Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1884-02-08

The doctrine that the border-land Of
insanity is a very narrow one, and that
most sane people are near the line. has
been extensively taught during tho last
quarter of q century. Now the truth
is, there is a broad line between sanity
and insanity; and that .all men are
mad is not true in any reasonable sense.
There are, however, large number Of
persons who have an insane impulse to
do some wicked deed--to kilt them
selves or somebody else, TO jump into
the sea il on vessel, to throw them-
selves from height il on top Of build
ing or on the border of 0 precipice.
Only recently, while listening TO . lecture
on insanity by one OF the most noted
neurologists in New York, the speaker
stated an experience of his own, and
said that once while visiting some ro-
mantle scenery in the Great West, he
desired to look down q deep preci-
pice. He laid down fiat on his
face, close to the edge Of II, and gazed
into the depths below. To his utter
amazement he was seized with . desire
to throw himself down the abyss, and
lost the power Of restraint He called
vigorously TO his friends near by 70
drag him back. and this alone saved
him from the deed. While, however.
such impulses are frequent, we believe
they do not trouble the peace Of mind
of the majority. Such as have them
should strengthen their nervous systems
by culture, strengthen their wills. and
take good care Of their brains -HsrGld

than Scott himself, who stood six
feet four inches, he exclaimed
capt. Brown, you are the first
Junior officer l ever had to look up
TO-" Upon one occasion, In the
winter, when it was very cold, Capt.
Jessie B. Brown, before alluded to,
entered a tavern, and found he
could not get near the fireplace to
get warm, as there were so many
people surrounding it. Stalking out
to a place where he knew there was

the keg over into the roaring flames.
Of course there was an instant
scattering of the impolite guests,
and Brown Immediately took a seat
by the fire as if waiting for the ex-
plosion. None followed, however,
and after a time the men returned,
feeling they had been imposed
upon, but saying but little about it.
This occurred at Fort Madison, Iowa,
many years ago. In 1851 Brown

When we read that in England,
under Queen Elizabeth, court favor
ties were granted patents on salt and
other articles If necessity, it seems
to us outrageous, as indeed it was.
But the American congress, by pro-
lection virtually granted four pow
erful firms in this country the patent
on quininc, the greatest specific ever
discovered. These firms made them
selves immensely wealthy by extort-
ing four dollars an ounce for their
product from the American people.
They claimed that this was the low
est price at which they could manu-
facture quinine. But when put face
to face with competition with the
world they have demonstrated thai
they can make it for about one-fourtf
Of what they charged while protected
in their practice of robbery. The
&. o, p. lays claim to be the party o
progress; but one has to go back tC
times of tyrannical, monarchial rul,
to find wrongs which will at all com
pare with the wrongs wrought by
the system of high protection now
sustained in this country.

Chairman Morrison introduced the
tariff bill in the house on Monday.
The dispatch announcing its intro
duction says: A reduction Of 20
per cent. is made in numerous
articles, while in n few cases the
reduction is greater or less than
this rate. a provision prevents
"anv reduction to rate lower than
that in the Morrill, act of 1861"
The bill is so conservative that it will
undoubtedly pass the house without
any material changes; and it would
not be a great wonder if the senate
accepted it and it became law. If
the the high protectionists can induce
the republicans to array themselves
against it as n party, they will give
the democratic party the vantage
ground in the fight next year which
will surely be fought out on the
issue of tariff reform. 1t will put the
republican party in the attitude Of
demanding greater protection than
that afforded by the war tariff. The
democrat who wishes his party
placed in a more favorable position
that it will attain by supporting the
Morrison tariff bill ought to be
ashamed of himself

1t is reported that qulnine Is sell
ing at one dollar and quarter an
ounce, which is lower than it has
ever sold before. A few years ago,
before the import duty was taken
of, auinine sold at four dollars an
ounce. Then three or four firms IN
New York and Philadelphia man
ufactured about one half the amount
used in this country and charged
therefor more than enough to pay
for the whole amount consumed.
AS there are less than a score OF
duinine manufacturers in the world,
it was possible for them to form q
universal pool" which governed
the price more or less ever since,
but scarcely ever raising it more
than one half as high as it Was while
protected" But now the combi-
nation is broken, and the infant
quinine robbers are unable to prac-
