In the Interest of BOYS.

This paper has many boy readers,
and on the minds Of these it is de-
sirable to impress the sentiment at
the head of this article. There can
be no assurance of success for a boy
in life by any other road than that of
earnest and hard work. No matter
whether it be hand work or head
work. To master problem in
school or by self instruction requires
industry. Book learning or skill in
mechanical trades cannot be pur-
chased with money or with other
pecuniary value, nor be received by
gift or favoritism. These must be
obtained by work. The poor boy
commencing life is on level with
the rich mans son in the race for
success, which requires ambitious
activity. Human ingenuity has
never yet invented labor saving men
tai machinery, nor ever will, by
which there can be time and mental
effort saved in acquiring a good ed
ucation. The we'll dressed boy,
though he have the aid of plenty
of money, has no important advan-
tages over the poorly clad boy; both
have to apply themselves with equal
diligence to acquire an education.
There is no royal road to science for
the few, especially in a country of
public schools, where the rudiments
of useful learning are as free to all
as the air they breathe. The boy
who spends his early years in build
ing air castles, sometimes perhaps
with the approval of his parents, who
believe him destined to plan great
achievements, in most instances will
come out in the rear, disappointing
the expectations of friends. There
are too many young men now, par
ticularly in the cities, who spent too
many of their early days in Incidence
when they should have been at
school or learning trade. Boys
need to be taught to love work;
there is no fear of him who loves
work. If he does not achieve the
one thing which he most desired he
will get happiness out of work itself.

It is useless to say that the world is
the place where every one gets what
he wants, but most persons do get
what they deserve: According as
they SOW, SO shall they reap Boys
should be given to understand that a
successful and useful life must nee
essariIy be one Of hard work. Such
is the passport to honor and distinc-
ton, and such leave a name that will
be respected and long remembered.

The policy of the Republican
party has always been to protect and
foster all industries in this country
which respond and develop readily
under protection. 1t is is thus that
nearly all the great industries of the
country have grown and but for pro-
lection this would have been ma
ton Of farmers. But after years of
high, protective sugar duties.
this country produces but about
one tenth Of the sugar it
uses. The duty upon sugar
was thus practically revenue duty.
The Republican members of the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House have been working at new
Tariff bill to present at this session
of Congress, in which several chang
es will be made in the existing tariff.
They have agreed on a reduction of
over fifty per cent in the duties on
sugar. They will make raw sugar
dutiable at IS per cent ad valorem
and refined sugar above 10 B. S.
dutiable at 40 per cent ad valorem.
This is equivalent to 50 per cent re-
duction in many grades of sugar and
to more in Others The reduction
will average a cut of ABOVE 50 per
cent and will reduce the revenues
SIS, 900, 900 to $4,000, 900. There
is no provision made for the pay
mcnt Of any bounty whatever. This
cut in the sugar duty which will thus
be made is more than two and a
half times that proposed in the Mills
bill and the duty will be collected
upon the value and not upon the
pound as heretofore The duty on
refined sugar is only 5 per cent high
er than that on raw sugar and the
classification of raw sugar as 10 or
below will admit two grades of mer-
charitable sugar suitable for domes-
tic purposes. 1t was believed that
this will take away the power Of the
sugar refners the power to raise the
price of sugar to the consumer at
will. This is quite step in the di-
rection of lower duties and will cut
considerable of a figure in grocery
bills if accomplished. The republi-
can party believes in the lightest
burdens upon the people and in the
adjustment of the necessary taxes SO
that they will be felt the least and
be productive of the most good.
Hence the benefit of an adjustment
of the tariff according to protective
principles.

Old Time Pictorial School Books

If any one can reproduce copies
of the pictorial school books and
primers, such as were in the hands
of juvenile readers seventy-fve years
ago, it would excite wonder at the
progress of the art of engraving for
pictures. 1t is probable that many
of the old time school books and
primers which were attempted to be
embellished with picture engravings,
are still in existence, but more COM
monty found in the older states than
in the west. 1t would hardly admit
of belief were it not provable, that
the coarse picture engravings COM
mon at the period mentioned, were
as much admired three quarters of a
century ago as those now seen IN
Harper's and other popular maya
zines. BY the way of calling to the
remembrance of such people as can
recolleCt far back, some of the books
and primers once seen in almost
every family, will be mentioned. A
little primer, in which was found a
summary of the old catechism, and
on the front page was represented
the martyr, John Rogers, bound to
stake, with combustible materials
around him in readiness for the
torch to be applied. What rendered
the scene more appalling, his devoted
wife and "nine children, with one at
the breast" was there to witness the
fate of the victim of religious perse-
cution. The most common reading
book used by boys and girls was
Webster's Spelling Book This
book was embellished with pictures
not representing real life, but with
imaginative scenes intended to con-
vey useful lessons in human affairs.
Among those which made lasting i'm
pressions on the minds of the young
long after Webster's spelling went
out of use, was the old man who
found a rude boy in his apple tree.
The method Of tie old men in deal
ing with bad boys has been often
quoted. The picture of the farmer
and lawyer engaged in colloquy,
in which, as the short story runs, the
farmer got the best of the argument.
The maid who carried pail of milk
on her head on her way with 1t to
market, in her ecstacy over the pur-
chases she intended to make with
money, gave her head a toss and
spilled the milk, hence the saying,
spilled milk" TO each Of the rude
pictures in the book were attached
instructive lessons of dozen or
twenty lines, and no doubt during
the many years Webster's book was
retained in the schools, many thous-
ands of young persons had some or
most, of these useful lessons lastingly
impressed on their minds, There
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1890-03-20

are unquestionably living in this Vi
entity those who have vivid recol-
lection of the pictorial scenes in the
book and the little stories accom-
panying them. But the chief inter
est of all is the contrast between
long ago and modern pictures in
books and periodicals.

Grange, Monroe, Saturday, Oct. %, and
report it most enjoyable occasion.
Skowhegan Grange, No. 20s, held Q
special meeting at the residence of p. C,
Whittier in the village on Thursday last
comforting the Third Degree on two
members, and the Fourth Degree on foul
members.
Paris Grange will hold an all day
meeting Nov. 18th. Dinner will be fur.
nished by the grange for small sum OF
money, the proceeds to go for the benefit
of the library. The afternoon will be
open to the public as also the dinner.
All are invited.
The funeral of Mr.. Addison Brown
took place on Monday Nov. 2. Mr.
Brown was an active member and officer
of Honesty Grange, Morrill,, and always
noted for his activity and fidelity In
whatever he was engaged. Courteous
and amiable in his intercourse with
others, none knew him but to love him.
This found expression in many acts OF
kindness during his sickness, and in the
mourning concourse which followed to
the grave. The grange had charge OF
the funeral, and performed the last sad
rites for their deceased Brother and ten
derly bore him to our village cemetery.
At the meeting of Stockton Grange on
Friday night, the brothers got up an en-
tertainment and supper for the sisters,
the brothers setting the table besides
doing all the cooking, washing the
dishes and clearing up after supper. As
they we're obliged to furnish their own
music for the opening and closing exer-
cises, and not a male singer in the lot,
it was only expected that they would
fail on this, but even here they went
through all the motions. and made GER
tain face movements and gutteral sounds
that passed for music. The whole thing
was voted success and it certainly was
a wide awake time.

Wal. w hitman en- Old Age.

The one thing Ia Walt Whitman's brief
article on "Old Poets" In the November
North American Review. which will
arrest attention and receive universal
assent ls his praise Of the wisdom. mature
thoughSand garnered wisdom of old age.
The rArcst and most blessed quality"
he says, .'of transcendent noble poetry
as of law, and Of the profoundest wisdom
and ustheticismr-h might have added
surgery, medicine and all the profess
sions, sis from sane, completed, vital,
capable old age. The final proof Of
song or personality is sort of matured,
accreted, superb, evoluted, almost
divine, impalpable dltlasiveness and
atmosphere or invisible magnetism, dis
solving and embracing all, and not any
special achievement of passion, pride,
metrical form, epigram. plot, thought or
what is called beauty The bud OF the
rose or the half blown flower
Is beautiful OF course, but
only the perferet flower or apple or fin
ished wheat head Is beyond the rest.
Completed fruitage like this comes to a
grand age. ln man or womrn, through an
essentially sound continuated physiology
and psychology and is the eliminating
glorious aureole of all, and several pre-
ccding. Like the tree or vine Just men
tion, it stands at last ia a beauty, power
and productiveness of its own, above all
others, and of a sort and style uniting
all criticisms, proofs and adherences.
This of course is intensely "Whitman-
ish' and just like the vigorous old author
of Leaves OF Grass" and nobody else.
1t is tine eulogy of the ripe thought
and matured experience Of old age, and
has seldom been surpassed by any writer
on the subject, and hardly-in so few
words. at Ieast--by Cato himself.

A Leaf from Political History

The recent OIL. year Democratic victory
is not mt all Unprecedented In the history
Of American politics. In 1872 the
Republican party swept the country
winning series Of magnificent victories
along the whole line. It had 10 major
ity In the National House of Rep
rescntatives and 50 deeply was
the Democratic party buried beneath
the avalanche of votes, that it
was everywhere predicted that it would
never be resurreeted again. II anyone
had ventured to predict then that two
years hence this same party would have
been, in control of Congress by an over
whelming majority he would have been
considered prophet of the rainbow
order. Yet that very thing came TO
pass. The election Of 1874 resulted In
sweeping Democratic victory. They
carried Ohio, New York. Massachusetts,
Illinois. Indiana, and eyen elected their
lieutenant governor in Pennsylvania
which, two years before, had gone Dem
ocratic by over hundred thousand
msjority. When the smoke of battle
cleared away 1t was found that the
Republican majority Of no In The Ma
tiond House ot Representatives had
given place to q Democratic majority of
sixty. Thus in two short years change
OF 40 was made In the political
complexion of the popular
branch of Congress. The Democrats
have this year won no such sweeping
victory as did the Republicans In 1872.
nor has the change in political repseseu-
tation been as great as it was between
that year aud 1874. Then. as we have
shown 1t was 100, now it is but lia re.
representatives.. With this little bit Of
political history before them there is no
reason in the world why the
Republicans should be at all dis
heatcned by the recent election,
Indeed there are the strongest reasons
for believing that the Republican party
will win as sweeping victory In 1902 as
the Democratic party did two years
after Its overwhelming defeat In 1883.
There is nothing in the recent election to
Indicate that many Republican voters
have severed their connection with the
party. Take Massachusetts for in
stance, where the Democrats are rejoic-
ing over victory for the third time in
the last sixteen years. Here we find that
the total Democratic vote was 5000
below the party vote in isss when the
Republican party carried the state by
over 5000 plurality. From this 1t is
evident that there has been no great
change OF sentiment among Republican
voters In that State. There were sim
ply an unusually large number of stay
at-homes causing d much heavier falling
OF In the Republican vote than In the
Democratic. Another significant thing
about the election in this State is the
fact that the combined majority Of five
Of the Democratic Congressman elect
was less than l,ano. There is nos the
slightest doubt but what In lsea Massa-
chusetts will be found well up in the
Republican columns as will many other
States where the Democrats have won
temporary advantages. The ground
that has been lost will he more thar
won back and with united ranks The
Republican party will again move for
