Lessons for the Year.

The governor of Michigan celebrated
Washingtons birthday by issuing horta-
tory address to the people Of the state on
the right improvement of the centennial
year. After inviting them to cultivate the
proper patriotic sentiments, and cautloning
them earnestly against political quacks, he
comes down to business. He wants Amer
lean history taught great deal more gen
orally and thoroughly in the public schools
than it is taught now in Michigan, five
schools out of six do not even make pro.
tense of teaching it. Unless this neglect IA
remedied, Gov. Bagley fears we shall 'sbe-
come q nation of dou6ters and croalsers ).
Secondly, he wants every man who Gowns
apiece Of Gods ground" to celebrate the
centennial by planting a tree on it. Lastly,
he wants every man to resolve to do his
part toward handing down the legacies of
the fathers-simplicity and economy of
government, the free school, free church,
free press, and free town meeting.

A Relic Found in a Tree.

This is very good year for the discov-
cry of relies. A Philadelphia paper says
that about month ago 4 farmer named
Jacob Klinek, living near Fox Chase,
sawed down a large chestnut tree, the saw
in its progress striking something metallic
Embedded in the wood were found gold
watch, two gold pencil cases and gold
chain, all wrapped in an old sock. The
tree was cut close to the ground, and these
articles had evidently been hidden at the
junction of two roots, the wood growing
over and enclosing them. The watch had
a case which could be detached and was
inscribed with the date "1740." One of
pencil cases was provided with pen, and
the chain was very long ore. There was
also gold watch key, which, however,
did not fit the watch. The tree had at
TANNED great age, being about six feet in
diameter. An old mansion once stood
near by, and it is supposed that the ar
ticles in question were during the war of
the Revolution. The watch was unin-
iured except that the hands were rusted off.

Death of j. w. Wheelock.

We have learned with sorrow of the
death of our editorial brother, j. w.
Wheelock, of the Montpelier FREEMAN.
He had been confined to his house for
some months by painful kidney disease,
but did not abandon the hope of getting
about again, and the announcement of his
death must be a painful surprise to most of
the editorial fraternity. He was born in
Eden, Lamoille county, in 1926 entered a
printing office in early life; became in
time foreman of the Freeman establish
ment was then associated with Hon. G..
w. Willard as partner and business mana
ger, and when Mr.. Willard went to con-
gress, became the sole proprietor of the
paper and printing office. He was
a man of un!iriDg industry, of marked
capacity as business manager, and when
he took the quill showed decided ability as
an editor He was prominent member
of the association of Vermont editors, was
always present at its meetings, and will be
much missed from its future gatherings
In 1869 and 70 he represented the town of
Berlin within the limits of which he re-
sided) in the Legislature. A man of firm
convictions, Of unvaryipg advocacy of the
claims of truth. justice, religion, and good
morals, of sometimes caustic yet in the
main kindly temper, he will long be held
in kindly remembrance. He leaves some
worthy sons, who will succeed to his bust
ness. Huntington Free Press.

The same article contains statistics show
ing the effect of this "infernal measure"
In 1921, government securities sold at
seventy-hve cents on the dollar, while, in
1880, they had advanced TO nncty-four
cents in 1929, the United States bank had
on hand only four millions of dollars in
gold, and we owed England fifty millions.
In 1880, England was indebted to us and
the bank had nearly eleven millions in gold.
In 1922, the government borrowed five mil
lions of dollars with which to pay the in
terest on the public debt, but, in 1881, it
had paid the entire interest aud sixty-six
millions of the principal. In 1923, we ex-
ported forty -soven millions Of dollars worth
Of goods, and in 1880, seventy -four mil
lions, while our imports had decreased
some seven millions, and the 'balance of
trade was in our favor. During the
same period, the duties on imports increased
two millions of dollars. In 1921, there
was, in agricultural districts, one pauper
out of every one hundred and twenty ght
of the population, while in 1881, the pro-
portion was one in three hundred and for
ty-four.
1t is further stated that the price of for.
eign goods, on which increased duties were
levied, did not rise, but, in most instances,
fell. both in 1924 and in 1928. \ leading
Boston importer stated "that nearly every
"article they imported was actually wortf
i" less to them than in the previous year,
under the old duty" Among othei
things, IL is stated that there was n decline
| in brosdcloth, ilannel5, cotons, worstcds
| blankets, molasses, etc. etc. There ar
those yet living among us who remembe
the terrible depression Of 1887, which con
tinued until 1913, when, under the higl
tariff of 1912, Susiness was revived and th
country entered upon a new career of pros
perity. We commend the facts and figure
to those who thinl; that high duties add t.
the cost Of goods to the consumer.

Golden Mountain Discovered.

Letters from miners in the great San
Juan mines of northwestern Colorado, say
that gold in marvellous quantities has been
discovered in the Sangre de Caristo range
of mountains, which lie on the eastern bor-
ders of the San Luis Park, and about rs
miles west from Puebla
South Mountain, in Summit district, af.
fords the best yield of gold in that vicinity.
A correspondent of Denver paper says
that ii is one solid mass of gold quartz. A
returned miner says that South mountain
is about two miles long, and that there is
but one true fissure vein in it, yet all of it,,
the whole mass, produces gold.

Church Taxation.

Rhode Island has got up the greatest
furore on the taxation of church properly,
and the lower house of the legislature has
actually passed bill taxing the land occu-
pied by churches, colleges, charities and
schools, except, we presume, they be state
or municipal institutions. The taxation of
the land and exemption of buildings ia one
form OF compromise, but il would come
pretty severely on some institutions, as for
instance on Brown university, which occu-
pies largo tract of the most valuable land
In the city Of Providence. The moral of
this and other circumstances would seem
to be that the institution should sell it's
present site, move out, and have money in
Its purse.

The Pennsylvania Central railroad has
appointed 100 train clerks, who will, after
the first of March, receive all tickets and
take charge of all moneys which have
hitherto been paid TO conductors, make out
a statement of the moneys received, the
number of passengers carried and the num-
Der of tickets lifted, so that the managers
of the roads can have thorough knowledge
of the business done by each train daily.
The conductors will have full charge of
the trains, but will not lift any tickets nor
receive any fares.

PREVENTION or RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
The recent railroad act passed by the

against such terrible accidents as that a

each railroad corporation shall keep in eacl

shall be used for lighting any such car
Railroad companies are also supposed t
carry good drinking water on each passen
