rrus Instruction and Education.

To ne Editor Of the Register:
SIR-As Mr.. Powderly has come out in
a letter advocating Education as the
panaeea for all the evils which beset men,
I write to ask you to publish the enclosed
extract taken from the NeW Church Life Of
April, which gives the idea Of education
held by New Churchmen, that unless the
spiritual and moral nature are developed
the intellectual development only equips
the person for the commission of crime.
It is e common idea, one regarded Rs q
truism by many people, that education
prevents crime. True instruction and
education, such as the New Church
schools can or ought to give, no doubt
does much 10 lead men to shun their evils,
bat even this must respect their freedom.
But education" as it Is commonly given
in public and private schools, seems
rather, if anything, to foster crime. The
cause of this is very apparent. The child
Is simply taught certain sciences and
that is ail. His natural evils ore only
checked for the sake OF order, and being
left alone they make use of the sciences
he is Taught. Oar attention was called
recently to an article in the Journal Of In
dusiridl Education in which are some fig
ures fOrci5ly emphasizing the Importance
Of something more than mere education"
So il is given III the schools OF the world.
The writer of the article, Mr.. Ethelbert
Stewart, takes the statistics of the East.
trn PeEitentiaIy Of Pennsylvania, and
shows thst of the five hundred and fifty
two cOnvicts received in 1856, not less
than four hundred and seyeuty-seyen had
a fair c~ommOn-schOol education. He also
shows, aud this eXplOdes another very
popular fsllacy, thar Of this number, one
hundred and four were total abstainers, "
In 1885 there were received five
hundred and siXty-four convicts OF
whom five hundred and fifteen had
been Sunday scholars and ninety-nine were
total abstaiuers. Taking these figures
and keeping in mind the comparatively
small number OF total a~bStaiaers i'll the
country, it will be seen that, if the reesOn-
ing be correct on which is based the con-
c~lusiOus that drink occasions crime, 1t
would follow that total ahstainance is far
more provocative Of crime than liquor.
Between the years 1876 and 1885 there
were one thousand and sixty-nine cOnv,cts
received under the age Of t~enty-One, And
of these eight hundred and sixty-fOur bad
received q common school education. Oh
the one thousand four hundred and ninety
four cony;cts in the Joliet Penitentiary, IL
linois, one thousand and eighty seven had
received a commOn-school education, and
one hundred and twenty seven were col
lege graduates; Jour hundred and thiIteen
were 'iutemperate," and three hundred
and seventeen were total abstinence"

TARIFF REFORM THEN AND NOW

TARIFF REFORM THEN AND NOW.
The power OF The gigantic monopolies
that are combined h oppose the MILLS
bill is no where shown with more startling
clearness than ia the name in which
they cOerce moderate Republicans to their
views. The turces OF monopoly are SUI
pTsme IN the Republican patty. At
their command it has arrsyed itself against
the one great tax reform demanded by the
people. The conservative leader who be-
lieyes that the laws should be equally and
Justly administered, that taxes should be
imposed and expended for the good Of the
whole people, and not to enable a favored
few to accumulate unearued fortunes of
Of the labor Of the many, can find no
room to stand in such an organization,
He must either fOrsake its ranks, or fellow
and do the biddings Of every protected
combination or trust
The Republican leaders have been gradu-
ally forced by these gigantic powers in
their own party to 90 further and further
in unjust and oppressive taxation. A
startling illustration IS shown 10 the opin-
ions of JOHN SHERMAN, and the changes
they have undergone through the stress Of
party influences during twenty years Of
high protection.
In 1861 the country was passing through
a crisis similar to the present one. War
taxes bad piled up until 4 reduction
of revenue was indispensable. Yearly
revenues from custom duties reached
$50, 900, 600. JOHN SHERMAN WA in
the Senate and earnestly advocated a
reduction Of tariff rates amounting
to so, OaO,G COO. Ia a speech on the
the pending tariff bill, he said: ITO talk
abOnt q protective tariff is unnecessary, be-
cause the wit Of man conld not possibly
frame a tariff that would produce $780,
OOO, 600 il gold without amply protecting
our domestic industries"
At the end Of tine present year the sur
plus IN the Nulttu CtAteS 1EeaSury Will
amount to over $3.50, OOO, 600. The income
from tariff taxes alone in che year of 1887
was $2I7. coo, 900, forty million dollars
in excess 81 me amount which JOHN
SHERMAN cll;med was $40, 600, 600 more
than enough to afford ample protection to
Americas ~''infant industries" in 1867.
Do thcse hungry infants need more pro-
lection now than they did twenty years
ego? Has two decades of excessive and
unjust taxation, decades which
have enriched protected industries
at the expense of the great
consuming classes Of the land, left
them unable TO stand alone?
In 1872 there wa again need Of redue-
ing the Surplus. A Republican Congress
passed 9 measure cutting of ffty-three
million dollars from the sum Of custom
duties. Mr.. SIBERIAN was sgsin in the
Senate in 1872, and again he appeared as
the champion Of tariff reform.
In 8 carefully prepared speech Mr..

mighty in Republican councils, has fallen
from grace. Tns Republican party has Z
very hot poker to handle in the ex-senator
and there is 20 letting loose. Classieally
speaking, be has the bulge on them.
His opponents were knocked out ia the

Committee, and despite the revolt Of his
