The Milwaukee Journal is making a
gallant fight against the Randall demo-
Gratis in Milwaukee who want to see
Smith defeated. These so-called demo-
Gratis should not be allowed to dictate
the action of the party in Milwaukee on
a question of national Importance. The
democrats who would permit local jeal-
ousies to jeopardize the cause of tariff
reform do not take that broad view OF
national questions which dignifies party
devotion. The nomination of Smith by
vote in congress for tariff reform. The
nomination of any other man than Smith
makes highly probable one more vote in
congress for the perpetuation OF the
present system of over-taxation. Smith
is in harmony with the democratic party
on the dominating question in issue.
Members of the party outside the Mil
waukee district have right to demand
that Milwaukee democrats act SO as to
the party in congress, in view
of the struggle to take place there. The
democratic party has no interest
IN the petty squabbles of local politicians
and the politicians have no right to make
these local issues paramount to the ques-
ton of tariff reform, the only thing de-
serving attention in this election. Nom
mate Smith and strengthen the party is
the appeal of every democrat who has
the success of tariff reform at heart.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1888-09-20
CONCERNING FREE POTATOES.

An editorial in a Milwaukee morning
paper today with the above heading is
is calculated to deceive the farmer read
ers of that sheet. 1t is indicative of an
idea among the high-taxers that some-
thing must be done to put stop to the
stampede of the farmers to the tariff re-
form party. If anything will do that it
is to first make them believe they are dir
ectly protected now and that the tariff
reform party is trying to take that direct
protection away.
The opening statement OF the article,
that lone of the features of the Mills bills
which is exciting great dissatisfaction
among the farmers of the states adjacent
to Canada, is that it puts potatoes on the
free list" contains a double falsehood.
The Mills bill does not put potatoes on
the free list, and it is nowhere regarded,
this article being the beginning of that
dissatisfaction" The statement is not
only false but willingly so, as there is
nothing connected with the Mills bill or
discussion of it up to this time upon
which to base such misrepresentation.
1t is probably expected that the farmer
who thinks tariff on potatoes protects
him would take the statement as proof
of the charge and thenceforward be Wig
orous IN his opposition to the Mills bill
and the party supporting it. 70 such as
are not thus content the alleged eviden-
ce is introduced.
First comes the only truth in the artic-
lie, sandwiched among a parcel of false
statements most of which are SO foolish as
to be apparent to all except the most ig-
norant. The statement is made that
there is a tariff duty on potatoes OF Is
cents per bushel. That is true. Then
comes the statement that the clause in
the Mills bill putting"bulbs and dubious
roots, not medicinal on the free list in
cludes potatoes, as potatoes are bulb
GUS roots, not medicinal.
The writer of such stuff is clearly be-
tween the Scylla of ignorance and the
Charybdis of Misrepresentation. If he
believes what he writes he is fool. If not
he is a knave. 1t is no compliment to
the most ignorant of the readers of the
paper to expect them to believe it.
People who do not clearly understand
the difference between bulbs. (onions. tul-
FPS. etc. and tubers, potatoes, arrow
root, etc) can easily ascertain it in the
dictionary which is to be found in almost
every household. Webster, after defn-
ing bulb" says in addition that it differs
from a tuber (potato) in not being solid.
1t may be added in this connection
that such plain distinctions as are made
between the two terms are enough to
settle any question of indemnity that
might arise. Every farmer knows that
an onion is bulb, and potato is a tub
er. The Sentinel writer must have been
taking lessons from Farmer Hoard.-MiE-
acdukee Journal.
