RETURN OF THE GRIP.
Two Deaths Resulting From the
Former Epidemic.

The deadly grip that carried off so many
people last winter has reappeared here, not
withstanding all assertions to the contrary, and
the first death from it was reported to the
health office yesterday. The victim was
seven-months-old child, who died three days
ago after an illness OF about one week.
The child was attended by Dr. Strickler, one
OF the police surgeons, who resides on Capitol
Hill, and in the return of the certificate the
grip was given as the Immediate cause Of
death.
DEATHS STILL OCCURRING FROM THE VISITATION
LAST WINTER.
Whilc this is tho first fatal case reported
from the disease contracted this season. two
cases have been reported as legacies Of the
visit of the disease here last winter. One
victim was white woman, whose illness, the
certificate stated. began in February, 1880, and
the other was colored woman who had been
complaining for several months.
4 health Office official said that these deaths
show that persons should AT least be care
full The disease, he said. comes in tho form
Of pneumonia, diphtheria, &C., and
oil persons who suffer from colds
be extremely careful Other deaths that were
reported, some from pneumonia, diptheria and
diseases of the throat and lungs. might safely
be attributed to the results OF last winters at
tack of the grip. although that fact was not
stated in the certificate.

From Wall street Today

NEw YORK, Sept l0--The stock market this
morning was a natural continuation Of those of
the past few days. and while there was some
animation in the few stocks which have been
most prominent of late, including Burlington
and Quincy, Rock Island. Chicago gas, Atchi-
son and ST. Paul, the remainder of the list was
almost neglected, and the dullness was more
pronounced than during the first hour for
weeks. First prices were generally but slightly
changed from last nights figures. though
Lackawanna was up y and New England down
=. The tendency of prices was upward
throughout the hour, but no marked move
ment occurred until toward ii o'clock when
both Chicago gas and Burlington and Quincy
spurted up sharply followed slowly by the
general list among which Pacific Mail was
most conspicuous. Chicago gas rose from sos
to 81 and Burlington from 81 TO 9s Silver
opened at ll73E; highest sale, lI75s, lowest
sale, ll71s; last sale, l17ss.
Cheaper Freight Rates to Brazil Needed.
United States Consul Burke at Bahia, Brazil,
after investigating statements that high rates
of freight between Bahia and ports in the
United States restrict trade between this
country and Brazil, has written to the State
Department that he found the statements
true, most Of the merchants importing from
Europe because Of the lower rate. Mr.. Burke
thinks that the establishment of an opposition
steamship company between the United States
ana BRAZILIAN ports would DO much 10 improve
the trade relations between the two countriea
Steamers From Cadiz 20 New York.
Robert W. Turner, United States consul ~
Cadiz, Spain, has informed the State Depart
ment of the establishment Of a line of steam
ers between Cadz and New York. Mr.. Turner
says that, aside from the large amount Of
American goods that come TO spain through
English, French and German jobbers. for
which we receive no credit. our trade with
Spain aggregates from SIG. 900 10 s24 600 900
per annum. The carrying OF this trade 10 suf-
fcient TO warrant the establishment of the new
line. Under present conditions, the consul
says every dollar OF merchandise sold 20 the
United States and sent from Spain TO Europe~n
countries for transshipment Is reported 10 b
Spanish government and by it, through 81 H.
tics to Its merchants being bought by sas
countries TO which IL is sent for transshipment,
and by this method England and France get
the credit Of buying Spanish goods that are as
a matter of fact bought by the United States.

For instance take the carpet industry.
In 1890 this industry like the Nation was
an infant. We do not say What our legis-
latures were then imbued with the spirit
of protection, but at any rate they didnot
wait until the infant carpet industry was
dead from competition or other causes,
but saw fit at that early day to admin
lister dose of " per cent of protection.
The child grew and needed a larger dose,
SO in 1892 itwas increased to 1Oper cent.
And the doses were increased as the child
grew as follows: In 1894 to Is per cent;
in 1903 to liz per cent; in 1916 to 35
per cent. In 1926 the child got too big
for per cent doses, so it was administered
by the square yard, and increased as the
child grew as follows: In 1925 20 cents
per square yard; in 1889, 40 cents; in
1882, SO cents; in 1912, IS cents,a and so
it was increased On some varieties until it
got as high as so cents per square yard
Tin 1860. AS will be seen from the
above, which is only sample instance,
the dose was increased as needed. Such
thing as waiting until the industry was
crippled and killed was not thought Of
The idea was to encourage and promote
a vigorous and healthy growth and
development. And if it is right with the
narnot inHucfrv tho iron industry op1
numerous others of the North and East,
why is it not right with the orange in
dustry OF the South?
Give us what we need and ask for now,
and don't wait until our business is ''be-
ing crippled by the existing tariff"
