TUIRMAN'S MISTAKE.

The Madison Democrat defects from
its usual course Of dealing sledge
hammer blows straight from the
shoulder, to perpctrate the following
bit of rich sarcasm at the expense of
our representative in congress, Hon.
Robert NJ. La Toilette:
Generally speaking, the great
speech of "Old Roman" Thurman, at
Port Huron, was success. The sub
stance of it was not new. But the
well known sincerity and proverbial
honesty of Judge Thurman, coupled
with his vast experience, make his
public utteranceS of great value.
But he seems to have made one
great big mistake. He did not agree
with Congressman La Toilette, the
noted speaker demolisher, as to the
effect OF the low tariff of 1916. Ii
should hc remembered that Mr.. La
Toilette made Il speech recently in
which according to the milwaukee,
Sentinel. he vanqushed speaker Car.
Isle; proved that Blaine and Garfield
did not know what they We're talking
about and firmly established the fact
that the Walker" or low tariff act OF
1916 practically annihilated every in
dustry in the United States, and
brought the agricultural classes to the
verge of starvation.
In his speech at Port Huron Judge
Thurman CHANGED to compare the
effects OF that tariff with those of The
tariff we now have.
Il remember it very WE'LL he said
for was then in the house of rep
resentativeS and voted for it," Ant
he then went on to make a comparison
of the ratio Of prosperity under that
the so-called "free-trade tariff Of
forty years ago and the present higl
tarifr which has come down to us as ;
legacy from 4 war which ended nearl,
quarter of n century since.
That under the former farm values
in Michigan increased 2ll per cent. il
single decade 1850 to lS6o-ant
under the latter the increase was onl.
@5t per cent. between 1870 and 1880
Judge Thurmau's friends should poin
out his error to him so that he viii no
repeat it in future speeches.

We have received the two first
numbers of THE GRAPHIC Library.
which have met with a success that
invites the pleasantest anticipations
of the success of the rest of the series.
Number One contains the most con-
else and comprehensive life of Grover
Cleveland ever published, and en-
braces AL his notable state papers. 1t
is illustrated by pictures of the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland, the wedding
AT the White House, Cleveland's birth
place and other interesting places and
events. Number Two present the
great Tariff speech of the Hon. Roger
Q. Mills of Texas, summarizing the
famous Mills bill, and is set off with a
numper of powerful cartoons. Each
number will be made up of sixteen
pages, beautifully printed on paper of
extra weight, SO as to be easily pre-
served. THE GRAPHIC Library will is
sue a new number ever month. and
the series is likely to become highly
interesting and valuable contribution
TO contemporaneous historical liter
allure. 1t is published by the New
Y ork DAILY GRAPHIC.
1t is evident that these publications
were not intended by the publishers
for campaign documents, but the
thorough manner in which they cover
the matters treated cause them to be
of great value in educating the masses
respecting the administration of Pres,
ident Cleveland, and the al-absorbing
|, tariff question. Our local committee
should see that portion of the copies
ordered by the National organization
are placed in their hands for distribu.
ltion among the people of this section

/ The Dodgeville Chronicle.
J superintendent E. j. Perkins, of the
Iowa county asylum and county farm,
has finished stacking $50 acres of
oats on the farm, which made %
large stacks, and he thinks it will
yield fully 40 bushels to the acre.
An infant base ball club came out
| from Mineral Point on Wednesday to
| have a play with our children, and
nine of the Dodgeville infants crawled
out of their cradles and sent them off
pouting in a very short time.
Messers Frederick Wilkison, County
Clerk, and NJ. J. Haisler, chairman of
the board of Supervisors of Milwaukee
county, and c. Helms and A. B.
Adams, committee appointed by the
| county board of Milwaukee county to
select plans for building a county
asylum in that county, were here last
Friday in company with A. f. Elmore,
president, A. o. Wright secretary, and
DIR. j. Ii. Vivian, one of the members
of the state board of charities and
reform, inspecting the Iowa county
asylum. The Milwaukee officials ex-
pressed themselves well pleased with
our buildings, and the system of man
agement adopted, and with slight
changes to adapt them to the require
ments of their county, thought the
plans of the buildings here could be
very proftably used by them.
The Dodgeville Sun.
S. NJ. Davey has sold out his dray
and express line in this village and
has advertised all his other real es-
tate and personal property for sale.
He intends to remove to Alabama in
short time, where he will make his
future home. He will be accompanied
by A. c. Tesche, his father-in-law.
George Otter, living near James
Mill, had the misfortune to lose his
wheat, which was in stack, and his
barn by fire during the past week. BY
hard work he managed to save some
Oat stacks near by. Such loss is a
severe one, after a man has labored
hard for a whole season to get his
grain, and the Sun sympathizes with
Mr.. Otter in his misfortune.
The Monroe Gazette.
The Snyder Brothers have made a
very rich discovery of lead, and are
now opening it, about a mile and
half northwest of Blackford's mill.
This is said to give the best prospect
yet discovered, and it will be developed
as rapidly as possible.

SOME POTENT POINTS.
The s Benefits of the Tariff List
Simplified.

Simplified.
Mr. Blaine says the present gener-
alton must be taught the benefits OF
high protection.
An excellent idea. The New York
Herald seconds the motion.
If a young man buys suit OF
clothes for 1913, the amount of protec-
ton he pays for is 50. The clothes
without protection would cost $l4.
If he buys 81 hat he gets &C
cents worth of hat and 60 cents
worth of protection.
If a young couple just beginning
housekeeping buy a yard of Brussels
carpet for 81 they receive 45 cents in
carpet and 55 cents in protection-or,
say, for a whole room, So worth of
carpet and S10 worth of protection.
With free wool $18 would be saved.
If the young woman pays 50 for a
shawl she gets Sc worth of shawl only;
the other 50 she presents to the man.
ufacturer to protect him.
If she buys dress for $lS she gets
SO dollars worth of dress and Sc dol
lars worth of protection.
If, however, she wants pair of
shoes, which formerly cost $3.50 to
$3.50, she has only to pay $3.50 to
$3.50, according to quality, because
some of the protection" has been
taken off hides from which the leather
in the shoe is made.
If she pays so cents for an iron pot
or pan she gets 30 cents in goods and
20 cents worth of protection.
If she buys a clock for So she re-
ceives 81 worth of clock and 81 worth
of protection.
If she wants sewing machine and
pays $40 for it, she get $ll worth of
sewing machine and 50 worth of pro-
lection.
If she pays SIC for watch, s12 rep
resents the time piece; the other 81 go
to protect somebody.
If she buys lamp for 81 there is
IS cents in lamp and As cents to "keep
the pot boilin " for some protected -"
individual.
If she has to buy range or stove
for $25 she gets $17 in goods and So
in protection.
If she buys dozen steel knives and
forks for $3.50 she gets 81 in knives
and $3.50 in protection.
If she buys a dozen glass tumblers
for 81 she receives in glass SIS cents
and As cents in tariff.
If a young farmer buys 800 worth
of implements to start out in farming
he gets $55 in machines and $45 in
tariff wind-pudding.
If the farmer purchases a barrel of
salt for 81 he gets "a cents in salt,
and pays &c cents in protection to
companies in Syracuse, Warsaw and
Saginaw.

The republicans of Wisconsin doubt
less acted wisely in nominating W.
ID. Hoard for governor. Although not
a practical farmer himself he is quite
popular with the farmers of the state;
and it will require popular candidate
for governor to act rs the tail to the
Harrison Morton high tariff, free
whiskey, free tobacco, free oleomar-
gerine kite, in Wisconsin this fall.
Besides Mr.. Hoard's nomination is a
good Joke on those republican leaders
who fostsred the farmers institute
movement as a stepping stone to po-
litical preferment, but now find them
selves left outside of the keyes-Rublee'
Hoard faction.

James Morgan, of Milwaukee seems

James Morgan, of Milwaukee seems
to have the lead for the democratic
nomination for governor. The Mil
waukee DAILY Journal says: The
democrats of the state seem to think
james Morgan is all right" \ ma
jority of them undoubtedly favor his
nomination as the democratic candi-
date for governor, and it is not I'M
likely that the honor will be conferred
upon him by the convention which
will meet here the week after next.
Mr.. Morgan is a plain, sensible business
man, who has made for himself a
name and fame in Wisconsin of which
any man might be proud. He would
be popular candidate, and if elected
would give the people an administra-
ton that would be satisfactory to cit
liens generally"

THE newspaper entitled to the distinction OF
having the largest daily circulation in America is
THE CHICAGO DAILY News. (Since this state
ment was made it is possible that the growth of
the Nez0 York W0,2G entities it to first place.
The Graphic to-day devotes page to sketches of
scenes in and about its establishment. The his
tory Of this paper is probably without parallel
in the annals of American journalism. 1t was
founded December 10th, 1875, and was the first
low-priced daily successfully established in the
West At the end Of its first year it had achieved
circulation of about 10000. From that time on
its growth has been remarkable 1t now prints
seven editions daily, comprising both morning
and evening issues. Its statement of circulation
for the year 1884 shows daily average OF 1885, I78
COPIES unquestonably the largest daily circulation
on the American continent. The sworn state
ment for 1887 shows daily average of Io5, 376)
In politics The DAILY News is always indie
pendent never neutral. While its editorial ex-
preston is sometimes vigorous to the degree of
severity there is always in its utterances of opinion
so manifest purpose to be impartial and fair to
all opposing interests that it rarely loses the
hdence of the reader, however much it may fail to
bring him to an acceptance of its own view con-
corning the matter in hand.
As newspaper proper, The DAILY News
has earned a reputation for enterprising news
gathering second to none in the United States.
1t is the only cheap paper in the West that is a
member of the Associated Press 1t gives its
readers all the news worth giving and gives it for
two cents. Now it does it for one cent day.
Aside from its own deserving merits as

Although Harper's Magazine for

no signs about it of turning in the scar
and yellow leaf. On the contrary, all
the leaves retain the yigor and fresh
ness of summer to a degree that is
simply fascinating. The fancies of all
classes of readers are catered to-peo-
pie of sentiment, practical, common
sense people, lovers of fun, lovers of
fiction, and lovers of fair women and
brave men. These, and more too, vii
find articles to interest them in this
number. Artistically. the September

much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu-
lation to the persistent adherence on the part
Of the other Chicago dailies to the blanket
sheet style Of journalism. OF all the people in
America the average Chicagoan is most il a hurry
and least inclined to wade through columns of
verbiage and stuff. THE DAILY News is the only
Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all
the news, and at the same time the good sense to
present it in concise form. The result of such
condition of affairs is that THE DAILY NEWS prints
more papers than all the other Chicago dailies
combined.
In considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced so phenomenal jour
nalistc growth the most important one unques-
tionably has been the controlling conviction of its
managers that the "cheap paper should be cheap
only in price, that its news should be as fresh and
complete, its editorial discussion able, and its
general tone and character as pure and heathful
as its best and highest priced contemporary. All
this the cheap paper" may easily be even at its
reduced price.
"The difference Of revenue between the two
cent paper (even more so when the price is one
cent? and the higher-priced blanket-sheet," the
latter throws away in useless and unasked for
size, that not only is Of no worth to the reader
but is even an annoyance in that it compels him
to CLEAN what is Of real news interest from mass
of yerbiage and worthless application
at is because its managers have besn wise
enough to practically recognize these essential
elements of the best American journalism of to-
day that THE DAILY NEWS is the best and most
popular general family newspaper published in
Chicago or the West.
