Although per oral sharp pnssaKOR nt arms somewhat en livened the tariff debate in the house, the brilliant speech of Mr. Dolllver of Iowa whs distinctly tho overshadowing feature of tho day. H shone out through the wenry, monotonous gloom which has so far pervaded the debate like a locomotive headlight in a fog. Mr. Dolllver Is a tin Ished orator, and his ppi ech was a lnnstr pioce of forensio eloquence. Hoplete with wit and glowing periods, It alternately aroused Ms Republican colleagues to un bounded enthusiasm and convulsed the housewith laughter. Mr. Dolliveris quick and adroit in the use of the foil, and the Democrats refrained from Interrupting him. Mr. MoLaurln, a Democratic member of the wars and means committee from fiouth Carolina, created a mild sensation by boldly proclaiming hlmrolf In favor of a duty on cotton, and lt was noticeable that when he repudiated the free raw ma terial doctrines of Clevoland and Carlisle "and those who had prostituted the name of Democracy' fully three fourths of tho Democrats on the Hour sustained him wlr?h hand and voioo.

By this menus n ca pable aud trustworthy youiifz man can obtain a few hundred dollars, at a mod erate rate of interest, with which to stock a farm which he has Jnst bonpht. Ho does not have to pay interest on a dollar more than he actually uses and ut anytime cau return any part of what is borrowed and stop interest on the part returned. Dunning Macleod, a great ait thority upon banking, says that this sys tem, introduced years ago, gave Scot tish agriculture n prodigious stimulus, while to it also he at tributes the mar velous development of manufactures and other industries in Scotland in the face of adverse natural conditions. Mac leod declares that the use of this form of credit has been niore helpful to Scot land that the richest gold or hilveriuiues would have been.. Tho Agriculturist then described the special benefits of the brauch banks of Scotland and Canada. Ten Scotch banks have 1,000 branches. Each little town where there is an agent of one of these ten banks has practically the same bank ing privileges as though tho headquar ters of tho bank were iu tho town, whereas the American town's facilities are confined to tho little bank located iu its midst, or, more likely, in a larger town, village or city 10 or 20 miles away, for it is often 00 und sometimes 1,00 miles from points iu the south aud west to the nearest bank. We quote the following from one of the more recent editorials iu Tho Agri culturist: "Tho agricultural credit bank de scribed in our previous article, or our owu very successful co-operative build ing aud loan association, might also es tablish branches or ageueles. Thus one society could have a representative iu every town or hamlet iu a county or group of counties, bringing its advnu tages home to depositors mid borrowers everywhere. Iu this way, even iu a sparsely settled farming country, a oo oiKTativo banking society could get enough business to be soundly success ful. The agricultural credit banks de scribed In the editorial referred to en nblo tho honest poor to co-operate iu other matters. Tho testimony of huu drcds of similar institutions in Europe shows beyond all questiou that these credit societies have 'encouraged co oiieratiou in all its forms, stimulated thrift and self help and improved the whole moral and material condition of their members. ' The need is certainly urgent for similar effort ut self help iu very muny farmiug communities in this country as well us amoug workers in other occupations. In these times, when the niargiu of profit is so close iu farm ing, as iu other business, it is all the more necessary for farmers to be able to conduct thoir affairs with tho utmost economy, for which purpose capital at reasonable rates of interest is an impera tive necessity, "Whatever opinions are entertained concerning the standard of values, there should be unanimity in au effort to per fect a sound plan of co-operative bank ing that will enable farmers to help themselves. How great this need is cau hardly be exaggerated. Taking the United States as a whole, we doubt it one-tenth of onr farmers use banks oi are withiu convenient reach of banking accommodation. Without it they cannot employ credit in the true sense. Vet niuH-tenths of the volume of business transacted by other people is done with credit instruments. But the average farmer is able to use only the credit of fered by the crossroads store, which 'milks' him to tho tune of 18 to 40 pel cent by taking his stuff in trade at foi below market price, charging big protttl ou what the farmer buys, and ou top of this exuenng exorbitaut interest "No legitimate business cau stand this sort of 'accommodation, ' certainly not agriculture. Theevil exists whothei prioes are high or low, currency plenty or scarce. The deeper one delves iutc this matter the plainer it appears that, whatever is done about monetary stand ards, better banking accommodations that is, better facilitiee- for tho use oi credit instruments, such as chocks, drafts, cto. are vital to the farmer's welfare. Nor cau he, need he or will he pay more for thej facilities than do those iu other, business. " ADOPTS THE GOLD STAND ARD. After Four Tear, of Inveatlsntlon Japan ltecltlee to DUcard eilver. On March 1 it was cabled from Yoko hama that Japan had decided to adopt the gold standard at a ratio of 3a1, to J, the new standard to go into operutiou iu October. This ai t, on top of many previous ones, moves Japnu completely out of the ranks of the semi-civilized and into those of civiliwxl and progivesive nations. It was not taken hastily, but after two years' consideration of au exhaustive re port made by the Japanese currency commisniou, appointed iu 18U3. This oommiMiiou found that, while certain capitali.sts, especially thofco em ploying ninny lalHirers, were benefited by the falling silver standard, the wage earners were injured from the fact that their wages cij uot rise as faitt aa did the priced of what they had to buy. The report pointed out what every rutiouul trader ought to kuow that a tilver standard country cat) trade and couijicte w ith gold stand ard countries ouly after paying tho Ions ou exchange in foreiyn trade.

WJNGURT, MANUI' ACTI'KER, PAYETT1IVILLK, r'RTJN. as the greater part of Japan s trade was with China aud India, tho two countries of Asia still using the silver standard, the disadvantage ou this account was not considered great. The silverites have lost with Japan some of their best capital. Of coin so they will tell ns how "British gold was used to bribe the government into betraying its people into the hands of the money power. They cannot, how ever, much longer tell us that we nre unable to compete with Japan because she uses the silver standard. The truth is that Japan got tired of being a second rate nation and of work ing with second rato tools, and, afler careful investigation, concluded lo g t rid of free coinage at ordinary ratios, which drives gold out of the country as fust as it cau be coined aud which re sults in tho single silver standard, aud to adopt the gold standard at a rutin with silver which will permit tho use of both metals in her trade. It is a wise step. Japan is ouly one of four or five nations which have adopted tho gold standard during the Inst 18 months. The Sonnd Money Propaganda. The decision of the silver meu to con tinue their fight for the B0 cent dollar, despite the emphatic verdict of tho peo ple in November, is appropriately fol lowed by the organization in New York of a sound money league, which is to bo national in its character and in the scope of its work. From this time on till tho next presidential electiou the dissemination of money facts aud cor rect views as to money is to be contin ued. The most eflicicut agency of the last campaign was the sound currency com mittee of the Now York Ileform club, and its publications, each given to some one phase of the currency ques tiou, were iuvaluuble to speakers aud writers. A sound basis for currency re form was thus laid in the minds of thou sands who were groping after the truth. These publications, it is stated, are to continue. An effort is to be made to widen the field of operations by a class of writings of a more popular character. In the south and west particularly hon est thinkers are to be supplied with ma terial for progressive thought toward sound conclusions ou the money qnes Hon. Much was done in six months of 1895 to uproot the erroneous ideas planted iu five years of populist agita tion. Errors had flourished simply bo cause they had not been confronted with fact. Now monetary truth is to be us systematically iuculcated as fallacy was, aud the result cannot but be most wholesome. Baltimore Sun. Bryan In the Eaat Mr. William Jeuuiugs Bryan is going about the country preuchiug tho same doctrine that he preached during the campaign iu which he figured as a nom inee for the presidency of the United States. Tho activity of the free silver forces is not to be winked at. They are good aud persistent fighters They re alize the fact that new men are entering into citizenship every year and that some of thein may be wou over to their side of the ourreucy question. They pro pose to hold the ground they have and to seoure more if they oau. The free sil e.r advocates should be met more thau half way in this fight that did not end with the victory wou by the' sound money forces last November. Trenton Gazette. Trampa Hold lp a Train.

In his proclamation Issued March 18th tho Governor gives some Inter esting facts concerning the benefits growiiu. out of tho observance of Arbor Days. He says : "The cus tom of annually fixing a tt.iy to bo celebrated as Arbor Day has spread into every section of tho country. The value of these celebrations has been abundantly manifest. In the State which claims tho honor of hav ing originated Arbor Day more than three hundred and fifty million trees were planted during tho first five years. School grounds havo lieen adornoe, the surroundings of tho home havo been beautified, public parks havo been multiplied and the landscapes and charming scenery of Pennsyl vania may yet be made still moro attractive, We aro rapidly passing from a destructive to a constructive policy. We have learned tho les son that trees and forests are essen tial to onr continnod prosperity and that ho who plants a tree, whether boy or man, is a publio benefactor." THE RECITATION.

In each recitation there aro a number of rules that should be followed, tho teacher nsing hia judgment in regard to introducing now features. Without this previ ous arrangement of his plan tho work is very apt to bo carried through in a haphazard manner, and but littlo is accomplished. The fol lowing are somo of tho important points, which it is positively wrong to neglect : 1. Review the preceding lesson. 2. Critical examination of tho regular lesson. 3. Hive each pupil a chanco. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. f i Avoid hobbios. Keep to the lesson. Let pupils do tho work. Do not talk too much. Moperj- Tomcfu. mg. 9. 10. 11. 11. f- rrPOT r Catechet ical.
