In these days every one cannot marry

An Old Lesson.

Editor Edw. W. Box has a timely
and interesting editorial in the Septem.
Der number of the Ladies Home Journal
on sour Schools and Our Teachers"
In it be advocates the introduction Of
saving banks in schools as in France
where the children are taught the les
son of saving money. Thousands of
our people live beyond their incomes,
and thousands more live up to them.
Instances, constantly come to us who
observe where we see hard working
w-age-earners, men and women, vast
ing enough money during their work
ing days to keep them comfortably pro.
tected in old age. Money in the eyes
of thousands of our young people of to-
day, is simply something that is given
them to get rid of; 1t must be spent.
1.-The average American girl has prac'
tically no idea Of the value Of money.
1t is one of the most d~iscouraging signs
| of the times to see the manner in which
our young women spend their pocket
money. And nothing In this wide world
keeps so many young men from marry
ing as the constant proof they see of
the lightness in which III girls value
money. Money is spent upon trifles al
II silver and bank-notes grew Oh trees.
| A dollar has not its real value in the
| Dyes of one girl out of a hundred.
Where the saving instinct exists it is
simply employed as a mean to making
possible a larger expenditure in the
neal future. The result is that our
young women get false notions of living
and its cost, and they consider them
selves abused, in a great many cases,
when upon marriage they must be con-
tent with less than in their fathers
home. The popular notion with the
young people of to-day is that they must
start where their fathers left off. Our
young men have only a truer sense of
the value of money because they are
compelled to earn it, and where the
money comes hatd its value is better
impressed, But even among the most
moderate classes in this country it is
simply amazing to see the extent to
which money is spent-not only spent,
but wasted, and the absolute disregard
to make provision for "a rainy day"
which exists. The great trouble is that
we have been educated in this country
too much to accept luxuries al necessi-
ties, and when they are beyond our
reach we cavil at fate"

those who produce and export it, In
short, the whole octopus business, like
the other delectable illustrations In
COINS School," is a delusion and d
snare. The worst thing that could happen
tothis country would be the ruin Of Eng
land. No merchant would look with sat

Another favorite argument of the free
silver advocates is that England first
adopted the gold standard and has grown
rich by it, and Ethat, therefore, it must
be bad for other countries, Let us note
two things in this connection:
First. England first adopted trial by
jury and the writ of habeas corpus. She
first enforced the principle of freedom
that no man should be deprived Of life,
liberty Or property but by the Judgment
Of his peers Or the law Of the land.
Shall we discard these sacred muniments
Of liberty because they are of English
origin?
Second.-If England has prospered
under the gold standard, why not the
United States? Certainly no country
ever became really prosperous by the
ruin of its neighbors. In the great com

Twelve years ago one of the street
car companies in Philadelphia thought
they had solved the problem of rapid
transit in that city by introducing the
cable system. Millions of dollars were
spent in burying iron conduits on Ninth,
Seventh and Market Streets, in which
steel cables were pulled by powerful en-
gines, and the cars were gripped onto
them. That was a big Improvement
wei the cars pulled by horses but the
introduction of electricity within the
past five years as much surpassess the
cable system as the cable did the horse
car. The cable system has been given
up for electricity, and the conduits and
machinery are now being torn out and
broken up. Millions invested in that
system are of but little value, the result
of the advancement in science and the
demands of the worlds industrial pro-
