PLUNDERING INDUSTRY FOR THE SAKE

The income tax htly closes Il revenue bill
which Is 10y all odds the worst for American IN
dustrics that has been passed by either House
of Congress for more than thirty years. In
many respects II IS absolutely worse than the
tariff for revenue only which was In force be
fore the war. because it dscrimnatcs widely
but with exceeding injustice and unfairncsS
between different producers in every depart
ment Of industry. And II Is really much worse
than that tariff because It comes at a time
when industries and wages, and the personal
and family habits Of the people, have for Il
whole generation been based upon the cOndi-
tions which thorough protection produces

revenue amounting to $7J,000,0OO or more now

then stood would not yield revenue enough. ana

Regret Felt at the Death of Mr.. May
hew Platter.

Mr.. Mayhem Platter has Joined the ranks
of the departed. He died at $50 last even
ing For about six days he hung onto life
by mere thread. His wife and immediate
friends kept close around him, as the end
was expected at any moment. Paralysis of
the right side and of the throat, which pre-
vented his taking nourishment, was the i'm
mediate cause of death, while stomach
trouble of long standing was the primary
cause. For nearly two days before he
breathed his last he lay unconscious. Mr..
Platter was one of the towns leading citi-
zens, he having been identified almost all
his life with its principal financial insti-
tutions, and taken an interest in all move
ments of beneficial order pertaining to the
place. For years he was in the Farmers
and Mechanics National Bank, rising from
runner to head bookkeeper. He enjoyed
while there the particular confidence of the
president and cashier, and on the death of
