THE FREE-TRADE LEAGUE.

Although the new tariff has not yet
been put into final shape. the free traders
have already opened attacks upon it and
have entered upon what appears to be the
beginning of prolonged agitation. A
circular recently issued by the New Eng
land Free-trade League assails the pro-
posed measure in bitter terms, and offers
to furnish documents for the use of free
traders who will cooperate in the pro-
posed cam paign.
A further agitation of the tariff would
be great injury to the business interests
OF the country, for it would render uncer-
tain the continuance of the law under
which our industries and commerce are
to be carried on. This, if there were no
other reason, would be in itself sufficient
for condemning the course which tie
New England Free-trade League seems
determined TO pursue. How far, there
fore, it will find support in any section of
the country is not easy to calculate, for
public opinion has long since reached the

WHERE CRLDIT Is DUE.

Worthy of high praise for their zeal, dill
gence and success are the men and women
who have done such effective service on
the various committees in preparing for
the coming of the Christian Endeavorers
and taking care of them on their arrival.
TIE task was an important one, requiring
energy, tact and mucn executive ability.
If there had been any failure it would
have been excusable, considering the rush
of the great crowds and the many dis
advantages Of having to work in hurry,
but there has been no hitch nor jar ana
all the arrangements have been made
with such skill that the great convention
is moving smoothly upon the performance
of its work.
The quick transformation of Mechanics
Pavilion into handsome hall with COM

tasteful!y decorated with purple and
gold, and adorned with flowers and
pictures, was an achievement 10 be proud
of. The safeguards those in charge are
taxing TO prevent overcrowding and secure
comfort for all, were wisely designed and
are well enforced. The reception and
registration committees have done
will be we'll taken care of while in the
City, and be enabled both to have an
enjoyable time and to do their work
thoroughly without any impediment
from poor arrangements.
The who City and State will honor
and applaud these workers. They are
commendable not merely as church mem
bers but as civil servants, for the City's
reputation was at stake in the manner in
which this great host was to be handled,
their arc uous and clever labors San Fran
cisco will be credited with the capacity to
take adequate care of an immense crowd
of visitors, who come, as it were, all at
once, and being thus favorably known as
a good convention City will be again and
again honored.
While we are admiring the eloquent
orators and the leading teachers in the
big convention, and recognizing the aid
that the mass of attendants give by the
mere enthusiasm they bring and the power
aroused for good by their presence, we
must not forget the honor due to those
who have done so faithfully the drudgery
of detail work. The Endeayorers are
striving for spiritual Things, and will
doubtless accomplish much, and those
who have attended 10 the material ar
rangements that make these accom- plish-
ments possible must have due credit as
factors in whatever success is achieved.

RETAIL CREDITS.

In recent address before the National
Association of Credit Men," James G.
Cannon, vice. president of the Fourth Ma
tional Bank OF New York, declared it is
the wealthy class who give most trouble
in retail credits.
His information was gathered from a
large number of merchants in various
parts OF the country, whose general ex-
perience was that the slowest paying GUS
toners are those who could most easily
afford TO pay cash, and they were even
emphatic enough to say, ait is almost i'm
possible to collect from them"
1t is not uncommon to hear this stated
as q general truth, but as names and
specific charges are seldom forthcoming,
the assertion is generally doubted. The
declaration OF such an authority as Mr..
Cannon is not to be so easily set aside,
however, and public opinion should con-
denim the dilatorness of the wealthy who
have no excuse for thus impeding trade
and putting people of small means to
great inconvenience.
There is great benefit to the whole
community in the prompt payment of
even very small sum OF m oney. A. ten
dollar gold piece may easily travel in 4
week through a score of hands, and be q
distinct relief to each person. One care
lessIy delayed payment may cause a long
series of involuntary ones, each involving
deprivation or loss; and several such
initial delays would soon multiply into a
sum that would exert stagnating effec t
on trade.
Why the rich should be guilty of this
petty negligence is a puzzle. Possibly in
some cases their investments are bringing
such rapid returns that by staving off u
bill twelve months they can then nearly
pay it with the earnings of the money
they have thus held up. The statement
that q shrewd man can live on the inter-
ests of his debts Is not so absurd as it
sounds. Ii is not by any means such a
proposition as lifting ones self by ones
bootstraps. Many people can thus for
years manage to maintain the margin be-
tween snowy style OF living and what
would be the severe sim plicily OF strictly
honest promptness.
a more frequent reason may be nero
lofty contempt for little things like but en-
er's and bakers biIls-the matter is too
trivial to be remem bered; and if they are
reminded of their debts the dunner is con-
sidered pestiferously rude and he must be
duly punished by losing his trade to some
one more polite.
Much of this wrong is merely habit and
can be easily cured by making the wealthy
aware of the i'll effects of their careless
ness, and by stirring up the merchant to
an insistence on his dues, both as duty
TO himself and to the general business
world. The simple performance of plain
duty by the pat ron in prompt paying and
by the trader in demanding payment
would do much good 10 the general pros
perity.

THE SLEEPING SEA.

The sun sinks down where SKY and waters meet,
1ingeing with red and gold the dark'n ng sheet;
The cloudy curtains close arou nd his bed.
And twilight comes with soft aud steathy tread.

Lightens the waters with q silvry sheen;
The seagnls DIP and skim along the waves
Toward heir homes, among the rocks and caves

Kissed by the moonligh With atey grace,
Caressing the white sands, thv waves advance,
And ro away into the vast expanse.

conclusion that il would be better to &C
cept even an i'm perfect tariff, so long as II
yields an adequate revenue for the Gov
ernment and provides protection to IN
dusiry, rather than to continue the strife
which has been so disastrous to the coun-
try ever since it began.
The attitude of the Democratic party in
Congress gives encouragement to the nope
that we are about to see the end OF tarlH
agitation as political issue. No Demo-
crat of importance in the House and very
few in the Senate made any persistent ell
fort to delay the passage OF the bill, ana
quite mum Der of them voted for 1t. The
measure was drawn up with the intention
of providing tariff which would be salts
factory to all sections of the Union, and
there is every reason to believe 1t will
prove so to the majority of persons en-
gagged in commerce and industry.
This being the situation, it is altogether
likely the New England Free-trade
League will find that it has distributed it's
circulars in vain. The offer of documents
will not find many takers. The main
political strength CT free trade in the past
has been in the South, and now that

The maintenance of the New England
Free trade League will afford number OF
excellent gentlemen a means for continn-
ing their academic discussions on tariff
subjects, and for that reason it may be
worth while for them to continue. They
will never be able, however. during the
rest of this generation to create an agita-
ton of any great force, and it will be a
waste of money for them to publish their
essays or pay the postage necessary for
their distribution.

SMALL COLLEGES.

In these dcys when the great universi.
ties of the land have become so dominant
as 10 almost crowd out the smaller CEN
ters OF higher education it is gratifying to
hear from an official in high rank word
of cheer and comnendati Tor the
smaller institutions. Secretary Wilson,
in recent interview, has declared him.
self a champion and advocate Of small
colleges, and his words are worth repeat
ing, ior they merit consideration. He
said among other things:
don't believe in big institutions. don't
believe in the Capitalization OF the edrca-
tional facilities. l think that they do more
good if they are scattered. The fewer pupils
that professor has the more attention he
can give them, and while, OF course, he ought
10 have enoueh to provide him a decent com.
pensation. he ought not to have more than he
can handle. There are forty colleges in Iowa
already, and they are multiplying all the
time. hope to see the day when there is n
college in every county and 500 students In
every college.
The Secretary'is not altogether right in
his views. Great universities are neces-
sary in our times, and the proof of their
usefulness is TO be found in the succe "a
tney nave dttdiUeH anu the WORK tneV
have accom- plished. The movement OF
the age is toward Capitalization and it can
be excluded from the fields of education
no more than from any other. Neverthe-
less his hearty advocacy of small colleges
is good. and what he has said for them is
both true and timely.
Our great universities have done more
for science and the advancement of learn
ing than the smaller colleges. but they have
not had such good success in training
youth. The relation between student and
teacher is not SO close as in the small in.
stitusions which are scattered over the
country. Some of our best trained men
have graduated from rural colleges which
are hardly known to fame, and this will
continue to be SO as long as America en-
dures.
There will be general agreement with
the hope that "there shall be a college IN
every county with 500 stude nts in every
college," That would be true American
system of ed ucation, for il would place
collegiate course within reach of every
ambitious youth. May the time of its
realization come soon.
