Work has just been finished on pro-
jcet of unusual interest that was under
taken by the War Department some
months ago, involving the making of
the important spots at and around the
old Appomattox courthouse connected
with the surrender of Lee to Grant in
1865. During the early summer it was
suggested to Secretary Lamont by Mr..
Kirkley. one of the memb ers of the board
having in charge the publication of the
records OF the rebellion, that it was
time now to mark these spots if it was
ever to be done, as the landmarks are
fast being obliterated by the passage of
years. The Secretary saw the Importance
of it, and Immediately gave orders to
have the idea carried out. Since then

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER %.
NATIONAL THANKSGIVING DAY.
BY THE PRESIDENT,
Proclamation.

While the American people should every day
remember with praise and thanksgiving the
divine goodness and mercy which nave io g et
them since their beginning as a nation, II IS NJ
ting that one day in each year should be espe-
eiaily devoted to the contemplation of the Ddess-
ing we have received from the hand OF Gou,
and to the grateful acknowledgment OF MS ioV-
ing kindness. ..a. .e
Therefore I, Grover Cleveland, President OF
the United States, do hereby designate and set
apart Thursday the 30th day OF the present
month of November, as a day of thanksgiving
and praise, to be kept and observed by all the
people of our land
On that day let us forego our ordinary work
and employments and assemble IN our usual
places of worship, where we may recall all that
God has done for us, and where from grateful
hearts our united tribute of praise and song
may reach the throne of grace.
Let the reunion of kindred and the social
meeting of friends lend cheer and enjoyment to
the day. and let generous gifts OF charity for the
relief OF the poor and needy prove the sincerity
of our thanksgiving.
Witness my hand and the seal OF the United
States, which have caused to be hereto
affixed.
Done at the City of Washington, on the
third day of November. in the year OF our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-three, and of the Independence of
the United States the one hundred and
eighteenth.

In the memorial which the Alabama
coal and iron men have sent to the Ways
and Means committee occurs the follow
ing:
On behalf of $50, 900 Alabamians who
derive their support from the mineral
industries related thereto, and On behalf
of one-third the taxable property in A la
bama invested in mineral industries and
other business and dependent on them,
we appeal to you to prevent iron ore and
coal from being placed on the free list.
Our iron industries are engaged in
severe struggle to keep alive. Wages
have been reduced and expenses cut
down, and still the market is below the
cost of production. They are in no condi-
tion to stand any further strain on credit
OF capacity to produce cheap iron.
Yet every one Of these $50, 900 Ala
bamians expressed the opinion last fall
that protection is a fraud, that it is rob-
berry of the laboring man, that it is I'M
constitutional and that it ought to be
abolished. Having thus voted they ought
not to cry baby now, but take their
medicine like men.

CURRENT COMMENT.
A HINT TO ADVERTISERS.

Not the number of papers disposed of
but the number bought to read, is the
thing that concerns the advertiser.
Guessing contest coupons and cyclopa-
dia checks may initiate by thousands the
temporary sale of a newspaper, but the
advertiser who pays increased rates
therefor IS. to speak plainly, victim of
bunco. The waste basket is always
gamer, and the man who wins the prize,
perhaps; but in no case the advertiser.

that every industry that we now have
in existence would flourish equally we'll
under revenue tariff system; but we do
maintain that whatever diminution
there may be in these industries will
very muchsmore than be made good by
the increased activity and greater pros
perty OF other industries Boston Her.
aid.
Here is a confession that revenue
tariff will destroy some.of our industries
coupled with the assertion that those
that remain. will be SO strengthened as
to make up for the loss 1t would be
interesting to know just how the de-
struction of one industry can profit an
other. When one industry is destroyed
great many men are thrown out of en-
ployment and lose their wages. In con-
sequence their purcashing power is de-
creased and in consequence of that the
products of other industries which they
have been accustomed to purchase are pur-
chased more sparingly, or if they are not
necessities, not at all. The view that has
always been held by political economists
is that the business of people is most
prosperous when the greatest number of
the people are employed, for then they
haYe the means with which to purchase
things which they desire. That view
is in accord with common sense and
common experience. But now comes
the Boston Herald and advances the
theory that the breaking down OF a lot of
industries and the consequent throwing
of many men out of employment an d
reducing their purchasing power will
benefit the industries that remain.
Let us assume that all our manufacture
ing enterprises were compelled to cease
working, and nothing should be left
but the farming industry. Then of
course if this theory of the Herald is
correct the farming business would be
doomed immensely. AS matter of fact
every sane person knows that exactly
the contrary would be the case. The
men thrown out of employment would
be forced to practice the sJrictest secono-
my and the market for farm produ cts
a great many of the unemployed men
would go to the farm, and the wages of
farm labor would soon go down as re-
suit Of the excessive supply of farm help.
The fact is that the more different kinds
Of industries a country has the more
prosperous it is likely to be. The capa-
bilities of men are different. Some are
fitted for one kind of work and some
Tor another. The more diverse the in
dustries the more opportunities for EN-.
ployment, and the more general the EN-.
ployment of the people the more prosper
Gus they will be. To break down any
one industry means to turn loose a good
many laboring men and reduce theil
ability to purchase the products of other
industries That is not the road to
prosperity, and neither the Boston Herald
nor any other tariff reformer will be
able to delude people of common sense
into any other idea.

No better proof is needed that the
Lehigh valley strikers are beaten than
is contained in the statement that they
are getting ugly. "Getting ugly is al
ways one of the premonitory symptoms
of defeat. AT first strikers always re-
solve to abstain from violence and keep
within the law. But their success in
gaining their ends always depends upon
their ability to keep their employers
from filling their places, and this is the
point on which all their energies are
concentrated. First persuasion is used
to keep new men away. While that sue
ceeds there is no resort to violence, but
when that begins to fail threats and
physical force are substituted The best
men may protest, but their
protests are of little avail. There are al
ways men among them that cannot look
with philosophical calmness on the
slipping the way of their opportunities
of gaining a livelihood. and who will
become ugly. The ugly stage has been
reached in the Lehigh valley strike
somewhat earlier than usual, because
the number of unemployed workingmen
in the country has made it easy for the
railroad to supply the places of the
strikers rather more speedily than usual.
