Unless the Thames can be relieved of
the tug boat nuisances that have been so
annoying Ia the last few Yale Harvard
races it is probable that these great con
tests will be transferred to some other
place. A prominent Harvard rowing
man declares that the time must come
when the Thames will be closed tn naval
cation during the time Of the race, and
the arrangements on the river governed
by the boating men, with the local
authorities. National legislation would
be necessary for this, but it seemed fit
ting that there should be national legis
istton concerning such a national athletic
event, for which the Thames course was
naturally so ideally fitted. The Oxford
Cambridge race on the Thames was, he
says, protected by such arrangements.

There are good many farmers who
would like to get their boys and girls in
terested in farm affairs, but who are at a
loss TO know how to do so. In some
cases the desired result might be attained
by getting the young folks some eggs OF
pure bred fowls, and letting them raise
some chickens for Themselves. The
cost would not be great, and it Is high
ly probable that the method Indicated
would not only give the boys and girls
a good deal of pleasure, but would also
yield them something In the way OF
profit. Thus the young folks and their
parents would both be benefited.

The same Journal, although an advo-

pungeut remarks on wool prices in its
editorial columns:
THE wool growers who have been
looking to the tariff rs the panacea for

most woefully disappointed High

ous for the enactment Of the tariff law,

worked, in fact to their detriment.
1T is easy enough for high tariff adj
vocates to figure out what the course OF
the market ought to be, but the test of
experience has demonstrated that con.
sumers Of wool are buying it on its
merits. They will continue to buy for
eign wool even ut Il higher cost per
secured pound than domestic tieeces, for
the reason that ultimate results are
more profitable and satisfactory. A

YoriS-They VIII Reap What Mckinney
sowed-The school Boys Twenty-Five
Cent Knife VIII Disappear.
When the McKin ev aw was passed
It was pretended by the protectionists
that it was not intended to increase the
prices Of any American made goods,
but only to enable the manufacturers
to hold the home market against for
eign competition and at the same time
sell their goods at the old prices. Even
to this day it is asserted that no adj
vance in prices have been made by do
nestle manufacturers in order to take
advantage Of the higher protection
given them by Mckinley
This claim is unfounded. The makers
of pocket cutlerv, for example, have not
'Gived up to the tariff" by maintaining
old prices. The sesentatives of the
American Pocket Cutlery association,
or pocket knife trust told Mckinley
that the effect Of the large increase Of
duty they asked for would not be TO
advance the price Of knives TO the final
purchasers but they have been in
dustTiously engaged in raising thei-
prices abroad ever since the tariff law
went into effect,
A large wholesale merchant Of New
York. one who handles both domestic
and foreign knives. was seen several
days ago and gave m interesting ac-
count Of how the pocket knife manu-.
facturers are putting up their prices
There are, he said. 'about twenty
five manufacturers Of pocket knives in
this country most of them in New
York state and Connecticut, and they
are nearly all members of the Ameri-
can Pocket Cutlery association. Soon
after the Mckinley law was passed the
association begnn TO have frequent
meetings in this city, and these meet
ing have taken place every week or
two since.
THE manufacturers have been over
hauling their price lists worry thorough

members Of the association were taken
in turn and each summoned 10 appear
before thc association at the ST. Denis
hotel in this city with q full line Of
samples Of his goods, On appearing
before the meeting he would be- asked
20 show his knives and give the prices
at which he had been selling
them. IN most cases he would be
directed TO mark mp his prices, but not
always Suppose for instance, the as
sociation had settled upon $3.50 dozen
