HARRIsoN's letter of acceptance is q
placid acceptance of the situation as fix
ed by the republican leaders. There is
nothing original in it and no attempt to
break away from the wretched utterances
of the Chicago platform. He thinks the
surplus should be used to purchase
bonds, but ignores the fact that there are
no bonds matured and the government
would be compelled to pay the price ask
ed by the bondholders. The government
can save good amount by not purchas-
ing bonds at present. The Mills bill is
characterized as a step toward free trade.
Thus he descends to the low plane of at
tempting to defeat necessary revision
of the tariff by raising a false alarm.
And then the foreign nations which are
waiting to capture this country should
the democracy be continued in power
Truly we democrats are an unselfish lot
of fellows when we are willing to sacri-
fee our interests for the benefit of for
eigners.
Take 1t all IN all and the letter is most
disappointing. The nominee of the re-
publican party had grand opportunity
to place his party on higher plane than
ii has chosen to occupy since the tariff
became national question; but his cour-
age was not equal to the occasion.

THE Evening Wisconsin quotes prom
inent politician from the Fifth district to
the effect that FISHERMAN will defeat
Brickner. That prominent politician is
very poorly informed. Mr.. Brickner
does not need to stir outside of Sheboy-
gan Falls during the campaign and still
get the full majority of the district. MIR.
Brickner took no part in the contest for
the nomination and made no enmities.
He comes before the people in perfect
harmony with the democratic admins
tration and nominated without having
sought the honor. If his high personal
character would not plead for him the
democratic Fifth is too faithful to tariff
reform to do anything inimical to its sue
cess

Water Works Go.

To THE CITIZENS OF MANITOwoC:-
The best time to tap the main water
pipes for service pipes to be laid to
the premises of consumers is during
the time that the main pipes are be
ing laid in the streets, and while the
works are under construction. The
trenches can then be all filled back
properly and the streets made uni
form. Parties wanting water should
make application at once at the
Water Works Co.'S. office on Eighth
street, near the bridge, where all in
formation will be cheerfully given
Consumers making application now
will not be called upon for water
rents until they have actually entered
upon its use.
We have established a PLUMBING
BUSINESS and are prepared to do first
class Plumbing Work at low prices.
Parties wishing such work will do
well to call, or drop postal, SO that
they will be prepared for the water
when it is turned on.

THE Sentinel in attempting to show
that the cost of a manufactured article is
largely wages, falls into the use OF the
old argument that there Is no such
thing as raw material. 1t then quotes
from the census List of manufactures
the figures on agricultural Implements:
Wages paid s15,359,610, cost of material
S31, 531 ,170, and then goes on to state
that it took labor to put the material in
shape and that considerable amount
in fact the ''chief value"-of the material
ia in the labor. If The Sentinel sought
to give the facts on this one item, it
would have given the value Of the prod
ucts of this manufacture. The Pilot will
supply the omission: The value of prod
ucts of manufactures of agricultural I'M
plements for the year mentioned by The
Sentinel, was S6S,64O, 1876. The sun of
the cost of labor and raw material is S46,
$780, 1868, leaving profit of 81, 749.521 to
the manufacturers, or S6,3S9,911 more
than was paid out for labor in this partic-
ular line Of manufacture, or over 80 per
| cent on the capital invested, which by
| the census report amounts to 62,lO9,66S.
| This Is even allowing more than The
| Sentinel's assumption that raw material
is chiefly labor, and comedies, for the
sake of argument, that raw material is
| schOliy labor. But the value of products
| does not seem to sustain the theory that
| the manufactured article derives its value
! mainly from the labor in it. Here is raw
| material to the value of S31 ,531, 170 in
| creased in value by means of Sl5,359,61O
| worth of labor, so that it becomes proper
ty to the amount of S68, 640,4S6 and We
are asked to believe that this increase is
mainly due to wages paid labor! The
increase in value is about 240 per cent. of
the cost of labor, and the manufacturers
share of the increase in value is 140 per
cent. of the wages paid labor. And still
the main cost of manufactured articles is
labori What stuff and nonsense.
Had The Sentinel chosen to argue on a
different line it might estimate how much
OF labor is in the material used for agri.
cultural implements, using as basis the
increase in value of raw material used
in manufacturing agricultural nipple
ments from the application of the stated
amount of labor. 1t would arrive at the
following results: Wages in the materia
| used 1881, 531, 100 for agricultural nipple
ments, S9,274,00O; enhancement in value
of the natural product by the application
of the above amount of labor, 2,257, 40
So that the manufacturers of agricultu
raj implements pay out in labor to thu
persons who furnish the raw material
S9,275,00O; and for the raw material
which has no value, we are assured b!

A FAIR QUESTION.

When the republicans reduced the tar
if they called it tariff reform. When the
democrats do the same the republican say
it is free trade. When republican pres
ident vetoes an important pension bill it
Is an act of protection to the veteran.
When Mr.. Cleveland vetoes an important
pension bill it is q reflection upon the
army boys and an unconstitutional as
sumption of power. When republican
Senate proposes to retaliate upon Canada
it is defense OF the national honor.
When Mr.. Cleveland resorts to retaliat-
ion it is buncombe and buster. When
the republicans put civil service into
their platform it is to purify politics.
When Mr.. Cleveland keeps even a few
republicans in Office In accordance with
the civil service rules, it is a sham civil
service. When the republicans would
reduce the surplus by taking the tax off
from the whisky it is high craftsmanship,
but when the democrats would reduce
the surplus by placing the necessities of
life on the free list it is an attack upon
the farmer and the laborer. Now really
isn't 1t fair question to ask whether
the republican stock of hypocrisy charg-
ed upon the democrats will hold ont I'M
till November 6 ?-Springfeld Republic
can.

was a terrible affair. Eldridge has re-

has assumed the leadership of the little

fight into the congressional convention
and created scandal. There was no
reason for bringing Bragg's name in as

The Second district convention VIII

The Second district convention which
opened in such stormy fashion closed in
similar style. Charles Barwig of Dodge
county received the nomination. There
was no dissatisfaction with this result
but the trouble was with the action of
the chairman in administering slap to
Bragg's friends.

IT is said on pretty good authority
that Guenther Will make the run in the

The Second district will do very foolish
thing should it again elect Guenther.

should be conceded republicans in DEM

CRACKED PEA COFFEE.
The Art Of Mixing Chicory and Peas with
Low Grades Of Coffee.


"The adulteration OF coffee is some
thing that can scarcely be prevented" j"
said an ex-grocer merchant to a re-
porter. at is as much adulterated per-
haps as whisky" continued the ex-
grocer. Recently an experiment was
made and forty-eight per cent. OF
eighty-five samples Of coffee analysed
were found to be impure. This pro-
portion does not by any means repre-
sent the exact amount of adulteration
which prevails. Among forty-one
samples of adulterated coffee it was dis
covered that nineteen were mixed with
chicory or other substances free from
starch, while twenty-five, besides nearly
all containing chicory, had considerable
amounts OF roasted grain, peas or beans
in their composition. In every case it
has not been possible to distinguish the
origin of the starch, and 1t is quite pos
sible that some ascribed to roasted
grain, has really been added in the
shape of roasted peas. One of the chief
adulterants of coffee is cracked peas,
and the business is so lucrative it is
shipped to Canada and other places for
the purpose of mixing it with coffee.
There possibly may be some excuse for
using chicory, but the use of roasted
peas Is not to be defended at all. 1t does
not bring for the workingman such 6
reduction in the price as would justify
him in purchasing amixed coffee con-
tanning it, One Of the paradoxies,
soon observed, after went into the
business, was the price of the adulter
ated Is almost as much as the pure stuff
itself. Like other articles that are
pdulterated, it is done so well few buy
ers, unless experienced, can tell the diff
ference. M y Mail and EGpress.
