more food than an hours wages in
1904. The average Of wages per

higher than the average for the ten
year period from 1890 to 1899, in
elusive. The number of employees
was 1876 per cent. greater and the
average hours of labor per week
were al per cent. lower.

Ing the ten years from 1890 to 1899.
The aggregate weekly earnings of all

greater than in 1896, the year of
lowest retail prices. The purchas.
ing power of weeks wages in 1905
was s.5 per cent. greater than in
1906
The figures of the Bureau of Labor
relating to wages and the figures re-
lating to the increase of deposits in
savings banks agree in showing that
there has been a steady gain in the
net incomes of American wages
earners since the era of low wages,
low prices and diminished employ-
ment ten years ago in the period OF
Democratic Tariff revision, They
show a larger purchasing power and
vastly increased volume of wage
earning in these times of Protection
prosperity, and they also show
healthy increase in savings. In
spite of the greater cost of living
there has been an increase of $3.50,
o3I, 274 in the total amount of de-
posts in savings banks since 1903
the total savings deposits were ST.,
9s5, ao4,S4s, while at the close of
1905 the total had increased to $3,.
6I,236,IIo. The total for 1906
will undoubtedly show a further
gain.
There is no truth In the assertion
that the higher cost of living has
overbalanced the higher rate of
wages. Exactly the contrary is
true. American wage earners are
laying up more money and owning
more homes than ever before.

THE TARlFFNOT A TAX

The mind of the Democrat be-
comes wonderfully befuddled when
it it attempts to grapple with the
tariff question. The facts are the
Democratic party has never been
able to grasp the tariff question and
reason logically upon it. Probably
the main reason is that they start
out with false assumption and base
their arguments on false premis.
That the tariff is not a tax on the
consumer has beer proven over and
over again SO many times in this
country it seems almost superfuous
to mention the fact.
The tariff is great cheapener of
manufactured articles and has al
ways proved so. To prove this
ASSERTION but a few examples will
suffice.
All our cut nails were formerally
made in England, and retailed in
this country at IL to IS cents per
pound. Congress placed duty Of
81 cents per pound and in a short
time cut nails were selling in this
country at cents per pound and
thousands of American laborers had
fouud employment at good wages
and were dependent on the farmer
for their provisions.
Steel rails were not made in the
United States but were made in
England and sold to us at $Ioo and
more per ton. A wise Congress
placed duty of $2S.oo per ION on
them and they have sold for less
than the duty since.
Finally the wire nail was made in
Germany and England. Our me
chanlcs and builders had to have
the best. Wire nails were imported
into this country and retaileu al 8
to 10 cents. A duty of 4 cents a
pound was placed on the wire nail
AMI they have since sold in car lots
at 1 cent a pound and are retailed
at much less than the tariff rate of 4
cents.
For years we bought our tin
plate from Wales. We did not have
the tin ore and our good Democratic
friends said we could not make the
pYfe. The Mckinley bill put
heavy duty on tin plate and very
soon the best plate in the world,
made in America, was selling for
less than the rate of duty. Did
these heavy duties impose tax on
the American people? Had it been
so they would have cootinued to
sell at the old pride plus the duty,
but instead of that they sold for
less than the duty imposed. Do
not these few familiar examples
prove beyond doubt that, as
rule, the tariff lowers instead of
increases prices.
Then the great benefits derived in
this country from these duties has
been the immense factories that
have grown up giving employment
to hundrens of Thousands. of men at
fine wages, giving them the power
to buy the products of the farm at
remunerative prices to the farmer.
No, No, Democrat, you argue
from false premis on the tariff
proposition and all your conclusions
are necessarily wrong. Get right
on your premis and view the tariff
from an unprejudiced stand point
and you will soon agree that the
tariff is right and proper and one of
the greatest nation builders that has

On August 18th, God seen fit to
take from us our daughter and sister,
Mrs. Carrie Emma Smith. We sorely
feel our loss but we look to God in
heaven, who gave her to us, for re-
lief and comfort. If though our arms
were long enough to bring her back
to earth again, we would not, for she
is resting, sweetly resting: We have
that blessed hope of meeting her be-
yond this vale of tears.
Daughter, thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air evening,
When it floats among the trees.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more our songs shall
know.
Dear sister, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But tits God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorroWs heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life has fed,
Then in heaven with JOY to greet
thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.

vile, S. c., January 18, 1874, and
came to Mobile about thirty years
ago, engaging in business here. In
this city on the thirty-frst day of
August, 1879, he was united in mar

teen months ago, and was an efficient
officer, always obliging to every one.
For many years he was the humane
officer for the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, ard
his noble deeds are we'll remembered
by the people of Mobile. During the
Civil war he served with South Car
olina regiment, and was in the thick
of the fray. He came out with a re-
cord to be proud of. He was a mem
Der of Raphael Senmes Camp, Con-
federate veterans, and the Knights of
Honor. In faith he was Baptist, and
was a consistent member of St. Fran
els street church. His wife, four

In former article which appeared
in the Dispatch at the time Of the
terrible accident, it was impossible to
get the full particulars. However the
following from the Mobile Daily Item
of October 16, describing the accident
will be Of interest to our many read
ers:
"Mr. Quattlebaum, at the time he
mst with the accident that caused his
death, was on duty on the river front
ard was awaiting tbe arrival of the
fruit steamers Hsapanis a,A,a! Mercator,
which were due up about s o'c.ock.,
He was in the second story of the
barge office, which is situated on the
roof OF tl.e Louisville and Nashville
shed at the foot CT Government street
in company with Messrs. Joseph Pol
lard and Joseph Terry, fruit inspect
ers. Mr.. Quattlebaum, who. was
somewhat anxious about the steamers,
went out on the roof of the shed to
see if he could distinguish the lights.
He walked about five feet when he
was seen to fall, and the next instant
his body was heard to hit the floor of
the wharf with terrific force. His
companions went to his aid and found
him unconscious. The city ambu-
lance was summoned and fast run
was made to the scene. The injured
man was hurried to the hospital, where
he was attended by DR.. w. G. Ward.
AS soon as the man reached the in
stitution it was seen that he was bad
ly hurt, and everything possible was
done to save his life, but without sue
cess, and after two hours of terrible
suffering, he died.

Resolutions Of Regret.

In accordance with previous notice
the members of ST. Stephens Evan
gelical Lutheran church assembled at
the appointed hour and requested
brother M. D. Haoman to act as
chairman and brother c.. E. Leap
hart to act as secretary. The chair
man in few brief words explained
the object Of the meeting, which was
to take into consideration the resigna-
tion of our beloved pastor, Rev. j. Il.
Graichen.
On motion, It was decided by a
unanimous rising vote that we DO not
accept said resignat;vl, after which
brother Graichen arose and with
words that touched the hearts of all
present, thanked the congregation for
the honor bestowed upon him, and
asked that the vote be reconsidered
Ia order that he might accept a call
TO another field. The chairman called
brother w. w. Barr to the chair and
10 Justice to brother Graichen and the
congregation, offered the following
preamble and resolutions which were
unanimously adopted amid the many
tears and regrets of the members
present:
Whereas our beloved pastor. the
Rev. J. G. Graichen, having received
4 call to another congregation at
Grace church, Waynesboro, Va, after
serving st. Stephens church for the
past eighteen years; and in order to
accept said call, has thought right
and proper to tender his resignation
to our congregation, and
Whereas through his Christian e1-
SIMPLE, friendship and society, we
have been taught many lessons of pl-
ETY., love and charity, and the bonds
of fellowship 80 strongly bound around
us, that we lack foR words to express
our deep sorrow and pain in our part
ing with him; therefore be it resolved,
That it is with reluctance deep-felt
sorrow and heartfelt regret that Ws
accept his resignation,
That we, the members of st. Ste
phen's church, greatly appreciating
his earnest and undivided efforts for
the promotion, prosperity and wei
fare Of ogr church, and his zeal in his
pastoral work Among Us, do recog-
.sa.sze the pain and regret at the sever
ance Of the Christian ties that have
bound us together as brothers and
sisters for the past eighteen years,
That we feel and know we will miss
our beloved pastor and his kind and
interesting family when they depart
from us, but as duty calls them away,
it is with pleasure that we commend
and recommend him and them to all
loving Christians wherever they may
go, knowing that ST. Stephens loss
will be their gain,
That copy of these proceedings
be furnished our kind pastor, Rev. j..
g. Graichen and that they be record
ed in our minute book and published
