blame for them, attributing them 10 MS

gnds that rule such occurrences. III he
Sts NO, 40 SO the people would not hesi-
tate To charge him with the fault. They
frequently memorlallze the throne to that
eject We read that on January bth
his Majesty prayed for snow. but the
much desired boon has not yet been
granted Two Gays later he announced
that I'VE propose 10 renew our prayers
ON the sth instant, but yesterday a heaVy
,,lI NJ snow was youchsafed, for which
we are bumbly thankful. Tomorrow we
will burn incense in the tn -ka0-tien.
The weather did not again call for ac-
tivity on his part until July I'd When
we find this statement from him
since the commencement OF the sum
mer refreshing showers gave great
nronise OF an abundant harvest for the
autumn. Unfortunately. too much rain
began 10 fan afterwards. so that we went
ourselves twice 10 the Temple OF the Most
High 10 offer incense and beseech the
protection OF the Supreme Merciful one,
praying that there may be change OF
calm weather. In consequence or which
our pravers were answered. Recently,
however. never-ceasing rains have again
arrived. and there are fears that they
will turn out to be a calamity. We, in
our great anxiety for the welfare OF our
people. have, therefore. decided TO go
again on the 18th instant 70 the Temple
OF the Most High to offer incense ana
beseech the clemency OF the gods for
serene weather once more" The rain
continued 10 fall. and his prayers did not
avail Therefore, on July 9th. he an
nounced that since they are spelling the
crops, and there appears no likelihood
OF their ceasing," he was determined
again TO 20 20 the Temple, and beg
Heaven TO grant calmer weather for the
sake of our subjects" He proclaimed
that he would also visit the Hsuen-Jeu
Temple. and ne ordered one prince TO
sacrifice at the Temple or the Propttious
Seasons in the imperial name; another
prince TO sacrifice at the Temple OF Mira
oles. and a third prince 10 sacrifice at the
Ningho Temple The rain did not abate.
and we read that a month later the En-
peror ordered an inquiry into the loss OF
five lives by the falling of 30 houses in
the Tartar city, and OF nine lives by the
falling OF "a thousand and hundreds OF
walls elsewhere in Picking, but II he

The speech Of Mr.. Millhiser was fol-
lowed by an admirable and practical
address on tobacco by MIR. James ".
Boyd Mr.. Boyd started out by saying:
This day reminds me of April IL, 1865.
You boys who wore the gray jackets
will remember that when we turned our
faces homeward about one quarter OF
those you would meet would say ''The
war Is not over; no parole for me-" and
three quarters would say: The war is
over. | will accept my parole and 20 20
work" And they did so TO work with
a will, and we can look back now and
see what they have accomplished. and
what a grand city they have built for us.
Now, sirs. many OF those same men have
been called to face the great storm OF
1898. the greatest that has ever visited
America IN our time. financially and com
mercialiy--and what has been the result?
We can safely say that II Is over and can
Iook back and say that Richmond has
held her own In ali she has passed
through. and has made a gain I'm her
banking capital, and also in her manu-
featuring interests.
Now. Mr.. Chairman, as l understand
IL. YOU asked me TO make report as

A POINTED ILLUSTRATION.

"To illustrate my point: man with
$50, 900 capital wants 10 go into business.
He Is offered a choice: one Is a slow
business Of long terms and long profits.
In which his capital will be turned over,
say. four times per year. He is offered
another business, in which his capital
would be turned over every week, but
on a small margin. and the profits in
both businesses would net him about the
same. In the dun business his taxes
would be 1864; in the active one they
would be 81 ~ or nearly $1,000 per year
more. To save this sum In expense Is an
item worth looking into. To further H.
lustrate my point, | viii take q capital
Of $4,000 and show how II is taxed ac-
cordng 10 its turnover and the percent
age OF taxes on capital employed"
Mr.. Munce then showed that $4,000
turned over four times in a year would
purchase $4,000 worth OF goods, on
which there would be a State tax OF
slsi and "A city tax OF $3.50. making a total
of $isf as against Il tax or only $3.50
on the same business In Philadelphia.
Mr. Muncc carried this illustration out
as far as using the capital in business
as many as hfty-two times in year.
showing that the tax here would be sl.i2i,
while in Philadelphia II would only be
$3.50. The point was also brought out
that on the same amount OF capital
