The mills of this city have suf-

to run them for, possibly, a. week
longer, and unless the situation
improves wonderfully they will
have to close down by that time.

PA ZRON/ZE HOME INDUS
TRY

There is a marked tendency
among certain element in every
community to send away for
things which can be had at
home. This is true of Lafayette
as it is of every other town in
the State. This policy, if it may
be termed a policy, is excusable
when pursued by persons who
are independent of local aid or
whose occupation is of charac
ter which does not depend upon
the patronage of the community
for success. But it is vastly
different with the individual who
has to look to the community for
support. It would seem that a
mere selfish motive would cause
him to "patrOnize home indus
try He has everything to win
and nothing to lose by trading
with the people among whom he
lives and from whom he earns
his livelihood and it is to his in
terest to cultivate reciprocal re
lations with those people who are
in position to help him. And
aside from the material consider
alton, such a policy should APP
peal with peculiar force to all
fair minded people.
It is fact that the corpora
tions and the more pretentious
institutions do not, as a rule,
patronize local enterprise. These
seem to be inclined to trade
away from home. We know of
many instances where this in
clination to do business with the
larger centers was clearly ap-
parent. We do not refer to
these things in the hope of bring
ing about change but we do so
just to show that there are peo-
pie whose only interest in com
munity lies in what they can
make out of it.

The Teacher.

No lazy man or woman or one
who does not love to instruct has
any business in the school room
as teacher, says the Biblical
Recorder. The parents need to
know the teacher to whom they
are asked to entrust their
children, and the teacher must
be able to show himself worthy
of that trust. The teacher
should cultivate the most
friendly relations toward the
parents and children of the
district by visiting them in their
homes and inducing them to
visit the school. The parents
should be impressed with the
idea that the school is theirs,
being run by an expert manager
or teacher in their interest and
for the benefit of their children.
The teacher must dispel the idea
that the school is being taught
for the money there is in it and
it does not make any difference
how the time passes so he does
not teach too long and the
voucher is made out in good
order.
There is probaly no truth
whatever in the story that J.
Pierpont Morgan has made up
his mind to defeat Roosevelt $
nomination by the National Re-
publican Convention, failing in
which he will throw his support
to some sound Democrat of the
Cleveland sort. It is true, doubt
less, that Mr.. Morgan was dis
pleased with the position of the
President on the Northern Pa
cific merger, but he could hardly
hope to improve on Mr.. Roose-
velt if he really wishes to have a
President with the least violent
form of antitrust feeling. The
prosecution of the trusts would
be different sort of thing if Mr..
Cleveland were in the White
House, and for many reasons we
wish he were there.-Daily States.

2 heretofore felt Shipments of gold from this
| side were very small in January, but a free
movement secured the following month.
Low rates for sterling at Paris continued the
outgo OF gold in the triangular basis during
April but a sudden rise in money interrupted
these shipments. During September there were
large imports of gold from Australia. precip-
ftated by the poor wheat crop which necessitated
imports of grain from our Pacific coast. Early
marketing of the cotton crop produced a sharp
fall in exchange in October, exports of the
Southern staple exceeding the corresponding
month in previous years, and cotton bills were
freely offered in the exchange market. The pc
cuIiar condition prevailing may be shown clearly
by events in November when sight sterling here
was quoted 4S1A, and Paris exchange on Lon
don was down to % francs 12h centimes, yet no
metal was moved. Total shipments of gold from
this port were only about S29.OO0,0o0 during the
whole year, much less than in recent preceding
years.
SILVER BULLION.
The year 1901 was considered remarkable in
the extent of decline in price of silver bullion,
opening and closing quotations being about ten
cents apart. Yet another similarly perpendio-
ular drop was seen in 1902, making the loss in
two years 1714 cents.

most eventful. Wall Street did not witness the
volume of speculation that made 1901 memor-
able there any Of the violent up
heavals that marked the course of stock trading
in recent preceding years

From the producers point Of view the year
1902 was much more satisfactory thar any pre-
ceding year in the nations history.
MEATS AND DAIRY PRODUCTs
Prices of meats were considered high IN 1901.
the year 1902 carries the comparison back many
years further.
OTHER STAPLE PRODUCTS.
Other staple products had very erratic year
in many respects. Sugar continually dis

imports from Cuba Raw and refined were

receipts were not thrown upon the market some

tremely tame compared with the exciting |
events OF the previous year. when the January |
corner forced prices to 122. cents. OTening at |
