LINCOLN PRIMARY.
c. n. Post Speaks of Washington's
Qualities and of Our Schools.

ODN1lllGS anu OA OuT CCIOOlSs
At the Lincoln Primary School, Miss
Lizzie Bernard, Principal, Director Do
Ian presided over the exercises. The
programme was published yesterday.
C. n. Post was the speaker of the day.
His eloquent remarks, briefly summed
up, were to the following effect:
The American public school is the
cradle and safeguard of American lib
erty. The true democracy is found in
the schoolyard where the children of the
rich and the poor meet on common
ground; where self asserted superiority,
unless based on merit is effectually
strangled, and the broad principles of
equality. fraternity, obedience to con-
stituted authority and respect for the
views Of others, are, as a rule, laid deep
and enduring.
The youth of a nation should be
taught to remember and revere its
patriots and heroes. It has been poet
icaIly and to a great extent truthfully
said that THE hand that rocks the
cradle rules the world The American
mother should rather seek than avoid
the task of inspiring her offspring with
true and lofty patriotism.
Ihe character OF W aSnlnSIOn reneclS
glory on our race. He was as nearly
perfect morally as man ever was; in
spired by a patriotism absolutely un-
selfish, possessing military ability of a
high order, executive capacity of the
first class. an industry that was tireless,
a desire to be just to all men, calm and
self-possessed at all times, of unques-
toned personal and moral courage. and
with an intuitive knowledge of states
manship, his fame will grow with time
and he will eventually come to be es-
teemed the most perfect and splendid
figure in all history.

EFFECT ON WALL STREET,
Failure of Moore Bros. Was a Complete
Surprise.

Failure of Moore Bros. Was a Complete
Surprise.
New YORK, Aug. 5.-The failure of
Moore Bros. of Chicago was a complete
surprise to Wall street, and was at first
assumed to include the collapse of Dia-
mond Match company of Chicago and
the New York Biscuit company which
had been promoted by the firm. The
sensational character of the failure and
the unusual step taken of closing the
Chicago Stock Exchange, pending a re-
adjustment, led the financial commu-
nifty at large to expect the most start
ling disclosures 1t was feared that the
New York banks might be involved as
holders of collaterals, and that also
wholesale liquidation in the Changers
and other shares might result. Lower
London cables previous to the opening
also created an unfavorable impression.
Accordingly there was rush to sell at
the sound of the gong, and during the
first 10 minutes the market was de-
moralized under liquidation, bear offer
ings and sales for foreign account.
Prices dropped few points, but grad
ually reacted to the opening figures.

BUT IS 1T ABSURD?

Our neighbOr down the street, that
has suddenly fallen in love with free
silver and 53-cent dollars, says it is
absurd to think that one of the great
parties would advocate a policy that
would prove harmful to the country.
1t may seem absurd, but it remains a
fact just the same that the financial
policy which the Popocrats advocate
will prove most disastrous to the
country should it ever be adopted
Our neighbor was just as sure that
the free trade policy which it advo-
Gated four years ago would not harm
the country in the least, and thought
it absurd that any one should think
so, but the result of the agitation and
step taken has proved most disas-
trous to the country and the depres-
sion resulting has been greatly in
tensifed by the free silver agitation
which has since been INDUCED in.
Our cheap silver friend also says that
if Bryan wins that free silver coinage
will not be bro lght about suddenly,
but will be approached gradually.
What bosh! How can it be brought
about gradually? There is no doubt
but that if the free silverites elect
Bryan and congress of his way of
thinking, that an extra session will
be had and free coinage bill rushed
through within thirty days after his
Inauguration. But the country would
not wait for his Inauguration to 60 to
a silver basis. His victory would re-
tire all our gold at once and bring on
such panic as the country never be-
fore experienced, and in spite of all
Mr.. Cleveland might do to keep the
two metals at parity, the country
would step to a silver basis at once.
Bimetallism would bid the country a
long good bye, and silver monometal-
ism would take it's place. But the
FREE PRESS believes that the pa
triotism OF the country is aroused
and that next November free silver
coinage and Reputation will be buried
deep beneath the ballots of the peo-
pie, and that practical bimetallism
Will be retained in spite of the Popo-
Gratis and our 50-cent fat dollar
nelghbOr.

THE FACTORY NOT THE MINT.

The free silverites put forth an ar
gument to the farmers which at first
blush is very catching, but it will not
stand much investigation. 1t is that
the price of their wheat will be dou-
bled under free silver. Any one who
has wheat to sell would most natural
ly like to obtain twice the present
price for it. But little investiga-
tiOn, little thought. a little study
shows at once the weakness of their
case. In the first place to bring this
about means an entire change of
commercial conditions. No new de-
mand whatever is to be created for
wheat. The promised doubling in
price is to be given him by overturn-
ing the present commercial basis on
which business is done, and has been
done for more than sixty years and
create a new one with a dollar worth
only half as much as the dollar which
has been measured by gold value
since 1884.
But in creating this supposed in
creased value in wheat by a depre-
ciated dollar, the price of everything
else will be increased to like pro-
portion, and many of the manufac-
tured products at a still greater
ratio, and when the farmer has sold
his wheat he will find that it will
buy no more nor as much as it would
at the lesser price.
What the farmer wants is the
price of his wheat increased by a
greater demand for it and not by a
cheap dollar. And this greater de-
mand for it will be made, not by the
opening of the minis for the free
coinage of silver, but by the opening
of our silent factories and work
shops, whereby our wage earners may
have a chance to learn an honest dol
lar by honest toll"
"a few days ago we showed in these
columns that in 1892 the per capita
consumption of wheat in this coun-
try was 5.91 bushels, while in 1894
had dropped to 3.41 bushels per cap
tia. In this decreased use of wheat,
and not in silver, is the true reason
for it's low price today. Then the
price for it ranged as high as 85c. Let
this country be put again upon pro-
tective basis, let the industries that
were crippled by the present tariff
law receive the adequate protection
which they need, that they may again
flourish and furnish work for men who
are in forced idleness today; let these
men have the wages that would then
be paid out, to invest in the products
of the farm and the comforts of life,
and the consumption of wheat
would again begin to climb up toward
the point it reached in 1892, and the
farmer would find that the price
would climb with it, The wage
Garner could buy wheat at the price
that it was then, far easier than he
can now, because he had more
money. 1t is adequate protection and
not free silver coinage that this coun-
try wants to place it again upon the
road to prospery. Prosperity can
never De reached by cutting the value
of the dollar in two and giving two

of them for what one will now buy.
1t can only be reached by creating a
demand for the article, and to do this
labor must be given employment t..
The remedy lies in the factory not in
the mint.
