BRATTLEBoRo's FIRST DEFEAT.
Trimmed by Keene, N. H., Q to Last
Saturday Afternoon on the Island.

The Brattleboro Athletics lost TO
Keene Saturday on the Island by n
score of o to 1, making the first defeat
of the season for Brattleboro on the
home grounds. There was every pros
pect of Brattleboro's winning up to
the eighth inning when Catcher Louie
Allen was injured by n pitched ball
thrown by Cooley. Aliens finger was
badly hurt, but he continued playing.
Cooley gave way to Ellis, but the acci-
dent seemed TO be a Jonah for Keene
got in three runs and another in the
ninth while Brattleboro was unable to
score again The speciality Of the
game was the number of fly balls
caught, 25 men or nearly half, being
retired in this manner. Riley, r. Al
len, c. Ellis, Vigneault and Arson
gathered most of them in. Long, Gee
and l.. Allen made the best showing
at the bat. Cooley and Ellis held the
visitors down to nine hits, but David,
while more freely hit, was effective at
critical times, preventing chances to
score effectually. 1t was a good game
to watch up TO the eighth, and there
was fair attendance, though not so
many as the character of the playing
deserved.

Flower Mission Day.

The following leaflet was written
some 20 wears ago by Esther 7. Housh,
then a resident of Brattleboro and now
held in tender memory throughout Yer
mont. In her own inimitable way she
expressed sweetly the beginnings OF
the national Flower Mission work:
In large southern city young woman
! lay upon her bed helpless invalid Next
TO reading her Bible her greatest comfort
twas in flowers. Loving friends remembered
her in this way, SO that seldom was her
room without something white, something
| bright, something sweet. And she was as
, fair and frail as the white roses or lilies,
and as full of Gods thoughts they.
/ Can it not be multiplied, she said, this
mission of the flowers with their mission OF
love. human and divine And ont from
that thought grew the Louisville Flower Mis-
sion. that has blessed thousands of weary
ones in the days that have followed. This
dear woman and her work became known to
the National Womans Temperance Union.
..Why cannot the good be multiplied and
reach the whole wordl" they said. And
the department of Flower Mission Of the

leader Letters from her hand-the hand

many women in every state Few OF the

Joined hands with the prison and Jail work,
and into many of these sad places the flow
ers and verses come today to tell how the
dear Lord and his children care for any
hound in body or soul. We come the 9th OF
June. because this is dear Miss Casseday
birthday and we brng-not only the fading
flowers, but the unfading love of our hearts,
and the hope of that better home where
..there shall be no more death, neither sor'
row. nor crying, neither shall there be any
more pain
Before Mrs. Housh s busy fingers had
laid down the pen this little leatiet had
been multiplied" to tens and hun
dreds of thousands, so great was the
demand for them. Jennie Casslday
was freed from pain many years ago,
vet June 8, her birthday, is observed
in the way dearest to her, by the white
ribboners throughout our entire land.

enlarged their work, distributing 100
bouquets. each with its comforting

About the time our state leg stature
was considering the new tax laws we
heard it frequently asserted that the
law was framed in the similitude OF
the Pennsylvania tax laws but we
have found by inquiry that the Penn
sylvania law is much more favorable
to the farming interests than our law.
We are assured by large and promi.
nent farmer of Chester county, Penn
sylvania, that land is assessed at. about
half it's actual value while the farmer
pays taxes on gold waches, (silver
watches are exempt) musical instru-
ments, clocks, pleasure vehicles. and
horses four years old and over. No 9TH
er stock is assessed, no farm products
are assessed.
The West Virginia farmer is taxed
upon every dollars worth of property
in his possession and the value IS
placed at its true and actual figures.
The cows sold by our farmers are as
sessed here but when they are taken
to Pennsylvania the same cows and
calves are not assessed. Our tax gath
erers are not satisfied with taxing cows
but the sucking calves, the sheep, and
the lambs, the hogs, the sucking pigs
but the bacon and lard on hand on the
first day of April.

CONTRACTORS LOSE.

A jury at Cumberland rendered a
verdict of S75 against Macarthur Bros,
Co, Wabash contractors in suit
brought by Edward Bechtol, who al
legged that the contractors caused his
saloon located at the mouth of Fifteen.

ten sion of the Wabash system 10 be
blown up with dynamite. The saloon
was on \ boat and was known al
1.-The Gray Goose. The dynamite was
exploded GA the ice fifteen feet from
the saloon which was destroyed and
Bechtol's far lily terrorized. The con-
tractors, it was known, were anxious
to get rip of the saloon on account OF
the bad influence it had on their en-
ployees and in number of cases the
saloon keepers were knocked out on
remonstrance after a hearing in court
Justice Dawson in magistrates court
gave Bechtol $40 and this WAS affirmed
by the jury after an interesting con-
test,

There is no crop raised in the South
ern states that is protected by the tar
| if from foreign competition, except q
| little sugar and rice. There is tariff
tax on tobacco, but it does not protect
the grower, for like wheat and corn,
the price is fixed by theexport demand
there being a surplus raised of all those
products, which must be sold in the
markets of the world in competition
with other countries which also raise a
surplus. The price of these products
for home consumption is therefore
largely fixed by what the surplus sx-
ported will bring. Cotton, the money
crop of the south is on the free list and
there is absolute free trade ia that
staple.
But everything the Southern planter
buys is protected by the tariff and il
taxedfrom % to l75 per cent, which
prevents most people from buying the
imported goods on account of this tar
if tax being added to the price the inn
ported goods cost abrond. The trusts
and com bines that manufacture sim
liar goods here take advantage of this
tariff taxation and add to the profits
thsy charge for their products nearly
what the tariff tax would be on tho
i ported articles over and above whs
would be fair profit. So the American
consumer, be he planter, or whoever
he be-, is compelled 10 pay the trusts
and corporations pretty nearly the same
tax that would be paid on the import
9 | goods. The difference being that
instead Of the government getting the
tax the trusts and corporations collect
it in Increased profit.
As some of the border Southern states
elected Republicans to represent them
in Congress, the voters must have been
led to believe that the protective tariff
was an advantage to them and that
trust high prices were a blessing in
disguise. But with wheat, corn, to-
bacco and cattle all protected by the
tariff and yet selling at low price,
while cotton eatirely unprotected sell
ing at fairly good price, the Republic
can argument that the tariff protects
the planter and farmer is shown to be
but campaign talk and not borne out
by actual conditions. The ideal condi-
tion for the planter and farmer 10 to
have the unobstructed right to sell in
the dearest market and buy in the
cheapest market. That can only be
brought about by the Democratic plan
Of a tariff for revenue only, to produce
enough money to run the government,
when honestly and economically adj
ministered.
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1906-04-27

Good old farmer Wilson. who by vir-
ture of the Rspu blican party, is allow
to squander large percentage OF the
public funds, confidently asserts that
there will be no more crop failures and
takes the credit to himself and his
army Of assistants in the Agricultural
Department. The farmer, however
will still pray for rain as of yore when
the droughts come and those in the
Northern states will watch for the early
frost and the chinch bug and potato
bug will still get in their deadly work
as they have from time immemorial,
in spite of all farmer Wilson may say.
q God old farmer Wilson should spur
up and reform in other ways, for he is
known to oppose railroad rate regula-
ton that one year with the other robs
the farmeraof much more than ma
lures pests.

The Republican excuses for not re-
visng the tariff at the present time
really postpones the matter indefinite
ly, unless they revise it % per cent
higher, which is the only change the
Protective Tariff League approves.
Sone Republicans want to put off re-
vision until the next session of Con-
gress; others say the next session will
b, too snort to take up the matter.
Taen the excuse will be that business
conditions must not be disturbed on
the eve of national election. After
that the Democrats will he in power,
but the Republicans will still fight
revision to repay their friends, the
trusts and combines, that have fur
nish ed campaign funds, so what re-
lief from trust high prices can you ex-
pect from the standpatters.

There is no doubt that railroad leg!s-
lation is needed worse in West Wiz
ginia than in of an adjoining sister
states. The railroads have for years
been in absolue control at Charleston,
and controlled the state officers as well
as the legislatures Their control
has been most absolute, and outra-
geous. They have by their attorneys
and agents controlled political con-
ventions setting up men whom they
could use as .subssrvient tools always
in their interest and in robbery TO the
people. Yes it is time to call a halt
on these gentlemen.
