Sherman's views are substan tially in lino with those of .Mr. Dolph, while Mr. Kclley really tavois the Nnmc principal when he proposes to repeal the federal whiskey tax and remit, the iii'po'-ition and eollcction of whiskey taxes to the states. Win. M. GroMciior, In tho Xorlh American Review for January. 1887, impurcs "What would the surplus be worth to the people if left in their hands';"' Railroad capital uvcnic'es about I pm cent.: eapil:tl invested in farms docs not return 1 per cunt, to owners. ) The increase in all wealth from 1870 j to UV-'O was about i! 1-2 per cent, j yearly. From these fuels .Mr. (Jrus veiior argues (has the American people would be better oft to invest tho sur plus revenue in the industrial educa tion of the people through establish ment of technical trades schools like those supported by the municipal and state governments of continental Europe than to keep their money at !U-2 per cent . lie also argues that tlie remission of taxes would not do as much good as a wise u.-o of the money raised. The nation now pays about 100 ,000,000 yearly for the school?, at nn average cost of .?lo.fU per scholar, and the return would be far greater if every scholar were taught tho rudi menl.t of useful trades ami employ ments. Industrial training, Ures veuor arguoi-, Would give- each boy a cliiince to find out wlr.U faculties he lias, for what work he is best ftialfled, and thus lessen tho awful wiifde of power and loss of opportunity which conic from mistaken choice of work. Gronvcnor stales the simple truth when ho says that tho schools now send too many boys into trading, teaching or living by their wits, ln dustiial training would win a larger share- to productive labor, show how to put brains into it and make it more highly esteemed. Ho would provide industrial training for the girls, too; would instruct them in sewing and all household arts ami economies. It costs ihe French people l.'i cents per day lor food for each inhabitant ; costs our people fully jiti cents per day . A third of this difference, or ft cunts per day, is due to houseoold waste ami ignorance in cooking, (.irosvenor would expend Hit; surplus in providing industrial I raining free to all children, m additionto the public school syMum, and have it expended by the general government or stale or local boards. Thilr government and municipal trade schools have done wonders for the common people of continental F.urope. Our government has not hesitated to vote money in the shape ev; that at. least in hard times it would help to empty pool-houses and start the wheels of mnto industries. This philosophy of the collection and redis tribution of taxes, spending the sur plus, after necessary expenses are paid, in various ways, at! suggested by .Senator Dolph, is held by n good many able and thoughttul men both in F.urope and America. Oregonian, L-.YWM'Mg1CT.,arM A RETCRX TO FRA CTIOXAL CUllREXCY. The United States Postal Improve ment Association is tho name of an organization that has boon formed to promote the rc-issue of fractional cur rency, and also to secure a reduction in the postage on seeds and plants. Every planter now has to pay a tax of liie per pound on .eeds. bulbs and cions, and that is the poMagc on this class of mail matter. It is desired to have seeds and plants classed as third class mail matter, and subject to a rale of postage of one cent for each two ounces, or eight coins per pound. The rate in Canada is only four cents per pound. Any plan that will facilitate tho dissemination of plants and seed is for the universal good of the nation, and will be supported by nine-tenths of the population. Inci dentally it is desired to abolish tho present postal note system and substi tute therefor money orders for f?o or less at a charge of thine- cents. The value and importance of this great facility to Ihv tuail business of the counlry will bc generally recognized. We liearlilv endorse this movement to increase our postal facilities. We urge all of our readers lo immediately write lo their representatives in both branches of congress to give this mat ter their earnest and cordial support. Tho value of fhese personal letters to congressmen from their constituents cannot be over-estimated. If this is followed up by tho general circulation of petitions in behalf of thee measures Miecess will be assured. The nation al grange in session at Lansing, Mich., unanimously voted on Monday lo help this work for postal improve ment in every possible and legitimate way. Success i$ certain, it every one in favor or these ideas will tako hold in earnest . There is continually an increasing evidence thai the people desire tlie re issue of a fractional currency. At present a large majority of our citi zens are hindered in making remit tances in sums less than $1. very much lo their discomfort and di-satis-faciion. Hither postage stamps or postal notes must; be used. In most cases, distance from Ihe nearest money-order post-ollice renders it dillleult to secure the postal note, maintains that the treaty with the Ha waiian Islands was not n mere recip rocity treatv. but was in substance a .commercial contract, by virtue of 1 which Hawaii pays a valuable consid- oration for the admission of certain merchandise to the ports of the United ' Slates. Counsel for tho importer .av that if the United Slates should be 'defeated in this case, San Domingo might be come the Honolulu of the Atlantic coast, while if Ihe United States should succeed, Denmark. lra.il. Central America, Peru, Persia and other foreign governments would bc at liberty lo shut out other manufac turers and products from their ports, without giving ns ativ cause for com plaint , for violation of existing treat ies, pledging Ihe United States an c qnality there wilh all other nations. This, they say, would upset nearly all our existing commercial treaties with foreign powers. Astorian. COM I JO TO SETTLEMENT. There is due to the state of Oregon from the general government a sum of money , now stated at ?;.G'J,4fl, prin cipal and interest, for services render ed dining the first year of the war of tho rebellion. The claim upon this accouui has been hanging lire in the War Depart mejit for years, and doubtless would have kept on hang ing there till '"the crack of doom." had not Governor I'ennoycr, on his recent vi-jt to the National Capitol, given the initterhis personal atten tion. He found out whern tho claims were lying. They were in the War Department whereas they should have been placed in the Treasury Depart ment for auditing. They were fol lowed up and kept before the minds of the Department until it now seems there is a prospect for the speedy ad justment of the matter, so long de layed. A recent communication from the Treasury Department to Governor I'ennoycr informs him that ''the claim will be taken up and adjusted during the present sos-ion of Congress in time for an appropriation for its payment should a balance be found due the Slate." It is said to bo tho intention of the Governor, in case an appropriation is made, to recommend to tho next Legislature that it bc expended in building a portage road between Tho Dalles and Celilo, by the State. Do can arrange il so as lo make it a god send for Kastern Oregon, and at the same lime do no injury to the balance of the State. If he can do so, so much more to his credit, and thanks lo the careful and zealous efforts of Governor I'ennoycr on behalf of this com mon wealth. Ex. iirt.'iii,i:.v'S .i:n:ca sai.vi:.
