know by experience, that as rule each section and part of the)country is prosper ous when the country itself is prosperous. It is more what we sell than what we pro- duce that brings business, activity and success.
 The Birmingham district maintains a commanding position as the cheapest iron making center of the United States. Iron can be produced no cheaper anywhere on the globe. What it needs is to sell its iron products at fair prices. This can be done when the country is prosperous. The record proves that the country was more prosperous from 1s46 to 1861, under the Walker low tariff, than during any other period of it's history. Again, with freer commerce with foreign nations the cheap iron products of the Birmingham district will find profitable markets in every part of the civilized world. This means the continued and rapidly increasing develop ment of our mineral resources, not so much in building iron furnaces as in man. ufacturing into finished products the out put of those furnaces; more people, more business, more prosperity.
 This line of reasoning might be profita- ply extended, but we leave that to the reader. What we wish to impress upon the business men of Birmingham and vi- Icinity IS that their interest depends upon lthe maintenance of a rational tariff for rev. |enue, such as the one we now have, which sives our industries all the incidental pro- ectioG that they reed or that is good for he people. MT. Underwood favors and Gill uphold this tariff. MT. Aldrich and
 is party are pledged to repeal it as soon
 possible and substitute for 1t the McKin-
 tariff or something worse, which would
 ain bring industrial paralysis and busi-
 ss disaster to the country and want and
 fering to the people.

EQUALIZATION OF TAXES.

To the Age-Herald:
 Your recent article on this subject calls to mind that the last joint committee of the two houses for the purpose of revising our revenue laws sat during the recess at Mo- bile. the Hon. Peter Hamilton chairman.
 Perhaps, through the influence of my good friend, the late Cyrus D. Hogue, then in the house and afterwards auditor of the state, MT. Hamilton did me the honor to solicit some suggestions from me.
 Having been employed for number of years about the tax affairs of my county, the inequality of the burden of taxation was always g painful observation to me. It was on this line mainly that my com. muuication was directed
 Thanking me most cordially for "valua- ble suggestions,o he added that in the opiuion of the committee s'the time had not arrived" to make such an important change.
 I think now the time has arrived when some important changes must be made or we will become seriously embar- rassed by the steady decline in tax values and the inevitable increase in the tax rate.
 An analysis of the assessments as re- turned by the tax payer will show diner ence of 25 to 75 per cent on farm Ian ds ID same locality and of equal agricultural value.
 This statement will hold good as to real estate in towns and cities. This being SO, it follows that neighbors are unequaliy taxed, and at the first opportunity they will correct this inequality as tar as con- science will psrmit-a tendency towards the lowest level.
 It is the plain duty of the state to equal izs the burdens of taxation on all It's citi. zens so far as it is possible to do. Of course, no law will be perfect in it's opera ton. The natural depravity. of man and the limitation of human wisdom set at naught the theory of perfection.
 To accomplish this desirable result 1t IS recommended that county board of equal. ixation be appointed, to consist of one member from each voting precinct or town- ship in their several counties well ac- uuainted with the real estate in their re-

THE BURGLAR WINGED.

GREENSBORO, Nov. 5.-(Special. .]-To- day at Sawyerville Wade McAlpine, a notorious negro burglar, was shot by G. companied by Brooks May, B. McCrary and MT. Martin, went to serve warrant on McAlpine for stealing from the smoke house of B. 8. Kimbrough. They found their man and ordered him to surrender; this he refused to do and started to run. Scale fired his pistol to scare him, where upon McAlpine turned with gun and att tempted to shoot Scale, but both cartridges snapped. Then Scale, Martin and May all commenced to fire, and the negro went down with a load of small buckshot in his hip and possibly one or two pistol bullets in his back. He was not fatally shot, and is now safe behind the bars.

spective localities, the comparative value for situation and productiveness, etc. This board, when organized, to meet at the county site once in four years to accom- plish the purpose of it's creation, the values so fixed to stand unchanged for that period.
 While it is not thought proba ble that we will again witness any marked fluctuations in real estate values, still the law should be sufficiently elastic to correct any evident injustice or errors that may be committed, provide for right of appeal, etc.
 It is probable that week will give suffi- cient time for the sitting of the board, the county to pay their per diem.

To GET control of the next House the Re- publicans must gain sixty members today. They cannot hope to make this gain in the South, and must look to the West. But In the West they will find the stronghold of the Populists. Even if the Republicans gain largely in the popular vote they may fall short of getting control of Congress. The only safe guess as to the complexion of the next Congress is that the majority will be small, whichever party controls it.
