as any onew who compares todays prices
with those which prevailed even q dozen
or fifteen years ago will readily perceive.
But the prospect is held out to US that
one of the blessings which would follow
in the wake of free trade would DO still
lower prices. 1t is interesting to know at
what cost this phenomenally cheap
clothing is TO be secured Some
light is thrown on this. subject by
recent official report given TO the house
of lords by the Earl of Dunraven. The
author of this report has been Investigate
ing the condition of affairs among the
tailors in the east end of London. He finds
that a fair days pay for men ranges from
thirty two to fifty cents;' that one trousers
machinist in very good week earned
So. SO. while another made from 81 "A to

coats could not earn 81 90 week, though
she worked from o'clock in tho morning
until midnight One woman was found
making knickcrboclzers for three cents a
pair and earning $l20 week. The
author of this report remarks that while
there is dignity in ordinary work, in such
work as this thereis nothing but degra-
dation and the Earl of Dunraven. in com
municating the facts to the house Of lords,
said L.#..
HE believed that the conditions Of the
lives of these people were more deplorable
than those of any body of workingmen in
any portion of thecivilized or of the unciv
ilized world-infinitely worse. to his mind
than state of absolute slavery. 1t was
not strange that under such circum-
stances, as the report stated. women were
driven on the streets. and that the strong.
est men were killed out in the course Of
eight or ten years. What glorious pro-
duct this was of the civilization of our
age-what noble result of the Nineteenth
century, with all it's science. The conse-
quence of free competition. which political
economists told them were so beneficial,
was that men and women had to work
eighteen hours day for merely starvation
wages, that women were driven to u life
of dishonor as being less degraded than
the horrible circumstances which attended
life OF honest toll. and that the working
life of strong man was limited to eight
or ten years, ..y,
To cheaper the price of clothing at such
a prodigious cost seems hardly blessing

At Capital Park

Yesterday was red letter day for the Au-
gusta nine. The heavy batting which char
acterized their work in the forenoon was
promptly resumed in the afternoon, when
they faced Lezotte the crack pitcher of the
Lewistons. The way in which the sphere
very busy, and furnished abundant excite
ment for the audience. 1t was typical day
and the crowd that visited the park was a
large one. Every available seat in the
grand stand was taken and the crowd lined
each side to a considerable distance:
The game was umpired very satisfactorily
by Mr.. Scott of Lewiston, He was fortu-
nate in having few close decisions to make
on bases and showed very good judgment on
balls and strikes Mr.. Scott is evidently a
man who intends to make both sides play
ball and to promptly squelch anything that
appears to him to detract from this work
Pushor caught beautiful game and was
frequently applauded for his fine work. Fer
dy was quite wild and was batted freely at
times, but pluckily kept at work and pitched
better ball every inning.
All the boys batted we'll, Freeman, Wilson
and Patterson doing some especially fine
work Underwood's three base hit when the
bases were full, was special feature of the
game. The infeld of the Augustus did per
feet work. Some of Captain Freeman's ad
mirers presented him with fine bouquet OF
flowers. When Umpire Scott called Free
man in from the field to give them to him
there was a hearty burst of applause which
showed how popular our hard working anC
reliable captain is with our people.

Combined with Sharp Fielding
Wins Two Games for the Augustus;
At Togus.

The Augustus and Boston Blues rode out
to Togus yesterday in the barge Genesta, ar
| irving about $50. As they passed through
| the grounds of the National Home long lines
of veterans began to file out of the build
ings and form procession to the grounds
The grounds are laid out to the east of the
buildings and face south. Considering the
short time which the management have had
dition. The field is remarkably level but is
very rough especially in the infeld A ball
hit on the ground is almost sure for base
hit as it is pretty certain to bound in most
eccentric manner greatly to the disgust of
the ielders.
There was very large attendance at the
game, the field being lined with over thou
sand of the veterans. Augusta was also we'll
represented, several young base ball en-
thusiasts coming the pedestrian act, and
several more taking their best girls out to
enjoy the game. Several Togus young
ladies' also smiled encouragement from the
benches. Prominent among the specta-
tors were General Stephenson and his father
Capt. Cobaugh, wife and daughters.
The game was called promptly at ten
o'clock and Rogers stepped to the plate bat
in hand. Two balls were called and then
the Blues pitcher hit the batter in the left
arm disabling him from playing during the
day. Williamson was called from the scor
ers bench and substituted.
The Augustus had IA regular picnic with
Osgood and pounded him for nine runs in the
fist inning. Pratt was then put into the box
but was scarcely more effective, eight runs
being made in the second As man after
man came to bat and lined out one, two and
three baggers the faces of the Blues began
to match their suits in color but they showed
that thay knew how to play plucky losing
game, shutting out the Augustus in five of
the next seven innings
Their crack pitcher, DAILY, was not put in
IL the box but was saved for the
game with the Gardeners in the
afternoon. Burleigh pitched steady game,
the greater part of the hits made off his de-
livery being scratches which would have re-
suited in put outs on the Augusta ground.
The Augustus also saved their strength for
the contest with the Lewistons and did not
try great speed in running bases. The fea-
lures of the game were the batting of Free
man, Patterson and Wilson and the first base
play of Underwood and Davis. The veterans
applauded all the good and many of the bad
plays and were wildly excited whenever a fly
catch was made. Both teams were shown
over the grounds and buildings and after the
game enjoyed good dinner at the expense
of Uncle Sam, with three cheers for the
home and another round in acknowledge
ment of the attention of the management the
Augustus departed, all voting it the most en-
joyable game of the season.
