School Teachers.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I notice that in the Teach
ers' Association held at Port Deposit on the
18th inst. that motion was made and
unanimously, carried asking that 20 per
cent be added to the salaries of Cecil county
teachers, in addition to the amount now
paid, which was stated TO be on an average
$284.12 per annum outside of Baltimore
city. While fully appreciate the high and
responsible position of a teacher to whose
charge rs committed not only the mental,
but 10 q great measure the moral training
Of the rising generation, yet think small
amount of ciphering will go to show that
our teachers are not such poorly paid GEL.
of persons after all, taking into considera-
tion the amount of time put in in earning
the salary. In all occupations Of clerical
nature where from ten to twelve and often
fourteen hours per day are exacted by the
employer, salaries in country places rarely
exceed $500 Of six days per weeks, while
the teacher only puts in six hours per day,
and five days per week, with lot of holi-
days too tedious to enumerate, and not un-
frequently there is no school from July 1st
to Sept 1st, being continuous holiday for
that time in which young America runs at
large. while the teacher goes off on visit TO
recuperate from his, or her, arduous duties
of thirty hours per week, from Sept. to July.
As general rnie persons are paid in accord
ance with their ability, and from the COM
plants of incompeiency in some localities,
an increase in salary might have the effect
to procure more efficient service.

Something to Read Before the
Oranges.

It 10 stated that Ward McAllister,
the leader Of New York's select
!" Four Hundred" has ordered 400
canvas. back ducks from Havre de
Grace, for great New Year ball on
January 18th-one duck Tor each
diner of the Four Hundred. Mr..
McAllister says this ball will live in
history. The basis Of the feast will
be canvas back ducks. A hundred
and fifty Rhode Island turkeys have
also been ordered. Mr.. McAllister
thinks the supper will be the largest
order ever given to a New York
caterer.
The question for debate would be
who created all this wealth to be
expended in extravaganza? And
are the conditions which produce
such results healthy in republic?
Quite wide field here for debate.

Petitioning For an Increase Of
Salary.

The Fourth Class Post Masters in all The
United States held county conventions last
week BY concert Of action, the purpose OF
which was general move for an increase OF
salary. The convention was followed by
petitions opened at every Fourth Glass post
Office in The United States s'prayipg' Con-
gress 70 grant them more salary. They
found the claim for an increase in the green
back, on the fact that the number of stamps
Cancelled is no just criterion for the amount
Of work done, which is true enough. In
some instances il may be Too much, in others
il may not be enough and 10 all it is prob
ably very unequal. But will the plan the
postmasters propose remedy the inequality
which is to allow 10 addition to stampage
the cost Of rent and fuel? This would not
supply an equitable remedy for the hardship
complained of. We think we can recon-
mend more equitable plan, and one which
the public will have voice in as we'll as
the postmasters and Congress. And this is
20 abolish the appointing system and adop.
the competitive system, the same BY which
Star Mail Rontes are governed. Let The
Department advertise for proposals for
poslmasters every four years, and the lowest
bidders receive the Office on the condition
that The provisions ofihe law were complied
with % in the Star Route lettings. This
system would take the post offices ont OF
politics. and the internal scramble which
occurs every four years, would be known no
more forever.

More Money in Circulation Than
Ever Before Z, Political I,ie.l

The following is what Coy. Campbell, OF
Ohio, said in his opening speech at Sidney,
o., September 18th, 1891:
sWhen on the subject of currency public
attention is called to attempts which have
recently been made to dis;ort from official
reports relative to the amount of money 10
circulation Immediately after the war. The
object is to mislead the public into believ-
ing that there has been no contraction OF
currency, and that there is now sufficient
money in circulation. Mr.. Mckinley
enormously says: The per capita circn:a-
ton is greater than at any other period be-
fore X In 1865 there were $723, 900, :
900 in circulation, and the amount per
capita was $20.82. On January 9th, 1891,
the circulation was $1,329, 100000 or
$24.10 per capita Secretary Foster, APP
parently in pursuance of a concerted plan,
has compiled table showing that the cir
culation in 1865 was S714,000, 900, about
the same as McKinley's figures. Secretary
McCulloch, however, made his official
report on October 81, 1865, wherein he
states: The paper circulation Of the United
States October 81, 1865, was substantially as

''Thls amount of 81, 759, 1853 ,078 is nearly
two and one-half times as great as the
Mckinley and Foster figures now are, yet
this report was officially made at the time,
and cannot be gain-said. Senator John Al.
Logan in the Senate, stated March 18th,
1874, while animadyerting upon the con-
traction since 1865, that the total currency
of sthat year had been $l,75S, 240, 7o3.
Berkley's money system (l876) states that
the circulation Oct. 81, 1865, was 81 1884,
779,815. All of these include the 7-30
Treasury notes, which every one who can
recall money transactions Of 1865 knows to
have circulated as freely as greenbacks,
although they were boarded later. Even
Senator John Sherman (who expurgates the
7.30 notes. officially reported in 1880 that
the circulation, June 80, 1865, was $685..
S1s,6s5, which is $3.50, 100000 more than
Mr.. McKinley's figures. Why do the Re.
publicans now seek to deceive the people {
They know that money has been made dear
by its scarcity, and that the farmers and
other producing classes are in revolt against
unnecessary strlngency. 1t is too late 10 get
up new calculations The day has gone by

ment on them.
