aimed TO distribute the grant TO give 1t equally
between the voluntary and the board schools. Inc

OF fees to elementary schools. The Government had
come to the conclusion that the best possible scheme
was the payment to school authorities Of ten shilngs

elementary schools. There would be no standard OF
Limitation whatever. (Cheers.l The grant would DO
made payable on behalf Of children between five and
fourteen years OF age only and attending compulsory

authorize the payment Of free grant In aid OF eie

FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES.
An Appalling State of Affairs the outcom.

of Republican Extravaganza.
Some whimpering is observable in
the tone of the leading republican
newspapers on the subject of the ma
tional finances. Secretary Foster, it is
stated, will soon issue circular to the
banks and ''to large employers of
labor" offering to exchange the frac-
tional silver in the treasury, amounting
to something over twenty million dol
lars, for paper In other words, he finds
a necessity confronting him of using an
unavaila BILE non-legal tender fund to
meet the current expenses of govern
ment. Ii is not likely that either the
banks or the large employers of labor
will consent to any such exchange. The
fractional coin is just as unavailable to
the banks as it is to the government.
There is plenty of fractional coin in cir
cutation now. When cup is full ii
will hold no more. If this twenty mil
lions could be poured in, it would over
flow and come back to the treasury for
redemption, and it would have to be re-
deemed too. The large employers OF
labor, if they are wise, will be chary
about passing off upon their employees
kind of money that is not legal ten
der for more than ten dollars in one
payment, and is bulky and inconven-
lent also. Such course would be
strongly provocative of strikes and
would be politically unwise too, since
it would acquaint the working classes
with the fact that the government,
which was left by the Cleveland admin
istration with an enormous surplus, is
already in financial straits.-N. Y. Post,

President Harrison's admissions
that we must trade with other nations

disguised democrat. 1t is to be hoped
that Benjamin does not really contem-
plate the betrayal of the men who fur

The republican party lacks an in
fuential and widely-read press, and

of republicanism are either acting with
the democratic party or at least they are
not actively supporting the republican
