FREE LAND, SEPTEMBER 26, 1898
Now Ready to Beat All Laws.
From Phila. City ami State.
Close upon the announcement of the
incorporation at Trenton, N. J., of what
is to be known as the Federal Steel
Company, a gigantic trust to which has
been granted privileges more swooping
and extensive than over before bestowed
upon any similar concern in the country,
comes the announcement of the forma
tion of a silvorwaro combination of
fifteen of the largest American estab
lishments that manufacture, it is said,
at least three-fourths of the silverware
used in the United States; and following
immediately upon that is the news of
the organization of the American Thread
Trust, with a capital of SI 8,000,000,
which, it is announced, will control
practically the entire cottonthread in
dustry of the country, except the Ameri
can branches of the Coates Company.
These combinations, it will be noticed,
seek New Jersey soil in order to secure
legal name and entity, owing, it is said,
to the few restrictions and the very
light taxation to which they are subject
ed there. Tlio silverware trust is organ
ized with a capital of 330,000,000.
The steel trust, so long in formation,
but which at last has gotten Into shape,
is variously reported of, but by some it
is said that its capital stock is set at
3200,000,000. According to recent state
ments given to the public, the aim of
the company will be to absorb every
thing It may deem needful to Its ends,
that, as said, "it may enter all profitable
fields of industry, from building ships to
controlling the coal trado," anthracite
as well as bituminous.
Significantly, it is said, in connection,
that the more special features of the
combination have been "under consid
oration for a long time, but it has been
difficult to devise a method of conduct
ing the business contemplated without
antagonizing legislation." In plain
words, it now fancios that it has gotten
everything into such shape that with
safety, or without real risk, it can beat
the law.
Pay Push and Keep Out of Debt.
There is ono sure way always to keep
squaro witli the world, says an ex
change, and that is never to go in debt.
This proposition may seem absurd in the
very simpleness, and contains a great
truth. It is common to say the world's
business transactions cannot be carried
on without colossal credit operations.
If you consider a moment you will per
ceive that the world's greatest and most
far-reaching commercial operations are
conduetod on a strictly cash basis. For
instance, when you go to the postoftlcc
to buy two cents' worth or a dollar's
wortli of stamps, do you ask Uncle Sam's
agent to charge them and then send the
bill to you? Docs the government ever
do a credit business on postage stamps?
Again, when you enter a railroad
ollico to buy a tieket to the next town,
do you tell the agent to give you a ticket j
and let you ride on it and you will pay j
him boxt week or next month or next
year? When you travel to Europe, do
you engage your steamer passage on
credit and tell the company you will pay
next year? Or when a man ships a car
load of freight across the country dors
the railway company transport the
freight on credit and tell him lie may
pay six mouths after date?
No, indeed, not any of these things.
Yet the postofßco stamp transactions,
and the freight and passenger carrying
industry Involve the largest financial
operation in the business world in every
land. If a cash business is possible in
these greatest of ail financial transac
tions, it Is possible to every private
individual in every country and at all
times.
It Is becoming more apparent every
day that newspaper advertising will be
in a short while the only rocognizcd
method employed by reputable business
people to place their names and wares
before the public. The principal reason
for the legitimate merchant boycotting
the old-style circular and handbill adver
tislng is that every fraud and Iloecer is
a devoteo of the dodger. As a rule, this
latter class shuns the newspapers; their
business will not stand gonuino publicity.
As a result, tho honorable dealer is
dropping the handbill advertising, so as
not to bo confounded with humbugs, and
is spending his advertising money in
newspapers—the only place advertising
pays-
Winter Is coming on rapidly, and stiil
Birvanton is without protection from
fire. It Is a sad commentary upon the
intelligence of Freeland's council if it
cannot devise some way of giving the
Hill it* just dues. That portion was
annexed almost solely for the purpose of
procuring fire protection, but It scorns
its object Is as far off today as if it had
remained In Foster township.
"ALL THE WHILE."
We may make new homes In coun
tries
Far across the azure sea,
And the paths that know our foot
steps
In a fairer land may be;
But though scenes of rarer beauty y
May our wistful eyes beguile—•
There'll be no home like the old home
That we cherish all the while!
As we wander through the wide world;
Seeking fortune, friends, and fame,
Many hands will reach to grasp ours.
Many lips will speak our name; i
But of all the kindly faces j
That for us will wear a smile,
There'll be no friend like the old
friend,
That has loved us all the while! ,
'l*j| |
Other hearts will learn to lovo U9, Ji
Making sunshine on our way, £ j
Tender links of new affections
Will enchain us day by day;
But as onward still we Journey, * |
Growing wearier mile by mile, f
There'll he no love like the old love, I
That has blest us all the while.
A BARBERRY HEDGE.
The front porch of the Loyd farm
house faced the east. Therefore, at
three o'clock on a Sunday afternoon
In July, it lay In the cool shadow ot
the great white house. Seated among
the gray cushions of the hammock was
Patty Loyd, the only child and the
heiress of the broad acres. Patty waa
a pretty dimpled blonde of twenty. In
a soft, white lawn, with her chestnut
[hair curling away from her low brow,
she made a charming picture,
j The other occupant of the porch waa
John Manchester, the son of Richard
Manchester, whose well-tilled fields
Joined Loyd farm. He was tall, stal
wart and dark, while his thoughtful
face betokened a mind alert and cul
tured.
1 The air was heavy with the scent of
the heliotrope growing on a flower
stand at John's right. The beds ot
geraniums and nasturtiums madq
glowing bits of color on the velvety,
green sward. In the branches of a
great apple-tree a mother robin chirp
ed drowsily to her brood. All waa
peaceful and free from discord.
. But there was a serpent even la
Eden. t'As Seth Loyd, the father of
Patty, came strolling around tha
house, coatless and his face flushed
with the heat, he bore little resemb
lance to the trudltlonal tempter of our
common mother. Still, his entranoq
upon the scene was almost as fatal to
peace and harmony.
Mr. Loyd sat down upon the steps,
fanning himself with his straw hat.
"Hew! Hot weather this, John."
"Yes, it's good for corn," John re
plied, affably. He did not particularly,
enjoy the society of Mr. Loyd. hut he
was Patty's father.
"Yes, but somehow it don't 6eem to
bring on that air piece of yourn over
there," pointing off to the north, where
a corn-field belonging to the Manches
ters was in sight. "Poor lay for crop,
that. What ails it? You progressive
farmers don't seem to have very good
crops after all your talk."
The hot blood colored John's cheeks.
Mr. Loyd was always sneering at his
and his father's farming. Perhaps it
would he as well to speak out concern
ing the corn. In the young man's
vexation he forgot that this disagree
able neighbor was the father of the
pretty girl opposite.
"Oh." he said, defiantly, "that's plain
enough. As long as that hedge of
yours stands there we can't expect
much of crops in the field next to it.
Your own suffer some, but the wind
favors you."
Eh, what's that? What do you
mean?" and the old man sat bolt up
right and glared at John. "It must be
your college learnin' has gone to your
head."
This thrust did not quiet John. His
attendance upon the state Agricultural
College had before been ridiculed by
Mr. Loyd.
"I don't think it has. It may have
opened my eyes to the cause of what
you are pleased to call our failures.
You may not know, sir, that research
has proven that the pollen of the bar
berry-hush is hurtful to many growing
things. Professor Lutz touched on
tho subject while I was at college, and
I have this summer corresponded with
him about this very hedge. He as
sures me that it is a damage to my
father's farm, and could be so proved
in court. "Botanists claim that this
variety of the barberry, the Berberida
cae vulgaris, is "
Here a strange noise Interrupted
him. It was a cross between a snort
and a growl. Only astonishment had
kept Seth Loyd quiet thus fur. The
Latin words, however, restored his
power of speech. He sprang to his
feet with remarkable agility, consider
ing his slxty-flve years.
"You fool!" he shouted. "You
blamed idiot! You never had any
more brains than your father, and that
air schoolln' has spiled 'em. It is a
lie, every word of it,"
John, too, arose. Before he could
speak Patty's soft voice recalled him to
himself.
"Oh. papa, how can you, and on Sun
day, too! He don't mean it, John, ]
know he don't."
John hesitated. Yes, it was—well,
injudicious to say the least, to angei
Patty's father. He bit his lips and
turned half apologetically to the old
man. but the mischief was done.
"You keep still, miss," to Patty. "As
for you, young man, you walk. Don't
you never put foot on my farm ag'in
Hedge hurt your corn! That hedgt
has always been an eyesore to your fa
j thor. I'll defend It, you scoundrel.
Yes, sir, defend It with the last cent
of my money and the last drop of my
blood."
j It was useless to attempt to reason
with him. His rage increased. John
, was obliged to obey him and depart
He humbly asked Patty's pardon, and
' received assurance of her continued
friendship, even while her father was
ordering him never to speak to her
ugain. John strode out of the gate
and down the road, and Patty, her
blue eyes overflowing with tears, took
refuge in her own room,
j Seth Loyd strode into the cool,
quaint, old-fashioned sitting-room,
where his wife was indulging in her
Sunday afternoon nap. Mrs. Loyd
was a meek little woman, who always
managed to fan the flame of her hus
band's anger by her ill-timed efforts to
extinguish it. When his story was
told, she said, tearfully:
"Oh, Seth, I Jest wouldn't. Like as
not, the Manchesters will go to law,
and how it would- sound for folks to
say you was arrested."
This only made matters worse. Mr.
Loyd brought his hands together with
a resounding slap, and shouted:
"I wish they'd try it. I'll show
Dick Manchester who's got the must
money, him or me!"
"Oh, father, don't talk so," and Mrs.
Loyd wiped a tear from her cheek. "I
'most know Patty likes John, and 1
wouldn't have our girl's heart hurt for
all the hedges in the country."
This remark was the one thing need
ed to raise the passion of Seth Loyd to
white heat. Notwithstanding his
long trusteeship in the little church
near by, he swore, with an awful oath,
that Patty should have nothing to do
with the Manchesters.
As for John, he also acted snwisely.
He went straight home, and finding his
father lying under the great walnut
trees which shaded the lawn, he told
him the whole story.
Richard Manchester was a much
younger man than his neighbor. John
was an only child, and as the boy had
been motherless since his birth, there
was little his father had denied him.
But as he listened, the face of the elder
man grew hard and stern. This was
not the first trouble between Seth Loyd
and himself. Manchester's more pro
gressive ways of farming had always
been ridiculed by the old man, and
more especially had this been the case
In the last few years since these very
ways had begun to bring in large re
turns. The hedge had already been a
source of dispute, us it took the place
of a line fence, and had, when small,
often been passed over and trodden on
by Manchester's cattle.
"I think I've stood enough from Seth
Loyd," Mr. Manchester, senior, said,
firmly. "I believe I'll test the matter
of the hedge in the courts, although I
am opposed, on general principles, to
lawlng. You kept Professor Lutz's
letters, didn't you, John?"
"Yes, sir, but "
"But what?" the father asked, im
patiently. "I hope old Loyd did not
frighten you?"
"I don't think I am afraid," John an-
Bwored, smiling a little. "But there's
Patty."
"Patty? Oh, yes, I see. Well, John,
I'll go a little slow for your sake, but
Seth Loyd will never overlook what
happened to-day."
Time proved the truth of Richard
Manchester's words. Seth Loyd let no
opportunity of annoying his neighbor
go unimproved. Several times hot
words passed between the two men.
John and Patty met at church and
in various social ways. There was
little chance for conversation, and
John determined to see the girl alone
and come to a definite understanding
with her. Fortune soon fuvored him.
One sunny afternoon he was drilling
wheat. As he turned his team he
caught a glimpse of a trim little figure
in dark blue strolling leisurely along
the road only a few rods from him.
John tied his horse to a convenient
tree, hurried across the field, leaped
over the fence, and stood leaning
against the trunk of a beech when
Patty approached.
She started, but the look of Joy in
her eyes did not escape John's notice.
"Come. Patty, and sit down here,"
he said, imperatively. "I must talk
to you, and there's no telling when I
can see you again."
Patty obeyed unquestldnlngly, and
he took his place at her side. The
sunlight peered down at them through
the screen of silver-green leaves, bring
ing out glints of brightness in Patty's
hair, and In the goldenrod In her lap,
and a squirrel paused to eye them cur
iously; but they heeded none of these.
There, once more, the story of love
was told, the story each retelling of
which Is the crown of some life.
"Yes, I love you, John," Patty said,
her cheeks aglow, "but papa will never,
never consent, and I dare not oppose
him."
They talked for a long time. John
wished to go straight to Seth Loyd and
tell him of the engagement, but Patty
would not consent.
"We must wait," she said. "Any
more trouble would break mamma's
heart. I don't know bow it will come
out, but, John, I will always be true
to you."
With this John was obliged to be
content. Patty bade him a tearful
farewell and went on her way. He
sighed as he went back across the
field. Surely it was hard that two
young lives should be overshadowed
by—yes, by a barberry hedge. John
smiled and threw back his shoulders
proudly. He would wait patiently
for a time, but in the end Patty should
be his wife.
The autumn wore away, and still the
.trouble about the hedge increased.
|vfr. Loyd was planning to set another
barberry hedge between his farm and
Manchester's. When Richard Man
chester learned this he consulted t
lawyer, and the trouble was farthei
from a peaceful settlement than ever
On a frosty morning late In Novem
ber Mr. Loyd started for the corn
| field, which lay at the extreme baci
, part of his large farm. He was no;
I feeling well, so he hitched a horse ti
[ his cart and drove back along the lam
until he reached the field where tb
huskers were busy. Hitching tin
horse to the fence, he went forward t<
Inspect the work.
When Seth Loyd drove back alon|
the lane he was in a bad humor. Then
was no use in closing his eyes to thi
fact—his farm was not doing as wel
as when he was able to personally givi
It his attention.
"Everything is going to ruin," hi
muttered, shivering as the raw wim
smote his face. "If I Jest had a son
Not but Patty's a girl any man miglr
j be proud of, but a boy would look aftei
| things for me. There, I believe thi
j top's blowed plumb oft of that stack o
clover-seed. I told Collins it wasn',
I right, but you never see a hired mai
j you can tell anything these days."
j He drove his horse through the opet
j gate and across the field in the direc
i tion of the stack. The young horsi
j threw up her head impatiently at be
j lng turned aside from her way to thi
1 barn.
| # This field was the one separated fron
! the Manchester farm by the disputec
! hedge. Seth Loyd glanced com
placently at the neatly trimmed shrubs
"Looks pretty well In spite of Did
Manchester's grumbling. I'll show
I him—hey, there, Topsy! Whoai
, Whoa, 1 say!"
! A flock of his own turkeys had taket
I refuge under the barberry hedge. Th(
patriarch of the flock, a huge bronzi
gobbler, advanced in front of the horse
j his wings spread and his shrill voici
j raised.
j Topsy shied. The angry voice of hei
master and the jerk of the lines addei
|to her excitement. A moment latei
she was running wildly across the field
with Seth Loyd vainly pulling at thi
reins and shouting for help.
The old man was sorely frightened
Directly at the foot of the hill whlcl
; Topsy was descending at breakneel
speed was a narrow gully in whicl
stones and refuse had been thrown
There the cart would be overturned
j Certain death awaited him unless thi
horse was stopped.
She was stopped. A man leapet
over the hedge, strong hands caugh
i Topsy's bits, and John Manchester'i
1 voice bade Mr. Loyd dismount.
He did so, catching his foot and fall
I ing headlong. By the time he had re
gained his feet the men who had beei
j working in the field with John hac
' reached the spot. One of these helt
the horse by the head, the rest weri
gathered about a figure which laj
prone upon the ground,
j "Eh, what's the matter?" Mr. Loyc
asked, making his way forward.
! "That brute of a horse has about
killed John," one of the men said
| "His arm is broken, besides that hurt
on his head, and I don't know what
else."
J John Manchester opened his eyes
' and supported by one of his cornpan
| ions, struggled to a sitting posture
Although suffering severe pain, hi
i smiled faintly when he met the guzi
I of Seth Loyd.
I "Hope you'll excuse my trespassing,'
he said, In a hoarse voice. "I really
, forgot under the excitement of thi
! moment that you had forbidden my
coming on your premises."
The words died away on his lips, ant
he sank back, pale and speechless. Seth
j Loyd's wrinkled face worked plteously
! as he turned to the group of men.
J "He hain't dead, Is he? 'Cause if hi
is, 'twas me and the barberry hedgi
that killed him."
It was late the next morning whet
John Manchester woke from a troubled
i sleep. The doctor hud pronounced bis
injuries serious, but not dangerous
Some one was sitting close by his bed
and he slowly turned his aching head
j to see who It was.
j "How are you feeling, dear?" and
Patty bent over the pillow,
j "You here, Patty! Oh, my darling
what does it mean?"
| "Hush, you are not to talk. Papa senl
me here to help take care of you. It'i
all right, John. He, he said," and thi
blushing face dropped low, "that you
must get well enough for a wedding
! on Christmas. That isn't all. See,
| John," and she darted to the window
J and raised the shade,
i The barberry hedge was in plaic
< sight. John saw the teams and hired
men of Mr. Loyd hard at work pulling
up the shrubs by the roots.
"Papa said to tell you and your fath
er that the barberry hedge and the
trouble It made were things of the
i past," Patty said, slipping her soft
I hand into that of her lover.
JUPUIIOMC Imitation.
j The Japanese are almost universally
condemned by writers for the imita
tion practiced by them of late years
i of western literature, art, science and
| invention. And yet this imitation
| seems natural and right. Imagine, 11
possible, the nation of Japan leaping
j across the civilization of hundreds ol
| years in half a century. Think of hei
emerging from the darkness of the
middle ages and standing suddenly
forth in the light of the nineteenth
| century. Would It not have been
; worse than madness for her to have
[ said, "This new civilization is bettct
than ours, yet we will not imitate it
, We will retain eur originality, and per
haps in ages to come wo shall reach
the enlightened state now enjoyed by
the rest of the world."
But fortunately the Japanese did nol
say this, but gave themselves up to the
acquisition of the wonderful stores ol
knowledge opened to them.

Our GOIIIIIIIhhIUII Arranged at Havana 80
That We May Send Food lJuty Free, to
Tlietie Harbor* for Cuban Soldiers and

Havana, September 22—Preparations
have been made by the American Evac
uation Commission to take immediate
possesion of the ports of Bahia Honda,
west of Havana on the north coast,
and Jucaro, far east on the south
coast, according to an agreement made
with the Spanish Commission and
Captain-General Blanco. The conces
sion of the ports by the Spaniards was
made three days ago, when Gen. Blan
co summoned an extraordinary coun
cil of the Colonial Cabinet and pre
sented to it the request of the Ameri
cans that these ports be opened for the
importation of food.
The matter was kept a strict secret
until to-day. Gen. Blanco, acting ac
cording to his policy, favored the con
cession in order to avoid future trou
ble concerning the importation of food
free of duty.
In his note preferring the request
Gen. Wade, of the American Commis
sion, pointed out that the policy of the
American Administration, since the
beginning of the war had been to feed
the reconcentrados. In addition to
this the commission had received many
petitions from the starving Insurgents
praying that steps be taken to secure
the free Importation of provisions. A
long letter had also been received from
Gen. Gomez, the commander-in-chief
of the Insurgent army, who argued
that the Spaniards, as previously
cabled In detail should lie made to
evacuate the port of Calbarien In order
that provisions might be imported for
the Cuban army.
It is said by the Spaniards that Gen.
Blanco was not free to act on his own
responsibility in the matter of the free
Importation of provisions, and that he
hud to comply with the existing cus
toms regulations. In the case of the
Comal he offered to pay the duties on
her cargo and to meet the expenses of
landing it. but he could not authorize
the free distribution of food with
warrant from the authorities while
Havana was still in possession of
Spain.
The solution now reached is best for
both governments, pending the total
evacuation of the island. The Ameri
cans will now introduce food freely by
way of Bahia Honda and Jucaro, and
distribute it under their own flag.
