
with small slab of polished marble
as a souvenir. Our drive took us by
the handsome homes with their well
kept lawns, where roses and semi
tropical plants stay uncovered through
the winter months. Native Cherokee
roses cover every wall and unsightly
pile, while uannas and caladiums are

Tariff Tax on n Scarf Pin.
The Milwaukee journal,

The milwaukee, journal,
The grievance, and we might say
outrage, practiced on MIR. Chas. A.
Langridge of Lancaster, Grant county,
in the levy of tariff tax on n scarf
pin mailed to him by friend in Eng
land, full details of which we find in
The Teller, is simply n product o.
Mckinleyism. The pin cost Is cd, and
English postage was paid on the letter
enclosing 1t. The tax levied on the
pin Mt our custom house, to which IL
was sent by the Lancaster postmaster
rs regulations required, was $3.50. 1t
cost seven days time for Mr.. IAN
gridge to get his present, besides the
annoyance and vexation incident to so
preposterous n performance. The
whole proceedings, if not direct vio-
lation of law, was u plain perversion of
it. The article was not merchandise
or Tor sale, and IN all fairness not
dutiable. Such n tax on such n value
was imposition and u swindle. But
what better can Americans hope from
such tariff laws as now atllict the coun-
try? As long as they support extortion
rs Il principle, and lay n bony hand
on even the trinkets of childhood, what
better can they expect? The citizen is
first imposed upon and then robbed, all
under pretense of protecting American
industry, and the postotlice department
is subordinated as an agent to assist
the plumber. When one such case
comes to the public ear ten thousand
are passed over in silence. We feel
grateful to Mr.. Langridge for bringing
the facts in his case to public attention.
Only in this way can the masses be
made conscious OF the unsparing wrongs
that atllict them,
