TARIFF DATA
Democratic System Not Re,
munerative, Says Cam
paign Statement.
Public Ledger esryiceO

Comparison Of the tariff records
OF the Republicans and Democrats,
showing that the latter had never
increased the revenue through lower
rates, was issued last night by the
Republican publicity association, in
support Of Senator Harding's con-
tention that the country needed a
return to a protective tariff policy.
Seven years of our import trads
under the Democratic tariff law,
1sl4-2O, inclusive" says the state
ment, brought goods into this
country aggregating nearly S2O,-
OOe, 900, 900 in value, and brought
customs duties into the Federal
Treasury in the sum of 1851, ,OO0,.
600 During the last seven years
under the Republican protective
policy. 19O7-l3. inclusive, our i'm
ports aggregated $4,000, 900, 900 in
value. but they boosted the Fed
eral revenues by $4,000. 900. 900
This is a statistical commentary
which leads right to the point of
the jaw Of the Democratic conten-
tion that low rates of duty provide
larger customs revenues, to which
policy the San Francisco platform
gives reaffirmatIOn.
Comparing the two seven year
periods: While imports. under
Democratic law. increased nearly
100 per cent. customs duties fell off
about Is per cent. or 1866. 900. 900.
The average annual income from
port revenues under Republican
law was S3I4,OOO. 900. under Demo
CRATIC law s253, 100000; the average
annual Importation under the for
mer was less than $500. 600 600,
under the latter over s2,SOO, 900. 900.

MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take q glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their ef-
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces Of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
SO it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
iure, and makes delightful efervescent
;ithia-water drink.

Philadelphia, September 10.--The east again won two out of three matches in the east-west tennis tournament at the Germantown Cricket Club today, giving
 it an advantage of four games to two in two days competition.
 R. Norris Williams Il, Boston, stood out conspicuously in todays matches, winning rom Clarence J. Griffin, San Francisco, 6-4, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. In the other singles match, Walter T. Hayes, Chicago, triumphed over Dean Mathey, New York, 1-6, 2-6, 6-3, 6-1, 7-5, while in the doubles,

 Watson M. Washburn New York, uS- feated Willis E. Davis and Roland Rob erts, San Francisco, 6-3 6-3, 6-2.
 Williams dominated the situation in his match with Griffin. He registered daz- Ezling placement aces of his back hand as he shot the ball across the court at sharp angles. His service was also eff fective and his volleying either from deep court or close to the net was as good as in the days when he held the
 national championship. He used his
 backhand with such uncanny skill that Griffin was caught out of position time and again.
 In the doubles match, Wallace John
 son was the outstanding figure. lie
 used his chop stroke to advantage at all times and frequently forced Davis and Roberts out of position. The teamwor k of Johnson and Washburn was almost perfect, one invariably managing to be at the place to hit the ball when the other was out of position. Davis over hand played an important part for his side, but his best efforts proved unavaii- ing

Jack Riley opines that Jack Dempsey could knock out Bob Martin with brace of swats and that Georges Car pentier wouldn't go two rounds with the mighty gladiator.
 I'm in something of a position to know" claims Riley who served briefly as one of Dempsey's sparring partners for the Miske fight. "I fought Martin and I knocked him out; I've boxed many times with Carpenter. And the woorkouts I had with Dempsey convince me that Carpenter should prove a mark for Dempsey"
 Riley, a burly youngster, was with the American army in France and garnered the reputation of being one of the tough est soldier heavyweights extant No- body seemed to be able to hurt hinl-and he packed few wicked punches that damaged everyone that happened to be on the receiving end.
 HE LETS LOOSE"
 Eventually Riley found his way nto Benton Harbor and sought out Dempsey for job as sparring partner. ne assured Dempsey that he could give nlm a great workout-and dared Dempses to .let loose.'' The challenge to let loose' sounded highly interesting 10 Dempsey. It's history that in the first workout the champion whacked Riley couple for a starter-little more than jabs. / Yet they dazed the one-time sol- dier He recovered when Dempsey let up on him. Then he tore in at Dempsey but he never even tickled the cham pion. ~ - , ,..
 Dempsey fooled around with him for round In the second he hooked a mild one to Riley's head-and raised three-inch bump. He jabbed to Riley face-and smeared it. And then ne wagged a playful left-oniy six incnes long-against Riley's jaw-and Riley was out
 After that experience" declares Riley, ,I'll say that Dempsey is a mar vel of marveis. l know ne didnt n'' me hard-and that he had fourteen , ounce gloves on his hands. Yet when he did land I thought I had been sma shed with bag of lead. He hits so fast and so often that he beWiiders III 1 a minute. And that trick stunt of his leading with his right and following 't straight through-is the greatest I've ever seen Nobody else can do it.

Dixon Is After
 q Bout BetUeen Alfred and Brady

Another tidbit for waiting boxing ian lom has come to light. From present indications nifty little scrap is in store for local mitt fanatics before another month is out.
 Sailor Dixon,s who is directly respcn sble for the ring welfare of a certain true-blue little fighter masqueradins around under the John Hancock of De- Witt Alfred, came moseying around the Athletic Club seeking information.
 As Sailor put it, what right has any one matching Jack Brady with Ashton Donza for the supremacy of the south, speaking from a 125-poun standpoint while Dewitt Alfred occupies space be- low the Mason and Dixon inc? Being a Dixie scrapper himself, weighing around l2s pounds and having put away many capable scrappers, Alfred is of the same mind as his teacher, Sailor Dixon, and wants to get in on the scrap.
 Matters were discussed by Dixon af Tommy Tompkins and although no agreement was made, it is possible that the two will arrange a little elimination bout to decide the opponent of Donza. But, that's matter that only the future can bring to light. Meanwhile, waiting fandom still waits and hopes.

Races in Majors
 Are Still Close
No Change in Positions of Leading Teams Recorded
 Yesterday

New York, September 10.-The major league >pennant chasers underwent no change of position today for the first time this week. The Brooklyn Nationals, leaders, gained three points on Cincinnati and New York. Both of whom did not play, while the New York Americans obtained revenge rom the Cleveland leaders for yesterdays defeat.
 The Indians have no game advantage over Chicago. which won from Boston, and are only three points ahead of the White Sox. The Yankees are eight points behind Cleveland and if they win the odd game of the series tomorrow, they will possess a half game advantage the indians by freak of figures will be one point behind them.
 The ability of the Brooklyn Nations 10 come through with a rally in the eleventh inning today to win from St. Louis, after tying the westerners in the ninth, shows that the Superbas are embibed with a fighting spirit that will stand them well in the close race. Brooklyn's fourth straight victory put them full game pr four points, ahead of Cincinnati and three games or twenty-two points ahead of New York.
