SlGNALED TO CO AHEAD.
A Big Delegation Of Railroad Men Call
on General Harrison.

4 great deal of uneasiness has been
felt lest the republican candidate, called
on by so many delegations representing
varied interests and industries, should
inadvertently talk too much or say some
things that would prove prejudicial to
his success. No uneasiness need be felt
on this score Gen Harrison will make
no plumbers because his direct honesty,
purity of purpose. and general excel
lence of character are sufficient safe
guards. He has nothing to conceal.
Last week a delegation of railroad
meR, numbering S47 voters, called on
him at his house. Mr.. Shaw. yardmas
ter of the Bee Line. headed the delega-
ton, and, taking a position beside Gen.
Harrison, pulled the pin" as the boys
called it, and started the speechmaking.
He told who the boys were, and why
they had come to see the general Some,
he said, were conductors. some brake
men, some engineers. some fremen, and
some clerks. Some baggagemen," call
ed out a man in the crowd. Yes some
are baggagemen. some are mechanics,
some are yardmen, some are officers, and
some are in other capacities. The po-
sition of the republican party toward
labor was extolled
When Gen. Harrison 'tgot orders to
pull OUT a number of the boys shouted
to him that he was expected ito run re-
gardless of anything on the track"
Some one called out that 1.-The republi-
can ticket didn't need to carry any red
lights, for nobody could go fast enough
to run into it." Another invited the gen
eral to inspect his sand tank because he
was to do some DANCED good running
and his wheels shouldn' slip" You'd
better try your brakes. too; we don't
want you to run past the White House"
exclaimed a man who wore the badge of
the Brotherhood of Engineers. That S
so, general" another added; "the White
House is telegraph station. Well have
some orders there for you"
General Harrison said:
Gentlemen: Your visit is very crafty
ing to me and is full of significance and
interest. If [ read Alright the language of

publican train TO 60 ahead. You have con-
cluded that it is freighted with the inter-

then free trade is the policy; otherwise
we must protect our own hands and our
own brains.
''How are we to contend with the
sp1nners and weavers and carders of
other countries, when Indian wages are
from 10 to II cents day, In Russia 20
cents, in this country 81 q week?
''1t is stated by the best authorities
that we pay more than double the wages
30 paper-makers that they do in any
other country, and yet common paper is
less than cents a pound, and it used to
be more than five times that. In MAX
ing glass, Mr.. DePauw, of Indiana, tells
us that our skilled workmen average
S17.04 a week; in England they are paid
S7.05, in France 1854 and in Belgium
$500. He also informs US that before
plate-glass was made in this country it
cost US about 90 cents a square foot.
while in 1887 the average was 80 cents,
a reduction of sc % per cent. The
silvered plate-glass averaged, in 1915,
$1.26 a square foot; in 1887, S1097-a
reduction of about Is cents. Now, the
unsilvered plate is made in America, the
silvered plate is not: consequently
silver plate has only fallen 10 per cent,
while the plate made in America has
fallen 66 2-3 per cent.
1.-THE figures prove, and not only these
figures, but hundreds and hundreds of
others, that the protection Of American
industry gives us cheaper products than
we could get from foreign lands With
out the tariff, foreign lands would COM
bine against us. They would in the
first place sell cheap enough to pay them
for all they lost while they were destroy
ing ours, with good round sum as
interest.
''To see which side you are on it is
only necessary to ask: Should America
be independent, or should it be the serf,
the servant of other nations?'"

The Inter State Commerce Commission after
the Bad Old Standard Oil Company.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-The inter state
commerce commission today decided in
effect that methods by which the Stand
ard Oil Co., came to be such gigantic
monopoly must cease to be use. The
decision is in the case of Scofeld,
Sherman and Taylor and others against
Lake Shore d Michigan Southern rail-
road, involving oil rates from Cleveland
to other cities. The commission decided
that it is unlawful preference when arail-
road makes -ate in favor of oil ship
ments in tank car lots as against
shipments in barrel, carload lots. The
practice is ordered to be corrected, and
the mode prescribed by which this must
be done is by giving same rates on each
per pound. The opinion is by Commits
sioner Baagg.

mer to Hear arguments.
WASHINGTON, ) uly 28.-The democratic
members Of this senate committee On
finance intend TO make demand that the
Mills tariff bill be considered in the
regular way, section by section and
paragraph by paragraph, and they viii
oppose the proposition OF the repubi1-
cans TO cast 1t into pigeon hole Ia the
committee room, and give 1t no consider
alton. Republican members of the COM
mittee say IL is probable that no effort
will be made to report tariff bill at
this session, and that the senate will be
asked to authorize the committee to sit
during the recess of congress, continue
hearings to those interested In the
various industries, and get a bill ready
20 be reported when the senate meets in
December. If this is done, congress can
by the latter part or even the
middle of August.

BASE BALL.

A New Scheme 10 Make Sure Batting ia
 50 Extend she Foul Lines.
 According to the Sporting Times, President John B. Day will submit at the next meeting of the joint rules committee scheme that ia probably the most promising that has been suggested to increase the batting or rather decrease the chances of the felders. The idea is to increase the outfeld territory by the introduction of deeper foul lines, begin. ming at the diagonal corners of the home plate. The field area will be enlarged in pro- portion to tho distance reached in the field. Thus, at the base line, or thirty-fve yarde from the home plate on either side, the in- crease will be three feet, or total of six feet. At sixty yards from the plate the increase will be twelve feet and at ninety yards the players will have eighteen feet more ground to work over. The idea is to give both the in and outfelders more territory to cover and render the hitting when there is any more effective by decreasing the chances of beat ing ball batted to any portion of the field. To players who have reduced place batting to science this innovation will be boon in- asmuch as 1t will enable them to guage the ball to Q degree of exactness and land 1t in any desirable spot. To heavy batsmen like Rodger Connor, Ryan and Brouthers the in- crease of field territory will enable them to send up high fly balls and hot liners into the field with greater degres of certainty so that the guardians of that territory cannot cover the extension of ground rapidly enough to make the capturing of the ball certainty.
