' the power in government of education.
War is education, though battle is brutal.
in an army there-must be discipline and
tliai- of itself is an'educating, force. This
kind of education finds its effects in Eu
rope more than with us. The pi ooerty
producing classes are ill a ratio with the
spread of education. Europe wants itio_
uev fur war, and hence European govern
meets encourage the education of the lOW
er classes. The need of Europa is money ;
'her - governments-promote the education
of the masses to obtain it.
1
The &mond for education comes from i
the people themselves. 11l this process I
ideas, not, things, begin to express theM- T
selves. Reason is on the side of educa
tion. The climate Of this country is stim
ulating and craves .education. Shipmas
,
ters_ appreciate this characteristic of. our
climate : the spirits and stimulants which
are used on the other side of the water
are not to be used with the same impniii. i
ty here. Our climate burns up nerve
matter : it stimulates Mimi . . - Every man
in New England by a convention Of ideas
must take care of himself. Weakness and
shiftlessness are crimes in New England.
These ideas drive whole masses of people
'to enterprise. Men find themsehtes born
to do something. The whole• movement
of American society is fervid.—Baseness

political atmosphere is- likewise fervid.
Business and politics are the heritage lif

As commerce has grown, we have found f
gold and silver necessary representatives.
Paper is good so long,':is it represents gold

The best results of the greenback agi.,
tation is that thereby the. intelligence of
the people is increaSed.. When millions
begin to think they must think up:higher
and higher. Discussion and,agitation are.
the natural outlets of intelligence. Let
the people keep their months' open and
they will never blow up. Plow deep, be
patient, have confidence. It is for the in
terest of men to do what is right and what
is just, and they will come out right in
the• end. 'Great a g itations are necessary.
Science is playing its' part, and, in some
houses, making\ mischief. Everything has
got to go up higher : We ail- in the labor

There is no great interest in the land that
does not bow down to - the reign ,of the

exclusiveness to make a living. The war
wasa revolution 3 it touched human na

inspired. 'toms:HS did something for art
out of the war ; he has Made a fortune by
'his workit. The old masters are at a dis
count,; something in art that touches the
popularpulse is what is wanted. Aid is
coming down gradually in its needs. If
any man would be a servant among you
let him be your' slave ; . art is your slave.
Learning should be like the mother of Gott.
Look at the effects of the reign of the com
mon people ou the Professsions. That
which was the special to the professions—
the exclusive fitovince of a few, is now the
possession of the common people. Distri
