UNDER FIRST NAPOLEON.
One of the Last Survivors of
Waterloo Dies.

From Harper's Round Table.
Most of US nowaday when think
ing of the Napoleonio wars, consider
them as part of the remote past,
and it is difficult to realize that there
may be people still living who took
part in the battles of Marengo, Jera
and Waterlooo. But all of Napol.
cons soldiers are not yet dead, and
one man who fought under the great
French general is said to be living
now near Cleveland, Ohio. Whether
that is true or not, it is q fact that
only recently one of Napoleon's old
warriors died at Soldiers Home,
Kearney, N. J.
His name was Henry Mueller, and
he was born in Germany in 1894,
and when the French armies invaded
Prussia Mueller was fifteen years
old, with many of his oompatriots he
was drafted into the grand army and
marched off to Russis to fight the
Cossacks and the cold. He was at
Moscow, and tramped all the way
back in the disastrous retreat, suffer-
ing untold tortures and seeing his
fellow soldiers fall in the snow st
almost every step. But Mueller
kept up, and lived to get back to
Germany and to fight at the battles
of BAutzsn, Leipsic, and finally in
the great battle of Waterloo.
After Napoleon had been captur-
cd by the British and sent to the
lonely island Of st. Helena, snd the
great armies of Europe had been
disbsudsd, Mueller took ship and
sailed to the United States. Not
long after his arrival in this country
the Seminole and Mexican wars
broke out, and the old spirit OF the
soldier was reawakened in Mueller
and he went again to the front, this
time wearing the American uniform
and fighting for the American flag.
So much warfare had now made a
confirmed soldier of the German, and
so when the war of the rebellion
broke out in 1861 he again took up
his mus ket and fought through the
entire war.
One of the most remarkable things
Of all these exderiences is that Muel.
er was never seriously wounded, and
managed to keep himself in such
good health that he lived to be over
100 years old, and spent his last
days in peace and comfort in the
soldiers' home; smoking his long
Germsn pipe on the lawn under the
trees, and telling of his own personal
experiences, which, to most OF as,
are part of very remote history.

The "Home-Nrarket'' Bunco.


Mr.. Mckinley, in his speech of &C.
ceptancs, promised the farmers that
they shall again have the prosperity
OF "home market" if they will once
again vote to "proteot" the mills.
We have an object-lesson in this
close at hand. New Jersey had for
thirty years the full benefit of''home-
market" prosperity. 1t is but the

featuring cities of New York, Brook.

$893,OOO,0OO. And here is what
"protection's home market" has done

Another Example for Mckinley.

Another Example for Mckinley.
Mr.. Mckinley in his letter of &C.
ceptanee declared the Wilson law to
be a failure, among other reasons,
because it's duties do not cover the
difference in the labor cost between
this country and Europe. We have
already shown that in the great in
dustries of pig-iron, steel rails and
cotton cloth the existing duties are
more than the entire labor cost. Here
is another example:
The fifty eight stockholders of the
Window Glass Trust have been pro-
tected by q duty on foreign imports :

In 1896, Wilson tariff ....... 101
The price per half box Q8x24) in
this country was $500 in 1860 and
1913 in 1890. The trust kept the
price steady. The foreign price of
our imports was in 1890 per half box
$1.8O, and we imported 19,097,057
pounds, for which We paid;

So that to the original cost of the
half box of $3.50 there should be
added fine of $2.35, making cost
to land of $4.15, so that the trust
could market all it made at 1913. 1t
| would have sold at all at $4.12 but
for trust quarrel.
A duty of 10 per cent more than
covers the labor cost on melting:

The additional 1852 was the
'sfat" of the trust under the Mckinley
bill. This ''fat" has been reduced to
$6O,74 by the Wilson bill. Does Mr..
Mckinley really think that this
bounty should be increased? He had
the Peoples opinion on it in 1890
and again in 1892.

Popular majority does not always
mean an election, as was noticeable
when Mr.. Harrison was elected as
President, instead Of Cleveland, in
1888; but it remained for Mckinley
to receive the largest plurality ever
given to any candidate for President.
When Grant beat Greeley in 1872
his plurality reached the then unhesrd
of number of hree.quartsrs of mil-
lion. Mckinley has the million in
big, round numbers, with more votes
to spare than Mr.. Cleveland's plural

a game something like Monte" dealt by a
strange "Coon from Karina." Sam looked
on this game as an infringement on his vest
ed rights" and seeing numerous pickyunes
going into his rivals pockets. began walking
up and down near the dealer humming these
words to a certain tune:

For live in Old Virginny and Fighting

The dealer looked up and caught Sans
eye, and the look of determination therein,
coupled with the size and the redoubtable
name of the intruder, caused him to deter
mine to prOpitiate formidable adversary
If possible. So he commenced to shuttle the
cards and took up the refrain in these words:
Oars no more occasion for to sing dat song,
Oars no more occasion for to sing datsOng,

My informant used to say that a treaty

The bill which formed the topic at the fore
going interview was introduced in congress
by Hon. Edgar Wilson of Idaho, and provides
for government sampling works at North
port, Wash. Bonners Ferry, Idaho, and Wa
CO. Texas. and the only reason for the un-
friendly feeling exhibited by Mr.. Armstrong
seems to be that some other pla ,es ask for
government works without consulting Spo
kane. Now, Mr.. Editor after you have read
over carefully the interview and sized this
implacable adversary the secretary Of the
Northwest Mining Association, who seems
willing to subordinate the interests of the
three great states to the prosperity of one
city. if it is found necessary to prCpitiate
Spokane in order to have a matter of import
duties settled why. let them have a samp-
ling works. and let Mr.. Armstrong put it in

wishes. We can then say to him:
