Connie Mack, is Very much on the job at the Athletics training camp at Fort Myers, Fla. Neither eye nor ardor has been dimmed by his forty-five years in the game. The venerable manager of the World Champa recently celebrated his sixty > eighth birthday, starting hia baseball career as catcher with the Meriden, Conn., club back in 1884, he joined the Washington club, then Buffalo and landed with Pittsburgh in 1890. When the franchise of the Milwaukee Club of the old Western League was transferred to Philadelphia ■ lii 1901, Connie, then manager Of Milwaukee, went with it. A year later he won his first American League pennant. He has b£cn the Athietica’ only man ager and has won eight Ameri can League pennants and five world championships with his teftrn, a record that will prob ably never bo broken. Hie Farmer And The Tariff (By Congressman John N, darner Of Texas.) Striking direct at the workingman, the farmer, and the small business man—the real foundation upon which American progress and pros perity has been established—the Hawley-Smoot tariff places an un just and unnecessary burden of hundreds of millions of dollars an nually upon those already over burdened by the gradual develop ment of a tariff system which ex tends special favors to the few nt the expense of the masses. No greater fraud was ever per petrated upon the American people than the claim of proponents of the Hawley-Smoot bill that it is design ed "to protect American labor," a statement which the Republican members of the ways and means committee had the audacity to in sert in the title of the bill. Its real purpose Is to exploit, not to protect, and the millions of American work ingmen, as well as the farmers and business men, are the targets against, whom these shafts of tariff ex poitatlon are aimed. It Is extremely unfortunate that the average individual doer, not have the time or the Information at hand to ascertain with an degree of ac curacy how he will be affected per sonally. An excessive tariff can be classified as an intangible tax which reverts to the protected interests in stead of the government. Tire for mulation of a tariff bill has devel oped into a wild scramble on the part of many selfish interests to secure the assent of congress to the imposition cf indefensible burdens upon the consumers. The consumer has no definite knowledge of how hard he is hit by this Intangible tax. He can not ascertain the pro duction Costs on the articles he buys <ior the cost Of distribution. In a vague way he knows that the casts of the necessaries of life are con stantly mounting; that the already swollen fortunes of these favored by excessive tariff rates are expanding; but he pays the extortionate prices created by these Indefensible rates -I and merely utters ineffectual pro-1 tests against the system which has placed an intangible and unreason- i able tax upon practically every ne cessity of life. Almost every article the average American cit'ven wears, eats, or uses in his dally routine carries the tariff tax. Awake or asleep he is constantly adding to the profits of those interests which are granted a special dispensation through the tariff to exploit him. Take the average American work ingman as an example. When he arises in the morning he shaves him self with a razor carrying a 117 per cent tariff tax. using soap that has a rate of 30 per cent. He dons his underwear, if cotton, is taxed 45 per cent; if wool, 55 per cent; and 73 percent if he has aristocratic tastes and wears undergarments for ray on. He puts on his shirt, taxed 37 1-2 percent if made of cotton; draws on hte rayon hose on which he is as sessed 73.34 per cent, and proceeds to don his light wool suit, taxed 67 per cent. He next pulls on his shoes, taxed 20 per cent, and, his toilet completed, he wipes his nose on a handkerchief which has a tarifi rate of 40 per cent, and then hurries to the dining room for breakfast The morning meal, like all other meals, is a tariff nightmare. The J buebwheat in the cakes is taxed K per cent. He spreads them with but ter, which carrier, a tariff rate ol 39M per cent, and gives them a lib eral application of maple syrup, tax ed 41.28 per cent. The bacon is tax ed 946 per cent, and sugar 2 cents Coffee is the only item on the menu that does not carry a tariff tax. The wtfe Is busy filling "that full dinner pall,” taxed 45 per cent, while he dons his cheap overcoat, taxed 86.31 per cent, and his wool hat, taxed 203 per cent. If he can afford the higher grade of wool hat he Is taxed only 111 per cent, or If he wears a straw, the manufacturer thereof has a tariff rate of 158 per cent to "protect” his product. While waiting for his wife to bring the din ner pall he fills his pipe, taxed 423 per cent, and after a glance at the clock, taxed 1.83 per cent, hurries off to his dally toll. If he is a mechanic, every tool and practically every piece of material he may use carries an excessive tariff rate. If he Is a clerk or ac countant, his pens, pencils, paper, typewriter, ink, paper clips, and every other article he may use ha.; had Its price enhanced by the tariff. If he is an executive he sits down I at a desk, taxed 40 per cent, smokes a cigar the wrapper of which is tax ed $2.92 per pound, and gives his orders to the tariff-harried office force, each of whom is probable con templating asking for a salary in crease in order to meet the ever-in creasing cost of the necessities of life. When the noon whistle blows the workingman selr.es his dinner pail aad proceeds to regale himself with roaf beef, taxed 25.73 per cent; a couple of boiled eggs. 34.44 per cent ; cold potatoes, taxed 62 per cent, and finishes with a bottle of milk, which carries a 37 per cent tariff rate. Tills menu may £e varied from day to day, but there is little variation hi the tariff burden the workingman is compelled to carry. In the meantime, his wife lias had a busy morning and inis done her bit toward maintaining the pros perity of the tariff barons. After preparing breakfast on the gas range, taxed 40 per cent, she decides to add to the menu some oatmeal, which still carries the old tariff rate of 8 16. With this she places on the table a small pitcher of cream, tax ed 34.75 per cent, and then awakens the children. After giving them a bath in the enameled tub, taxed 48; per cent, she admonishes them not j to forget to clean their teeth with; brushes taxed 73 to 101 per cent, and hurries them into their tariff taxed clothing and down to their simple but highly taxed breakfast, A few minutes later, the children hear the school bell, taxed 40 per cent; and taking their pens, taxed 43,26 per cent; pencils, 45.11 per cent; and via per, 29.24 per cent, de part to spend the day studying books printed on tariff-taxed paper. Their mother sweeps the home with a broom, taxed 25 per cent; scrubs the linoleum, taxed 42 per cent, with a brush taxed 50 per cent, using map all the components of which carry tariff rates. Completing tills | duty, she washes some of the neces sary clothing for the children, using a tub taxed 40 per cent, hanging the i garments on a clotheslines, taxed 42 per cent, with clothespins that carry a tariff rate of 121.31 per cent, i Completing this work, she brushes her feet on a coco-fiber doormat,: taxed 78.76 per cent, and hurries into' the house to continue her daily] routine. She sews some buttons, taxed 358 per cent, on her daughter's dress, and then concludes to go down to the market. Discarding her cottou house dress, taxed 54 per cent, she proceeds to comb her hair, using a comb taxed 6026 per cent. She ap plies face cream and a little rouge, each taxied 75 per cent, and the power applied to her nose is also j taxed 75 per cent.

Arriving at the market she pur chases such of the tariff-taxed ne cessities of life as her slim purse will per mlt, and as she has a little (lmc before lunch decides to "shop" among the stores. She needs an electric iron, but learns that the price has gone up, due to the 124 per cent tariff tax. She decides to buy an imitation pearl necklace for her daughter, but finds that througli the act of con gress tire manufacturers of such ar ticles have secured tariff rates which has boosted the prices She also learns that the good, the 5 cent, cigar her husband formerly enjoyed in the evening after work hours can no longer be procured at that price, due to the high rate placed upon wrapper tobacco, and concludes that lie must content him self with the pipe, on which the tariff has already been paid.
