SIX MONTHS OF FREE TRADE
TARIFF.

Six months of the Underwood tariff
law have more than justified every
prediction made by the protectionists.
President Wilson's idea that it would
be good plan to put the wits OF the
American manufacturer against the
world is shown to be a failure. In
the last six months the nation has lost
$25,00,000 in customs revenue. 1t is
believed that the losses will be heav-
Ter in the ensuing six months, since
the wooden schedule has been in OPP
Grafton only three months, SO that the
experts of the Treasury were pretty
nearly correct in their figures.
In the six months we have lost in
exports and have gained in imports.
We have imported $540OO,OO0 less Of
raw materials or materials for fur
Their manufacture than in the cores
bonding FIVE months of the previous
year. In the same period our exports
of manufactured or partly manufac-
tured articles fell off by $4,000, 900
a net loss to the country of S7,0O0,-
600 in our manufacturing trade. This
net loss falls upon workers in Amerl-
can mills and factories. Our wits"
have not met those abroad for the
simple reason that our own men will
not work for such wages as are paid
abroad. The showing for the month
of March is the worst of all, and
there is no prospect of change for
the better.
The government is $30,000000 be-
hind in its balance sheet for the fiscal
year to date. Appropriations are on
higher scale than ever, while the
prosperity of the country is being as
sailed on every side That conditions
are no worse is due to the fact that
our manufacturers have been doing
their best to meet conditions. They
have seen their profits cut down or
vanish, but they have kept on be-
cause they did not want to see their
organization broken up. Many thou
sands of employees have been dis
charged This city has more idle men
than at any time in generation.
1t was as plain as anything could
be six months ago that such would
be the results, but the academic legis-
lators at Washington believed that by

Teddy Roosevelt has been heard
from as to his attitude on the repeal
of the canal tolls bill and, as every
body knew he would, declares against
the repeal OF the law He thinks it
is a strange thing if American ship
ping cannot have the advantage of the
canal which was built by American
money, American labor and planned
by American genius-a feat which no
other nation had successfully carried
out and which any other nation would
have controlled if it had built the
ditch.

tieth Century Club was held at the
club house on Friday afternoon, April
7. City Engineer Meskimons gave
talk on Good Roads" Several i'm
promptu talks on the same subject
and on the Lincoln Highway were
also given. The University Glee Club
contributed music for the occasion. A
very excellent feature of the after
noon was the exhibit of household
decorations of the Federated Clubs in
charge of Mrs Nevada Wilson Reil-
ley who is Chairman of the Art De
partment fthe State Federation. An
excellent paper of explanation was
sent with the exhibit which should
be seen by every woman for house
decoration. This magnificent work
of art was seen in the billiard room
of the club and Mrs. Kelley displayed
samples of her china to blend with
the colors.
The Ely Woman's Club held very
interesting meeting on Saturday,
April 4. Two excellent musical Sc
lections opened the program, followed
by several papers on Swat the Fly"
movement Most of the Club papers
lad some clippings from papers that
they read on the danger from flies.
The City Marshal addressed the Club

Club is also helping to fix up ono
room in the new high-school. They
plan to secure number of fine pic
lures for this room and other add
tons will be added as soon as finances
permit.

As | get the news, the owners
in the National and American
Leagues. after getting the Federal
folks in New York. decided not to offer
the proposed compromise. which was to
give them some minor league franchises
very cheap.
We've got them stopped now" said
one maGnate. why should we COM
promise?'
Gilmore HustIcs.
In tho meantime. Mr.. Gilmore and his
crowd had been hustlinE and stumbled
over some money. AIr Gilmore happened
to recall that when they were both young
he had known well man who has be-
mind him several million Of dollars He
visited this friend and interested him.
His name has not appeared at all yet in
connection with the enterprise. and am
in no position to break a confidence. Next.
he got the Wards, and there came more
and more money into the Federal treas
ury. Following on the heels of this luck
the rs-Murphy break occurred, and
the Federals went back to Chicago
made" and prepared to fight organized
baseball. And they had come to New
York practically fiat financially.
Now that the National League has
baseball, 1 have an anecdote that should
be good reading. When the Cubs were
on the market at the time John r.
Walsh. the former owner. was forced TO
sell, because of financial reverses, Fred
Knowles, formerly the secretary of the
Giants. and Harry Pulliam. once the
president of the National League, were
both trying TO buy the team. Mr.. Muir
Ply was the press agent of the Giants
az that time. and was not plentifully sup
piled with money. He was sitting in the
grandstand during a game in Chicago
between the Giants ard old Cubs one day
with Mr.. Knowles and Jim Hart, then
an officer of the Cubs, when the question
of the sale of the Chicago team came up
for discussion. Hart insisted on talking
about this. although Murphy was sup
POSED to be an outsider. and Mr.. Knowles
kept kicking him and giving him the
wink to be quiet Murphy pricked up his
ears and became interested at once.
I'll give you slOO for an option on
the club for forty-eight hours said
Murphy. He produced the 500 and got
the option. Then he hustled down to
Cincinnati and obtained the money from
C.-P. Taft to purchase the team. which
he did for $105000. In the meantime Mr.
Pulliam had obtained backing and Of
fered $4,000 for the club.
''It is sold to Murphy for $1cj.OO0." la
mented Mr.. Walsh.
1t was Murphy's overhearing OF the
conversation and his quick offer OF 500
for the option that got him fortune
in a few years, which is now estimated
at more than Sl,O0Go00.
These are two fairy stories of modern
baseball.
Nobody ever mentions any small fig
ures in baseball any more except man
ayers in contracts. saw In the papers

1t Is strange how the fortunes of basc-
ball managers change. When Clark

as rank failure. and prophets predict

was johnny Evers. After NIurnbv

Il Sends in Plank.
The trained eye of our manager had
discerned that the last free pass which
his pitcher had handed out was the re-
suit of fatigue. let us call it, and even
though we were leading Detroit by three
or four runs. he was taking no chances
and substituted Plank, who thereafter
held the Tigers in check
The very first hit that Larry Chapelle,
the star outfielder the White Sox got
from Milwaukee, made in the American
League really knocked one of the Ath-
1etics pitchers out of the box. II it did
not actually force Browns retirement at
the moment il went whizzing out to
right field. IT was the forerunner of a
cluster of base knocks which drove
Brownie 10 cover. The rally took place
in the initial inning of the first game of
a double-header which we were scheduled
TO play the White Sox. Although the lat
ter collected only two runs and Brown
seemed to be going strong, Connie" de-
cided to derrick him. This was his dope:
Russell was the SoN's pitcher, and two
runs advantage at the start for him or
dinarily looks as big as a mountain.
Brown was one Athletic pitcher who
usually could beat Chicago. but this
time he had got away bad. Houck,
Bush, or young Wyckoff were available
to shove in to fight ii out with Russell,
and that would save Brown for the sec
osd game. Comics line Of figuring

unable to do anything in that first game.

Good Pitcher Comes Out.
Instances such as this often happen
where a good pitcher, because he Is be-
hind and his club seems to have a hope
less task Of winning, is taken out in
order TO save his strength. and another
substituted who is very liable to hold
the opposition down, but who would not
have as good chance of winning as
the man whom he has replaced If the
game were to begin over again.
The value cf Charles Albert Bender to
the Athletics would be hard to estimate.
He has always been looked upon as one
Of the big mainstays Of the pitching de-
partment But in none of his ten or
eleven brilliant years of service with the
Athletics did he show to better advan-
tage than during the season of 1873
Up until last year, Chief was always
the kind of pitcher who could and did
take his turn regularly and would win
two-thirds of his games, but he usually
needed three days rest between games,
and seldom was he called upon to finish
up for any other pitcher. But last year
