...have over-production. This is said to be the cause of hard times, but it is in fact hard times that often causes this overproduction. America has no monopoly of hard times. Free Trade countries suffer as much as we. The Tariff, therefore, cannot be charged with this common evil. If we remove this protection to our industries, we make America the dumping ground for Europe's surplus manufactures. Protection is antagonistic to commerce, we are told. Yet, our imports have increased five fold under the present tariff, and we are sending cotton goods to the English, who are really...
...shows himself off in no very good light. So much for courtesy among the students. On the side of the lecturers, is it not their duty to be prompt in closing their lectures and not to keep their sections three, five or more minutes after the hour.

We cannot hope for success say by untiring, ceaseless and unsparing agitation. The library at present offers no inducements whatever to the students at large. It is only by an effort, usually, that a student can manage to spend...
...England, a well-timed riot or two and a judicious use of explosive are often necessary, some say, to call the attention of Parliament to any crying evil. Now we do not wish to make comparisons any more odious than necessary, but we cannot help feeling that there is quite a parallel case near at hand; and those of us who are not over-gifted with the calm and tranquil mind, now and then regret the extinction of certain good old college customs, that have in times past, constrained the attention of our college Parliament in a similiar manner...
