Order.

Good order cannot be secured with
out active attention, and active at
tention cannot be got without giving
pupils employment of the right kind,
and this. in turn, necessarily involves
continuous study on the part of the
teacher. If q teacher finds difficulty
III keeping order, let him devote more
m to the preparation Of the lessons
he is to teach the next day. and par
ticularly to those lessons he intends
to assign. Many teachers spend plan-
ty OF time on the lessons they are
about to teach or examine on: but
give little or no attention to the selec-
ton of lessons previous to the time
when they are about to assign them.
Lessons are often assigned in a hap.
hazard manner
Special attention should also be given
to the selection Of definite work for
pupils while not engaged in actual reel
tations. Those who fail in the man
agement of an ungraded school may
be ble to trace the cause to 4 neglect
of this essential part of their duty.
1t would be folly to expect children to
control themselves properly in school
for hours with nothing to do. If teach
erS do not furnish suitable employ
ment, the pupils will find exercise iD
the shape of fun and mischief.

The sltnnilon I'm the Enst.

The gold standard Democrats Of
Illinois have issued an appeal to
those of similar views in which it
is recommended that a national
convention be held and ticket
put in nomination instead Of voting
for the Republican candidate and
platform.
In New York there is u wide
difference Of opinion as tO the best
course to pursue. Some favor voting
direct for Mckinley others urge
the putting new ticket in the
field, while still others think the
best plan IS to make silent protest
by refusing to vote at all on the
presidency Against placing third
ticket IN the field is objected the
expense of campaign confessedly
futile 50 far as the success of the
ticket is concerned.
While the question remains un-
decided the Chicago ticket is
steadily gaining strength among
the Democrats in New York, and
throughout the east. Tammany
has decided to give it unqualified
support, arguing that the nomina-
tions were made by regularly
called Democratic convention and,
therefore, there is nothing for
Democratic organization to do but
support the men placed in the field
by that convention.
The New York Journal has de-
clared unequivocally for Bryan
and Sewall and the Chicago plat
form in an editorial reproduced in
full in another column. Its tone
indicates a purpose to make an
aggressive fight for the ticket and
its large circulation will enable it
to do good for the cause.-Plain

place.
Among the callers upon the dis

"Can we hope to sec you in Ohio

The Platforms.

The Republican platform on the
money question reads as follows
"We favor the free coinage of
silver by international agree
ment."
The Democratic platform reads
owe favor the free coinage of sill
yer without international agree
ment."
Here comes up the propositions:
DO we propose to run this govern.
ment or let England run it? The
Republican platform admits that
free coinage of silver would be a
good thing for America but we
must crawl down on our bellies and
ask England if we can have it,.
The Democratic party says that
free coinage is good thing and
we propose to have il whether
England says so or not. We are
the greatest nation on the globe,
and if by the workings of syndi-
Gates and millionaires our power is
usurped and delegated to England,
it is our fault for not rising up in
our might and crushing out the
British allies called the Republi-
can party in this country. We are
for America and demand the legis-
lat,on for Americas good without
asking Britain VIII ether we can or
not. We have dumped Britain
and her high tariff tea into the
Boston harb0r, and we can dump
her and her colleagues into the
seas again, and will do it this fall
with storm Of ballots.

What is Meant by the Ratio of 1s to 1.

Answer-In IA period of 400 years
reliable statistics show that with
slight variations, or oscillations
the relative product of silver and
gold mines from year to year has
been l6 pounds Of silver to one OF
gold. This being the fact, our con-
stitution having provided that
both should be money metals, Con-
grcss fixed the ratio of their coin
age TO correspond as near as posi-,
BILE to the ratio of their production.
Hence it is that the silver dollar
contains 37ll grains Of pure silver,
and the gold dollar contains 90 2
grains Of pure gold. The quantity
of either silver or gold in dollar
is purely arbitrary.

Is Gold Fixed Standard of Value

Is Gold q Fixed Standard of Value
We are told by our Republican
friends. and single standard men
in general, that gold has fixed
and certain value, and is not sub
iect to the fluctuations which affect
other things. They are forced to
assume this in order to maintain
their position that the yellow is the
only proper and honest money
metal.
In order to ascertain the truth OF
this claim it is necessary 20 exam.
inc the conditions under which
gold is used as money.
First; The use Of gold as money
is regulated by law, and as the
laws Of the principal commercial
nations are very similar, there is
but little variance in the money
value. But gold like all other pro-
ductions of the East is subject to
the universal, natural laws of sup
ply aud demand, and this law re-
gulates and controls the value Of
all things. gold included.
Gold is used in the arts and for
money and the demand for both
purposes fixes and controls the
price but so long rs the value of
the gold used in the arts is eX-
pressed In the gold in the coin their
value will be, and RENAME qua,
or in other words a quantity
of gold is worth the same, as an
other equal quantity of gold.
The nominal price OF gold being
fixed by law, the rise or fall of its
price, in relation to supply and de-
mand. will only appear in the price
of other commodities when their
prices are expressed in gold values.
Until the year 1873 both silver
and gold was used, by the whole
commercial world, England ex-
cepted, as money; the quantity OF
each being practically equal.
Silver was demonitized by the
United States and Germany in
1878 and by the Latin Union in
1871. These acts added 150,00O,000
to the number Of people US n gold,
exclusively, as money and added
nothing to the existing volume of
the metal. The effect OF this great
increase in the demand for gold
did not change the number of
grains Of the pure metal in a dol
lar, but its effect was apparent in
the rapid decline Of the prices OF all
other kinds of property except
debts.
The decline was greatly aGceler-
ated when India demonitized silver
In 1898 and increased the demand
for gold by adding 3J0,OO0,0O0 more
people to the number gold mono
of the world. The in
,reased price of gold is apparent
md is continually progressing.
