CLEVELAND'S JOKE
New York Sun


IDURING the discussion of the
= Mckinley tariff bill in 1896
Thomas L. Bunting, then Repres
entative in Congress from Erie Co.,
N. Y, made a vigorous fight against
the proposed duty of 2 Is cents a
pound on tin and terne plate. These
articles of general consumption were
produced almost exclusively in Wal
es and in the counties of England
adjoining Wales. Mr.. Bunting was
a packer of canned goods at Ham
burg, N. Y, and he said that the
protective duty would compel con-
sumers of canned goods to pay an
additional cent on every can of
fruits, vegetables or meats they
bought. The House, nevertheless,
placed a duty on tin plate and the
Senate acquiesced in that action.
In 1898 party of British journ-
alists, headed by Sir William Long
of Sheffield, visited this country. In
the party were Lascellcs Carr, editor
of the Cardiff "Mail," Sir Morgan
Morgan and others. During their
visit to Washington they called on
President Cleveland. When he dis
covered that most of them we're
from Wales he facetiously remarked:
81 suppose gentlemen, that you
have come to the United states to
try to discover those mythical tin
plate mills which were to have been
established under the tariff bill
adopted by the last Republican Con-
gress."
The President and his visitors,
who were naturally in sympathy
with him in this instance, regarded
the remark of Mr.. Cleveland as
particularly brilliant joke, and they
continued to laugh over it as long as
they stayed in Washington.
When Lascelles Carr returned to
his own country he published little
book in which he expressed his as
tonishment at the prosperity which
he found everywhere in America
manufacturing towns. He was par
ticularly surprised that the mechan-
les of Youngstown, Ohio, were able
to own their houses in fee simple
and to furnish them with draperies
and carpets and even musical in
struments, such as pianos, which
were far beyond the reach of the
average British mechanic. He
stated in this little volume that he
was astonded at these evidences of
the overthrow of the first principles
of political economy, but he admit
ted that the prosperity existed, not
his own theoretical OPP
inions that protective policy was
to the interests of the work
ingmen.
1t is now nearly eight years since
the duty on tin plate went into eff
feet, and the results of those eight
years of American energy and enter
prise, backed by the American pro-
tective policy, are surprising alike
to the advocates and the opponents

day. when he was convalescent, he
was sitting grumbling. Suddenly his
nurse said to him: You ought to be
ashamed of yourself, Mr.. Tennyson;
you ought to be expressing your graft

bad illness by giving us something. by

and straightway wrote Crossing the

the Albany Argus. In the year 1915.
when Gov. Geo. Clinton resided in AL

house one cold morning soon after the
family had breakfasted. He was well
coined by the household and hospita-
bly, entertained. A breakfast was or
dered. aud the Governor. with his wife
and daughter who were sitting before
the fire employed in knitting. entered
into conversation with him about the
affairs of the country. which naturally
led to the inquiry AZ TO what was his
occupation.
The emotion and hesitation with
which the stranger replied aroused the
suspicion of the keen-sighted Clinton.
He communicated his suspicious to
his wife and daughter, who closely
watched his every word and action.
Unconsciouso this. but finding that
he had fallen among enemies. the
stranger was seen to takes omething
from his pocket and swallow it. Nine.

For Four Centuries.


There has Just been removed from
the spire OF St Sidwells Church. at
Exeter. "A yane with a history more
than usually interesting. It's career
began more than four centuries ago.
1t was in 1854 that Bishop Court
enay, of Exeter, heard that a great bell
at LANDAU might be acquired. and.
having a passion in that direction, he
journeyed to the South Wales town
and managed TO secure the monster IN
exchange for five smaller ones. lie
successfully removed II to Exeter, and
had it hoisted to the top of the north
ern tower of the Cathedral.
The tower. however. had not been de-
signed to accommodate such a campan-
illogical giant, and room could only be
found for it then by removing por-
ton of the roof. To protect his treas
ure the Bishop had erected over the
tower a spire OF oak, covered with
lead aud be surmounted this by
yane. the conspicuous feature Of which

duty of telling the residents of the
Ever Faithful" city which way the
wind blew. During the long spell of
service it looked down on some strange
and moving sights. for the period COW
cred by its lofty exertions was rich in
history making incidents.
In 1892 the spire was taken down,
and the Peter bell was lowered In the
tower far enough to allow the original
level of the roof to be reverted to. The
spire was regretted on the tower of
st. Sidwell's Parish Church-a tower,

For sixty years the old copper rooster
rested from his labors in the Cath
edral store, but in 1912 ii was mounted
on the st. Sidwell's spire. and there it
remained until few days ago, when
ii was removed preparatory 10 the de-
molition of the spire, which had been

that there is another century of active

from the lock brought another frown

''Hannah's getting Careless" she
said, as she stepped into the kitchen
She sat down a moment before the fire
in the darkness, then rising, lighted a
lamp and went slowly up the stairs tic
put away her bonnet and shawl.
She came into her bedroom, placed
the light on her bureau and turned
about toward the bed. She gave a sud
den cry, not a shrek, but something
between a moan and sob and put he1
hand to- her side. But after a still.
moment, she went to the bureau, picked
up the lamp in a steady hand and
walked grayely to- the bedside, looking
over the little white figure from the

lying sick and still-"and then I'll die
and go to Heaven" She rose now and.
stepping to the window, peered be-
tween the dusky festoons at the blue
sky, as II she expected to see the angels
already descending to bear. her away.
At last she went quietly down the
stairs; she must find the flowers first,
and to 60 out of doors by the back way
she must pass through the kitchen.
The girl was at the stove frying dough-
nuts, and looked up as Ruth entered.
"Hullo," she said; shave a dough-
nut?"
These doughnuts we're not for the in
mates of the farm, and it was a rare
honor to be offered one. For a mo-
ment Ruth forgot her errand, it was so
warm and sweet While she was eatr
ing it, standing close by the fire, the
girls mother, who was sitting in the
kitchen, spoke:

easter" said the girl, oracularly,,
balancing doughnut on the end of her
fork, "is the day when Christ rose from
the dead, as all the dead shall rise.''
Ruth, as she stood in the corner, ate
her doughnut and pondered over the
words.
II guess to-morrow'lI be the best
day to die in," she decided, watching
with hungry eyes as the girl bore the
pan of doughnuts off to the matron's
private larder; ::'that's the day the dead
shall all rise.''
The next morning brought Easter a
fair and glad day for many as well as
for little Ruth; for was not this to be
the day on which she should rise to her
mother in the skies? She went out
into the garden directly after breakfast
to gather some flowers. After much
searching Ruth discovered in a swamp
far from the house, a pussy-willow
bush, with the catkins clinging gray
and soft to the shining brown twigs.
She picked great bunch of these and
bore them home in triumph. Suddenly
she remembered something; her moth
er's lament the night before she lost
all knowledge of where she was, that
she must die in the poor farm; how bad
she felt about that. 81 don't think
mamma'd want me to die here" she
murmuredy with a little sob of disap-
pointment in her voice.
It was at dusk of that Easter day
