The Courage of His Convictions.

In an address at Reading the 9th.

humorously said: "Who ever knew
an old soldier to refuse commissary
whisky :" To bis surprise tall,

ed +" Here's one." The. Governor
was not so much surprised but that
he could exclaim +: "Then you must
have been as dry as craven image.n
The old soldier who was not afraid
to make known bis temperance prin-
ciples is William III. X. Bush, of
Reading. He served as sergeant
four years in the war and was in
twenty-five battles. He was tenn
perance man first, last and all the
time. He organized temperance
society Of twenty-eight members in
his company. but after he returned
from two months imprisonment at
Belle Isle he found that all but four
had broken the pledge. He at once
recognized the society and built it
up to sixty-eigbt members. Once
there came an order that every sol
der should have two doses of aui.
nine in whiskey every day. Sergeant
Bush marched his company up to the
surgeons tent at "sick call y and the
surgeon said: " Pour out big one
for the sergeant
But the sergeant answered 81
swore allegiance to Uncle Sam to
fight, but not to drink whisky
The surgeon was inclined to make
a fuss, but the colonel backed up the
sergeant and others of his company
who refused the whisky.
When the governor asked that
question:" said Mr.. Bush, 81

THE WOOL INTEREST.

Remembering, as we do, the con-
sequences of Congressional tinker
ing with the tariff, and the great
arrangement to the business affairs
OF the country, induces us to feel a
deep interest in the present attempt
by the ruling power in our House of
Representatives to repeat the same
game again, in the face of the sol
emn appeals of nearly every class of
our home industries to keep their
hands off. 1t is evidently admitted
that the leaders of this attempt are
convinced that no good can arise
from their efforts, and that it is only
IAN attempt to get over the promise
which was made at the last election
to "reformn the tariff, under which
guise was intended a deception SIM
liar to that which was practiced in
the great contest in 1874, when
Polk and Dallas we're presented in
Pennsylvania as better tariff men
than Henry Clay, the great leader
of the friends of the protective sys.
tenn. They succeeded then in ac-
complishlng their ends. Polk and
Dallas were elected, and when the
question was before the next Con-
gress, by the casting vote of Mr..
Dallas, the vice president, change
was effected By which the whole
system of taxation was changed,
the Pennsylvanians going with the
Southern free traders of that period.
The next election, however, swept
the councils Of the country of those
who then betrayed the people, aud
Mr.. Dallas who had been looked up
on as the future candidate of the
party, was laid upon the shelf, and
all his political aspirations bIighted
| forever thereafter The attempt
has been recently made to induce
Mr.. Randall, who takes the lead of
his party friends in Congress favor
able to protection, to repeat the
fraud; but the example OF the con-
sequences alluded to on the former
occasion appears to have sufficed,
and that gentleman is not to be
caught by the chaff offered to him,
by the withdrawal of iron and other
metals from the Morrison tariff free
list, as at first adopted, as bride to
him and his Pennsylvania friends to
support the bin as now before the
House, and knowing that they have
nothing to hope for from OHIO ard
the other wool-growing states of the
West, the great fight is to be made
against that great interest. Com
menting upon this subject, cotem-
porary says that, considering the
great fact that agriculture is the
great source of national wealth in
! this country. it is a somewhat sin

"a.

gular fact that the dominant party
in Congress should seek out from
the 1000 articles in the tariff the
leading agricultural products to be
placed ON the free list. The minor
lty report on the proposed tariff
changes states in effect that the
wool growers in this country were
led to believe from the tariff bill
first before the committee that no
adverse action would be had touch
ing their interest. They were,
therefore, not before the committee
in any official way. They did not
dream that the inadequate protec-
ton they now enjoyed was to be
swept from them, and their vast in.
terests left to the mercy OF COM
petition with wool growers in Aus.
tralia, New Zealand and the South
American States, where the princi-
pal cost of production is the herding
required by the shepherds, where
labor is cheap, and where feeding,
either in winter or summer does not
enter into the cost of sheep husband
~.
In 1869 the sheep in the United
States numbered little over %.
100000. In 1888 the number had
reached 5O,OOO,OOO. In 1860 the
clip was 6O,2OO,O0O pounds, while In
1888 it had reached 32O,O00,O00
pounds. The duty of 1867. was
to wool growing its greatest encour-
agement and induced the farmers to
increase their fiocks, and spend their
means for the finest varieties OF
sheep and for their care and i'm
provement, and which finally made
the American woods the best i'm the
world, adapted to all the uses OF
manufactures, has added nothing to
tue cost Of wool, either to the man.
ufacturer or to the consumer. On
the contrary, that cost has been
greatly cheapened.
In 1867 the price of standard
grades of wool was fifty-one cents |
in 1870 it was forty-six cents, and in
1875 forty-three cents. There has
been steady reduction in price, un.
til now it is so low as to be temper
arily Improbable. The decay Of
sheep husbandry in the United
States would be a national calamity.
1t would place our manufacturers at
the mercy offoreign producers. This
is an industry which cannot be built
up in day. 1t has required years
of care and cost to reach its present
development, and sound policy de-
mands its continuance and encour-
agement.
Farmers throughout the Union
should Immediately address their
representatives in Congress, and in
sist that wool should not be taken
from the dutiable list where it has
been kept since 1924. This great
interest enriches every state in the
Union, and the country should rise
and repudiate the suggestion of any
committee of Congress which should
propose to remove the duty from
wool.-Americaa.

BEYOND THE GATE.

Two dimpled hands the bars of iron
grasped
Two blue and wondering eyes the
space looked through.
This massive gate boundary had been
set,
Nor was she ever known but to be true.
Strange were sights she saw across the
way
A little child had died some day before
And as she watched, amid the silence
hushed,
Some carried flowers. some casket
bore.
The little watcher at the garden gate
Grew fearful, hers such thoughts and
wondericgs were,
Till said the nurse "Come here, dear
child, weep not
We all must go. IT'S God has sent for
her."
If He should send for me''-thus spoke
the-cbild-

wait.
Though God has sent for me, cannot
come,
never go beyond the garden gate"
