Old Times.

Ed. Register-In the fall of 1S41 OF
~, my father and We boys built nice
hewed log school house in what is now
Mr.. Delano's grove. We put in two
large windows-one on the south side
and one on the west. The door was
on the east side facing the road. Or
the north side we made big fireplace
and chimney. We made desks al
around the room against the wall, with
nice seats after the old home style.
We plastered the cracks between the
logs with white clay. When finished,
it was a real warm, sunshiny, cosey
room. As all of my sisters were small
when we came to this country, they
had been to school but very little, and
as there were about a dozen other
boys and girls who needed more school
ing. father said one morning to broth
err Cyrus: Gas you have got that sore
hand and can't work, you go and tell
all the children you can find to come to
school, and it will cost them nothing;
you can't work, and you may as we'll
use some of your education in helping
others.''
We boys had ha1 a good education
as far as the English branches and for
that day. So he got about twelve or
fifteen scholars together and taught the
first free school in this Valley, when
we had got the house done.
Mr.. Van Doren gave notice that he
would give lecture on certain night
at the Arcadia High School House,
and invited all the old and young to
come and hear him. Mr.. Van Doren
was one of the finest takers and lectur-
ers ever listened to. When the night
came for his lecture the house was
crowded, and he gave us a splendid
lecture on education and its uses.
After he had finished his lecture, he
proposed we form a lyceum; that all
persons, old and young, should take
part in the exercises, and that each
be required to put in some
question, either written Or verbal, to
be discussed in order. / think | never
saw man that could answer and ex-
plain as many subjects as he could.
Well, we had been having most
delightful weather all the fall and
early winter, until the last of January
Dr. along in February. 1t had been so
warm we did not think it would ever
De any colder. But one day it came up

Of Robert Burns.

Sweet from the fields of Ayr there come:
across lone leagues of sea,
From Scotland's hills and wales and rills
wonderous melody;
And sbanks and braes and streams around
take on a look of pride
And sing of ''Annie Laurie' still, and "Ta am
O'Shanter's Ride!''
The seagales sing of him; the hills are
greener for his sake,
And where his plowshare turned the clods
rare melodies awake;
And not mountain daisy lifts its lips to
drink the dew
But feels the minstrel's presence in the paths
his footsteps knew.
The cotter's "wee bit ingle" is ''blinkin'
bonnily;''
And "Duncan Gray'' still comes to WOO, and
"Maggie's" heart is free;
And Scots that did with Wallace bleed, fare
to the fight once more,
While "Death and Doctor Hornbrook' dance
to music from of yore.
Still lives the minstrel, shrined in hearts
whose chords he set to notes
Wild as the nightingale's when high to
heaven singing floats;
Still lives, to Scotland's name and fame,
above Times ruined urns,
The glory, shining from the sod where
sleeps her minstrel-Burns!

The John Sherman Policy.

The Exchanges, a little daily printed
in the shadow of Wall street attributes
to Mr.. Carlisle statement which we
have not seen before. It is a very
queer statement. and while it chimes
in with the financial policy Of the ad-
ministration, we shall not do Mr.. Car
Isle the injustice to accept without
question the statement OF the Er-
changes that he is the author of the re-
mark attributed to him.
For the Information of our readers,
however, we reproduce the statement
just as we find it in the little Wall
street daily. 1t is as follows:
John G. Carlisle is satisfied that no
complications, legal or other, can take
place because of the bond issue, and he
says, '.Unless congress acts promptly,
the treasury, as the needs arise, will
repeat its action in issuing bonds. We
have authority and the tactics that are
resorted to by populists and others who
are seemingly opposed to sound fl
nancial policy, will not swerve to the
treasury officials from their business
like course" This is good, plain,
wholesome talk, and if anything could
put the quietus on anarchistic and
communistic, not to say socialistic
principles, this should.
..Populists and Others is very ex-
cellent-good-even better than Ham
let's ..nobled queen" which attracted
the wise and scholarly appreciation OF
Polonious. ..Populists and Others is
a phrase that will bear analysis, and
when it is picked to pieces and put un-
der a magnifying glass, it will be found
that ..others" represents the whole
body of the people, who have not sim
gle interest in common with the money
sharks Of Wall street and the east.
The Democrats, the popu1ists, and all
the people not bound to the money
power Of the east are opposed to any
financial policy that has the approval
and support of John Sherman.
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1894-02-01

The policy Of robbing the people for
the benefit OF the banks and the money
sharks may be described and labeled
"a sound financial policy" from now
until doomsday, but the description
and the labelling will not make it any
thing but an unsound and q dishonest
financial policy, nor prevent the peo-
pie from resenting and protesting
against the results of it.
The .'sound financial policy" which
involves the demonetization of silver,
the establishment of the single gold
standard and the issue Of bonds, is the
policy that for twenty years has been
championed by John Sherman and the
other Republican leaders. Robbery IL
''sound financial policy" from the
standpoint of q highwayman. and it is
just as sound and just as honest as the
financial policy Of John Sherman,
which robs the people-the taxpayers
-of the country for the benefit OF the
moneyed interests of the east. That
is the doctrine held by those who are
Democrats, and it is the doctrine OF all
who have any genuine concern for the
welfare of the people.
The little Wall street daily puts q
literal Interpretation on the remark
which it attributes to Mr.. Carlisle.
All the people who are opposed to tho
sound financial policy" Of John Sher-
man, which robs the taxpayers :or the
benefit of eastern money sharks are
communists and socialists.
But the wall street organ is utterly
mistaken it it supposes that the alleg-
I'd remark OF the secretary OF the
will put a quietus on those
who have the right to demand justice
and fair play.
Such remarks and such comments A.
hose we have quoted from thc Er-
;haages are calculated to unite and
narmonize the people in their efforts
% free themselves from the oppression
II the money power.-Atlamta Consti-
s1tion.

She said, 81 won't do it,
just then the south end of the old
mare went up, and like to have thrown

a yell that girl threw her arms around

a Fat Infant.

John E. Searles, Secretary of the
Sugar Trust, is quoted as remarking
eff the free sugar schedule passes the
Senate it will mean ruin to the sugar
refineries of this country. The in.
dustry cannot survive in the United
States unless it is protected by tariff
which will at least approximate the
difference in wages between this coun-
try and Europe and the cost of laying
the foreign product down at the sea-
| board. We cannot compete with
foreign countries without protection in
| in one form or another y
Let us see what is the actual condi-
ton of this mewling infant industry
which must die unless it is fed with
protection pap. Fortunately the fig
ures are at hand. A writer in the
World who thoroughly examined the
record of the Sugar Trust made public
all the facts few weeks ago. When
the trust was formed the whole capital
of all the refineries taken in, including
that of Spreckels, was ST, $3.50, 900 and
the total value of their plants was
$10,O00,000. The closing or dismant-
ling of some of these refineries blotted
out capital to the amount of 81, 10, 900
and plant to the value of So, 100, 900.
The capital and plants value necessary
for the trust to do business, therefore,
combined reached only $13,440,00O
and $7,74o,Ooo.
Working capital was obtained by an
issue of bonds to the amount of $40, ,OOO,-
900, and then $75, 200, 900 of stock was
distributed among the promoters and
owners of the trust. This enormous
issue of stock represented not one dol
lar of outlay. 1t was clear gain to the
stockholders based upon profits to be
made not by legitimate business meth
DDS, but through the taxation of the
people. That much was absorbed from
the pockets of consumers by means of
a protection sponge.
1t is not the cost of production, nor
the wages of American workmen which |
stand in the way of competitor with |
foreign refineries, but the robber |
greed of the trust. The infanti is bulg-I
ing with fat. The ruin which is pre-
dicted as a consequence of removing
the tax on refined sugar is nothing
more than the cutting down of profits
in the shape of dividends on millions of
stock, wrung from consumers
by a Government decree in the form of
a tariff law.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Murder and Salvation.

1t is a strange and startling thing
that the promise Of salvation should in
any way seem to encourage the crime
OF murder. Yet what is one to think
on reading the replies of the woman
Jennie Liggett, when she was ques-
toned by Capt. Joycep
Don't you know" asked, Capt.
Joyce. ''that the man Is dead and that
you have committed murderp"
II don't care, she replied; s.if he's
dead let him stay dead"
"Are you not sorry for what you
have done?'
49,, Yes, I'm sorry for him because he
..Are you not afraid you'll be hang
''Oh no; | amt sorry for myself.
Even If do hang won't have to die
in my sins I've got time for repent
ance."
Nothing can be palmer than that
this wretched creature, believing at
least her soul would be saved. plunged
the knife into her companion. Her
regret that he had died in his sins in
dicates that she has been reasoner
for others as well as herself; but the
belief that he would be punished eter-
nally does not appear to have stayed
her hand for an instant.
This belief that repentance, how
ever late, is certain to save the soul,
has. no doubt. Influenced many other
offenders who have not gone SO far as
to commit murder. In the face Of
death only do these persons recognize
their wrong-doing. Can such q re-
pantance be genuine? IL 1t anything
resembling repentancep Is it not
merely device TO escape punishment,
bringing with it nothing Of regret, and
deceiving the one who practices 1t?
It would almost secm~ that II this
had feared instant punish
ment for her crime it would not have
been committed, for she would have
hesitated to accompany her victim to
the eternal torment to which she sup
poses he has gone. It is common for
hose whe commit murder to assure
of heaven when they are
IN the scaffold, but not many have
given evidence of having early weighed
