Customs duties were levied both on
imports and exports. There was also a
special tax on the loading and unloading
OF freight. the embarkation and dsem-
barkation of passengers, and transitory
dues of 10 per cent on duties on imports.
The revenues from these sources. as has
already appeared, constituted by far the
largest item of the receipts of the insu-
lar treasury. The Industrial and CONNER
cial tax was divided according TO the pop-
ulation of cities and towns. classified ac-
cording to character of business. and
graded according to amount of business.
There were six divisions on the basis of
population. San Juan, Ponce, and Maya
guez constituted the first division: towns
with customs houses of the first class the
second, towns with more than u. 600 in
habitants the third, the other three divi-
sions being graded down from u 600 to

sugar, rum, machinery, chemicals. choco-

pay special installation tax.
The second tariff embraced salaries,
wages. commissions, and the like Cover

amount Of their contracts, banks 10 per
cent Of their profits; importers and ex-

first division. Provincial and municipal
officers were not required to pay tax on
their salaries. But no kind of business

the State experts. Public baths, balls. |
and concerts, periodicals, including daily |
papers, laundries, funeral agencies gym

Gus subjects connected with the general
welfare of our country, has certainly

has been made prominent that all ques-
tons have two sides. In common with
many others I had no little prejudice
against moneyed men and moneyed in
situations, and for the gold standard
thought it a kind Of trick for moneyed
men to keep the reins in hand. 1t has
been an education to be shown the
bright side of corporations and trusts.
for if they do right they have bright
side. This prejudice which so blinds

ish as it is wrong. While corporations

A GREAT WORK.

We call attention to card published
in to-day's paper by Rev. George II.
Wiley. in which he outlines the mission
airy work which is being done in this
community under his direction. To go
into the byways and desolate homes
and carry the message Of peace and cong
ISOLATION and hope: to raise up the fallen.
to cheer the weak-hearted, to seek out
those who never so to church, and make
them to know that God loves them ana
that Gods representatives feel an in
terest iii their material and spiritual
welfare: these are more than sacrifices
and burnt offerings.
This is pratical religion. and it is prac-
teal religion that convinces and exc
cutes. The other sort don't count for
much. Those who help Mr. Wiley in
the grand work that he is doing will do
good TO others; will promote the cause
of religion and quicken their own faith. !

THE Law AND THE HOME.

The Suffolk Herald says that the bill
offered in the House OF Delegates to regu-
late labor in Virginia factories is not
suited TO this old Commonwealth. We
think so. We believe that the parents of
Virginia children are quite competent to
manage them, and to take care Of their
interests without the aid of the law.
Every Virginian is the master Of his
own household, and whenever the State
undertakes to enter that sacred precinct
and interfere with family discipline, it
commits an outrage on individual l!,er-
~. Let us draw the line at the family
door. Let us say always to the govern
ment, thus far shalt thou go and no
farther.
