Perpetual Motion by Protection.

The California argument for higher fruit duties is q sort of perpetual mo- tion. The only disadvantage the Cali fornian fruit raiser is at is to be found i'll the cost of his land, but the only thing that makes his land expensive is the proiitablencss of fruit culture.
 So the matter works out in this way: The great profits of fruit raising sent the value of land mp to hundreds of dol lars all acre. The interest on the value of the land makes d large item i'll q fruit raiser's balance sheet, and he feels the need of high price for his fruit. This Senator Jones procures for him by letting ii he known that he will not vote for the tariff bill unless it contains duties on hides and increased duties on fruit and the cheapest sorts of wool
 The increased duty adds to the profits of fruit culture, and the price Of land takes another rise, whereupon the fruit grower complains that the interest on his land investment is so great or the rental he has to pay for his land is so high that there is all insufficient profit ill the business for him. and the only thing that will save him from disaster is more duty.
 Logically this process can be carried on indefinitely. Practically it cannot, because with the increase in the price of fruit the consumption of fruit will decline. The consumer will De worse off fer the change The grower. so far ss he is not to be considered as land owner, will be no better off, but the value of the land will ba as high as tho profits of fruit culture will permit. = Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin.

per in Savannah, but I'm 1880 he ceased his
work as a newspaper man and devoted
his entire time TO the practice Of medi-
cine. He married Miss Margaret Stirk
in 1898.
It was while engaged in the newspaper
business in Savannah that DR.. Arnold
started upon his career of distinction. His
terse, forceful, graphic style made him
one OF the leading writers of that day and
time. His logical mind, his fearless adj
herence to his opinions and his vigorous
labor kept him steadily to the front in
times when the storm Of political excite
ment was raging at its hight. He was
looked upon as one of the great masters
Of thought in those days. and from the
outset IL was easy for him to hold at once
the admiration Of the public and strong
friendship among all with whom he came
in contact, for conviviality was not the
least one of his characteristics.
The many incidents Of the times as they
bore upon his life are interesting in this
connection, for the life of no citizen of Sa-
vannah from the days Of Oglethorpe, If
it could be spread out, would show closer
relation with all that goes to make the
history Of the city and it may truly be
said of him that throughout his entire ca
reer he lived.

In virtue rich; in blessing others, blest"
DR.. Arnold was elected to the legislature
in 1899, and being an ardent democrat in
those stirring days when it counted much
to be leader In a political party, he be-
came prominent in the councils of state
He was elected to the Georgia Senate in
1872 over the lamented Gen. Francis s.
Barlow, the wing candidate, and served
with distinction in the upper house of the
assembly.
But the chief work of the life of Dr.
Arnold seemed to be directed to the good
Of Savannah, his home. Here it was that
he was almost idolized by the public He
was mayor in 1913, and elected again in
1851. and again In 1853 and yet again IN
1863. The people in those days would hear
of no leader but DR.. Arnold. Honors

er would never dream that It could be as
old as it really is. 1t is. perhaps, not go
ing too far to say that II is the Oldest
dwelling house in the city.
And what a world OF interest hovers
about the quaint old place. What scenes
of life and light, Of sadness and gloom
arise with the study of the years that
have passed, blending the history Of the
house with the history OF Savannah.
Times of peace and times Of war have
rolled by; armies have invaded Savannah,
devastation has been wrought by flames;
storms have swept over the city time
and time again, and generations have
lived and died, but the old structure has
stood throughout a century, and stands
to-day a mute witness TO all the checker
ed experiences Of Savannah, almost from
its Infancy.

the King OF England, Nov. Z, 1861, to Ed

HOUSE WITH A HISTORY.
THE ARNOLD MANSION ON OGLE-

ReveIry ReiEned There in the GIOri-

Around on Oglethorpe square at the in
tersection of Abercorn and State streets.
removed from the noisy avenues of trade,
and just far enough from the central part
of the city for the echoes of business to
sound far off and faint, there stands
quaint and picturesque old dwelling over
the roof of which the winds of nearly
hundred years have blown.
The place is known in modern times as
the Arnold house, having been distin-
guished as the residence of the late DR..
Richard Dennis Arnold during his life
time. DIR. Arnold, who was one of the
most conspicuous citizens of his day, was
born in this old house in August, 1893,
and died in the same room in which he
had first seen the light Of day, on the tenth
of July, 1876.
Standing to-day, all fresh and bright in
its new coating Of buff which shows off
in pleasing contrast with the verdure of
the wide-spreading lawn Of the square and
the dense foliage of the waving trees

its caves with naughty pride in conceal

ing of McIntire.
If the Catholic Library Association base
ball team plays next Tuesday in the game
with Augusta as it did in practice yester-
day afternoon, the team from the Sand
hills will have about as much chance of
winning as a cake of ice would have of
existing in that region to which Richard
consigned one of his compatriots.
McIntire, the new man from George
town college, was tried at short stop and
his work was IS karat. He is undoubtedly
the most brilliant amateur player in that
position ever seen in Savannah, and he
will probably be placed at short. Dan
O'Connor will remain at third and Bailey
Hipkins will go to right field. The rest of
the team will doubtless remain unchanged.
Krenson warmed UP some and his arm
is without a kink. Jarvis, who will catch,
left Thomasville yesterday. and Will ar
rive to-day. He has been playing with a
team in Thomasville for a month or more
and is in excellent trim.
The boys have been putting in some
team and signal work and marked i'm
provement Is shown in the way the nine
works together. The boys are batting well
and, without feeling over confident, they
think it is all over but the shouting, as
far as the outcome of the game is concern
ed.
The Augusta team has been strength
ened greatly by the addition of several
college players, and they are coming down
with the avowed intention of making it
three straights. Pedigo or Sanford will
pitch, and Moore. the backstop of the uni
versity team, will catch. Pedigo is the
twirIer who won an unsatisfactory game
from Savannah last week. He had done
nothing of note before this, and ex-Man-
ager Mulherln of the Augusta team was
so pleased at his good showing that he
presented him with new suit Of clothes.
1t is said that all the boy has done since
was to walk down Broad street with his
chest thrown out and his head inclined at
an angle of seventy-five degrees.
Augusta is working up giant excursion
and expects to bring down big crowd
of rooters.
An effort will be made to get an umpire
thoroughly posted on all the points of the
game and one whose standing will be sure
to command satisfaction. The game will
not be called until as hate an hour as pos
sible to permit Of 1t being finished before
dark.
