Yerkes and Berger to Go to
Cortland This Season.

ed an arrangement whereby Pitchers
Fallon and Yerkes and Catcher John
Berger go to Cortland, N. Y, for this
season All three remain under Scran-
ton contracts. Cortland is not within
the pale of the National agreement.
berger will manage the Cortland
team. He is a player of many years
experience and, while below the degree
of efficiency for Eastern league play
ing, should coach the two youngsters,
Fallon and Yerkes, so that they will be
in good trim for the season of 1898. The
deal with Cortland, though consum-
mated, does not go into effect until
next week Wednesday.

a rather loosely played but interesting
game. Taylor was decidedly off in his
pitching and aided in the Banlmore' )

delphia scored only in the fourth inning,
when, after chances were given to retire
the side, five runs were made on errors, a
single, double and home run. Score:

The home and the visiting clubs di-
vided the honors yesterday and in
consequence there is a marked change
in the percentage record this morning.
Buffalo got an undeserved victory from
Scranton and in consequence the tie be-
tween the two for first place is broken.
Scranton is now tied with Springfield
in second place. Syracuse won a very
close game from Providence and
Wilkes-Barre had no trouble in batting
out a victory from the Canadians.

Our Farmers will Profit.

Estimates made by the Government sta
tisticians of the United States and Aus
tra-Hungary place the deficiency in the
worlds wheat supply for this year at 202,-
100000 bushels. The total crop of last
year fell 13O,O00,000 bushels short of the
average, SO the net deficiency of the two
years aggregates 332, 100000, or more
than one-sixth of a normal years supply.
This is sufficient to account for the ad-
vance in prices, when taken in connection
with the fact that the consuming popula-
ton is constantly increasing. Reports
from the wheat exporting countries of
the Southern Hemisphere promise good
average yield from the next harvest, but
the outlook for next years American win
ter wheat is bad enough to more than bal
ance the good promise of Australia and
Argentina. On the whole, the outlook Is
for no better supply next year than this,
including India.-Pittsburg Dispatch. >

Mckinley and 25-Cent Wheat,

The free silverites last year made sum
dry bold statements about a contracted
currency; that there was not enough mon
ey In the country with which to do busi-
ness, and that the only way out of it was
by the adoption of the free and unlimited
coinag ge scheme, This would fix things up
all right, but unless adopted, many terri
Bile things would happen; wheat would
drop to 25 cents a bushel, mortgages
would be foreclosed, men could find no
employment, and general gloom would
settle over the country, such as had never
been seen before. 1t will be remembered,
however, that the free coinage proposition
was not adopted by the voters of the coun-
try, and yet in spite Of this fact the cifcu-
lation Of the country within a year has
increased nearly 500, 900, wheat has
gone up to the dollar mark, mortgages are
being rapidly paid off, men are employed
everywhere, and the only gloom observa-
BILE in the country comes from the fac
tory smoke.

The Democratic newspapers are bewail-

month of the Dingley law was over three

ably did not notice that the deficit of the
second month of the Wilson law was over
$13 100000.

Compares the .!Two:Laws.

The American xEconomist con tains an
instructive comparison between the first
two months Of the Wilson tariff and the
'Dingley tariff. The figures show that dur
ing the first month of its operation, Sep
tember, 1894, the Wilson bill yielded a
revenue of$22, ,621 ,229 and,during the sec.
ond months$19, ,139, ,24O. The Dingley bill
produced $19,023, ,615 during the first
month of it's opera ton and $21, ,933, ,09S
during the second. The point Of contrast
is that while the Wilson bill showed a
large falling off in the second month the
Dingley bill shows large gain and 81
f93, 1853 more than the total revenue re
ceived during the second month of the
Wilson bill. From another point of view,
covering expenditures as well as receipts
the deficit during the first month of the
Dingley bill was nearly ST 100000 greater
than during the first month of the Wilson
bill, while in the second month of the
Dingley bill the deficit was over $40 0,0O0,-
600 less than in the second month Of the
Wilson bill. The Wilson bill deficit grew
as the bill got older and continued to in
crease, while the Dingley bill deficit was
81 ,0Q0, 900 less in the second month than
inttthe first, showing the superiority of
the Dingley bill asa producer Of revenue,
while as producer of prosperity there is
no room for comparison. The Wilson bill
destroyed prosperity, while the Dingley
bill is restoring it.

Probably an Oversight,

About the only wild yagary that the
Chicago platform did not indorse and
adopt was the single land tax, and it looks
now as If that might go in the next ma
tional Democratic platform. The truth
is, there is not much else left for the par
ty. The tariff question is settled for
many years to come, free silver will never
figure in another national election, "gov-
ernment by injunction" is too thin for a
national issue, SO what is the poor old
Democracy to do? John G. Shanklin,
Democratic national committeeman from
this State, has been a pronounced advo-
cate Of the single land tax for years, and
a few days ago he said to an interviewer:

Dingley Law.Doing spIendidly.

+. A. good deal has been said in the Demo-
cratic newspapers, and more particular
ly in the mugwump free; trade papers,
about the failure Of the ~Ding1eY bill to
produce sufficient revenue. They were
not willing to wait until the bill had been
fairly tried and until the stock of import
ed goods had: been exhausted, but began
as soon as the bill went into effect to COM
plain that it was not a revenue getter.
They utterly ignored the. fact that in an
ticipation Of it the country had been flood
ed with imported goods and that conse-
qnently inportations fell off as soon as
thesnew faw. went into effect:
. The Wilson law was declared on its
face to be revenue getter purely, and
it's advocates asserted that it was tariff
for revenue only, 1t went into effect in
September, 1894. In its first month the
receipts were 500, ,621, ,229 In October, the
second month, the receipts were $19, 1885,
24O. The total receipts for the first two
months were SAL, ,760, ,469. The Dingley
bill was in operation two months on the
1st of October. In.August the receipts
were SIG, ,023,6 ,615, and in September $21,-
933, ,O96, the total for the first two months
of the new law being $40,956, ,713, or less
than a million below the receipts Of the
first two months of the Wilson law.
Here is another way Of putting it. In
the first month of the Wilson law the de-
fciency was $7,7O5, 100; in the second
month, $13, ,573 800; the total deficiency
in the first two months being $21 ,275, 600.
Under the Dingley bill in the first month
the deficiency was $14, ,564, ,432 and in the
second month, September last, $3,435,71
the total for the two months being $1S,-
600, $780, therefore sthe deficiency in the
first two months under the Wilson law
was over 100000 greater than in the
first two months of the present law. Put
ting these results in tabular form we fur
nish the following statistics:
