THE SARGEANT'S GOLD.
II Never Reached the could Folks mt
EQme.v


Surgeon General Sternberg told
good story once Of an experience lie
had in the civil war. He said that
when he was going into the battle Of
Bull Run the Irish sergeant major of
his regiment came to him with big
bag Of gold coin Weighing three OF
four pounds and said:
Doctor, l know that I'm to be kilt
entirely, an l want you TO take care
of this money an see that it gets %
the ould folks at home"
There was no time to demonstrate or
to make any other arrangement, and,
dropping the bag into the surgeons
lap. the Irishman hurried away to his
place at the head Of the column. All
through two bloody days DR.. Stern
berg carried that bag of gold with his
surgical instruments and it was bur-
den and an embarrassment to him. He
tried to get rid of it, but couldn't find
any one willing to accept or even TO
share the responsibility, and he
couldn't throw it away for the sake OF
the could folks at home"
Toward the close of the second day
the surgeon was taken prisoner. He
lost his surgical instruments and his
medicine case, but chung to the gold,
and, making belt of his necktie and
handkerchief, tied it around his waist
Iext to his skin to prevent its confisca-
ton by his captors. During the long,
hot and weary march that followed the
goIdpieces chafed his flesh, and his
waist became so sore and blistered as
to cause him intense suffering, but he
was bound that the "ould folks at
home" should have the benefit of that
money and by the exercise Of great
caution and patience managed to keep
it until he was exchanged with other
prisoners and got back to Washington.
There he found his regiment in camp,
and one of the first men to welcome
him was the Irish sergeant major, who
was so delighted to learn that the doc
tor had saved his money that he got
drunk and gambled it all away the
first night.-Chicago Record

The Farmsr md the Thrift.

Congressman Gilbert, OF Kentucky.
recently propounded a series of ques-
lions to the American Economist, OBJ
viously framed with the purpose OF
showing that the American farmer Is
the loser and in no way the gamer
through the operation of protective
tariff. The Bourbon querist doubtless
supposed that he was sending In some
hard nuts to crack. 1t did not prove 50.
The subject also attracted the atten-
ton OF the San Francisco Chronicle, q
paper noted for Its logical treatment OF
tariff matters. The Economist sums
up the views OF Its San Francisco con-
temporary as follows:
l. That Increased production AMI
lower prices have invariably attended
the operation OF a protective tariff In
the United States.
2. That the farmer has shared and Is
now sharing In the advantage OF the
decreased prices OF manufactured arti-
Giles OF common use. AZ

tries which have made the United
States the foremost manufacturing ma
ton OF the world. the farmer has had
and now has the advantage OF a tnear

Stunning power for his. farm products.
and Is thereby saved the cost Of trans
porting to foreign countries a vast ati-
consumed surplus Of agricultural pro-
duets. Decreased home consumption Of
farm products throughout the indus
trial depression OF the Democratic free
trade period OF 1S93-1Ss7 decreased
prices OF farm products to such an ex-
tent as to innict upon American farm
ers an aggregate loss OF about $1,000
OO0.O 900 during those terrible four. years.
4. That the existing tariff on farm
products prevents CANADIAN compete
tlon in cereals and Mexican competition
In cattle and thereby dlminishcs the
surplus which would otherwise rcmutn
for export. ~. q
6. That 1t Is Impossible to promote
the growth OF n manufacturing Industry
