We look at the figures expressing this
enormous school population, and we con-
gratulate ourselves upon the prosperous
condition of our public schools. Our
system of public education is getting to be
regarded as permanent and indispensable
factor in the social culture'of the nation. We
begin to rea ize that the progress and well
fare OF the next generation depend in
/ large measure upon the attention we give
to the education Of the children of this
generation. We begin to recognize the
education OF its masses as the true basis of
good society, Of good government, and of
the attainment of the highest possibilities
Of human life. We rejoice that our public
schools are institutions whose doors stand
wide open, inviting all young people OF
proper age TO enter;-ingtitut!ons where
the rich and the poor meet on a common
level. and share alike the blessings and the
advantages of flee aud practical educa-
tiou.
However, ladies' and gentlemen, must

attention, again bid you hearty welcome,
and wish you all a jolly good time.

featuring interest in this country de-
mands free wool which should be clear
to the stupidest and that the labor in
wool growing is not considerable enough
to be considered which again is OBJ
vious.
Intelligent men who do not favor free
wool are under the domination of party
pref ejudice, or in fear lest the duty taken
off wool may culminate in the duty taken
off woolens and this is doubtless the
fear of many but 1t is very absurd one.
If the country plants itself upon Mr..
Steels platform, Of sufficient protection
to equalze American labor with foreign
labor, there can never be danger Of any
undue dimunition in the protective duties
upon our manufactures.

Views of n Sensible yarchant

1t would be well indesd If men of the
stamp of Edward Y Steel, the RepublI-
can merchant whose views upon the
wool quesrfoh we print elsewhere, had a
larger participation in public affairs, ,vhich
would then certainly be managed with
Intelligence and profitable results.
1t is the great misfortune of our coun.
try, that this class Of people have SO little
share iu its government. 1t is the lawyer
with his CAB, the loafer with his leisure,
and the schemer, making merchandise of
politics, who take charge Of the country
to its great hurt. 1t is such men as
Blaine that are its great bane men who
know nothing about the science of gov
ernment or about the true practice of
busintss, but who talk as though they
knew it all, and are able to persuade
their hearers that they are as wise as they
seem. We are the victims, as a nation,
OF false pretenders.
This tariff question is business ques,
tion. Upon the theoretical question
of tariff or free trade there may be
Q charcs for two seemingly we'll
founded opinions, as there is in nearly
every theoretical question ; but upon the
practical question, in the situation of this
country at this time, there can
be but one sound opinion, which must
be accepted by everyone of good judg-
rnent and the judgment Of those who
do not accept it, must be obviously bad
to an unprejudiced and intel
ligent tribunal. Mr.. Steel's opinions
upon the tariff question are stated
clearly, upon business experience
of many years, and they will nos be
challenged by anyone of good business
Judgment. He declares that the condi-
ton Of secure and prosperous business
Is the full employment Of the community
ct good wages. Who can contradict THAR
Therefore he is ''for tariff that will
protect the wages of all workmen in this
country to the full extent Of the difference
between the wages or Europe and what
~s ragard az she liberal wages of
America" And does not that follow as
. logical sequence from the first propOsl- =
ton, that labor must be fully employel
~ good wages In a prosperous commu-

should be any higher duty imposed. And
