What Injured Irish Trade.
Hon. Patrick \. Collins.

When Harrison stands deliberately
as he did the other day and talks for
the country, by telling how it is in
iured by free trade, and all the orators
set forth how Ireland has been injured
by British free trade, | do not rely in
any particular upon the information
of any republican plenipotentiary or
emissary. | go to John Mitchell. If
besides the devastation of the land by
Cromwell and the dark history of
Ireland in past centuries, during which
her industries We're ruined, l desire to
know what has caused the ruin of
Ireland, l turn to page seventeen of
John Michell's history, in which l
find that Ireland was not injured by
free trade but by the repression of
any trade ut all. 1t isn't worth the
while for our republican friends to in
dulge in lying when the truth has
overtaken them SO suddenly. You
have heard of the man, Napier Tandy,
who wore the green as commander of
the volunteer artillery in 1872, who
fought for Ireland's legislative indie
pendence. at the mouth of the British
guns. for. :. free trade Or leaving
it TO be imagined what the alternative
might be. After Ireland secured her
legislative independence she became
more prosperous than eve before for
a period of eighteen years, until the

or is now, wicked, scandalOus or abom-
Unable. We have reason to believe
that many of those who have heretofore
voted the Prohibition ticket have come
to the T'ribune's way of thinking on
this question and are coming back to
the Republican party-the only party
that is powerful enough, or is ever
likely to be powerful enough, to cope
successfully with its rummy and row.
dy adversary, the Democracy. The
falling off of the third party votes in
Vermont and Maine is only " sign of
the times The third party, we can
didly believe, has seen its best DAYS.
No large number Of the people of this
country can for a long time be de
luded by a shadow or by an ignis IA
tuus, even when it presents itself in
the form of a moral principle; they
are too much in the habit of thinking
for themselves to be hOpelessly misled,
even in matters where their best sym
pathies and their profOundest moral
convictions tend to the side of that
which in abstract theory is right but in
practice is both inexpedient and in
feasible.
Is it not both ridiculous and vicious |
for a public journal to make such
broad and sweeping charges against
the democratic party, which at every |
general election casts about one-half !
Of the total vote. DO not such charges
'ellect upon the whole country? Out |
upon such narrow minded pharisa-
cal spirit! The Democrat does not be-
ieye that outside Of the Office of The
Tribune can there be found a man in

Those who are not personally ac-
quainted with James Morgan, the
democratic nominee for Governor of
| Wisconsin, have at least heard of him
as the honest, successful and popular
Milwaukee merchant Born in Grief,
Perthsire, Scotland, March 81, 1041,
after receiving a good, common school
education, young Morgan served an
apprenticeship to the dry goods bust
ness in his native place, subsequently
being engaged for nearly a year in
Edinburgh and about three years in
Glasgow in the same business. In
1868, he came to America, and OBJ
tanned employment with a dry goods
house in Peru, III. There he remained
three years, afterwards having charge
OF the same firms branch store period
of twelve months in Ottawa, ILL.,, leav-
ing Ottawa, Mr. Morgan went to Free
I''i I, LIZ " ItlN lit DCCdDlt al IICllDtT
of the dry goods firm of Best & Morgan.
In lS47, he severed his business con
nection in Freeport, and removed to
Milwaukee, where, after considerable
uphill work and much Encouragement,
he laid the foundation of a business
which to-day is second to none in the
state, and which is a proof of what can
be accomplished by indomitabIe pluck,
steady perseverance and answering
honesty.
Mr.. Morgan invariably gives his
personal attention to his business mat
tiers, and the numerous people of all
shades Of politics who call to congratu-
late him on his nomination and certain
election, find him engaged among those
many articles with which he is prepar-
ing to delight the public. He is a hard
worker himself, is emphatically one of
the people, and is the steadfast friend
of all who work. He has no political
aspirations, and that probably is one
reason why his nomination was SO per
slstently and unanimously urged
There was never known a clearer case
of the office seeking the man, not the
man the office.
Mr.. Morgan inaugurated the plan of
selling goods by sample, and as every
single article was found to be lust as
it was represented, his success in his
mail order department has become
unparalleled. And not only
so, but his well established integrity in
this respect has made his many country |
customers regard him more in the
light of friend, than of a merchant. |
Though not by any means politi-
clan, in the ordinary sense of the word. |
Mr. Morgan has sound and strong
ideas on tariff reform, the rights of la /
Dor, and Il hundred questions which af-
feet the best interests of the toiling
masses. His election will be a credit
to our state, and we shall have a gov
ernor of whom we may be justly proud, |
and who will most certainly run the .
affairs of State on business principles
and for the benefit of all classes.

Theory of the Glowing or Diyining
Rod"

The popular belief is, that the Dow
zing rod as held by most miners to To-
cate crevices, or mineral-bearing ffS
sures, has its foundation in scientific
fact Each human system has mag
netic poles-one positive and the other
negative-anda as the earth is great
magnet, drawing all things to its cen
ter of attraction, it follows that the
electric current passing from the one,
is in perfect harmony with the mag
netic phenomena of the other. Now,
it is a true theory, that some persons
have the positive pole in the head, and
the negative in the feet, and vice YER
sa. In order that the I" dowZer should
be in perfect harmony with the mag
netic condition, or phenomena OF the
earth, the head, if it possess the pos
tive pole, should be directly over the
fork Of the rod, and the arms OF the
rod held firmly in the hands of the
operator, so as to feel the force of the
magnetic equilibrium, the positive
pole of the person pulling inWards,
and the negative outvards. But if
the person has little iron in the system,
the blood and nerves fail to become
magnetically in RAPPORT with the EARTH
for the reason of not being magnetic
enough, to give magnetic direction to
the poles.
We have drawn these conclusions
from the reading of an experiment re-
Gently made by the French Academy
of Science upon the body of a guillo-
tined man, proving that each human
system, is in itself, an electric battery,
one eIectrode being represented by the
head and the other by the feet. JNo c.

On Monday last some democrats Of
DodgeYile tried to arrange with the
officers Of the Harrison and Morton
club of that place for joint discussion
between J. Il. Doe, Jr., Of GAINESVILLE.
who was in attendance at the circuit
court, and Ogden II. Fethers, who
was advertised to speak there on Mon
day evening. But the offer of The
willy democrats was not accepted, and
they arranged for a for meeting to
be held on Tuesday evening and in
vited Mr.. Doe to reply to Mr.. Fethers.
The meeting was held at the Park
rink and was largely attended. Mr..
Doe began by saying that he was ex-
pccted, as had been announced, to
reply to the speech of the evening
previous. He had listened to Mr..
Fethers, but heard very little of inter
est or Importance to reply to. How
ever, he took up several statements
of Mr.. Fethers, and in Il clear, can
did and convincing manner, showed
the fallacy and the direct untruths con
tanned in them Afther pretty thor
oughly plucking Fethers, he passed to
the main issue of the campaign-the
tariff. This subject the speaker
handled with marked ability and fair
ness, explaining in a most learned
manner the injury of high protection
to the masses, and the benefit derived
from it by the manufacturers, monop-
olics and trusts. He demonstrated
most clearly that American manufact-
ured articles, the cost of which is
mostly labor can be exported and sold
at a profit. In speaking of the vast
profits that manufacturers derive from
high protection, Mr.. Doe read a sig
niliicant letter from Senator Edmunds
to the president of the Republican
League, which created quite sensa-
ton. He made a very logical and
convincing argument throughout, and
was attentively listened to by a large
and intelligent audience for over two
hours. The speaker closed 10y repre-
scnting the candidates of the two
parties as two commercial houses.
under the names Grover Allen, dealer
i'll cheap blankets and provisions, and
benjamin Levi, dealer in shoddy and
free whiskey, and left the audience to

dress was pronounced by several re
pubIcans to be one of the fairest they
ever heard
