The Athletics want Their Salaries.


PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 6-The players Of
the Athletic Baseball club held meeting
at the law offices OF Messrs Wolf & Judge
10 take action looking TO the recovery of
their back salaries. Mr.. Whitaker, the
practical owner of the club, sold that sthe
organization was pras ticallT bankrupt,
that he had put $1,000 of his own money
into it with the hope of floating it over it's
troubles, and that the only offer he could
make to the players was for them to run
the team on the cooperative plan and take
chances Of receiving their salaries by the
gate receipts. The players have not agreed
TO the proposition, but they will run the
club until something definite n heard from
the executive committee OF the American
association or the national board of arbi-
tration. Welch, Hughes and several other
members of the team say that they will
not agree to play on the cooperative plan,
but will remain with the club for ten days,
SO rs to be able 20 get the money that is
due them from the board q arbitration.

GEORGE DAWSON SalQ OF DlSrhen.
CHS politics are romantic, and his
romances are political, and he himself is a
fiction founded on fact" The only man
in this country who resembles Disraeli
is Secretary Blaine. The Plumed Knight
has something Of the tendencies TO con
spicious and sensational politics, but
only smattering of the literary ability
and taste Of the great English premier.
Where Disraeli was finished, precise aud
careful Blaine Is impulsive, careless and
inaccurate. Dlsrseli prepared his
speeches to influence and win men.
Blaine prepared his speeches and his let
ter to astonish. The English premier ac-
compli shed little or nothing because his
aims were more brilliant than practical;
his efforts tended rather to stsrtle,
amaze and please the fancy of British
Tories than to effect the great powers of
Europe. The statesmen OF other countries
soon learned that jingoism was intended
for home consumption, not to be applied
to continental diplomacy Sec
rotary Blaine is moving along
the same lines. His letter
from Europe during the Presidential
campaign aud his reciprocity proclsma-
ton we're pure sensations. He could not
effect legislation or party policy by
either, ne meant them merely to effect
himself and his chances for the Presi-
dency. he is like Disraeli, romaneer
In politics Only that and nothing more.
GREEN in the history Of the English
People says OF Walpole "He had the
sense to see what no other minister till
then had seen, that the only help a
statesman can give to industry or
commerce Is TO remove all
obstacles in the way fof their
natural growth" Walpole, in a
speech from the throne aid that nothing
would conduce more to the extension Of
commerce Ethan 70 make the expectation
Of our own manufactures, and the i'm
portation Of the commodities used in
the manufacture Of them, as prac-
ticable and easy as may be. =
These opinions present the historical and
the ststesmanly sides of the tariff ques
ton as it relates to industry. It cannot
be said that this view Of Wslpole
is not practical view, for lie
was one Of the greatest and the most
practical statesmen that the world has
known. He might be called the practi-
cal statesman Of England. In opposi
ton to this the modern protectionist
politicians-not statesmen-urge that a
tariff is imposed to raise wages, to con-
serve the home market and to reduce
prices. Such pleas are not borne out BY
fact or philosophy. The science
o, political economy, the extremely low
wages in all the protected
industries the depressed condition
o. agriculture and the high prices that
obtain, all prove that the theories Of
the protec,ionist politicians. urged in the
interest Of the tariff ROBBERS, are false.
None Of them could be true
ia the nature Of the case, because.
as Walpole lays it down, the only way
by which legislation may be made 70 con
duce Co the extension Of commerce Is I,
make expectation and importation prac
ticable and as easy as may be. AL
theories which traverse that broad an,
common-sense statement are simply th,
special plans OF the small class Of benef.
Charles of the prohibitory tariff laws.
