Several students will go up to Topeka this afternoon to visit the legislature.
Jus. Bowersock read a paper at the meeting of the Greek Symposium Wednesday.
The Music Concert company will not be able to fill its engagement to-morrow night.
Later indications seem to say that Prof. Hickey is well liked by the students, especially a few of the ladies.
Prof. Miller's class in practical astronomy is enjoying a treat. Instead of reviewing the book which has just been finished, the professor is giving lectures on the Moon, Sun and Stellor System, illustrated by views.
Prof. Hickey gave an interesting talk to the students lately concerning the University exhibit at Chicago this year.
L. Q. Hardesty, E. C. Little's law partner, produced the requisite papers rom Mr. Little appointing him as his deputy for county attorney during Mr. Little's probable short stay in Egypt. L. Q. Hardesty is an able lawyer.
ABOUT THE CONTEST.
The judges on delivery and on thought and composition for the contest on the evening of the 27th have been chosen. They are, on delivery:
Rev. Ayers.
Meserve.
Judge Horton.
On thought and composition
Woodward.
Russell.
S. M. Riggs.
The orators are well pleased with the judges, and they have reasons to be. No better class or set of men could have been selected, and unquestionably their decisions will be fair if ability can be a fair judge.
The orators will speak in the following order:
Lutz.
MacKinnon.
Lutz evidently has a claim on first place, as he spoke first last year.
Lease.
Bennett.
Riddle.
Cook.
The committee is making strenuous efforts to make the coming contest entertaining so far as it is in their power. The best of music will be hired for the occasion. More interest is being manifested by the student body as the evening of the contest approaches.
The next issue of the Courier will contain full accounts of the contest and results.
A larger crowd is expected to be in attendance than last year, which is saying a great deal.
HITORICAL SEMINARY.
Judge Humphrey delivered a very interesting lecture last Friday afternoon before the Historical Seminary, on the relations of political economy to the questions of the day.
The silver question and the question of the tariff were discussed from the point of each of the political parties. As for protection, the democratic platform denounces republican protection as a fraud. The federal government has no power to impose or collect taxes except for the purpose of revenue. The republican platform reaffirms the doctrine of protection, and attributes to it the prosperity of the country. Witness the difference in wages abroad and at home. The prohibition party believes in a retaliatory tariff.
Taking up the question of currency, the Judge said; "The intrinsic and exchangable value of the dollar is dependant on the market value of gold and silver. Opposed to this is the belief that the government determines the value—an old superstition that still dominates the minds of many persons, for which there is no reason. All exchanging values are the product of labor; they are determined by the cost of production. If the purchasing power of the metals diminishes, mining in the least, productive mines will stop. If, on the other hand, the supply decreases, prices rise, and thus an equality is maintained.
The effect of legislation in Europe and the United States regarding silver has been to produce a slight decline in the market price of silver; but the decline is mainly due to the too rapid production of silver and the decline in the exchangeable value.
The purpose and effect of the tariff is to restrict foreign trade. Domestic products are paid for in foreign commodities. The prices of products at home depend upon the market abroad. By thus striking down the prosperity of the farmer at home, you strike a blow at every laborer in the country. England has made
The principal of the tariff is that a tariff is necessary to pay the difference between wages at home and abroad. This is not true. Wages have advanced fifty per cent, since the adoption of free trade. Wages are least in those countries where protection is highest. The ultimate effect of tariff duties is to a decline in the wages of the working classes. Wages are determined by the stress of competition. Whatever will relieve competition in the labor market will tend to raise wages.
greater political and material progress within the last hundred years than in the two hundred years preceding.
Government cannot discriminate in favor of any one class at the expense of another.
It is an injurious idea that prevails in the minds of the people that the Government can regulate the prosperity or adversity of a nation. Government must rely upon the principles of political economy.
DON'T SNEER.
We pray you not to get into a habit of sneering. You may indulge this tendency until it utterly destroys the spirit of Christian gentleness and kindness in your hearts. Your neighbors are full of faults, to be sure; Your fellow-Christians fail to come up to the standard of their professions, it is true. But are these good reasons why you should become sour, censorious and malignant? What about yourself? Are you perfect? Suppose that God should judge you as rigorously as you judge other people? In that event where would you stand? Be forbearing; be magnanimous; be Christ-like. Remember that it is not easy to reach the highest levels of conduct, and do not expect of others what you fail to do in your life.—Nashville Advocate.
