thousands would perish, and the
great serpents of fame, leaping
from one building to another,
would clutch children from their

Senatorial Convention.

The Black River Falls Banner
gives us the following account Of
the Senatorial convention which
placed in nomination Hugh Price,
of that city, at the end of the 47th
ballot:
The Republican senatorial con-
vention held at Tomah yesterday
resulted more happily than was
anticipated. The first four ballots
stood, Price 4, Mills 8, Robert
Conors 5, blank 9. The 9 blanks
were cast by the Monroe county
delegation and the 5 Conors votes
came from Wood County. After
a fifteen-minutes recess the ballot
ing continued up to the 35th ballot
standing most of the time, Price s,
Mills s, Conors 5; but one stood
seven for each of the three
candidates and two stood, Price 10,
Mills 6, Conors 5. An adjourn
ment was then taken for supper,
after which the balloting was
continued up to the 43d ballot,
with Price getting 9 and 10 votes.
After a short recess Mr.. Mills
withdrew and H. H. Price was
unanimously nominated. 1t was
feared, when our delegation left
here, that the contest between
Messrs. Price and Mills would
result in losing to Jackson county
the honors to which it is entitled.
All returned home with a good
feeling, and the result will be quite
generally satisfactory. M. A.
Thayer, of Monroe, was chairman
Of the convention, and L. Arnold,
of Wood, was secretary. The
following committee was appointed
for insuing four years: J. J. Nc
Gillivray, of this county, P. H.
Moss, OF Monroe. w. D. Conor,
of Wood, G. F. Cooper was
unable to attend on account of the
serious illness of his wife, and E.
A. LIE Clair took his proxy. B. J.
Castle was also in the convention
as proxy for D. J. Spaulding, Mr.
Price was placed in nomination
before the convention by Messrs.
McGillivray and Castle, and Mr..
Mills by Messrs. lie Clair and
Whitney.

Free Trade and the Single Tax
on Land.

If their reservations are to be
believed the farmer is the especial
pet of the free trade attorneys.
All along the reform" ranks from
White House to frontier cabin,
from the ponderous daily paper of
the metropolis to the smallest
eross-road orator-are to be heard
wailings over the hard fate of the
farmer, compelled to aid IN max
ing everybody rich but himself.
To reverse all this he urged to
vote for free trade, as with that
will come lighter taxation, in
creased prices for farm products
and other desired blessings. The
policy of compelling foreigners to
pay for the privilege of using the
markets Of this country is
denounced as vicious, inquita-
BILE and illogical" the cause Of low
prices for products and most other
inconvenience the farmer is forced
to encounter. Hence, it is claimed
that all farmers should support the
tariff reform party.
But there is another class OF
voters whose prejudices are not to
be thus excited,-a class whose
interests are supposed to lie in an
opposite direction-and to these
an appeal is made of an altogether
different character. In certain
Eastern localities the appeal IS
made to voters to support tree
trade as the surest and speediest
means of abolishing all forms of
taxation except taxes on lands;
and there has been selected as the
leader of this wing of the free
trade forces, Mr.. Henry George,
who has already abandoned the
United Labor party he aided in
building up, and taken the field
for cleveland and Free Trade"
The New York Star, an admin
istration organ, opens its report of
a recent meeting in that city with
the exulting remark, Henry
George has girded up his loins,
and is determined to go forth to
STAY the dragon of Protection" In
his first speech this dragon-slayer
eulogized and proposed cheers for
President Cleveland, and otherwise
aided in the passage of the follow

ing:
Whereas, a reduction of tariff
duties, however slight, is a step
toward the abolition of all taxes
on the products of industry, and
their consequent transmission to
land values, Xxx
Resolved, That as advocates Of
the single tax on land values we
pledge our votes and efforts TO
assist in securing the success of
the Democratic national ticket.
In pursuance of which a Com
mittee was appointed for the dis
tribution of single tax free trade
literature" and vote passed to
work conformity with the New
York Free Trade Club" in further
ing the objects of the meeting.
Here is an aspect of the move
ment in behalf of free trade which
it is we'll for the farmers of the
United States to seriously contem-
plate before making up their minds
to assist the Golden Club and its
American allies in changing our
existing fiscal policy for one
dictated in the interest Of foreign
and rival nation. When fully
advised, they are likely to leave
support of the theory of "single
tax on land values" to its handful
of advocates among those who
have no lands to be taxed.
