TILE HERALD. WEDNESDAY,, sEpTEdBER is 1885,

the next year, the last year of the Nc
Kinley tariff, the decrease was 61S,O21.
This decrease is to be deplored, as is
also Mr.. Hollingsworth's attempt to
make it appear that the decrease in the
number OF sheep in Harrison county
began when the Mckinley tariff ceased
to be operative He should look fur
Their back than the tariff law of 1894
for he distress that is upon the coun-
try and all its industries; he should
look back to the time when silver was
demonetized and the people deprived of
that natural and constant increase in
the medium of exchange, which free
coinage gives, to discover the true
causes. And when he has done this he
should reflect that Major Mckinley
stands forth the champion and defend
er of that policy. And then he should
hang his head in shame.

INTDIIDAT4NG VOTERS.

More than ninety per cent of the
commercial travellers in the territory
east Of the Rocky mountains are said
to be in the service of the Republican
national committee electioneering for
Mr. Mckinley and a gold standard. It
is reported that many of these believe
in bimetallism, but are compelled by
their employers to advocate gold
standardism. They are instructed to
bear down upon the country merchants
and, as far as possible, both by ar
gument and threats of cessation of
credit, hold them in line for Mckinley
Thus the Republicans seem to be con-
Quoting, not a campaign Of education,
but a campaign of coercion and intimi--
dalton. Not content with practicins-
seduction, the managers of Mr. Me-
Kinley's campaign are boldly attempt
ing to withhold from a large number
of its voting populace the right to cast
a free balboa prerogative which is
inherent to every citizen and which up
to this time has been generally re-
spected as a sacred legacy. Such bull

FRANCIS }. CHILD.

In the death of Professor Francis j.
Child not only Harvard university
sustains a great loss, but the entire
country does. He was professor of
English literature at the university,
and was generally recognized as the
most learned man at that institution
of learning. He graduated in 1916,
among his classmates being Professor
Charles Eliot Norton and Senator
George F. Hoar. When he first be-
came a member of Harvards faculty
he was tutor in mathematics, and
afterwards became a tutor in rhetoric
and history. 1t was in 1876 that he
became professor of English litera-
ture. His enduring fame will rest upon
his work in ballad poetry He was
the greatest living authority upon that
subject. and his great work English
and Scottish Ballads" is an enduring
monument. Nine parts have been pub
lished, and a tenth was promised. 1t
is the most complete work upon the
subject in existence. He superintended
the American edition of the British
poets published by Houghton, Mifflin
& Co. His other published works are:
-Four Old Plays QS4S; a collection of
Poems OF Sorrow and Comfort" (Bos-
ton, 1860, and observations of the
Language of Chaucer and Cover IN
the first part of Ellis Early English
Pronunciations." In his death Eng
lish literature has sustained a great
loss; a great light has gone out.

THE MAINE ELECrIoN.

Maine has gone Republican, gone Re-
publican as she went on a certain his
torical occasion. Throughout the land
the goldbugs will shout for joy, for
Republican victory means a gold vic
tory. The plurality is the largest in
the history of the state 1t makes it
certain that the state will be over
whelmingly for Mckinley in November,
but that, we believe, is all that can be
predicated on this victory. AS we said
WHEN commenting upon the result OF
the Arkansas election, it simply means
that the people are deeply interested in
the great issue that is before them this
year, the financial issue, and that they
are turning our to the polls to give
expression to their views. No doubt
the opponents of free silver will try to
make much of the fact that Maine is
Mr.. SewalPs state and that Mr.. Sewall
is the presidential candidate of the
Democratic party. They will also point
to the fact that there has been a loss
in the Democratic vote. All this does
not amount to much, that is, SO far as
other states are concerned. When any
state that is surely Democratic or Re-
publican by a very large majority in
creases its majority no great stress
should be put upon that fact. This
has been the case with Maine in the
present election. 1t makes one thing
sure, which is that Tom Reed will
again be speaker of the house, if it shall
be Republican. The Republicans are.
entitled to do some growing over the
result in Maine and they will do it.
No one can forecast what will be the
result of the election from any or all
CT the state elections that have thus far
occurred. The Republican party gains
this advantage: the speakers who have
been in Maine are now free to devote
their time and services to other states.

SOMETHING ABOUT SHEEP.

In introducing the Harrison county,
O., delegation to Mr.. Mckinley, ex-At-
torney-General Hollingsworth stated
that in 1892, the last year of the Nc
Kinley tariff. the sheep of Harrison
county numbered" etc We are in
formed that the speech was loudly and
enthusiastically applauded, perhaps be-
cause of its gross misstatement of
facts. He stated that 1892 was the last
year of the Mckinley tariff. Il was
not: it was the second year of the
Mckinley tariff, it having gone into
effect October 6. 1880, while the Wilson
German tariff law did not go into eff
feet until August l. 1894. What the
decrease in the number of sheep in
Harrison county was in the two years
following the da..e fixed as the time
when the Mckinley tariff ceased to be
operative, we do not know, but the de-
crease in Ohio in 1898 was IS, 1902; while

WHAT MAKES WAGES.

In his Omaha speech Mr. Bourke
Cochran stated that he had asked Mr..
Bryan upon what wages were based,
and Mr.. Bryan had not answered him
because he could not Mr.. Cochran is
entirely mistaken when he says that
Mr.. Bryan could not tell him upon what
wages are based. One of the most i'm
portant, it is at the same time one of
the most simple questions in political
economy. They are based upon the de-
mand for labor and what they are is
determined by the capability of any
industry to produce its goods or articles
at a profit. The greater the profit the
greater the wages. An increase in the
demand for the goods or articles pro-
duced means an increase in profits.
Mr.. Cochran, like so many who are
arguing uron the same side as himself,
ignores the fact that while there may
be an increase in the price of commodi-
ties an increase in wages puts it in the
power OF the laborer to satisfy his
wants, using wants as synonymous
with needs, and have a greater margin
of savings left. That margin saved
soon gives him the means to satisfy
desire, because the increase in the price
is not so great as his increased saw
ings. To illustrate: Supposing a mans
wages are increased from S1.50 to 81
per day. The increase is 80 1-3 per cent.
He desires some article that was form
erly $1.50, but which now costs 81. His
increase in wages will allow him to
purchase it with the savings of four
days, while the increase in his wages
for the other two days of the week will
compensate him for the increase in nee
essaries. Free silver would increase
the cash capital which would increase
the demand for labor
Mr.. Cochran did not expound a very
difficult question to Mr.. Bryan. and
surely not one he could not have an
swered had he so minded

FATE OF A GOLD PAMPHLET.

The New York Evening Post, the
rankest gold paper in all the country,
keeps this announcement ait the head
of its editorial columns: "One million
four hundred thousand copies of the
first edition of the Evening Posts Free
Coinage Catechism,' 32mo, 16 pages,
have been sold. The price is one cent
a copy." There is more to it, but .his
is sufficient TO indicate the nature of
the announcement. The pamphlet is
gotten I'D in the Posts we'll known
style. Here is a specimen of its argu-
mentation:
"Q.-Why do the free coinage speak
ers not use these facts and figures?
A.-Because the facts and figures are
against them"
And this:
What have we proved by examining
the statistics of money supply and pro-
duction? A.-Three facts: d That
the money supply of this country and
Of the world at large is not contracting,
but increasing rapidly; co that the
low price of farm products is caused
by increased production, not by con-
traction of the currency; and (3) that
the. farmers condition would not be at
all improved by free coinage of silver. ;"
This is proceeding on the well known
lines of the Every Man His Own Law
YER theory A man who would pro-
pound 2 question to himself which he
could not answer, when be intended
to publish both question and answer,
would be little less than fool Hence
the success of the answers-in the
book.
The pamphlet has been pretty widely
distributed in the east, and has been,
so to speak, as bread cast upon the
waters. One has returned, but through
misrepresentation or by some mistake
it was sent to the Washington Post,
with this endorsement upon it:
eve return with our compliments the
dry rot stuff within. If there are any
lunatics in Washington, give them
your dirty circulars, and keep them
away from the decent, patriotic people

STUDY OF THE DEAD LANGUAGES.

Greek and Latin are two great dead
la7 guages, and yet to the linguist they
are anything but dead. Dr. Basil L.
Gildersleeve professor of Greek at the
Johns Hopkins university, has just re-
turned to Baltimore after tour
through Greece. He found his know
ledge of Greek was of much service to
him. He says: II found that with my
knowledge of ancient Greek it was no
trouble for me to read the newspapers
and the signs along the streets, but the
case was different with regard to the
spoken language, which is also the
language of poetry. Two influences
are actively at work with the language
now, one seeking to archalze it, TO get
back to the classic, while the other de-
sires to substitute the modern COLO
quail form for the older tongue
His familiarity with the ancient
Greek gave him almost as much know
ledge of the modern Greek as would
have been gained by the study of it.
There is no such connection between
the Latin and any modern tongue.
Much is said against the study of the
dead languages, and no doubt much
time is thrown away on them. Men
prepare for college in Latin and Greek,
pursue their study through college and
leave college knowing very little about
them. When such is the case the fact
is that they have not studied them in
diligently. The great trouble usually
lies in the preparation for college. Too
often it is wholly deficient, and while
so many lines of Caesar and Virgil,
the Xenephon, and Homer are read at
the examination and a modicum of
grammar passed back of all that is
the fact that the preparation has been
inadequate. too often the fault of poor
teaching. 1t is better that child
never study either Latin or Greek than
to study it under a poor instructor, for
he will never make up that lack of
thorough and systematic drilling he
should have had in his youth. Another
thing that brings the study of these
languages into more or less disrepute
is the fact that so many study them
that they may be able to say they have,
still having the old idea that their
study is a necessary part of every gen
tlemans education. When studied for
this object it is time thrown away but
studied with a definite object and use
full purpose in view it is not. In moth
ing is the saying truer that he travels
furtherest and with greatest speed who
travels towards a particular place with
a definite purpose than in education
