The Question of Wages.

Reducing wages is the most
short-sighted course of conduct
that could be followed by manufact-
urers.
This fact has been made mani
fest by the experiences of the cot
ton operators of New Orleans.
The Providence Or. l., Journal of
Commerce, in discussing the stu
alton. says:
"The general reduction in wages
was evidently not the remedy that
the condition demanded. In re-
Spouse the price of goods fell at
once and the whole effect of the
reduction was thus more than
discounted.
ION the other hand the domes-
tic market was likewise paralyzed
by the reduction, as the wage
earners in the factory towns who
are among the best customers in
the country for the products of
the mills, have been compelled by
the strikes and reductions, to
practically cease purchasing
To take away from the custo-
mer the power to purchase goods
is the sure means of reducing the
price of commodities. This is not
a theory; it is fact, and the cot
ton operators have found it out TO
their cost.
This rule holds good in every
branch of trade. Lowering the
purchasing power decreases the
demand and lowers the price. To
destroy the market is not the way
to build up Charleston
Gazette.

IHE INCOME FIX.
1t VIII Yet Have to Become a
Law When Laws are Made
Tn SIIff .TfIsffee.

1t VIII Yet Have to Become A
Law When Laws are Made
to Suit Justice.
On the 29th of April Hon. VIM.
ii. Fleming, of Georgia, made an
argument in the House of Repre-
sentatives in behalf of the income
tax. The speech has attracted wide
attention on account of its clear
ness and cogency, and is thus COM
mented on by the Atlanta Consti-
tuition:
a great outcry was made because
the Democratic party, representing
the interests of all the people, pre-
sumed to comment on the supreme
court decision which declared the
income tax unconstitutional but it
should be borne in mind that the
outcry was not theresult ofrespect
for the court, but the outcome of a
desire to avoid paying taxes on the
revenue which the critics enjoy un-
der the protection of the govern
ment.
This incident shows what frail
partition stands between the organ
ic law and its utter destruction by
means of covepient and timely SUI
preme court decisions. When, by
the decision of one man; or by the
reversal of his decision, the gov
eminent is deprived of the power
to collect taxes in the most equita-
BILE manner yet discovered pow
er that has heretofore been exer-
cised unchallenged-it is time for
Democratic party, nay, all the peo-
pie, to look around, see where they
stand, and take such measures for
their safety and for the safety of
the constitution as the occasion
may seem to demand.
Congressman Fleming's speech
is very calm discussion of the
constitutionality of the law, and of
the bearings of the supreme court
decision. He presents some new
arguments, and though he lifts the
question out of the fogs of partis-
anship, it is nevertheless we'll
enough to bear in mind the fact
that parties will have to settle the
matter finally. 1t is one of the
great issues to be fought out here
after.
The manner in which the in
come tax was declared unconstitu-
tional was suspicious enough to
excite the suspicion and arouse the
indignation of thoughtful men.
Justice Shiras, citizen of Penn
sylvania, had declared in formal
opinion-Justice Jackson, of Ten
ness being absent that heincome
tax was constitutional Then, when
Justice jackson returned, the case
was reopened, AMI Shiras turned
around in his tracks and declared
the law unconstitutional.

a Dog Law.

Several years ago an unsuccess-
full attempt was made in this city
to tax dogs. The trouble to go
about and hunt up the brutes for
the purpose of taxing them evil
IDENTIFY was more troublesome, than
the revenues to be produced by the
law would justify. The dog tax,
therefore, could not be very easily
revived. After all the taxing of
harmless dogs which residents of
the city may see fit to keep on their
premises is not necessary.
What is needed most is for some
one to go about and kill all the
worthless ours that are not worth
taking care of. If man keeps a
dog on his own premises and does
not allow him to modest other peo-
pie he should not be disturbed.
But dogs running at large upon
the streets barking and swapping
at passersby are nuisance that is
intolerab1e The police should be
authorized and directed to shoot
every dog found upon the streets
unmuzzled or without an owner.
In other cities this matter has
been taken up for two reasons.
First to protect children and 9TH
ers from being bitten by rowing
dogs, and second as matter of
mercy for the many half starved
animals that roam about seeking a
bone here and there to prolong ex-
istence.
