Gets Pay for Old Stumps.

Turpentine can he extracted
from an old pine stump aud this
fact is the basis of new industry
reported from northern Minnesotl
The promoters of the novel entor.
prise are asking farmers for tho
privilege Of clearing their land OF
stumps.
Snoh proposal comes to the
owner OF out-over farm, whose
ribs are sore from contact with the
pillow handles in futile efforts to
dodge the obstructive stump. like
a message OF deliyerance All the
promoter wants is the stumps, and
the farmer sincerely wants him to
have them, so a bargain is easily
struck.
The turpentlne men go ON the
land with stump puller and ex-
tract all the remnants of the forest,
hauling them away to the plant
where the turpentino is extracted
and all the stumps, pine and hard
wood, are burned for charcoal Ii
is asserted that the stumps are
rioh in turpentine and thst the
process yields good financial re.
turns.
Hitherto the manufacture Of
turpentins has been practically
confined to the south, where the
yellow pine is very rich in all by
products. White pine yields them
in comparatively small quantities.
1t is not likely that the industry
will ever reach great proportions
in the north. but as long as the
turpentine man finds his raw ma.
terial cheap and easily accessible
he is likely to carry OH the good
work.
What Minnesota is more in.
terested in is the elimination OF
the stumps. Some cut.over land
really needs them to decay and
thus enyice the sandy soil. but
there are large acres of good farm
ing land, especially adapted to po-
tatoes, red clover and other crops,
that will be much more valuable
when entirely cleared. 1t is an
enormous labor for the farmer to
clear n quarter section of these oh
strnctions. When il is done he can
put in larger crop acreage and
raise more to the acre, but the
clearing means years of labor. IL
he can have it done for him by the
tnrpentine and charcoal producer,
ne will not bsgrndge his benefact-
or handsoms profit.

British people, being able to exchange
their manufactures for our wheat,
might prefer to reject Mr.. Chamber
lain's plan and go on as they are. But
to do that would injure our manufac-
lures and derange our whole fiscal sys-
tenn. That plan is impracticable.
The other course is to make it worth
while for Canada to reject Mr.. Cham
berlain's plan and refuse to become
merely the farm feeding England's
mills, by opening to Canada's minerals.

Since our own wheat production has
practically reached the limits of our

here instead of to England to be

By reasonable reciprocity conces-
sfons to Canada, promptly made, we
can, without material injury to our
selves, prevent her economic alliance
with Great Britain, bring her into
economic alliance with the United
States, and prevent the threatened
curtailment of our best wheat mar
ket.
We can make Canada the farm feed

Shoes and the Duty on Hides.

The Record raises the question "of
the annual duties on raw materials
with reference to shoes"
The Dingley tariff put duty on
hides, and while the Record and a
number of other papers declared that
this would kill the export of shoes, the
foreign demand for our shoes has
grown ever since.
What is the use of butting against
facts in this way? The experience of
the last six years shows clearly that a
duty on hides does nothing to prevent
the increase of our exports of boots
and shoes, and this is the truth with
other duties on raw materials. In
the end they increase the supply of
raw material and diminish its price

broadly. there Is little warrant for any
fear that England's thousands of mil
lions of dollars worth of manufactured
wares, represented by her home con-
sumption and by her exports, stand in
any serious peril from the competition

American surplus products sold at low

The American business man does
not banker after any market which
permanently represents only loss or
at best no profit. Moreover, this
process, spasmodically applied as it is,
is not limited to the American mer-

On Feb. the Manitoba Legislature
unanimously adopted resolution
strongly indorsing Mr.. Chamberiain's
preferential tariff scheme. This APP
pears to be the first formal legislative
Endorsement of Mr.. Chamberlain's pol
icy. 1t was given because that policy
would give Canadian wheat growers
better British market than American
wheat growers would have.
The United Kingdom is the largest
customer of American wheat growers
1t takes now practically one-half of all
our wheat exports. But we are not now
supplying so large part of its de-
mands, as compared with Canada, as
we did twenty years ago.
In round figures, the United King
dom imported in 1882 $4,000, 900 bush
els of wheat, including flour, of which
75, 900 900 bushels came from the
United States, and only 5000 900 bush
els from Canada. In 1902 the United
Kingdom imported 49, 100000 bushels
of wheat, of which 108 900 900 bushels
came from the United States, and over
100000 bushels from Canada.
Competing on equal terms in the
British market Canadian wheat grow
ers are gaining upon American. The
Canadians have increased their trade
400 per cent, while we have increased
ours only A per cent. If Mr.. Cham
berlain succeeds in getting a tariff of
6 cents a bushel on American wheat it
is certain that our best wheat market
will be greatly curtailed, and that Ca
madam wheat growers will profit by
our loss. That is what the Manitoba
Legislature sees, and that is why IL
indorses Mr.. Chamberlain.
What can we do to prevent this
threatening narrowing of our best
wheat market? Two courses are open
to us.
One is to reduce our tariff on manu-
features to such an extent that the

Tn. First Confederate FIaq.

Gen. w. L. Cabel1, formerly OF the
Confederate army, has contributed an
article to the official organ of his old
comrades giving history of the battle
flag of the Confederacy, about which
there has been more or less contro-
versy The General says:
When the Confederate army, COM
manded by Gen. Beauregard, and the
federal army confronted each other at
Manassas it was seen that the Confed-
crate flag and the Stars and Stripes
looked at distance SO much alike that
it was hard to distinguish one from the
other Gen. Beauregard, thinking that
serious mistakes might be made in rec
ognizing our troops, ordered. after the
battle of July Is, at Blackburn Ford,
that a small red badge should be worn
on the left shoulder by our troops, land,
as was chief quarter-maste-. ordered
me to purchase large amount of red
flannel and distribute it to each regi-
ment. I distributed the red flannel to
several regiments, who placed badges
on the left shoulders of the men. Dur
ing the battle of Bull Run it was plain
1y to be seen that a great number of
federal soldiers wore a similar red
badge / saw these badges on a num-
Der of prisoners we captured that day.
Gems. Beauregar6 and Johnston met
at Fairfax court house in the latter
part of August or early in September
and determined to have battle flag
for every regiment or detached COM
mand that could easily be recognized.
I was telegraphed for to come at once
to Fairfax court house / found Gems.
Beauregard and Johnston in Gen.
Beauregard's office discussing the kind
of flag that should be adopted. Gen.
Johnston's flag was in tie shape of an
eIlipse-a red flag, with blue St An
drew's cross and stars on the cross
(white), to represent the different
Southern states No white border of
any kind was attached to this cross
Gen. Beauregard's was a rectangle
red, with blue St Andrews cross and
white stars, similar to Gen. Johnston,s.
After we had discussed the two
STYLES, taking into consideration the
cost of material and the care of max
| ing the same it was decided that the
elliptical flag would be harder to make,
| that it would take more cloth and that
it could not be seen SO plainly at a dis

and suggested by Gen. Beauregard

Gen. Johnston yielded at once

Military Work IN the fniitPpineS.
Reports like that received concern
ing the wiping out of band of Moros
prove that the pacifcation of the Phil
ippines requires a constant military
watchfulness such as England has
practiced in her long course of colo
NAL expansion. 1t is a fact, however,
that the need for the employment of
force is steadily diminishing. There
have of late been very few disturb
ances in the more civilized islands of
the north, where our earlier cam
paigns were conducted, and there has
been nothing at all resembling a con-
certed general effort at rebellion
against the American authorities.
So far as we may Judge from the
dispatches, it would seem that the
races who followed the leadership of
Aguinaldo or acted in cooperation
with him have given up the struggle.
If there is still an aspiration for indie
pendence it does not express itself in
the appeal to arms Instead of any
thing resembling a national movement
there is only the occasional outbreak
of some few disaffected persons who
are commonly classed as ladrones.
