reyered his immutable justice the pur-
pose of the war.
The closing part of the address was de-
voted to lessons from the preceding his.
torical review. The great bulwark of the
nation was declared to be the common
school. Our educational system must be
defended from attack from whatever
quarter. With mems religion we have,
politically, nothing to do. But neither in
the name OF religion nor in any other
name must any be permitted to interfere
with an institution that is as sacred to the
American heart as was the Ark OF the
Covenant to the Hebrew of old. The
national vice of demagogy was next
touched on by the speaker. 1t was that
which buttressed slavery for SO many
years as it had existed. 1t is that which
is now preventing just and necessary
solution OF the immigration problem. AS
result the unwashed and semi-barbarous
hordes of Europe are welcomed here,
while the peaceable and inofensive and
in every way more enlightened and
worthy Cinnamon are driven out OF the
country. To demagogy we also owe the
imminent disorganization of our finance.
No more audacious scheme OF popular
robbery for the enrichment of the silver
barons of the country has ever been at
tempted as that we now see in actual OPP
Grafton. Oyer $120,000,000 worth OF Q. s.
Treasury promises TO pay gold have been
issued, and like promises continue to be
issued at the rate of $4,000.0OO every
month, for each dollar of which the Gov
eminent receives in silver, at current
rates, just tifty-eight cents. How long
could any business man continue in bust
ness at that rate-giving dollars worth
of goods for fifty-eight cents Has the
United States Government power to work
miracles? Who are the benefciaries of
this wholesale national plunder2
The address closed with the confident
expression that, Notwithstanding the
strain TO which our institutions are sub
jected, the common sense and patriotism
of the American people may be relied on,
under God, to preserve and extend the
renown of the Union.

The territory of Warren county in 1909
belonged to Burlington county, in l7l3
to Hunterdon county, in 1928 to Sussex
county. Warren county was created in
1724. The first pig iron made in the
county was at Oxford Furnace. and was
run March 9, 1743, just 100 years ago last
March. The first defined iron from the
pig was made in 1880. near where the
village of Paulina now stands.
Horace Greeley pointed out the value
of the pine barrens in South Jersey,
which are almost as unproductive to-day
as they were thirty years ago, when
Greeley spoke. He showed how these
sand wastes could be made to return
better results to the agriculturists than
the most productive lands in the West.
Lying between two great city markets,
New Jersey was so situated as to make
any land profitable that could be mad
arabic.
An experiment being tried in Mich
igan with barren lands is recommended
for the Jersey barrens. The Michigan
State Agricultural Bureau has found that
these lands can be made productive by the
use of spurry, grassy plant, and the fiat
pea, both of which grow freely in sandy
soil, are food for cattle, make the soil COM
pact by their roots, and when ploughed
under is as good fertilizer as phosphate.
The New Jersey State Board of Agri-
culture should take up this Michigan ex-
pertinent, which is already claimed to be
for the reclamation of the sand
wastes in South Jersey. That sparsely
settled section of New Jersey could be fill
ed with a large and industrious population
if means could be found to make the
soil tillable. The railroad companies,
which would derive large business from
that section if populated like other parts
of the State, are also interested in making
the land productive.
