BACK NUMBS* IDIAS.
In bis recent speech to his nobles
the Emperor William, of Germany,
said:
You must, before all, preserve and
maintain a capable peasantry that
will be a pillar of support to my
monarchy.
We can imagine such talk from a
king two hundred years ago, but it
is out of date now. William appar-
ently believes that the peasantry—
the common people—were created
simply to support his monarchy.
The idea has never occurred to him
that Germany really belongs to the
people and not to him. He wants
to keep millions of his subjects just
ignorant enough and poor enough
to look to him as their master. This
is what he calls supporting his
monarchy.
In America we have reversed this
idea. Here the people rule and
nothing is left undone to increase
their intelligence and their capacity
for self'government. They look to
to no one man as the arbiter of their
destinies, their war lord and their
patron in peace. No man in even
the highest office in our republic
would dare to claim that be was by
divine right the superior of millions
of his fellow citizens, and he would
doubtless be sent to a lunatic asy.
lum if he should declare that the-
common people were mainly useful
as a pillar of support to his govern-
STUDY OF POLITICAL KCONOMV.
Within the progress of mankind
in the exact sciences and the in.
creased development of the world's
resources, there has sprung up a
pressing necessity for close calcu-
lation. The study for political
economy, therefore, becomes one of
the most important that can engage
the attention of enlightened minds.
Nor is this, by any means, the dry
uninteresting subject that the inex«
perienced are apt to think it- Deal'
ing, as it does, with the daily indus
try of men and the relations that
subsist between them and the im
measurrble stores of wealth heaped
up around them by the hand o
Providence, it may be renderec
most varied and attractive in its
topics, as well as eloquent and even
ornate in its logic. In the affairs of
mankind, at least within the range
of our present sphere of activity,
there is no point that it does not
touch; the statistics of population;
sanitary measures; forms of Govern-
ment; the regulations of orders and
classes; the relative rank and po-
sition of nations; commerce, art,
science, invention, and all embraced
within its scope, and the greatest
comfort and happiness of our race
on earth are its direct and legitimate
aims.
The claims to our consideration
thus stated are, assuredly, not char-
acteristic of any common pursuit.
They leave everything but the high-
er spiritual necessities of the race in
the background, and, indirectly,
have a bearing even upon them.
Regarded in this light the study
of political economy, made univer
sally popular, would be one of the
most powerful agencies of reform

It seems that Chicago is not sat*
isfied with this forecast, and one of
her scientists, Professor Colbert,
takes issue with his Atlanta brother.
He says that the interior of the
earth is still hot and molten. The
outside crust of the earth is shrink-
ing to fill up the spaces beneath it,
and if the elements were uniform
the change would not cause irregu-

certain sections of the earth are con-
