OBSTACLES THAT
YANKEES MUST MEET

NEW YORK. September 13.-With the
departure of the Highlanders on their
western tour last night begins the last
stage Of one Of the closest pennant races
in the history OF base ball. AS the strug-
gle now stands It hes only between Grit
fiths hilitoppers and the Chicago White
Sox. with a difference of only eight points
in favor of the former. In spite of these
figures, however. which give them a chance
for the flag. the advantage really lies with
the Chicagoans on the makeup Of the re-
mainder of the schedule. Each nine has
twenty-six games yet to play, six of those
for New York and four of those for Chi
cago being postponed games from earlier
in the season.
The Yankees. however, are going into the
enemy's country, and will play all their
games away from home, while Chicago
will be on Its own diamond for all but
five games in st. Louis, in the first week
of October A slump ON either side at any
time from this date until the close of the
season on October probably would mean
the pennant for the other side. In the face
of all the obstacles that the Yankees must
encounter from now on, they will be en-
titled to all the credit possible if they over
come them and return home champions of
the American League. Even though they
do not finish first they will still be en-
strong stand which they have made

To refund these tariff taxes will be
an enormous saving to the home
builders of San Francisco and will
open the eyes of home builders every
where to the tax upon building
homes.
The trusts and combines have such
a firm control of the market for most
of the materials that enter into build
Ilngs that they have increased prices
fsince thestarif bill was,eHacted fully
40 per cent. on the average, and
there is but little opportunity for
competition to keep them within rea-
sonable bounds. The materials that
enter into building are, in relation
toit, raw materials, just as much as
pig iron is to finished stove. The
question to be considered by voters
in electing the next Congress is
whether they will vote to reduce the
tariff rates enough to induce foreign
competition, unless the trusts and
combines lower their prices to the
level to prevent the foreign goods
70
from coming in and underseling
them. If the tariff on building ma
terials and other necessities were
necessary to protect American work
men, employed at good living wages,
the tariff taxpayers-and that is
everybody would, perhaps, bear it
patiently until the plundering system
could be revised for the benefit of all
alike. But the tariff increased price
paid by the American people should
only be enough more than the Euro
rean prices to cover the difference
between wages there and here. The
transportation charges alone on such
heavy materials are enough protec-
ti0n in themselves.
The high cost of building material
has so increased the cost of homes
that rents have advanced about Is
per cent. The farmer who builds a
new house, or barn, is compelled to
lay about 40 per cent. more for the
materials, so the increased money in
vested is clear loss to him and the
interest on the same is virtually a
yearly rent charge for living in his
own home.
There is no reason why this tariff
tax on building materials should he
continued for the government collec-
tion from this source is less than 2
per cent. of the federal revenue. The
standpat argument that protection is
needed to protect American labor, is,
according to their own theories. not
| =. 'V
applicable to building materials which
are raw material to be manufactured
by the workmen into buildings. The
only reason. therefore, for this tariff
protection is to enable the trusts to
extort enormous profits from every
family, either in the form of increased
rent, or as tax upon homes.
The natural desire of every one il
to own their own home, but the Re-
publican plan of protecting the trusts
and combines decreases the opportuni.

people from ever being home owners

The home is the pedestal upon
which Democratic institutions must
rest and to tax the home unnecessar-
lily is to clog the evolution of the
Commonwealth to its highest develop
ment. so let us have free homes not
only in San Francisco, but every
where, and not tax the many for the
benefit of the few.

HELP SAN
FRANCISCO.

| 1t is proposed by the Democrats to
abate the tariff tax on building ma
terial for San Francisco while that
city is being rebuilt. Int the Repub-
lican Standpatters are secretly oppos-
| ing it, as it viii call attention to the
iniquities of the present tariff law,
which fosters trusts and combines
and protects them in obtaining and
continuing present high prices. The
Democrats in Congress will unite in
voting for rebating the duties paid
on all building material used in the
stricken city and would welcome a
decrease of the tariff rates paid by
the whole country.
The tariff on steel, glass, nails and
lumber is all protective of the com
bines that aim to control the price
and avoid competition. The tariff on
structural steel, etc, is from 36 per
cent. to 81 per cent. On common
window glass from 81 to ll5 per cent.
according to size, and on plate
glass from 40 to l40 per cent. On
lumber planed on one side % per cent.
and up to 80 per cent. There are
other materials that are used IN
building which pay an average per-
centage as follows

A. c. L. Railroad Will Make Improve
 menfa af n0fhan

Dothan, June 1.-(SpeciaD--Atl last it seems that Dothan Is to have a new Atlantic Coast Line Depot. This statement is made on the authority of Agent o. R. Morgan, who seems to think that there can be no doubt re- garding the company's intention in the matter. inasmuch as he has al- ready been given certain instructions in connection with disposing of prop erty which will be in the way of the new structure, and it is confidently believed here that actual work will shortly be begun.
 1t has been a long time since more gladsome tidings have been heard in Dothan. The town has hoped. pleaded small city in size that the Atlantic Coast Line would recognize the fact that 1t was no longer a country vil- lage, and would provide depot facili- ties commensurate with the commercial importance of Houston county's capi- tai.
 Full details regarding the new de- pot have not yet been given out, and little is known of the plans. except that the building will be imposing in both size and appearance.
 Work has been begun on the reno vations which will be made on the building of the Dothan National Bank. and big force of workmen is en- gagged. The contemplated improve ments. which will cost in the neigh borhood of s20.ooo. will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible In the meantime the institution Is doing business in the stand formerly oc- cupied by Mays meat market.
 Work is also being rushed on the M. Cherry three story concrete building on Main Street. The Advertiser cor respondent enormously stated that this building would be two stories in height. When completed 1t will be one of the handsomest structures in Dothan.
 A big crowd of Dothanites Is in at- tendance upon the excursion festivi- ties in Tampa. Somewhere between four hundred and five hundred persons went from Dothan, and a great many others from the little towns surround ing this place. Most of them will re- turn todav ar tomorrow
