Ar CHRISTMAS TIME.

The holiday season convinces one that
the world never grows old. no matter
what the age or condition of the average
person, he finds himself at Christmas
time bracing up and talking with
jauntier air. The branches of holly and
the Christmas trees which appear on
the street at this season act as a spur
to his memory and he recalls the scenes
in which he figured as boy at Christ
mas and never fails to wish that he had
never outgrown the Santa Claus period.
He stands side by side with the juvenile
and looks at the glttering toys in the
shop windows. If he has no children to
whom he can give presents he gives the
toys TO imaginary children and takes
pleasure i'm selecting dolls for the girls
and horses for the boys among his
dream children. If he is fortunate
enough to have a listener he will tell the
stories old to the listener. but never old
to the story-teller. of Christmas when
he was boy.

both real and personal passing to re-
mote relatives or TO bodies polite or
corporate. No distinction Is made be-
tween charitable and other requests.
This feature may at first seem objection
able, but not when it is remembered that
property passing into corporate owner
ship passes out of the province Of in
heritance taxation, and therefore will
not probably be subjected to taxation
again, and further than this in most of
the states property devoted to charitable
uses is not taxable at ALL
The policy of taxing inheritances rests
on the broad principle that the earth
belongs to the living and not to the
dead" This is a fundamental principle
of all governments, but it is carried TO
it's legitimate extent in none, although
for many years the nations have been
moving into closer harmony with it.
Under the common law a decedent coula
to certain classes OF heirs. but this is
now almost universally abolished. In
Indiana an attempt to create an estate
tail creates a fee simple, and the power
of alienation of estates cannot be sus-
pended beyond the existence Of lives in
being. By such provisions the former
control Of the dead over property has
been greatly abridged. Inheritance taxes
are founded on the same principle. A
man has the right to enjoy what he ac-
cumulates. but there is no natural right
TO control its disposition after his death
and aside from the proper provision for
persons dependent on the decedent no
one has any natural right to the ac-
cumulations of another. A nation may
therefore properly exact a tax for per-
hitting and carrying into effect such
a transfer.
Aside from the foundation of the law
in natural right it has other advantages
To a remote heir inherited property Is
usually so much clear and unexpected
gain, and the tax is cheerfully paid
There are also none Of the inquisitorial
features in such a tax that are COM
planned Of in an income tax on midi
viduals. The estate of a decedent has to
go into court for settlement. and its
character and extent are thereby made
public. This fact also makes such a tax
easy to enforce. The system is row N
use I'm several states and is proving
satisfactory. There appears no good
reason why it should not be made Of
national extent. unless it be the diversity
of national taxes. Possibly on this con
sidera;ion it should be left as a source
Of state revenue

notable effect OF the Mckinley
tariff is the announcement df the clos
ing of the Pennsylvania steeq works at
Steeljon which is to occur on Christ
mas. This company is pra stically the
same as the Maryland steel company.
which succumbed to the Mckinley
tariff some time since 1t opetated large
works at Sparrow's Point. Md. Both
these plants are large and splendidly
equipped concerns. The Steelton plant
employs 24O0 men, who will lbe thrown
out Of work in a few days. The Spar
rows Point plant employed about $500
men. Neither one is able t b continue
business under the Mckinley tariff The
exact reason OF this was given about
three weeks ago by Mr. Frederick
Wood. who is second vice-prRsident of
the Pennsylvania steel com any and
president and receiver of the Maryland
steel company His statement was as
follows:
Previous to the past year we were
in a position to compete mosk favora-
bly, with the steel manufactures of the
country. Just at present We are not,
though the fault is not our OWN. IL is
all Que TO the discovery of deposits of
good steel-mal1ing ore i'm Michigan on
the banks of Lake Superior. The ore
comes from what are known as the
Mesaba districts, and can be very cheap
ly mined by steam shovels and loaded
by them directly on the cars.
Owing to the freight charges We can
W4sNA Of
west of the Alleghanies in purchasing
this ore. Nor can the foreign ore from
Cuba and the Mediterranean, which we
use entirely, paying the duty of IS cents
a ton, compete with the western ore.
The result is that our steel business
has gone TO pot, and will continue so if
the western output holds out and the
tariff is not taken off the raw material.
If the tariff is taken off raw material,
we shall be able to compete on even
terms with the other steelmaking COM
panies. II II is not / do not think there
is a single company east of the A lie
ghany mountains, that VIII be able to
continue operations in steelmaking.
AS L understand the tariff Ii is In
tended to encourage the industry and
not TO shut up manufactures. When
this is the result 1t has outlived its use
fulneSs. With the tariff off raw mate
rails, eastern and western plants would
be on an equal basis.
Any person of ordinary intelligence
can understand the force of this reason
ing and the actual results are conclu-
sive evidence of its correctness. The
iron and steel tariff has become ques-
ton of local interests. The western
manufacturers are now endeavoring to
prevent putting ores on the free list,
not for protection against foreign
manufacturers, but in order to secure
an advantage over eastern manufac-
turers. The southern manufacturers
have the same motive as those in the
West A notable indication Of this is
the fact that Senator Morgan of Ala
bama, who has been advocating free
ores for years, and insisting that for
eign manufacturers could not compete
with under any circumstances. has
recently announced his intention to OPP
pose free ores What nasty piece of
grabbing this tariff robbery is!
