The McKeen Cadets.

The Vincenaes Sun contains the following notice of the prize driil there on Wednesday "The MeKeen Cadets arrived on the morning train, and the Monroe City Vets, wire 011 the ground at an early hour. TheTcrre Haute boys looked immense— good i-nough to tat (a woman's opinion of course), and won hearty applause with every maneuver. They led oil' in the drill, followed by the Veteran?, after which they were matched up in front of the Grand Stand to receive the decision of the Judges, Caj t. Smith, Col. Ovens and" Gen. Ilobson. Amid the most perfect quiet the decision was read awarding the Hr3t prize (#200^ to the McKeen Cadets, of Torre Ilau'.e, and the second prize ($125) to the Veterans of Monroe City. The Judges also complimented the old soldiers on their dignified bearing, and general competency. The veterans were greeted with vociferous applause, after the completion of the drill. They ought to congratulate Iheniselves on their success, as the tacties [Hardee's] which they practiced for four years in the array have goue ont of use and those of Upton substituted. Thus they were met at the out set by the great ditliculty cl'unlearning what" they Knew so welt. After the decision of the Judges was announced Capt, Welton, of the Vets, proposed three cheers for the McKeen Cadets, which were given with a heartv good will, aftor which

Deport of the Proceedings,

The Vigo county Teacher's Institute, met Monday, PtW. Allen in charge, assisted by Profs. Seiler aud Brown. Prof, Brown gave a lecture on the first steps of arithmetic and drawing. The Institute reassembled at 1:30 with a considerably larger attendance than in the morning. Prof Seller treated Geography and Prof. Brown poke on Science. Alter recess Supt. Allen gave a talk on the general condition of the schools, after which the Institute adjourned.

TUESDAY•

The Urst exercise was on decitral fractions by Prot. Brown. Prof. Seiler gave a lesson 011 reading and spoke of silent reading as the most important kind, which is as much of an accomplishment if done well, as it is to read orally. Prof. Brown continued his remarks on drawing and was lollowed by Prof. Seiler, who took up Grammar and noted several er rors in teaching that study. In the af ernoon J. II. Beadle, of Rockville, delivered an argument in lavor of free trade.

From Wednesday's Dally.

Mr. T. H. Beadle, editor of the Rockville Tribune, lectured yesterday afternoon before the teachers' institute, on Protective Tariff. Mr. Beadle is one of the most enlightened and advanced thinkers of the state, and he holds tenaciously to the doctrine of free trade. lie was a Republican until the position of his party drove him from the ranks. He wag nominated last Saturday by a free trade convention in Parke county, lor Slate Representative, and will make his fight for an election on this issue.

Mr. Beadle is a forcible speaker, and held the closest attention of his audience, which was a more than commonly intelligent one.

Ilis address is given below, in substance LADIES AM) GENTLEMEN OI' THE INSTITUTE, I am a free trader,—radical, persevering and uncompromising. If I had my way, I would abolish all custom houses, and collect reveuue direct lrom the wealth and luxuries of the couutry. instead of from its poverties and necessities. 1 would oivido the needed roveuuu into three parts: one I would collect by a graduated income tax another by an excise or stauip tax 0.1 wines, liquors aud tobacco and 1 In third by a uirect tax apportioned among the states accotding to tlir constitution. 1 regard indirect taxation a a serious danger to a republic, promoting extravagance. 1 would have the tax so collected that the tax payer would feel it. It would make him watch the financial acts of congress. Iu this way and in this way only can we secure fiscal economy.

I am a Free Trader because I regard all hinderauces to legitimate trade, as bad in themselves—equally as bad whether natural or artiileial. The whirlwind and ihe hurricane, shallow rivers and bad harbors, time and distance these are natur al hinderanci S which science is en deavoring to overcome. A re striitive tariff is an artificial hindrance which must be abolished by the common sense of voters. Foreign commerce is cither a good or a bad thing. If bid,then ste unships, improved harbors and cheapened freights are bad the hurricane and not the trade wind is the true triend of man. If good, then all hind ranees thereto are id. Our government, most assurdly, attempts to combinc both theories. It sends consuls to the remotest corners of the earth to pray for trade and then inconsistently 'oibid3 the natives of distant climes to trade with us It spends, and wastefnlly, uucor.ntcd millions to improve harbors so the foreigner can get in then fines him 50 to •"00 per cent on his goods for coming in. It has spent six millions to open the mouth of the Mississippi to foreign trade, and seven millions on coast guards and custom houses to close it. It appropriates t«n millions to build a railroad iuto Mexico then the Mexican and American governments jointly impose an average tax of 140 per cent on trade between liie two nations, making the cost the same as if 7,000 miles of desert and mountains lay between?*, them. It labors long and spends much nior.ey to enKble the foreign merchant to come up the Mississippi river to inland ports then fines him 60 per cent, for coming. All such acts are to be regarded as inexcusable stupidity 8nd folly. If the tariff principle is sound, the river and harbor bill is a fraud. If trade be a thing worth spending so much money for, we stultify ourselves in opposing it. Let us at least be consistent. Let us adopt either the Chinese or the English system, and not waste our energies in laboring to combine them both in one.

So much, ladies and gentlemen, I say to define my position. It now seems fair to go turther and set forth

WHAT FREE TRADERS BRLIE\F 1. Free traders believe that God made of one blood all nations that dwell on the face of the earth, and the nearer the nations cau get to each other for intercourse and commerce the more they will live in accordance with God's design.

That it never was the divine plan that nations should cultivate exclusiveness and jealousy, as the Chinese or self-adoring pride, like the Spaniards.

That the freest communication will lead to the highest average of intelligence and happiness.

That international trade is one of the divinely appointed means of spreading civilization and Christianity, and that, aside from any profit and loss, trade between nations is a good thing, in and of itself.

That 200 years of unrestricted free trade would draw all nations into one federation, and render war almost an im­

iStlirfW

possibility. That one half of the wars waged tor the last century were due to mere jealousy and want of free communication, and that the more trade l»etween two nations, the easier to maintain peace. The only thing which prevented a war between England aud the United States in 1860 to 1372, during the Alabama claims controversy, was the trade interests which prevailed. And lor further proof of this proposition, the whole history of the world may be appealed to. 2nd. Free Traders believe that over the whole world, the variations of altitude and latitude, dryness and dampness, cold and heat, soil, geology, and natural pro ductions, secure to each country a large number of specialties, in which it can excell all others and that by a free interchange, the highest average of comfort is attended by the lowest average of labor 3rd. Free Traders believe that Al mighty God, by interposing mountains and deserts, oceaus anil rivers, Itctweeu nations, has given to each nation exactly the amount of protection it needs it costs $0 per ton for freight aud fcc., to bring a ton of pig iron from England to Brazil, while the same ton, produced in Brazil, can be bought for$(i, wnich is merely the ireiglit on a ton productd in England. This is protection enough. If the industries of a countiy cannot suslaiu themselves with this much protection, it is evidence that something is wrong.

And here the average free trader stops But one who is rooted aud grounded iu the faith, goes a btep lartlier, aDd says. 4th. There are

»ome

That Free Trade is natural to a free republic while restriction is the natural outgrowth of monarchy, the al.y of des potism.

IS ALL THIS THEORY

The whole history of commerce shows it to be practical truth. I now assert these facts: 1st That through all history, the nations with the largest foreign commerce have beeu the most prosperous, humane and civilized. 2nd. That without a single exception, those nations with the freest trade have outrun those with restrictive laws. 3rd. That there is not one instance in the history of the world, where a nation adopted tree trade, without improving the condition of its people. 4th. That in every instance where a nation abolished a protective tariff, and adopted free tradi., the wages of labor soon rose. 5th. That of any two nations starting equally, tha oue wicti the freest trade out ran the other, and that free trade is the only political system thathas never failed, when fairly tried:

Oth. That of two contrasted periods iu the same country, the period of greatest teedom of trade has been the period of greatest prosperity and happi uess. 7th. That of the nations now in existancc, those with the freest trade invariably pay the highest wages, and have the best class of laborers with the single apparent exception of the United States.

I might as well make a few remarks on THE HISTORY OF TARIFF.

A protective tariff was unknown among the ancients. Tyre, Carthage, Genoa, and Venice were all free trade nations, and made their great wealh, without a pr otective tariff: all of the ereat commercial nations of antiquity and the middle ag cs grew rich on free trade.

The first tariff waj levied during the crusades when the soldiers of the cross were returning home from the wars in Palestine, the penurious barons erected gates across the roaas leading through their dominions, and levied a tariff on all persons and things passing through. Our New York custom house is the legitimate descendent of these robber baron's toll gates But they never had the unmitigated cheek to say that this was down for the benefit of the consumer. When the robb-T barons levied a tariff by torture o* some harmless Jew, they never told him that it was done for his benefit.

The word tariff is derived from the Moors, who used to plunder the ships of other countries, taking so much a per cent of the cargo,-and" when the ship owner reached heme he added to the cost of the goods this percentage of tariff.

Spain first brought the tariff to a system. She was then tne most powerful nation in the world. In three generations after shutting out foreign trade, her industries died a natural death, and she has been a third rate power ever since. China and Spain, are the only two countries In the world who have adopted an extreme protective tariff. The result is before the world.

Free trade is natural and tariff is artificial. Free trade must commend itself

»IB»B a,

articles of

great delicacy or lineufss of fiuish and some of peculiar local value, in which there is great value in small bulk, wtiicli mi^ht be made in almost any country but it is far better for all countries that some one should make specialty of such an article, for many reasons:

A mechanical community acquires her editary skill and appliances may be collected iu one place. Concentration, rath er than diffusion of energy, is to be desired. Transportation for these kinds of goods is practically nothing not one tenth of one percent. Instances may be found in the Sheffield knife iiianufac lories, and in the straw-goods establishments at Waring, Mass all the world gets goods cheaper, because these industries arc centralized The United States is a manufacturer of agricultural implements, and Europe ge them much cheaper, than if she manufactured them herself. So it is with sewing machines, England makes fine cutlery one town can make it for the whole world, by a concentration of thought, energy and improvement. The market of each nation should not be restricted to itself. When America makes farm machinery and trades it to England for cutlery, both nations have more cutlery and more farm machinery, than if each made both for itself. 5. Free Traders believe that there is only oue way of determining what each country can do most profitably, and that is by leaving all free to interchange products at will. Then in no long time, eac'a wiil be producing that which it cau produce with the smallest outlay of labor. Each will then develop along the hae of its special advantages and talents an secure the highest skill.

That Free Trade is a protection, and ha-, all the advantages of a natural over an artificial system of freedom over restriction of a system which will run itself without adjustment and without cost to th': government, over one which has to be forced into existence.

THE TERRE HAUTE WEEKL waZXTTE.

to every healthy mind, by instinct, for commercial freedom is worth just as nuch as any other kind of freedom.

The Vigo county Teachers' Institute was called to order again this morning, by tiapt. Allen. Singing was conducted by Prof. Sieler, with Prof. Anton Shide at the organ. Prol. Byers read the morning lesson, and Rev. Stimson conducted the Institute in prayer.

Mrs. Lizzie Byers spoke to the Institute for 40 minutes, on grammar. Mrs. Byers said that the teicher should constantly watch her opportunity for instilling the principles of grammar.

No matter whether the lessson of the hour be geography, arithmetic, grammar or reading, when an incident brings forward some principle of grammar, the teacher should seize the opportunity, while the interest uf the pupil is aroused, to impress upon him that principle This rule should be observed with other studies, as well as grammar.

Prof. E. F. Brown continued the lesson on Arithmetic, and discussed the multiplication and division of decimal frastions, and also percentage.

After a recess, Prot. Seiler took up reading, and finished his discourse on silent reading. He devoted a few minutes to the discussion of some elementary principles on oral reading.

Prof. E. F. Brown finished the morning session with anothtr lesson on drawing. He drew several figures on the board for models, and had the Institute draw th^same from dictation.

Adjourned for noon intermiseion. AFTEHNOON SESSION. The Institute began its exerciscs at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. Prof. Seiler, of the Normal faculty, gave a lesson in geography. He was followed by Prof. E. F. Brown in natural science aud for illustration he took the common house fly, delivering an exceedingly interesting and instructive discourse thereon.

A duet was g*ven by Dan Davis and Miss Helen Jefiers, also a recitation by Miss Alice Fisher. Dick T. Morgan delivered an address on the legal rights of the child considered in relation to corporal punishment. rom xnursday's Dally.

The Teachers' Institute opened this morning, with music and prayer, conducted by Prof. Seiler.

The first exercise was conducted by Prof Seiler, and was a continuation of his lecture on Oral Reading. The successful teaching of oral reading is accomplished, not by lectures and rules but by actual practice on the part of the pupil, under the skillful direction of the teacher. All drill exercises in oral reading should include: 1. Exercises designed to develop the thought and awaken the emotion to be expresssed. 2. Exercises in the oral expression of the thought aud emotion.

The first includes the study of words as to their meaning the study of figures of speech, and the study of related facts.

The second includes drill in the modulation of the voice: (a) for purposes of emphasis (b) for other purposes-

Next to the correct articulation of the elemeutary sounds, correct modulation is the most important element in vocal expression.

The voice may be modulated, First, in respect to pitcn second, iu respect to force third, in respect to quality fourth, in rcs»pect to rate. Sometimes several forms of modulation are employed in emphasizing a single word.

Prof. E. F. Brown continued his ventilation of arithmetic, finishing percentage anil-taking up interest. Several prob1 ms in interest were worked by the institute under Prof. Brown's direction.

The next exercises were to have been a lecture by Prof. Wm. A. Jones, but Mr. Jones was not present, and Prof. Seiler occupied the time with an exercise in mathematical geography, in which he discussed the use of the globe in the school room. He said that he could not recommend the use of the globe in teaching the relative size and positions of the planets. That cau best be done by sketching on the black board. Prof. Seiler discussed the idea of the plane ^of the earth's orbit, and the position of the sun relative to the orbit. An illustration lesson was taken from the position of Indiana, and its probable climate. (1) If the earth's axis be perpendicular to its orbit (2) If the axis be inclined forty-five degress to its orbit (8j If th« earth's axis lies in the plane of the earth's orbit

Prof. E. F. Brown then gave another lesson on drawing, particularly on the divisions of the work. He diagramed these divisions as follows: 1. Flat ornament.—(a) Geometrical figures, straight lines, (b Geometrical figures, introducing curves, (c) Balanced and irregular figures. 2. Representation of objects.—(a) Flat outline, (b) Raised by shading, (c) Linear perspective.

Adjourned for the noon intermission. AFTERNOOX SFSSION. Col. Wm. E. McLean addressed the Institute or "The Life and Writings ot Robert Burnes" Prof. W. A. Jones lectured on "The abstract idea of the Nation."

From Friday's Dally. Yesterday Afternoon.

v#1"

The afternoon session ot the Teacher's Institute, yesterday, was very interesting. Theie was a large audience present, and all thoroughly appreciated the good pro gram.

Col. McLean's lecture on Robert Burns, was an interesting exposition of the life and writings of Scotland's famous poet. It was published entire in the GAZETTE several years ago.

Prof. W. B. Jones gave a lecture on "The Idea of the Nation," which was an abstract treatise on the existence, the puroee and cause of existence of the nation, 'he lecture was an admirable one and we would be pleased to lay il before our readers but its length forbids that and no abstract could do it justice.

Hon. Wm. Mack took the platform, and made a speech on protective tariff, endeavoring to answer the arguments Mr. J. Beadle delivered before the institute last Tuesday.

The speech led to an interesting and animated discussion between Mr. Mack and Judge J. T. Scott, who is opposed to a protective tariff. It was productive of several important points, and was capital fun while it lasted.

The gist of the speech is given below: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:—Probably no public question is more important at the present time, or is thought upon more than the tariff.

Mr. Be&d'le, who is one of the best in-'

formed men in the state, ia in favor of free trade. I am in favor of a tariff which will be a protection to our industries. 1 am not able at present to answer all of Mr. Beadle's arguments taken from history. He said that all the nations ot antiquitv grew rich on free trade. Tyre and Alexandria became prosperous through this Bysteic. But where is Tyre to-day Is Alexandria of old still a pros perous city? There exists not even a stone to mars the place where the great free trade city of Tyre once stood. And where is Rome, another ot the rich free trade cities of antiquity Did the decline and fall of Rome have any thing to do with the decline of her industries incident to free trade? Free trade has per haps built great and rich cities, but it has not perpetuated them. On the contrary, China has had a protective and prohibitory tariff for a thousand years And China one of the greatest, the best preserved, and most complete in itself, nations in the world.

We are pointed to England as a great free trade country. But she has been so for but a sbort time. She has protect id and fostered her industries until they were able to compete with the woild and not until theu did she adopt free trale. Thij was in 1846.

England achieved all her greatness unthr a prot clive tariff system. Her commercial interests were greater while un der this Rystem than they have ever been since. It was while her commerce was subject to a protective tariff that she colonized America and annexed India.

Free trade moans that you put no tariff on goods from other countries. What is the cffect

We have a tarifi' now, although it is not adjusted in a way which I approve of. It is unequal. My idea of a tariff is that it is the best, most convenient, and less fell mode of collecting a tax. But I am not in favor of merely a revenue tariff. We want a tariff for protection.

Foreign nations can produce iri cheaperlhan we can. Our iron and coal mines are not yet developed, and "our laborers have not yet the skill to compete with Europe. Onr people should be given an opportunity, an incentive for the developejaent of this and other iu dustries.

The wonderful growth of this coun'ry is due to the fact that wages are high. And wages can not be kept up, if w^arc to compete with Chinese cheap labor. I think we would have a Rome to-day, if she had festered her own industries, instead of killing them with free trade.

We need a tariff so adjusted as to furnish revenue to the government and give protection to our industries.

ItlorningSoiiloii.

The institute opened at nine cl'ick, as usual this morning, with a good Hitendance. After singing, devotional exercises were conduct by Rev. Whitlock.

A reac ing exercise was conducted by Prof. Seiler. the selection being from Holland's Mistress of the Mouse.

Prof. Brown continued his discussion of Interest and Discouut. He gave this definition: "Interest is applied percentage, involving the elem«nt of time."

After a recess, Prof. Seiler finished a series of talks on geography. Prof E. F. Brown gave a science lesson with illustrations by some simple apparatus devised by Prot. Allen. The phenomenon of the intermittent spring was thus explained also the turbine water wheel.

Adjourned for noon intermission.

Afternoon session.

The last session of the institute was held this afternoon under charge of Prof. Donaldson. The first exercise was a lecture on "The Dangers of Animal Food" by Dr. Taylor. Then there was a lecture on "DrawiBg" by Prof. Brown. A solo was given by Miss May McEwan also (a duet by the Misses JSnsey. The institute closed at 4 o'clock, after which a teachers meeting was held.

I. N. Ke«ter, of Linton township, on 60 acres raised 1015 bushels of fultz whea —an average of a little less than 17 bush! els to the acre. Besides this 8% acres were rented out which averaged 17 bushels to the acre.

George W. Light, of Riley township, raised 31 acres of red wheat this year. Only a part has been threshed yielding an average of 14 bushels to the acre which on the whole would make a total, of 434. But the part unthreshed is better than that which has been.

O. P. Smith, of Honey Creek Township, on twenty-five acres, of fultz and red wheat, raised 316 bushels, an average of nearly thirteen bushels to the acre.

Henry E. Wyeth, of Riley township, on 16 acres has raised 415 bushels ot fultz wheat—an average of a fraction less than 26 bushels to the acre.
