listing regulation: If this is done,
the inevitable result will. be that a
majority Of thesparish will fall far
below a ten months session as pro-
posed and in fact reduce the term
in several instances to five months
Or Whereabouts, while other wards
will have surplus at the end of the
full term. The Board, representing
the interest of the whole parish,
cannot fail to appreciate the adj
vantages of the system which will
insure the longest term without
prejudice to the interest of any par
ticular ward or section. The rev.
enues of the Board for the present
fiscal wear will amount to $4,000
or perhaps more and with this
amount available it is very plain
that the schools can be maintained
throughout the parish for the de-
sired term. Considering. that the ex
penses for all scool purposes last
year were $4,000 and making due al
lowance for increased disbursements
this year the above conclusion is
quite evident. Let the Board unite
in harmonious action for the well
fare of the entire parish and all will
be well. Unless this is done Sc
rious consequences are likely to re-
suit, and the cause of education
placed in jeopardy. The Board is
composed of conservative and lib
eral minded men, and we feel as
sured will not abolish the present
system until it's efficiency over the
old plan has been fairly, tested.

Wool Growing In italy.

The free trader who believes that
wool can be grown as cheaply in this
country as abroad, and who would have
American woolgrowers conform to the
same conditions as to the method of liv-
ing, wages, ETC., as the foreign grower,
should read the following verbatim re-
port taken from the first annual report
Of the United States commissioner of
labor. The report gives the condition,
wages, ETC., of shepherds in Italy. It is
as follows:
''Condition-Lives in haystacklike

Our Favorable Balance OF Trade.

A free trader is nothing if not incon-
sistent. If we have favorable balance
of trade the tariff, he tells rs, has
nothing to do with it. If we have an
adverse balance Of trade, it is all due to
the ''robber tariff - But lie hardly
knows how to explain our present excess
of foreign trade. No two free trade or
gans explain it alike, and yet the ex-
PLANTATION is simple. The Mckinley law
has been in force between three and
four years, and as long as we are only
threatened with free trade SO long will
our balance of foreign trade continue
favorable. Foreigners do not care to sell
so much III our market when they must
pay high tariff, and they do pay it
now But once the tariff is taken off the
balance in our favor will disappear i'll a
twinkling. Every foreign commercial
center is waiting most hopefully and eX-
pectantly to dump it's accumulated goods
on our shores. The following from the
Dublin Telegram is a sample of what
the foreign press is telling its readers:
1.-THE time to be in the field is not
when the new tariff has been in opera
ton some time, but on the first day that
it comes into play. The English and
Scotch and other wooden makers will
make rush for possession. But while
favorable foreign trade balance is most
desirable it is insignificant compared
with our home trade, Of which we have
already lost hundreds Of millions of dol
lars because of threatened free trade.
Actual free trade means loss Of thou
sands of millions. Let US continue to
protect our home market, and our for
eign trade will take care of itself -

The Village Blacksmith,

The village blacksmith is quite an
important parsonage. In 1890 there were
%, 900 ''slnithies' in the United States,
the capital invested therein being S34, :
500, 900. They afforded work for so, SGT
people, who earned 500, 796, 927 annu-
ally, over 5000 each. But the hard
times have affected the blacksmith
shops. There are not SO many carriages
III use now. People have to walk more.
There are not SO many horses to be shod.
Enforced idleness gives people time to
do their own jobs Of repairing which
they used to send to the 'smithy." It
is hard to earn money now, and people
hold on to it when they get it.

''much pleasure" by the letter received
from the representative of the English
and French bankers and manufacturers
and says that he is glad to learn that
they take SO close and intelligent an in
terest III the prospective tariff legisla-
ton on this side of the sea- This per-
haps is not so remarkable as the hope
which he expresses as to the result of
their labors to reform and reduce the
existing system of tariff duties may be
successful, for he says, Il trust that the
results of our labors> that is, the
united labors Of this french committee
and the Democratic party in the United
States. There are many other facts re-
cited in this letter and the pamphlet re-
ferred to that would be of special inter
est to that vast industrial army of Amer
lean citizens now idle and in need Of
employment that would materially aid
them in determining whose interests
have been consulted and will be sub
served by the passage Of this measure.
