Roosevelt thinks that this is far from

Neither Necessary Nor Desirable,

Most OF the clamor for tariff remov-
al which from time to time rises above
the din and roar of the industries OF
the busiest people or the globe. comes
either from those who expect to profit
personally or politically by the
changes they urge. This clamor does
not come from the great body Of the
farmers or miners. or from the men
of the mills OF factories. who have by
far the greatest interest In protec-
tion's results. 1t is assumed by a
certain class of Statesmen" that peri
odical changes Of the tariff must be
made. and that a kind of popularity
awaits the leader who will anticipate
the coming Of the next change-period
and Will shout the longest and strong
est for its arrival. But in the opin-
Ion OF a very large majority of the
american people these periodical
changes are not necessary, and are
far from being desirable.-Hancock

the name of wonder the next move
was going to be.
Now said Dark Patrick, says he,
II want you to start 20 of these
men In the cellar of this bank, and
20 more In the cellar of the manu-
factory opposite, working for life and
death. cutting a passage under the
street from the m cellar to the other
cellar, and they are to fill the ten bar
rels to within half an inch of the lip
with the clay they take out. The
thousand pounds In gold and silver,
and the other ten men, says he, lis
to come with me-"
Then across the street he started,
and while the men in the cellars be.
low were working like the fury, cut
ting their way under the street from
house to house, Dark Patrick got the
other ten men to start the fires in
the factory, and he got ten frying
pans and put them on the fires, and
he got hammers and anvils, and he
set them on q bench that ran along
the window looking into the street.
On the frying pans he emptied the
bags of gold and silver, making the
men blow the bellows like murder till
the coins were red hot, and he then
started them carrying the frying pans.
full of coin, to the bench and beating
the coins on the anvils, nicely and
lightly, with little hammers, opening
the windows at the same time so that
the noise would get properly into tho
street-where the crowd now was
gathering at a tremendous rate in
front of the bank, and i%nstructing tha
beaters that they were to make all
the clatter and clang and jingle that
they could
The passage underneath the street
was soon completed. Then ten her.
ring barrels filed within an inch OF
of Zip were fetched up; they were
filled up with a couple of layers OF
hot coins-some of the barrels with
gold coins and others of them with
silver-and while some of the men
went on with the frying of the coins,
and some with the beating upon tho
anvils at the window, the remainder
were started in pairs, with hand,
sticks, to carry the barrels as fast
as they could across the street to the
bank
And as fast as the men entered the
bank with the barrels of money they
carried them back just as fast as the
underground passage, SO that when
he last barrel was going in of the
bank door the first was coming out
again out of the door of the manufac.
tory, and there was n continual
string of barrels Of fresh gold and sill.

from the mandatory to the bank.
And. when the people heard this,
their amazement was a wonder to be-
hold
Some of them were sent in to draw
their money, and report to the others
upon what they observed. And when
they came back with their money on
plates smoking hot, they said how
that the barrels of gold and silver
were going down to the cellars, in a
string. to be stored there, and, by this
time there must have gone in a thou
sand barrels II there went one. And
their money, they said, had been
served across the counter to them
upon iron scoops. for no man could
handle it, yet while it was boiling.
When the people heard this, not
only would they not draw their own
money. which they had in it, as
they were now greedier than ever for
the big interest, but those of them
that had just drawn it out, went
back with their plates again and de-
posted 1t.
O'Toole. the banker, was a glad.

first time in three weeks, closed his

Patrick, at his special entreaty, re-
NAMED with him for three days long
er, till his mackerel fleet came safely
in.
And 1t is said that 1t took 800
men, three days and three nights, car
rying off the feet, into the bank, the
bags of gold that they had brought
back with them in exchange for the
s%calpeens; SO that O'Toole was able
to pay off, with double and treble
compound interest, every creditor he
had In Ireland.
1t was him was the elated man
then, ! tell o He nearly threw
himself at the feet Of Dark Patrick.
and he asked him to name the size of
his reward.

as a reward that you'll never again
risk the money of the poor people Of
the country"
And O'Toole promised that he o or
would, nor I'D he.
