A man in Maine lays glittering Of
fer before Congressman Littlefeld.
When the Worumbo Cotton Mill was
built at Lisbon, Me-, in the sixties,
Samuel Sylvester blew the first whis-
tie, and he naturally feels that his
understanding of the Worumbo Mill
is good. A year or two ago, the proud
protectionist came to Lisbon cam
paigning in the person of Mr.. Little
field. He waved his hand toward the
mill and declared that Lisbon had a
concrete example of the prosperity
which protection gave. Mr.. Sylvester
asked him: Il should like you to
show how this protected industry
helps to give the country prosperity"
The ensuing argument was brief, and
suddenly ended by Mr.. Littlefeld's re-
marking that he did not have time
to run kindergarten" But it APP
pears that Mr.. Sylvester hungers after
kindergarten instruction, and is will
ing to pay for it. He has posted a
tuition fee of $4,000 which Mr.. Little
field can earn by meeting him on the
platform and proving to the satisfac-
ton of twelve professors of colleges
who are independent voters, or twelve
women who are teachers in the higher
branches of education, that this mill
if it would not exist for protection
helps to make our country prosper
ous" This may be the real reason
why Mr. Little6eld is leaving Con-
gress!-N Y. Evening Post.

EASY HOSPITALITY.
Food Abundance In Virginia In the
Seventeenth Century.

Few countries of the world have
possessed so abundant and varied
supply of food as Virginia during the
seventeenth century. This partly ex-
plains, writes P. A. Bruce in Social
Life In Virginia In the Seventeenth
Century," the hospitable disposition of
the people even in those early times.
The herds of cattle, which ran almost
wild, offered an inexhaustible supply
of milk, butter, cheese, veal and beef.
Deer were shot in such numbers that
people cared little for venison. So
abundant were chickens that they
were not included in the inventories of
personal estates. No planter was so
badly off that he could not have fowl
on his table at dinner.
Vast fiocks of wild ducks and geese
frequented the rivers and bays and
were looked on as the least expensive
portion of the food which the Virgin
ians had to procure. Fish of the most
delicate and nourishing varieties were
caught with hook or net. Oysters and
shellfish could be scraped up by the
bushel from the bottom of the nearest
inlet or tidal stream.
Apples, peaches, plums and figs
grew in abundance. Not only were
grapes cultivated, but excellent vari-
cites grew wild through. the forest.
Such an abundance of wild strawber-
ries could be gathered that no attempt
was made to raise the domestic berry.
The watermelon fourished, and in
hominy, the roasting ear and corn
pone the Virginians possessed articles
of food of great excellence, which were
entirely unknown to the people of the
old world. There was produced on
every plantation an extraordinary
quantity of walnuts, chestnuts, hazel
nuts and hickory nuts. Honey was
obtainable in abundance, both from
domestic hives and from hollow trees
in the forest.

WILL STIMULATE TRADE.
Good Effect of Baltimore Washington
Trolley Lire.

Baltimore, April 13.-Now that the
interurban line of the Washington.
Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Railways Company is in actual oper-
alton, with schedules maintained sat
isfactorily, there is much interest in
the possibility of trade development
between the two cities. 1t is a matter
of record that in the past many people
of Washington have come to Baltimore
to purchase goods. Such trade is OF
the better class and has been found
very profitable by local merchants.
Now that quick and comparatively
cheap service is obtainable, it is felt
that a great commercial stimulus will
be experienced.
The Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis traverSeS a section of coun-
try which is largely undeveloped. AL
ready real estate booms are reported,
and there is buying Of property along

cured plots of ground and are laying
it out into lots. The development
and the prospect of sale are based
upon the theory that the interurban
line will increase the desirability Of
residence, and it is already established
that the new road will aid materially
in the property development OF the

Fair Play for the Farmer.

,,arketad abroad he comes in d1rect
comnetition with the farmers OF ali
other grain. cattle and cotton-produc-
;no countries He must sell not only
ahroad hut at home at the going prices.
He must depend upon the demand IN
countries that have to buy grain, cat
tie and corr for the net return on his
crons after paying to the carriers All
cost of handling In the land OF hlgh
wages he must compete with the farm
ers of Russia, Hungary, Egypt, lndsa
and Argentina, who pay comparatively
low wages ~
This is condition Of which the
farmers could not justly complain II
thew were allowed to buy, as they are
comnelled to sell, in free markets.
Rut on all the farmer gets outside the
limit of his farm-his tools, lumber,
wire. nails, salt, sugar; clothing, medi-
cines and hundreds or other neces-
saries-he must pay advanced prices.
He huys in a protected market. lie
sells in competitive markets. AS
purchaser he is at the mercy OF
heartless home combinations. AS
seller he must meet all competitors
in omen markets regulated by supply
and demand.
Is it any wonder that, tilling the
land under such adverse conditions.
the farmers are many of them abandon
ing their farms? The farmers boys
and girls drift away from the home
stead to the towns. They go from
the land to the shops. In the older
States the farming lands are being
gradually depopulated. The people
are focking to the cities. Over one
third of the population of the United
States is now herded in the towns.
When seasons of adversely and stop
page overtake us and the factory
doors are closed and the wheels run
slow, or not at all, and there is neith-
er work nor bread and meat enough
to go around in the overpopulated
cities, we get distressful insight OF the
results of the mistaken policy which
starves the tillers of the soil in order
to build up other favored industries.
At last the farmers are beginning to
understand. They are beginning to
demand fair play. They are insisting
on such revision of the tariff laws
as will at least enable them to buy
plow or q hoe or a mowing-machine
from the home manufacturer as cheap
Iy as he sells the same implement to
farmers in Canada, Germany or else
where. Whatever is done the Con-
gress must do. The farmers are still
in the ascendant. They can elect
Congresses to do their bidding if they
so will There is time to think about
it between now and November.-Phila-

SAYS RICH MEN ARE FOOLS.
Defender of Standard Oil Scores Aris-
tOcracy of Dollars.

New York, April 5.-Chancellor
James R. Day, of Syracuse University,
speaking to a meeting of the Harlem
Branch of the Young Mems Christian
Association, said:
81 hope you young men, and old
men, too, all have work. If you hav-
emit you will have soon. This nation
is too big to be ruined, too big to stop
long. The business of the country
isn't going to stagnate or wither. 1t
is going on. There is too much wealth
in the interior, too much property on
the surface, too much harvest on it's
broad acres, too many factories and
too much money that's got to be in
vested to be safe for us tor halt very
long. We've had a little scare, but moth
ing more. And it doesn't take long to
recover from a scare. If it was a dis
ease instead of a fright, it would be
different. But the country is sound.
you've heard that sublime, stupid
nonsense about half dozen men put
ting the world in their pockets and
not letting anybody else get any.
Why, you may be one of those half
dozen some day. These men aren't
going to live forever. If they had
M0tuuSdlcu plOSpOStS W iiA0 ~ IL -
be a serious matter. Men get rich,
and then get fat, and get dyspepsia
and die The Lord takes care of that.
Most of them are fools before they
die and leave their millions to their
sons and daughters, instead OF to
Syracuse University. And most of the
sons are fools, too. They spend the
money for autos and yachts and great
establishments, and by and by you all
get it back.
"The daughters distribute wealth,
too. They give some of it to those
counts and no-accounts the papers are
full of. Most of it goes abroad, but
it comes back again. Many of the
daughters of the rich sell themselves
and give a bonus. We have a market
here in this country for rich girls
Just as much a market as they have
in Constantinople. To this market
goes all the ragged, tattered royalty
that nobody has any use for abroad.
1t is a spectacle for men and angels.
You can't be personal about such
things, but you know what l mean,
and you can put it down that most OF
those sales aren't turning out very
WELL And that's a good thing.
Eyes; the material outlook is very
encouraging. And we won't blame
the prosperous, because we all want
to be prosperous ourselves. Let us
all be without that dangerous an
tagonism to wealth, that flows out OF
sources of malignity and ignorance
out of Union Square and other places"
