gumonts in their order.
In tho first plnco, logic Ia vory fallibte guido
In politics. Government ,H q necessary owl,
not MI unmlxol good. It Is resortod to as a
choice hctwoon ovila made nocoaeary by the i'm
perlections Of mankind. WhRtover It docs fs
both good and bad. Whom 1t undertakes to GU
force principle, its frat atops may do moro
good than harm. It docs not, therefore, follow
that tho last atopB would bo In tho san1e ca.o
CORY. Tho logicnl outgrowth Of tho protective
system would DO tho closing Of our ports to all
foreign ships and foreign products, tho building
Of a legal Chinoso Vail around tho country. Yot
tho oxtromest protootfopist would call this folly.
Tho logical outgrowth Of tho Issue Of irredoom-
ablo currency 'to suit tho moods Of tho country
would bo tho manufacture by each man OF as
much rag-monoy rs ho noodel, but evon gonator
Logan might perhaps dotoot tho fallaoy In this.
Tho logical outgrowth Of tic State manage
mcnt Of tho Post OClce would bo Its con-
troll Of tho business OF almost ali great
corporations, especially tho telographa and
railroads Tho logical outgrowth Of tho funda-
monta1 doctrine Of institutions, Tint govern
monta dorivo all their just powors from
tho conHent Of the governed, would 10 the
instant endowment Of women, Ohinoso, aud
Indians with the franchise. But 1t is Idle to
multiply examples. Within certain sphere
Government usually doea good. Outside Of 1t,
1t usually does harm though 1t advancos in
strnfght line from the ccntre to tho circumfer-
cnco and boyond.l
It is truo TINT Germany, Which aids schools
and universities alike, has bettor facilities for
the higbor education than no. This does not
prove, however, that tho difference Ia cauBed by
tho different attitude Of tho State. = aorman
thoroughneas tho American restlossnesa under
school restraint and anxiety to "get into tho
world II tho greater multiplicity OF eocta hero
and tho resulting multitude OF petty eolegoa;
tho creator appreciation Of learning abroad
and nil tho numberlcas advantages offered tho
student by an old, aa distinguished from new,
civilization,-thoso conditions sorYo to explain
moat, il not all. Of tho differences between our
universities and the German, 60 far as thobo dIf-
,oropcos are ia our disadvantavo.
