NORTHWESTERN CROPS.
The Damage BY Frosts Not So Bad
As Reported.


ST. PAUL, August 25.-Crop reports to
the Pioneer Press do not materially modi-
fly the favorable forecast of last week.
Harvesting is under way along the lines
Of the Northern Pacific and in Manitoba,
and the weather is clear and has been so
for several days. The predictions in
regard to an abundant yield are verified.
Chamberlain, Dak., reports the largest
crop ever known in that country, ranging
from nineteen to thirty bushels per acre.
Reports in regard to frosted wheat are
contradictory. In the DEVILS Lake dis
trict so per cent. of the crop is said to be
affected. The actual damage in most
cases is to isolated fields, and if mixing
could be avoided the aggregate of frosted
wheat would be small. The weekly
crop report of the Northern Pacific Com
pany says: It is thought that the frost
did not effect the yield materially. 1t
seems to have been confined to certain
spots. The frost appears to have been
most severe and the results most
disastrous in Western Minnesota and
Eastern Dakota. The weather of late
has been all that could be desired.
While estimates vary, it would appear
that the wheat yield will average about
eighteen bushels to the acre, and that
the crop of oats will be exceptionally
fine.

The Democratic rally last night was a
rouser. Five thousand voters thronged
the seats, the space in front of the plat
form and the streets in the vicinity
The demonstrations were enthusiastic,
and the doctrines of the Democracy
were ably expouuded by the elo-
quent speakers. Hon George R. B.
Hayes made mastery presentation
of the tariff question in all it's phases.
He showed the workingmen how little
the protective policy, as managed by Re-
publican monopolists, adds to their pay.
Mr.. Humes, of San Diego. followed in a
less elaborate presentation of the issues
OF the campaign; but the young gentle
man made a very crisp speech. The ef-
forts made votes for tariff reform.

farming must continue to attract new set
tiers in large numbers to this eclectic
section. The era of development is not
past. 1t has hardly begun. Where one
farm has been founded there are twenty
to be founded. Where one acre has been
brought under good cultivation,
there are hundred awaiting the plow
of the husbandman.
There are things for us to do in order
to maintain this unprecedented pace of
development and growth. In the city
we should provide the best hotel in the
Union. We should enlarge our school
accommodations. We should make a
sewer system. We should pave our
streets. The city and the country should
join hands and make good roads, and
they should all be aligned with stately
and graceful shade trees. In all
the country towns the people should
put their heads together, pool their
issues and put up cooperative canneries
and wineries to take care of their crops
Then we must keep all the attractions
of this section before the people of the
East. Now is the time of all others to
advertise ourselves in the most elaborate
style. The railroads are doing this with
much vigor. We all should aid all pro-
jects having this in view. Nature has
done much for US. Let US supplement
her fine work and make it perfect. The
looming winter will he the one of oreafast
improvement yet. With accelerated
speed our growth will 60 on. By the
end of this decade this city will contain
one hundred and fifty thousand to two
hundred thousand people, and the coun.
try will be pressing half million.

1T SEEMS that the Democratic National
Committee directed a broadside of
selected campaign matter to our esteemed
evening contemporary, the Eapress. In
stead Of being thankful for the favor and
proceeding to give its readers extracts
from this mine of truth, thus lending
unwonted interest to it's columns, the
E1press snarls at the Committee and
filings its usual truthless innuendoes at

High Tariff and the Wages of
Labor.

The pretext for high protection is to
enable the producers of protected articles
to pay high wages. But it has been
shown that this result is not reached.
Nor would it be reasonable to suppose that
the protected manufacturers are going to
pay their workers higher wages for their
work than whatever happens to be the
current standard. It is silly to say that
John Brown, q protected manufacturer,
will divide his acquired profits with his
workmen. He is not in the business
for philanthropy, and as business
proposition he would laugh at any one
who should say to him, "You made
thirty per cent. last year on your capital
because of high protection, and as that
high protection was granted on the sup
position that your operatives would have
fair share of the profits, will now call
Cpcn you to increase their wages in pro-
portion to the profits the high tariff has
enabled you to pocket" Of course John
Brown would laugh at the proposition as
absurd.
Now, If the converse, or nearly 30, of
the proposition that high tariff gives high
wages should be shown, we opine that
those who are loud in their cry for ex-
treme protection so that the labor in the
protected industries may receive liberal
pay, would find themselves in a d.
lemma.
According to the census report of 1880
the value of manufactured products in
1860 was 81, 1886 1851 ,672. The wages paid
in the manufacture of these goods was
1878, 1873, 1865, and the cost of material,
~ ,031, ,6O5, ,O92. Deducting the amount of
the wages and the cost of the material
from the total value of the products,
there remains $475, ,377 ,61S. The work.
men who produced these goods were not
then protected" yet their share in the
value Of the product was twenty per cent.
IN 1880, with high tariff taxing the
eonsumer from forty to fifty per cent. for
lhe special benefit Of the American oper-
akive, the share Of these protected labor
ors in the total product was only about
seventeen per cent, or less than under
1he low tariff that prevailed in 1860.

Education Tor the Average Boy.

From the chicago Carriage Journal.
The average boy, the representative of the great
majority, is no better off, and In some respects
worse of, than the boy who went 10 school thirty
years ago, when reading, writing, and arithmetic
constituted the whole curriculum. This Is a fact
which Is the daily experience OF all who are en-
gagged In the practical walks OF life Why and how
Is this? Simply because the many are being
robbed Of their opportunities for the doubtful bene
fit or the few because those who legislate for the
schools and who administer the schools legislate
and administer for their own classes; because law
yers and profess Onal teachers make the laws
which govern the schools, and doctors and divines
and dOminies administer them with the object
not OF the greatest good to the greatest number
which is the highest good TO be attained, but 10
shape the working OF the schools so that that
small portion Of the youth who are to become law
yers and doctors and divines may get the benefit
OF the whole machinery Of public education
focused upon them. We believe the time
has come when public sentiment should be aroused
TO this divertng OF the Cause Of education from its
best and most beneficial functions. In a word, let
those who pursue education as q mere luxury or
accomplishment, or those who qure 1t as cap
ital to be legally guarded by the exclusive rights
OF the professions, pay for 1t. But let the masses
have the benefit OF elementary training In manual
arts which will furnish them with useful equip
ment for the struggles OF practical life.
