SELF-HELP Is THE BEsT.-The teachers and
pupils of the public school. near Thomas Run.
concluded that library for the use of the
school would be good thing to have. In this,
probably, they are not singular. They are to
be commended, not for desiring library, but
for using the means within their reach to Sc
cure one. Taking advantage of the Thanksgiv-
ing holiday, last week, they held fair in the
school room for the purpose of raising money
to buy first installment Of books. Naturally
the resources of the little workers were rather
limited but interest and industry can overcome
many obstacles and their efforts were rewarded
to the extent of $3217, net. The good in
iuences of even few well-selected books in
each of our public schools cannot be overesti-
mated. 1t is q matter which commends itself
to all who are interested in the public veal
No doubt the self-reliant spirit manifested by
teacher and scholars in this instance will ult-
mately result in a library which will benefit the
entire community.

The Presidents Message.


On Monday President Harrison transmit
ted his message to Congress.
1t contains the usual dry facts concerning
departmental reports, but the pith of 1t is in
what he says concerning the Mckinley tariff
and the Force Bill.
On these important subjects President
Harrison appears to have entirely misinter-
preted the voice of the people of the United
States as expressed in the late election.
He clings to the idea that the rise in prices
which followed the passage of the Mckinley
bill were not due to- that act of legislation,
but to The enlargement of the currency by
the silver bill. 81
President Harrison also calls upon Con-
gress to pass the Force Bill.
Instead Of being warned by the over
whelming verdict OF the people against an
increase Of taxation on the necessaries of life
and against federal interference with cleo
tions, he rushes boldly forward and demands
continuance Of the policy which is Cypress
ing the farming industries and offering favor
ed classes an opportunity of enriching them
selves at the expense of the mass of the peo-
pie. He under. estimates altogether the in
telligence of the American people when he
asserts that they did not understand the Nc
Kinley tariff bill and mistakes their credulity
in pleading that the bill should have several
years trial before judgment is pronounced
upon it. The people became painfully aware
SL>k 81. IS do hor do
by the Mckinley bill and by their votes they
condemned it along with the Force Bill and
other arbitrary and tyrannical acts of Reed
and his followers. The Mckinley tariff was
intended to raise prices and give manufacture
ers the opportunity of reimbursing them
selves for their liberal contributions to the
campaign fund, otherwise it would not have
been passed. The interests of the farmers
and other toiling classes were entirely ignor-
ed in response to the demands of party ext
gency, and it was against these things that
the people revolted.
The President also advocates subsidies to
foreign steamship lines, urging these appro-
priations as necessary TO make reciprocity ef-
fectiye. On the last named subject he ap.
pears to be in accord with Secretary Blaine,
overlooking the fact, however, that the Pre-
sident and Mr.. Blaine seem TO desire reci'
procity with South American countries, 10
which we send comparatively little of our az.
ricultnral products, overlooking countries
like England, France and Germany, which
are our farmers best markets. If reciprocity
would be good thing for the manufacturers,
if applied to South America, would 1t not be
a good thing for farmers to extend the prin-
ciple to localities where it would benefit
them2 If we could arrange with England
TO take more of our wheat, corn and cattle,
giving rs such articles in exchange as we
need, 1t would be of vast benefit to our peo-
pie. A distinction, of course, could be made
BY which American industries which need
fostering care would be protected.

The Philadelphia Times in criticizing the


message says:
The one fact clearly taught by the message
is that the President makes the old Bourbons
of France comparatively respectable by learn
ing nothing and forgetting nothing. The
people have declared against the increase of
already exacting taxes on the necessaries of
life in time of peace; against the oppression
of the masses for the benefit of the classes !;
against the prohgacy that has created the
first Treasury deficit since the war, and
against Force Election bill that no business
man, North or South, Republican or Demo-
Graf, is willing 70 approve. In the face of a
popular revolution entirely unexampled in
magnitude, the President demands the con-
tiDuance of taxes which the people have re-
VOTED against demands additional profliga-
cy by steamship subsidies to spectators at
home and abroad when free ships would at
once establish our commerce without dol
lar of loss or outlay, and demands that the
Force Election bill shall be passed for the
special reason, as he states it, of enabling ir-
responsible Federal officials to certify all cleo
tion returns for President and Congressman.

Voting in the Methodist Episcopal
churches of the United States on the admis-
sion of women as delegates to the General
Conference closed on Saturday last. The
result will not be known for ten days or
more. The vote cast. it is stated, does not
exceed ten per cent. of the membership, and
this is held by some to be an evidence of the
unpopularity of the proposition. The result
of the voting, as far as reported, shows thst
in the conservative Middle States there is a
slight majority against women as delegates.
In the great West and in New England,
however, the progressive tendency has been
followed and majorities have probably been
cast in favor of the women. The Philadelphia
Methodist thinks that enough of the returns
have been received to show that the women
have carried the day.
