CONGRESSMAN FOWLER'S TALK

EContinued from second page.
common defense shd general welfare of
the United States
The very first act passed by these
men, who had been the controlling in
duences in creating the constitution in
pursuance OF the purpose of the franz
ers of the constitution after providing
for the manner of taking the oath of
office, was great protective tariff
measure which was prefaced with
these words:
Where it is necessary for the support of
the government, the discharge of the
debts Of the United States and the en-
enlargement and protection of manufac-
lures that duties he laid upon goods
wares and merchandise imported: now
therefore, be it enacted etc
1t is a matter worthy of note that,
as if glOrying in this act of industrial
freedom Washington signed it on the
18th day of July, 1889.

School Problems.
Taking Books Home .
COMMUNICATED

| should like to ask the citizen"
who is so interested in the number
of books the pupils bring home, how
many years it has been since he went
to school. | think it would be well
for us all to remember that things
change throughout the years. Ma
ture changes everything changes.
Because doctors at one time could
not operate for appendicitis is. no
saying they should not do it now,
is it
When new and better methods and
ways are discovered, why not use
them Surely we people of to-day
do not think as the ancient Chinese
did-that children should be taught
as their parents, grandparents and
all their ancestors were taught
If one enters the school room to-
day, he finds that the child studies
in the school room and the studying
he does here with his teacher is
worth more, think, than that which
he would and used to do at home.
The Aldine method of teaching
reading, though new, is very good
and, although we were not taught
in this way when we went to school,
it is being introduced and practiced
successfully in the up-to-date schools
of to-day.
The school room to-day has a
cheerful, happy, atmosphere and the
children love to go to school. The
teacher used to govern with rod
to-day the children are given more
freedom. They are not made to
work mechanically, but are allowed
to grow up naturally. By this |
mean they are no longer brought up
artifcally; that is by learning what
is in the text book and reciting it,
but they are brought up according
to nature their instincts, that God
gives them, are cultivated-th
learn through their own observation
of things. They learn to do by do
ing. The children remember things
they learn in this way and it is sure
ly a much better means of teaching
them, even though we were not
taught in the same manner.
AS the years go by, still other inn
provements will be made in the edu-
cation of children and the children
of to-day will be able to say-That
was never done in my day." Let us
hope they will NOT condemn it for
this reason, but, will rather be re-
ioiced that such improvements are
made for the benefit of their chill
dren. Y. u. 1.

Conclusion.

SoUCtuSton
Darkest midnight reigns over this
great and goodly land. We catch a
glimpse now and then of Pickering
light, but it is only a reflection of the
CHASTITY flashes of the deadly war be-
yOnd the sea.
Government by reason, enlightened
and sanctioned by congress, has been
ended and government by edict rules
US all. Representatives and senators
alike blindly and slavishly bend their
necks to the ruthless heel of King
Caucus, which records with regularity
the will of the king.
The people, the whole people, Demo
Gratis as well as Republicans. waiting
impatiently count the months-aye,
even the very days-when this tragedy
in the life of this nation, this travesty
on Republican form of government,
shall end.
Great and glorious things to be
achieved await and beckon US. The
work to be done has been made dou-
bly, difficult by the conditions born of
tyranny and corruption.
Let 'us"-to me Accomplishment o.
the great task we are to do look for
inspiration and guidance to the immor-
tai spirit of Abraham Lincoln.
Let us believe that from his home
beyond the stars Abraham Lincoln is
watching over his people in their af-
fiction and awaits with infinite pa
tience, but wistfully, the progress of
his mission on this planet.
Let us feel that when we lift the
curtain of this night with the welcome
rays of opportunity, and the sunlight
of hope and aspiration bursts upon US,
Abraham Lincoln, too, will smile upon
the glorious day.
Let us know that when within the
realm of this Union, which he saved,
man has at last been made free to be
himself in the highest and noblest
sense, we shall receive the sacred ben
ediction of the sainted sou of Abra-
ham Lincoln, because through him,
and him alone, we have attained our
true nationality.

They know the American people are now
taking notice in a way in which they
never took notice before, and gentlemen
who talk one way and vote another are
going to be retired to very quiet and pri-
vate retreats.
The American people will recall that
Mr.. Wilson, contrary to his pledge, has
compelled American coastwise ships
to pay tolls when passing through the
canal They will remember that he
promised to reduce the high cost of
living and failed; that he promised to
protect the civil service, but that he
has done practically everything in his
power to destroy it; that he promised
to lower appropriations, but that he
has increased them nearly 100000
GEO year: that he promised to reduce
taxes. but has increased them in al
most every possible way; that he prom
ised not to be a candidate and is one;
that the Wilson Underwood tariff bill
his bank act should never have been
passed; that his Clayton bill should
never have been passed; that his ship
purchase bill should never have been
thought of, especially under the most
extraordinary conditions existing to-
day, and they will say to him:
You have done those things which you
ought not to have done, and you have
left undone those things which you ought
to have done. and there is no good left
in you.
ID lie, 81 Iph oa
ems which look down upon his glutton-
Gus and putrid feast of public offices
they will hang in letters of living fire
the single word that decorated the
walls of BelshaZzars feast, 'Tekef' in
the north, "Tekel' in the south, "Te-
Thou art weighed in the balances
and art found wanting"
The Republican party will return to
power and it is one of the most re-
markable facts of all history that il
will be called upon to do precisely the
same great fundamental, constructive
work that our forefathers had to dc
in 1889 and for identically the same
reasons. But it will have to be work
ed out again and applied to the condi-
tons of today after 125 years of ma
tional existence under the constitution
The Republican president will imme
diately call congress together to pass
a protective tariff measure precisely as
Washington did in 1889. to establish
an American merchant marine us
Washington did in 1889 and to organize
an American banking system as Wash
ington did in 1871.
And that congress should not ad
journ until this great work is achieved
because this government today needs
above all else a complete economic
system that will make it not only pos
sible, but certain, that we shall do oul
own work. Let our shibboleth the1
be American markets for American
workingmen:" let our password t
American markets be Made in Amer
ica'' Let our merchant marine again
cover the seven seas. Let our ship
