Two things.
1. Atlantic magazine shuts down comments & reverts to good old fashioned intelligent Letters to the Editor.
2. In the photo (presume from New York "NYPL") the mail sorting dudes are wearing guns. GUNS?

From"The Worker" Sep25, 1897😀
"Australians have always been lauded by visitors for their hospitality. The Yankee baseballers who were here eight or nine years ago were "right royally" feted.

It would have been thought that gratitude alone would have impelled them to do the Australian baseballers a good turn when they were in the States. Yet when our boys got there, they found themselves debited with the cost of the drag in which two or three Yanks had driven down to the quay to meet them !"

On falling down. Gain from the losses it causes. [No, not Michael Douglas' movie]
