Is THE discussion of the tariff Issue
carried on in an ingenious manner? Are
the participants anxious always to find
the truth and to acknowledge error when
it is exposed, or are they looking for
specious pleas to defend their side of the
question? The average newspaper does
not look for truth; it is merely an advo-
cate chosen to defend one side of the
issue and will connive at all means em-
ployed to win the debate, without study
ing the respective merits of both sides
of the question.

A HORRIBLE accident occurred in Me
nasha last week. During the burning of
a mammoth paper mill an explosion took
place In which a huge mass of hot iron
was sent hurting into a crowd beholding
the flames. The missile cut swath of
death as it swept along. Fifteen persons
were killed instantly, their bodies in
many instances being horribly mutilated,
while several were seriously, if not fatally
injured. The city suspended all labor
and. put on mourning for the unfortunate

CONTRAST the special message of Cleye-

hurled by Jim Blaine some years ago
while he was secretary of state. The

Is IT not strange that of all the papers
that have condemned the President for
allowing the river and harbor bill to be-
come a law by lapse of the constitutional
period, not one has attempted to point
out an Questionable feature in the law
This pleads either absolute inability to
do so through mere want of knowing
what the la. contains, or else shows pure
hypocrisy and demagogism.

To THE CITIZENS OF MANIToWoC:-
The best time to tap the main water
pipes for service pipes to be laid to
the premises of consumers is during
the time that the main pipes are be-
ing laid in the streets, and while the
works are under construction. The
trenches can then be all filled back
properly and the streets made uni
form. Parties wanting water should
make application at once at the
Water Works Cos. office on Eighth
street, near the bridge, where all in
formation will be cheerfully given
Consumers making application now
will not be called upon for water
rents until they have actually entered
upon its use.
We have established a PLUMBING
BUSINESS and are prepared to do first
class Plumbing Work at low prices.
Parties wishing such work will do
well to call, or drop postal, so that
they will be prepared for the water
when it is turned on.

FREE RAW MATERIALS.

Philadelphia Record: The advantages
to manufacturers and consumers OF free
raw materials are so obvious that thu
protectlonists are hard pressed for aIgu-
ments against the repeal of the duties on
wool, salt, iron ore, jute, copper ore,
lumber, coal, ct caters. Our esteemed
contemporary the Press undertakes to
break the force Of the argument for free
wool by showing that the production Of
woolens Ia increasing faster, despite 8
tax on raw wool, than the production Of
the cotton mills, though the latter are
aided by untaxed cotton. It hardly dares
to go the length of asserting that tax
on the crude material of manufacture Is
an advantage, but it tries to prove that
the wool tax is no disadvantage. To do
this it shows that the product of the
wooden mills increased ON 1870 to 1880
S49, 5l4. oSs, while the product of the cot
ton mills increased only $42. AGO, 644. But
the Press neglects to state material diff
ference In the products of cotton and
wooden mills. The cotton mills turn ou,
cotton stuffs from raw cotton. The
wooden mills turn out "woolens" from 8
variety of raw material. Nearly SIS, 0o0,-
900 worth of cotton goes into the
"woolen" goods, and almost as large q
value OF shoddy. This should be consid-
cred In any comparison Of the two indus
tries The Press is guilty of grosser
mistake In substituting the amount of
raw wool consumed in 1881 for the
amount consumed in 1880, the difference
being over c6,ooo.ooo pounds, which
makes 3 sad breach IN Its comparative
study of the question OF raw material.
Though cotton is grown in this country
the price paid tor 1t is fixed by the price
in England, where the bulk OF our surplus
is sold. We, therefore do not enjoy any
advantage Of moment over English man
our inland transportation be-
ing as costly as their ocean freights.
When their improved machinery shall
have been introduced into our southern
mills it is altogether probable that Ameri-
c N cottons may be aole to compete with
English cottons in whatever market they
may be offered At present we are hsndi-
capped in every direction by our restyic.
