FREE-TRADE TRUST SLOGAN.
Some Things Which Intelligent Voters
VIII Remember

VIII Remember.
Our evening contemporary, referring
to the Commercials" article on trusts
in Thursdays edition. asks:
why not acknowledge that unjust
protective tariff laws enacted and sus-
tanned by republican legislation have
created the enormous trusts and mo-
nopolies that threaten the life of the
republic.''-Sun.
Well, neighbor, for the very excellent
reason that it is not true The slogan
The tariff is the mother of trusts"
was started by the free trade element
OF the democracy with a view TO dis
crediting the tariff by placing it in bad
company in the eyes of the people. A
direct attack upon the protective policy
has been so often reptflsed that its enc
mics decided to adopt a new plan of at
tack. They looked about for the worst
thing with which they might associate
1T in order to give it bad odor and de-
cided upon the trust as the most likely
OF success. They have never been able
to advance even a plausible, much less
. convincing argument to sustain the
assertion Yet on the principle that "a
lie well stuck to is as good as the
truth" they have continued to make
the assertion.
Notwithstanding that a near APP
proach to a purely revenue tariff adopt
ted by the Cleveland administration
proved ruinous to the industries of the
country, despoiled the laborer of his
income and brought the wolf to the
door of thousands of homes, these
ghouls who fatten on the corpse of
prosperity still seek to rehabilitate the
low tariff policy and substitute import
ed goods made by foreign labor for
home made goods produced by Ameri-
can labor. In order to Go It they seek
falsely to make the tariff responsible
for an evil with which it has NO con-
nection whatever.
There are just two or three things TO

Farmer. s4m saved the Dav.

FRrm0r'a
Boys who imagine that the farm is
dull place and narrow in its scope
for developing the faculties, will find
instruction in the story of how Joseph
Bailey, a Wisconsin farmer, by his
readiness of resource accomplished
during the civil war a task which
naval experts gave up in despair. Bal
ley was captain of a Wisconsin regi-
ment detailed to assist General Banks
in his support of Rear Admiral Porters
fleet of gunboats in the Red River OF
Texas. The advance suffered defeat,
and the admiral believed all that he
could do was to destroy his boats, save
what stores he could, and retreat with
the army as the river had fallen so
low that the fleet could not pass. In
spite of the assertions of the regular
engineers to the effect that it was i'm
possible, Captain Bailey proposed to
build a dam and raise the water in the
shallow spots. His counsel prevailed.
1t was necessary to deepen the river
for a mile, and make a current of ten
miles an hour. Details of 5000 SOL
diers worked day and night and the
dam was finished, with an opening six
ty feet wide, through which the fleet
passed in safety, owing to the skill of
this Wisconsin farmer.

A Trait of Harrison.

BENJAMIN Harrison had opinions
about things. He expressed them free
ly Rarely would he discuss men,
their records characteristics or their
motives. The only exception to this
rule wasswhens duty compelled him to
learn the fitness of candidate for Of
fee From his six years in the senate
and four years in the White House
there is preserved not one recollection
of a harsh or bitter remark of personal
character. 1t might be added that
complimentary mention of an indivi-
dual was almost as unusual with him.
1t was simply trait with him not to
talk about men. There were times,
crises. in Benjamin Har-ison's career
when sharp riyalries or antagonistic
relationships might have given provo
cation for an expression of personal
resentment Whatever Gen. Harrison
thought of other men he did not say.
The dissemination to talk about per-
SON amounted to almost positive pro-
hibition 1t was more marked in Gen.
Harrison than in any other public man
of the generation On one occasion
when a. a public gathering the speech
es took a eulogistic character of some
man. Gen. Harrison, who had not yet
spoken. was seen slipping out of the
door, A friend followed and said, I'VE
want you to say something" 81 cant"
was the reply. and he didn't Yet Gen.
Harrison drew a line sharply and dis
tinctly between the public acts and the
personal character of a man. The for
mer he considered legitimate subjects
of discussion and criticism This was
illustrated in the speech made to the
senate upon the veto messages of the
then President Cleveland. That speech
is still remembered as one of the most.
Il not the most notable of the congress-
1t was far-reaching in its conse-
quences- 1t was unsparing. But I.

the traffic through the Suez canal in
1899. Three thousand five hundred and
three vessels passed through the canal
in 1898; in 1899 the number was in
creased to 1907, representing an in
crease of 104 vessels and a gain of
657,O17 tons. The average time con-
sumed in passing through the canal in
1899 was eighteen hours and thirty
eight minutes, about half an hour
longer than was necessary during the
previous year.

CHANGES IN SUGAR INDUSTRY

In Fair Way to supply An of the
Country's Needs.
The sugar industry of the world is
brought into fresh prominence by the
prospect that a duty, probably with
discriminating rates to Offset the boun-
ties paid in Germany, Francs and
other countries of continental Europe,
will be imposed in Great Britain
though it will make the first great
break in the long trial of free-trade in
the necessaries of life since England
undertook to give the masses cheap
food regardless of other considerations.
1t appears that British refiners have
been finding it almost impossible to
compete with foreign rivals, and the
sore need of more revenue for the war
in South Africa is leading the present
ministry to take up the question of
taxing sugar, and, at the same time,
helping the British refiners. Any such
action would tend to make competition
all the keener between the bounty-fed
producers of Germany and other coun-
tries which export sugar. and the result
might be felt in some lowering of
prices in the United States owing to
the increased pressure of supplies
abroad
Meanwhile the development Of the
beet sugar industry in this country is
going on at a rate little understood by
the average American. 1t already SOW
ers large part of the domestic con-
sumption. The continued expansion of
this great business is so well assured
that it may easily leap into a COM
handing position within few years.
In Michigan alone the production of
sugar last year was no less than 3d.
100000 pounds, all of the finest quality.
California did still better, and other
states contributed largely to total
which is truly imposing in view of the
brief period covered by the beet sugar
industry in this country. The beet
sugar works may supply 25 per cent OF
the sugar used in the United States be-
fore the end of the present decade
AS American exports increase in
quantity and extend to a wider range
OF products, the independence of this
country in supplying it's own needs be-
comes more nearly complete. The re-
suit may well trouble all foreign

Boston Boys Demand Thefr--Rfgh hts.
The spirit of liberty that prevailed
in Boston at the time of the revolution
was not confined to the men who
could carry muskets. Even the chill
dren were ready to stand up for their
rights as Americans An incident that
took palce in the winter before the bat
tie of Lexington was fought shows
this The boys of Boston had been
much troubled by the. British soldiers
who were on their garrison duty in
the town These soldiers took great
delight in destroying the coasting
places which the boys had prepared.
At last the boys held a meeting and
appointed aDcommittee to wait upon
Gen. Gage, then in command, and to
make protest. The committee was
admitted to Gen. Cages headquarters,
and in reply to the generals question
as to what they wanted, the leader
replied:
Sir, we are here to demand our
rights
What's this,' exclaimed the gener-
al, surprised. do your fathers teach
you rebellion and send you here to dis
play it?''
No one teaches us rebellion, sir, "
promptly spoke up the leader. but
your soldiers trample down our snow
slides and destroy our snow forts.
When we complain they laugh at us.
call us young rebels, and tell us to
help ourselves if we can. Sir, we will
stand it no longer
Gen. Cages surprise changed to ad
miration. You are brave boys" he
said Go and IF NV soldiers trouble
you again they shall be punished"
Henceforth the boys of Boston en-
joyed their sport without molestation-

Tn. Brigade at Fontenoy.

no fSrigade at EonteuOy-
By our campfires rose a murmur
At the dawning of the day,
And the sound of many footsteps
spoke
Spoke the advent of the fray;
And as we took our places
Few and stern were our words.
And some were tightening horse-girths
And some were girding swords.
The trumpet blast has sounded
Our footmen to array;
The willing steed has bounded,
Impatient for the fray
The green flag is unfolded.
While rose the cry of joy;
Heaven speed dear Ireland's banner
This day at Fontenoy."
We looked upon that banner
And the memory arose
Of our homes and persisted kindred
Where the Lee or Shannon flows;
And we looked upon that banner
And we swore to God on high
To smite to-day the Saxon's might
To conquer or to die.
Loud swells the charging trumpet
IT'S a voice from our own land
God of battles, God of vengeance,
Guide to-day the patriot band.
Their are stains to wash away,
There are memories to destroy
In the best blood of Britain
To-day, at Fontenoy.
Plunge deep the fiery rowels
In a thousand reeking TANKS;
Down, chivalry of Ireland,
Down to the British ranks.
Now shall their serried columns
Beneath our sabres reel;
Through their ranks. then, with the
warhorse.
Through their bosoms with the Steel
With one shout for good King Louis
And the fair land of the vine,
Like the wrathful Alpine tempest
We swept upon their line
Then rang along the battlefield
Triumphant our hurrah,
And we smote them down, still cheer
ing
Erin, slanthagal go bragh."
AS priced as is the blessing
From an aged fathers lip,
AS welcome as the haven
To the tempest driven ship;
AS dear as to the lover
Is the smile of gentle maid.
Is this day of long-sought vengeance
To the swords of the brigade.
See their scattered forces flying,
A broken, routed line
See, England what brave laurels
For your brow to-day we twine-
o, thrice-bl blessed the hour that wit
messed
The Briton turn to fee
From the chivalry of Erin
And Frances "f1eur-de-lis.
As we lay beside our campfires
When the sun had passed away
And thought upon our brethern
Who had persisted in the fray,
We prayed to God to grant us,
And then we'd die with joy,
One day upon our own dear land
Like this at Fontenoy-
