Shops That Shut Down Tor the First Time
In Their History.

In Their History.
Hardly day passes but the Amer
lean people are sadly reminded Of the
fact that free trade administration
still reigns oyer cur country, and that
the free trade plot forum the industries
of the United States still drives manu-
facturers,+ farmers and labor down the
road that surely leads to poverty and
financial embarrassment.
A most remarkable result Of the de-
structiveness of the Cleveland admins.
tration is shown in the following e1-
tract taken from tariff reform daily
paper:
"Todsy, for the first time in the his
tory Of the britannia shop, the principal
departments shut down on q Saturday
toward the latter part of November, a
time that is always recognized as the
busiest month in the year.
"The German silver and few other
departments are running today. but the
most of the employees are taking days
vacation.

shut down last evening until Monday
next. Work is also slack in the other
silver factories, and the Oldest employees
are conjecturing as to the causes for this
state of affairs.
The Meriden Britannia company is
well known throughout the country as
one of the Oldest. as we'll as the largest,
concerns engaged in the manufacture Of
silver plated wares, and its fiaiware
branch has been large and important
part of its trade.
The t1atware has always been consid-
cred staple. Knives, forks and
spoons are necessary articles in every
household and cannot be regarded as
luxuries, and when people cannot afford
to buy them it looks as though the
times were SO bad, and tie people 50
poor, that folks were obliged to use
their fingers in place Of forks The
Cleveland paper says that 1.-THE Oldest
employees are conjecturing as to the
causes for this state of affairs. This y
wrong. They are through with "conlec-
turing" They know what ails the coun-
try. They are intelligent men and are
very well aware that the Democratic
free trade administration has robbed
them Of their work by destroying Amer
lean industries.

ology. The rooms and appliances
were modern and almost palatial,
bat the superintendent told me that
only about five per cent. of the pub
lie school children could afford the
time to take the course.
The whole question will be SIM
plified if the proposition be accepted
as a sound one, that the state should
educate only to the point necessary
to preserve itself. This point can be
reached by thorough and universal
primary education. No aid Is af-
forded this problem by attempting
to give few the advantages of
higher education. According to the
census Of 1860, ~ per cent. of the pop
ulation Of Spain could neither read
nor write, but it boosted in the pos
session of ten universities!
