THE LINCOLN GRAVE.
Appeal of Veteran Organizations for
Donations of One Dollar Each

When President Mckinley was informed
that the grave of the mother of Abraham
Lincoln, in Spencer county, was in a neg
lected condition he expressed the opinion
that the people of Indiana would gladly
assume the care of so sacred q relic, and
wrote Governor Mount, who promptly con-
suited prominent citizens and the represent
atives Of the soldier organizations in re-
gard to the proper course to take. The
outcome was a conference of the heads Of
representatives of the veteran organizations
and their auxiliaries and prominent citizens
of Spencer county in the Governors rooms
AS has been announced, this conference
formed THE Nancy Hanks Lincoln Me-
mortal Association" under the laws of In
diana, the object of which is to Improve
and beautify the grounds in Spencer county
where the remains of the mother of Abra-
ham Lincoln are buried"
The grave of Mrs. Lincoln is on a half
acre lot decided to the commissioners of
Spencer county in trust for the United
States. Several years since Mr.. Peter E.
Studebaker erected a suitable monument
to mark the grave, which is surrounded
by an iron fence The lot is covered with
tangle of underbrush so thick that it is
with the greatest difficulty the grave can
be reached. Many letters which Governor
Mount has received express the opinion
that the ground should be cleared and a
road opened so that visitors can reach the
spot with carriages. These letters voice the
general sentiment of the people of Indiana.
Those who revere the memory of Lincoln
in Indiana will not permit the grave of his
mother to be neglected.
1t is not the purpose of the association to
raise any other monument than that which
Mr.. Studebaker has raised, or to make any
other expenditure of money than is neces-
sary to clear the grounds, provide ap-
proaches and insure the care of the same
year after year. That this may be DONE
and to have a small fund to insure the care
of the lot in after years, few hundred
dollars are necessary.
To secure the money needed the associa-
ton voted to ask for a general contribution,
no single contribution to be more than 81,
to be forwarded to George C. HIT business
manager of the indianapolis Journal, who
will acknowledge contributions by publish
ing in that paper the names of the DONORS
and turn the money over to the association
treasurer, Captain Horace Mckay.
At an early day the executive commit
tee of the association, of which Governor
Mount is chairman, will visit Lincoln City
and confer with the commissioners of Spen-
Ger county as to what shall be done. In
the meantime it IS earnestly hoped that
patriotic people in all parts of the State
will interest themselves in soliciting and
forwarding contributions. Papers in the
different counties are requested to call at
tention to this announcement.

chosen by the author is that when the

There was great rejoicing in England
when the Wilson-Gorman tariff passed. The
bill passed Congress Aug. 13, 1894, though
it did not become law till Aug. 49, The
Journal of Aug. 16 contained the following,
dated London, Aug. Is:
The wooden manufacturers of Bradford
Leeds, Huddersfield and Halifax, where
strikes are abnormally great and where
business has been stagnant for years, eX'
pect a great revival of business as a result
of the tariff settlement in the United
States. The Pail Mall Gazette this after
noon says: Bradford kept aloof during
the vicissitudes of the Wilson bill for fear
of prejudicing the issue. But now that it is
finally accepted great rejoicings have
broken forth.
There will be no rejoicings in the manu-
featuring districts of England over the

That is, it is encouraging for those who

Whenever the tariff is low wages are low.
a low tariff means low price for the
products of the farm, and when the farmer
gets little money for his produce no one
can afford to pay protection prices for man
ufactured articles. That necessitates cheap
er production. and this means a cut in
wages. In due time the new tariff will cause
an advance in wages A leading feature
of the new era of prosperity on which the
county is about to enter will be better
prices for farm products and higher wages.

The SCIENCE OF Economics.

Prof. Bullock, of Cornell University. a.
student in the science of economics, is the
author of work entitled introduction to
the Study Of Economics He designates
it modestly IAN introduction only to
economic science" but it is really a pro-
found study of underlying principles The
opening chapters treat of leading facts in
the economic history of the United States
and form an excellent introduction to the
study of economic theory. The subjects Of
consumption value and distribution are
treated with reference to the results of
most recent economic discussions. Consid-
eraoie attention is given to such practical
problems as the money question. nnonOno-
lies, the tariff and labor-aL of which are
discussed with reference to American con-
dltlonS and experience. The monetary his
tory of the United States occupies a num-
Der OF pages. On all controverted questions
Prof. Bullock aims to present fairly the
leading arguments of both Sides stating
his own conclusions in such q way as NOT
to offend or irritate those who may reach
different ones. While his views upon BIZ
metalltsm, socialism, arbitration, capitals
tic monopoly, labor laws land, naturaliza-
ton, etc, may not coincide with those
of all his readers, yet it will be observed
he treats all with fairness. The work is
not only broad in scope, but admirable in
method, and sound and clean cut in argu-
ment. Special reference is maintained
throughout to American conditions and the
workings of economic principles are amply
illustrated by experiences in our own coun-
try. The book is aimed for use in the class
room, and especially adapted to that pur-
pose, but it will be found equally instruc-
tive to the general reader desiring to mas
ter the arguments pro and con for the va
rious theories now being discussed A
strong feature of the work is copious ref
erences. Every chapter has it's index Of
literature at the end there is a good general
index at the close of the volume. Boston

English Cottage Life.

Many Americans who have to do their

travel have dreamed of the delights Of
living in a rented furnished house in rural
England. Imagination gilds and refines
into fairer than palaces homes in a foreign
land that can be here furnished for $40 or

enchantment to the view, yet it possesses
real attractions. This kind of life, as lived

experiences of people and places, is charm
