After the fifth ballot had been

adjourned until o'clock.
While the delegates were leaving the

that Blaine would be nominated by ac-
clamation and by general consent. The

We have shown in these columns that the

death and destruction to two of the great in
terests of the city of Madison, viz: the wooden
mills and boiler and sheet iron manufactures.

You have shown nothing of the kind.
In the first place GROVER CLEVELAND has
never expressed any free trade ideas. In
the next place the ideas he has expressed
would, if carried out, benefit the men en-
gagged in the wooden mills, the boiler and
sheet iron works, and every other legiti-
mate industry in Madison. Perhaps the
Courier doesn't know that the proprietor
of the largest boiler works in Indiana
Mr.. john II. BASS of Fort Wayne-a
man by the way, who, in twenty-five
years experience as a manufacturer,
never had strike or lock-

hearty supporter of GROVER CLEVELAND

A Great Moral Issue.

The internal revenue tax on whisky has
probably done more, since its adoption,
than any or all other agencies combined
to promote sobriety and temperance among
the people. BY largely increasing the cost
of whisky it has greatly diminished its
consumption, and in this way has proved
more effective than prohibition which
doesn't prohibit, or high license, or local
option or any other method that has been
employed to restrain the use of liquor.
According tot recently published treasury
report the consumption of whisky in the
United States last year was SO, S53, POI gal
Ions, a decrease of 6,541, 217 gallons from
1876. 1t is estimated that Is per cent of
the quantity CONSUMED in 1877 was used
in the arts, leaving about 81 500, 900 gallons
as the amount used as beverage, or less
than one gallon per capita for the popula-
ton of the United States.
The Chicago Tribune, in commenting on
these figures, SAYS:
Now contrast this with the statistics of whisky
consumption in the era of cheap whisky be
fore the war. In 1860 the total consumption
OF spirits was 9,96S, 651 gallons. A smaller
proportion Of alcohol was used in the arts and
manufactures in 1860 than in 1887. Estimating
for what was used in the arts there was drank
about two and half gallons per capita. The
consumption in 1887 was therefore but IS per
cent of the consumption in 1860 That is to
say, in the era of cheap, untaxed whisky the
consumption of that article was 81 per cent
more than it is now. Ii is not surprising under
the circumstances that most intelligent people
regard the federal tax on alchohol as one of the
greatest moral and temperance measures ever
adopted by any legislature.
The whisky tax ought TO be retained, in
the interest of the public morals, even if
it cost every penny that it yields for col
lection. The democratic party says that
it ought to be and shall be retained, and
that the proceeds shall be set apart for the
payment of pensions to the veteran sol
diers and sailors of the Union, and to
their widows and orphans. The republi-
can party says it shall DE abolished in or
der that the extortionate and oppressive
taxes levied on food, and clothing, and
fuel, and shelter, and tools, and medicines
In the interest of monopoly shall be per-
petuated.
This is one of the chief issues of the
pending campaign.
Down with monopoly taxes!

passed the manufacturers will have to re-
duce the price OF starch to the people AZ
per cent. The manufacturer it will be
seen, admits that the duty is added to
the price OF the domestic article. We
have shown that his calculation is
wrong and that the.reductlon would not
exceed % 1-2 per cent. But his admission
that taking off the duty will reduce the
price OF starch to the amount of the re-
duction, is an admission that the present
tax of nearly 100 per cent. is paid, not
only on every pound OF starch that is i'm
ported, but on every pound that is con-
sumed, including the entire domestic pro-
duct. We leave the Journal to fight it
out with the anonymous manu-
facturer who is furnishing campaign liter
ature to the republicans, and when it has
done with him we should like TO have 1t
tell us how a reduction of the starch duty
can possibly injure the starch manufac-
turer, if cutting down the duty does not
cut down the price OF starch. We are
willing to wager dollar against dough-
nut that the Journal will not tackle
this conundrum. 1t will just pass it by in
silence, as it has some thirty or forty
others which THE SENTINEL has pro-
pounded to it on this tariff question.
The Journal also saws:
THE SENTINEL further says that in the event
of the Mills bill becoming law starch would
be reduced in price about one-fourth, "no part
of which would come out of the wages of labor.
but would come out of the profits of the man.
ufacturer" Go tell such nonsense to the
marines The starch industry in America has
more than quadrupled its product in decade
under protection, until now the American CON-
petition has reduced prices of starch to point
where profits are very small. If the Mills bill
should become law the effect would be 10
admit large quantities of foreign starch, which
would obviously displace that much American
starch in our own market, and either close our
factories or put them on reduced time.
If the Journal will consult the census re-
turns it will find that the labor cost of
American starch in 1880 amounted to only
II per cent OF the product. The Mills
bill lays a duty exceeding AZ per
cent on starch, about four times the entire
labor cost. We have the word of the
leading starch manufacturer of Indiana
that he is not afraid of any competition in
the world with protection OF AZ per cent.
Again we inquire ''what kind of cause
is this that needs to be bolstered up by
such silly and preposterous falsehoods?"
Down with monopoly taxes.
