WHERE'S THAT Two DOLLARS

WHERE'S THAT Two DOLLARS A
DAY AND ROAST BEEF?-A subscrib-
er over in Ohio, renting for anoth-
err year, says: Give the Republicans
thunder about their protection and
two dollars per day. A number of
them have told me they have got
enough of protection Come to
think of it, we haven't heard of any
of our workingmen having their wa
ges advanced since the great protec-
ton victory of November last: fact
is, they are satisfied with getting
as much as they did under free trade
Cleveland, heavy reductions being
made elsewhere throughout the coun-
try. Evidently that promise of 'two
dollars day and roast beef was a
delusion and snare.-W eUsburq

The Progress of Educational
Work.
1t is undeniable that education is
progressing. No one who attended
the State Teachers Association
which lately met among us could fail
to remark the progressive spirit Of
the papers and the practical turn
given to all the discussions. The
teachers of West Virginia show that
they are fully awake to the demands
of the times and are keeping up with
the advance movements Ia educa-
ton. These questions are receiving
the attention of educators every
where. What shall be the course of
instruction 10 our public schools?
Shall manual training be ingrafted on
our public school system? Shall
Latin and Greek be abolished from
the college curriculum In answer
ing these questions two totally di-
verse theories of education are siren
uously advocated two very different
opinions prevail ia regard to the
true province of education. One
theory declares tnat the first thing
of all to do is to iuculcate the duty
and develop the power of self sup
port; the other declares that the de.
velopment of child is the first and
only object of education. Doubtless
the truth lies somewhere between
these two adverse theories. In the
past our schools have followed the
latter theory; to-day we have much
of the first too. The world is NOV
ing fast in inventions, industries,
practical things; the schools are
learning this and rntting themselves
in the line Of advancement We
want schools that will educate boys
and girls toward tie life they must
lead, and not away from it. We are
not in sympathy with the "develop-
ment only" idea, neither with the
trade teaching" idea; but we want

longer act on the hypothesis that
knowledge is the end of education but
recognize the funda mental fact that
the great end of education is action
through knowledge.

Very favorable opinions regarding
co-education by some of the most
prominent educators and representa-
tives of the highest institutions of
learning are printed on the first
page of this paper. And the insti-
buttons are those where co-education
has been tried and found to be an
eminently successful feature. In
fact, failure has never been proven
where the plan was tried and the
idea that the initiative failure must
begin in West Virginia is fully ex-
ploded. Read the letters and be
convinced by facts; parties against
it are. numerous, perhaps, but they
do not contain the essence of reason.

The way some of our worthy con-
temporaries are lamenting for what
they seem to term Judge Fleming's
loss of moral character, is certainly
amusing. Having finally concluded
that fair analysis of the contested
votes will elect the Judge, and being
fully cognizant of his extreme mod
esty as compared to the ''cheekn ex-
hibited by some others, they seek to
so effect him as to secure declina-
tion on his part and hope to be sue
cessful This scheme wont work.
Judge Fleming understands that he
received a majority of the legal votes
cast, and if the evidence produced
establishes this fact, he will be our
next governor, with an unimpaired
conscience. If the contest is decid-
ed against him, he will be the last
man to yell fraud at the committee.
1t is singular fact that the man
who is the noisiest about the Brooke
county vote, helped to disfranchise
more legal voters a few years ago
than this committee could disfran
chise were they to try; yet he is
ready to send out Opinions" and
claim they were delivered to the
committee, when they never were.
He was rebuked by the people four
years ago for his opinions and
will be again. He will be tremen-
dously rich when gall brings fair
price.--Grofton Leader.

High Tariff and Low Wages.


The outcome of the strike in the
Carnegie steel mill at Homestead,
Pa, affords conclusive refutation
of the assertion so frequently made
by Mr. Carnegie and other high tar
if advocates in the last presidential
campaign that the election of Mr..
Harrison would ensure workingmen
all over the country better pay for
labor. The same persons asserted
in the most positive manner that the
reelection of Mr.. Cleveland would
tend to reduce wages, in anticipa-
tion of the revision of the tariff. to
which he and his party were pledged,
and the consequent diminution in
the profits of many of the protected"
manufacturers. High tariff, in other
words, according to Mr.. Carnegie,
meant high wages. Whether any
considerable number of workingmen
were caught by such chat it is impos-
sible to say, but from the election
returns from the manufacturing dis
tricts of many States it would ap.
pear that intelligent workingmen cv-
erywhere realized that because the
manufacturer reaps large profits it
does not follow that the men employ
ed by him will be permitted to share
his good fortune. 1t is notorious
fact that colossal fortunes are being
piled up on the proceeds Of labo,,
which is paid almost at starvation
rates. In Mr.. Carnegic's establish
ment the triumph Of protection" at
the polls certainly did not mesn bet

Estimating crops before they are
harvested is something akin to count
ing chickens before they are hatch
ed. This is now quite apparent with
regard to the wheat crop of the cur
rent year. Early estimates by the
Agricultural Department at Wash
ton and by commercial agencies
placed the crop at something over
500,0O0,000 bushels, or one of the
largest ever grown in the country.
Reports from Dakota and other
S ates and Territories of the North
west now indicate Il very short crop
in that section, owing TO the extreme
drought, while in the East the wheat
harvest has been seriously damaged
by the rainy weather. Between
drought in the west and wet weather
in the east it is probable that the
actual crop will fall many millions
short of the earlier estimate.
This rather gloomy outlook has
its bright phase, however. The
wheat crop in India, Russia and
Austro- Hungary is unusually light,
so that all the wheat we have
in excess of our own needs is certain
to be in demand at fair price. 1t
is not at all improbable, therefore,
that lie American farmers may re-
alize more money for their wheat
than if the crop had turned out to
be as great as indicated by the ear
lier reports.
But while as a whole the wheat
farmers of the country may have a
profitable year, the 100000 bush
els shortage in Dakota will prove
little less than an irretrievable dis
aster to the farmers of that section.
Wheat Is the Dakota staple and with
less than half a crop the farmers of
that Territory will have so little to
sell that no probable advance in price
will begin to make up their losses.
Dakota will have little to console
itself with this year, except the fact
that it will achieve the dignity Of
Statehood

I'm Goes Salt.

1t was recently announced that a
certificate Of incorporation had been
filed by the North American Salt
Company and that the concern will
differ from the ordinary trust, mas
much as its share capital cannot be
secretly increased at the within of
the managers, and it will be subject
to some legal supervision.
But in general scope and aims we
are afraid il is no better than the
other "trusts." Its capitalization
of fifteen million dollars is enormous,
and the eight per cent guaranteed
on its preferred stock is excessive.
The prospectus contains the usual
trust" pirate about profits to accrue
from co operative management, re-
duced working force and the rest of
it, and not from high prices. But
one may read between the lines a
very different story.
Referring to the one hundred and
thirty works and properties owned
or controlled by the concern, it is
noted in one portion of the prospec-
tus that "the profits have been mea-
gre at most and frequently non-ex-
istent." In another paragraph Of
that document the revenue of the
company is estimated at twenty
cents per barrel and an annual out
put of ten million barrels, or enough
to pay six per cent on four million
dollars of bonds, eight per cent on
four million dollars of preferred
stock and twenty per cent on the
seven million dollars of common
stock.
1t is an insult to the intelligence
of the people to ask them to believe
that properties which have been
yielding meagre profits, or none at
all, can by mere economy of manage
ment be made to pay the exorbitant
amount of twenty per cent per an
mum on this frightfully inflated CAPT
talization-and this, as is intimated,
after closing down many of the
works and carrying them at dead
loss. The public knows just what
to think of that yarn" in view of
the fact that the English Salt Union,
under the auspices of which this
new concern has been organized,
made similar statements and within
six months advanced the price of
salt about two hundred per cent,
