Cannot be Evaded.

1t is coming to be recognized very
plainly that there can be no evasion
of the tariff issue by the Republican
managers in the campaign which is
about to open. The trusts can he
reached only through the tariff. This
has been demonstrated by the utter
failure of President Roosevelt's we'll
intentioned- effort in case OF the beef
trust. And when the trust tariff is
assailed there must come break all
along the line.-Boston Post.

Morals and Honesty.


sounded a note that rang true
when he urged higher mora, stand
ard for the nation. The lack Of NOR
ais and honesty is becoming a menace
to the welfare of the country, and the
lack is greatest in men in high places.
The man working for wages, or tho
man who is in business on moderate
scale must keep faith and be honest
or he will be denounced and ruined,
but those engaged in politics and in
gigantic enterprises seem to be with
out regard for principle. Railroads
are wrecked, investors are gulled into
putting money into enterprises only
to lose 1t through manipulation Of
the stock by those on the inside, and
men in office enrich themselves with
out any thought of their duty to the
public.
These things are so, and their ex-
istence is deadly. The rising genera
tion is taught by precept and example
to get rich, no matter how. 1t is
appalling to think what such prac-
tees will lead to in few years.
Mr.. Bryan's remarks are not at all
radical, and they should make us as a
nation pause and consider The en-
actment of laws against various Of
fenses is useless unless people are
educated to cease committing crimes.
Men in high places should be educat-
ed to a realization that honesty and
fairness are imperative.-Toledo Bee.
First Object Lesson.
The tinplate trust has given an in
teresting object lesson in trust meth
DDS.
Recently it asked its employees to ac-
cept a reduction in wages in order that
1t might secure a large contract from
the Standard Oil company, which i'm
ports its tinplate from Wales. The
workers have refused to accept the re-
duction and in retaliation the trust has
closed several of it's tin mills.
Only about one-sixth of the tinplate
used in this country is imported, and
a great deal is exported from here. The
bulk of it is sold at a price consider
ably lower than that charged in the
United States. Yet the trust asked all
its employees to accept a reduction in
wages that it might sell to the Standard
Oil company as low as the Welsh man
ufacturers. lit would not sell cheap to
any other customer; It's product would
remain at the same price elsewhere,
and all Of 1t would be turned out at a
less cost. 1t was clever scheme to
steal a goodly slice of the mems
wages.
The trust could sell to the Standard
at lower price just as easily as it
can sell lower abroad. 1t is making
an exorbitant profit as, it .is,-Toledo

WRITTEN FOR THE SCNDAY REPUBLIC.
A record OF the campaign for the month
Of July in the American League shows that
the Browns have made the most rapid
strides of any of the four teams that are
striving for the pensant this year. A month
ago they are fighting desperately to stay
in second place and they have been sue
cessful. The hotly contested race be-
tween the four teams makes any position
insecure these days, but at no time have
the Browns had better prospects.
How the White Stockings have managed
to Htay at the top is a nine-day wunder.
When the Western division clubs were
playing in the East last month Boston was
held down by Cleveland. The Browns were
coming strong. but at Boston struck a
snag and stopped. Then the Browns went
10 Philadelphia and checked the Athletics.
An that time Chicago was losing oftener

ton In the fortunes Of the other three eom-
peritors.
Everything points 10 a strong finish by
She Browns and the schedule il all In their
favor. The team is hitting well. Burkeft

with him going at q good ace. the othern
have nrRced up. Wallace at present, leads

Boston and ST. Louis would fight it out for
the flag. The Browns fear Collins's team
more than they do any other In the league
and certainly the Hubbites seem TO outclass
the champions on the strength Of their
performances here. Boston gave Chicago a
hard run last season. and Collins has great
Cy Young. Hill and Dineen, the Boston
pitching department is one Of the most
formidable in The league
Dougherty is one of the most promising
ouIfieIders that has been developed in many
a day. His case is something on a parallel
with Jesse Burketts-, When Burkett was
picked up by Pat Teheau in Cleveland he
was one of the poorest Uuttisid performers
In the National League For that matter
ne never was a great fielder. but he is a
natural hitter.
Tebeau realized that Burkett could be de-
veloped into z good fielder and he knew that
Burkett had the making of a great hitter in
his natural batting ability. So he set 20
work TO bring out the besr there was in his
new man. Burkett al that time was not
thought much of a player, but by earnest
effort he developed the art of scientific
hitting and at the same time improved mis-
work in the field. This trGininc enabled
him to lead the National League IN batting
for two seasons.
Dougherty's case is similar. He has a
bad fielding record and muffs many a fly
ball, but he is q natural hitter. When Hick-
mar was traded 10 Cleveland. DousherTy
was taken OF the bench and IN a short time
led the Boston team in hitting and is still
