A Covard,s Rise.

While some of the war veterans who
were guests of the Twelfth Regiment
of New York city were exchanging rem
lniscences at the table, one of them,
who sat within earshot of General
Sickles told this story:
When reaching the Army Of the Po-
tomac as a recruit for the - New
York Regiment, just before the Chan
cellorsville campaign, 1 soon heard of a
man in my company whose notoriety
for cowardlce had made him the sub
ject of many jests during his short
service in the camp. Plenty of men are
bitten by fear upon going into action,
but this fellow had the rare reputation
of being an incurable poltroon, and the
mere crack of a rife had often thrown
him into fits so violent that two of his
comrades had to leave the ranks TO
keep him In order
He was with the regiment at Chan
cell0rsville on the night when we be-
gan to exchange zshots with the enemy
In that quarter, and he trembled so vi
olently that he could not handle his
rifle. A small rebel cannon that had
been pulled on to a knoll some distance
off. and that was playing an independ-
ent game apart from the Confederate
forces, threw a ball that struck the
ground in front OF him and scared him
out Of his wits. He became blind with
fright, and, not knowing where to fly.
ran directly toward the hostile gun,
which was manned by two old Virginia
militiamen in gray, who had under
taken to render their State some sery-
Ice The two virginians behind the
ridge suddenly saw the Infatuated Yank
rushing upon them, and, believing him
TO be followed by his regiment, took
to flight, leaving their cannon behind
them. The poltroon stood aghast for
moment alongside the piece of artil-
lery which he had captured, and almost
simultaneously our regiment by rapid
advance and few shots drove back
the company Of rebels that had been
lurking in front, and we held the
ground for the time being.
"But the wonderful deed of our CON-
Jade who seized the enemy's gun had
been witnessed by the mounted general
OF our brigade, who happened to be a
relative Of his, and within forty eight
hours the fellow who had been the
laughing stock OF the regiment was
promoted for CALAMITY in the field His
subsequent rise was rapid. and when l

ANOTHER SET OF PATRIOTS.
Want Protection Removed from the
Ofhar EeIvov,s proaucfs


other Fellows Products.
At its closing session in Chicago the
National Association of Agricultural
Implement and Vehicle Manufacturers
adopted resolution calling upon Con-
gress to revise the entire tariff laws
bearing upon lumber and its products
and calling for general reciprocity be-
tween the United States and all coun-
tries regarding all timber products.
If all the timber which goes into the
construction of an ordinary farm wag-
on was brought from some foreign
country and the duty thereon was paid,
and If the duty paid was added to the
selling price of the wagon, it would
not increase the price SO much as 30
cents, but when we consider that lum-
Der is a home production, it is likely
the price bears no relation to the duty
on material. In so far as American
industry is concerned, it matters little
whether there is duty on lumber or
whether it is admitted free. Like many
other products, the protection on lum-
Der, if it can be said the duty is pro-
tectiye. Is a matter of concern to only
a limited territory contiguous TO some
other country like Canada or Mexico,
for instance. Lumber of all kinds has
increased many dollars per thousand
feet during the past few years. while
the duty is only 50 per thousand on
cus lumber and less on squared tim
bers. hence we know that the duty
practically has no bearing III the lum-
Der prices. The Wilson law removed
the duty on lumber, and Canada. our
only competitor, Immediately put on an
export d'Ity equal to our former tariff.
Canada does not want her lumber sent
to this country. and hence when We
do not put up discrimination. her
laws supply what is missing.
But the plant Of the vehicle manu-
facturers is an old one. 1t is the self
ish policy that demands cheap raw ma
terial and high prices ON finished prod

The Foundation of the Republic
The annual report which the Hon.
james Wilson. Secretary of Agricul-
ture, Lard before the nation on Thanks
giving day, is no mere bundle of fig
ures- The greatness of the achievement
that he records is such that 1T moves
him to burst forth into veritable
psalm of triumph and prophecy. Hear
him:
With his surplus beyond the ma
tion's need. the farmer has loaded the
fleets of oceans. The farm overshad-
ows the mill. the factory, and the work
shop. A new dignity has come upon
the tiller of the soil, and new
strength. Far back of the fruitful
horizon of his prairie and his noun
tains he sees a new horizon. richer in
the eyes of the future than is the SER
rated sky line of the city
This is no rhetorical effort to mag
nifty an Office with big words. The
surplus exported from American farms
IN 1906 would have paid the national
debt The value of American farm
products this year Is at least S6,794,
10000 This is half billion more
than in 1905, three-quarters of a billion
more than In 1904, four-fifths of BIZ
lion more than in 1908. For this in
crease there Is no parallel in the re-
corded history OF mankind" The
meaning of these figures to the nation
lies upon their face. And they have
meaning beyond and above thst OF
material prosperity.
