41HIGHER

GROUND.?

A book with the above title, by Augustus Jacobson, from the press of A. C. McClurg fc Co., Chicago, baa attracted much favorable comment, because of its scholarly tone, earnest purpose and liberality of thought. The author believes the solution of our industrial troubles will be found in the manual training schools. The first step towards the improvement of the condition of our mnnual workers must be 4he increasing of their intelligence, skill and quality of work. This means, of course, a better education than the thousands of poor children, whose work is required for the support of the family, are able to get under the present system. The schools may be free but if the children can earn money that fis needed for the home they are kept out of school to work.

Mr. Jacobson's remedy is that the manual training school be made a part of the public school system, as it is now in several large cities, and to enable all children to receive its benefits, that parents bo paid for keeping their children at school through the entire course, beginning at the twelfth and continuing to the twentieth year, the allowance being graded from $50 for the 12th to $300 lor the 20th

year—the

idea being to make

the allowance correspond to about what the child would be able to earn if at work. Thus the parent could have his children in sohool and at the same time receive as much pecuniary help from thorn as if they were at work.

Such a system would entail an enormous expense, which would be provided for by a special tax on estates, graduated from

pc cent, on all estates under

$2,000 up to 1 per cent, on $100,000 and 50 per cent, on estates of $5,000,000 and upwards. There would be those who would cry out that such a tax would be the robbery of the rich for the benefit of the poor, but the author claims that such a tax would be no injustice since "the wealth of a country must produce the intelligence of that country or there will be none. This country cannot peaceably get along with th" intelligence we now have. The best proof of that is that we are not getting along peaceably. No matter in whose handB the wealth is intelligence sufficient to enable us to hve in peace must be paid for and produced. The question is not what the few would like. The question is what is for the interest of thoiiiany. Unless the wealth of the country shall be made to correspond to the educational needs of the country, all the beggarliness, degradation and hopelessness of European life will be upon us."

So Mr. Jaoobson reasons and there seems to be force in his arguments. The timo has come when a halt must be called to the rapid concentration of wealth in the bauds of a few, when the interests of a great majority must be considered. Never before was there so much keen, profound study of economic and social conditions and problems as is witnessed to-day In this couutry and the fact is a most hopeful sign. We shall not get upon that "higher ground" of general intelligence and wider enjoyment ot the manifold blessings of lire untill we think and strive for It. Out of all this fermentation of thought and discussion good results cannot fail to come.

THK OLD STORY.

The Chicago Tribune, uulike a large portion of the newspaper press, does not think the country is endangered by the growing tendency towards the concentration of wealth. Commenting on Mr. Shearman's article in the November Korum, which shows that the rich class in this country are far richer than the same class in old England, it says:

IVnth wtll divide and scatter the** overgrown Individual fortunes spendthrift heirs will dlwlpate them. They are doing it already, and the money will find It* way back ajfitin Into a more numerous and diversified holding, thus helping to restore the equilibrium. If we had the primogeniture and, entail system of England, there might be ditniter In this Individual concentration of

things of time and (sense, This is ijio same old argument that has been heart! oyer and over, but it is apoei us and deceptive.' It Is true that we have not the entail system of England and et, strangely enough, the fortunes of our rich men roll up faster than those of England, where that system does prevail. is a very pleasant theory that death divides and scatters these vast fortune#, but if that IH the fact how do thev umnflge to g*?t bigger all the time? WhV are the fortunes or one depade n! ways vastly greater than those of the previous one? hundred years we tve been congratulating ouwelvw that primogeniture laws limited wealth in this country to a single hair, or permilled it to b« tied up forever in a single f«mUv. What better oft are we for that? \i«*dy tbe fortune® of our rich men

dees dissipate fortunes, but what avails that when & tnan "ten years from poverty" can have an income of $20,000,000, "from the control and arbitrary pricing of an article of universal nse?" Does It matter very much whether the plutocracy of a country is by inheritance or otherwise? It is the plutocracy on the one hand and the poverty on the other which does the harm. The man with an ague chill has as much blood as usual but it is not rightly distributed^ That is what ails a plutocracy.

PERPEPUAL YOUTH.

The Brown-Sequard elixir of youth appears to have dropped out of sight as suddenly as it came in. One hears no more about it and apparently the old

men have given up to die when their carrei jn the Cronin case during the

November, and her remarks are full of

sense and wisdom. Her penacea for the

li^A fe nlAMflAftltHflll

ills of mortal life is plenty of healthful work to do, abstention from worry and fretting and temperance in all things. It has been found, she says, (and we can well believe it) that the majority of old people are not old because they used or eschewed liquof, tobacco, tea or coflfee, meat or vegetables, had this or that kind of bouses or lived in one climate or another but because they were simply temperate, not in one thing, but in all things, carrying their burdens as easily as possible and not wearing their lives away with fret and worry. Take the records of a hundred aged people gathered at random and it will be found impossible to classify them by any other rule than that of rational temperance In their various habits. It matters much less what one eats or drinks than that he eat and drink with moderation. The kind of work one does is not specially important, so long as ho does just enough and not too much of it. There is no woman so sick and misirable as the woman who is forever doctoring herself to keep well. There is no person so healthy as he who is able to forget his body entirely, having no pains or aches to remind him of its existence.

We are young so long as we feel young no matter whether the hair be white or black. There are men and women too who are younger at sixty than others are at thirty. To a greater extent than we generally suppose, age is less a matter of years than of temperament and feeling.

THK

"land syndicate" system, recent

ly Inaugurated, has spread rapidly over the country and is now adopted wherever any considerable activity in real estate exists. The plan is to buy a tract of land for sub-division issuing as many shares as there are lots with a small payment down and the balance running in monthly installments, a portion of the money paid in being set aside

for

provements. When all the shares have been taken a meeting is held and the choice of lots sold at auction, the premiums obtained being equally divided among the share-holders. By this form of co-operation it is found that a hundred persons of Jimited means may handle to an advantage property which they could not touch single handed and thus participate in profits hitherto enjoyed only by the rich. The plan seems to have worked well where honestly carried out and it may be the pioneer to syndicate enterprises in other directions.

English mania for buying up

business properties in the United States, seems to grow with what it feeds on and it is beginning to be a question whether anything will be left for Americans to own and operate. There is a vast amount of money in England that is bringing the meagrest rate of interest to its owners, who jump at the chance to put their surplus capital where it will bring American percentages of profit. But there is danger that this thing may be overdone. Americans are full of ingenuity and resources and the money which England is pouring into this country will not be allowed to lie idle. It will go at once into industrial enterprises of one kind or another and our British cousins may presently find busi

as it now is in England and their anticipated profits cut down correspondingly.

during that period. His work is easy genteel and indoors and has little in common with the rougher life of the private citixen. We think the Tribune has diagnosticated the case about right, and yet we would not so much favor lengthening the office-hol lers' hours of labor as shortening those of the rest of us. Shorter tv y*y and more fnn is what it wag just r,,t.
