IT is. now generally conceded that
General Bragg will be appointed to the
Mexican mission. 1t must make the
"little general" feel happy when he re-
fleets how unanimously the people of his
state indorse him, particularly as it is
tribute to his honesty, ability and IN
dependence. No man ever secured posi-
ton who stood more on his dignity and
importuned less. No man ever achieved
popularity less through the demagogues
path. And this and his brains are the
secret of Bragg's strength. He has done
things which would kill politician and
bury beyond hopes of resurrection the
man who gained prominence by counting
favor.

TIE Milwaukee Sentinel of Saturday

THE Milwaukee Sentinel of Saturday
publishes a list of articles whose price
has been considerably reduced since 1860,
the period of high tariff. 1t attributes
the reduction to high tariff because ''the
tariff stimulates home manufacturers and
this leads to local competition and to
labor saving inventions that would never
be produced otherwise" all of which
results In low prices to the consumer.
It also vouchsafes the information that
s'the prices of clothing are lower In the
United States than in any other markets
in the world
Now will The Sentinel have the kind
ness to answer the following questions
suggested by its tabulation and COM
ments:
1. How does the price of wheat before
high tariff times compare with the price
now? Is the reduction to be attributed
to high tariff?
2. How does the reduction in prices
in this country under the high tariff,
compare with the reduction in England
under free trade?
3. If prices of clothing are "less in the
United States than in any other markets
in the world where is the necessity of
continuing the high tariff? Must 1t be
not true that we have reached that period
of adolescence when the term infant
industry is misnomer?
4. How does it come if our prices are
so much lower than in other markets that
our commerce with countries geographic
ally more favorably situated for trade
with us, is vastly inferior to that of Eng
land with these countries?
). If our prices are SO much lower
than those of England, for instance, how
are our laborers protected?
The Pilot appreciates the natural
reluctance of any paper like The Sentinel
| with a large clientage to discuss any
| question suggested by a local paper
| The Sentinel has been too often unmind-
! full of its dignity and standing in doing
battle with unworthy opponents, and The
Pilot, in propounding these questions
has no purpose to secure little cheap
notoriety by provoking discussion with
a paper of acknowledged standing. But
the free trade readers of The
| Sentinel would like to have these incon
sistencies in the arguments used by
protectionists explained,-if indeed they
are susceptible of explanation. They
desire the explanation to be in harmony
with reason, not ingenious evasion. vii
The Sentinel give proof of its conviction
by the perspicuity of it's explanation?

been misunderstood and that Cleveland
may send supplementary message adj
vising the removal OF taxes from tobacco
and whiskey. With Randall the wish is
father to the thought. But Cleveland
will send no such message. The people

doctrine that whiskey and tobacco are
