American Language for American
Schools. YStsiA

The fight in Wisconsin centers about
the school question, and the Republican
Party as usual has taken the American
side. 1t has espoused the Bennett Law.
which requires all branches to be taught
in the English language in the public
schools, and compels all children to at
tend some school where the branches
are so taught. There are in the State
large numbers of Catholic and denomi-
national schools in which much of the
instruction is given in foreign languages.
These schools are un-American in their
tendencies, and the Republican Party
proposes to Americanize them. Gov.
Hoard, who is candidate for reelection,
says in his letter Of acceptance:
Wisconsin stands to-day with the eyes
of the whole nation upon her. From
Maine to California comes the inspiring
word, "Stand by the little school. house.
Forsake not the hope of your children
and the progress and perpetuity of the
republic" The Republican Party has
always been party of principle and an
exponent of conviction. It fought for
the slave from '56 to 81. 1t fought for
the life of the Union from 81 to '65. II
has been fighting for the preservation Of
the fruits OF that victory ever since. 1t
stands with sublime courage for prog
ress, equity and liberty in everything.
1t now demands for every child that he
be given the privileges OF his birthright.
'The child, that is the citizen that is to
be-" has appealed to the Republican
Party and all patriotic citizens that he
be granted these rights. Shall he sp-
peal in vain? Thank God, here is an
Issue that touches the very core Of ou!
every religion, forgetting every prejudice
OF race or belief, touch elbows along
down the line in defense Of the educa-
ton TO the child that shall makD secure

just year ago Governor Campbell
was parading before the public letter
written by member of the "Foraker
Board" while temporarily insane. On
Monday afternoon he was compelled to
call an extra session of the Legislature
to help him get rid of the three leading
Democrats whom he only few months
ago appointed. 1t looks like a case of
poetic Justice.

self to frenzy by talking about the heel
of the oppressor. All 1.-The men who oppose
the Peoples Party are not little fellows
nor men of mean souls. There are men
who have never crouched under the
party lash as some seem to have done,
and therefore they think they can retain
their independence and still vote the
Republican ticket.

There is something refreshing about
the coolness with which few members

The farm-mortgage figures collected
by agents OF the Census Bureau do not
support the free.traders' favorite theory
that the American policy of protection is
crushing the agricultural interest of this
country. The records Of the four repre-
sentative counties of Sangamop, Illinois;
Scott, Iowa; Hampden, Massachusetts, ;
and Cattaraugus, New York, indicate
that the most common reasons for mort
gaging farms are the securing OF de.
ferred payments on land purchased "on
time," and the raising of money for in
vestment in improved machinery, etc.
They indicate also that the generality of
such mortgages are being paid off. The
Register, by the way, has held to that
view of the case all along. The average
of prosperity among the farmers is in
fact greater than the average of prosper
ity among the manufacturers, mine oper-
ators or merchants. In proportion to
their number fewer of them get sold out
by the Sheriff. In proportion to their
number more ofthem accumulate enough
to enable them to live a life of leisure
after middle age. There is just one re-
spect in which his fellow citizens of other
callings have an advantage over the farm
er. They can hide their taxable prop
erty, or great share of it, from the As.
SCISSOR, while land can't possibly be con-
cealed, and so the farmer pays about
twice his just proportion of State taxes,
of county taxes generally more than he
ought, and of township and highway
anu school taxes frequently his own
and part of his neighbours too, when
his neighbors do not happen to be ali
farmers like himself. This a wrong
which should be righted, il there is any
way to do it. But of course tariff tinker
ing will not cure it. because the tariff
hasn't anything whatever to do with it.
The election of more representative farm
ers to the State Legislature might help
the matter somewhat. Canton Register.

The Hillsboro NEWS. HERALD does not
appear to be dead stuck on Farmers
Alliance, and thinks they are assuming
political tinge.- Clermont Courier.
This is misapprehension of the News.
HERALD's position which may be natural
to one not familiar with the situation in
this county at this time. No generous
man, we think, but must sympathize
with the feeling which gave rise to the
Farmers Alliance and no intelligent
man but must acknowledge the justice
of many of their demands. There are
many cases in which legislation is seen
to work directly against the farmer, and
many others in which legislation could
be made to work directly in his favor.
A combination of circumstances has
brought about condition of affairs
which shows to the most unthinking
person the disadvantages under which
agriculture is at present carried on. At
the same time the principle of opganiza.
ton has enabled this fact to be expressed
in way that gives it force and weight.
In every department OF life the effect
iveness of organized action is being de.
mopstrated. Every trade, every, profes.
sion and every other interest, whether
for business philanthropy or pleasure, is
organized into league or union of some
kind. By this harmony of action they
accomplish. their various objects in q
way that would be impossible to the
same aggregate of individual effort un.
organized. The farmers, owing to nat
ural causes, were the last to recognize
and adopt this great weapon, organiza
ton, but now they have done 80 and
have felt the thrill of pleasure which
comes from conscious strength.
The claim that their interests shall
be more directly considered in future
legislation is just one, and many Of
the specific demands are reasonable and
Immediately practicable. A law for the
exemption of mortgaged property, for
the taxation of furnished products, for
VIZ ~SoAeAoA Va ubtoy lUI Guo I6DlO
payment of the public debt must appear
to most men as fair and just. Legisla.
ton along many of these lines should be
adopted Immediately and would do
much to equalize the burdens of taxa.
ton. Legislative reforms have always
sprung from the mass of the people
which is the source of all legislative
power. Whatever the people demand
will soon become law. The legislator
always carries out the expressed will ol
the people, either by enacting the laws
they seem 70 want or by being replaced
by Others who will do SO. The Republi-
can party will adopt a. rapidly as it can
be done all legislation which can i'm
prove the chances of the farmer with.
out prejudice to other classes. This il
