AN INTERESTING RELIC.
Jaclsson's Farewell Address, in which
He Predicted Civil War.


He Predicted Civil War.
Daniel W. Thornton, a Chicago
railroad man. has in his possession an
interesting relic in the shape OF
copy OF General Andrew Jackson's
farewell address to the people on his
retirement from the Presidency OF the
United States. The address is COM
posed of about II, 900 words and was
delivered March 3, 1897. There were
originally fourteen copies printed In
black type on white satin, but only
one Of the copies remains, that one
being Mr.. Thornton's.
Mr.. Thornton was in this city re-
Gently visiting friends, and while here
exhibited the relic and told Of how
1t came to be in his possession. His
father, who was Charles G. Thorn
ton, a Canton, Ohio, printer. at the
time the address was made, set. up
the type for the fourteen copies and
was presented with one OF them.
When he died, in 1887, his son came
into possession Of It and has carried
It as a Keepsake since, The copy Is
remarkably well preserved and the
owner several times has been offered
large sums Of money for II.
There was another copy In the pos
session Of a Canton editor. but about
two years ago his home burned and
the satin relic with It.
In the address General Jackson
warns his auditors against civil war.
He states that disputes win ultimate
ly cause a severance of friendly rela-
tons between the States, aud the
trouble viii only be settled by combat
on the field OF battle and with Gre
and sword. The Civil War followed
twenty-four years after the farewell
address.
The speaker also denounced the
banking system OF the time. saying
that great danger would result from
few men controlling the currency
and thus acting injurlouaiy upon the
interests OF the others: that they
were exercising an unjust proportion

old Joe roared. Gentlemen, one mo-
ment's quiet" Then he began his
speech in his most dignihed man
ner: Gentlemen, the day of to-day
inaugurates a new era in the old
clothes business Of this famous mar
ket. But before / go any further L
ask you to tell me upon your word
and honor, whether you are satisfied
with this market or not?"
Replies OF all kinds came from
everywhere, and for a few moments
there was a terrible shouting and
laughing. Old Joe calmly waited
until quiet had been restored and
then said: II notice that you are not,
and why haven't you been satisfied?
Because you have not had the proper
goods. The goods are now here. The
American concern which represent
tells you through me. nay, even more,
It shows you through me. ] ask you
to give me your attention"
He took the first coat he could get
from a bundle in front Of him, put II
on, and turned slowly around in front
Of his audience.
Gentlemen, English goods is
English goods, and / say nothing
against It. / only ask you--is that a
TT? Does that coat fit me2 DO you
like the collar? have very little
time-sixteen shillings and six pence.
Don't crowd, please, all will be
served, for we have 10000 suits in
stock"
An hour later old Joe had cleaned
out Nathaniel's stock, bought two
other stores and the next morning
the Great American Secondhand
Clothing Company" began business
on a large scale
At all docks special longshoremen
were engaged who, standing in con-
spicuous places, showed their COM
panions elegant suits and over
coats which they bought from the
concern, and in front OF all the big
factories at Eastend and Whitechapel
were special buses waiting on Satur-
day nights which carried the working
men that had Just been paid of d.
rectly into old Joes arm, and through
all the streets of London there
marched every day In Indian file ele-
gantly dressed men carrying big pos
tiers with the inscription: "This Is
How You May Look If You Buy Your
Clothes From the Great Central
American Secondhand Company, ia
Houndsditch, r. c."
And to-day old Joe sits in his mag
nihcent Office in Oxford street and has
eight directors and a special cable
code in which he communicates with
the branch offices at New York, Brus-
sells and Paris He has married a
real lady and receives kings on his
yacht, and when anybody speaks of
his arrival in London. Of Nathaniel
Weihrauch, and the bogus dollar, he
replies in the most amiable way;
Il beg your pardon, sir, you are
mistaken; that happened not to me,
but to my grandfather. Philadel-

Bring all thy wreathed music bright

Thy merriest music sing
