A Lesson for Free Traders.

New York Press: Before taking
the plunge into free trade from the
heights of prosperity attained under
the thirty years Of protection, our
democratic friends would do we'll to
investigate the condition to which
British industry has been reduced by
the policy with which they have be-
come infatuated. According to the
London Economist British trade has
rarely been SO thoroughly depressed
as DOW, and the downward course
continues. Exports of British and
Irish products fell off about 800, ,OOO,-
900, or 8 per cent, in 1892, and imports
decreased in the neighborhood of $780,
900, 900, or about per cent. Idleness
is on the increase. From the iron
and steel, the live stock, the leather,
the silk, the cotton, the wool, the
coal, the chemical, and almost every
other industry comes the same story
of hopeless stagnation.
Singularly enough the very indus
try which democrats declare will be
especially benefited by free trade in
this country is most depressed under
that policy in England. Manufacture
ing may be depressed and mining
stagnant, but agriculture is in woe
full state. 1.-THE year 1922 says the
London Economist, twill long be re-
membered as one of the worst which
the British farmer has ever exper.
fenced. The losses have been great
er than any impoverished agriculture
can bear, and the result is that all
over the country farms are being
given up and all classes connected
with the landowners, tenants and
laborers-flnd ruin staring them in
the face" That is the picture Of
free trade disaster to which the Press
without partisan prejudice, but with
q sincere desire to preserve to the
American people the undisturbed en-
joyment of their present unparalleled
prosperity, invites the attention Of
the democratic party.

BURIED GOLD FOUND.
The sum OF %, 900 is Unearthed-A
Interesting Case.

Ano sum OF U6sOOO IL Cne0fthed-An
Interesting Case.
An interesting case of streasure
trove' has been tried in the circuit
court in county in Alabama. In
1880, Robert Wilson, well-to-do
farmer Of Clay county, was plowing
in his field and turned up $1,000 in
$40 gold pieces. The box which con-
tained the gold crumblcd into dust,
which showed that the money had
been buried for years.
John L. Wilson, relative of
Robert, brought suit for the money
in behalf of Wilson Harkins, who
has been dead for ten years, he being
Harkins' administrator. Wilson l..
Iarkins owned the farm on which
the money was found. In 1865 he
was prosperous farmer and had an
elegant mansion on the farm. On
the 9th of March, 1865, Wilson's raid
was made near this part of Alabama,
and an old negro, who was slave of
Harkins and who was the witness for
the plaintiff, swore that on the day
that Wilson's command was near by
he saw his master go out the door
with box under one arm and with a
bag that looked as il it contained
money under the other. The negro
said his master called to him to catch
the horses and carry them to a
certain thick woods and tie them.
He said his old master ran to a plum
orchard with the box and bag. The
box of money was found between the
roots of an old pear stump near the
plum nursery. The money found
was all in S2O gold pieces and they
bore date all the way from 1s4s to
1865, there being only three pieces
that bore the latter date. 1t was
proved that no one had been on the
premises since Harkins died who had
had that amount Of money.
The theory Of the plaintiff was
that Harkins buried the money and
that he told no one Of the spot and
when he died the secret died with
him.
The defendant contended that as
the money was dated from 1s4S to
1865, and as there was such block
ade during the early days of 1865 as
the war was going on, it would have
been next to impossible for q $50 gold
piece to have gotten from the mint
in Philadelphia to Alabama from
Jan. to March q, hence Harkins
could not have buried the money at
the time the negro saw HIM leave
the house. The decision. which was
in favor of the defendant, Robert
Wilson, is the talk of the COM
munity

The Story Of st,nnehsh..

The life-size statue of Minnehaha!
the Indian maiden which was exc
cuted by Sculptor Riordan, OF Dead
wood, and given to the woman's
Worlds Fair commission of this
state, has been completed and was
the other day forwarded to Chicago.
There is story in. connection. with
this statue which should be remem-
bered by all who expect to see the
statue at the Worlds Fair. Mr..
Riordan took for his subject Sioux
maiden named Ninnehaha, in con-
nectlon with whose life, and death
there is a romantic legend. Mime
haha was the daughter of Sitting
Bear and her birthplace is credited
to the Black Hills, out the family
moved to reservation in the east
ern part Of the territory near an
agency where United States soldiers
we're stationed. This was about the
year 1870. Mlnnehaha fell desperate
~ in love with Lieut.. Dupont, tall,
noble, stately looking fellow, and was
unhappy when out Of his sight. Du-
pont was married and did not recipro-
cate the love, and cndeav0red to i'm
duce her to so away, but she would
not. She could not comprehend the
matrimonial laws of the palefaces.
She requested to be made his servant,
that she could always be near him to
wait upon him, and to shield him
from the treachery of the Indians.
Dupont could not bear to see her sor-
rowful face, and thought IL he was
out Of the way she would soon forget
him and would dispel her mad passion,
SO he applied to be moved to Ft.
Laramie, Wyo., and the request was
g-anted. He then quietly moved to
his new station. He had been there
over year, SO the legend goes, and
had entirely forgotten Minnehaha,
when one night he was called to his
Office to see visitor. On entering he
saw female standing beside the fire.
place, her head bowed, and upon her
face was an expression of great sor-
row. 1t was Minnehaha, and she
told him that she had walked all the
way from Dakota to die in his pres

her away as she had but a few more
days to live. "My heart broke when
you left me-" she said. 81 was COM

IN REAL LIFE.
A Story which Reminds One or the
Dreams OF Ten-Cent Novelists.
George Doyle OF Chicago and
Robert Gedney Of Philadelphia, went
to the top of the Great Northern
hotel, sixteen-story building in
Chicago, to look over the city. They
stood for some time looking about.
and then Gedney gave a strange
laugh and grabbing Doyle began to
pull him about as If the cool breeze
exkilarated him to playfulness. Then
he said. "Hold my hands; I want to
look down. Doyle did SO, and after
Gedney had recovered himself, he
approached Doyle with baleful light
in his eyes and strange earnestness
in voice. constrasting unpleasantly
with his recent playfulness, and said:
"You've got to jump off this building
or 1 will throw you Off" With fear
full reality it came to Doyle's memory
that Gedney was several years ago
treated for a mild form Of insanity.
His first impulse, as a sickening
realization Of the situation came over
MIN, was to call for help. But he
saw it was useless, and tried to
temporize, treating the matter as
joke. will you Jump" flercely
screamed Gedney; and without watt
ing for reply he seized Doyle and
began to drag him toward the edge.
Doyle fought with the desperation OF
despair and the men staggered to and
fro over the roof. Robert Haslam.
who has an Office in the upper story
of the Monadnock building across
the street, saw the men struggling
and watched them, thinking it only
sport. He soon saw, however, that
it was a struggle of life and death,
and hurrying down rushed to the
hotel and informed Eden, the pro-
prietor. Accompanied by porter
the men started for the roof. On the
stairs leading to the turret they
encountered Doyle, bare-headed with
his clothes torn from his back. He
was very weak and excited and in q
fainting condition. Gedney was
walking calmly around the roof when
Eden put his head out the scuttle.
and pleasantly invited that gentle
man to come out and see the city.
But Eden declined, and finally
succeeded in getting Gedney to come
down for the purpose of taking q
drink. He was put into a room, and
when asked why he attempted to
throw Doyle of, seemed surprised,
but laughed and said it was only q
joke. Nevertheless he was locked
up and his father, Albert Gedney,
who is in Omaha, was telegraphed
for. When Doyle was able to talk he
gave graphic account of his fearful
fight for life, and it was learned he
only escaped by stategy. After the.
struggle had progressed for someS
time, feeling his strength almost
gone, he suddenly called to Gedney
to stop, and he would jump of;
st.pulating, however, that ne must
have few moments for prayer. He
stepped back and knelt down while
Gedney reverently bent his head.
Doyle watched him through his half
closed eyes and suddenly darted for
the scuttle and went through it like
a flash into the arms of his would-be
rescuers.

Now that by the will Of the late

out the project. It had long been
the desire of many Of the poets adj

Whittier as a shrine for literary pill
