SHORT TARIFF SERMONS.

Free trade has had five periods VI
relative prevalence in the history OF the
United States e., there have been five
distinctly marked periods when foreign
competing imports have been freer than
ut any others to enter our ports, to the
subversiop and overthrow OF domestic
competing industries. These were:
l. The colonial period, ending with
throwing over of the tea in Boston har-
Dor and the battle of Lexington in ITS.
The British parliament forbade US by
law to manufacture in order that they
might monopolize our market This
chiefly impelled US toward the war for
independence.
3. The ''peace under confederation"
period from 1888 to 1889, when no
national duties on imports existed.
This chiefly impelled US to adopt the
Federal constitution.
3. The period of the so-called recip-
rocity treaty with England in 1916 to
1924, eliminating in the final crisis of
1919.
4. The compromise tariff period Of
1883 to 1912, including the unparalleled
crisis of 1869.
5. The Walker tariff period of 1916
to 81, intensified by the further reduc-
ton in 81 and thus prolonged to March
s, 1861. This period was marked by
general poverty or ''hard times" crisis,
setting in in the summer of 1854, con-
tinuing into bankruptcy and non-pay-
ment crisis in 1855, which caused mer-
camille bankruptcy crisis in England in
1856, and this reacting produced the
bank crisis in America in 1857, after
which the country struggled on in a
pauperized condition until 1861.
Without single exception, our every
approach to free trade brought disaster,
particularly to farmers and working
people.

CROWDED SEVENTH STREET.

How the Dinculty May BE Overcome, Ac-
cording to Capt. ffebeger's Report.
Capt Fiebeger today submitted to the Com
missioners two plans for relieving the crowded
condition of affairs at It'll street northwest Just
south of Pennsylvania avenue.
The first plan is to widen the roadway Of 7th
street on the west side twelve feet, moving the
curb back on the building line Of the market
house. This, he says, will partially relieve the
situation, although the people transferring at
this point must still interfere with vehicles
going to and from the market.
A more radical change is submitted in the
second plan, in which it is proposed to leave
9Th street unchanged, but to open q new drive
way from Pennsylvania avenue to the space in
front of the market house. This driveway will
be thirty-two feet from the curb Of It'll street
and 81 feet from the walk around the proposed
District building. All vehicles going to the
front Of the market can thus pass from Penn
sylvania avenue directly to the space in front
of the market without passing down 7th street.
The estimated cost OF the first plan is s732 80.
OF the second S2.10S. Capt. Fiebeger thinks
the expense Of the plan adopted should be
borne by the railroad com pany and the market
company, for whose benefit the change will be
made.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
1t would seem desirable that when about to
proclaim police regulations affecting every
family in the city our Commissioners should.
before issuing their ukase, consult with those
affected by giving an opportunity for Discus
sion. The new rules about garbage afford
striking instance Of the necessity for some such
discussion. They are inypracticable and will
have to be modified. If there is a large alley in
the rear of building it may be practicable to
set out the garbage rs ordered. but when the
alley is q small one-say ten feet wide, as many
of them are--the result will be simply that the
garbage barrel will be knocked over by the first
team the garbage scattered the length of the
alley and the metallic barrel ruined or carried
away by the first conner. No one knows when
the garbage man is DUE or when. if due he will
come. Are we, then. to hold fermenting gar
bage under our front doorsteps for two or three
weeks at time to save the contractor from
taking trouble enough to do his work properly?
/ see by the papers that the contractor felici-
tates himself on having men who don't under
stand the English language to collect the gar
bage- 1t seems to the writer that intelligent
men would do the work in every way better and
more efficiently, and that he should be obliged
to employ men who can understand what Is
said to them by the citizens they are supposed
to serve.
Furthermore, while the writer has ALWAYS
used metallic receptacle for garbage, and it is
to be preferred, yet it certainly is serious
thing to tax every family in the city between
two and three dollars for the purpose, which is
what the order, if carried out would amoin ito
ut present prices. l suppose there are 40, 900
families in the District, of whom, perhaps,
1000 at present have metallic barrels. It would
be an interesting calculation how long it will
take to furnish the other SO, 900 barrels (which
at $3.50 each will tax the citizens nearly
$50, 000), and how many cars it will take to
bring them here. w. d.

DYNAMITE IN BIS POCKET,
Three Lives Imperiled by the Explosion of ,
Cartridge.

CarrluSe.
Anthony Duffy and child and Miss Katie
Coultry OF Scranton were nearly killed by a
dynamite explosion Sunday evening in Archi-
bald. Pa. A dynamite cartridge. placed by an
unknown hand in the left vest pocket of Mr..
Duffy, was the cause, and it exploded as, in
in company with Miss Coultry, Mr.. Duffy and
his little girl, about three years old. were re-
turning from the house of a neighbor. q,
The street was crowded with people and in a
short time multitude iocked to the scene Of
the explosion. No one knew the cause and
Duffy was apparently as ignorant as any one.
The injured pair were hurriedly taken to Dr.
Scanlon's Office. Miss Coultry's injuries were
not serious. The charge had perforated her
arm and caused blood to flow freely. DIR.
Scanlon examined Duffy and found that his left
abdominal region had been injured. The child.
which he carried on his right arm when the ex-
plosion occurred, was uninjured.
The vest pocket which contained the car
fridge was torn and part of the.cartridge was
clinging to it when Mr.. Duffy was taken TO the
doctors Office. The remaining pockets of his
vest were examined and another cartridge SINH
lar to the one which exploded was found. 1t
was about two inches and a quarter in diameter.
such a one as is used in blasting rocks. Not
the least doubt is entertained in Archibald that
this was bold attempt upon the life Of Mr.
Duffy.

COL. KINGS LAST HOPE,
Appeals to Gov. Buchanan to Make the Sen
tence Life imprisonment.


tence Life imprisonment.
There are two possible anchors Of hope for
H. Clay King Of Memphis, under sentence of
death on the 18th for the murder of David II.
Posten, but it is probable that one Of these has
been cut away. His friends may have recourse
to the United States Supreme Court, but from
the action Of the attorneys and also from the
opinion that application was made to the Su-
preme Court for writ of error before the steps
were taken in the federal court in Nashville.
This avenue of escape from the gallows closed,
the friends Of King have only one more road
leading from death by the rope, and John p
Buchanan holds the gate across il. None of his
friends are so sanguine AZ to hope for Col
King pardon by the governor, but his friends
and the lawyers are trying to secure a commu-
tation of his sentence to q life imprisonment
Judge Greer left for Nashville last night with
batch Of petitions to lay before the governor,
and yesterday C. B. Mitchell of counsel for
King visited the Jail and spent half an hour
with the condemned prisoner.
Col. King was in better spirits after the de-
parture Of Col. Mitchell, and the lawyer gave
out the information that he had great hopes
that Col King would be permitted to spend the
rest Of his days in the penitentiary.
After the departure Of Mitchell Mr.. Brooks,
Kings son-in-law, called at the Jail and spent
some time with him. In the meantime the con-
struction Of the scaffold will be commenced on
Wednesday in the Jail yard The death watch
will be put on Col. King today or tomorrow.

ARIONS IN GERMANY.

ing Society Abroad.

Exciting Experiences of the New York Sing
ing Society Abroad.
It appears from Frankfort, Germany, papers
that the Arion members who are touring Ger
many and Austria had an exciting experience
in that city. Upon arrival there July 25 they
were heartily welcomed at the depot. As soon
as the speaker who was to deliver an address
Of welcome in behalf Of local singing societies
began his speech police officials interfered and
harshly declared that no public meeting could
be tolerated until permission had been obtained
from the police authorities. Indignant, the
Arionites went to their quarters, the Hotel
Bruesseler Hof, where they soon after foated
the stars and stripes.
When the police commissioner noticed the
flag he ordered it down, rcmarking: 'Here, we
don't live in Asia, where flags may be displayed
at any time"
Thoroughly disgusted the Arionites decided
to leave Frankfort at once without giving their
announced benevolent concert, when Counsel
lor Steffans formally apologized for the action
Of the commissioner and withdrew the order
regarding the flag. The Arionites thereupon
remained and gave the concert, over 8, 600 peo-
pie attending.
The Fronkfurter Zeitung asks the American
visitors not to hold the people responsible for
the action Of the police and remarks that in
Germany people enjoy just g much freedom -

board is gradually growing, and it seems likely
when the rush of visitors begins that all the
applicants will be supplied at least with place

thousands of visitors on the books of the COM

thousands will be here to claim them. The

quently pointed out. but that seems to be the
way of human nature and there is nothing to be
done except to handle the crowd in the best
way possible when it arrives. People who have
rooms which are still unengaged need feel no
uneasiness, as there will be no doubt plenty of
applicants just before and during the early
part of the encampment week.
