UPON the subject of political econo'
nv, an able writer says. 1.-The Incl
dence of taxes is one of the most diff
ficuit subjects in political economy,
and very few American Legislators
know anything about it. More than
that, very few Americans in any pro-
fsssinn or walk of life know anything
about It. The colleges and QniYersi-
ties of the countries are greatly TO
elaine for this condition of things
They never began to teach political
SCIENCE in any serious way until
about twenty years ago, The genera
lion of men now in their prime either
never studied any political economy
at all or studied it in small textbook
for a few hours a week for perhaps
half a wear at school or college, or
they licked up a few notions about 1t
ia tho intervals of professional or
business occupation after they had
entered upon their lIfewOrk. The
number of living Americans who
have any thorough and systematic
knowledge Of the principles OF polltl'
cal economy, including the incidence
of taxes, is absolutely Insignificant
and these few are mostly either pro-
fessors, or business men who have also
been students. The average business
man and the average professional
man have never given any attention
! to, the science, except perhaps
some little scrap of it-like the doc
tine of prOtection-which has tenn
porarily had some political interest

Little Miss Cleveland.


Courier Journal: Yes, it may be that
"the united Democracy or Atchison
County in convention assembled" pre-
ferred a boyy but who knew best? True
enough that, for public purposes, this
child came little too late. If, -! But
why recall the past with its ipadequacy
of nature and it's insufaciencY of votes;
it's beautiful NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.; the
ringing of bells throughout the land, in
honor of the little one born to the Ma
ton in the Nations only mansion; the
flowers from the gardens; the sheaves
from the fields, choking the very aVen-
ues to the White House, and all our
flowers of rhetoric and figures-of-speech
nicely aimed and framed, tuned and
timed, to spit the word to the action,
and to strike the average American
where he is weakest: between his
1--we Of country aud his pride of pater-
nifty.
What an appeal we could have made
just at this moment three years ago? Ii
had, perchance, altered the historic or
der, and to the cry, "Don't turn the baby
out in the cold" Grover Cleveland
might at this moment owe his retention
to the Presidency, and Benjamin Harri
son might be practising law in Indiana
