OBSCURE
BROTHER
Hidden away In a farming commu
nity some five miles from Hudson
Title. Mich., lives Thomas Garfield,
the only brother of the martyred
president, says the Detroit Free Tress.
Neither fame nor riches have been
his portion, but now. In the sunset of,
a long- life that has spelled only toll
for him, he Is happy In the knowledge
that he was one of that army of hus-j
bandmen who first tilled the virgin
oil of the middle west. !
While his distinguished brother was
climbing the ladder of fame he was
engaged in felling the forest and har- j
vesting crops to keep the family lar- j
der supplied.
The old gentleman Is now S3 years
run the farm, and I did It. After I
was 16 years old I began to make con
siderable money breuklng steers and
yoking them for the plough. I guess
I could have made a small fortune
trading In this way, but mother did
not think It was quite right and she
wanted me to stick to the farm.
"The winter I was 21 years old I
came out here to Michigan and lum
bered on the Orand river, near
Georgetown. When I got back to Ohio
I had enough money saved to build a
frame house on the farm for mother
and sisters. Before that we lived in
a log house.
"Mother finally sold the farm and
went to live with James, as he was
principal of a school and was better

obliged to use canes to support him
elf.
This does not keep him from work
ing, it only hampers him, for he still
finds his way to the fields to husk
corn and to see that matters are look
ed after propertly. He Is a typical
farmer, his whole life being wrapped
vp in (he forest and the fields.
"I know that the farmer who knows
how to till his land intelligently Is the
most Independent man in the world."
Mr. Garfield came to Michigan
nearly 40 years ago, purchasing the
farm he now owns, and he has not
been off the place half a dozen times
since.
"I suppose you will think It funny,
but 1 have never been In Washington,"
aid he. "After James had been elect
ed president I went to Mentor to visit
him for a. -Week before h was Inaug
urate While thrre h told me that
It was the worst thing iha$ could have
happened to him. He wanted to go to
the renate where he thought he could
accomplish more good, but the presi
dency was forced on him."
In his simple, homely way, Mr. Gar
field Is Immensely proud of his broth
er, and one of the most cherished pos
.aesslons Is a magnificent pastel photo
graph of the dead president.
"When I started to come home," he
continued. "James came to Cleveland
with me and put me on the train. His
last words to me were: 'Thomas, I
hare to say good-bye to you. You are
going back to your quiet. Michigan
home, while I am going where I shall
have Increased anxieties and cares.'
The next time I saw James he was a
corpstfc."
There (s nothing of the man of the
world about Thomas Garfield. He be
longs to the yimple folk who live close
to nature. Of his brother's political
career he knows little, but the home
life of the family he does know, and
his snarled and knotted hands tel
more eloquently than words could the
atory of the privations and work he
underwent in order that his talented
brother might lay the foundation for
his future greatness.
"I have always been a poor man,"
he ald, "and never knew what It was
not to have to work hard. That has
been my blessing, and I have no re
grets, for political ambition would not
tempt me if I had to live my life over
again. Once In Ohio I was made n
school Insnector. but that Is all. for
J refused to be a justice of the peace.
The only interest I ever took In poll
tics was to vote as I thought right.
"James was a politician from the
lime he was a little fellow. He was a
natural orator and had the best mem
ory of any man I ever saw. He could
listen to a discourse and repeat It,
and once we heard him working out
a sum In algebra in his sleep. When
he rot up In the morning he wrote It
out.
"I only regret that I did not have
the advantage of an education. I was
born near Newburg. O., and father
died when I was only 10 years of age.
1 had a sister two years older and a
sudor younger, and James was then an
infant. P'-ing the oldest son, the hard
ork fell on me.
"When 1 was 12 years old mother
hired me out to split rails, and for
years 1 worked from daylight until
dark, getting two shillings a cord. I
split more rails than Abe Lincoln ever
did. but that did not make me a pres
ident. It was only possible for me to
go to school a day or two at a time,
but I learned to read and write.
"I guess I have cleared as much
forest as any man In the country, and
Mill have ns mm h ambition as ever,
but my old strength is falling me.
Many Is the lime I carried James on
mv bat k to school when the snow-
was too deep for him. I took care of
him until he got through high school
and then he got his life insured, which
carried him through college.
"My duty was to stay at home and
enlist, but they refused to take me on
account of my disability, though they
took my money for a substitute.
"A relative who lived near Byron
had written me that the country was
good, so I came and paid $1000 for
40 acres. Afterward James bought
40 more acres of land for me, and
here I have been ever since. It was
a wilderness then, right In the heart
of the forest and no roads. A little
patch had been cleared on this knoll.
on which stood a frame shanty, and
some trees had been laid out for an
orchard.
"We cleared the place, but it was
hard work. Two years after we came
fire destroyed our home and also
burned 900 pounds of sugar we had
made. However, we never gave up
and got started again. I never had
any ambition to hoard up money.
.Whenever I got a little ahead I always
found Borne plate to-put It.
"James has been here to visit us
several times, but that was before he
was elected president. He wanted me
to go to Washington, but he knew
I was poor and had a family on my
hands, so did not urge It. Of course
J never had. his advantages and I
guess I have simply got to look back
on what I have done and let It go at
that. James earned his way and he
climbed pretty high. After he left
home I did not see much of him, but
If he had lived I would not have had
to work so hard. People don't know
me and I am glad of It, for I am only
a niain farmer, but I would not be
anything else."
Mr. Garfield has been a widower
for the last five years, up to which
time he ran the farm himself, when
rhoiimntlsm laid him low. Now he
makes his home with his only Bon nnd
It tickles the old gentleman Immensely
that he has more hair on his head
than his son, who is ciulte bald.
"How people differ." mused Mr.
Garfield. "James wanted to take my
son, who Is named after him, and
send him through college. The boy
would not have It, as he wanted to go
Into business. He roamed about for
a while, but now he is back taking
care of me. He does not like farm
ing, though, but his son Is a natural
farmer and we could not get along
without him. This Is a good farming
country If the people would only
farm Intelligently, but they do not."
The apple of the old gentleman's
eye Is his granddaughter, a comely lit
tle miss, 15 years of age, who is pre
paring for college.
"She Is more like James than any
of them." he said. "She has his feat
ures and has her nose In a book.
Just like he used to when a boy.
"Well," he said, with a twinkle In
his eye at parting, "my knowledge of
the world at large Is confined to what
I pink up from the papers, but for
ests, farms and hard work I know ail
about. If you doubt me, look at
these." and the Old gentleman proud
ly held out a pair of knotted hands
as evidence of his three-quarters of a
renturv of unremitting toll. Work Is
life to him and work he will until the
last summons calls him to eternal.
Interest was Injected Into the Phil
Ipplne tariff debate In the house to
day by "Massachusetts Idea" tariff ex
pressions by McCall, of that state, by
u character study of the Filipino by
Longworth, o( Ohio, and by a defense
of President Hoosevelt by Pou, a dem
ocrat from North Carolina, says i
Washington dispatch. Besides these
there were a number of speeches de
livered on the merits of the hill, near
ly all of which were In opposition to
it.
Broussard (Dem. La.) opened the
debate. He figured the Philippine
treasury would receive $8.64 on every
ton of sugar shipped from those
Islands to the United States under the
bill; that the shipper would make a
profit because of the tariff concession
of $10.50. With this situation the
Philippines could well afford to ship
here their entire product and buy
sugar for their own use from Java or
other countries.
Broussard asserted with great em
phasis that to reduce the tariff on raw
sugar as contemplated in the bill
would benefit the "sugar trust" more
than anyone else, simply by providing
It with raw material at a less cost.
Asserting that the beet sugar Indus
try waa the essential factor In the suc
cess of the Irrigation projects of the
west, Brooks of Colorado, character
ized as bad statesmanship any move
to cripple It. If let alone, in 10 years
the sugar beet would furnish half the
sugar consumed In the country.
Brooks provoked good-natured ap
pluuse by applying Dalzell's argument
addressed to the beet sugar Industry
"You need no protection, what you
need Is Improved methods" to the
iron and steel Industry of Pittsburg.
The statement of Dalzell that It
would cost $4.13 a hundred to lay
Philippine sugar down In New York,
was disputed by Brooks,' who placed
the figure at $3.55. The friends of the
bill, he said, claimed that under it but
200,000 tons of Philippine sugar would
come here. Beet sugar men were not
afraid of that amount, but were afraid
of the amount they themselves be
lieved would come, and that was from
700,000 to 1,000,000 tons. The Fili
pino laborer who would produce sugar.
Brooks said, wears for clothes a
breechcloth, he gets his breakfast from
a tree, his dinner from the same tree,
and works for 15 cents a day. This Is
the labor that will be placed In com
petition with American labor.
Opposition was made to the bill by
Howell, of Utah, on the ground that
It was not only a menace, but threat
ened the very existence of the beet
sugar industry. He reviewed the In
ceptlon of the beet sugar Industry, at
which time the republican party voted
a bounty of 2 cents a pound to en-
courage It. Now that party, he said.
was about to destroy It.
A brief speech against the bill was
made by McCall, of Massachusetts. He
said, from a tariff standpoint, he saw
no difference to this country between
free trade with Philippines and free
trade with any other country In the
world.
In a 15-mlnute speech, Longworth
of Ohio, gave the house his Impres
sion of his Philippine trip last sum
mer. ' Longworth was greeted with
applause, and marked attention was
given his castigatlon of the Filipino
character. He favored the bill as the
best means of developing the Filipino
Into a condition of self-government, at
which moment he would be more than
glad to drop the Islands. The passage
of the bill, he said, would not damage
one lota any American Industry or
American labor employed In that In
dustry.
"I, for one," continued Longsworth
"am not In favor of holding the Phil
Ipplne Islands as a part of the United
States a moment longer than we an
soiutely have to." This sentiment was
met with general applause, but purtlC'
ularly democratic. "I am In favor o
turning those islands over to the Fll
plno people," continued Longworth,
'to govern themselves at the very first
moment that tney nave proven iu us
they are callable of governing them
selves. How soon that time may come
Providence alone knows, but I
the sooner the bettor." (Applause.)
The debate for the day was closed
by French, of Idaho, In opposition to
the blil, because it Is a danger to the
American beet sugar Industry.
