most pathetic. The beauty of Brooms,

struggling against strong desire to
do so, took it ashore with me in the
afternoon.
Tom was calmer after that; he
seemed stoically resigned. He refused
to take any more thin broth, and de-
manded something to eat" His irri-
liability was sign of Improvement in

might have been mistaken for anger.
One morning about two months
afterward he surprised every body by
calling for his clothes and the crutch
that had been provided for him. Hav-
ing been up in a chair several times,
we assisted him into his clothes, and
had the satisfaction of seeing him tot

That afternoon he received letter
from Brooms and this is what it said:

REPUBLICAN MATTERS.
THE MEANING OF PROTECTION.
"whatever Happens This Country Is to
DO Its Own Work.,

"Whatever Happens This Country Is to
DO Its own Work"
The Americus Republican club OF
Pittsburg made the nation its debtor
by giving an opportunity to Mr..
Reed, who always will be Tom
Reed" even as Mr.. Lincoln always
will be .Abe Lincoln" in the
thoughts and memories of the peo-
pie. MIR. Reed is not the kind of a
man who permits great opportun-
ity to pass unimproved. And the
opportunity was improved by him to
the uttermost.
Here" in substance said Mr..
Reed, 'is country made rich by
nature, needing only the efforts of
associated man to develop it's
riches; a country, also, in which the
voice of the people is heard more
plainly and their power felt more
quickly than elsewhere. The riches
of the country have been developed
to wonderful degree under policy
of protection. Their development
now is checked by threats of aban-
donmcnt OF that policy. The people,
having seen and felt the bad results
of such a check, have spoken in
Rhode Island, in Ohio. in Pennsyl-
Vania, in Massachusetts,, and in every
city and town whore elections have
been held Their voices have been
all but unanimous in condemnation
of Democratic policy. Yet, in de-
tiance OF these expressions OF opin-
ion from the Pacific states, where
Colorado held sixty-siX elections and
gave but one Democratic victory,
| from the Middle states and from the
Atlantic shore, congress, which pro.
fesses to represent the people, keeps
stosdily at its work of destruction of
American industries. The commit
tees charged with framing tariff leg
| islation refused to receive dele
| cations OF American wage earners
and of American employers OF labor,
but have welcomed Populations of
alien residents who are agents OF
alien manufacturers.
What this nation needs is. as Mr.,
Reed well says, "repressive, but de-
veloping craftsmanship. What we
need now is that the doctrine shall
be firmly established that whatever
happens this country is to do it's
own work. When that once is fixed
in our own minds all details of tariff
will be easy of arrangement" The
Chicago Inter Ocean holds that the
whole body of political economy as
applicable to the United States Of
America is comprised in these preg-
nant words.
He is bad manager of private
finance who employs others to do
what his own force can do as well
and cheaply. And cheaply is u rela-
tive word; $40 is Il cheaper price
to him whose pay is $25 per week
than SIS is to him whose pay is $40.
So long as the wage fund is kept
relatively higher than the difference
between wages and cost of living
here and elsewhere, so long the
prosperity of this country will be
pre-eminent. 1t is feast receding
from pre-eminence because of the
probability of abrogation of the pol.
icy that has created and maintained
large wage fund

How They Explain 1t.

The stress in manufacture, com
merce and business affairs in general
since the pinch began last year has
been only equaled by the strain on
the Democratic mind caused by the
terrible necessity for explaining the
trouble without placing tho respon-
sibility where it belongs-upon the
free-trade legislation. We were
assured at first that the whole
difficulty arose from silver purchases
under the Sherman law.
Now our Democratic and mug
wump friends are driven to declare
that McKinleyism has brought on
the prevailing distress. They
see it clearly and fly into fit
of scornful Indignation when any
one ventures to question the validity
OF their judgment-just as they
did year ago if anybody took issue
with them on the proposition that
the repeal Of tho Sherman act would
restore prosperity. Their present
contention is that this country
groans under the awful burden of
the Mckinley tariff and OF course
can not get relief till the protective
system is wiped out Moreover, we
are solemnly told that the people
favor tariff destruction; for, look you.
didn't they elect Cleveland and a
Democratic congress in 1922 Moth
ing has happened since then, If we
take the word Of these candid gen.
tlemen, to warrant the opinion that
there has been a change of sentiment
on this question. Reminded OF the
crushing defeats the Democracy has
suffered in state and local elections
everywhere during the past six
months, they attribute all reverses
to the income tax. Popular opposi-
ton TO the Wilson Voorhees, econo-
mic insanity has nothing whatever
to do with this uprising--O, no!
TO say that our esteemed Demo
cratic and 1ndependent" friends
who talk thus are wooden-headed
would be not only discourteous but
false. The trouble with them is that
the light of their intelligence is hid
den under bushel OF dishonesty

any newspaper man or set OF men
can keep up this stultifyIng exhibit
tion of obstinacy in the wrong -

would not be an obstacle in the course
which ships entering or leaving port
were obliged to take.
Tom Immediately went to his duties
in the engine room, where he met with
an accident that nearly cost him his
life At nearly the foot of the iron
hatchway he slipped and fell, so that
his left foot caught in a rapidly re-
volving crank. Before he could throw
his arms over his shoulders and grasp
an iron rod to extricate himself, his
leg was horribly mangled just below
the knee by another revolution of the
crank. He tainted away before help
could be summoned.
After Tom had been carried, uncon-
scious, to the deck, / set about in the
absence of the surgeon, who was
ashore, to check the flow of blood from
the wound by twisting handkerchief
around the upper part of his limb with
a tournlquet, When the surgeon APP
peared on the scene he assured me that
l had saved my friends life, though the
leg must be amputated at once, he de-
clared as he gazed on the poor man
groaning with agony.
And against all of Toms protesta-
tions he was borne into cockpit and
laid on table. The Surgeon insisted
that there was'not even time to admin
lister ether. Ihave forgotten how many
men were required to hold him. TWAS

These remarks were made by Tom
bercorn on the deck of an American
ban of-war anchored in an eastern
ort. We spent many afternoons, as
Id friends will, in reminiscent con-
ersation. l had been cruising about
he world nearly three years before it
occurred to me that was tired of it.

enforced by Tom Abercorn's brusque
persuasion, had led me into the service

There was some reason to believe
hat Tom was also growing dissatis-
FED, though he seldom limited any
thing to that effect. He was rough
hnd-ready fellow, and the life of the
bea was more suited to his nature than
TO mine. While / was at college,
breaking down a naturally delicate
constitution by hard study, he was in
himachlne shop, developing an iron
muscle that 1 had occasion to envy
more than all the erudition l had &C
Auired.
But while Tom was physically
adapted to cope with ocean vicissi-
tudes, there was magnet that ever
drew his thoughts ashore. He was
engaged to be married. The father of
his inamorata was large and wealthy
broom manufacturer in Philadelphia,
and Tom always spoke facetiously of
the young lady as Brooms In fact,
that was the nickname by which she
was called by the members of her fam
lily and her most intimate friends.

serve the double purpose of muoing
his cries and furnishing him some thing

At last it was over, and then they
gave him opiates. From the time his
wound was bandaged / became his
nurse and watched over him through
the long days and nights as though he
