Many ladies have used our machines
twenty to thirty years in their family work,
and are still using the original machines
we furnished them a generation ago.
Many of our machines have run more
than twenty years without repairs, other
than needles. With proper care they
wear out, and seldom need repair.
We have built sewing machines for
more than forty years and have constantly
improved them. We build our machines
on honor, and they are recognized every
where as the most accurately fitted and
finely finished sewing machines in the
world. Our latest, the mo. g." is the
result of our long experience. In COM
petition with the leading machines Of the
world, it received the Grand Prize at the
Paris Exposition Of 1889, as the best,
other machines receiving only compli-

The Grand Prize was what all sought for,
and our machine was awarded it.

Less Taxation-More Factories.

The proposed repeal of the ordinance
exempting manufacturing plants in this
city from taxation is a step which
should not be taken without the most
serious deliberatfon. Since its passage
several new manufacturing enterprises
have been established here. some OF
them within the limits of city taxation,
but the largest and most productive,
like the great works at Sparrow's Point
and Curtis Bay, without those limits
The latter, however. doubtless expect
to be brought within the city at no dis
tant day and to thus enjoy the benefits,
of tax exemption. A sentiment, more-
over, is growing in other parts of the
state in favor of the exemption Of mans
ufacturing plants from taxation, and q,
number of the most important towns in
the state have either secured the privi-.
lege from the legislature or intend to
ask for it next year. It is also within
the probabilities that those fiourishing
manufacturing centers below Baltimore
on the Patapsco, seeing the advantages
which this city reaps from exemption,
will soon apply for it, SO that the city
council should be careful in acting up.
on the proposal for a repeal of the law.
Precipitate action of this sort may,
not only brighten capital away which
proposes to invest in manufactures here
in Baltimore, and induce that already
invested to take fight, but it may damp
en- the hopes of the thriving towns in
the counties which have lately taken q
fresh start, and are anxious to enjoy
privileges which have aided the growth

Pity the Poor Bachelor.

The serious proposition by the pro
vincia1 government of Quebec to impose
a tax or license of from 500 to $500 up.
on bachelors has created something OF
sensation in the cool and breezy land.
There is no disposition upon the part OF
the unmarried men to treat the matter
f1ippantly, as it is believed the govern.
ment is in earnest It is complained in
Quebec that there is a growing indispo
sition upon the part of men to get mar.
ried and that there is no excuse fer mo-
nasticism. In some of the far western
states there is a girl famine but in Que
bee the supply is largely in excess Of the
demand. |;
From what point of view the question
is regarded or upon what theory the tan
is proposed we are not advised. It may
be that failure to marry is regarded as
a crime, to be punished by fine or im-
prisonment Or it may be that celibacy
is regarded as blcst estate, for which
any man should be willing to pay lib
orally. If the first theory is the one to
be adopted, then great injustice may be
done. Many men would be only too
glad to get married, but can find no one
who is willing to marry them. It would
be manMestly improper to punish man
for not doing what he can not do.
