.MILLING TO DO ANYrHING.r

Under the above heading, an article
in the Detroit Free Press makes some
significant statements from which we
extract the following paragraph:
While a skillful workman can get m
ployment at good wage in New York,
those who are willing to do anything
which means that they know how to do
little or nothing-have no chance at all;
there are a hundred applicants for every
vacancy. mo small number OF the
searchers for places" says a reporter who
has examined the subject, are native
Americans. With neither trade nor pro.
fession, they are forced to take whatever
offers. A thorough classical education,
however desirable il may be, is of little use
in the employment market unless backed
by some useful practical knowled. College
graduates are standing on every corner
looking for work. If any person should
desire to ride up Broadway in 3 coach
drawn by a score of accomplished collie
gians, be would rave no trouble in employ
ing them, even il he offered them no more
than their board" A mau who had
ment,' advertiSes that he wants work Of
any kind where he can earn his board.
These are statements of which We
meet illustrations in every community,
almost every day Of the week. In our
practical country it is becoming a ques-
ton as to whether a classical education
is not more ola hindrance than a help
to a young man starting in life. Not be-
cause the higher education has not
really benefited him in the way Of dis
cipline and development of his intel
lectual faculties, and in this respect, at
least, given him qualifications to sue
coed in any calling, but, with the edu-
cation, he has absorbed. the common
idea that manual labor is vulgar, and
that the trades are not respectable.
In this respect our colleges and public
schools are a drawback to the young
mans success. There is no objection to
the classics, but why Is it not possible,
with the classics, for our institutions OF
learning to extend their Influence into
the domain of the practical, II for no
other purpose, to rid the pupil OF the IL
fusion with which many educated young

THE ~MOYEMENrS OF GOLD,

If the statement of the foreign gold
movement for the present week shows
as large an export a that of last week,
it will put the balance on the wrong
side of the account for US.
Nevertheless, if we sum up the ac-
counts for the past two or three years it
will be found that we still hold the big
end of the balance sheet. The imports
of the precious metal to this country
from 1879 to and including the early
part of the present year, were simply
enormous.
From August l, 1879, to July 81, 1880,
the net imports of gold at New York
amounted to S74, 49,, 1897. The next
financial year from August 1, 1850, to
July 81, 1881, the net imports rose to S95,-
T35, T31,-fgures e touched before In
the history of this country.
Thus, in the twenty-fOur months from
August l, 1879, to July 81, 1881, New
York received S170, sos, l2S of gold from
abroad. But the current financial year
makes a different showing During the
first five months of the year there was
a balance in our favor of about $4,000.
GOO, but in the last four months the ex-
ports have exceeded the imports by
about so, OOO,O O0. Yet, a. we have
said, if the past two or three years are
taken into the account, we have still a
very large balance in our favor.

DEADLY ADULTERATIoss IN

The evil most detrimental to the pub
Lie health, and the most ~stupendous
evil connected with the liquor traffic, is
not that which temperance organiza-
tons most rail against, giving license to
the traffic, but is that which temper
ance organizations cannot be induced
to consider or take any account OF, viz:
the deadly authorizations Of drink.
We are glad to note that the New
York Legislature, among the first in the
land, is endeayoring to provide some
effective and stringent measures to ar
rest this murderous adulteration. A re-
tired wholesale dealer in New York
said, the other day, that 'few liquor
drinkers have the faintest idea of the
extent Of the evil of ad~ulteration."
'Two-thirds ofthe stuffsold for brandy"
said he, "is the meanest kind
of Observation-Disclosures from the oil
of cognsc, with sulphurie acid, copper,
chloroform, fannie acid, Guinea pepper
and a small percentage of real brandy.
Gin, supposed to be a safe drink on &C
count ofits fancied freedom from adult
Grafton, contains oil Of vitrol, oil Of tur-
pentine, oil of almonds, sulphuric ether
and extract of grains of paradise.
Whiskey, the national American drink,
comesin, Of course, for its share of hurt
full treatment. "Pure whiskey," says
the retired New York dealer, twill hurt
no one, when taken in reasonable guam
titles, but this adulterated stuff Is MUIR
derous.'' "Porter and ale, too, are
adulterated, and even beer is not ex-
empt."
We have often insisted that the first
step in any genuine temperance reform
was to reform the drinks-reform the
drunkard through the drinks. 1t is this
adulteration that makes drunkards, that
eats out the stomach of the drinker,
crazes his brain, creates a morbid appe-
tite and deprives a man Of his self-con-
troll. Stop the authorizations and the
evils Of the liquor traffic are more than
half overcome.

strihe.. Prices and PomtIc..

.NtS0 York Herald, Ind. Repabticdn-
II the Republican party in Congress is
wise twill do something toward tighten
ing the burden of taxation before it adj
journs. The outlook for the summer is by
no means as brilliant as could be desired.
Provisions have increased in price, our ex-
ports have fallen off, and there are strikes
and rumors of strikes all over the country,
Thousands of working men who are en-
gagged in one of the greatest of our indus
tries are demanding higher wages. Their
shops are closed and an angry. spirit has
been aroused between them and their EN-.
ployers. The miners in the coal fields are
dissatisfied and it is freely predicted that
before the summer ends We shall have a
repetition of the bloody and disastrous Ia
Dor riots Of q few years ago.
If there were any craftsmanship in the
Republican party it would not obstinately
close its eyes to these facts and persevere in
its insane policy Of robbing the people OF
one hundred and fifty million dollars a
year more than are needed to defray the
expenses of the Government Under the
p~retence of protecting home industry and
the American workingman the supporters
of the present ubiquitous tariff are making
him each year poorer and poorer. Suppose
the industrial situation in the fall is not
any better than it is at present, how can
the Republican party reasonably expect to
be given a renewed lease of power? The
panic of 1873 came at a time when, accord
ing to the Republican orators, the country
was never better off. 1t swept them from
Office. If We should have a financial set
back four or five months hence is it not
very probable that history will again repeat
itcalf .

The New York Sun has been making
a very interesting, if not valuable, in
vestigation into the chief causes of snd-
den increases in newspaper circulation
Going over its own history it finds that
Presidential elections have called for
the biggest increase over the ordinary
circulation and other have
ranked in this order: State and city
elections, last days of great walking
matches, October State elections in
Presidential years, great fires, no
table disasters, hangings in or
near New York. The Sun
INDUCES in numerous congratulations,
and for one thing concludes that news
paper readers care more about Ameri-
can politics than anything else in the
news line. 1t also notes the fact that
the biggest increase, and the biggest
daily circulation that the San ever
reached Was on the morning when the
people learned for the first time that
RUTHERFORD b. HAYES had been beat
en- at the polls in the race for the Presi-
deney and SAMUEL ]. TILDEN had been
elected.

1t is no secret that Daniel B. Lucas, OF

SATIN GLOSS FLOUR!

Listen, housewives, while I tell You Of an och
which befel a Wheeling woman who in bak-
bread did fall; ~
months and months she experimented Win
But the bread resultant either was, heavy, bad,
or sour.
In truth she was a model wife, but almost
The husband growled at meal times and to
"pt aTi Mary a whats iheireason, when you're
such a Splendid cook,
"ThaI our breads SO very soggy and has such
a sad like look?"
With these remarks poor Mary would grow
sadder than her bread,
And to ascertain her failure often worried her
poor head;
She m the matter over pretty nooaiS eNery
And Then though most disconsolate said she'd
"try some other Hour"
Her grocer recommended a sack OF "sArrN
He said. you'll find it bake the best OF bread
and with the smallest loss"
She tTied il and 10! behold loaves white and
And caused within the housewives heart great
thankfulness to glow. o.
Next dinner was q happy n and Mary was
with preisesIrom her husband, for her bread
no more was sad;
But moist and light, with crispy crust, it GER
tainly was nice,
And the flour called SATIN GLOSS was voted
away above all price.
Satin Gloss Flour has been sold
i'm this community for years and
some few, like the above family,
have not yet tried it. Its I'M
varying excellence is remarka-

You will be delighted with It's

Boys Clothing
How to dress a boy has come
to be a very easy ma ter since
the tailor took him in hand.
But there's much more variety
in boys clothing than in mems;
for Fashion leaves much more
liberty in them.
We have ready to put on a
large number of styles of cut
and decoration for every size
and age; and as to sizes
there's no end to them
Our one hundred and thirty
six foot deep store, No. 12I7
Main street, has an especial de-
partment filled with boys
clothing alone. Thither a lady
may bring her boys, with sutt-
cient privacy, and choose from
the many varieties shown, what
ever her taste or means may
commend.
We make for the poor not
less ample provisions than for
the rich. Indeed a large and
important part OF our tradeis in
clothing sold at such prices as
are paid for the himsiest stuff
in many places, For example
$3.50 for a full suit for a little
boy.

that almost daily we hear our customers
speak very highly of it. Calling upon Mr..
George f. Helderle we learned from him
that he had besn suffering very much with
rheumatism. and used many liniments with
out benefit. At last. said he, I found the
desired relief in 81. Jacobs Oil, and can
heartily recommend il as a cure for rheuma-
tism. visit 10 Messrs. W. c. Raymond X
Bro. druggists. 80 Broadway, brought out
the fact that these gentlemen were selling
more st. Jacobs Oil than of any other lini-
ment they ever handled, and with far greater
satisfaction to their patrons These are the
sentiments OF the solid delegation from
Peru, and they are such as are meeting with
universal approval.
