...that time, as college is necessarily quiet during the opening weeks of that term. By reason of the mild weather the baseball men have been practicing out-doors some during the past few days, but most of the work has been almost entirely confined to the gymnasium. Princeton will suffer a great many disadvantages from the loss of the cage, which was destroyed by storm last Commencement, and which was expected to be of such service, especially in batting. Mercer Hall has been engaged as a partial substitute, and a court for hand-ball practice has been there fitted...

They do not dare to play in an underhanded fashion even if they are inclined so to do, for fear of losing their positions.

Can anyone look at these figures and deny that protection and prosperity have gone hand in hand? It is said that the laborers suffer from the tariff, even if they do not perceive it, because, although wages are higher, the cost of living is raised by protection. Colonel Wright's careful statistics prove that while the cost of living is 17 per cent. greater here than in England, wages are 50 cent. higher...
