trebled, even though nothing tangible has been added to it's material assets, Hard and fast rules do not apply to tfts value of anything. A piece of property worth s1.OOO today may be worth s2.ooo tomorrow. merely because some improve ment has been made in the neiahbor4tood which adds to the rental value of tf1c property in question. Lands showing evil dences of iron deposits, which, ten years ago, could have been bought for s1o an acre, or even less. are now worth s5o. 600. Not cost, but earning power, Is the measure of value. This fact is exen.- pIified every day in almost every corr- munity in the country; and no man would dream of protesting against the increased valuation. or object to the placing of 6 loan at such increased valuation It is q business proposition and must be treated as such.
 The feeling existing against consoffda- tfons Is undoubtedly general, but fnvestt- gation will prove that it fs almost tn- variab1y unreasonable. That fs to say, as an open proposition, the majority of peo- pie will declare themselves against these consultations, say they are bad for the country and speak of the danger that turks in the "trust"-as they stfH call it. though 1t no longer is trust in any sense But they are rarely able to give any specific reasons for their belief.
 We are, as yet, only on the threshold Of the new era in the business world, and no one can say positively that the pres ent order of things fs and will be for the best That is still to be proven, and it can be proven only by time. All we can say is that, so far as we have gone, the results are certainly favorable Against the alleged injury that is intangible can easily be put the benefit that can be shown by figures-beneht to the working man, benefit to the consumer. beneft to the capitalist Wages are higher, prices are lower. investments are safer, more productive and more certain of return.
 Another advantage Of prime importance to the workngmen is that they may easily participate in the profits of these enterprises by investing their savings in the shares of the more solid and prosper ous concerns. Over g, ,40o. 600 900 is de- posfted in the savings banks of the Unit ed States, largely made up of the savings of the wage earners, and this represents only a portion of their accommodations With these vast resources at command, the workingmen of the country might in few years acquire a large interest in the concerns in which they are employed.
 The consumer is assured Of lower prices when big concern is the pro- ducer, because such a concern must have steady market for it's output in order to keep it's machinery busy. The loss of a day is large item. Therefore, in self defense the big concern must keep it's prices within the figure that will secure the greatest number of purchasers.
 The very motive of self-interest, even the law of self-preservation, dictates policy which is as necessary to the last ing business prosperity of these concerns as to their popular approval, without which they cannot permanently endure.

The point made by MT. Sage that fac- tory worth $s0.000 today is necessarily improperly rated at s1bo.ooo tomorrow, be- cause it has been combined with others under one managerial head, has not all the force that might appear from the bald statement of the facts as MT. Sage puts it A property is not necessarily worth only what it represents in the way of real estate, building and plant. It is worth rather what it represents in earning ca- pacity; and if, under combination, its earning capacity is trebled, because of the economy of production, it is not un- reasonable to say that it's value has been

ing of more than 50 per cent in steam heating means the saving of millions of dollars. With cheap fuel the great iron ore deposits of Texas can be utilized, and that State become as conspicuous for the production of steel as it is now for that of cotton. Nor does there appear to- be any, reason why this Texas oil cannot be piped to the coast at Port Arthur, for instance, and shipped thence to Great Britain or the continent of Europe. to be used there instead of high-priced coal.

Enormoua bank Deposits.

For long time the various banks of Birmingham have adhered to 8 rule of their own requiring every bank to close against business at noon on every Satur- day. This rule has been abrogated. and the banks will close at o'clock Saturday afternoons. just as on other week days.
 This change has been brought about by the pressure of business. the banks of Birmingham being far more prosperous now than ever before. The deposits now are enormous as compared with the fig ures of previous years.
 In The Age-Herald's advertising col- umns 1t is shown, and repeat ed here by way of example, the First National Bank deposits are nearly s4,00O.Oo0; the Alabama Nation al Bank, nearly sl,ooO,0oo; the Blrming- ham Trust and Savings Company, nearly s1. 1.75O. 0O0 That is to say, those three banks show deposits of about s6.b0o,oOo, not counting the other banks in this mere news citationl

The TunstaIIs and Others.


 Hon. Wiley c. Tunstall of the State Railroad Commission, the veteran and universally esteemed statesman of Hale. was in Birmingham yesterday, accom- panied by his younger son, Wiley c. Tun- stall, Jr., solicitor for the City Court of Anniston. They were returning from Bal timore, whither they had gone to secure expert medical advice as to Solicitor Tunstalrs health. He Is quite well now, and with him all is well.
 The father and son stopped for several days in Virginia, most of the while in of his opportunity to revisit the battle fields of Seven Pines and Gaines Mill, and other scenes of the great seven-days' battles around Richmond of the war be- tween the states, in which Colonel Tun- stall took a brave Confederate soldier s brave part, he having been almost fatally wounded in the battle of Gaines Mill. The owner of the property of that name, Dr. Gaines. was Colonel Tunstall's kins- was nuresd for many months, typhoid fever having added to the wounds of bat tie. Milk punches saved his life; they were the only food he could take for months.
 Colonel Tunstall visited the Gaines family the other day. and was happy where the battle was fought. By the way the Gaineses are relatives of Mrs. Edmond Taylor Taliaferro. the learned and brilliant Birmingham gentlewoman whom everybody admires.
 Those battles around Richmond were terrible on the Alabama soldiers. It was in Seven Pines that the lamented Colonel Sydenham Moore, commanding the Elev- enth Alabama Regiment, was killed, as was the famous Colonel Tennent Lomax, who died a general without knowing 1t. Colonel Moore survives in his sons, MT. sydenham Moore of Birmingham and MT. Rittenhouse Moore of Mobile, both of whom are closely related to the famous o'Neals of Lauderdale and the Tunstalls of Hale. Colonel Lomax lives in the per- son of his distinguished son, Hon. Ten nent Lomax of Montgomery What a world of great history there is in all that lost Confederacy!
