Wilson Would Repeal All Tariff Law


Some Maine Democrats are disput-
ing that Woodrow Wilson is d free
trader Following we quote from an
address by Prof. Wilson before the
tariff board in 1882. 1t pretty clearly
Classics him at that time as in favor
of repeating all tariff laws He said:
But the danger of imposing pro-
tective duties is that when the policy
is once embarked upon it cannot be
easily receded y from. Protection is
nothing more than q bounty, and
when we dffer bounties to manufac-
turers they WIN enter into industries
and build UP interests and when at a
later day we seek to overthrow this
protective tariff we must hurt some
body and of course there is objection.
They will say, Thousands of men will
be thrown out of employment and
hundreds of people will lose their cap
ital This seems very plausible; but
/ maintain that manufacturers are
made better manufacturers whenever
they are thrown upon their own re-
sources and left to the natural eompe-
tition of trade.
'tProtection also hnders commerce
immensely The English people do
not send as many goods to this coun-
try as they would if the duties were
not so much and in that way there
is restriction of commerce and we are
building up manufactures here at the
expense of commerce. We are hold
ing ourselves aloof from foreign coun-
tries In effect and saying, We are
sufficient to ourselves. we wish to
trade, not with England, but with
each other | maintain that 1t is not
only pernicious system, but cor
rupt system. asfss
BY Commissioner Garland;
O. Are you advocating the repeal
of all tariff laws?"
A. .Of all protective tariff laws;
of establishing a tariff for revenue
merely. 1t seems to me very absurd
to maintain that we shall have free
trade between different portions of
this country and at the same time
shut ourselves out from free commu-
nication with other producing coun-
tries of the world. If ii is necessary
to impose restrictive duties on goods
brought from abroad it would seem to
me as a matter of logic, necessary to
impose similar restrictions on goods
taken from one state of this Union to
another. That follows as a necessary
consequence; there is no escape from
it."
BY this logic Mr.. Wilson would of
course argue that nations have no
each other and govern themselves as
they see fit; that members of families
should extend the same favors to
strangers as TO each other; that the
claims Of the "scum of the earth to
which he has unhappily referred, are
just as strong upon us as the claims
of our dearest frieAds. u
Mr.. wilson, in his narrow partisan
ship. repYdiates. the magnificent prin-
ciple of union He thinks we have nc
right 10 build up trade rights in oui
own vast domain which the worlc
does not share. He would level the
standing and the returns of the en-
ergetic and industrious to those of the
indolent and improvident. He would
have Americans live as do the am
bitionless fordes of the old worlds
filthy and disease breeding moral fe'
yer spots-because we have not the
right to cultivate our own enterprises
and refuse to share them with thu
cheap labor of other countries.

JOHNSON GREATEST PITCHER
OPINES NEW YORK CRITIC
Predicts Nationals Star Will Make Great
Record This Season-What He
Has Done to Date.

nothing but that fast ball. Johnson show
ed us in Washington that he has develop
ed a curve, with a slow delivery, that
makes his pitching stuff all that one can
master. There is no argument among
the ball players when johnson and his
ability are referred to. He is entitled to
be labeled the most wonderful pitcher IN
the history of base ball, and one who
will last long time. It's no trouble for
him to pitch a game of ball. In fact.
it's just about as hard for him to pitch
as it is for the old lady to darn the
socks
johnson has been the most feared
pitcher in base ball for some years. His
well wishers would like to see him with a
first-class club. just to see what kind Of
a record he would hang up. Even against
strong hitting clubs today he does won
ders. If they are in a clouting streak
he stops them. This year he is at his
best. See what this bird has done SO far
this season:
"He has, allowed an average of six hits
in the five games pitched In that time
the opposing clubs have scored only seven
runs off him.
AFTER losing the opening game of the
season to the Athletics, 4 to q he de-
feated in turn New York, to 0. the Ath-
letics, to 0, Boston, to 2, New Yor<,
2 to y, and Boston, 5 to 1.
1T will be noted that in three Of the
six games the opposing clubs failed to
score"

Mark Roth, base ball critic Of the New
York Globe, has come to the conclusion
that Walter Johnson is the greatest
pitcher before the public today. Roth has
seen Johnson in action many times and
has also been influenced in his decision by
hearing players who bat against Johnson
express their opinions. Here is what he
says of our star twirler:
Right now the Idaho wonder is pitch
ing the greatest ball of his career. The
Cobbs. Lajoies, Mathewsons. Ed Washes,
Fords and all the other stars in base ball
sink into insigniicance with ball players
who have hit against the Washington
pitcher. They are unanimous in declar-
ing him the greatest pitcher in base ball.
Kind Of wide statement to make. but
they all stick to it. Listen to what Russ
Ford has to say about Johnson:
"'Do you know that Johnson could
pitch this afternoon, and go back again
the next day and be just as effective?' said
Ford. 1 think he has more speed than
any pitcher in the business, and he is the
greatest the game has ever produced. 1t
begins to look as IL he is going to have
great year. He is speedier than he was
last season. His fast ball has jump on
1t, and that is all that it needs. He has
fooled the batters, who thought he had

It speaks pretty we'll for the self-con-
troll that ball players exercise that there
are not more instances of the kind which
happened on the New York grounds yes
terday, when Ty Cobb climbed into the
stands and thrashed an abusive spectator
The cowardly practice of some individu-
ais in abusing a player on the field in the
vilest manner, whom they would not dare
to assail man to man, calls for drastic
action, and the wonder is that more play
ers do not take such matters into their
own hands.
Men with red blood flowing in their
veins are sure to resent the attacks which
are frequently made on them on the bal
field. There is no protection for the play
err as a rule and he must either stand
for the abuse or mete out such punish
ment as he sees fit. Cobb. no doubt, will
be suspended for his action, and yet steps
should be taken by every club to protect
the players from abusive attacks from
the spectators. The average patron OF
base ball does not approve Of this method
of trying to rattle visiting players, and
would welcome the expulsion from the
parks of individuals who resort to such
methods.
Kid Gleason is getting his share of the
credit for the good showing the White
SoX are making. In Philadelphia it il
claimed that the kid caused the defea'
of the Athletics by his knowledge of the
various batters. The kid was formerly
with the Phillies, and when they and the
Athletics hooked up in the spring Glea-
son had an opportunity to study Mack's
players. He is said to have wig-waggeo
the Sox outfield and changed their po
sitions for every batter that Mack sent
up, and in this way several base hits
were cut off at times when they meant
much.
There has never been any question
about Gleasons ability in helping man.
ager, and Jimmy Callahan made a ten
strike when he secured the veteran. who
after Bill Murray left the Phillies ap-
parently was allowed to quit the game
It is being proved that one successful
season does not establish a pitcher S
ability. Harry Krause of the Athletics
was whirlwind the first season he broke
in, but he has been unable to get away
with any games since. Last year Buck
OBrien of Boston looked to be a find, yet
O'Brien has won decidedly few games
this year. 1t is argued that it is easier
for a pitcher with whom the batters are
not familiar to make good showing
than one they have faced before. 1t is
only after several seasons of consistent
work that pitchers ability is proved.

greatest asset, for an indefinite period,
simply because the Georgia peach let his
tempestuous southern nature get the bet
ter of his discretion.
During the fourth inning Cobb raced
into the left field bleachers and assaulted
spectator, who, he claimed, had been
directing vile language against him. The
object OF Cobb's assault was badly pun
ished and had to be half carried to med
lcal assistance. He refused to give his
name. and was with great difficulty dis
suaded from preferring a charge of as
sauit against the greatest base ball player
of the age.
Great excitement prevailed for a time
Several hundred rooters flocked onto the
field In front Of the bleachers. Umpire
Westervelt rushed to the scene and split
out the Detroit players from the angry
mob. The game was delayed about five
minutes. Westervelt Immediately ordered
Cobb from the game. Ty bore no marks
from the fray except damaged hand.
He cut his fingers on the teeth Of his
spoil. Score:

Should today's game with the Browns
be prevented by rain there will be eight
postponed games on the Nationals list,
which means that eight double headers
will have to be played the next time the
Nationals hook up with the various teams
having postponements, with all excepting
Chicago
1t is because of this condition that Grf-
fifth is virtually force to carry every one
of the nine pitchers he now has on his
list, for once the bargain matinee season
starts he will have use for every one
OF them. To date Griffith has really
made use of but three of his pitchers,
Johnson, Groom and Walker Hughes
and Akers have pitched occasionally, but
the bulk of the work has fallen on the
three men mentioned. The fact that
postponements have been sandwiched into
almost every series has made it possible
to work but these three and still give
them a chance to rest between games.
but once the double headers start
that will be out of the question and Crit
fifth will then have to rely on his recruits
to a. certain extent
This fact may bring about the develop
ment of a good pitcher or two, for there
are many instances in base ball where a
star has come to the front in an
emergency which if it had not come up
would probably have left the player
warming the bench. So it may be that
one or two of the youngsters who will be
forced into the game by reason of the
many postponements may prove an agree
able surprise.
Manager Bobby Wallace and his luckless
Browns arrived in the city this morning,
after having lost every game they have
safely entrenched in last place, having
won but six games all season and lost
seventeen Wallace team was supposed
TO have been greatly improved this spring
over what 1t was last season The addi-
ton of several young pitchers who dis
played form in their early games, and
George Stovall, not to speak of Pratt. an
fnhelder, was supposed to have added
enough strength to help the team to a
higher position in the race. But it seems
still to lack that which any manager
needs to make a respectable showing.
Wallace has played in but few games
this spring, having given most of his at
tention to running the team from the
bench and the coaching lines. Wallace,
who is not only one of the greatest in
felders the game has ever developed, but
one of the most popular players, has been
very unfortunate since he became man.

never been able to surround himself with
the material necessary to bring his team
up to respectable standard.
While the absence of Lajoie is natur-
ally felt by the Cleveland team. yet on its
showing here 1t would seem that the
Maps are again to prove disappointments.
Because of the good showing that the
team made in the last campaign, coupled
with the fact that it seemed to have
picked up some more valuable material
and was in charge of a man who was
expected to prove another Connie Mack,
the Maps were picked as probable pen
nant winners this spring. But there is
hardly any danger of their even being
prominent in the race and Harry Davis
