Despite the fact that the Liberty Bell Is one
OF the most treasured of national relics, it is not
originally an American product, but a foreign I'M
portation; and imported from England, too, where
it was first cast according to the order given IN
October, 1851, by the superintendent of the state
house Of the Province of Pennsylvania-now indie
~pendence Hall.
Thomas Lester of White Chapel, London, cast
the bell, and by August, 1852, it arrived in Phila-
delphia and was erected on trusses in the state
house yard. While being tolled and tested early
in September of the same year it was cracked by
the clapper, though by no unusually powerful
stroke. Concerning this accident, Isaac Morris
wrote, March 10, 1888:
Though the news of our new bell cracking Is
not very agreeable to us, we concluded to SEND II
back by Captain Budden, who had brought 1t from
London last August, but he could not cake it on
board, upon which two ingenious workmen under
took to cast it here, and l am just now informed
they have this day opened the mould and have
got a good bell, which, l confess, pleases me very
much, that we should first venture upon and sue
coed in the greatest bell cast, for aught | know,
In English America. The mould was finished In
a very mastery manner, and the letters, l am
told, are better than toni the old one. When we
broke up the metal our judges here generally
agreed it was too high and brittle, and cast sew
eral little bells out of it to try the sound and
strength, and fixed upon a mixture Of an ounce
and a half of copper to the pound of the old bell,
and in this proportion we now have it,"
Herman Pass, from the Island of Malta, and
Jacob Stow, a son of Charles Stow, the d%oorkeep-
err of the assembly, were the two ingenious work
men referred to In the above letter. After the
second casting Of the bell 1t was again hung and
tested in the spring of 1888. More defects were
soon found. however. The American casters,
Pass and Stow, who were not bell founders by
trade at all, had put too much copper in the metal
50 that its sound was impaired. Disappointed
with that failure and also nettled at the gibes OF
their townsmen concerning it, they asked permits
sion to cast the bell a second time. Thomas Les
ter, the original maker Of 1t, also offered his
services, but the authorities decided to allow
Pass and Stow to proceed again, and thus the
third and present casting was made, and again
the bell was raised; this time in the state house
steeple itself. That operation was completed by
the end Of August of 1853. when the American
casters we're paid $50 13s. sd. for their labors.
Then began its chimes. August 81, 1853, when
1t called the assembly together, ringing out the
old, ringing in the new; sounding its melodies for
innumerable public and private events during
more than four-score of years. 1Q&
The first individual for whom 1t rang was Frank
lin; sent home to England" to AJAX redress for
the grievances OF the colonies in February, 1851.

IN CURRENCY BILL
RETIRING CLAUSE TO BE REIN
SERTED IN ACT.
Present Issue of s7oo,ooo,ooo Will Be
Raised by Refunding Scheme of
8 Per Cent Bonds.

Washington, D. C.-President VIII
son and his advisers in charge of
the currency bill decided to %reinsert
the clause in the bill providing for
TIE retirement of the present issue
of 500, 900, 900 of national bank notes
which are secured by 2 per cent bonds
and to give the new federal reserve
board the right to reissue the retired

per cent bonds.
The present issue will be gradually
retired within the space of 20 years.
The measure was introduced in the
house by Representative Carter Glass.
No changes were made in the fed
eral control system. One amendment,
however, removed the prohibition
against the federal reserve board is
suing $500, 900, 900 Of emergency cur
rency in the amount of the present
national bank notes retired.
Another change will remove certain
restrictions on country banks in con-
serving Is per cent of their reserve
funds. AS amended, the bill will allow
such country banks within three years
to keep 5 per cent Of this reserve in
their vaults, 5 per cent with the re
gional reserve banks and the remain
ing 5 per cent with their correspond
ent bank in federal reserve cities.

The bell echoed the hopes of the peoples hearts
and it's melodious Bon Voyage" sounded over the
Delaware as he sailed away.
When the planning and splitting mills were
closed and the manufacture of iron and steel prod
ucts was prohibited by acts of parliament in
Pennsylvania and the kings arrow was affixed
upon pine trees and the trade of the colonies in
all parts Of the world restrained, the bell was
again tolled to assemble the people in the state
house yard to protest against such outrages.
Thus did the bell, long before the Revolution
become the beloved symbol Of truth and freedom
reinforcing with pugnacious and violent peala the
cry of determined citizens, in the largest political
meeting held up to that time in the state house
yard that none of the ship "Polly's detestable
tea" that had Just been brought into the port,
should be funneled down their throsts with par
lament duty mixed with it"
When the port of Boston was cosed in May,
1774, and the heart Of the country was growing
heavier with its %affliction, the bell was once more
carefully muffled and tolled in a solemn and pro-
phetic manner, both to announce the closing OF
the port and, a little later, to call a meeting to
relieve suffering in Boston on account of the
restriction of its trade.
AS the conflict with England approached the
bell was rung more and more; its use became a
matter Of course, and then, on April 20, 100
Just after the reports came to Philadelphia OF the
Battle of Lexington, 1t rang wildly to assemble
5000 people in the state house yard ana TO In
spire their souls to a resolution ~pledging their
all to the cause Of liberty.
1t rang also to assemble the Continental con-
gress to its daily sessions, both at Carpenters
hall and independence hall, and, finally, its crown
ing achievement, the one wild, defiant and joyful
ringing that, more than all the previous reverbera-
lions it made, gave it the sacred name of THE
Liberty Bell" occurred on July 8 land not the
4th, as is generally believed), after the Declare
ton of independence had been adopted.
This greatest of its tuhilees called the citizens
together in the yard to hear read in the stentorian
tones OF John Nixon the first public proclamation
OF the Declaration, and never did the old wooden
rafters of the state house steeple rock and trem-
BILE with more sympathetic vibration than at this
time.
When returned to the old state house steeple
again one of its first uses was to ring upon, the
announcement of the surrender Of Lord Cornwall
lis, in October, 1881, and In the following month
to toll in welcoming Washington to the city. 4
year and a half later 1t helped to proclaim the
treaty OF peace with Great Britain, and In Decem-
Der, 1899, 1t was mufled for the first time in many
years, though not to mourn for lost liberty or
over tyrannical deeds, but to lend Its almost
hushed music to the funeral solemnities Of Wash
fngton himself.

CROP WORTH NEARLY BILLION
Cotton Crop of 1912, Though Smaller
Than in 1911, Has Much
Higher Value.

Washington, D. C.-The southern
cotton planter should worry. Accord
ing to a bulletin soon to be issued by
Director Durand of the bureau of the
census, department of commerce, the
cotton crop of the United States in
1912 amounted to 14,313,015 bales Of
500 pounds each, and was worth the
drifting sum of 1926, 100000.
Although the crop last year was 11.9
Per cent less than that of the previous
year., it was worth $60,790,000 more
than it was in 1911. This almost
equals the banner year for cotton,
which was in 1910, when the crop
amounted to but 12,005,6SS bales, g.
3O7,327 bales less than it did this year,
but was worth 1868, 1870, 900, the most
valuable cotton crop eve raised in
this country. While 1910 led in
value, 1911 led in amount, the crop
that year being ~16,250,276 bales.
