Views Of Jay Gould, Russell
Sage andS v. White Over
Their Signatures.
One Suit Of Clothes Must Do
for Two Now, Says Mr..
Gould.
Henry Clews Thinks Periodi-
cal Adjustments Of the
Tariff Advisable.

The New York World Is collecting a
series of expert opinions on the Nc
Kinley law which went into effect last
Monday. Among others it prints the
views of Messrs. Sage, Gould and
Deacon" White over their own sigma
lures. Mr.. Gould says:
The tariff, like all other great and
sudden changes, has upset the country
to such an extent that people hardly
know whether they are afloat or on
horseback. The bad results, however,
will not be permanent. The country
Will soon accommodate itself to the
change. In fact, the trouble has been
largely discounted by the anticipation
of the operations of the tariff.
l do not believe that the approach of
Feb. l, the limit of time for the with
drawal of goods from bond without the
payment of increased duties. will cause
stringency in the money market. This
cause alone will not be sufficient to
create a Stringency. This country is
largely contingent on Europe in its
financial condition. If anything hap
pens to disturb the business of Europe,
creating high rates for money, it will
naturally flow from America to the
other side. If there should be such
disturbance in Europe beeWeen now
and Feb. there would be tight money
here. If things in Europe continue in
an even way there need be no appre-
hension, SO far as l am able to see. that
the new tariff will cause financial dis
tress in this country.
cannot see that the new tariff of
itself will be disadvantage to the coun-
try. If it increases the cost of some ar
ticles people will simply use less of
them. Take wool, for instance. If the
tariff On wool makes clothing cost more
person will get along with one suit,
where he would otherwise have two.
Iron may be taken for another example.
Despite the reductions the iron indus
tries of this country will prosper. The
tariff on steel rails is reduced IS ton,
but the change will not let in any more
English rails. 1t is the same in all
branches of industry. Matters seem to
work out their own solution.
PRODUCTION and consumption will have
more to do with the situation than any,
thing else. The products of the coun-
try have to find market, and if they
cannot find it at high prices they must
find it at lower prices.
1t Is possible that labor may be bene-
hted by the creation of new industries
under the tariff, but / do not look for
any great increase in manufacturing in
terests solely from the tariff. The
country is growing, and industries will
increase and enlarge to keep company
with its growth.

IN THE JAWS Of SHARK.
A New Workers. Exciting Adven.

A New orker'S Exciting Adven-
ture While Claiming in Con-
necticut.
New York Times
Raymond ID. Odell, a wealthy New
Yorker who is summering at Phepp's
Point, Green Farms, a few miles dis
tant from Bridgeport, Conn.,, had an ex-
Ssing adventure Saturday with school
of sharks of the species known as man
eaters. His escape from death was
something remarkable. He was out
alone treading for clans short dis
lance from shore. when near him he
saw a great distur bance in the water.
and the next moment an immense shark
made fierce rush at him. Immediately
he was surrounded by school of the
finny monsters. Mr.. Odell raised the
heavy clam hook he carried and fought
the monsters as best he could, and tried
to work his way back to shallow water.
He called loudly for help, but the
vicinity is thinly inhabited, and it
looked as if aid was not likely to come.
One OF the sharks. more daring than
the rest, made a dash from the rear.
MI. Odell was unprepared for this at
tack. The monster caught the mans
left arm in his wide-open mouth. The
cries of Mr.. OdelI for help had reached
the ears OF some persons ON the shore.
and they arrived at point to see what
the trouble was. When the attack
came from the rear they were only a
few feet away. One of the party car
ried gun, and as the jaws of the shark
closed on the arm Of the struggling man
the gun was leveled at the nose of the
monster and discharged. The bullet
sped true to its mark, and the law
opened and Mr.. Odell was released from
his perilous position. -
The shark was only stunned, how
ever, and while the men were lifting
the rescued man into the boat it revived
and made its escape. Mr.. Odelps arm
is badly lacerated by the sharks teeth.

BY RUSSELL SAGE.

Now that the new tariff is in actual
operation think it will work to the adj
, vantage of the country. What has here
tofore been an uncertainty is now Ger
, tainty. Manufacturers and business
men generally can go ahead with their
affairs on an established basis. Manu.
faeturers know what it is safe to pro-
duce, and others know what it Is safe TO
buy.
do not think that the approach of
Feb. 1. the limit of time for the with
drawal of goods in bond under the old
tariff, will affect the money market to
any serious extent. / look for a GOOD.
healthy money market during the next
six months, but do not apprehend
stringency. The new tariff will lessen
impOrtations. and thereby save outlaws
for duties. On the whole, l am rather
inclined to think that the new tariff
will have favorable effect on the gen.
eral financial situation.
The tariff will give additional employ
ment to labor for the reason that under
1t nome manufacturers will be stimuIat-
ed. Labor, as fact. has its own prob
lem to grapple with. 1t is the only
thing which has not liquidated. The
reduction in the hours for work com.
bined with the advance in pay has been
more than many products could stand.
do not mean to say that this is true in
every case, but it is true in majority
of cases. The tendency of all articles
has been toward lower prices OH ac-
count of competition and over produe-
ton. Here Is an instance where the
tariff Enthusiastically improves the situa-
ton as far as labor is concerned, for it
will decrease foreign competition. The
skilled labor OF America possesses as
high an intelligence as that of any
country, and it will accept the situation
when it is presented in the right light.
The effect of the new tariff on the con-
sumner will not be adverse. Home com
petition will reduce the prices of all
products as low as they ought to be.
When there were no facilities for man
ufacturlng steel rails in this country
they cost $40 ton. A tariff and the
Establishment of mills here brought rails
down to S28 ton. and profit in the
manufacture was earned at that price.
Within my own experience iron sold at
S95 ton, and it was poor quality at
that. 1t has since been reduced to $25.
In accomplishing the reductions which
have named, this country employed its
own labor and kept its gold at home
instead of sending it away to pay the
labor of other countries.
The future of the country is one of
continued prosperity and growth. There
will be checks, but these will be bene-
fetal when speculation goes beyond the
bounds OF healthy enterprise. A strin-
gency in the money market has a whole
some effect. 1t restraints rash under
takings and keeps values within proper
limits.
Our government is strong, and COM
mands the confidence of the people to a
greater extent than at any previous
time in its history.

TARIFF AVERAGES.
MINNEAPOLIS.
UNDER AMUSEMENT.
The Head Divorce Case Reached
an End Yesterday.

The Head divorce case was finished
by 10 O'Clock yesterday morning, and
was taken under advisement by Judge
Young. Ernest was OH the stand again
at the opening, and his attorney led him
through all the specific charges made by
the testimony Of the plaintiff. He SIM
ply denied everything. He stated that
there had been no quarrel at the Hotel
st. Louis when he had taken away the
letter from her, but they had proceeded
quietly up stairs, arm i'll arm, and when
i'll the room he had opened the letter
and read it. Then she had tried to
snatch it from him. She had gone
quietly to bed, and he had not locked
the door. There had never been any
bracelet episode, and the story about
the soap was pure fairy tale.
He said that he had always been de-
voted husband, so much so that when
she was sick when they lived on Nicol-
let avenue. away from Mrs. Thomas, he
had cooked and washed the dishes. He
did remember something about the we'd
ding ring, but he had not been angry at
the time. He had asked her where it
was, and she had answered that she
would tell him when he returned the
diamonds he had stolen from her. To
this he had not replied.
He claimed that upon the time of his
sickness his wife had sent and begged
to come to him. and that when he let
her come they lived again as man and
wife. This statement was made to
prove cOndonement. She was recalled,
and denied that they had occupied the
same bed. She said that he was very
low. and she had been sitting up with
him Oh all the evenings. At the close
the attorneys made little argument in
their summing up. Mr.. Sumner pleaded
that the offerses. if any, had been con-
dOned, and that there was no corrobora-
tive proof of the acts of violence. There
fore, the burden of proof in the contra
dictory ststemants made by each. rested
on the plaintiff. Mr.. Jamison argued
that enough facts had been corroborated
by Mrs. Thomas to fix the truth of the
whole. Judge Young took the case UNI
der advisement.

BY HENBY CLEWs.

1t is great relief to the business
community that the tariff bill has been
settled. 1t is now a law. The prolonged
period given to its discussion in con-
gress worked serious injury, as it led to
excessive speculative lmportations by a
great many heretofore conservative
business men and the adoption of I'M
sound financial methods in connection
Herewith.
believe in periodical establishments
of the tariff. as, i'll country like this,
where we have to create cur own meth
DDS, relying little upon the precedents
established by other countries, we
naturally have to resort more or less to
experiments. Besides, our country is
growing SO rapidly in population and
wealth as to make what was suitable in
the way of tariff decade ago not so
at the present time.
When snake outgrOwS it's skin 1t
throws 1t off for new one suitable to its
new growth. Whena babe reaches youth
and youth manhood, the change in
growth implies discarding old apparel
for modern. A country like this needs
similar occasional radical changes to
keep pace with its periodical stages in
growth, both as to population. and
wealth. So with. the tariff. When we
outgrOW its provisions we should set
aside the old methods for new and bet
ter ones. i am pfOtectiuniSt. Still,
In my Judgement. tariff duties should
be adjusted simply to what is required,
firSt, for the purposes Of revenue, and
then to compensate for the difference
III the rate of wages in this country and
others with which our manufacturers
have to compete. In this country labor
is paid far better than it is IN any other
nation, and it is one of the glorious
features to be recognized in this coun-
try that the labor classes are better pro-
vided for in the covering for their
heads. the clothes for their backs
and the food for their sustenance
than the same classes in any other Sec
ton of the world. To provide, therefore,
for continuance of this and to equalize
the difference between the wages
which admit of this condition as against
the low wages in competitive countries
that do not admit of it, the tariff is es-
sential. With the equalization of the
question of labor manufacturers should
receive no other protection in this coun-
try.
Our inventive genius and the conse-
quent superiority of our machinery, in
addition to our production of very
large part of the raw material that is
required, should enable our manufact-
urers to beat the world. We can. pro-
vided the price of labor in this country
is properly adjusted by the tariff.
The defect in the Mckinley bill. if
any. is that it involves departure from
this equitable principle, and to that ex-
tent it is likely to prove. fear, both an
economic and political disappoint-
ment.

HARD PROBLEM TO SOLVE.
Base Ball Magnates Wrestle With
the Question of Federation.

DSAoc Dull aSuateS WreStI6 With
the Question Of Federation.
New YORK, Oct. 1O.-The delegates
to the National Base Ball league con-
yention went into session again this
morning at the Fifth Avenue hotel to
hear the report of the committee which
conferred last evening with committees
from the Players league and American
association. There was full attendance
of the National league proper. A. G..
Spalding, in conversation to-day, said
that there was disposition on the part
of the National league to look at this
matter Of union from a fair bust
ness standpoint, and if they can
arrive at some solution they
are all disposed to sacrifice something
for the good of the base ball business.
He said they wished to bring base ball
back to its former glory. Mr.. Spal-
ding declared that the National league
people realize that there is an effort by
the public press and base bail geers to
bring TINS work to close, and they are
going to assist in this good work. They
do not favor any temporary arrange
ment, but want something permanent.
Atpresent they have no idea of what
will be done, but suggestions will be
made and received between now and
the 22d of October, at which time there
is to be another conference. The
morning conference of the presidents
of the National league continued until

of their committee which meets that

of all they had to report and the mem
bers attending the conference had little
to say ON the situation. A. G. Spalding
thought that some satisfactory agree
ment would be easily made within a
months time. In the meantime the
base ball managers will see what can
be done in the various cities. There
was great deal of talk INDUCED in as
to what could be accomplished, but no
