business OF a country like ours is eX-
ceedingly sensitive to changes in leg
station of this kind. 1t has been built
up however ill-adyisedly, upon tariff
schedules written in the way | have
indicated, and its foundations must
not be too radically or too suddenly
disturbed. When I'VE act We should
act with caution and prudence, like
men who know what they are about,
and not like those in love with
theory 1t is obvious that the chang
es we make should be made only at
such a rate and in such way as
will least interfere with the normal
and healthful course of commerce
and manufacture. But we shall not
on that account act with timidity, as
if we did not know our minds, for
We are certain of our ground and or
our object. There should be an i'm
mediate revision and it should be

lily downward.
The nation as a nation has grown
immensely rich She is justly proud
of her industries and OF the genius
of her men of affairs. They can
master anything they set their minds
to and We have been greatly stimula'
ted under the leadership and COM
mand. Their laurels are many and
very green. We must accord them
the great honors that are their due
and We must preserve what they
have built up for us. But what OF
the other side of the picture. 1t is
not as easy for us to live as it used
to be. Our money will not buy as
much. High wages, even when We
can get them, yield us no great COM
fort. We used to be better off with
less, because dollar would buy so
much more. The majority of us have
been disturbed to find ourselves
growing poorer, even though our
earnings were steadily increasing.
Prices climb faster than We can push
our earnings up. We know that they
are not fived by the competitions Of
the market, or by the ancient law
of supply and demand which is to
be found stated in all the primers OF
economics, but by private arrange
ments among the producers them
selves. Those who buy are not even
represented by counsel. The high
cost of living is arranged by private
understanding.

The Inc cost the promo- ters, if is said, approximately $s6,oo0 The line has been operated at a loss by the promoters. It is claimed, and a deal was made by them with the Birmingham Rail- way, Light and Power company to take over tho property
 Considerable opposition arose over tho effort to have a clause in the fraSchlss requiring tile tAAtHoibH pA tfc eidiSleA system in the event of sale to the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power com- pany. The matter was finally adjusted by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Pow-l CT company agreeing to extend their present South Highlands line to the edge of the city limits on a 15 minute sched- ule, and to connect with the EdgewQQd line. This was considered satisfactory. 4 the ordinance was accepted and will bel formally adopted by the board of com-' missioner as soon as Mir. Weatherly re-l turns from Baltimore.

Vesper Services At
4 O'clock Instead
ofEuenir,g is Plan

An innovation which promises to
be a popular one will be instituted
at st. Matthew's -church tomorrow
by the rector, the Rev. f. C.. Smith.
This is the introduction of vesper
services at 4 o'clock in the afternoon
in place of the usual evening service
at 1880. Many OF the churches in
the larger cities have substituted the
afternoon service for the second ser
vice of the day in place of such SER
vice at night and the movement has
met with much favor In one par
ish in Denver this service is adver-
tised as the family service, and
being at a convenient hour, the en-
tire family attends In other par
ishes special music is given in place
of the sermon.
At St Matthew'S church no spe-
cial features are planned for this 4
O'Clock service at preseDt, but the
service will be the regular night SER
vice at the afternoon hour.
