wheat until Its price Is on par with the

kets abroad under reciprocity, the Ameri-
can miller would put his product into cv-
cry port of the world because his native

restoration of reciprocity means most
to the farming and milling interests. but
1t means much to our pork and beef in
dustry. 1t means millions to the packing
houses. the allied farming interests and
TO all engaged in the distribution or mani
pulation of the products of our fisheries
forests and miners. The loss of foreign
trade in breadstuffs in 1895 as compared
with 1882 was Slsi,759,O00 The loss In 1895
compared with 1884 in value of cattle, hogs
canned and fresh beef and salted meats
was $lSs9S,577. In 1892 the exports or
fresh beef amounted to 220,55i,Gl7 pounds
while In 1895 they were but 19l,&'S.4S'
pounds, according to the United States
treasury statistics. The effect of recipro-
city had been to increase the exports or
fresh beef in 1892 to over 45,OOO0oO pounds
above the average exports In 1859, 1871 ana
1891, while the abrogation of reciprocity
treaties not only lost to the trade the gain
that had been effected, but demoralzed
the market at home. and entailed loss TO
the producer and the packer.

' A Simile from Niagara.

There was one point in Mr.. Smiths
magnificent speech Thursday evening
which is comparatively new to this
campaign, and yet is so apt and force
full as to justify repetition. He pointed
out that no country which Is today
on the silver basis got there abruptly.
In every case the descent has been ac-
complished gradually and by easy
stages. Twenty years ago silver was
commercially on parity with gold.
1t has taken a decade of overproduc-
tion of the white metal to bring It
down to level where it is worth COM
mercially only half the coinage ratio of
16 to /.
"A Ship said he,-and we quote his
thought rather than his words-"may
sail with safety on the Niagara river
on the level above the falls, IL It will
take care not to get too near the preci-
pice. 1t can sail with equal safety,
within a limited territory, on the level
of the river below the falls, IL it is
willing to occupy so low a level and
does not venture too near the whirlpool
rapids. But the managers of the Bry-
an free coinage campaign are the first
mariners who have ever contended that
1t would be practicable for the ship OF
state, avoiding the clrcuitous and grad
ual descent Of the Welland canal, to
plunge boldly over the ledge and make

Schools and Politics,

1t may perhaps be a germane thought
in view of the fact that this has been
institute week to call attention 10 one
| direction in which the public schools
can be more helpful than they have
hitherto been in forming correct ideas
OF government in the minds Of their
pupils. Under ordinary circumstances
the average school, whether city or
rural, withholds most of its instruction
In civlcs until the pupil reaches tine
higher grades and then there is q per-
functory study of some dry textbook
on civil government and the subject
drops.
The effect Of this Indifferent system
OF instruction upon one of the most
vital subjects of citizenship is that a
splendid opportunity is irrevocably lost
TO guide the thoughts of the younger
generation toward higher political
ideals. If time We're taken by the teach
er at very early moment in the school
period to point out how local, county,
state and federal governments are con.
Quoted. following in instruction the or
der named, and If in addition there
were. at a somewhat later stage, prac-
tic;i exercises in the mock election of
officials, the organization of depart
| ments, the formation Of school and
health boards, councils, etc, with
pertinent demOnStra tionS of how
| abuses start, are encouraged ard do
great mischief through the neglect by
the individual citizen of his political
duties, it would not be long until the
graduates of our schools and colleges,
instead of losing themselves in the high
attitudes of theoretical mental specu-
lation, would naturally and easily fit
into their political surroundings, COM
pretending how to act toward better
results.
1t may be held that this would mply
throw an extra burden upon schools
which are already staggering undrr
multiplied demands. Our reply would
be that the first duty of a state-sup-
ported system of education is to the
state: and If in order to make way for
a proper recognition of that duty it
shall become necessary to trim off soma
of the superiluous frills that bedeck
the modern public school curriculum
off with them, by all means, and none
will be the sadder.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-10-17

A candidate for the office Of presi-
dent of the United States who Is so
eager to solicit votes that he will get
up at o'clock in the morning and ap-
pear before an audience in his night
shirt may be an embodiment of zeal,
but he certainly is not the personlfica-
tion either of dignity or of propriety.
Energy is worth little In an office like
the presidency Of this great nation
unless 1t is tempered by discretion.
That's something Bryan evidently
hasn't got
