The Teachers Institute.

From Wednesday s Daily.
Prof. Mcmillan, conductor of the
Institute, was called to Ohio this
morning by the death of his mother.
Prof. Torreyson, in announcing this
sad event to the teachers, said !:
"This is an affiiction which is unlike
any other. 1t is something that a
man or woman never experiences
but once in their life, and knows
nothing about it until they have ex-
perienced it. l am sure l voice the
sentiment of this Institute and of
every teacher in it when 1 say we
all deeply sympathize with Prof.
Mcmillan in this affiiction."
Death has entered the family of
another person connected with the
Institute. The 1O-year-old son of
Mr.. J. L. Horton is dead. Mr..
Horton has the full sympathy of the
members in his bereavement.
Prof. French Strother, one of the
"old guard Of Missouri teachers,
was invited to speak to the Institute
this morning. In the course of his
remarks, Prof. Strother said he was
a teacher of 80 years experience.
For the first school he ever taught
be received $40 for a ten months
term. For the last public school he
taught he received 81 500 for term
of the same length.
Miss Sue Robertson was present
to-day and recited very amusing
selection in an excellent manner.
A committee was appointed for
the purpose of making the teachers
acquainted with one another, es-
pecially at the social tomorrow
night. The committee consists of
Misses Hughes, Phillips and Gran
than.
Prof. Darlington has taken charge
of Prof. MGMillan's classes and will
continue in charge until the latter
returns home.
The teachers should not forget TO
give MIR. Torreyson their subscrip-
tions to 1.-THE Missouri School Jour-
nal." The price is only one dollar
a year. and teacher can not possi-
bly, invest dollar so profitabIy.

THERE is considerable controver-

action of the City Council concern
ing the taxes ON stocks of mer
chandise carried by our business
men. AS we understand the mat
ter the finance committee of Mexi-
CO expect our business men to give
in their stock of goods at one third
their value. If you carry $75, 200
worth on an average for year you
are expected to give in $25 900 to
the City Assessor. The finance
committee will require you to make
affidavit to this matter. This is the
law and we are satisfied that no
business man will attempt to evade
it. The finance committee can
not go back on your affidavit when
the grand jury is appealed to.

We understand from the st. Louis
Globe Democrat that it is claimed
Cleveland has authorized the ad-
ministration leaders to declare that
he will not approve any bill for free
coinage, no matter what the ratio is.
We sincerely trust that this is a
mistake and feel satisfied that it is.
If we understand the English Ian
guage Cleveland has repeatedly de-
clared that he would favor the free
coinage of silver on a parity with

Our Business Relations With England.
| Correspondence of the LEDeER.
MEXICO, Mo-, Aug. 16.--The tail
of the British lion was severely twist
ed on Saturday last in the supposed
interest of American industry and
some rather odious comparisons
drawn between England ON one side
and France and Germany and Mex
leo on the other. A few statistics
will be in order. In 1885, latest ac-
cessible, our exports were to Great
Britain and Ireland 39S millions OF
dollars; France 46 million and Ger
many 60 million; balance of trade
or, more accurately speaking, the ex-
cess of exports over imports, 262
millions in our favor with England,
and France 10 million against US;
Germany one million same way and
the average for Is years is not out
of proportion to these figures. Our
exports to England of wheat and
-four were Sc million bushels and 7
million barrels. To France s mil
lion bushels and two thousand bar
rels; to Germany three fourths mil
lion bushels and % thousand bar
rels; cotton to England 1909 mil
lion pounds; to France 130 million
pounds, and to Germany 234 million
pounds. Our exports for the same
year were beef, % million dollars,
pork 81 million. Dairy products,
genuine and imitation, 20 million.
Countries not specified but total ex-
ports of every description of mer-
chandise were 726 millionand Great
Britain took 10 millions more than
all the rest Of creation combined.
Coin and bullion shipments cut a
small figure in the trade of the
world. For instance, we send s
million excess to England and re-
ceived from France two and one
half millions and Germany Z mil
lions, all three cases the creditor ma
ton shipping excess Of precious
metals. This is accounted for when
we remember that London is the
clearing house of the world, all ma
tions meeting there to settle their
debts. Now, amt our howery ora
tors just "a little off, when they
abuse England as the enemy Of
American industry and the pro-
ducers of the great west? A good
customer among nations is not SO
very different from one among in
dlviduals. BUSINESS.

SENATOR VEST states that "if the
market price of silver is 711s cents
an ounce a silver dollar will be
worth, at the ratio of 16 to /, 55.34
cents in gold. At 20 to l it would
be worth 69.17 and at "a to 1 il
would be worth S3.1 cents. As the
mine owners must be supposed to
desire the largest price for their sill
yer bullion | am unable to see how the
increase of ratio will close the
mines" This means that with free
coinage of silver at 90 to 1 or even
at "a to 1 miners viii get more pei
