ooh, its just the regular pendulum
swing" is the substance of what mem
bers of the administration say when
their attention is called to the large
amount of gold-more than 81, 900, 900
engaged last week in New York for
shipment to Europe, "and it will all
come back again in the fall to pay for
our crops" They may be right but
those with good memories have not for
gotten that Secretary Carlisle and his
assistants talked the same way in 1894,
when nearly $tO2, 100000, in gold went
to Europe, and in 1895, when the value
exported almost reached $1O5, 900, 900,
and in 1896, when it went close to
1857, 200, 900 and they know that this
gold was only brought back by issuing
$961, 100000 in U. S. bonds. Mr.. Nc
Kinley has said that he would not issue
bonds, but he has also said that Mr..
Cleveland did right in issuing them
when the continued demand for gold
caused the gold reserve in the U. s.
Treasury to fall below the arbitrary
limit set without any legal authority
by John Sherman when he was Secre-
tary of the Treasury. Everybody hopes
that this gold raid is not made by the
New York and London money changers
to force another issue of bonds, but
that doesn't keep people from wonder
ing what Mr. Mckinley would do,
should it turn out that way.

that this idea of official recognition
should have originated with the educa-
tors Of the state representing the public
schools.
This in itself is convincing proof that
the public schools of Tennessee COM
mand the services of men and women
who have true conception of their
work, who have encouraged great re-
form which will never move backward.
Aside from these considerations, this
building, with the exhibit made herein
will prove great educator not only to
the children, but to the parents, of all
who visit us.
Here are shown curiosties from every
land, def hands have been at work in
torrid and icy zones to make this de-
partment interesting. The mountain
boy has traced on his map the Watau-
ga, located the first literary institution
in the great valley of the Mississippi,
and written of the early settlements,
the girls from the rivers basins have
told of thewestern division of the state,
have marked the sluggish windings of
the Tennessee and Mississippi or told
of the privations and sufferings of the
early settlers along the Cumberland.
The growth of our public schools is
shown in the maps and books submitted
by the boys and girls attending. Here
will be countless objects to amuse and
instruct all who pass by and examine
them. Interest will center around the
living exhibition, kindergarten in
actual operation under trained workers,
showing in most pleasing way the I'M
folding of human soul.
In this building more than in any
other true merit wins, the highest and
most enabling side of life is pictured,
peace and happiness reigns supreme,
and the innocent laugh of the little
: child makes the happiest day happier
still. Hear the cry for traffic is not
heard, here the wheels of commerce
, and trade tell no stories of loss and fl
nancial disaster, but here is found
: truth, innocence, genuine patriotism,
youthful industry and budding gent.
: us, and the very walls by their white
2 ness show the purity of the cause, bu
3 typify the undefled mind, and spot.
less soul of a little child.
