STANDING TOGETHER

The last issue of the American Iron
aud Steel Bulletin contained the follow
ing letter to the editor:
Dear Sir: The writer was extremely
gratified to note that your Bulletin, IN
its last number, took issue with the
New York Tribune concerning the Cub
an reciprocity measure. The marvel is
that there should be shadowof doubt
in. the mind of any man, acquainted
with the facts in the premises, as to the
proper disposition of that treaty. AS
you state, this sugar protection was
guaranteed, and not only that. but the
agricultural department has flooded the
country during the past few years with
both literature and beet seed, in COM
mendable effort to introduce and root
this industry. The Republican party
was taken at its word and large invest
ments were made, and there now ap-
pears no plausible reason why 1t should
not stand by its pledges long enough to
enable American capital and energy to
prove their ability to produce all the
sugar that may be consumed on the
American continent. 1t may be urged
that a 20 per cent cut will not kill the
industry. That may be true, but it as
suredly will retard, if not stop
its growth, for capital will say,
IF they make 30 per cent cut
this Year, in the face of pledge
to the contrary what will they do next
yearg' Such foundation is too sandy
for conservative capital to build upon.
Some will tell you that we must keep,
our pledges with the Cnbans, but they
all fail to produce the pledge. say we
should keep our promises to the Ameri-
can wage Garner and farmer, and point
to our national platforms to uphold my
claim.
The representatives in congress of the
great state of Pennsylvania should stand
by the farming interests in this matter
First, because in this one conspicuous
instance where the American farmer is
benefited by the tariff, his welfare de-
mands that he be not sacrificed to in
cease the profits of the sugar-refning;
trust nor to humor the Cuban farmer;
second, because the farmers of Pennsyl-
vania are tobacco growers, and their
output might be largely augmented if
tariff tinkering were not INDUCED in;
third, because the great manufacturing
interests of your state derive their
greatest benefit when this country, not
Cuba, is prosperous; and, lastly, because
all the states have, through their con-
gressmen, always stood for the pro-
lection of Pennsylvania's varied and i'm
portant industries.
Yours respectfully,
j. w. FORDNEY.

thanks. was given him for his work in
behalf of them and in behalf of the
farmers whom they were enabled to
serve better through his efforts. So
enthusiastic were several of the mem
bers in support of their congressman
that it was only through the reminder
of some of the more cautious members
that their action would not be consistent
with the non-partisan character of their
organization that red hot set of reso-
lutions endorsing Mr.. Fordney for an
other term was kept from being put
through by acclamation.
The following from the DeKalb, Ill,
Review, would indicate that the editors
of that paper hardly expect the govern
ment building to be erected in that
city to be ready for occupancy during
the present century The paper says:
The old John Taylor house was taken
off it's foundation the fore part of the
week, and moved to its new location
We would like to say when the new
Federal building which is to occupy the
space where the Taylor house stood
will be commenced, but we can't, for
we don't know. Moreover, we don't be-
lieve anybody else knows Men now
young are liable to turn gray, and a
good many be gathered to their fathers
ere that building becomes visual fact.
1t will be just the luck of some dude
democrat appointed by future demo
cratic administration, to be the first to
occupy that building as postmaster;
such are the ways of Providence, and
the slowness of Uncle Sam.

Keeping Columbia Cool.

The people of Columbia spend some
thing near 800 day at the soft drinks
establishments trying to keep cool.
Some may question this statement. but
estimates secured by the Herald show
that the figure Is not very wide OF the
mark. The most popular drink at the
fouuts is the coco-cola, now known as
dope throughout the country, be-
cause of the element OF cocaine which
the DRINK contains. The dope IS
the favorite drink of the working class,
because it has great freshenng and
invigoraring qualities and stimulates
the system. The dry goods clerks and
office people drink it almost exclus-
ively, because 1t Is such great slim
ulant. They average about four drinks
a day, commencing about 9 O'Clock In
the mornin and then again at II,
then about 80 and the last one about
in the afternoon. The man who
origi uated the coco-cola has become
nearly a millionaire off of IT. He Is
druggist in Atlanta. Ga When he
first began the manufacture OF the
drink ne could not get anybody to take
stock in his concern, but now the
stock could not be bought al any price.
Probably the next most popular
drink Ia the chocolate soda. Then
comes the other fiavors of the soda, and
lemonade, ices, ice cream. etc. Lem.
onade Is not drank anything like 1t was
few years ago, but 1t still has it's
friends, and there Is not much better
drink than a good lemonade. A good.
old. fashioned drink of soda Is one OF the
best drinks at the fouut. and is said
by caterers to be probably the health
,cst OF them all. And indeed, II Is one
of the most palatable. A custom

Dry Smokers.

Major W. J. Wnitthorne is one OF
the most persistent cigar smokers In
the State. He smokes nearly all the
time. vet he never lights cigar. he
ia what 10 known as dry smoker.
There are very few of them compare
lively, but when you tind them, they
get about as much pleasure out OF the
cigar as the man who buries himself
in a cloud of smoke. Major WHIT
thorne has been smoking many years.
but he never lit cigar. Yet ne gets
AS much satisfaction out OF his cigar as
the man who puffs. He has been
known to carry a cigar between his
teeth for two or three hours, then
throw it away and take another one
and smoke it. He simply holds the
cigar between his teeth, chewing 1t
until the end is chewed off. then tax
ing out his knife ana cutting the
chewed end off and smoking away.
MIR. A. B. Rains, the druggist, ls also
a dry smoker to some extent. but ne
generally finishes his dry smoke with
n real smoke. Senator William b.
Rate. of Tennessee Is also dry
smoker. and there is story connected
with the fact that is very palmetto IL
was at the battle of Shiloh. Senator
Bate was then dasnlng young ohcer

of the second fight Senator Bate, with
his brother were riding through the
woods near the thick of the fight for
the purpose of ascertain,ng some IN
formation in regard to the enemy
position. They were riding SIDE
by side, and presently both took out
cigars and started to light them. SEN
ator Bate struck a match and was In
the act of leaning over to give MS
