PUBLIC DEBT.

The light taxes in Wisconsin are
easily accounted for when we consider
the comparatively small amount of
her public debt. In spite of the vast
number of internal improvements
which have been undertaken by the
state, her total public debt is only
So, 1903, 532 Massachusetts has a pub
lie debt of $29,032,537. Connecticut,
another state old enough to have paid
her debts long ago, and with but half
as large a population as Wisconsin,
has more than three times as large a
debt. The state of Illinois has given
her obligations for 100000, while
some of the eastern states have debts
of double and treble this amount.

The Farmers Alliance Candidate.

Down in the Minnesota Second
district they have an organization
called the Farmers Alliance, COM
posed of tag ends of the old Granger
clique and sorehead office-seekers from
all parties. These malcontents got
together a few days ago at Mankato
and held what they called Il conven-
ton and nominated one J. A. Latimer
for Congress, in opposition to ex-Lieut,
Gov. Wakefield. These fellows are
always bowling for cheap goods when
they buy, and want the highest posi-
bic price for rotten eggs and stale but
ter. In their platform we find the
following resolution:
RESOLVED, That we hereby demand at the
hands of congress that the tariff laws shall be so
changed and modified that no more revenue
shall be collected from the people than is abSo-
lutely necessary to carry on the government eco
nomictlly administered; and beyond this Is rob-
berry Of the people; that in laying the necessary
taxes, it is the duty of congress to impose the
chief burdens on luXurieS and exempt the neceS-
sares of life and such articles as are required for
the support of laboriug men of the country.
That is all very nice, but what are
these great reformers going to do with
the national debt and the interest on
the same? We infer from reading the
above that they propose to repudiate
all that, Just as most of them would
their own bills if they could. The
Alliance is fraud, as is also their new
found candidate for congressional
honors, in so far as political honesty
is concerned.

WAGES IN WISCONSIN.

There were no serious strikes in
Wisconsin. Why? Because there is
a constantly increasing demand for
laborers Of all kinds, and the employer
is forced to pay his mon fair living
wages in order to keep them.
The people of Wisconsin employ
employ over 10000 agricultural la
borers, and 10000 domestic servants
the wages of the former varying
from SIS to $50 a month, and Of the
latter from IS to $40. In the manu-
featuring, mechanical and mining es-
Establishments of the state, 53,517 peo-
pie find employment and receive for
their labor upwards of fifteen million
dollars annually.
The sudden opening up of the north
ern part of the state which has result
ed from the building of the Wisconsin
Central railroad has created Il demand
for laborers and artizians of every
kind, carpenters, blacksmiths, shoe
makers, tailors, farmers, machinists
and lumbermen-all are wanted and
there is room for all Ashland Press.

The report of railroad commits
sioner Lamb shows that fifteen rail
road corporations, representing all in
the state except the Fond du Lac q
Amboy narrow gauge, have reported.
These roads represent total length
of 4,9S5.26 miles, of which 2,559.60
are within the boundaries of this state.
The roads represent capital of a
hundred million dollars. The total
aggregate earnings for the year end

TAXES.

Closely connected with the question
of wealth is that of taxes. Many
parts of our country are hopelessly
burdened with taxes, and the business
man who invests in such places will
find large share of his profits passing
iato the state and county treasures.
Inrespect to light taxation Wiscon-
sin has a standing Of which her people
may well be proud. The total taxa
ton Of state and county purposes upon
each 1000 is S7.67, or about seven
and half mills on the dollar.
The average tax paid by each per-
son in Wisconsin is $50 against
$17.10 in Massachusetts,, $3.50 in
California, $3.50 in Nevada, S10.32
in New Hampshire, 11,O7 in New
York, SLIPS in Connecticut, 1888 in
Ohio, etc.

higher branches of education unpro-

equipped State University, and four
fine normal schools, which takes the
scholar from the high school and COM
pletes his education free of charge.
INCREASE OF POPULATION IN NORTH
ERN WISCONSIN.
There is a great advantage in being
in a growing country. In such a
country there are always manifold OBJ
portunities for industry and enterprise
to reap a rich reward The owner of
real estate finds it constantly appreci-
ating in value, not only by reason of
the rapid development of natural re-
sources in his immediate vicinity, but
also by the constant influx of men and
means from without.
WISCONSIN WEALTH.
Would you believe that the actual
value of the real and personal estate
in Wisconsin is greater than the real
and personal estate of California by
S60,000,O00? Would you believe that
Wisconsin is five times as wealthy as
the great state of Texas, four times as
rich as Kansas, three times as rich as
Minnesota, and twice as rich as Vir-
ginia? Yet such is the case as the
census statistics will show.
1t may be argued, however, that
such states as California and Kansas
have yet vast resources to be de-
veloped. But the same is true of
Wisconsin. In the northern half of
the state are 50,000,000,000 feet of
standing pine, which has an actual
cash value of hundreds of millions of
dollars. There is an iron range rich
enough to supply the whole world for
century. Add to this the lead and
copper mines and twenty million acres
of farming land which have never yet
felt the pillow, and it will be seen that
Wisconsin has a vast amount Of unde
veloped wealth,
Some idea Of the comparative wealth
and prosperity Of state may be
formed from q glance at the number
of paupers it has to support. At the
time the census report was made,
Wisconsin had l 800 paupers, Michi-
gan, an adjoining state with about the
same population, had more than twice
as many, California with not half the
population, has nearly twice as many;
while Maine with half the population
has three times as many. Vermont
with a population of $4,000, over
1900 paupers, while New Jersey has
$500; Virginia, $500; Indiana, 4 500;
Illinois, 5000; Pennsylvania, $4,000;
New York, $4,000.

We hear it intimated that the au-
thorities are contemplating making
the new sidewalk on the south side of
ID street, between Becker and Nettle-
ton avenues only six or eight feet
wide. We think the TINES reflects
the sediments of the people generally
when it enters its protest against this
arrangement. Let this walk on our
present business thoroughfare be
twelve feet wide to correspond with
the walk already built on the east and
west of it. No marrow walk, there,
gentlemen.

says some Bulgarian Monk, from Tur-
key wrote it. The Rev. A. n. Exper-
idon, the said Monk, never wrote a
word of the letter, had left Duluth be-
fore the article appeared, and never
was in Superior. Mitchell is probab-
ly getting ready to send a man over
here to canvass for subscribers and job
work, again, and wrote the article as a
reason why we should all patronize
him.

of the singular peculiarities of the
mere politician that when once he has
caught the itch for office it becomes
a chronic disease and nothing short
OF perpetual public life and compar-

FOCUSING tue cause of either one or
the other. Labor must feel secure
in the hands of those who govern,
aud capital must have confidence in
the justice of the party which seeks
to administer the affairs OF the peo
pie. Both must be brought under
the same rules, and Il war upon cap
ital will result as disastrously TO the
party that makes it as IA war Oh la
Dor. The American. people are Just
and demand the care of both alike.
When labor and capital realize their
responsibility Oh each other, special
protection will disappear and both
will look with confidence for their
equal and just rights to the foster
ing care of the goyernment-which
is the people.

Manufactures.

LII enumerating the means of ma
tlonal wealth and prosperity, Lord
Bacon, the greatest of philosophers,
gave the first place to manufactures,
In Bacon's days English manufac
lures were hardly in their Infancy,
so that his opinion as to their eff.
cheney in promoting national opu-
lence was not formed after the fact.
This wonderful man, by that pro
found sagacity that distinguished
him above all other men of ancient
or modern times, clearly saw that
the country which could supply its
own wants and furnish its neighbors
with manufactured goods must nee
essarily become the richest in the
world, and consequently the most
powerful. Look at England in Ba.
cons times and then contemplate
her now, with more money and cred.

Louisiana owes it to Gov. Nichols to
tender him the chief executiveship
OF the State. We do not know that
he would accept it if rendered, and
have been informed that it is doubt
full if he would relinquish his remu-

force him to yield his private interest

Nichols for the next Governor of
Louisiana. Its position is well taken,
and there is scarcely any doubt but
what Gov. Nichols could secure the
nomination should he make up his
mind to that end. The people of
Louisiana would hardly fail to honor
the ex-governor with another term If
he made manifest his desire for the
position. Thus far, however, the

part that he would be candidate
