Now and then is heard a wailmuch tnWaHs his education, dis-
demanding the removal of he;COver a sentiment to gain a com
tanff from certain articles. Jt is !petency without work, or assist
a noceworcny race tnac tnose wno :
aretnemososuenuous m cnese;to
cemanas are louna among ine;a iivelihood without following the
manufacturing class. 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. ,
