Fire Company Meeting

A. "A < ~ffiA4 lJeAAE AtAOoAAAlE
The Berry>ille Fire Company may
not be able 10 take under their pro
tectiug wing the property of their
county friends. but it cannot now be-
said that the fire ''laddies" have not
a thought for the convenience aud
comfort of those outside of their do
main, who frequently visit MS. At "A
meeting held last Friday night 1t
was unanimously determined 10 erect
drinking hydraut on Church street

that our county friends may wash
down the dust that gathers in their
throats during their dusty ride to
town, and thus relieve them of the
necessity of running from place TO
place IN town for a drink Of fresh
cool water. Since the completion of
the water system a public drinking
hydrant has been more or less talked
of, and as the corporation and coun
~ seemed disinclined TO erect one
the fire company took the matter in
hand and determined to act as stat
ed above, provided the corporation
will carry the water TO the curb.
which We understand they are will
Ing TO do. Mr.. Hamp Erb has mag
unanimously consented to DO the
trench work free of cost, and comes
IN for "a share of the credit also. Our
county friends should not now think
that the town is incOnsiderate of
their comfort and feelings, and we
hope they will show their apprecia
ton 10y coming to see us ofteuer in
steao of going elsewhere.
The company was Informed of the
appointment of Mr.. II. W. Baker u.
fire warden, which appointment was
made by the town council at the sol
icitatlon of the fire company. An
admiral selection.
The first spring practice of the
company will be held next FRIDAY
afternoon at o'clock date be

Weisnannisu. this does not follow at all. such
an education OF the ancestors would SIMPLY
produce in them certain acquired thaidS'elS'
and since these are not inherited, tNla pre-
vous training would not in the least ahccJ lhe
child, except 81 far it might cause the parents
to lead a different kind OF life and mdhe ugih
likely 10 give the child a better education. Inc
chids education begins only after he IS b9th'
and the education Of his parents has no eHeel
upon the characters which they transmit TO thelI
offspring"
This sounds rather plausible, but
there is a faHacy in It. In the first
place education is not wholly matter
of developing new qualities; in its
modern sense it is occupied quite as
much with getting rid of injurious ira
ditions. and letting the natural human
being have its way. Suppose, in land
where parents were bound by the ar
tificiaI custom of getting rid of haif
their children as soon as born, one class
Of people were to be educated for two
or three generations to give full play to
the natural parental emotions; would
not their children be different from the
other inhabitants of the country?
Would not the love and care surround
ing the infants affect them, even be
fore birth. and would not the prospect
of infanticide affect the parents of chill
dren of the other class in such way
as to influence those children who es-
capped death? What we call civilization
and culture is very largely matter
of family customs. The Difference and
care with which civilized man sur
rounds his wife have necessarily the
effect of allowing the children to de-
velop in a natural way, unmarried by
terror or other evil emotions. 1t is not
natural for parents to regard their
children with dislike and intolerance;
when children are so regarded it is due
to artihcially imposed conditions. Two
thirds of the actual vices of the human
race are artificial. If then, man gets
rid of these vices, and lives natural
kindly. wholesome life, alert to every
impression upon his moral or mental
nature, and if the impressions thus
made are good his children will be free
from the evils imposed upon the chill
dren of parents less sane and right in
their ideas. That is what good breed
ing. in the best sense of the word,
means.

Economics and Politics.

One OF the greatest difficulties in the
way Of a correct solution Of economic
problems in this country is the intense
party spirit in which such problems
ere treated With the party leaders the
first consideration is the success of
the organization to which they belong,
and this feeling is easily impaired TO
the great body Of the voters.
Economic questions should be studied
fairly and with the sole object Of as
certaining the truth. But it not infre-
quently happens that those who assume
to lead political organizations make
economic truth secondary and the in
terests Of their parties primary. 1t may
not be putting it too strongly 10 say
that in some cases. so far as they study
such questions at all, it is for the pur-
pose of enabling them TO conceal the
truth from those who constitute the
rank and file Of the parties. To this
end all sorts Of catch phrases are coined
TO warp the judgment and arouse the
passions, prejudices, and enthusiasm Of
men. This cause may be unconscious
ly pursued even by those who at heart
most Of men in active life are controlled
more or less by their PERSONAL interests
and environments, anI Of no men is
this more conspicuously true than Of
those who in one way or another have
attained the position Of party leaders.
They have both their party bias and
personal interests to influence their. ac-
fions and utterances
4 perfect example Of the truth Of
what is here suggested is found in the
great Presidential campaign Ct 1896. The
Republicans triumphed in that contest
very largely through catch phrasing and
the use Of epithets Their economic"
arguments had no support in the teach
ings Of any disinterested and reputable
economist. Had it not been for the
enormous and wholly unlocked for in
crease Of gold production, the unsound-
ness OF the Republican monetary con-
tentions in 1896 would by this time
have been demonstrated so completely
as to make the most Of those conten-
tions appear positively silly.
1t is recognized almost everywhere,
both IN business and economic circles,
that the revival Of business in Europe
early in 1886, and about a year later in
America, was due IN very large meas
ure 20 the great gold discoveries in
the Transyaal and elsewhere. Equally
clear is it that the outbreak OF the
Boer war and the sudden stoppage Of
the gold supply from South Africa ad-
ministered a check 20 business that was
distinctly felt on both sides Of the At
lantic Ocean. Prices that had been
steadily rising suddenly broke, and they
have been slowly declining ever since.
This gives very strong support to the
quantitative theory Of money, always
previously upheld by the best economic
authorities. but stoutly denied by Ke-
publican leaders all through the cam
paign. 1t is morally certain that
teTmins ton OF the South African con-
flict. and a resumption Of mining oper-
ations there upon the scale Of 1883
The times., 1901-06-11

will promptly check the downward
movement of prices, and in all prob
ability give them once more an upward
turn.
The same considerations apply to the
treatment Of the tariff problem. The
average Republican almost makes a
fetch of high protection, ana at this
time ASSUMES that all the prosperity
that exists is due to tie Dingley law.
1t is noteworthy, toe, that Republicans
are generally content if they only have
a Republican tariff. although it is well
known that no two tariffs enacted by
the Republican party have been iden-
teal. or anywhere near it, in their pro-
visions. In all of this they overlook
the circumstance that the crash If 1873
came with a Republican tariff in full
force and that the depression which
followed continued, with only tenn
porary revivals on a small scale, right
down to 1898, the policy Of the Coy
ernmeut being essentially Republican
all the time Even the great panic Of
1898 struck the country with Repub-
lican tariff in full force, and about iif-
teen mcnths before it was changed. The
trouble with the extreme partisan is
that he generally 5scribes everything
that is favorable IN the business stu
alton to the policy of his party while
the unfavorable features are ascribed
to something else.
Another difficulty that confronts US
in dealing with such matters is the fact
that when a party succeeds in fasten-
ing its policy upon the country for any
considerable length of time, even
though the policy may be wrong in
principle, business generally is adjusted
TO it, and any change Of a radical ma
tUre is almost certain to jar things
more or less for a time. If, for eX-
ample, a man is conducting a business
by the aid of what IS. in effect, a big
bonus out of the Treasury. and the
bonus is withdrawn he may and per
haps he viii, suspend his business for
a time, if for no other reason than to
show what a bad thing for the country
it was to deprive him of the bounty he
was receiving.
Hence there is more or less DISPOSE
ton to submit to grave extOrtions and
the maintenance Of policies clearly un-
just, rather than take the chances of
a temporary Inconvenience or loss. This
comes largely from the circumstance
that economic principles are not well
understood, and it brings Us back to
the original proposition that the peO-
pie usually receive their econo:nic
teachings through distorted partisan
medium. and are themselves almost as
partisan as the leaders who assume the
attitude of instructors. A great II any
people act as if they would really pre-
fer being robbed and impoverished un-
der the policy Of their own party than
TO receive a goodly measure Of relief
at the hands of their political oppo-
nents.
