THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

send the boy to him at this juncture. Investiga-
ton showed that this boys brother also deaf, after
graduating from this institution, far from having
trade and being able to his living through it
among hearing people, was merely digger, and
since then has been heard of as fireman. The boys
father dead and the mother could not read and
his ignorant family easily persuaded to send him
to institution for four years, when he ready
to his living in the hearing world and of age
when he should do it.
There is no doubt whatever that if every deaf
child had exactly the same chance as every hearing
child to learn speech and language in infancy, that
gradually these intermarriages of the congen-
tal deaf with their appalling results would cease,
that the expense of their education would be gradu
ally diminished and their happiness corresponding
ly increased Twice lately two of girls who
learned speech here in their early youth asked
why in the world people thought it wonderful
to hear them talk They both said they got tired of
seeing people say that Speech is natural to them
as it is to all human beings, unless they pre-
vented from acquiring it at the proper time and ex
pected to learn it at unnatural age, at the
time being surrounded with the signs used almost
universally in all the large institutions, whether they
taught speech in the school-rooms not. Last
week the parents of little girl living in Kentucky
came to see me IN regard TO their child. lney mad
seen one of our children who had been pay pupil
here from that State, and who is attending a
school for the hearing in Kentucky Unlike the
other one, she not congenitally deaf, but had
lost her hearing from scarlet fever and dphtheria.
The parents had wisely kept up her speech, that
at the age of six she still talks. They complained
that two doors from their home a graduate of a
State combined school lived, who continually used
signs and they feared the influence on their child.
Although young she is, she dislkes them and they
annoy her.
This the trend of events in all these cases. Child
rem who have had the fair opportunity become mis-
sonaries for the salvation of their kind, while child
rem who have been unnatural1y treated a menace
to them.
Within few days reports have come to us from
three of our children in different schools for the
hearing One of them is number in class of 101
He will graduate this year and he has himself
secured position in a newspaper office where he
will learn printing.
Another is number II in class of go
Another number in class of eleven Her
father told the other day that great his pleas
ure is in having her interested in her studies and
doing so WE'LL his pleasure in seeing her happy and
with hearing girls is far greater.
Each year increases the knowledge of what these
children are capable, but that the mass of the deaf
nay be rescued from the unnatural education which
las been theirs, something should be done in each
state to prevent any further neglect of the golden op
,ortuntes of infancy and early childhood for all of

Denver Markets.
DENVER UNION Stock VAR,

DENVER UNION OTOCk I ARDS,
April 3-Market conditions were
bad last week at all points and
prices considerably lower than
the preceding week. The decline
here ranged from % to 35 cents
on fat stuff and from 10 to 20
cents on feeders. Packers claim
the consumptive demand for
meats, owing to the recent sharp
advance in prices as well as the
fact that last week was Holy
week when a great many people
abstain from eating meat, has
fallen off very materially of late,
and for this reason they have
been very much on the bear side
of the market. There was MOTTO
able improvement towards the
end of the week with today's
market about dime higher and
dealers look for still further i'm
provement during the week.
Steers sold mostly at $500 to
SIS. rs late in the week with one
bunch of good ones at SIS. 80 and
some fancy experiment stuff
from the Colorado Agricultural
College at S6.O5. Choice cows
sold at $3.50 on Monday but
later not many got above S4.65
and bulk Of good killers sold at
S4.O0 to $40. Feeders and
stockers were scarce all week.
Prices dropped Is to 25 cents
early in the week but later there
was some improvement though
the market is still lower than a
week ago. Choice dehorned
Utah and Wyoming steers
brought $5.2 freight paid and
most of the good feeders and
stockers ranged from this down
to $500 Today's supply of cat
tie was 2, 200 head.
Hog supply was heavy and de-
mand very good. Prices declined
early in the week but some of
the loss has been regained, bulk
now selling at SIS. 57a to S5.65.
Sheep demand was good last
week. Prices are 25 to 35 cents
lower on lambs and quarter
lower On sheep, but despite
these declines values here are
higher than at eastern points.
Lambs sold at $500 to $40,
Ewes at 500 and short wethers
at SIS. rs.

Tariff tinkering is clamored
for by some-particularly by
Democrats-but by many it is
looked upon as dangerous. If
there is one thing that should be
let alone while operating sue
.cessfully, it certainly is the tar
iff. During the past twenty
years the country has sampled
tariff for revenue only" and
protective tariff, such as has
been in force for the past twelve
years. Under one the country
experienced crushing, perpetual
panic. Under the other it quick
ly rallied from panic to prosper
ity, and that prosperity, in so
far as the tariff is concerned has
lasted through all those twelve
years and is as much in evidence
today as it has been at any time.
During Cleveland's administra-
ton the balance of trade was
against us. Our nation had no
prosperity at home nor business
abroad. Instead, an army of
American workmen were march
ing across the country headed
for Washington, demanding
work or bread. This happened
in the most resourceful nation in
the world. And what did the
change bring about? Worlds of
work, a big foreign balance of
trade in our favor. The highest
prices ever known for every
thing the farmer and stockman
raised. In short time the men
who had been groaning under
burdens of debt were carrying
bank books. Labor of all kinds
was in demand, greater than the
supply, and the highest prices
ever known were paid to it. The
American farmer has been
raised from the pauper to the
wealthy class. And the balance
of foreign trade today is larger
in our favor than ever before.
These are some of the results.
Are they satisfactory? Does
there seem a crying need of
tariff reform?" There are two
things that are palmer than any
thing else: Success and failure,
and they mean exactly the oppo-
site. Educated politicians claim
the tariff question is one of in
tricate diplomacy and the COM
mon people don't know enough
about it either to understand it
or discuss it. We, the common
people, don't need to know all
it's technicalities or intricicies.
We do know of it's results. Like
the old farmer in the restaurant
who couldn't make head nor tail
of the French bill of fare:
Bring me a beefsteak, " he
said, and l will translate it in
my own way" Most of us can
''savey" beefsteak when we
are hungry.
