Letter From Minnesota.

PRESTON. MINI " r u ~, 1891.
To the Editor OF The Republican.
/ feel inclined tn ask space in your
valuable paper to give my humble
opinion on the school question. which
/ see is talked of 10 each issue of The
REPUBLICAN,.
I am glad to see that the people of
Gtrrett County are Weakening up on
so important an issue. Garrett can do
much better than she has done IL her
people will only urge the matter. I
know the grea. disadvantage Of no
education and would therefore say To
the good people of Garrett County
by all means give the rising genrr.
alton q hetter education than us older
ones were able to get 40 or SO years
ago.
/ will endeaYor to give my good
old neighbors of Garrett few items
on the school systeH In operation In
the young state of Minnesota I have
hal the gocd fortune to board with
two school teachers this winter from
whom I learned much valuable 10.
formation. This county (Fiilmore)
spends annually over thirty thou.
sand dollars for the education of her
children exclusion Of school build
fings. etc. l have visited three diff'r.
lent schools this winter and find
their Houses we'll furnished with all
necessary apparatuses. They keeI
their schools open from seven to nine
months, and pay their teachers from
S25 to $50 per month.
In conclusion, 1 will say to desl
Old Garrett. open your purses just q
little and you will never regret the
good resolution.

cotton was also made dutiable in
1871.
1t was not until the tariff of 1871
that tools and furniture of immi-
grants were made free, or philOsO-
phical apparatus. or plaster of Paris,
or old brass, or gold and silver bull
lion. Nor were manufactured
woods. sulphur. copper in pigs, or
birthstone made free until 1852, nor
rags, brIstles, nr manufactured clay
until 1897. AS late as 1921 the free
imports were but 0ne.twenty seventh
part of the entire imports in value,
nor were they at any time as much
rs one-tenth in value under any tariff
until the compromise tariff of 1888.
Under that tariff the free goods
were at first a quarter of the whole,
and gradually rose in proportion un-
til in 1910 and 184l. they were nearly
half of the aggregate. But under
this tariff as whole. the proportion
of free imports was only AZ per cent,
and il is now, as will be shown, more
than 48 per cent. The tariff of 1912
reduced the proportion of free i'm
ports to about fifth. and under the
low revenue tariff enacted by the
Democrats in 1916 the proportion
never rose as high as a quarter of the
entire imports. Since protective tar.
ifs were imposed in 1861, the pro.
portion of free goods has ranged from
a quarter. and in some earlier years
much less, up to about one-third in
the later years.
During the five months ending
with February, the latest month oi
Whl"h there are complete returns, the
new tariff has been in force except
ing in the first six days of October
The following shows the value oi
free and duItabIe goods imported
each month. and the dutiable imports
of sugar included:

if sensible women once appreciate
how easily this coull be checked and
that the remedy il in their own

would at once start crusade in favor

Kinley was absolutely correct in say

To the editor'of The Republican.
The public school question Is justly
receiving the attention. and perplex.
ing the minds of many of the best
citizens of Garrett.
1t is generally conceded that our
school law is very defective. and in
consequence of this defect yeness.
more than anything else. is due the
lethargy and inattentiOn to the ques.
tion itself. That something must he
done is admitted by ali; but just
what to dn. or what can he done.
judiciously. is where the perpIexity
arises. Many suggestions are made.
some of which should be speedily
adopted.
The County Commissioners have
no power to change the law in any
particular. hut they are requested
aud urged 10 increase the levy for
school purposes at their next session.
True, taxation is oppressively high
already and yet for the good and
lasting benefit of the children we
will cheerfuliy submit to an increase
of taxes even if we do have to sacri.
Gee some of the luxuries and un.
necessaries and he more economical
in The future. We should have six
months school at least, never Iess
and more when possible. The re.
quirements of the times make this
an absolute necessity. Many new
and better school houses are needed
and must be built soon. - Il
AS regardsa new assessment: Taxes
on dogs, poll tax. ETC., all of which
are gcoi and will tend to equaIize
taxation. should receive the prompt
consideration of our legislators at
their next session, and be duly enac-
ted into laws. We heartily endorse
the views of most of your cores.
pondsnts. and Others who desire to
elevate the standard of education,
but some mistaken ideas are adj.
vanced. / will only name one-that
of aboIishing the School Board and
requiring the Governor to appoint
teachers and trustees. and of course
have general supervision over the
schools. II such a course were pos.
sible it would be utterly absurd and
detrimental in the extreme. We
have too many appOintees of the
Governor now and too much dicta.
torial authority exercised over us.
We think we aye sufficiently inteiIi.
gent to exercise the right of suffrage
to a far greater extent than we have
the privilege, and we firmly believe
that the free choice by the people of
their public servants would be much
neiter every way than for the Gov.
ernor or any other individual to die
tate their appointment.
The interests and future welfare of
our children demand more public
interest taken in them. hut to &C.
complish this the public itself must
be more interested. and to stimulate
them to activity in the matter Ans
creased responsibilities must he re-
posed in them. They must have a
say in the things that concern them
SO much.

The Freest Trade Ever Known.

ITO TTSSSC j TaU6 Ever HnOWns
A thrill Uf surprise went through
the great audience at The Tribune
jubilee when Mr. Mckinley stated
in that deliberate manner which as.
sured his hearers that he made no
statement carelessly or without full
belief of its truth, "The new tariff
gives Us wider and freer trade than
was ever enjoyed under any other
tariff law" Probable nine tenths of
his hearers were astOnished. Some
wondered il the statement could be
strictly true. Yet it is the fact that
at this very hour a greater proper.
ton Of the impnrtatiOns into the
United States from other countries is
freer of duty than under any previous
tariff since the government was es.
tablished.
Washington, Jefferson and the
founders Of the Republic imposed du.
lies on nearly all imports. The first
tariff which they enacted. that of
1889. after imposing specific dutie,
on many articles, and on others mod
crate ad valOrem duties. added a
per cent. duty on all other articles
imported. The only exemptions in
the original tariff appear to have
been of skins, hides and furs un.
dressed, dye woods and drugs for
dyeing. raw Gotten and wool, brass.
iron or steel wire. unmanufactured
pewter and tin, pig brass, copper
sheathlng and crude saltpetIe. Raw

To the Editor oil The Republican,.
Having read with interest the com.
mnuicatiOns in your columns on the
subject of public schools. / am glad
to see that our people are becoming
moie interested In the education Of
the children. 1 heartily take up the
rail- and say give our children better
educati0ns--a Gift that cannot be
taken from them, How ia this to be
done? BY direct taxation. This is
the only thing that can be done for
our immediate relief. Let the County
Commissioners levy sufficient sum
to run our schools two months longer.
l for one will not kick on the rise of
tax and in the meantime the dog and
head tax can be considered and urged
upon our Legislature-also new a.
sessment-not only urged but insisted
upon. A new assessment would raise
our basis so as to decrease the per
cent. Then we would have a few
thousand dollars more added to our
tax levy for school purposes. .
1t is claimed that our county ie
poor. This l acknowledge to be true,
but are not too poor to give our chi
dren common school education ,snfl
