II proposes. also, to allow legal tenders
to be received instead of gold and silver {
for the payment Of import duties These (
$50 millions of 6 per cent. bonds are 10 ]
be held for sale in order TO secure coin
to secure the payment OF h remaining (
greenbacks. Thus u whole legal ,
tender circulation will be provided for, I
and the promises of he government 10 {
nav will appreciate in value to gold
itself. The scheme is, to say the least,
profound and ingenious. How 1t will
work on trial remains to be seen.
After the a~brOgatiOn Of the reciprocity
treaty with England, the Kanucks for a
while boosted that they eonld paddle
their own canoes. The increasing pres
sure, however, has wrung from them
reluctant acknowledgment that they
cannot get along without us. The TACT
is. their position is anomalous and eX-
poses them to crushing evils. Ihey
cannot retain even their native popula-
ton, much less the immigrants from
Europe tina are wheedled into CANADA.
1t is impossible that two English speak
ing nations should subs,st to advantage
on the same continent. The Ottawa

mercial treaty. Let them say a treaty OF
annexation and they will strike the tue
line of commercial policy.
The Cincinnati Price Current, which
gives special attention to the hog crop OF
The west. from extensive correspondence
and intelligent estimates, sets down the
number of hogs packed during the cur
rent season at 1,572,425 against l,4Sl,O3 9
last season. 1t is very comfortable to
see this great element OF subsistence
enlarging from year 10 year. Last wears
crop was the largest yet packed, yet this
year will show an excess OF nearly lW,OOO
over last.
Texas is is q sunny State. She was
the last one added to the domain OF
slavery in the Union. On her soil in
the late rebellion the last armed foe
\ expired. She was the last to put
! school books into the hands OF her
! children. Now the sad intelligence
comes by mail flor they never serd
such by telegraph from that country
that the free school system put In
operation under the Republican rule
is to be abolished THAI is, thetax Tor
the support of the schools is not to be
collected. The schOlastics population
of Texas.is 229, 56S, with an adult INT
eracy Of 70,S95 whites and l50.6lf
blacks. Its total population is olS,-
$40, with an area oil 25I,jzl square
miles. In all this territory ana Ior
all these people, when the Kepuoll-
cans came into power in 1870, there
were but two free school buildings
In spite of great political opposition
and violence towards teachers, n
first seasons work of superintendent
DsGress resulted in the establishment
