The Salary Question.

The meeting of the school board
Monday night, did not result in much
definite action.
The time of beginning the term was
set at September %.
There seems to be considerable diff
ference of opinion among the board
on the salary question.
We are of the opinion that this is
not the time of year to wrangle
very much over salaries. The prob
abilities are that those who have
stayed up to this date have closed
their eyes and set their teeth, deter
mined to take anything that comes.
The cadaverous appearance of the old
guard among the teachers would indi-
cate thS, they had hot been Over-fed
and should be warning to all new
applicants. Notice the scrawny, Woe
begOne appearance of Dennis, Swain
and Joyce, and you cannot conclude
that they have been indulging to any
great extent in riotous living induced
by excessive salaries. Neither is there
any outward indication of the accu-
mutation Of plutocratic wealth.
The TINES has always advocated
better wages for better service, and
An onward and upward policy in our
schools. Better service cannot be Sc
cured without better wages. 1t is
never too late to do good, it is said,
bat the same effort applied earlier IN
the game would have resulted in
greater benefits.
We are glad to see the spirit of ad
vancement manifested by the board
and hope 1T may grow and bear fruit.

REST OF THE WORLD

Francis Curtis, in American Economist.
Little did the trainers of our flrst
tariff law think that this then strug-
Cling country would in little more
than century not only surpass ev-
ery other nation on earth in resour-
.ces, production, consumption and
wealth, but would compare most ia
vorably with all the rest OF the
world combined. With less than S
per cent of the population and only
7 per cent of the area, yet in doz'
en- ways we equal or surpass all the
rest of the world combined, and
taken as a whole we are equal to
one.half of all the remainder OF
mankind besides ourselves.
This result has been accomplished
by us in about century OF time,
against from five to ten centuries
for the countries of Europe, and
nearly a score of centuries for the
world at large. 1t should constant
lv be borne in mind that our popu-
lation is less than S per cent and
our area only per cent, proving
that the result is not due to the
number of men and miles, but to
character and artihce.
First, as regards production:
We equal or surpass all the rest
of the world in corn, cotton, eggs,
petroleum, leather products, cop
per, forest and products.
OF the following we produce two
thirds as much as the rest of the
world: Coal, pig iron, steel, and
three-fifths of the total food and ag-
ricultural products and manufac-
lures.
We produce one-half as much as
the rest of the world IN the follow

third as much in gold, wheat, oats.

A man travelling through Arkansaw
was complaining Of the way his corns
we're hurting him, when he stopped at
the cabin of a native to get drink of
water. The woman OF the house and
10 tow-headed children came out to
look him over. The woman was bare
footed and so were all the children.
In few minutes the old man, who
was also ba:efooted, hove in sight.
For minute the strangers heart was
filed with pity as he looked at the
family of natives, and the pity was in-
creased when the woman told him
that she hadn't had but one pair of
shoes since she was married IL years
ago. Just then one of his corns got

"What mout Le the matter, strang-

"An' unly think" said the woman
to her husband, as the stranger rode

as in the United Kingdom, 3 in
Germany, S in Austria and 7 in
Russia. The farm laborers of Eu-
rope do nine times the work to get
double the result of the farm labor
ers in the United States. That is,
it takes AZ Europeans to equal one
American. Extend the comparison
to Asia and Africa and We find that
the average United States producer
is equal to ten the world over, out
side of our own country. This
comparison is emphasized by our
coal consumption and steam power
and finally by our products Of man
ufacture.
1t is only matter of supereroga-
ton to extend the comparison fur
ther. There remains, then, the
question, Why?
No cne cause alone answers the
question. We must add to resource,
opportunity, necessity. develop
ment, invention, energy, skill, am
bltion, all aided in creation, nour-
ishment and accomplishment by
the American system of protection.
Resource without labor is of no
value; production without price is
waste of energy. The mills must be
busy to provide a market for the
products of the earth, and the work
ers must have wages with which to
buv the fruit of the farmers labor.
All along up through the decades
we found work to do, and we have
done it ourselves. We have, dur
ing two thirds of the time, protect
ed our labor and industries by a
tariff that has kept out competing
products. In this way we have
built up home market among our
1906, 900 of people equal to one
half the rest of the worlds markets.
1t cannot be said that we have
had undue natural and civil advan-
tages. We have had wars to check
our progress and we have had peri
ods of free trade which have been
disastrous in the extreme. But a
return to protection has always en-
abled us to quickly recover lost
ground and forge ahead. We have
fertile soil and rich mines; so have
other peoples. We have wide areas;
so have other peoples. We have
energy and brains; so have other
peoples. But not to degree de-
veloped here. Our industry and in
come enable us as a people to live
better, to eat more and better food,
to wear better clothes, to have more
comforts, to possess more convent
ences and to indulge in more luxury
than any other people on earth.
This can but be inspiring and pro-
ductive of national character, which
while content, is never satisfied but

twice as much corn as all the rest
of the world combined, one-fifth as
much wheat, one third as much
cats, one third as much cotton, one
fifth as much wool, one-third as
much sugar, one-half as much fish,
nearly as much coffee, onc-fourth
as much tea, about three fifths as
much meat-all food and agricul-
tural products.
We have one-third as much
wealth, one-third as much gold,
one-f fifth as much silver, one tenth
as many sheep, onethird as many
COWS, as much forest era, thirds
the railroad mileage, or counting
total track, about as much as all
the rest of the world combined.
We have twice as much life insur-
ance in force, one half as much saw
ing bank deposits; we spend two
thirds as much for education, we
have one-fourth the spindles in op-
Grafton, nearly one-fourth as much
shipping, one-fourth as many ex-
ports, about one-tenth as much rev.
enue and expenditures, and less
than one thirtieth as much debt.
We produce little or no tea and
coffee, only about per cent of the
sugar and rye, less than per cent
of the wine, and we make no sig
nlicent showing in few other un-
important productions.
Still, the net showing is a Won
derful one, and taking everything
into consideration we produce and
consume about half as much as the
rest of the world combined. Re-
member, the comparison is not
with the world, but with the rest of
the world besides ourselves.
There is not much better index
to a country's condition than the
freight carried. According to Sen
ator Chauncey M. Depew, who
should be an unquestioned author
ity on railroad business, the freight
carried on the railroads of the
United States equals the freight car
ried on all the other railroads of
the earth and by all the ocean ship
ping. To this should be added our
immense lake and coast trade.
Ex-Speaker Reed estimated that
the people of the United States,
when our population was about TO-
900, 900, were equal as consumers
as a market for our own and the
worlds productions-compared with
the rest of the world-to 700, ooo,-
900. The same comparison seems
to hold good today, and our 77,-
900, 900 people are equal to 77o,-
900, 900, or one-half the rest of the
world. That is, every man, woman
and child in the United States is
equal to ten persons outside of the
United States, particularly as con-
sumers of our own and the worlds
products of agriculture, mining and
manufacture.
