principle or method of taxation, was so slight
that either would serve as we'll the interest
of the producers who finally pay the tax.
And the difference is so insignificant that
there is nothing more than theory left.
To protect industries and make it effective
all must admit that the tariff must border
somewhere close to what might be ascribed
as prohibitive of importations of such articles
as are produced by American labor, while to
create a tariff for revenue only, is, and always
will be- indefinite as to the amount necessary
for expenses Of government, as long as con-
gress has it in it's power to appropriate and
expend moneys ad libitum.
All know that capitalism is so en-
trenched and fortified that the ''voice of the
people, no longer holds influence strong
enough to make it's behest and have it grant
ed. This voice, which was once considered
the very life and guard Of our republic, seem
ingly has been sunken into "innocuous des-
uetude," while the money power of our land
brutally ignores all which interferes with
their selfish greed, even to the substituting Of
the press and brow-beating of what are
termed courts Of justice. (9) The power Of
money is seen and felt in every department,
refuse to bow to the golden calf is scoffed
at and the callers are rdiculed and made
sport of as being "calamity howlers, insane
agitators and cranks.' Under such condi-
tions the majority Of voters refuse to
examine for themselves, preferring to stay
inside the harness fastened on them by
"party leaders," and enjoy quiet rather
than have battle royal and gain the free
dom bequeathed them by past generations Of
statesmen and patriotic founders of true
republican form of government It is
this fear Of the party lash added to the fear
Of being ridiculed, that has created the in
difference Of the great mass of our people,
and allowed the money power to almost throt-
tie the rights, if not the liberties, of the peo-
pie, and causing them to regard, without OBJ
lection being made, the enormous waste of
public moneys gathered into the treasures Of
state and nation and placed there by legisla-
ton which taxes them by and through every
system except that of cannon and sword.
''Vox populi, vox DEL" was once most
powerful coadjutor in giving the people
what they camored for; but in our day, vox
popul is so completely at war with itself,
or so easily controlled by powers that be,
that effort to call it into active effort and
make it effective for the public good is about
as ineffective and somewhat similar IN after
effect as splitting against the wind to stay
the storm.
The question of tariff is but blind through

COMISKEXtNOT WORRIED
OVER LOSS OF SMITH

CHICAGO. June 23.-'I do not know
whether Pitcher Frank Smith has gone
home or not said President Comiskey
yesterday. Il do not care much whether
he has. for If a player cannot abide by the
rules Of the club do not want him on the
team. Smith needed all the practice he
could get and unless he reported for
morning practice he could be of no use to
the team. We have plenty of good pitch
ers and II he has gone home I don't know
that he will be allowed to return. He
came back last spring and was allowed to
rejofn the team. but If he has gone this
time he may not fare so WELL"
Il don't know whether Frank Smith has
left the team" said Fielder Jones. man
ager of the White Stockings. this morning.
Furthermore, I don't care whether he
has left or not, for I do not want man
that does not take an interest in the
team
When Smith left the team last spring
Jones told him that he would have to take
more interest in his work than he rad
been doing or he would be of little use
to the team.
Smith has pitched good ball in most of
the games he has been in this spring, but
he lacked some of the essential spirit that
makes a winning pitcher. He had plenty
of speed and curves, but he was not able
to break up the hoodoo that pursued him
all spring and hence could not overcome
the seeming handicap unless he put more
ginger and life into his work.
Smith has had several tough games to
pitch this year and in most cases has lost
by one run after hard battle. The gen.
eraf impression is that he will return to
the team e~en IL he has gone as far as
to go to his home in Pittsburg. He has
had many such fits of dependency since
he has been on the team. but he always
thinks differently after he has had a day
or two to consider. His friends on the
South Side all expect to see him back with
the team in few days.
Last summer Smith quit the team in the
middle of the season when it was nghting
just as hard as at present and did not re-
join the team until 1t was in Washington.
His action at that time was similar to the
present, for he went to his home in Pitts
burg and remained there several days.

Two base ball rules which are seldom
brought to light came to the surface
within the last few days. O'Hara was
declared out at Baltimore Saturday for
changing his position in the batters box
after the pitcher had toed the slab. In
one Of the Newark-Toronto games Sun
day Catcher Carisch missed the third
strike on Brown. while Prick was on
base, and the former sprinted to first.
Capt. Sharpe refreshed Umpire Moran's
memory that there was rule to the ef-
feet that a batter was out on a third
strike, whether the ball was caught or
not, when the first base is occupied. and
Moran accepted the information with
good grace and declared Brown out.

SHOWING OF NATIONALS
ON THE WESTERN TRIP
Records of Eastern Clubs in
the West.

Notwithsta nding the fact that the Ma
tionals have won but six games out q the
twenty-five they have played since leav-
ing home, their record in batting and
fielding was so remarkable as to sub
stantiate the assertions of the friends of
the club that luck was big factor In the
poor showing.
In playing against the six clubs they
made four more base hits. and in field
ing had but one more error. In run get
ting the opposing clubs did better,
getting fourteen more runs in the
twenty-five games. A continuation OF
this sort of work will undoubtedly land
the Nationals victors many times. and
the only thing to be feared is that the
numerous defeats will have a tendency
TO dishearten the players. Manager Can
tillon is awake to the situation and has
done everything possible to keep his men
heartened and stubborn, and when things
begin to break our way the Nationals are
likely to make it very hot for the opposi-
ton.

games played on the trip closed Sunday

London with the American team, which
