OF yore,
In the youth OF the nation,
When the harvest had yielded its store
There was feast and oblation.
Or when danger had lifted its hand,
From the lips Of the living
There rang through the length OF the land
A Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving
Our home was a wilderness then
With the floods to enfold it;
To-day with It's millions of men,
We rejoice to behold it,
From the sea to the surge OF the sea,
We have all for treasure;
We are blest inthe promised to-be
In a manifold measure.
Wal flaunts not a red pennon now,
For the olive is regal;
Like birds that are WIN. on one bough
Sit the dove and the eagle.
The clash of the conflict that cleft
We In sorrow remember,
But the fire Of the great feud has left
In the ash scarce an ember.
For the fruit OF the time OF our toll;
For whate'er we have fought for;
Whether born of the brain or the soil
BE the need we have sought for;
Fer the gifts We have had from His hand
Who is Lord OF all living,
Let there ring through the length Of the Ian,
A Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving

COL. A. s. COLYAR
Of Nashville Makes a Protection Speech to Large Audience at
 Erswell Hall.

Col. A. 8. Colyar of Nashville, Tenn. addressed an audience of between 300 and 400 at Erswell hall last night, his subject being protection.
 He was introduced as a lifelong democrat by Col. A. K. Shepard, who also said there was not more loyal democrat to be found in the United States than either he or Col onel Colyar. He said Colonel Colyar mad come here to advocate protection and the election of MT. Aldrich, the republican nominee, to congress.
 Colonel Colyar did not once mention the name of Mir. Aldrich, nor MT. Underwood, i, though he criticised the conduct of those democrats who voted for the Wilson bill.
 He said the AGE HERALD of yesterday morning had called all manufacturers rob- bers, and he further said democratic papers all over the country denounced as robbers and thieves all manufacturers.
 He spoke of Birming gham's iron and coal interests and said iron could be made here as cheap or cheaper than anywhere else on the globe.
 He said he was yet democrat, but that he could not follow the democratic party in what he termed its departure from the true principles of democracy.
 The audience was composed of business and professional men mostly, there being but few laboring men present, and prob ably twenty negroes. The speaker was given ar attentive hearing, and the repub- licans present applauded at intervals.
 On the stage during the speaking were Col. A. K Shepard, MT. Thomas Seddon, Chairman Jerry Fountain, Capt. K. F. Kolb, D. F. Myers,r J. A. w. Smith and Col. c. Cadle.

A STRANGER IN FLORENCE WAS RELIEVED

STRANGER IN FLORENCE WAS RELIEVED
 OF ROLL OF MONEY.
 FLORENCE, Oct. 25.-[Special. l-Yester- day Julius Herman Wanenwelch arrived in Florence with S250. Last night he culii- vated jag. and while helpleesly drunk he was relieved of $40 by unknown parties. The robbery occurred at 12 o'clock on Court street, in the very heart of the city.
 Wanenw wetch had been drinking all the afternoon and had displayed his money to several parties. Shortly before 1, o'clock Officer Hill received message that the man had money and was likely to be robbed. Hill was about block away when he received the message. He started at once for the place, but the man had already been robbed. before he reached him. The officers heard him cry out for help. Wanenwetch was too drunk to give any particulars. His pants had been torn almost from him by the robbers in their efforts to get his purse from his pocket.
 All efforts to find out who the victim of the midnight robbery was proved futile until this afternoon. He would not even tell his name last night and this morning was too drunk to talk at all.
 This afternoon his valise arrived from St. Florian, and from letters and papers in it 1t was learned that he had recently come from California. Letters were found bear ing Austrian stamps, addressed to him at Baltimore, Asbeville, Sacramento and half dozen other places. He has been too drunk all day to give any information con- cerning himself, and is now locked up to get him sober. No arrests have been made

MORE GRATIFYING
Is the Treasury Gold Statement-Ten Millions in Pensions and Over Thirteen Millious in the
 Interior Saved.

WASHINGTON, Oct 25.-There was an other gratifying increase of the gold balance in the treasury today. It now amounts to $50, ,566 1901, an increase of $634, ,278 over yesterday. The treasury's cash balance was SIP, ,712, 451, against SIP, ,4o7, ,310 yes- terday.
 For several months the statistician of the United Stetes department of agriculture has been conducting an investigation re-. garding the acreage and product of cotton for the year of 1883. His estimates are as follows: Acres planted in 1893, 19, 525 900; num Der of bales harvested, 2 ,493, ,000. 4s
 According to the estimate prepared at the interior department $155, ,805, PTS. 83 will be necessary to carry on the work of that department, including payments for pensions, during the next fiscal year. The appropriation for this fiscal year was $169,- 569, 950. 03, and the saving for the next year IS estimated at S13, TAO, ,076. O2.
 The decrease Tn the estimates for pen- sions for 1894 is $l0, ,000, ,000. The decrease in pensions, it is. said, IS a decrease from the appropriation for the current year. That appropriation was made before the close of the last fiscal year and was for SIC, ,000 ,000 more than the amount actually expended last year. The esiimate for 1896 is no decrease from the amount actually ex pended last year, but is based upon tho idea that the expenditures will be station- ary for the wears 1894 1895 and 1895.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 25.-The Iron Review says today: Market conditions ara still furnishing arguments for both bear ish and sanguine views of the future. In raw materials the predictions of those who began in September to prepare the trade for a slump havo not been realized certainly not to the extent conceded by the less hopeful. Bessemer pig has held it's own since the recovery week ago of a portion of the ground that had been lost ,and $11 is the market price today. In foundry iron there is fair demand in some selling centers, with indications that consumption is increasing, though slowly. The chief southern producers are endeavoring to hold prices in territory in which southern iron has no competition. In other mar kets they are meeting the low prices made by northern furnaces. In Chicago, in pur- suance of their policy, local furnaces are not having the field completely to them selves. A sale of southern No. 2 soft was made there at $l0 recently. For shipments east some sales of No. 2 soft have been made by southern producers at $7.50 at furnaces. Eastern reports Indicate more sctive market the past week. While prices are weak more business has developed in that section. In finished material the ag- gregate of orders in the east is larger, though the promise of future business is not especially assuring. Several hundred tons of iron plates were taken in one Phil adephia order. Wrought pipe demand has caused some activity, also in skelp. There has been some improvement In buying of billets for eastern mills, Pittsburg sellers coming to basis of $17.75 to SIS, delivered >at Philadelphia. In most instances Pitts burg finishing mills are still well supplied with orders.
 Structural contracts from the east are helping out the large producers, but evil 0ences appear in the western market that sfme sellers are crowding for business.
 J Prices in general are thus kept on low Jscale, with an exception here and there. Plates have been advanced by one pro- ducer, though the general market is not firmer. Sheets are inactive. and the shut shortened the supply.

 Capt. E. A. Armstrong of the bark W. R. Hutchings, writing from Santos, Brazil i, to the New York Herald, pays this compli- ment to United States Consul H. c. Smith colored, whose home is in Birmingham:
 .Every ship leaving here, except some Of the Americans, is fined for the infraction of some regulation, owing to the strictness of the authorities. But every American ship that has been fined here has escaped paying, the fine being remitted through the activity and diplomatic tact of the United States consul MT. H. c. Smith. Capt. H. Kirby of the bark H. l.. iRouth was fined 500 milreis, but the consul had the fine remitted. Capt. H. Petersen of the bark Justin H. Ingersol was fined 200 mirels, and the consul had it remitted. Capt. Francis G. w. Petersen of the bark Mary G. Reed and myself of the brig w. R. Hutchngs had fines about to be re- corded against us, but the consul nipped the thing in the bud before they got the signature of the guardamore.
