BALTIMORE, MD. August 31.-The
third days racing at Pimlico furnished
the best sport seen here for some
time. While the fields were small in
one or two events, what they lacked
In numbers they made up in exciting
finishes. The last race, a steeple-
chase, was decidedly the feature from
a spectacular point of view. for, while
but three horses came to the post the
race was exciting from start to finish.
Flying Virginian was picked to win
and well played in the books. Al
though there was quite a little money
on Captain Hayes by the local hunt
ing set, Hayes got off in the lead, with
Tavannes second and the favorite
last. AT the third jump Tavannes fell
and Flying Virginian gradually closed
on Hayes and at the Liverpool passed,
taking the lead by two lengths
This he kept to the last half, where
Savage brought Captain Hayes we'll up
and he looked like a winner half way
down the stretch. when Virsinian again
pulled away, winning easily. Savage
put up fine ride on Captain Hayes,
but the local horse tired badly in the
last eighth.
Four favorites again won, the best
bet of the day being the sixth race,
when Silly shally. heavily played at

BY his victory Colin added s27.530 to

The colt. by his victories at Saratoga

His victory to-day in the face of bad

The story may be like those told about
the conference" here in Milwaukee dur
| ing fair week, which never were held.
Probably although i is very good
story, it was invented by the enemy,
But if there ever was any basis for the
yarn and if Mr.. Hanna approached any
able contributors with his taking propo-
sition, II. H. Rogers, head of the Stand
ard Oil company, must have had visit
| from him.
For it is known that Mr.. Rogers sng
gested the little joker to the free list OF
the Dingley Jaw And this is what he
suggested, and it follows the various
kinds of oils that are to be, when import
ed, free Of duty:
Provided That if there he imported into
the United States crude petroleum or the
products of crude petroleum produced IN any
country which imposes duty on petroleum
or its products exported from the United States
there shall in such cases be levied, paid and
collected duty on said crude petroleum or
its products so imported equal to the duty inn
posed by such country
1t is said that Mr.. Rogers grins to this
day when he is asked about how petro-
leum came to be on the Dingley free
list"
There is but one country in the world
from which petroleum and its products
can be imported into the United States.
That is Russia; and the duty on petro-
leum importedinto Russia from the Unit
ed States, which is the only country
producing it in expert quantities, is from
100 to $50 per cent. Russia simply put
on prohibitive tax.
This provision Of the Dingley law
makes it impossible to import petroleum
ut all into the United States; giving the
country over to the monopoly, which
charges, always, what the trade will
stand. Milwaukee Free Press, Rep.

The Mantowoc Tribune, which seems
to rejoice in controversy rather for glad
itorial display than for the exposition Of
truth, is quite certain that 1t has the
PILOT in a corner, and that the PILOT
rested its case, fearing that it would
get knocked out in the first skrmish-'
The PILOT nevertheless, is still in the
ring and if we may say so without
seeming Churlish, we are able to cope
with the Tribune, and may be, ere the
battle is over we would make the Tri-
bune take to the woods, or jump in the
river and 'holler' fire.
Before the special election, the PILOT
protested against the acceptance of the
offer of the water works company, or re-
ferring the matter to the railroad com.
mission, and gave its reasons therefor.
The PILOT made the statement that
in nine cases out Of ten where municipal
ownership has been tried, il has proved
failure This assertion set the Tribune
bawlng and it is bawling yet for n sub
staniation Of the statement asserted
The Tribune cannot be convinced by ar
gument, but it may convince itself by a

the report of the commission, appointed
by the National Civic Federation to in.
vestigate the subject of municipal own
ership, ana also study the London system
Of public utilities, where after eighteen
years actual trial, city ownership proved
failure. After getting enlightened on
the subject the chances are nine to one
that the Tribuoe will not only swallow
the assertion Of the PILOT, but gulp it
down.
Says the Tribune The PILOT is in a
corner with this paper standing guard on
the parapet Has it come to pass that
the laborers Of Manitowoc must have for
their guard a paper of the Emma Gold
man type paper that patted Clarence

the friend Of the laborer, and breaches

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1907.

II is interesting to notice how the
American Economist the organ OF the
Protective Tariff League, and the news
papers which it quotes, deal with Mr..
Tafts views of tariff reduction. Ihey
quote him as saying the cost of produc'
ton has decreased, and moreover ID
fact wages have gone up. But that has
nothing to do with the relative cost OF
production, because the prices OF prod
ucts have also risen. A writer in the
Economist says they have risen 30 per
cent. Now if an article that formerly
cost 800 is now worth 500, ana the
labor cost was originally S2O 1t must
now cost $50; in order to maintain the
proportion. Now, it is well.known
fact that wages have not risen % per
cent. so that the labor cost is necessarily
less. Mr.. Taft was wrong, however, III
virtually admitting that the Dlngley
law was originally no more than enough
to cover the difference in labor cost here
and abroad 1t was far more than nee
