Valuations At SIS Per Cent.
From the Hoboken Observer.


Representative Allen Il McDermott, who
was member Of New Jerseys first state
board Of assessors which in 1884 fixed the
valuations of the railroads of the state, re-
Gently spoke before the house sub-commit-
tee on labor, and III the course of his re-
marks he told the story Of his work Of
twenty years ago. He was asked by
Bishop Spalding if the railroad property
was assessed at its full value.
Mr. McDermott's answer appears in the
current number of the Congressional Record.
After explaining the methods adopted for
ascertaining the value Of the property of
the companies, he continued:
s'Well, they said in that element Of re-
maInder there are the vagaries Of financial
difficulties and wars abroad and that sort
of thing, and therefore we will take an ar
bitrary figure of fifty-fve per cent. 1t was
sustained after two years Of litigation; that
is, the rule and the assessment were sus-
tanned
According to the report of the state
board of assessors the total valuation of
all of the railroad property in the state,
as fixed for the purpose of taxation in 1884,
was $3.50, 437, 1888 This included prop
erty of the first and second classes and
franchise and personality.
Last year the valuation of all railroad
property was 1927, 1876, rs, likewise in
Guiding first and second class property and
franchises.
During the twenty years the increace in
railroad assessed valuations had been about
10 per cent. The increase in the assessed
valuation of all other property during the
same period has been about 100 per cent.
Practically all of the increase in rail-
road valuations during the twenty years
had been due to extensions and new prop
erty of the second class acquired. There
was no increase in the valuation Of the old
property.
If the valuation in 1884 was at So per
cent. of the true value, as Mr.. McDer-
mott, who ought to know, says, and the
assessments have remained unchanged for
two decades, with additions only for new
property acquired in the meantime, what
relation does the valuation bear now to the
true value? Certainly it must be much
less than the So per cent. of 1884.
Some of the lawyers and newspapers
which speak for the railroads have shown
an inclination TO dodge the main question
before the people this year, which is the
equalization of rates, and take up the less
important question of discriminative valu-
atoms. These figures would indicate that
they would better dodge both lines Of pub
licity.

in divorces during the decade, and this in
crease is believed to be true of the country
at large
We are setting ourselves earnestly to
study what best methods the churches can
adopt and what wise measures should be
asked in civil legislation to abate this dis
grace. The results Of our study we hope
to present in subsequent statements and
appeals. But this appeal is to the con-
science Of Christian people to cleanse and
purify the atmosphere of public opinion
and social recognition.
1.-THE fear Of legalized polygamy in one
State is enhanced by the fact Of unholy di-
vorce in many States. The faces of Chris
tian people must be set against this. The
voices of Christian people must be lifted
against this, not only TO secure civil legis-
lation, not only to enforce Christian disci-
pine, but to correct the tendency, to con-
troll the inclination and to condemn the
fact. We are pleading for the home, for
the family, for the children born and to be
born, for the protection of society and for
the preservation of the State
''We ask you to unite with us in earnest
effort, so that more and more the manhood,
the womanhood and the childhood of Amer
lea may make itself heard and felt, in the
determined purpose to stem the currents
which are sapping the foundations Of all
that is best and hottest and dearest to hu-
man life. Let US strive unitedly for the
things which are pure and true, for the
sanctity Of marriage, for the permanence of
the family, for the preservation Of the home
and for the perpetuity of the State .

Dependent on Protective Tariff

In his address at DesMoines our paternal
Secretary of the Treasury, dilating upon
Che, growth of the American people in pro-
Auctive and consuming power, said
There is no other such market ,on the
earth as that market which has been built
by and is now dependent upon the protective
tariff. /"
With matchless mineral resources, fer
tile soil and an intelligent and energetic
population Of 81 millions to be housed
fed, clothed and having myriad wants to be
supplied, it would seem that there might
quite market here independent of the
protective tariff.
Mr. Shaw can see nothing funny in APP
plying the term infant industries to the
billion-and-a-half steel combination, and
contends that protective duties are now
more necessary than ever because ocean
transportation has been cheapened and
reduced in time.
That argument would scarcely be ac-
cepted by even the Chinese of to-day.
