On January 9, 1863, with the aftermath of Fred
ericksburg on his hands, ed the mooted appoint
ment of Hooker to chief command and a thousand
and one other things 'obsessing his mind and his
heart, Lincoln telegraphed his wife at Philadel-
phia:
MRS. Lincoln, Philadelphia, Pa
Think you had better put Tad's pistol away. l
had an ugly dream about him.
"A. LINCOLN"
In August of the same year, the month after the
surrender Of Vieksburg, we find Lincoln writing
to his wife:
"Tell dear Tad poor Nanny Goat is lost, and
Mrs. Cuthbert and / are in distress about it. The
day you left Nanny was found resting herself and
chewing her little cud on the middle of Tad's
bed; but now she's gone! The gardener kept COM
planting that She destroyed the flowers, till it was
concluded to bring her down to the White House.
This was done, and the second day she had disap.
peared, and has not been heard of since. This is
the last we know of poor Nanny"
The next year there were two goats, and Lin
coin incurred the cordial displeasure of his en-
tourage by his fondness for the society of these
animals.
1t seemed to be Lincoln's peculiar misfortune
to be surrounded most of the time by people who
knew not the meaning Of the expression, THE saw
ing sense of humor!" The mere hint of an appro-
pirate parable, or a quotation from Artemus
Ward, was enough to excite Secretary Stanton.
Senator Wade strobe in one day like a rotary
snowplow and wanted Grant dismissed. Grant
had been winning victories, sleeping on the
ground with no overcoat or blanket and with a
toothbrush for his entire baggage. Halleck and
Mcclellan had had him arrested for drunken
ness;' Lincoln had often been asked to remove
him, and had replied, Il cant spare that man; he
fights"
So when Wade came in with the demand that

you It's always a story! You are the father of

the war. You are on your road to hell, sir, with
this government, by your obstinacy; and you are
not a mile off this minute"

Pntntnes mud Rice

Reports indicate that potatoes are
another food product which foreign
countries will grow for Americans
under the Democratic tariff law
We have been growing almost all
the potatoes we have needed, for in
stance, the last two months of 1912
under Republican tariff, only Al 900
bushels of potatoes were imported
into the United States, In the last
two months of last year, under a
Democratic tariff, nearly 100000
bushels of potatoes were brought in
to this country This means that more
than million dollars which had been
going into the pockets of American
potato raisers were sent to foreign
potato growers 1t is reported that
the foreign acreage of potatoes is to
be doubled and hereafter increased
year by year
The southern rice growers have
faired better at the hands of the
Democratic tariS makers The Wilson
tariff imposes a duty of almost sixty
cents a bushel on rice.

question and what his people say to
MN may not be pleasant, declares an

Is an iron-producing center. Its
manufacturers do not seem to think
much Of the Democratic revision Of
me tarin, If we may Judge from an
article by Edwin c. Eckel in the Bal
t1more Manufacturers Record, in
which the writer says
AT the outset, there arises the
question as to whether the revised
tariffs will help in any way through
possible reductions in manufacturing
costs. The advocates of low tariffs
always imply, even If they do not state
directly, that all our American in
dustries will benefit in the long run
from lower tariffs, even If they suffer
temporary disarrangement. Now, it is
OBVIOUS that such benefits must be
derived either from o. increased
selling prices, ~ wider markets or
tS) decreased manufacturing costs
Unless the low tariff helps out in one
OF these three directions. its final
effect must be bad.
"of the three possible good effects,
1t will be clear enough that a low
tariff certainly does not increase the
average price obtainable for iron
products. AS for the effect of the new
tariff on markets, it will be seen later
that far from broadening them, It has
already shown tendency toward
making them narrower, so far as
southern furnaces are concerned. The
only possible remaining direct adj
vantage of low tariffs must lie, there
fore, in the direction Of decreased
manufacturing costs.
AS the southern iron industry is
entirely self-contained, supplying it.
self with ore and coke from its own
local reserves, 1t can be seen that the
decrease in costs must come about
either through increased efficiency OF
the labor now employed, or through
decreases in the rate of wages paid
1t is indeed likely enough that there
will be certain economies effected
finally along both of these lines; but
it does not seem likely that any
political party will claim credit for
either of these effects of the new
tariff. Votes do not come to politi-
clan because he has succeeded in
giving men the alternative between
working harder for the same pay or
taking less pay for the same work"
When the Democratic party in the
Illuminating presence of past expert
ence deliberately committed the same
economic error for the third time, it
wrote itself down incompetent. The
ship of prosperity is running on the
rocks again. The passengers can not
get a new pilot too soon.

intact and not to have any amalga-
nation with the Republican party.
1t knows that it attained power
through division of those opposed to
it and the fact that the breach is fast
closing impels it to strenuous and
desperate efforts now to delude Pro-
gressives that it is their duty to CON

based solely on the hope that by his

A Dull GRAY Color.

Secretary of Commerce Redfield, the
humorist of President Wilson's cabi-
net, has placed the business atmos-
phere of the country on a sort of
commercial weather map such as is
used by the weather bureau, and has
discovered that prosperity exists only
in one manufacturing industry, and
that but in single locality This is
in and about the Lake area where
automobiles are made" and where, he
says, a high barometer also pre-
walls"
Mr.. Redfield announced his startling
discovery in the course OF an address
delivered before the Chamber OF Com
merce at Raleigh, n. c., the day be-,
fore yesterday. He discussed business
conditions-that is, he was supposed to
discuss them but nowhere in the course
OF his testing does he get nearer to
industrial business, which the Demo-
cratic tariff principally affects, than
his brief allusion to certain auto
mobile manufacturing district. Doubt
less he based this barometrical con
lecture upon recent. announcements
that thousands of men had been laid
off or had had their wages reduced
in the automobile factories therein
Guiding the Ford plant, where a
philanthropical experiment is being
worked out. Mr.. Redfeld also likely
had in mind the recent storming OF
| that plant by many thousands of
workmen looking for work.

of the country, where the bulk of our
wheat is grown" informed the secre-
tary of laughter. would be another
great area of fair weather and high
pressure. Over the great cotton areas
Of the South would be no depression,
| not even unsettled conditions, but a
normal looking for great agricultural
favors expected to come" "Over the
northwestern states would be found
a section of loo barometer and
marked depression. If the state OF
mind of the different parts OF the
country could be shaded in colors,"
he continued "the great body of the
West would be white, while an area
of dull gray would represent our
northwestern states"
The national court jester seems to
have borrowed a pair of spcctacles
from the federal Department of Agri-
couture with which to scan the bust
ness map. He could see nothing save
few automobile factories but the
wheat of the West and the cotton
of the South. The great manufacture
ing industries of the country, from
which the bulk of complaint has come
regarding the Democratic tariff act,
were not discernible to the Redfield
eye They were, most likely, obscured
by that dull gray color with which
he shaded part of his map. And. the
fact also seems to have been over
