~ W ed to occupy the time re-
naming between that date
and the 4th of March with
a grand tour from state to state and
city to city. One Mr.. Wood, recon-
mended by Senator Seward" was the
chief manager. He provided special
trains to be preceded by pilot engines
all the way through.
It was a gloomy day; heavy clouds
ioated overhead, and cold rain was
falling. Long before eight o'clock, a
great mass Of people had collected at
the station of the Great Western rail-
way to witness the event of the day.
At precisely five minutes before eight,
Mr.. Lincoln, preceded by Mr.. Wood.
emerged from a private room in the
depot building, and passed slowly to
the car, the people falling back respect
fully on either side, and as many as
possible shaking his hands. Having
finally reached the train, he assembled
the rear platform, and, facing about to
the throng which had closed around
him, drew himself up to his full
height, removed his hat, and stood for
several seconds in profound silence.
His eye roved sadly over that sea of
upturned faces, and he thought he read
in them again the sympathy and
friendship which he had often tried,
and which he never needed more than
he did then. There was an unusual
culver in his lip. and a still more un-
usual tear on his shriveled cheek. His
solemn manner, his long silence, were
as full of melancholy eloquence as any
words he could have uttered. What
did be think Of? OF the mighty changes
which had lifted him from the lowest
to the highest estate on earth? Of the
weary road which had brought him to
ehls lofty summit? Of his poor mother
lying beneath the tangled underbrush
In a distant forest? Of that other
grave in the quiet Concord cemetery?
whatever the particular character of
his thoughts. it is evident that they
were retrospective and painful To
those who were anxiously waiting to
eaten words upon which the fate of
the nation might hang, it seemed long
unit. he had mastered his feelings suf-
iciently to speak. At length he began
in a husky tone of voice, and slowly
and impressively delivered his farewell
to his neighbors. Initiating his exam
pie, every man in the crowd stood with
his head uncovered in the fast-falling
rain.
"Friends-No one who has never
been placed in a like position can un-
derstand my feelings at this hour, nor
the oppressive sadness feel at this
parting. For more than quarter of
a century l have lived among you,
and during all that time I have re-
ceived nothing but kindness at your
hands. Here 1 have lived from my
youth, until now l am an old man.
Here the most sacred ties of earth
were assumed. Here all my children
were born; and here one of them lies
buried. To you, dear friends, Il owe
all that I have, all that I am. All the
strange, checkered past seems to crowd
now upon my mind. To-day I leave
you. go to assume task more diff

The Sugar Complication.

Walter Wellman in Chicago Record
Herald: Is the New York sugar refining
trust a greater power in the United
States Senate than the public opinion
which demands justice for Cuba?
This is the question which has been
raised by yesterdays sensational and to
some extent the action of the House of
Representatives.
But so far as the future can be judged
at this writing the sugar trust is beaten,
and Cuba will yet gain concession in
some form before this session of Con
gress comes to an end. Ii it does not it
will be because the New York trust is
too strongly intrenched among the active
leaders of the Republican side of the
Senate.
Until now the New York trust has
been working in harmony with American
public opinion. Both have demanded
concessions to Cuba, the first selfishly,
the latter generously. The trust wanted
cheaper raw materials, and it refnes all
the sugar that comes from Cuba; the
people wanted Cuban planters to get
higher price for their crop. The trust
has taken advantage of popular SYM
pathy for Cuba, and behind that sym
pathy has carried on an adroit and effec-
tive campaign.
But at this juncture the trust and
public opinion part company. This is
because the House, captured by the al
lance of beet sugar Republicans and
Democrats, passed the 20 per cent bill
and repealed the differential on refined
sugar. The trust wanted the former, but
did not want the latter. 1t is estimated
by good authorities that the 20 per cent.
reduction, standing alone, meaus to the
trust an increased profit of about S3,O0O,-
600, the Cuban planters getting the
other 100000 of reduced duties. But
the differential is said by the same au-
thorities to be worth $5,O0O,O00 year to
the trust on present conditions of trade
in keeping out the competition of for
eign refined sugar.
Therefore, if the bill passes in it's pres
ent form, the trust, instead of gaining
larger profit for it's long campaign and
adroit use of wholesome popular sym
pathy for Cuba, will be worse off than it
was before.

UsT now there is loud outcry from

JUST now there is loud outcry from
all the large cities over the increased
prices asked for beef and hog products,
as compared with the prices asked for
some years past. Cattle and hogs are
mainly fattened 90 corn. The corn crop
of the country last year was some 7O0,-
100000 bushels short. Then, too, the
figures of the Agricultural Department
show that the quantity of live stock in
the country has also fallen off. They
show a very material decline in the num-
Der of swine, and one not so marked,
though still very noticeab BILE, in the case
of cattle. Sheep have also shown a loss
in numbers, Here, also, may be found
strong reason for the advance in live cat
tie and most meat products. There is
still another cause that cannot be over
looked, and that is the natural increase
in the consumption of meat products.

The imposition of an import duty on
grain and flour by Great Britain is in
one sense an abandonment of her free
trade policy, but in reality it is not The
government has not resorted to it with
that purpose in view at all. 1t is rev.
enue that she needs just now, and she
must have it, no matter what the ap-
pearances may be. Of course, the Eng
lish farmers will benefit from it some
wha but it is more than likely that if
the South African war ceases shortly
this tax on wheat and flour will speedily
be dropped. 1t is an unpopular tax to
begin with, and the friends of free trade,
while temporarily compelled to agree to
it from a necessity, will be certain to
shake it off at the earliest opportunity.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1902-04-25

AN investigation set on foot by the
government brings to light the facts
that the British government during the
two and a-half years it has been buying
supplies for the South African war at
New Orleans, has paid out the sum of
Is million for horses and mules and Is
million for forage and other supplies.
About It's ships have cleared for South
Africa carrying $4,000 mules, $4,000
horses, besides the hay and provender
which went to the farmers OF the Missis-
sippi Valley. If the supply camp is
closed there the government will move
operations to Van Couver until the Boer
war is over.
