The Field of Gettysburg

Is to the old soldier and the student the
most interesting Of all the earth's battle
grounds. Those who go to Washington
to attend the encampment Of the g. A. r.
i'm September, will have the best oppor-
tunity of visiting Gettysburg by taking
the line of the Michigan Central and the
Northern Central, which includes side
trip to Gettysburg either going or return
ing. For those who wish to return by
way of Philadelphia, all return tickets
will be honored either via the short line
or via Philadelphia, allowing stop-over at
Baltimore, Philadelphia and Harrisburg.
The stop at Philadelphia will permit OF a
side trip to New York and return at the
low rate of $500.
During the summer season the Michi-
gan Central gives the privilege Of stop
ping over at Niagara Falls at any time
within the life Of the ticket returning
upon depositing it with the ticket Agent
there, affording valuable opportunity to
see the beauties of the great cataract and
vicinity at leisure
Tickets are also sold to Washington
via Toledo and the lines south and east
therefrom.
The Michigan Central is the shortest
route, the best route, and offers induce
ments that no other line can give. For
any additional information apply to near
est Michigan Central ticket agent or to

1t would seem from the Pioneer
argument, that it is mighty def
cient in its knowledge in regard to
the difference between licensing
peddlers and protective tariff.
But if it will remove the blur from
its vision it will readily understand
that when peddler pays license
to sell goods in our city, the tax
payers are released to the same
amount. But when protective
tariff is tackled onto goods comm g
into this country, the amount OF
the tariff is added to the price of
the goods, and the consumer is
made to pay the tax for the privi-
ledge the foreigner has of selling
goods in this high wall protected
nation. Can the Pioneer dispute
lat fact?

To prove that the tariff is not a
tax many Republican newspapers
inadvertently admit that it is only a
little scheme whereby the purchaser
is allowed the unspeakable pleasure
of paying more for the tariff taxed
goods than such goods are actually
worth.

DRIVEN FROM HOME.
Pitiful Stories Told of Their sufferings by
Exiled Jews.

PARIS, September 9.-During the pres
ence in this city of the party of Jews
who had been expelled from Russia and
who have started for Canada their en-
campment was visited by the representa-
tive of the Associated Press, who de-
sired to see the actual condition of the
refugees. All ages were represented
old men, young men and babies, boys,
but German One old man said that the
order of expulsion had fallen like
thunderbolt among them, shattering all
their plans and hopes for the future.
For many years they had been working
hard to secure comfortable homes for
their children. All of sudden they were
forced to leave everything they had
cherished and begin pilgrimage
through unknown countries in search of
a spot where they could work with
security.
"A woman said: ''Look here, sir; see
nv child, how it has suffered. 1t was
only month old when those heartless
Russians chased us from our homes.
Would that God had taken it back the
day it was born. Who knows the hard
ships that are in store for that poor in
nocent creature?" Here the mother
cried.
None of the refugees knew what was
to become of them, and they looked
like band of doomed men awaiting the
execution of their sentence.
A man of about 20 years of age said
that he had been looking for work, but
that he had not been able to find any,
and that they all hoped that the Comite
Israelite de Renaissance, which had Sc
cured shelter for them, would send them
to South America. Sat least he added,
1--WE would have the satisfaction of going
in company of each other. and may be
over there in that free country we could
make new homes. If we stay in Paris
we will soon be separated. and as none
Of us know the French language our
hardships would surely be less bearable
than if we were all in South America"
An old woman showed some little pieces
of cardboard on which was inscribed:
"Good for sous worth of bread in any
bakery in Paris.' Others were orders
for vegetables. These cards had been
distributed among them by the commit
tee, and the refugees had had plenty to
