Jerusalem has always been as
ISOLATED in mems minds with the
poetry of religion and with the
strange and romantic history as
given in the Bible. People have
gone on pilgrimages to the Holy
City so that they might see for
themselves the scenery and sur
roundings and follow in the foot
steps of the founder of Christian
ity. Now it will seem that even
this once sacred place is to be
modernized. Jerusalem is to be
furnished with electric lights,
and an electric tramway is being
built between Damascus and
Jaffa. The daily receipts of the
electric tramway in Damascus
average $176. Electric lights
have been introduced into $50

FRIDAY. AUGUST 20. 1909.
Lead, Zinc And The Tariff.

The long drawn-our contest
over the tariff has at last been
brought to an end. 1t is certain
that the nation will now enter
an era of widespread industrial
activity and prosperity in which
the mining industry, which has
been laggard since the panic, will
no doubt come in for its share.
The promised revision down
ward has failed to materialize in
the majority OF cases; in fact,
the tariff as a whole has been re-
vised but little either upward or
downward. 1t is doubtful if the
majority of people would have
agreed to a cut except on articles
produced by others then them
selves. The iron districts shout
ed revision downward on every
thing save iron, the sheepmen
demanding substantial cut in
tariff still held for AN increase on
wool, and so it went. A revision
downward is splendid, as long
as our own homeproduct iscare-
fully protected.
Referring to mining, it is ques-
tionable if the tariff changes
have had any effect on the in
dustry as whole. Zine and
lead were the metals which stood
to be the most seriously affected
and the passing of the measure
results in a decided frightening
of the prospects of BOTH Zinc,
which had no protection before,
now has a tariff of one cent d
pound on ores containing over
twenty per cent, and as ores
running less then forty per cent
zinc can hardly be imported on
profitable basis it matters but
little if the low grade ores may
come in at lower rates. Zinc is
also blessed by a three eighths of
"a cent per pound differential
duty on spelter and zinc products.
Lead ore holds its own, as
under the old tariff. The ore is
taxed one and a half cents per
pound, with a five-eights of a
cent differential on pig lead and
lead products. The lead miner
of the United States can, there
fore, continue without fear of
the ruinous competition with
the countries where production
costs are so phenomenally low.
Apropos to the subject we
would call the attention to the
very material part played III
this controversy by the Ameri-
can Mining Congress. We hold;
and this with due regard to the
splendid energy and determine
tion OF those Legislators who
fought for and carried the sche-
dulles; that there would have
been a very appreciable difference
in the tariff rates of today and
those which woulu have been
passed had the Mining Congress
not made it apoinU to call aUten-
ton to the absolute necessity OF a
differential between the crnde ores
and the metal products. A tariff
which even though it protect
the ores, allowed the bullion and
the manufactured products to
come from othercountries, where

A coxMENDApLn nNrERrRrsE.

The Advertiser commends to the fa- vor and generosity of the people of Montgomery the proposed monument at Oakwood Cemetery to the members of Camp Lomax, United Confederate Vet erans. The veterans who have under taken this commendable enterprise have not yet made their appeal for popular help. but they will undoubted- ly do so and The Advertiser believes that any appeal they may make should meet with prompt response.
 The monument for many reasons should be built. The city should be interested in it, if for no other reason, than that it will improve and beauti- fly. this naturally beautiful cemetery, which unfortunately has been neglect ed by the city in other years. The arch and the square of Camp Lomax will become one of the show places of the cemetery. Visitors, and thousands of them go to the famous old cemetery where so many of Alabama's distin- guished sons are sleeping their last sleep, will wish to see the memorial arch and the Confederate soldiers square. The arch will give a new in- terest to the historic city of the dead.
 The survivors-and their number is few-have bravely undertaken the task nf a t1fn thafr of whom are dead and the others of whom in the course of nature must soon sleep beside those who have gone before. The names of the members of the camp, the dead and the living will be carved upon the monument. The dead will be distinguished by a Con- federate cross cut in the arch opposite their names. When one of the living joins in the silent city his comrades who have gone before his name on the arch will have chisseled opposite 1t the cross on the arch. It is a mournful thought that in some years in the future there will be no name, without its chisseled cross.
 The movement should commend itself to the families of brave Confederate soldiers who have died in the past. but whose name because of their ser vice will be cut upon the arch. They should feel it a privilege to contribute according to their means to the erec- ton of this splendid memorial and in so doing bespeak their pride at the ser- vice and record of their soldier kins- man. The city as a whole should feel an interest in the memorial.
 The members of Camp Lomax, the promoters of the excellent enterprise, should have given as soon as they ask. the funds necessary for the immediate erection of the arch.

miles more to carry 1t as far south as Panama, add an additional obligation on our part to safeguard property rights and preserve the peace in that region. Therefore 1t would seem an imperative duty for our government to join with Mexico in teaching Mir. ze- laya and all other disturbers of the peace a swift and painful lesson"
 In short, The Journal contends that the United States should at once de- pose Zelaya. the President of Nica- ragua. and issue a warning to him and all other revolutionists and disturb CTS of the peace that they must be quiet or abide the consequences. Be. ing Republican paper The Journal ad- vises the use of the ''big stick" on the heads of all Central Americans who refuse to be good. This would be in line with our policy for a num- Der of years. but would not such an action as the one proposed get us into trouble with other powers having in- terests down there? Opposing the ruler of a country that claims to be inde- pendent would seem to be a high hand ed proceeding, and we are not sure that even that would ensure quiet in that region. They are a turbulent. unruiy set, and we do not know that a con- temporary is far wrong when 1t calls them "a nest of savages."

in favor of engrossment Another followed suit. and the bill was declar- ed passed by a vote of 105 to I03.
 After a number of amendments were tackled on by the Senate. the vote on engrossing the bill was taken ana stood 24 to 23. That was the test vote. This is probably the only time in the history of the country that any meas- ure of such importance ever got through on so close a margin. The change of a single vote at either end of the capitol would have prevented its passage. The House accepted all of the amendments of the Senate, and the act was promptly approved by the President.
 Those historians whose verdicts are accepted as most nearly free from par tisan bias justify Tyler's refusal to, sign tariff bill that carried with it' the compulsory payment to the states of revenues from land sales while they, were SO badly needed to meet the cur. rent expenses of the general govern. ment. Yet Congress has never resent. ei any action of a president with more bitterness than 1t resented this action of Tyler's. He stated that he would not be forced to accept that which he would reject. even at the cost of re-, 5ecting that which he would otherwise accept. On this position he stood pal, ], and showed a strength of backbone that many partisans to this day refuse to acknowledge he possessed.
 Strange to say. the Act of 1s42 was made possible by the votes of Demo- crats. Four of them voted for the measure in the Senate. one of these being James Buchanan. afterwarJ president. They based their support on the patriotic ground that the coun- try needed more revenue. The passage of the measure was the signal for a revival of business. It was the most elaborate and carefully drawn act yet passed The duties followed closelyI those of the tariff of 1892. As to how much the new law contributed to the business revival opinions will always differ. but that there Is reason for the assertion that 1t did have an indirect. If not a direct. bearing in that direc- tion. few men deny. It Is interesting to note that although the Act really lowered the duty on iron, that industry had greater prosperity during the years that followed than 1t had enjoy- ed during the years under the higher duties of the Clay Compromise The Whig Tariff was distinctly a Protec- tfon tariff. and at the same time 1t was successful revenue measure
