years salary as secretary Of the Penn
sylvania assembly, although he was
poor and could I'll afford such a gift.
1t would require more space than is
available here to make a comprehen-
sive summary of the notable things
accomplished by Paine In the course
Of his long and busy life. 1t has been
said that he was the first to suggest
the idea of independence Of the col
onies of Great Britain. However this
may be, he was one Of the first to
~eourageously proclaim this idea and to
give to the public writings which in
fuenced public sentiment and educat-
ed the people of the colonies up to the
idea that 1t was their duty to form a
separate nation and to fight for the
principles Of liberty represented in a
republic. 1t would be perhaps difficult
TO say who did the most to promote
the success OF the Revolution, but in
his way probably none did more than
Paine. He was n Of the first after
freedom from Great Britain had Teen
won to suggest a federal union of the
states, and he labored ardently In full
fillment of the plan.
He was n Of the pioneers in the |
abolition movement. proposing the abol-
ishment Of the institution of slavery
q great many years before the country
was ready to act upon the question.
He was a century ahead Of his time
IN his ideas about international arbi
t~ration. and his arguments in behalf
Of international peace s6und strangely
like those with which we are familiar
today and which come DOW from the
mouths of men not usually reputed toj
be lacking In sanity or common sense.
Such, however, was liable to be the

Toany other lands. He offended many
Of his best friends in his later years
by his unnecessarily offensive and an
tagonistic way OF stating his IDEAS on
religious and philosophical subjects
and created for himself a reputation In
this respect which for a time served
TO efface to some extent the memory
OF the deeds of valor and self sacri-
flee which stand to his credit as a
patriot and a worker for the cause
of American independence. His IDEAS
would not he considered so radical as
to subject him to ostracism In our W
day, and his country is coming to rec
ognize that his memory Is entitled to
respect and veneration.
This is shown In the fact that a
statue Of him now. stands In Independ-
ence hall. Philadelphia, and that his
old home at New Rochelle has been
removed to a park by the Huguenot
Association Of New Rochelle and is to
be preserved as a museum of historical
relics. Near 1t stands a monument
with a bust of Paine, and ii is at this
place that the exercises In hts honor
will take place on the one hundredth
anniversary of his death. Men emf
mem In various callings will address
the gathering and tell of the value of
his services to the several causes In
which he labored.
Whatever differences of opinion may
exist as to the propriety Of Paine's
course In his later years In attacking
many Of the then generally accepted
views as to religion and theology, there
can be no doubt that gratitude is owed
him for the sacrifices he made In the
American cause during the Revolution,
for the contributions he made to the
existing store Of liberal political ideas
and for the fight he made In behalf
of political progress In such works as

Figures In
The Tariff
Discussion.

~ENATOR P. ]. M'CUMBER of
North Dakota has figured as
~ one of the leaders of the 'insur-
gents of the senate during the
extra session and was especially prom
inent In connection with the discus
sion of the free lumber question. In
fact, Mr.. McCumber introduced the
subject in the senate by presenting an
amendment providing for free lumber.
He contended that the American for
ests were being rapidly depleted and
urged that every encouragement should
be given to the bringing in of outside
lumber for the protection of our W
supply. He also declared tina every
article produced ON the farm required
more expended energy than any other
class of product. In illustrating the
profits of the farmer as compared with
the profits Of other occupations the
senator jokingly asserted:
There are 300 tomatoes in a bushel,
and when you go down to the senate
restaurant you will pay % cents for a
single tomato, or at the rate of $40 a
bushel, and when the eolored waiter
has cut up that one tomato for his
farmer patron the farmer would have
to go down in his pocket for another
quarter of a dollar, or the price of a
bushel of tomatoes, to reward him."
During his speech Mr.. McCumber
said that the protective duty on lum-
Der had enabled many lumber dealers
In the northwest to become million
aires, and he intimated that the same
results had occurred in West Virginia.

that state replied, docs not produce
millionaires. We produce coal, iron,
lumber and oil, but no millionaires."
Yet Mr.. Elkins is reputed n Of the
| richest men in the senate. There are

| the days of Mark Hanna, Of Clark of

worth $25,OO0,OOO and up; Kerns Of

Dryden of New Jersey, with 5000 900
or so; Brice of Ohio. $4,000 600, and
Proctor of Vermont, 100000. Then
there were fifteen or twenty others
who had been so unfortunate in life
as to be able to accumulate a bare mil
lion or so. This lot included Cameron
