THE "FAlrn CURE" IN BUSINESS.

| Some time back. whsn syndicate was
! formed in New York to raise s50,000.oe0
| to be used TO prevent a money squeeze,
tho stock market steadied at once and
/ confidence took the place Of doubt and
] anxiety. Some of the stock traders
humorously remarked that the market
was saved by the faith cure The eX-
! preston sounds irrcveTent, and yet it
| correctly portrays the situation. Confi-
| 6enca is the basis of all credit and there
| fore of all prosperity. In the campaign
| OF 1886 money already scarce became
more so, because there was doubt on
every hand and men who had money
were scared into taking it out of the
channels of trade and putting it into
places of safety. 1t was contended that
the lack of confidence rather than the
Is ok of money was responsible for the
st!ingency in the money market and for
inc paralysis of business. It was con-
tended that with the fear of free silver
oct of the way, with the gold standard
established, confidence would return, and
with the return Of confidence money
would seek investment in the commercial
anG industrial world. This was ridiculed
by Mr. Bryan and others, but the predic-
tor was abundantly fulfilled. It is true
that the supply OF gold jpcreas ed, and
NC do not deny that this had q great dsal
to do witt, the return OF prosperity. But
the restoration of confidence was a. prime
necessity, and whsn confidence was es-
tablisned business began to pick up, and
b. and by there was such prosperity as
the country had never known.
We do not mean to rake up old issues
and to cr.ticise. We give the advocates
CT free silver full credit for their entire
sincerity, but it is well enough to keep
In mind the fact that there can be no SUBJ
stantial prosperity without public conf
dsnce, without confidence in public
credit without confidence in the stability
o. our institutions.
The men who raised that sum Of money
in New York to tide over that critical
period performed valuable public ser
vice, and while they had their own sell
fish purposes to serve, we may be chart
table enough to accord to them some
thing OF philanthropy. But whether so
or not. the service was none the less
beneficial, and it seems to have been all
that was necessary to meet the e1ner-
gency Prosperity continues, and thsre
true for some time to come. 1t is joy

LESSONS IN TEMPERANCE.

The New York Sun Is authority for the
statement that the practical operation
OF the statute requiring instruction in the
public schools on the nature and effect
of alcoholic drinks. ETC., has been much
questioned during the last two years on
the grounds that the teaching takes up
too much time, and that the school text
books on the subject are SO inaccurate
that they are harmful rather than bene
fetal to pupils. Accordingly the state
Science Teachers Association" recon-
1nends that the present law be modified.
Tho association attacks the text books
used in the instruction on the ground
that their teaching is in conflict with
the facts OF physiology as authoritative
~ taught in the universities and medical
schools.
We are not prepared to say whether
or not this is true, but the suggestion is
worthy Of consideration in all States, as
In Virginia, where temperance is taught
in the public schools. For our part, we
think tut we'll that lessons in temperance
and hygiene should be taught as to fnnda-
mental principles. At the same time the
school authorities ought to be quite sure
that the children are taught correctly
and scientifically. We have said as much
with respect to the teaching Ct history.
With other southerners we hare opposed
the use of histories In the public schools
which dealt with the civil war and its
causes from northern point of view.
We Of the South do not wish our children
to be taught that the civil war was On the
part Of the South, a rebellion that it
was unjustifable. that 1t was unconsti-
tutional. and especially do we protest
against having our children taught that
those who fought in the Confederate
Times took the ground long ago that par
tisan histories. even from the South's
point Of view. We're objectionable. We con-
tended that no partisan history should
be used. but that histories which gave
the exact facts should be taught in the
public schools. The South does not
shrink from the facts Shedesires that
her children shall have the exact truth
thoroughly impressed upon them. That
done, she has no rear Of the conclusions
which tho pupils will draw.
