any of it fully as well as the manufact-
urers can; and if they think the Republi-
can party is going to maintain high pro-
tectiye corps for their benefit, and that
the men who do the work in that party
are going to keep up the expenses of a
campaign out of their own pockets,
leaving them to reap the fruits of the
tariff policy without any deduction for
political expenses, they are very greatly
mistaken. l understand that in a gen
eral way the manufacturers of New En-
gland have been more liberal in their
contribution than those of Pennsylvania.
In fact, L have it from the best posi-
bic source that the manufacturers of
pennsylvania, who are more highly
protected than anybody else, and who
make large fortunes every year when
times are prosperous, practically give
nothing toward the maintenance of the
aScendency of the
REPUBLICAN PARTY.
of course. | shall not Violate what I
consider to be proper principle of ac-
ton, but. if | had my way about it l
would put the manufacturers of Penn
sylyania under the fire and fry all the
fat out of them. If the Mills tariff
bill comes to the senate there will be
some votes cast there which will open
the eyes of some of these people who
have, while gathering their millions,
treated the Republican party as their
humble servant.
These are strong words, and bitter,
but they are true, and it now remains
with you and your associates to deter
mine whether they are to be reiterated
aIter this campaign is over, and prOtec-
ton has, through your apathy, been
struck its deathblow. If you give us
the means to win the victory we will do
it. Are you willing. Yours, very truly,
JAMES p. FOSTER, President.

Flour-Market Record: The market was
dull with the usual call for supply of imme-
date wants. Dealers who might be expected
to buy large lots at about this time seem to
be holding off for the wheat market to settle
on some basis that will give reasonable as
surance of permanency. The reduced re-
turns from bran and shorts makes it imper-
ative that something should be added to
flour to take the place of the loss on mill
stuff. That item makes it still harder for
millers and dealers to get together on -four
prices. The reduced cost of freight to the
seaboard enables shippers to lay down flour
there at nearer the cost of it here.

Bran and Shorts-The bran market remains
dull at about S9.2 though some millers ask
more. Shorts less plentiful than bran, and
prices better sustained at about S11 for COM
mon lots.
Corn-The market was dull at 5O051c for
fair samples 0. t.
oats-Moving slowly at 33@36c for good
feeding stock o. t.
Feed-Mixed feed selling slowly at 1920
Hay-The market has been without much
stock, due to the late rains, and prices are high
and unsettled. Every Que that can is hold
ing back for increased receipts to reduce
prices. That offered that was good was dis
tributed about at S16@17.

know SO much about the battle itself

Three Very Old Women.

Aunt Matilda Riley, having COM
pleted her l20 years of age, continues
spry and active. Sne resides with
Henry McAtee. ~ BardstowB Ky. Rec
ord.
In 1SGi-65, says a writer in the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat, | was at the
mouth Of Red River, on the ram Samp-
son of the NJ ssissippi squadron in the
capacity Of surgeons Steward in
charge" In that capacity, and while
catering for the Ward-rnom mess,
! had occasion to 90 ashore frequent
ly, and naturally enough | found
plenty of practice among the blacks of
The Franklin estate on the east bank Of
the Mississippi River. Iwell recollect
on several occasions seeing an old
negress at the quarters, and on enter
ing into conversation with her found
her to be intelligent and quite spry,
and asked her:
''Aunty, how old are youP'
"Doctah / is $40 years old.
"Are You sure of that, auntyp'
yes, sir ! is. ! was a grand
mother during tho Revolutionary
War"
70 test the matter | asked her some
questions about matters connected
With the Revolutionary struggle, and
found all of her answers to be cor
rect, which made me believe that she
was not much out of the way She
gave me another genuine surprise.
however, vhcA, pointing TO another
eX-slayc, she made this query:
'Dociah, does you see dat galP"
Eyes, Aunty, do, p | answered.
"Well, doctah, dat gal is 120 years
old. | nussed her when she was II
babe"
Now here are two instances of
longevity that, l think, are unparal-
leled in any record of history. In al!
my interrogatious | could get no con-
tradictions from her, and | came to
the conclusion she was about right
Both women were active and in
good health, and bid fair 10 last at
least another decade. | left the Mis-
sissippi squadron at the close of the
war. and the last / saw of them they
were taking care of the house they
lived in and picaninnies Of other negro
women that were toddling around.
