On Jordan's stormy banks [ stand,
And cast Wishful eye
To Canaans fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
Oh the transporting, rapturous scene
That rises to my sight:
Sweet fields arrayed in living green
And rivers of delight.
BY this time we had reached the
middle of the river. AS the candidate
sank under the floods and rose again
under baptism in the name of the
Father. and the Son, and the Holy
Ghost. there rushed through our souls a
tide of holy emotion such as we shall
not probably feel again until we step
into the Jordan that divides earth from
heaven. Will those waters be deep?
VIII the tide he strong?
No matter it Jesus stays in with us.
Friends on this shore TO help us Off.
Hriends on the other shore to see us
land. See! They are coming down the
hills on the other side to greet us. How
we'll we know their step! How easily we
distinguish their voices From bank to
bank we hail them with tears and they
hail us with palm branches. They say
to us, lis that you, father?' SIS that
you, mothers" and we answer by asking,
SIS that you, my darling?" How near
they seem and how narrow the stream
that divides US!
Could we but stand where Moses stood
And view the landscape DER
Not Jordan's stream deaths cold food
Could fright us from the shore.

The one hundred and fifty million
pension business scares the PhiIadel-
phia Press, which says;
''fn his speech in advocacy of the
service-pension bill, which passed
the House on Wednesday last, Rep
resentative Grosvenor, of Ohio,
speaking for the measure, assured
the House that this bill, when to it is
superadded the prisoner of war bill,
which will be passed at once, will
add to the pension rolls of the goV=
ernment the names of 450, 900 per-
sons, and will extend that roll to
$50, 900 pensioners. 1t will produce
an annual expenditure of $3.50, ,OOO,-
900, or nearly forty-three per cent.
of the gross revenue of the govern
nent, an exhibition of municipal gem
erosity upon the part of this govern
ment such as has never been eqaIIed
by all of the civilized nations Of the.
world put together. This is certain
ly a magnificent showing, but is It q
just and proper use of the public
money! It is right that the MANNED
and feeble veteran Of the war should
be cared for by grateful people
But why should able-bodied men OF
means and position be authorized to
draw S8 a month from. the public
treasury because some time between
1861 and 1865 they served ninety
days in the army or navy of the
United States %

Wilson on Cleveland and Nc.
~ Comas.
[speeial 10 tlle wheelIng RegisLer.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May rep
resentative Wilson, who was promi-
nent at the recent Hagerstown ban
quet, said to the Register correspon-
dent to-day that the published re-
port that the banquet was boom to
Cleveland and Campbell for 1892,
was untrue and absurd. He also
characterized the report that Cleve-
lands visit to Washington was for
the epurpose of consulting with friends
in regard to inaugurating his boom at
Hagerstown as false. He said that
no man who knew Cleveland would
feel disposed to broach to him the
subject of booming him. 'tWith my
knowledge of the man, 1 should never
think of such a thing said Mr.. Will
son. "Cleveland is the. last man who
would listen complacently to any
suggestion looking to advancing him
by the methods known as booming. ("
Mr.. Wilson thought that the Repub-
licans are more interested in boom
ing Democrats than are the latter,
and added that the Democrats are
for the next Presidential contest.
The manner in which Republicans
iuggle with public interests t6 serve
the selfish interests of individuals
was most forcibIy illustrated to-day.
In 1864 General Early of the Confed-
crate army, levied an assessment of
1921, 800 upon the towns of Fred
erick, Hagerstown and Middletown.
in Western Maryland, as he alleged,
to reimburse Southern people of the
Shenandoah Valley, for devastation
of Union troops, the money was paid,
and for years Congress has been
asked to repay it, but claim was re-
peatedly rejected. At this session
McComas revised tie claim, but last
week the War Claims Committee unan-
imously ordered an adverse report
McComas pleaded with the Republi-
can members, telling them that he
had pledged his people to pass the
bill. He promised that in case of a
favorable report he would let, the
bill die on the calender that he
would never call it up. and in this
promise to help McComas TO q re-
nomination, the Republicans reversed
their former action and made favor
able report, thus deceiving and trff-
fling with the taxpayers of the three
towns.

Bankrupt Farmers.

The demoralized condition of the
farming industry in Chester county,
Pa, was demonstrated at West Ches-
ter Thursday, when the sheriff sold
fourteen properties on which he had
levied, eleven of which were farms
that few years ago belonged to
well-to-do husbandmen. No such
sale of farm lands by sheriff of
Chester county has been known for
many years, and it had decidedly
depressing effect upon agricuIturists
all through the country. A number
of the properties were sold to satisfy
first mortgages, which the farmers
were compelled to assume because of
the depression in the price of farm
products. The amount realized was
S4g, ,865. The Philadelphia Record
states that not only is the sheriff of
Chester county seizing property
almost daily, bat to escape his hand
farmers are making assignments in
surprising numbers. This is partic-
utarI9 the case in northern Chester
co6nty where during the past three
weeks, dozen we'll known farmers
have been compelled to assign. and
as many mote are on the brink of
failing.

For Sale Cheap to Foreigners
only.

The issue of the EnaiSseeTIsi1 and
1fining Journal for May 8 contains
SO closely-printed columns OF adver-
tisements of articles upon which the
manufacturers offer ''discounts foS
export only" The foreigner buying
any of these American manufactur-
/ ers gets, upon an average, about 80
cent. knocked off the wholesale prices
that We Americans pay. AS the ave
erage tariff rate upon like articles un-
der the existing law is about 45 per
cent. it appears that the foreigner
enjoys free-trade rates, while tho
home bnyer pays the duty. The far
mer will be concerned to know that
when he pays $40 dozen for ralSes,
the foreigner, according to the Jour
nal, pays but S3, discount Of. 40
per cent. Upon drills the discount
is 80 per cent. plows, so per cent.
scythes, 40 per cent. hatcbets, so
lper cent; table knives, 20 per cent.
shears, 60 per cent. feed cutters, 50
per cent. grinding mills, 20 per
cent. harn-door hangers, so per

90 per cent. yises, so per cent.
washtubs, 20 per cent. lawn NOW.
ers. 60 per cent. scroll saws, % per
cent. water motors, 40 per cent. :
nails and tacks, 60 and 40 per cent;
post-hole diggers, 40 per cent; oil
| stoves, so per cent. common farm
pumps, 40 per cent. wood screws,
80 per cent. screw drivers, 40 peS
cent. hammers, picks and adzes, so
per cent. planes, 40Per cent. Whit
fletrees, Do per cent. windmills, 40
per cent. These figures are signii-
that the mapufaeturers of the articles
named could sell to their .fellow-citi-
zens from % to 40 per cent. cheaper
than they do, and would do it but for
the tariff, which protects them against
competition. They prove also that
the protection is for the manufacture
er, not for his workmen. He gets
the tariff put high to enable him to
put his prices high, and so to pay
higher wages than the foreigner pays,
but here he is making his men pro-
duce at the low foreign prices for the
foreign market. Can he afford ID
pay his American labor high wages
while selling at these heavy discounts
to the foreigner? And is it fair for
him to sell to the foreigner at free
trade prices while making his neiet;
bor pay protectionist prices? The
American manufacturer owes debt
of gratitude to American farmers and
others who for so many years have
been encouraging him at their
cost. They ought surely to get ths
think, not the foreigner. One of two
things is proven by these disc6tints
either that olir manufacturers do
not need protection, or that they are
offering to sell to the hated foreigner
at loss. Nobody will believe that
they lose on their sales at the dis
counts of from % to 40 per cent.
given above. Even after making
these discounts they are gettihG, no
doubt. a good profit. What, then;
must be said of the profits they gouge
out of the home market? A charac-
ter in a popular comic opera contend
that sit is a glorious thing to be d
pirate king" No do1bt it is. But
