BRYAN ANSWERS

1~>SNAoaA0
submitted to Mr.. Bryan by a
representative of the Boston
Transcript. The answers will
be found following the ques.
tons:
First. The possibility Of low
ering the cost of living by tariff
reduction.
Answer. Tariff reduction
can lower the cost of living to
the extent that tariff duties
have increased that cost.
Where the price level in this
country is. through the opera
ton of tariff duties. raised
above the price level in sother
counties, it can be reduced by
reducing the tariff.
Second. The possibility that
lowered cost of commodities
would be followed by lower
wages.
Answer. A lowering Of
wages would not necessarily
follow a lowering of the tariff.
Wages do not depend upon the
tariff but upon competition be-
tween wage earners. 4 reduc-
ton in the prices of the pro-
duct would naturally increase
the demand, and an increase in
demand would increase the
number of employees necessary
to produce the larger quantity
demanded, and thus the ten
dency would be to increase
wages rather then to lower
them. The protectionists have
for a generation threatened a
reduction in wages if the tariff
is reduced. but the threat does
not rest upon an economic
basis, and it is evident that it
has failed this year to make
the impression that it has in
former campaigns.
Third. The possibility that
there might then be the same
discrepancy between wages and
cost of living.
Answer. This question is
hypothetical and it is answered
in the answer to the second
question.
Fourth. The possibility that
tariff reduction would entail
new taxation for revenue which
would bear just as heavily.
Answer. T h i s question
seems to assume that a reduc-
ton in tariff would not re-
suit in greater revenue. 1t is
not only possible, but probable
that a reduction in tariff would
increase the revenue by in
creasing the imports and at the
same time increase the demand
for labor by increasing the
domestic output. Where the
tariff is prohibitory it may re-
suit in placing a heavy burden
upon the consumer without
yielding any revenue at all. 1t
is a common mistake of p~rotec-
tionists to measure the burden
borne by the consumer by the
amount of the taxes collected,
whereas the people may pay to
the protected interests many
times the amount that reaches
the treasury. If, for instance,
we import one-tenth as much
of a given article as we con-
sumo and the domestic in
dustry collects approximately
the full amount of the tariff,
the burden upon the people is
ten times as great as the
amount received by the gov
eminent in revenue. In such
a case q reduction in the tariff
might double the revenue and

Nashville Leader Reconsders Decision Retire and Will Sign

Reconsidering his decision to retire.
Manager Bill Schwartz viii again lead the
destinies of the Nashville club in 1914.
While the Vol pilot will again lead the
Nashvillel machine, he will do the steering
from the bench instead of from first base.
The low position of the Nashville club led
Schwartz to offer to yield the reins to an
other, but President Hrsig announced
that he was pleased with the present man
ager and Bill decided to remain.

Despite the low position of the Nashville
club, Schwartz has held the respect of
the fans and the idolatry of his players.
With the stringent policy of guarding the
Nashville exchequer, it Is wonderful that
he has avoided the cellar. Schwartz has
moulded his present machine from few
veterans and several youngsters, picked up
fer small sums, and one or two good
players.
Williams and Gibson, his star battery,
WAS secured for an outlay of 5000. Gala
ban and More were gained by small sums
from Atlanta and Chattanooga, while
Moves was purchased for practically moth
iuS. Boland, Beci, and Hinton We're Sc
cured for very little, as Boland and Hin
ton were obtained free of charge, while
Beck was bought from the Kitty league.
Artie Holman alone has been bought for
over $1,000. In view of this, little better
could be expected of the manager.
Next season it is understood that Detroit
will shift its farm from Chattanooga TO
Nashville, and with more liberal policy
Schwartz should prove winner. At pres
cnt he is battling with a weak club, but
with the addition of a few strong pitch
ers he will appear formidable

Johnny Dobbs is dickering for two
players-a finger and a catcher.
With Donahue's retirement from
the game the Billiken boss is forced
to obtain a second catcher and the
failure of Sparks necessitates
signing another pitcher
At this late stage Dobbs will find
it difficult to obtain either and
may be forced TO finish with the
present personnel. Allison was
bought from st. Louis but refused
to report. At this season the ma

After a series of belated bitches
resulting from the waiver rule,

The former Baron was a member OF
the Brooklyn club at the begin

to the Canadian city. He was then
recalled and shunted back to Tor

formality of asking waivers.
The Pittsburg club demanded
that Kent be turned over to IL as
the club refused to waive claim.
