THE PENALTY OF MUSIC.
Players Who Are Forced TO Quit Re-
cause of Deafness


"Few realize how many musicians
are obliged to so out of the business
on account of Deafness" said nm old
musician to n reporter. "only few of
the thousands of players In the coun-
try become famous. The great mass
of them plod along day after day in the
same old path. When one of us drops
out, no one cares to inquire why, but
many times the reason Is deafness and
nothing else.
Loss of hearing is particularly the
atlliction of those who play brass In
struments. A cornetlst who has play
ed In Kansas City orchestras for many
years has stopped playing now be-
cause he Is losing his faculty OF hear
Ing. He went out of the business be-
fore 1t was too late. Many of the old
players hang TO their instruments until
the loudest strains of an orchestra or
clamor of n band sounds to them like n
mere hum, Then they are forced TO
stop, Their usefulness is gone.
"The musicians deafness Is undoubt.
edly caused by the injurious effects of
the constant vibration of musical notes
upon the delicate machinery of the ear.
A man who blows cornet or u from
bone or n horn of any kind for several
hours will notice n queer buzZlng In his
ears, When the playing is kept up ev.
cry day in the week and every week In
the year for n long number of years,
It's no wonder that deafness comes.
Some musicians play without effort.
Their skill Is natural. They pour out
music as free as breath. But the skill
of others Is acquired only by hard and
constant labor. In addition TO their
regular playing in band or orchestra
they must practice industrlously sever.
nj hours every day. And these are the
ones who lose their hearing and drop
out of sight unnoticed." Kansas City

ing n Uniform Prosperity.
Mr.. w. Il. Osborne of Ansonia, Conn,
and representative business man of
that city, testlfies in no uncertain terms
in respect to the magnitude and the
substantially of the prosperity which
reigns throughout the Naugatuck val
ley. He says, 'The volume of business
throughout the valley is larger than 1t
ever was, and the outlook for its get
ting even better is first class"
In his enthusiasm he goes even q
step further and says. Actually
think our district Is the busiest one in
tho United States" 1t isn't strange
that Mr.. Osborne has this idea. There
are doubtless men In every section OF
the country who would say the same
of the sections in which they live. The
fact Is that each one knows that his
section has never before seen anything
like its present prosperity, and each
man Is too occupied in attending to the
insistent demands of his ever increas-
ing business to have any time TO look
SO critically at the business conditions
in the rest of the country as to see,
what Is the case, that all the rest of
the country is having just the same ex-
perience that his section Is having and
that his section is no marvel, no eN-
ception, Is not even In any way unusu-
al In that IL is enjoying Il measure of
prosperity never enjoyed before. Pro
lection is n great leveler. 1t levels up
instead of down, though. and 1t has In
these years of grace since the passage
of the Dingley law leveled the whole
country up to plane of marvellous
prosperity never before reached.

AS further evidence of the tremen-
dous development Of this business. an
other underwear johber recently told
the writer that he had 800 numbers
of underwear, with stock of ench. 1t
Is believed that all or nearly nil of
this vast collection was of American
manufacture. Contrast for moment
the scanty supply of 40 years ago with
The opulent offerings of the present,
the coarseness and crudity of the goods
then provided for people of slender
means with the sound quality, good
workmanship and elegance of the pop
ular" grades now shown, and say
whether this great expansion of an In
dustry has or has net been to the adj
vantage Of the whole people.
Suppose the narrow policy had pre-
vailed America TO produce the raw ma
terial and Europe TO manufacture 1t.
leaving us dependent upon foreign
countries for such supplies down TO the
present time, Is It reasonable TO imag-
Inc that the variety and chcapness now
enjoyed would have been equaled? Not
Mt all. The logic of trade Is the other
way. With no dangerous competition
here prices would have continued to be
fixed for us In Europe, and with so
vast market to supply there would
have been little incentive 10 improve
the product.
With 1000 factories scattered all
over the country, buying American
wool ana American cotton, paying
wages into thousands of American
homes and contending with American
ingenuity and energy for American
trade, we are better and more cheaply
clad than was dreamed of generation
ago Americans tried for decades to
accomplish this without the tariff, and
the path of their heroic struggles was
Using enterprises, ruined by foreign
competition, which would lower prices
to the killing point when necessary and
raise them again when the field had
been cleared of American opponents.

FREE TRADE REMEDY.
Would Have lis Hurn Down the

Would Have lis Burn Down the
House Instead of Repairing II.
Tho Boston Herald thinks that the
proper remedy for all the discussion
and difference of opinion In reference
to tho Porto Rlcan tariff and matters
of like nature Is sweeping tariff en-
nctment which shall drive every YES
tige of protection out of our fiscal sys-
! tenn" The adoption of the remedy
proposed by Tho Herald would be
about as sensible as It would be for n
man TO burn down his house rather
than keep It in repair. Undoubtedly the
sweeping out of every yestge of pro-
lection would put an end for the time
being to all discussion Of the Porto
Rlcan tariff.
The people of the country would
have enough to think about In the
midst OF the want and distress which
such n measure would entail In consld-
ering how soonest to put the protective
tariff law back on our statute books
and thus bring back TO themselves the
old days Of prosperity. They would not
have any thought for Porto Rican af-
fairs or for any other matter until they
had recovered back the necessities and
comforts of life which they have had
always and only under n protective
tariff.
The words of The Herald are chiefly
interesting, however, MS showing the
temper of the free traders. 1t Is mani
festly their Intention to take advantage
of every discussion, to seize every OPP
portunity to advance the interests of
free trade nad to urge return to that
industry destroying policy. 1t behooves
the protectIonists, therefore. TO be cter-
nally vlgIlant and to resist vigorously
every attack, however slight, upon the
system on which the prosperity of the
American people depends.
