Often the the usuai industries in private larmer taxes up wrcn cms iaea , he also demands the removal or the tariff, The farmer produces a vast amount-nearly!! in fact-of tne raw material mat is useu m the manufactories. The remov al of the tariff is not to be con templated; to revise it in some resoects may be wise, but it is a very fine-dra n matter and makes strenuous demands on the state smanship of our, greatest minds A. removal' of the tariff would not effect the manufacturer so much as it would those who de pend upon factories for a liveli hood. The manufacturer could, by cutting down the wage scale, shield himself to some extent from the damage which might result from a removal or revision of the tariff. But this would result in the ruination of factory employes and the farmers would be among the first to be affected. There are six million farms in ' this country and it is not wise to forget them and their" posessors. If we are not. willing to accept a lower standard of living it is folly tp entertain the idea that a removal of the tariff is what is most desirable. No nation on earth can boast a laboring, class who live so well as do the citi zens of the United States, taken as a whole. - If we aim at the! ' men who operate large manufac tories and miss the mark, or make a mistake, the farming class is certain to be among the first to suffer. . In some perhaps' many instances factory owners are oppressive in tneir modes, out a thoughtful person' will not advo cate the inauguration of a condi on that will tend to cripple them in the pursiut of a ' legitimate business. These men are the last to suffer here, bear in mind, the common people come first, V .With our standard of living so high as it is, we dare not incur the- risk attending a change in our systen of tariffs which might reduce the standards of, living of our producing classes. The aver age person is not desirous of hav - ing his products brought into competition with those of a cheap labor country, nor does he de sire to toil for such a pittance as is paid the wage earners of some countries : " PREPARED 70 LEAR. N The school system of Oregon is improving rapidly. Good wjrk is being done in nearly all schools in the state. The contrary is the rare exception. The large ma jority of the people are anxious for better school "work. To know at all times what is best to recom mend in every respect, in order to produce the best results for the ultimate good of the student, is a difficult and . doubtful ques tion. ' In the early -history of this country and down to recent years 'a great many men and women were compelled not only to work hard'mentally to gain an educa tion, but they were required to ' put forth extraordinary physical exertion to" earn the means to N clothe and feed themselves while lattending school. In those days theTjest schools were long dis tances apart, making it difficult to enjoy the privilege of attend ; ing them The extraordinary ex ertion required in order to secure these privileges made men intel lectually, and physically strong. .-, The tendency of late years to locate high schools near every! man's door te growing rapidly, thus t reducing the exertion, of the student in acquiring an education-' This no doubt enables many to finish school work at' an earlier time in- life, but will " the i result show as many intellectual ity strong, able and self-reliant imen. and women? Or will the student, after having . been de- rwmrlpTif-. nn ' t.h stoir.A tn (in sn m bringing about legislation : to create offices, which will -give busines3 ? Students should be in structed during their - years . at school that when they , graduate they have simply acquired a good foundation upon which they , can build a more -- complete and thorough education if they would continue in studious, energetic and honorable habits of industry- WASHINGTON'S WISDOM. George Washington, in his fare well address, delivered in Sep tember, 1796, makes the follow ing! reference to reciprocity, its favors and preferences, between this and other nations: : , "Harmony and liberal inter course with all. nations are rec ommended by policy, humanity and interest. - But even our com mercial policy should noia an equal and impartial hand; neither asking nor granting exclusive favors or preferences, consulting the natural course" of things; dif fusing and diversifying, by gen tle means, the streams of com merce, but forcing nothing." . "Neither seeking nor granting exclusive? avors or preferences',' herein lies the wisdom of it all, By not seeking preterences we may avoid snares whereby we would become beholden to any foreign power in any matter whatsoever. By a'refusalto grant, indiscriminately, exclusive favors we are enabled to hold control over international affairs and- avoid distressing complications. In other words, by adhering to this principle we retain the privilege of doingonly that which pleases us and is best for our own inter ests. Reciprociy in its common ly understood sense j not a de sirable thing for us. , Illustrated Concert.
