Nr. Underwood declared that the
cotton schedule revision proposed by
the bill would save American consum-
ssSs $aO9, OOO. 900 year. He denied that
labor would be injured in the least by
the proposed tariff reduction.
II is upon such reckless and ignorant
assertions as this by the chairman of
the Committee on Ways and Means
that tariff legislation is to be erected!
How shall 5000, 900, 900 year be
saved" to consumers, unless present
selling prices of cotton fabrics are re.
Aueed about 80 per cent?
4 The Underwood reply would very
likely be- I'VE shall effect this saving
BY bringing in cheaper foreign fabrics
At much lower duties"
Yes; it can be done that way. But
IL would put more than half of our own
American cotton mills entirely out OF
business. It would directly affect the
wages and subsistence of more than five
million of our own people. 1t would
stop the wheels of practically all OF the
$50 cotton mills located in eleven south
srn states and now giving employment
2 10 SOC, 900 and subsistence to 100000
persons. =.
& Bot, says Mr.. Underwood, labor VIII
not be injured in the least" This Is
foolish statement, unworthy of itt
,curce. Mr.. Underwood knows better
Any intelligent man must know that a
sut of so per cent that shall reduce sell
Ing prices $2O9, 600, 900 year must car
IN with it heavy cut in wages. II
cenld not be otherwise, The southern
eetton mill men tell Mr.. Underwood
that present profit margins are so mar
row and so precarious that further
mice reductions would compel wag'
reduction. Exactly the same thing Is
:. ayue of the northern mills.
Mr.. Underwood is either wofully liz
porant or Intentionally mendacious.

STATE GRANGE BooRisHNEss.
Washington is Still Talking of tn
 Snub to Taft.

WaShingt ton, Aug. 7-The report of the Connecticut state grange to meet the president at the state fair in Sep tember is still the subject of conversa- tion whenever two or more residents of the state meet. Expressions of regret are heard on all sides at the occurrence and the hope is expressed that no con- siderable number of the members of the grange will indorse the action of their officers.
 The Washington Post printed the following on it's editorial page: ''Whatever the credit and influence that may have been possessed by the Connecticut state grange, they are lost by the action of the officers of that orga nization in notifying the directors | of the Connecticut Fair association that they will not participate in the reception to President Taft early in September because of his advocacy of reciprocity with Canada.
 That great portion of the public that has never heard of the Conneeti- cut state grange before will feel that it is being introduced to an irresponsi- ble organization which is seeking no- toriety at the expense of it's own state There may be few real farmers in notification came apparently. from ouly two men-F. sE. Duffy of West Hart ford, whose occupation is unknown and John H. Hall. who is state rail~ road commissioner and an executive officer of the concern.

Plants Schooner in Hot Race With
 the Westward.

New Bedford, Mass, Aug. S.-Mas- sive productions of the old English slversmiths were handed over the side of the schooner Irolita, owned by F.. Walter Clark of Philadelphia, and the Seneca, owned by Demarest Lloyd of Boston. and the sloop Istalena, owned by George M. Pynchon of New York, as the result of a long but interesting and at times exciting run today of the New York Yacht club fleet from Fort Pond bay at the end of Long Island to this port. The prize for small sloops had not been decided at a late hour tonight.
 It was the sloop Istalena that led the fleet over the finish line and to a nights anchorage off the New Bedford summer resort of Padanaram. It was the big schooners Elena and Westward, however. that furnished the real sport of the day, for a longer and more hotly contested race has seldom been sailed by two such large yachts, while the margin at the finish in favor of the former was only IT seconds in correct ed time. The fight between the two boats, which began last Friday at Glen Cove, now stands 3 to 1 in favor of the Elena.

GaIlaudet's Invention Almost Ready for
 Trial Flight.

There is a good prospect, it was stated Tuesday evening, that the hy dro-aeroplane which has been built by the Gallaudet Engineering company at Thamesvilie will get a trial flight this week. An expert has been here working with MT. Gallaudet on the en- zine to remedy the ignition trouble which developed when this novel type of aeroplane was taken out on the river for the first time, and it is MT. Ga1laudet's hope that he may be able to try a flight this week. The hydro plane was first taken out on the river on July 18th, but the engine trouble then prevented any flight. It is de- signed to arise from and alight on the water.
