Summit Point, 10; BerryVille, 8.

A very-much patched-up and
becrippled team represented Berry
vile at Summit Point last Satur-
day, and the result was almost a
foregone conclusion.
Burchell, Young and the Small
wood brothers were unable to go,
Reynolds was suffering from a
Charley horse" leg, Bell had a
sprained finger, and old inability
to hit" completed the rout.
Alfred Kerfoot and Frank Rey-
nolds pitched very good ball for
the locals, but errors were numer-
Gus.
Custer, who occupied the box
for Summit Point, pitched good
heady game. and was well support
ed in all but one inning.
The Summit Point team is good
one, and was reinforced by our
OIL friend Osmer Swanson, of
Winchester.
The game was called at the
eighth inning, in order to give the
Berryville team a chance to escape
the rain-which they didn't.
The victory for Summit Point
which was foregone conclusion
with the battered team presented
by Berryville-was not as pro-
nounced as the score would indi-
cate.
The same teams will play at
Berryville in a short time, and the
home team will take ample revenge
for Saturdays fiasco, rs the Small
wood brothers, Burchell and Young
will be in the game, and the Grip
Piles will have recovered by that
time.

Tariff for Revenue.

Ihere Is no crop raised In the
Southern States that is protected
by the tariff from foreign compe-
tltion, except a little sugar and
rice. There is a tariff tax on
tobacco, but it does not protect the
grower, for like wheat and corn.
the price is fixed by the export de-
mand, there being a surPlas 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 exported
will bring Cotton, the money crop
of the South, is on the free list and
there is absolute free trade in that
staple.
But everything the Southern
planter buys is protected by the
tariff and is taxed from % to 175
per cent, which prevents most
people from buying the imported
goods on account of this tariff tax
being added 20 the price the i'm
ported goods cost abroad. The
trusts and combines that manufac-
ture similar goods here take ad-
vantage of this tariff taxation and
add to the profits they charge for
their products nearly what the
tariff tax would be on the imported
articles over and above what would
be 4 fair profit. So the American
consumer, be he planter, or who
ever hc Is, l. compelled TO pay the
trusts and corporations pretty
nearly the same tax that would be
paid on the imported 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 rep
resent them in Congress, the voters
must have been led TO believe that
the protective tariff was an advan-
tage to them and that trust high
prices were a blessing in disguise.
But with wheat, corn, tobacco and
cattle all protected 10y the tariff
and yet selling at low price, while
cotton entirely unprotected selling
at fairly good price, the Repub-
lican argument that the tariff pro
tects the planter and farmer is
shown TO be but campaign talk and
not borne out by actual conditions.
The ideal condition for the planter
and farmer Is TO have the unob-
structed 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 far revenue only, to produce
enough money to run the govern
ment, when honestly and econom-
ically administered.
