THE RULE OF CONTRARlES.

The friends of the administration with
great deal of complacency are beginning to
claim the great bimetallic conference held
in London and the monetary reaction that
il inaugurated as the result of its wise and
sagacious policy. President Cleveland has
been the persistent foe of silver since he
entered on the national stage of politics.
He was so inflamed on the subject that on
the occasion of his first election to the
Presidency he could not wait for his in
stallation to make an attack upon it. 1t Is
not necessary to recapitulate all his sub
seauent efforts in behalf of the single
standard of gold. He saw his opportunity
TO deal the white metal deadly blow last
fall, when he called Congress in extra
session to give it the final blow, under the
pretense of saving the country.
But it seems now that all these various
assaults were really acts of loving kind
ness. President Cleveland, the country is
expected to believe, was really laboring
with all his might to promote bimetallism.
when he was using all the power he pos
Sessed to destroy one of the metals as
money. We have in the claim which Is
now set up counterpart of the strange
Sandwich Islands policy. In that case II
was out of a pure and sincere regard for
the Provisional Government that he sent
a Minister armed with extraordinary pow
ers, and feet TO overthrow it. The con-
clusion to be drawn is that when the
President is really in favor of project or
a policy he makes open war on it and does
all he can te prevent or overthrow it.
The doctrine OF contrasts often assumes
very fantastic forms, but this is perhaps
the most curious that has ever been dis
covered. If everything that Mr.. Cleveland
opposes is really what he favors. we have
an executive who has such a convenient
way of making history that he places him.
self beyond criticism. 1t must follow that
what he wants. in secret excites his ami
mostly. SO that he is always saying and
doing the opposite of what he means.

THE POINT WE ARE AT.

The Willows Journal has the following:
The so-cailed protective system caused our
country to develop very rapidly for the reason
that 1t brought laborers and capital from
Europe. But we tare now at the point where
we must suffer from. the effects. We have
gotten TO the period where we cannot make the
labor profitable, and hence the capital bor-
rowed from Europe is withdrawn and the labor
ers are idle.
The point at which we have arrived is
not the legitimate end of the protective
system but break in It, If We have
reached period al which we cannot make
labor profitable 1t Is because of the threat
that the products of cheaper labor coun-
tries shall be thrown into our markets. It
may be said that the tariff now before the
Senate is not free trade. But it was not
the tariff now before the Senate that did
the mischief. 1t was the election Of Mr..
Cleveland on a platform which declared
protection to American industries uncon-
stitutional that closed the mills of the
country. There had been thirty years of
protection when free-trade President was
elected. During that period there had
been ebbs and flows of business, but never
stagnation. Even IN the dreary times
when greenbacks were creeping up to par
with coin there was only comparative
industrial depression. In five years prop
erty deprecated % per centin consequence
of the appreciation of currency, but even
then the main work of the country went
on. The protective tariff secured our
home market mainly to our own pro-
dueeTs. and when the demand for goods
increased the work was done at home.

EXCEPT WOOL.

Sen ator Hill said of the compromise
tariff bill:
This compromise comedies something to
everybody. There is no consistency in IL. 1t
taxes sugar, iron and lead ore and coal. 1t
taxes every so-called raw material except wool; !;
it taxes everything the Democratic party has
said should be free.
The motive for this war upon sheep is
hard to find. Sheep produce both wool and
mutton. Spring lamb is a healthful and
relishable food and would be found in all
we'll supplied markets il there was no
value attached to the fleece. But the meat
would be twice or three times as costly as
it now is if sheep and lambs were reared
for their meat exclusively. The wool in
dustry is one of the largest in the United
States. 1t employs labor in full proper
ton to the value of the product. The
capital invested in it is as clearly entitled
to consideration as the capital in wooden
or cotton mill. Yet the compromise tariff
singles cut wool as the only variety of raw
material to be placed on the free list The
pretense that the cost of clothing would
be materially decreased by the tree impor-
tation of wool has been shown to be with
out foundation. Under the present tariff
the duties on suit of Clothes cannot exceed
81 20. allowing all the wool to be imported.
On low-priced clothing they are less. Now
while 81 20 is an item worth saving, 1t is
moi worth the sacrifice of large home
industry. Less than 8 cents a day il re-
duction of wages would cover the difference

WHITHERP ?

a purpose is said TO bs entertained by
several Of our School Directors 20 bring a
number of schOolteachers from the East to
lake the lead in a race for higher educa-
ton. The School Directors appear to have
started on a track that may lead to trouble.
s good deal of what is termed higher edu-
cation is a fad OF the most mischievOus
nature. No one would limit the height
or breadth of education, so that it is con-
structed from the ground up. But there / s
a disposition TO hurry over the primary
course TO take the child into the higher
branches before it escapes from school 60
trelv. One of the advocates of the higher
education in our common schools recently
contributed an article to monthly maga-
zine devoted mainly to fads in which
ground was taken that too much time was
wasted in teaching children to read, write
and spell. The writer had 10 patience with
the study of the latter. She considered
it comparatively unimp0rtant. Children
would pick up spelling after fashion when
they came to a practical use of 1t. As for
penmanship, of what use to devote time to
that branch when the typewriter would
take the labor of writing off sne's hands?
There were other branches of study which
the magazine teacher thought so much
more improving. She had tears for chill
dren who were compelled TO leave school
before their taste for music had been cul-
tivated. They ought also to be taught
botany, drawing and the clay modelling
that is the vestibule to the sculptor s
studio. The aim of the schools should be,
she contended, to cultivate love of the
beautiful.
This love of the beautiful is very well in
its way, but it should be preceded or ac-
companied by instruction in the funda-
mental branches of study. Bad spelling
takes all the sentiment out of the most
glowing love letters. One may sing d.
vinely or paint exQuisitely. but if one of
their badly spelled letters gets into print
the finish of the art only gives point to the
defect. The intelligent compositor usually
stands between the public and blemishes
of this nature. but the writer who is at the
mercy of intelligent compositOrs some
times fares hard. OF course there should
be limit to the time devoted to the three
RS. A class that can read and spell fairly
well should not be made to wait upon one
who, however bright in other respects, can
neither enunciate distinctly nor spell cor
rectly. But it will be a bad day for our
public school system when the fsddists
