A marked and a very unpleasant re sc.lt of the education the government furnishes the young men who are sub sisted and trained through four years that they may uphold the interests of the country in war is that so many of lheui are intent an upholding the manu facturing interests of foreign countries. When it seemed that "dough face" force could no longer prevent our hav ing a navy Commander Sole.v came promptly to the front with rather more than advice that we should buy our warships in England. During the de hale in July,-188(5. over armor plate for tlie ships to be built under the Cleve l.iwd administration Congressman Bon telie said that two or three officers of tbe navy were receiving pay as agents for European armor makers, and tbe name of one of them was thought to be well known. Then and later they vi re clamorous for building all our new warships in the navy yards of the gov ernment, a proposition that bad the support of that administration, but did not secure support from Secretary Tracy in tbe Harrison administration. Tlit; records of the army are not so bad. though a great many have pre ferred the superior case of a gun fac tory to other service. Put neither their hostility to the development of the American iron trade nor their disregard fit' the possibility of American work- j men competing with foreign workmen in furnishing warships and armament j in foreign nations has been as pro nounced as with tbe navy. Now Captain Pendleton, superintend ent of the naval gun factory at the Washington navy yard, wants $4,000,- noit for an addition to the already con gridcrable gun factory at that point. Of course he says be can make guns cheaper than we can buy them, l'os i sihly. not counting interest and depre elaiii.ii. he can, but the plan is to de stroy individual initiative and to thor oughly prevent any competition on our pun that would tend to be troublesome to the heirs of llcrr Krupp or the stock holders of the Armstrongs. Captain Pendleton cannot do the ship builders and armament nuikers of Eu rope a greater service than by procur ing that $4,000,000 and thereby so dis couraging tlie manufacture of heavy ordnance here that it will he impossi ble tor us to sell foreign governments warships built and fitted out iu this country. A.i liiNuflieient Kxplitrmtinii. A recent editorial in the Iron and Coal Trades Review of London, call ing attention to the probable German production of pig iron for this year, which it puts at over 10.000,000 tons, or 1,.-|OO,OOO tons over the British prod uct. says: "Until now Germany has I ecu well behind Great Britain In her pig Iron output. This notable advance is mainly due to the expansion of the mines and iron making resources of Lorraine and Luxemburg, although In other districts the progress has- been considerable." Quite so. But this does not explain t). ■ expansion. America and Germany will make, thanks to their protective tariffs, between 25,000,000 and 20.000,- tiUO tons of pig iron this year as against between 8.000,000 and 0,000.000 tons in Great Britain. Our readers are asked to figure on the probable cost of pig lion i;' the free traders had their way and we were dependent on Great Brit ain alone for our supply. Of course no free trade or British paper will admit that protection has caused expansion and tbe consequent low prices. Gxpeet >ll into Vi lli. The London report that Joseph Cham berlain is discouraged over tbe outlook l'ur his higher tariff campaign and that lie is canceling bis speaking en gagements sounds like an invention of the Liberal free traders. Whatever else l'.is been made clear, it is that the stumping success lias been with Cham berlain. His strategic ability and ca pacity for picking out tlie weak points of the opposition have never been more remarkably evident. Tbe tide must have changed wonderfully if it is sweeping hopelessly against him. The most competent observers who have been in England this fall and English men who have come over here have been expecting him to win.—Boston Kecord. A CoiltniNt. "The United States, under protec tion," said Mr. Chamberlain, "had reached prosperity unequalcd in the wofld. In no other country was wealth so evenly distributed, while there was no country in tbe world where such a large proportion of the population was on the verge of hunger and distress as In Great Britain." Thirty years ago Bismarck said the r.anie tiling. Then the English were •aylng our tariff was benighted. Ger many, however, started on a career of prosperity. It is possible England will follow. Protection ximl Production. A significant feature of the protec tive system is that it promotes high production and organization anil in vokes such economy in iho use of in vention and oT machinery that «air jor.nufactiirers can easily unload their "idle surplus" onto an admiring world. When our domestic market is down at the heel, we lack the necessary incen tive. This is not theory. It is 1800 compared with 1003.—Boston Journal. TI'E GHAKGE Conducted by J. W. DARROW, Chatham. N.

Fuller, overseer of New York state grange, was born on Edge wood farm, where he now lives, in 1800. Seventy-five years ago tbe Ful ler faintly emigrated from Saratoga county, X. Y., to tlie Black river coun try and located on this farm, which has been tbe home of tbe family for four genera f tlons. Mr. Ful- W. ler was educat |( P<l iu * ves M l' ots <jain nor ' I er completing JfV W bis course in the normal he fol lowed tbe pur uWtm\ gmlra suit of teaching for two years. \\ lUI On the death of his father in UEOUUE A. 1 ULI.KR. j I(J ag g uru . cd the management of the farm and since that time has been practically en gaged in developing the fann to its highest point of producing capacity. Mr. Fuller has given special attention to dairying and has succeeded in get ting together one of tbe finest dairies in northern New York, the milk from which is manufactured into fancy cheese on tbe farm for half the year iind shipped to New York the balance of the year. Mr. Fuller has always been a firm be liever in organization and co-operation among farmers and in 1880 became a member of Philadelphia grange. No. 114. Soon after joining the grange he was elected secretary and has filled nearly every office in the grange since, serving two terms as master. In 1800 UP was elected lecturer of Jefferson county l'oniona grange and served un til 181)8, when be was elected master of that body. In 1900 Mr. Fuller was elected overseer of New York state grange, which position he has since hefd. THINGS HAVE CHANGED. Tlie Governor of New lltimpNlilrc and S|»a Attend a I'omonii tlrunKe. We had the great pleasure of being present at tbe session of Eastern New Hampshire Pomona at the ball of Do ver grange, Dover, recently, says a writer in the Maine Farmer, and meet ing the hundreds of Patrons who with their friends completely filled the large ball and anterooms. To those acquaint ed with the grange in earlier days the great change in public sentiment was indeed marked, for facing the audience sat the honored governor of the state with his staff rich iu gold lace and with them the members of tbe city govern ment, pastors of the churches, superin tendents of schools and other notable officials, who left their business to honor the grange and testify their ap preciation of its service to the state. A rich feast was spread by the hard working patrons of Dover grange, fully 3C>O being seated at tbe tables. Governor Baehelder filled the chair wf state master for twelve years, and un ci"! - his wise administration the Order not only has attained its present growth, but called to its support every friend of tbe Granite State. C«ntiiu<» Center of Communication. The Pennsylvania state grange lias established a medium of exchange be tween tlie producer and consumer of surplus products. The work is in charge of S. B. Day of Washington, Pa., who has received many hundreds of letters from Patrons all over the state. It is intended to publish an ex change bulletin which will contain a list of all the wants and for sale arti cles reported to the committee. This bulletin will be published as often as necessary? and a copy of each issue will be mailed to every subor dinate grange in the state. After be ing read in the grange meetings it will be posted up in the halls for the ben efit of all. The name and address of each person having anything to sell or desirous of purchasing any special arti cles will appear in tbe list, so that buy ers and sellers may communicate di rectly with each other. The bulletin will be published by the state grange. Tlie I.ecturer'N Work. The systematic organization of the lecturer's work in tbe Michigan state grange lias given a practical value to the educational influence of tlie grange never possessed before. So says tbe Michigan Farmer. And what is true of the work in Michigan may be and should be true of tbe lecturer's work in every state. There is now a lack of systematic effort in many states, and this tends to lessen the influence and minimize the results of grange work. Mr. B. It. Lord, the husband of Mrs. Elizabeth I.ord. lecturer of New York state grange, died Jan. 10 at Sinclair ville, N. Y. He was a noted breeder of tine stock and a public spirited citizen, lie was a member of Sinclairville grange of Chautauqua county. Michigan seems to lie doing more in the line of co-operative buying than any other grange state: It is chiefly iu land phosphate, wire fencing and binder twin-. An effort will be made by the Po mona grui.ge of Jefferson county, X. V., to have a uniform programme fo.« all subordinate granges. John D. Reeser's Big Store, I ink Block, Onshore, Penn'a.
