TO THE GRAVE.
Funeral of the Late DR.. Charles e
RIake From Plymouth Church.

The widespread interest which was mani
tested IN the funeral of the la,e Or. Charjes T.
Blake. which took place yesterday afternoon
from Plymouth Congregational Churcn, was III
itself sufficient evidence OF the esteem In which
the deceased was held among those who knew
him during his life time. One OF the largest
assemblages which has ever gathered within
the portals of that house OF worship came
together on this solemn occasion and bowed
In reverence 10 the esteemed dead.
In front OF the altar stood the casket draped
with the stars and stripes and covered with
roses and panSies. About it were a number OF
floral tributes, comprising many elaborate de-
sign 8, which were sent by friends OF The de.
ceased and numerous fraterDal ORGANIZATIONS
OF which he was member.
The services were conducted by Rev w d.
Williams, and opened by The rendition of just

the Lord"
In The course OF bis remarks the speaker took
occasion to review the life of the departed both
In public and private capacity, touching prin-
clpally upon his career as cburchman and the
good example lift behind as result of a life
well spent and directed 10 benefit Others

decease from this world we can rejoice at the
thought That In the kingdom above there is one
who Will add 10 the supremacy OF life everlast-
ing, while awaiting those who are TO follow"
After selection by the choir the congrega.
ton was allowed 10 view the remains for the
last time, aud Tor nearly half an hour the vast
throng filed down the right aisle past the coffin,
then out, to swell the crowd in the front cOrri-
doris and the sidewalks on Post street.
The caSket was conveyed by the pallbearers
10 the hearse aud long line of carriages fol
lowed 10 Masonic Cemetery, where the remains
were laid 10 rest in the family vault. There
was shot service az the grave, which was
made very impressive.

STEEL RAILS.

Congressman johnson of Ohio, free
trader and single tax, has offered an
amendment to the Wilson tariff bill put
ing STEEL rails or the free list. Johnso n
says the company with which be is con-
nected can make rails without protection.
At the first glance the movement of a steel
manufacturer toward free trade would
seem an argument against protection. Ii
johnson can manufacture steel rails
against European competition why cannot
other steel-raiI manufacturers 1t appears
upon examination however. that Johnson
is engaged in manufacturing rails for
street railroads, and that he works under
patented processes. To what extent the
patents cheaper production is best known
to himself, but as bis mills are situated
some 600 miles inland, he certainly is not
brought into direct competition with for
eign manufacturers who land their rails
at one of the Atlantic ports. Mr.. johnson
might not be able to place.rails in an ocean
port in competition with European manu-.
facturers, and yet he mig INT hold his own
locality against foreign competition. He
does not seem to take much interest in
American industry except as relates to the
part of it which he owns.
An Eastern paper says steel ingots from
W hich steel rails are produced sell for ST.
per ton in American and S12 In Europe.
Except 25 cents per ton paid as royalty
to the owners of mines. every cent of the
S17 represents the earnings of labor. Be-
tween the steel ingot and the steel raj
the work is largely done by machinery
But it is in the process between the raw
iron ore and the steel ingot that the hand
labor is done. Now it is demonstrated
fact that the labor which produces the
S12 foreign ingot is cheaper than the la boz
which produce the 81 homemade ingot
AS "a demand for free steel rails would carry
with 1t demand for free ingots, it follows
that to hold our market American steel
makers would under free trade be forced
to do for S12 what they have been doing
tor GIT

THE FIGHT OVER WOOL.

The fight for free wool if successful will
be a convincing but costly lesson. 1t will
show the injustice of exposing one branch
OF large industry to foreign competition.
while extending the benefits of protection
to another branch OF the same industry.
The advocates of free wool have freely as
serted that with free wool our manufae-
turers woHld make a market for their
products abroad. But they have never ex-
planned how the free raw material of wool
would enable the manufacturer of wool to
compete with foreigners more than Amer
lean cotton manufacturers can compete
with foreign manufacturers. The Ameri-
can cotton manufacturer has the advan-
tage OF cost of transportation over his
foreign competitors. and yet a consider
able part Of the raw cotton we export
comes back to US in the form of finished
goods.

things needed at the risk of the refusal of
the Pos tmaster- Generals department to
make the required order, but such assnmp-
tons of responsibility sometimes make a
great deal of correspondence. The sug-
gestion Of The Postmaster-General is to put
the ten largest possibilities in class by
themselves, aud have appropriations made
for them by Congress direct, thus relieving
them from regulations which are properly
applicable to other postofhces. The ten
largest postoffices received 30.2 per cent of
the total revenue of the department. for
the last fiscal year. There are 6S, 403 post
Offices in all, many of which are main
tanned for public convenience at public
expense. San Fran cisco, being the eighth
city in the Union in The matter of post
office business, would come in the special
class If one should he created.

THE INCOME TAX.

The long controversy over the income

agreement by bare majority of the DEM
ocrats IN the Ways and Means Committee
10 report The bill as originally drawn by
Wilson of West Virginia, imposing a tax
of 2 per cent on the incomes of corpora
tons, whatever they may amount 10, aud
like tax on the incomes of individuals
when they exceed over $4,000 a year So
much difference of opinion exists. how
ever, on the eXpedency Of the tax that its
fate in Congress is extremely uncertain
The President is said TO be opposed to il
and so are the members of the Cabinet so
far as is known; ii Is bitterly denounced
by the Democratic organs in New York a:
responsible Republican papers like the
Tribune condemn 1t. Still there seems to
be body of legislators who hold that it
is the best way Of raising the $4,000 900
which is required to make up the expected
deficit Ia the revenue
The arguments against it are apparent
at glance. It's collection is expensive,
inQuisitorial and exasperating. 1t is
doubtful whether it is constitutional TO
make man whose income is $4,000 year
pay $50 for the support of the Govern
lDCHts huliC ITO uJdu nuUSt IucOIDo Is
S3999 year pays nothing. No such dis
elimination among taxpayers is in har-
mony with the fundamental principles of
taxation.
The last income tax was first levied dur
ing the rebellion when Congress was cast
ing about in every direction for sources of
revenue. 1t was collected at the rate Of 3
per cent on all incomes over $500. In 1864
the law was modified. The exempts were
limited to incomes under $500, and the per-
centage of taxation was IN ade gradual. In
comes between 5000 and 5000 paid 5 per
cent, those between 5000 and $40, 600 ~
per cent, those over $4,000 10 per cent.
This law became odious. partly In conse-
quence of the inquisitorial powers Of col
lectors to inquire Into the sources of a
mans income. In 1870 the law was again
altered. Incomes under $1,000 were ex-
empted and the tax on all others was re.
duced to 21a per cent. A taxpayer was
allowed to deduct from his income State
and local taxes. loss bv fire or by failures in
trade, sums paid on; for interest, rent and
labor. People took advantage of these ex-
emptions to such an extent that In 1872
only 72,949 taxable incomes were reported
to the collectors, and New York alone paid
81 per cent of the revenue raised by the
tax. The rural districts evaded it bodily.
Thus reduced to an absurdty tine law was
repealed.
An income tax has always been a large
source of public revenue in England. But
thatexample should not n ecessafily govern
the United States. The party in power is
too much given to relying on British prece.
dents and policies in its legislation.

SILVER CERTIFICATES.

The Oakland Enquirer asks il 'THE
CALL would have the Government, after
receiving silver on deposit and issuing GER
tiflcates therefor, pay ont that same silver
in violation of contract" Certainly not.
The silver dollars against which silver cer-
ticates have been issued should be left
until the certificates are presented. But
the silver that has been purchased under
the Sherman act was paid for in treasury
notes. No certificates have been issued
against this bullion. The coming of this
purchased silver bullion would certainly
not impair the ability of the Government
TO redeem its notes when presented. Even
if it be held that the silver should be held
as security for the notes there is the
S50.000.0O0 which represents the difference
between the money value of the silver
purchased and its commercial value,
which Mr.. Carlisle himself has proposed
10 coin. The pith Of the bond issue lies in
the official announcement of the policy of
the United s ates Government IN respect
to silver. Borrowing gold when silver is
idle in the treasury certainly means that
silver will not be recognized as money by
the administration. The executive branch
of the Government should not be allowed
to establish policy so vital to the inter-
ests of the people at large. /. is yet pos
sibe that the judicial department will de-
clare all legislation for the purpose of es-
tablishng a single standard, either of gold
or silver, unconstitutional. The constitu-
ton declares that the money of the United
States shall consist of gold and silver
coined as Congress might provide. The
weight and ineness of the coin may be
changed, but not the material. But the
executive department has usurped the
right TO demonetize the coin of one of the
metals which the constitution makes the
money of the country.

MINISTER WILLIS.

a New York dispatch says there Is no
truth IN the report that the Hawaiian
Government has demanded the recall of
Minister Willis. Evidently President Dole
is too much of man to visit upon sub
ordinate the sins Of his chief. Minister
Willis has only obeyed the orders he re-.
ceved from President Cleveland. Perhaps
he was too literal in following his instruc-
tions, but if the instructions were offensive
to the Hawaiian Government the fault
lies with the President. Minister Willis
has once before been the victim Of the
prejudice of his party. I ears ago, under
the Arthur administration. grand

was made postmistress at Louisville. KY.

administration had committed A Repub-
lican woman was receiving a handsome
