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,

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.
