For Coroner : JOHN WALTON. SOUTHERN IRON MAKING. For nearly thirty years there has been a tariff on iron and steel for the purpose of protecting the iron and steel makers of Ohio and Penn sylvania, and now it is proposed to increase this tariff to give them. more protection. The more they have the more they want, and although they are no more "infant" industries by a long shot, they still plead as infants, and ask not only the paternal foster ing care of the government but more of it than they ever had. It is somewhat remarkable that the infant industries of the South are not bawling for protection, but seem to be very well able to take care of themselves without any governmental guardianship. These aged "infants" on the other side of the line plead for more protection against the "pauper" made iron of Europe, but the competition which they will be compelled to face in the future from the South will prove quite as serious, if not a more serious matter to the iron und steel makers of the North than the competition from abroad from which they ask protection. Although iron makers of Pennsyl vania have maintained that they had nothing to fear from Southern" com petition, that they could make iron as cheaply as Southern iron makers could, it is now a well established fact that they can't do it, and not only that but that Southern furnaces can make and deliver pig iron in Phila delphia at a less price per ton than the Pennsylvania furnaces can turn it out. The result of this has been an annually increasing demand for Southern iron which is being shipped in large quantities to Northern cities. The Baltimore Manufacturers' j5 cord, which keeps a close eye on Southern industries and is doing a good work for the South by showing from week to week what they are and what they are capable of doine- treating this topic, produees an ex cellent article based on figures . fur nished by Hon. Carroll D. Wright, taken from the books of the manu facturers, on the comparative cost of manufacturing iron in the South ana in Pennsylvania; from which we clip the following : Thpro hav hf?en manv manufacturers in Pennsylvania and elsewhere in the North who have stoutly maintaindd the absurdity of the claims of Southern iron makers to such low figures of cost as $8 or $9 per ton, and there have even been intelligent men who have regarded $10 as an extreme estimate of the mini mum cost of pig iron at soumern i uni ces. Estimates and arguments of every character have been advanced in sup port of the claims ot tne outnern iron industry, but by a vast number of well informed men they have been rece.ved with a very large measure of incredulity. Sincriilarlv enough, even the steady sale of Southern-made pig iron in Pennsyl vania at $1 per ton below the price of Northern irons oi equal graae nas nut hn to all men a convincing arerument of the advantages possessed by South ern turnacss. ui late AiaDama inu. x foundry pig has been selling regularly in PhiladelohiB for $17 per ton delivered in Philadelphia. The present freight rate from Birmingham. Ala., to Phila delphia by rail and water route is 4.25 per ton, so that $17 per ton delivered in Philadelphia means $12.75 per ton in Birmingham. Compare this with $18 to $18.50, the ruling price for local brands of No. 1 fonndry in Philadelphia. Meanwhile Alabama gray forge iron sells in Philadelphia;for $14.50 to $15 per ton, which represents $10.25 to $10.75 in Birmingham, while Pennsylvania iron makers are crying ruin at $15.50 to $15.75 for their iron of similar grade. De spite such startling figures as these, the competition of Southern furnaces has been esteemed very lightly by a oTp.it manv Northern iron manufactur ers, who have comforted themselves with the belief that the sales of bouthern iron in Pennsylvania existed mainly on paper and not in reality. Nevertheless, thp nrodurt in Southern furnaces is steadily flowing Northward. The writer has knowledge of one recent order for 10,000 tons of Alabama coke iron that is now in course of delivery in Pennsylva nia, and also ot a single furnace compa ny in Birmingham whose books contain orders for Pennsylvania delivery aers,re- gating upwards of 60,000 tons. Perhaps this is all moonshine, but to the North ern manufacturers whose sales arc di minished to just that extent it feels more like a stonewall when the run against it." Thest facts and figures speak for themselves and indicate a future bright for the iron industry of the South. Among the other advantages which the iron makers in the South have over those in the North are the abundance and consequent cheap ness of the ore at the mine, its prox imity to the places of manufacture and consequent small cost of trans portation; the abundance of coal for coking purposes in close proximity to the ore deposits and furnaces and the consequent cheapness of these; the abundance of limestone and its proximity to the furnaces, and the consequent cheapness of this, and the cost of labor, which is much ess than in the North. The aggregate of these items amounts to considerable in favor of the South ern iron maker, and to which the Northern iron maker has no offset, his only advantage being in the item of freightage on the iron delivered in Northern cities, having less dis tance to haul. But this is a small item compared with the others Well mav the Northern iron men re gard with apprehension this South ern competition, which they have already begun to feel, but only begun 1 hey will feel it more and more every year, as increased experience, better shipping facilities, and in creased capital enable the Southern iron makers to turn out their pro duct and deliver it at less cost than they do now. MINOR MENTION. Mr. Edmunds proposed to do some economizing Saturday by cutting down the River and Harbor bill to $13,000,000, one-half the amount called for by the bill. He gave as a reason for this that he expected that by the 30th of June, 1891, the Trea sury would be found $50,000,000 short, even if the tax were not taken off of sugar. When it was stated some time ago that there would be a deficiency of at least $90,000,000, and the figures given to prove it, the party managers became alarmed and got the Secretary of the Treasury to revise his figures. He did so and made the revenues of the Govern ment abont $100,000,000 more than he had made them in his annual statement. But Senator Edmunds don't seem to have much confidence in Windom's figures which are ap parently adapted to emergencies, and therefore expects to see the Treasury short $50,000,000 Secretary Windom to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Cleveland left a surplus of a round million, and these great Republican financiers have not only got away with that, but with an 'amount rang ing from $50,000,000 the lowest esti mate, to $140,000,000 which will have to be provided for by taxation, As surplus destroyers they have been an undoubted success. The Philadelphia North American, Republican, commenting upon the Tillman anti-Tillman racket in South Carolina remarks: "The result means very little to the" Republicans, who seem to .regard the present as a very good time to bring out a distinctive ticket and take the caKe wnue me Democrats are eating each other up. But it is a struggle of faction and whichever beats at the primaries thfc other will rally to its support at last." We sincerely trust that the writer in The North American may prove a true prophet in this instance, although there is not much in the present out look in that State to encourage this hope. But we can hardly believe that the Democrats of South Caro lina, with the bitter past before them, will be so insane as to permit these contentions to result in a split of the party and two tickets, which would lead to disasters compared with which the contentions of the Till manite or the anti-Tillmanite is as a cipher. The House of Representatives made short work of the Anti-Lottery bill Saturday, which was passed without opposition. This bill autho rizes postmasters to exclude from the mails lottery circulars, &c, and to exclude also letters addressed to par ties known to be acting as agents of lottery companies. Whether it con fers upon them the power to hold "suspected" letters we do not know. This was the most objectionable feature of the proposed law, because it put it into the power of a postmas ter who might be disposed to abuse his office and annoy or injure those whom he might feel inclined to an noy or injure. To the main pur poses of the bill no one not pecunia rily interested in lotteries objects, for the Government unquestionably has as much right to exclude frauds of that kind from the mails as it has to exclude obscene literature. STATE TOPICS . We publish to-day the text of the decision of Judges Bond and Sey mour, giving the grounds upon which they declare the Fertilizer tax im posed by this State unconstitutional. The Court is sustained in its de cisions not only by the authorities it cites, but also by decisions of the United States Supreme Court, as to the right of a State to impose a drummer's tax, and the "original package" decision which was quoted, but which only inferentially covers this case. If the "original package" act which passed the House of Re presentatives had become a law, it would have covered such a case as this, but that was laid aside as too sweeping and the Senate bill which applied on ly to liquors adopted in its place. This decision is a serious blow to North Carolina because it involves an annual revenue of from $38,000 to $40,000, which for years support ed the Agricultural Department, the oyster survey, the State Immigra tion agency, the bureau of Labor statistics, and also in part the Agri cultural and Mechanical College since its establishment. A year ago, when some of the Fertilizer manu facturers kicked against paying this tax and talked about testing it in the courts, the farmers held meetings and resolved to buy no fertilizer from any manufacturer who refused to pay the tax, and this had the ef fect of quashing the opposition in all except the case of the Norfolk company, which carried on the fight which resulted in the decision in its favor. The farmers may decide to pursue a similar course now since this decision has been rendered. THE FERTILIZER TAX. Text of tlio Opinion by Judges Bond and Seymour Declaring it Unconstitutional. Last June in the U. S. Circuit Court at Raleigh, the case of the American Fertilizer Company, of Norfolk, Va., contending against the right of the State of North Carolina to impose a license tax for the privilege of selling fertilizers in this State, was argued before Judges Bond and Seymour. They reserved decision, which was sent in Friday by Judge Seymour, Judge Bond con curring. It is published in the Chron icle of Saturday, from which we quote. After discussing the objection that the Court had no jurisdiction because the amount in controversy is less than two thousand dollars, and expressing the opinion that the amount in controversy is not below that required to give jurisdiction, Judge Seymour says: The main question is, whether or not the tax is unconstitutional. No doubt a State may fax any person for the privilege of doing any par ticular business therein, unless pre vented by some section of the con stitution of the United States. M'Cul lock vs. Maryland. 4 Wheat., 316, 429. The contention of the plaintiff is, that it cannot be taxed under the provisions of the Legislature above set forth because: I. Such taxation infringes upon the rights of citizens of other States, and therefore violates article IV, sec tion 2, of the constitution, which provides that "the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privil eges and immunities of citizens of the several States:" and, also, Art, XIV, section 1, of the amendments to the constitution, whice provides, that no State shall make any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." 2. Because such taxation is an im post on imports, and therefore vio lates Art. I, section 10, of the con stitution, which provides, among other things, that "no State shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any impost or duties on imports except what may be abso lutely necessary for executing its in spection laws." 3. Because such tax is an inter ference with the inter-State com merce, and therefore violates Art 1, section 8, which provides that the Congress shall have power "to regu late commerce among the several States."- I. We do'not find anything in the .legislation in question which brings It within the inhibitions in either sec tion 2 of articles IV of the constitu tion, or in the fourteenth amendment thereto. No privilege with regard to the sale of commercial fertilizer seems given by the act to any citizen of North Carolina which is denied to the plaintiff, and unless this be at tempted it could hardly be said it is deprived of any privilege or im munity it is entitled to under the constitution within the meaning of these constitutional provisions. II. Although the statute in ques tion does not in word impose a tax on fertilizers imported into the State, but one on the privilege of selling or offering for sale only, it is not now admissible to argue that the latter is not equivalent to the former. That question was settled in Brown vs. Maryland, 12 wheat, 419. A statute of Maryland required all importers of foreign articles or other persons selling the same by wholesale to pay license tax. The question was whether the imposition of such a tax was a violation of the two first men tioned provisions of the constitution. Marshall, C. J., in delivering the opinion of the Court defined "an im post as a tax levied on articles brought into the country," and held that a tax on the sale of an article is a tax on the article itself, and that a tax on the occupation of the importer was a tax on importations, The tax under consideration is a tax on the privilege of selling, that is a tax levied and collected in advance upon the occupation of selling commercial fertilizers. It is, therefore, a tax on the fertilizer. This case, however, differs from Brown vs. Maryland, (supra) for in that case the license was for selling foreign articles, and in this the articles sold are brought not from without the United States, but from the sister State of Virginia. The question then arises whether or not the term imports in Art. 10, sec. 10, includes as well articles brought into one State from another as those imported from abroad. Marshall, C. J., in concluding the opinion in the last cited case, holds that it does. He says (Brown vs. Maryland), 12 Wheat, at page 449): "It may be proper to add that we suppose the principle laid down in this case to apply equally to impor tations from another State." The contrary is expressly held by Mr. Justice Miller delivering the prevail ing opinion in Woodruff vs. Parham, 8 Wall 123, and implied by Taney, C. J., in Pierce vs. New Hampshire, o Haw. 554. Both of these cases may be considered as overruled in Leisy vs. Hardin 135 U. S. The Ori ginal Package law. Certainly the latter is. But whatever may be the result of the reasoning of the Chie Justice in Leisy vs. Hardin, it is nof where said in his opinion that the term import applies to an article brought from one State to another. Were it not for the forcible argument of the prevailing opinion in Wood ruff vs. Parham we would not hesi tate to say that the term import in cluded, as Chief Justice Marshall ev idently supposed that it did, goods brought from one State to another: Before the adoption of the constitu tion, therefore, at the time when it was framed and its phraseology dis cussed, an article brought from Penn sylvania into North Carolina would have been said to be imported into North Carolina, and a tax on it would have been called an import tax. It is difficult to say by what other name such a tax, if it could be levied, would be now styled. But, except ing the power of Congress to allow the levying by a State of a tax like the one under discussion, it is imma terial whethergfsuch a tax is an im port tax or not, for beyond doubt if it be not a tax on imports, it is a tax on inter-State commerce. III. It is therefore a violatiou of Art. 1, Sec. 8 of the constitution. Precisely the same reasoning and the same authority as that used in the preceding paragraph, prove that a tax on the privilege of selling or offering to sell fertilizers bearing a particular brand and brought into North Carolina from another State, is a tax on commerce between the States. Being a tax on "commerce among the several States" the power to levy it must be denied to a State, on the reasoning of Marshall, C. J. in McCullugh vs. Maryland, which has ever since the rendition of that opinion been uniformly acquiesced in by the profession. It is there held that the power to tax involves the power to destroy, and therefore that its uncontrolled existence in the State is incompatible with the power of the Federal government to regu late such commerce. It may per haps be said that the argument does not apply to a case where the taxa tion makes no attempt to discrimi nate injudiciously against the pro ducts of other Sttaes, and that such is the case with the statute sub lite It is true that the North Carolina statute does tax all manutacturered fertilizer offered for sale in the State whether manufactured there or else where, but as is said by Brad ley J- ln Robbins, vs.'- Shelby, Taxing District, 120 U. S. 189 .; "It is immaterial that no discrimina tion is made. Inter-State commerce cannot be taxed at all, even though the same amount of tax should be laid on domestic com merce." The question of the equali ty of taxation is in terms excluded if we consider the statute from the point of view of section 10, for that says that no tax or imposts shall be levied, It seems equally immaterial with reference to section 8, for a tax that must necessarily be in a greater or less degree the result of any taxa tion on an article whether it be at a discriminating or at an equal rate. In either case It diminishes sales and therefore importation. The only commercial case in which the amount of importation would not be reduced would be, were a State to tax: its own productions more largely than im ported goods. But even that would be only an apparent exception. The import would still have, the direct effect of checking importion,although the State tax on itsown productions, having a still greater effect in reduc their consumption might ruin rather than counteract the reduction of im portations caused by the impost. Leaving, however, this view drawn from the express words of the con stitution and returning to Judge Marshall's celebrated argument that the power to tax needs necessarily the power to destroy, and is therefore inconsistent with the power of the United States to preserve commerce between the States, it may be remarken that if the powers are given to a State to tax all imports from other States without control, provided equal taxation were levied upon the same articles if produced in the State, the State would practical-1 ly have the power to prohibit the in troduction of any article not made in the State. North Carolina might tax the importation of manufactured goods of certain grades, and Massa chusetts that of cotton and tobacco. If this tax can be sustained, it is cer tain that a license tax in these words would be unconstitutional. "No man1- utacturea cotton snail be sola, or offered tor sale in the State, until the manutacturer or person importing the same shall first obtain a license therefor, &c, and paid a tax of five hundred dollars." A similar tax upon the different brands of tobacco might be levied in any State that does not manufacture tobacco. But it is needless to multiply illustrations which every one can supply for him self. It must be evident that a re quirement of equality of taxation on the imported and home article would be no protection against such taxa tion as would seriously check, if it did not destroy, commerce between the States, and would impair, to the point almost of rendering its benefits nugatory, the domestic good results of the union of the States. IV. Defendants contend that this taxation can be sustained as a part of the police power of the State. Without attempting what is perhaps impossible to accurately define what does and what does not come under the term police power, it is evident that the taxation in question does not come within the ordinary use of the phrase, "Unwholesome trades, . r-r . operations oitensive to tne senses, the deposits of powder, the applica tion of steam power to propel cars, the building with combustible ma tenals, and the burial of the dead may all be interdicted by law in the midst of dense masses of popula tion," Kent. Con. 2, 340 cited by Miller T. in the Slaughter House Cases 10 Wall 62. This is called the police power Ibid. If the legislature in question can properly be reformed to that power it will be because the right to pass inspection laws may deemed to have its foundation in the police power of a State. Certainly if it be anything but what the act itself seems to contemplate, a tax on an occupation or a privilege tax, it is because it is used to secure an in spection of the commercial fertilizer before they can be sold in North Carolina. Such a tax is constitu tional, but only within the limits of the constitution. It can only be sustained to the extent that it is ab solutely necessary for the purpose of paying the expenses of inspection. We think that in this case the court might judiciously take notice of the evident fact that five hundred dollars on a brand of commercial fer tilizer is a much larger sum than can be necessary for such purpose. But the court is relieved from all embar rassment in this respect by the fact that the act in question declares by necessary implication that the tax is not needed for inspectian expenses. In Sec. 52, five hundred dollars of the money received from the tax on fertil izers is appropriated to the N. C. In dustrial Association, and in Sec. 23 forty-one thousand dollars is given to pay the expenses of the Depart ment of Agriculture, including $20, 000 for the completion of the oyster survey, and "all other revenues aris ing from the tax on fertilizers shall be appropriated to the establishment of an Agricultural and Mechanical College. The motiou to dissolve the injunc tion is therefore denied. SPARKLING CATAWBA SPRINGS. Health seekeT-s should go to Spark ling Catawba Springs.
