We are getting into a mud lie; we seem
to be dazed and bewildarcd in a aense
cloud Of mist that obscuras our mental
vision. as it We're; and 1 want tine light of
the Representative upon the bewilderng sit
uation. Some time ago the Mckinney law
proposed to protect the laborer from ruin
Gus competition with foreign paupe- labor
but instead it destroyed the market for the
products of labor. Then this result was at
tributed to over production, and in this the
''tin pail brigade lost their jobs because
no more production was needed, and this
got the labOrer lin the soup" Then the
dissatisfaction of the people put the "ras-
GALS out and put the Democrats in. who
took the reins of government with .natured
obligations against it far in excess of the
surplus and revenues; then this condition

going to say about the tariff question is
that it is not at present before the Ameri-

On this question, on the single tax

The School Question.

To the Editor:
1t was with a high degree of satisfaction
that L read the platform recently adopt ed
by the State Alliance, and more particu-
larry that plank which opposes the town
snip system for our rural schools. For
nearly 20 years | have been connected with
these schools as pupil and teacher l have
taught for eighty years, and have given the
subject OF public expenditure for educa-
tlonal purposes considerable study In my
opinion, the more centralized the manage
ment of our schools the more political cor
ruption fourishes therein. There is GER
ta1nly an opportunity for world of reform
in our present educa nOnal system, but it is
more democracy, not less of it, that is
needed. To this end L have been battling
for several years, often to my own personal
disadvantage. H'N

from it's patrons on the topics Of the time.
They must be written on one side or the
paper, in fair hand, short, concise and

make the necessary corrections in order to
prepare them for the printer. If these
rules are obeyed, there will be no difficulty
in securing the publication Of your contri-
buttons.
