questions upon their merits and
their bearing upon the welfare of

time for caJm reasoning about the ;
things which make our common 1

The enormous system of taxation
which was inaugurated under the
necessities of a state of war, and
which has leen kept alive and in
creased under the cov er of preju
dioea growing out of that war, has
now to be examined and criticised
by the impartial judgment ot the 1
pronent generation. This exami-1
nation is to determine whether j
great economic questions shall be t
dealt with in a manner to satisfy
the greed of a clas or for the best
interest of the great majority. !

tariff permits some to be collected.
When it permits none to be col

ly no one would pretend that the
law "could be justified uuder this
taxing clause of the constitution.
Nor can it be sustained under the
third clause, which gives Congress
power to regulate commerce with
foreign nations, for this would be
to destroy, not to regulate, and a
power to regulate is not a power to
lestroy. Iho.-e who advocate a
i tantl for protection, therefore, claim
in effect that Congress has the
power to lay taxes which are not to

They are also in the wrong equal

protection can be one of the pur
poses ot the taxing power at all. It
has been decided again and again
bv the highest courts of both States

for public purposes. The very rs
sence of freedom is involved in this.

Dr. Yates Dead.
On Monday morning, jast a this pa
per was being arranged for the press,
tho following sad announcement of the
death of our dear brother. Rev. Dr. M.
T. Yatea. of Shanghai, China, was re
ceived. The Richmond Dispatch of
Sunday says:
A cablegram received by Rev. Dr.
Tupper announces the death in China
on March 17th. 1 888. of Rsv. Matthew
Tyson Yat8. D D., the oldest and most
distinguished missionary of the South
ern Baptist Convention. His health
had been greatly impaired by long and
arduous service, and it was expected
that he would return to this country for
rest during the spring of this year.
Dr. Yates was born in Wake county,
N. C. January S, 1819, and had entered
on his seventieth year. In June. 1 84 'J ,
he graduated with high honors at Wake
torest College. August 3d of the same
year the Foreign Mission board of the
Southern Baptist Convention of this
city appointed him a missionary to
coma, and on the isch or tha following
October he was ordained to the ministry
at."ale'Kb. C. Many of our citizens
meeting held in the First Baptist church
December IS, IS16, at which Mr. Yates
and others were formally set apart to
the work of preaching the gospel in
China.
For nearly forty-five years Mr. Yates
haj successfully labored in his chosen
field. Shanghai being the place of his
residence and the point from which his
operations were conducted. Southern
Baptists for many years have regarded
him a? their ablest foreign missionary,
Dr. Jeter said of Dr. Yates that he was
the superior of the great Missionary
Judson, and he was personally ac
quainted with both of them.
The death of our dear brother, though
ex pected by us, U a calamity to the Bap
tists of the South. To the Baptists of
personal
North Carolina it comes as a
bereaTement. He occupied a large place
in our hearts. Our eyes turned to him
as the leader in our work of sending the
7. 7 kJh . r .V V' n . 1 C 1 Proofs ot tll able policy of his ad
pliened a great work. Only last week,1 . . . - ...
we printed a letter from him full of ministration, and were worthily
hope and joy at the near completion of succeeded, at its close, by our own
his translation of the New Testamert Ofreat exposition. His farseeintr
criPture8 into the dialect of Shanghai,
He was at the time of hia death engaged
in revising the proof of his translation
for the press, and wrote hopefully of re
turning to America when this work was
completed. A true soldier, he has re
mained at his post and died on the field
of battle. Ilis life, his wo k, hia char
acter and his example are a rich inheri
tancs to the Baptists of the South and
specially so to h i brethren of North
Carolina.

The meeting was opened with singing
of ihe hymn : " 'Jesus paid it All. " after
which the Rev. Mr. Tolson mad a

The choir and congregation then sang,
"I Will (luide Thee,"' which was fol

ofiice close to the people: and in
man, of whatever station, ap
proached him in good faith, who
did not fee! that he was hi the

brief and feeble outline of an ad

annals ol the .State tor all time:
which will shine upon the pages oi
her history with a latie .second

bear comparison with that ot' anv
magistrate who lias ever been calb.vd
to preside over the in'eiests e a
free people.
His appointment as minister to
Brazil, though in some son a recog
nition of his d ist iligiilshed services,
was an honer scarcely cipiai to his
deserts. We had better keep sin ii a
