This was the condition of allairs on the 1st day of Januaay, 17', which had !eeu fixed tlp:in four years lie fore as the d.ite for i-ntcrin- upon the n-leinption and retirement of all these notes, and for which such abundant means had leen provided. The Government was put in the am malotH situation of owin to the hold ers of its notes debts payable in jjold on demand, which could neither I retir ed by receiving such notes in di-sciinrjre of obligations due the Government, nor cancelled by actual payment in gold. It was forced to redeem without redemption, and to pay without ac quittance.

I a gold find iLemed KUiVn-ient to meet the demands which might Ik? made uon it for the redemp tion of the outstanding I'nitcd Stati-s notes. This fund, together with such other gold its might lx from time to time in the Treasury available for the tame purpo-e, has since been called our gold reserve, ami ?i Xi.imtl.tXi;) has bet n re garded as an adequate amount to ac complish its object. This fund amounted on the 1st day of January, lS7d, toll J,l;,V,;,,i H1 though there after constantly lluctuating, it ditl not fail below that sum in July, lM'i In April, 1st it, for the first time since its establishment, the reserve amount ed to less than l(),ri ),(, containing at that date only $'J7,Ul l,.t-t ).

These obligations are the in-truinents whi'-h, ever since we have had a gold reserve, have ln-eii used to deplete it. Tills resi-rw, lis has been stated, had fallen iu April, ls:i.t, to ?:7,0l!,.r.. It has, from that time to the pre.-ci.t, with very few and unimportant ujs ward mi-vemenis, steadily de-rea.-sl, except as it has ln-cn tenqvirarily re-iletii-lied by the sale of bonds. Among the causts for this constant and uniform shrinkage in this fund may be mentioned the great failing oil of exports under the operation of the Tariil law until recently iu force, which crippled our exchange of om md:tics with fn ign nations and nee. s-:tat.sl to some extent the juy meut of ov.r balances in pI.l, the un natural infusion of silver into our ctir reney, and the increasing agitation for its free an-1 unlimited c linag.', which 1 ... . ,.i ..j .. ,if ":tl ' '.0-0 uo . .....s..... ..... d.-j.o-it:te.i or aiiitity 10 continue g"ii juymeiKs, the h -.arding at home and stoppage ol investments 01 loivign capital, as w ell as the return of our se c lrilies iilr.'iitly sold abr;iad; and the liiii r-.te of ft r-'igu exchange, which induced the shij.uicnt of our gold to lie drawn ag.iin-t, as a matter of sjiecula liou. Iu coTiseqiR-nee of tluse conditions, tiie gold reserve on the 1st day of Feb ruary, 1.I, wasnluccd to ? ji,4:.s,:'.77, having lo.t more than s'1,01 ,'! oar ing th.' jireccding nine months, or since Aj.ril, lsit. Its rej'lcnishmeiit luing lut-cssary, and no other manner of accomplishing it U-ing jvis-ible, res..rt was had to the issue and sale of Ismtls provided for by the Hestiiiijiiion A'-t of ls-'i. I'iUy millions of these bonds were sold, yielding -$-", 71, which was aiidtsl to the reserve fund of gold then on hand. As a result of this ojK'ration, thi reserve, which had suffered con stant and large withdrawals in the meantime, stood, on the fith-day of March, Is !, at the sum of 137,4I i,s )i Its dejiletioii was, lmwever, iniiiiedi ately thereafter so acceleratt.il that on the :h day of June, 1S.4, it had fallen to f;i,s7:.,0i-, thus losing by withdraw als more than $42,IK).,(K in five months, and drojijiing slightly U.dow its situa tion when the sale of "n ,!. ,IKK in binds was effected f.ir its rejileliish meitt. This dejiresse.1 condition grew worse, and on the :Mth day of Novein-b.-r, l'st4, our g'lld n-serve was reduced to 17 V''.",7i'L The Pr-sident gives a lmg history of the financial diMieulties from his standfiiiit, and then recoiiiiiiends : In other words, the Government has - . . r r- jiuid in gold more than nine-tenths of its United States notes, and still owes them all. It has paid in g'lld about one-half of its notes given for silver purchases, without extinguishing by such payment one dollar of these notes. When added to this, we are reminded that to carry on this astounding fman- 1 cial scheme, the Government lias iu- erald eurred a Ixinded indebtedness of $io, 5;i0,0n0 in establishing a gdtl n-serve, and of $li'.2,31,4iX) in efTorts to main tain it; that the annual interest charge on such liondcd indebtedness is more than Il,no,i,(o'(; that a continuance iu our present course may result in fur ther bond issues, nnd that we have suf fered, or are threatened with, all this for the sake of supplying goltl for for eign shipment or facilitating iU hoard ing at home, a situation is exhibited which certainly ought to arrest atten tion and provoke immediate legislative relief. I am convinced the only thorough and practicable remedy for our troubles is found in the retirement and cancellation of our United States notes, commonly called greenbacks, and the outstanding Treasury nobs issued by the Government in payment of silver purchases under th-1 Act of ls:l. The President here talks of restric tions on National Hanks, and says : Any inconvenience or embarras.s inent arising from these restrictions on the loeat ion of National Hanks might well le remedied by better adapting the prest-nt system to the creation of Hanks in smaller communities, or by permitting Hanks of large capital to t-stahiish Hanks in such localities as would serve the jjcople so n-gulattd and restrained Us to secure their safe and conservative control and manage ment. The President continues on to the extent of about fifteen columns, but we must stop with this paragraph on cheap money: The past is full of lessons, teaching not only the economic dangers, but the ttio:ial immorality that follow in the train of such experiments. I will not U-lieve that the American people can lie persuaded after solier deliliera- tion to jeopardize their Nation's j prestige and proud standing by encour aging financial nostrums, nor that they will yield to the false allurement of cheap money, when they realize that it must result in the weakening of 1 that f.naucial integrity and rectitude i which thus far in our history litis U-eii ! so devotedly cherished as one of the ' traits of true Americani-m.

Hxsy work has tiie aim in view of keeping a child profitably and inter estedly employed. If it does not do this it would be bitter for the child to be at home in tire yar 1 following its own inclinations. The object: To supply p ipils with employment; to occupy head and hands; to lea l p ipils to be inventive; to furnish pjpils with nnteri i! for thought; to lead pupils to observe closely; to develop the child's p iwers of expressing his thoughts. Stick laying, clay 111 I.-Ii:igan 1 san i moulding have a d .'tiuite en 1 in view; they are tlie means of drawing the hand into the work of getting and ex pressing thought.

In assigning the work for the chil dren the teaohvr constantly repeats the s line advice as to neatness, carefulness, etc. What objection could bo brought against that?

We must not expect to bring forth miracles from the seat work, but ought we not aid to make it a well as class work aid in giving the children both movement and right direction? Are we agreed, teaeheis, that there is a great need for jirimary work first stejis iu the? formation of working habits, as in reading or numbers, an 1 that instead of mere busy work our seat i'liij'5'oymeiits shall aim to meet this need? We will try to realize what aa ac- co.njIishm-iit it must be for our little j p,,,!tf ,.Veii to busy themselves for ten, ! fiX.vn or twenty initiates, in awird- anee with given directions.

Ability to work out directions, for one thing: orderly habit for another; neatness in use of material as to soiling, scattering and destroying; a skillful use of the fingers that the work may Ik? well done and not destroyed at th-2 last by a hasty or clumsy touch; power to dis tinguish differences of color, shaj2, si.'.e and number; the formation of f g.KiJ ideals of work, ami by and by some rejiroduetion of work done in the class. The children shall ia or, not be told, that the teacher is interested in what they are doing, and shall never work with the feeling that she i bat a taskmaster standing ready to assign more work the moment thi L eom jileted, neither sha! I there lie the feel ing that the work i uuimjiortant. I lasuits shall lie examined and effort recognized. Were your sympathies never drawn to the child who has ja tiently wrought only to have his work hurriedly gathered into a pile, that it may be ready f it collection? Did you notice the earnest glance as the un willing hand slowly destroyed the ilv- sign w hich reitiireil so much care and patience in the construction? Criticism of results shall be ujion the base of truth as well as appearance. I have iu mind a careless littlw fellow who had hastily laid his gs without attempting to fit his rrmnds to the siib.-s of the ladder. In iflancing at his woik as I ass'd, I said, I do not like your ladder, the rounds wculd fall out as -soon as tone bed by the feet. Can't you make a ladder that rotild Is us-d iii safety.' The child hnd not thongbt of that, il svmi il. I le at on.-e U gan to work w ith a will; w hen next I jiasMsl, a bright fine was turnetl iqi as the ques tion came. "Would you dare to stand on that lailder? just see, every one of them touches the aides." All direction should Le simple, def inite and thoroughly uudcr-tood 1 fore any attempt is made tn work them out iu materials. Of course, copying will at limes !e the work assigned, and there will lie periods w hen the chil dren are allowed to use the given ma terials in accordance with their own choice. The children will willingly do an immense amount of drudgery if skil fully seasoned with the salt of "make believe," and in teaching sj-lling or language I have often taken advantage of the fact. It is always fun for the little jus.jile to "jilay set the table," and when our work bench is brought to the front, and covered with a cloth all are de lighted. They at once It-gin to "make U-Iieve" wash their hands, jiut 011 their white aprons and prejiare to set the table. Tlie child standing near the table calls on one of her classmate to bring the she quickly sjm-IIs "knives." To another one she says you may bring the she seems to catch the idea and sjxdls "forks" and so on. Then all the children "make Ulieve" bring their favorite dishes, sauce etc., which they have neatly written on litlle slijis of jiajH-r, always j.rovid.-d they can sjm-11 the names. As their favorite dishes are brought they are written oil the board. Then for bu-y work they eojy them on their slates, and mark all known sounds. Then of course they want to invite their friends to their "mike lielieve" liiuner, and an invita tion having U-c-n written on the lioard, they "are asked to m-ike one or more exact cojies of it. The next day they write a short story aliout our "make Ijelieve" dinner, telling what we bad for dinner etc., and what else we coui I have bad. Give children cards an I leav.-s, also pencils ; let them draw the outline of t'.ie leaf up n the card then jirick it and then sew, with bright col ored twist, the outline of the leaf. At anotlit r time the teacher may draw de signs on J' H r and have puj.ils j.riek hole in the ia;cr. following the line yoa have drawn; givo them bright col ored worsted and blunt needles and let them sew i 1 an 1 o it thro ig'i tlie holes so as to cover th ? lines. When doue neither t!r; j-n..-il m irks nor the hoi. show. Sketch npidly upon the board a numljer of object-, as chairs tables, U-ds, j.atis blis, birds animals etc., and have jv-.j.ils e.qy, writing tho name of each object by the jicture as neatly as p .s-ible.
