EpIroR HERALD From reading the arti-
cles in your paper, composed by the base
ball editor we have come TO the conclusion
that they need some corrections. In your
issue of August 18th you publish quite a
lengthy article parading the greatness Of the
" Maroons," which is quite natural they be-
ing your home club, and also good ball
players but you should not allow your ad
miration to run TO such length as 10 be un-
able to do justice TO other clubs in the
county. In your article of the 2sth of Sep
tember you make use of language in sub
stance as follows: After defeating the
MeyersdaIe club and the Jsnnertown q Far
mers they the " Maroons y had to reach
beyond the confines of their own county,
and pound two victories out of the " Con-
nellsville Greys''
You should remember that only once in
the history Of the Jennertown club have We
been defeated by club from Somerset, that
being or July 4th, 1889. The next game Of
the series of three was won by Us. on Au-
gust 10th. The third game never was play
ed, not because we did not want to, for we
wrote no less than six times to arrange a
date upon which to play, but it seemed every
day we selected, the I" Maroons, for some
reason, would be unable to play 50 we sent
word to them TO fix day.
On Wednesday, the 4th inst, we received
letter from the Maroons," stating that
they would be down upon Us ON Friday, the
9th. This gave US only one DAY TO prepare
the ground, and send word to some of our
players, who were away from home, and as
the time was entirely too short, we sent
them word not to come. Then, on Friday
evening, we received word from them that
they would be down the next day satur-
day.
On that day We could not play, owing TO
a previous engagement TO furnish music for
harvest home picnic, but we could not
reach them by mail in time to prevent their
coming, the time being too shot. The " Ma
Rooms accordingly came on Saturday,
went out upon our ball grounds, and had
some one TO call the game in their favor by
a score Of 0 to 0. Now they claim to be the
champions, which we refute. as we are now.
and have been for the past four years, the
champions of the county, and stand ready
TO defend our title at any time or place in
county.

1T is quite probable that the October
elections in the new States will add four
te the Republicans in the House at
Washington two from South Dakota,
one from North Dakota and one from
Washington. and that Montana will add
one to the Democrats. The House would
then stand l6s Republicans and l62
Democrats, and requiring lG6 10 make a
quorum. 1t should be remembered that

DExocRArrc journals are in great mem
tai distress because, as they assert, trade
is depressed, labor idle aud manufactur-
ing industries paralyzed, by means Of
there being seventy millions Of surplus re-
manning locked up in the National Treas
ury. Suppose their assertions to be true
which they are not-is not the locked-np
surplus legacy inherited from the late
Democratic administration. and has not
the Republican party, at every oppCriu-
nifty, done its very best to reduce this
surplus by wiping out, in whole or in
part, the internal revenue taxes. which
take from the pockets OF the people,
without any requitai, one hundred and
twenty-five millions per year? ? Again,
and again, the advocates Of Protection to
our home industries, have labored in
Congress to have their tax repealed or
reduced, and at every trial have been de-
feated Dy the Free Traders. 1t is there

The details received of the disastrous
floods, in Japan, in August last, show the
calamity to have been one of the most
terrible in modern history. The loss of
life, it is estimated, will not fall short Of
1900 persons, while the destruction Of
property will amount to many millions
Of dollars. Our own great calamity in
the Conemangh Valley will help US 10
form an idea ofthe desolation and suffer-
ing that must have followed such visi-
tation.

The Foreign Market About Worth
less TO our Farmers.

less TO our Farmers.
NO amount of advertising, no profiers OF
reciprocal trade, no change Of fiscal policy
can force on Europe another peck Of wheat
per capita, scarcely another quart. for many
years to come. unless unexpected disaster
shall befall her crops.
These are words Of precious truth and
should settle the Tariff question with every
farmer in the United States The National
Grange at its annual meeting last year in
Topeka adopted a resolution requesting the
Commissioner of Agriculture to astertain IF
trade relations with European countries
could be established for the disposal Of
American surplus agricultural products.
The very explicit paragraph above quoted is
a part Of the report Of the commissioner,
made in compliance with the oranges re-
quest The truthfulness OF the entire report
viii not be questioned when we state that
its facts were collected and its deduction
drawn by Mr. J. K. Dodge, the well-known
statistician OF the Department Of Agriculture.
Europe is the only foreign buyer of our
surplus wheat. Its population is SJ0,00000O.
Its average annual production Of wheat and
-four is 10000 bushels. II annually pur-
cbases from other countries about ia 000,-
600 bushels Il annually consumes four
bushels per head Of grain and flour. or this
nearly half a bushel per head is imported.
All the Free Trade lunatics in the United
States can't devise a way to make Europe
buy FIVE bushels Of wheat and flour per
head of its population instead of four.
That settles the value Of the foreign mark
ct, so far as wheat is concerned. The grain
cannot be forced on Europe. But the Ameri-
can market can be expanded indefinitely by
increasing in the United States the number
OF the consumers Of food, this by increasing
the manufacturing population, this by in
creasing the number and variety OF manu-
factures, and by the increase of immigration
to meet the increased demand for mechani-
cal and other labor-Prce.
