EXHIBIT THIRD GRADE.-The pupils Of
Mrs. Douglass grade, in the public schools,
have an exhibition of their work in their
school room, of which they are justly
proud, and for which their teacher de.
serves a great deal of credit. there are
1,Ol5 separate sheets of paper on exhibition
and each Of these sheets represents many
anxious minutes of their preparers and
many careful and encouraging criticisms
from their painstaking teacher. Tho ex-
hibition consists Of work in drawing, spell
ing, arithmetic, composition and penman-
ship. To he latter two exhibits, THE
Optic reporter was particularly interest
ed, from the fact that it was SO splendidly
done and by children of the ages Of from
eight to ten years. The drawing is also
very good and is also noticeable for its
~neatness. II you are out tomorrow,
visiting the schools, do not fail to call for
a few moments. at least, at Mrs. Douglass
room. You Will be warmly welcomed and
well re. paid for the trouble.

BAD FOR THE WOODEN TRADE,
The Republican Tariff Policy Is Fatal -
Business.

nuaAnthHs
We have shown how the tariff policy
of the republican party, as expressed by
the bill recently passed, would increase
the cost of wooden goods, both foreign
and domestic, to consumers. The bill
calls for an addition of about 80 per
cent. to the cost of foreign woolcns
until August l, 1898, and the party
leaders openly promise to make a fur
ther increase at that time if they shall
have the power to make it. On tho
other hand, they would increase the
cost of domestic woolcns now by add.
ing 4212 per cent. to the cost of the raw
material, with the understanding that
they intend TO add about 80 per cent.
more by and by.
We invite the attention of American
manufacturers of woolens to the effect
of such a policy. They have been using
great quantities Of wool, both foreign
and domestic, during the last IL months
They have been able to use the best
woods of the world free of tariff tax.
They have imported more than 1885,
100000 pounds of clothing woods. Hav-
ing set out to adapt their industry to
the new conditions and to take adj.
vantage of them, they are now threat
ened by the republican party with the
imposition in the near future Of the
house bill should or could become a
law of n duty which would increase
the cost of such wool by AYE per cent,
or from an average of 1872 cents to
about 90 cents n pound, and with com
p]ensatiOn" amounting to about 30 per
cent. of the value of foreign wOOlCns.
It is openly proclaimed, moreover,
by the republican leaders that they
would prefer now to impose n duty
which would increase the cost price Of
such wool from 1872 cents to 2G% cents
a pound, and the promise is clearly
mai that they will impose this addi-
Il. ,n tax in 1s9s if they shall then con-
troll the government.
That is to say, the republican policy,
The Houma courier. (Houma, La.) 1878-1939, 1896-02-22

as affecting the American manufacture
ers of wOolens, is to take the manu-,
facturers' raw material from the free
lis now and tax it for 42h per cent.
for two years, and at the end of the two
years to increase the tax to more Kan
20 per cent. What must be the cffectof
such repeated disturbance upon any
great industry? What would be the
effect of it upon the domestic manu-
facture of wooden goods? Can such a
policy be regarded by American wooden
manufacturers with complacency? We
urge them to give the matter thought
full consideration.-N. y. Times.

She filed a canteen from the cool

She could not see, but the hnarse voice
of the dying Indian guided her. She
stumbled over something in h dark,
and it made her shudder. She reached
the side of the form from which the
faint cries for water came-a form with
a great bleeding, mortal wound in i

~gone-and stopped over to put the

conciliate the bonanza miners and the
champions of fiat money.
In view of these facts as we'll as of
the further fact that the measures re-
ferred to are to be the subject of long
discussion in the senate, where every
financial heresy has an advocate among
the republicans or their pOpulist allies,
the expected happened when Secretary
Carlisle made his latest issue Of bonds.
Time and time again President Clevc-
land has given the country the most
positive assurance that he would under
any and all circumstances maintain
the public credit by maintaining the
gold reserve. When impending finan-
cial disaster became sufficiently proba-
bic to make delay hazardous, the prom

bond alone could be issued under exist
ing law. Everything that would tend
to popularize it has been done and pro-
vision is made for the issuance OF bonds
under a new law should it be provided
in time to make such a step practicable.
The pledge of the administration has
been carried out as a matter of safety.
The course of the republican party with
the radical difference of sentiment that
has asserted itself in the senate has not
been such as to create faith at home or
IN the financial world. The people,
whose most vital interests are at stake,
will not consent that partisanship shall
prevail to jeopardize public and private
credit. Thus far the majority in con-
gress has impressed the country with
q conviction hat there are divided
councils and greater efforts for faction
al advantage than for the general good.
1t is a matter for the heartiest con-
graduation that there is a strong adj
ministration to meet the dangers with
which congress is showing itself in
competent to cope.-Detroit Free Press.
The republicans are again in con-
troll in congress, but the tenure of their
power will depend on the character OF
their stewardship. If they fail to meet
the just requirements of all intelligent
and patriotic people the next election
will result in their overwhelming de-
feat and condemnation. The claims
that bind voters to party are no longer
steel or iron, and the first exhibition of
selfshness in legislation will provoke
such a destruction of links and strands
as will make the future party contests
