MGR PRICES BUr NoPROsPERITY.

One OF the we'll known adjuncts of
prosperity are rising prices; although
high prices do not always mean pros
perity. but sometimes the reverse. 1t
depends altogether on whether these
prices are natural or artificial. High
tariff creates high prices, but they are
artificial and mean restricted markets,
cover production" reduced wages,
stagnation, hard times and panic. High
prices that are not artificial mean
abundant money, which means pros
perity.
The present administration will go
down in history as the creator of an
era Of high prices and scarce money.
When both living and money are dear,
the times are doubly hard and during
such times, heaven help the poor.
These are the conditions most condu-
Give TO the growth Of trusts and i'm
poverishment Of the producers of
wealth.
High prices that are the result Of
limiting production mean low wages,
for as the opportunities for limiting
production are increased so also are
the opportunities for controlling the
price Of labor increased. The Dingley
bills high wall of protection will shut
the consumer out from the benefits Of
the worlds markets and confne him
to a home market constantly narrowed
by the operations of the trusts which
are fostered by the bill
The prohibitive duties levied by the
bill will decrease revenues from i'm
ports to the point Of forcing upon Con-
gress the necessity of enlagging the
list Of articles upon which are now
imposed i1tsfnsi revenue taxes. This
means ths increase Of the price Of all
commGafties of prime necessity with
out my compensating increase in the
pEy of farm products Internal rev.
enue taxes do not benefit the producers
of raw materials On the contrary,
they raise the prices Of the manufac-
tured article which the producer has
to buy. The farmer, therefore, will
have double burdens Of taxation placed
upon him without enjoying any of the
benefits of high prices which the bill
will produce.
And the farmer, the artisan and the
laborer will alike share the hardships
Of the scarcity Of money which is be-
ing enhanced by the conduct Of the
Treasury at washington. In other
words. the first five months Of the Nc
Kinley administration present the
grewsome prospect Of unnaturally high
prices for a period of four years with
a constantly contracting currency.
Such a combination of atrocities was
never before imposed upon free peo-
pie. And over it all there is the con-
seriousness that under this anomalous
condition of affairs must ensue great
err prosperity to the trusts than was
ever enjoyed by those concerns.
Patriotism and firm faith in the
strength Of American institutions fur
nish the only hope Of meeting the
difficulties ahead of the nation and of
the ultimate triumph of a free govern
ment whose benefits are equally dis
tributed.

Not only the trusts, but the willy i'm
porters will make a big stake off the
new tariff. Millions and millions of
dollars worth Of goods have been inn
ported in advance Of the new duties
on speculation. and all the enormous
duties Of the new tariff will be added to
the price when that measure goes into
effect. and will be collected from the
people This viii be so much add
tional and clear profit to the importers
on the stocks they now have on hand.
In the past two days over three mil
lions Of dollars worth Of goods have
been taken out OF bond in New York,
and the custom houses are now clear,
and will remain clear for a long time,
for it is little foreign trading we will
do under the prohibitory Dingley tar
if.
The new measure Is a bonanza to
everybody bur the people. the Ameri-
can consumers. They will foot the
bill.

BASE BALL BRIEFS.


All the fans" are pleased with the
work of the home team at present.
The article Of ball played yesterday
by Wheeling would win nine out OF
ten games. The club is stronger than
at any time during the season, and
with injured players back in the game,
will strike winning streak.
Pitcher Claud Coyle let the game
get away from Wheeling at Fort
Wayne yesterday. BY the way, this
same Claudius was the lad who pro-
posed to make monkeys OF the Toledo
players in last Sundays game here in
Toledo.-Toledo Blade.
Kiddicus keenan, has not lost game
to Youngstown in two years.
This is ladies day, and the Wheeling
fair will be well represented.
The Youngstown Vindicator strikes
the nail squarely on the head when it
terms keenan, and Arthur the kicking
battery" Either one of them clearly
outclasses "Broncho Jack" Darrah.
Lyons has been made captain Of the
Youngstown team.
All Interstate fans" are anxiously
awaiting news of the first game In
which Hickman will officiate in the
box for Boston. 1t is the general be-
lief that he will hold his own IN the
National League.
Youngstown would like to get Tay-
lor, but if Little Billee does not play in
Wheeling Ii is likely he will not play
anywhere.
A Wheeling pitcher was fined IS for
stupid base running in Fort Wayne
with the promise that the fine would be
RENTED if he won his next game. He
failed 10 win.
Pitcher Herbrand asked Mansfield
for a trial in the box. Mr.. .Know-it-all
Strouthers diclined. He then applied
to Springfield. Whistler thought well
Of him, and put him in against Mans
field Wednesday. He not only defeat
ed Mansfield, but shut the team out.
and established the pitching record OF
the season in the Interstate.
In Herbrand, Pool and Madden
Springfield has a trio of twirlers who
are pitching as effectively as any in
the league.
If confidence will win games, Spring
field will never lose.
Jack Easton umpired better ball than
any umpire who has been here this
season, and that isn't making him
Lynch or a Hurst Mansfield Shield.
Jack must have braced UP line or
two.
