Boston, Nov 1.-The following address was mace
public tonight by Albert Clarke, secretary or the
Home Market Club;
To the People Of the United States:
Having read address in favor of taking inn
bV the presidents Of the National Association of
Manufacturers, the National Foreign Commerce
League, the undersigned respectfully invite atten-
tion to the following considerations; -,
are, undoubtedly. many good protectionists in tho
traders, tariff reformers and believers in reciproc-
ty OF political chardeteI' ana h Ina eo 1s
which seek advantages that would not be common
Woutd SG Of thnir No further proof that
the movement is of sectional or a class and not
a national character is needed than to state
that the long established and undoubtedly pro-
tective organizations represented by the under
signed. though having more members and stanang @
fdF larger interests than those apove nameu naNo
not consulted In respect to the revision pro
posed and that the evident purpose or the scheme
is TO promote foreign trade rather than domestic
We forbear to characterize the assumption that
the protective sentiment of the country Is wholly
1I t6e Natonal Association of Manufacturers but
since the claim is based upon the action OF Its
meeting held in New York last May, II Is suit-
cient TO state that the mgeting was attended by
resolutions were adopted when only about twenty
fve Were present As that NJ association contains
this country, and as a canvass made just pre-
its members a recommendation for revision, It is
not clear upon what ground it's president claims
that the action taken In New York reflects tho
general desire of business men everywhere re-
gardesS Of party
We consider il an unjust reflection upon Con-
gress to intimate that it lacks the knowledge or
10 the proper construction Of a tariff and have
no doubt that be found in the customs
service in the Department of Commerce and
Labor and in the walks of trade who offer
ali needfuI information to classihcations
and other technical changes.
In behalf of industrial stability we solemnly
protest against forcing revision inopportunely by
the assumption, which We denounce as false, that
the need for 1t has become pressing; and chal-
Ienge revsionsts TO become definite and to specify
anV considerable number OF for IL which
did not exist even year after the present tariff
was enacted, or which will not probably exist
year after the next revision takes place
We speak wholly from the standpoint of busi-
With the question of political eXpedIency
we have nothing to do, except TO suggest to our
public men that what is good for business ought
10 be good for politics and vice versa. The re-
cent troubles, growing out of other causes. ought
10 give warning against taking any step that will
further endanger prosperity and especially against
a step which in the past has always been attended
bv business disturbance,

MANY CHARTER IDEAS.
board Of Education Members to
offer Suggestions.

livery member of the Board of Education. as
well as Superintendent Maxwell and the associate
super eIiii'ehdehts has pronounced ideas on how the
euucatlonal chapter Of the city charter could be
improved. Few of them however we're willing
Yesterday to discuss proposed changes made at the
hearing held by the Charter Revision Commission
on thursday. They do not want to commit them
selves at this time, the board is to take I'D the
matter and will in all probability offer suggestions
10 the commission. These suggestions will oriei-
nate with the committee bylaws which will
present them to the board for approval
Fgerton !" Winthrop, jr.. president of the board
said he had some strong opinions to revisions
nut dld not feel at liberty to discuss ideas in
advance of action by the full board
Ihere Is just one thing would like to say de-
ciared superintendent Maxwell. ut is that
sider the most important thing in connection with
the revision of the educational chapter of the char
ter is the preservation of the merit system of ap-
pointing teachers. To say more at this time would
he improper for me empoye OF the board
which Is to take up the subject"
Abraham Stern, member Of the board for years
said he thought the most important thing that
should be embodied in tho revised charter
provision determining the exact status all teach
ers' licenses granted prior to consolidation.
Women should not be in the board" said Mr.
Stern, referring TO the suggestion that the appoint
ment or election of women members he made
mandatory. Women not adapted to the work
AS rule. they do not possess the necessary busi-
ness qualifications"
Mr.. Stern thinks the board is too unweldy and
that the number of members should be cut in two.
In a body of forty-six' he said. you will always
find who always want to delay the busi-
ness The members of large board cannot be
in such close touch those in a smaller body
In the opinion of Mr.. Stern the local school
boards are useless. and should be abolished. They
have power ne said. "An they do is to
make recommendations. All the things they try TO
perform should be done by the district superin-
tendcnts. who are paid for that purpose

level of l. cents, reached week or ten days ago.
There has been general and heavy buying, but
chiefly bv foreign consumers. Domestic manu-
factuTers have continued buy sparingly. They
are now IN the market. however, looking Tor some

B. R. [. NEXT In LINE.
L. s. c. to Begin Inquiry of Com
PAM Thursday.

The investigation into the affairs of the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company by the Public Ser
vice Commission has reached a stage of ad-
Vancement which demands the personal atten-
ton of William NJ. WINS, special counsel to the
commission in the general traction investigation.
Mr.. WINS will spend all of to-day and probably
all Of Monday in Brooklyn going over books and
records of the company with his accountants.
When the hearings taken up Thursday
there is little doubt that the probe will be
turned to the Brooklyn transit situation.
a letter was received by the commission from
Messrs Joline and Robinson. receivers for the
New York City Railway system. yesterday, in
which they said that the order for an increase of
service the Fourth and Madison avenue line
would be complied with. This order. which
stipulated the number of cars to be run at GER
tain specified periods of time. provided in gen
eral for an increase of 20 per cent in the SER
vice. at the evening rush hours. It went
into effect yesterday.
John Beaver. president of the 42d street Man
hattanvile and st. Nicholas avenue line. whose
cars run down Broadway to Houston street,
sent a similar letter to the commission prom
Using compliance with the recent order that at
least % per cent of the company's cars be con-
tinued down Broadway far Murray street
Both these affairs, OF course, come within the
sway of the receivers for the New York City
Railway system, and their prompt compliance
with these orders has removed a certain degree
Of apprehension which existed at the time the
receivers were appointed that they might con-
test any orders issued by the commission and
possibly come to an open rupture with that
body
E. w. Boomingdale, honorary president Of
the Retail Merchants Association. called on
Chairman Wilcox yesterday and held long
conference with him on the regulation of ve-
jects in which he personally and the association
were interested.
a i. BlaCkmar. counsel to the commission,
presented an opinion yesterday regarding the
removal of wall in the subway station at
Wall street \ dispute regarding this wall
| ragged between the Rapid Transit Commission
and the Potter estate. which owns the Empire
Building. to which this especial wall apper-
tains- Mr.. Blackmar said that the station at
present was large enough for the demands OF
traffic but that when the Brooklyn subway was
opened more room would be needed. and this
wall then would be in the way. lie advised
that a stipulation be entered into that the wall
! be not torn down without five days notice TO
the Empire Building people. lie was author
lied TO make such agreement.
The hearing the service rendered by the
| Coney Island & Brooklyn Railway Company be-
tween Park Circle and Kings Highway and

judgment Judge Fawcett said:
THE court feels that you have relied upon
the strength of your position through the nat

upon the circumstance. I denounce this ap-
parent attitude your part one OF the ele-
ments in corporation affairs Of to-day which is
doing much to create popular unrest and anger
and which tends toward unsettling our system
