TYPE-FOUNDERS' TRUST.


interesting FactJ for Editors VINO Arc
Howling for High Tariff.
Perhaps those newspapers which be-
licye that the tariff as it is is divine
institution, to propose a change in
which is treason to country and party,
may be interested in the following
statement of facts, printed IN the Free
born county Standard:
We have been favored with circular from
firm OF type-tounders which, although highly
interesting, is wrongly entitled. 1t is entitled
important Notification" whereas it should he
STAND and Deliver Without the least cx
PLANTATION in the way OF Justification or reason,
and without any ceremony, IL briefly and bold
ly says: AT the fifty-siXth meeting of the
Type Founders Association Of the United
States at New York April IL and II, 1855, the
following advance in rates, to take effect on
and after May !, 1883, was unanimously adopt
ed" Then follows scale of prices twenty per
cent. in advance of the present prices. The
profits Of type-making are now fully fifty per
cent. there has been no advance in cost of
material or in the price of labor, there is not an
increased demand, and this twenty per cent
advance is simply robbery of so much more
than this organized gang of plunderers have
heretofore eXacted. 1t is impossible for pub
fishers and printers to advance rates, owing to
the natural and active competition between
them, and in consequence they must stand
and deliver"
With one exception this is wholly
and literally true. There has been
some increase in the cost of the ma
terial of which type is made There
is Il notable advance in tin, under the
operations of n trust" and an in
crease in the price of other metals less
important as factors in type-making.
But these changes. which are given as
the alleged reason for advancing list
prices of type, are by no means sufli-
cient to warrant the action of the
"cCmbine." If any one inquiries how
it is able to levy this new tribute on
the American newspaper, and, through
it, on the American public, he will find
it in the following explanation by the
Standard: Under the tariff this con-
spiracy against fair and honest trade,
denominated an American industry,
is protected by II tax of % per cent. on
type. 20 per cent. on type metal, =
cents per pound on lead, 10 per cent.
on anthony, 20 per cent. on tin and
4 cents per pound on copper"
If it were not for these duties the
monopoly OF American type-founders
could not stand for day. The type.
makers of Europe are making fortunes
at the business, while their prices are
so far below those exactcd by
the combination of this coun-
try that every purchaser of a
printing outfit could save hun
dred!s of dollars if he were permitted
to buy in the cheapest market. Nor
does the benefit of this increased cost
to the American public give any adj
vantage to labor. The work of type
making is done very largely by a0omen
anil children. They are paid the lo,oest
current market rate Of '0GgeS, differing
little from that prevailing in other
countries The whole number Of FIRMS

engaged in the business in the United
States is only about eight or ten. And
the managers of these arc able to get
together as they have done, and, by
the help of the tariff, to advance their
prices enormously, not ono penny of
the increase going into the pockets of
labor Every newspaper in the coun-
try must pay this tribute. Every
reader of a newspaper is affected by
the price which he must pay for sub
scription and advertising. Every man
who has q hand-bill or poster printed
must contribute his share to the inor-
dinatc profits of the manufacturer of
type. This is how an Interchangeable
tariff works in 4 particular instance.
1t might be worth while for those who
feel the burden in this case to look into
the working of tariff laws in other par
ticulars, and see whether taxes high
enough to foster such monopolies arc
an unmixcd blessing. ST. Pau! Pho

tended. Scheller obtained first fall in
catch-as-catch-can, and Moth second fall
in Gr@co-Roman In the third bout,
eatch-as-catch-ca Scheller's heel was
held and twisted by Moth to that extent
that Scheller cried out with pain and
fairly begged to be released from the vice
Ike grip of his adversary, which made
the affair rather brutal and cruel exhi-
bition of muscle and strength. This part
of the programme not down on the bills
virtually put an end to the match and
Moth was declared the winner. The sum
and substance is that in contest with
Moth, Scheller's quickness, celebrity
and nimbleness, stand no show against
Moths greater muscular development
apd strength, and we have probably seen
the last of their trials here.

The above subject of the lecture to be
delivered by Rev. Geo. w. Pepper, pastor
of the NJ E. church of Ashland, Ohio, at

February 8, is one of absorbing interest
at the present tine and large audience

prominent theme handled by one we'll
versed in the question chosen. Rev. Mr..
Pepper has attained great success as q
lecturer and the opportunity to listen to
him should be embraced by all. He is
not alone an eloquent champion of the
cause Of bis native land, but has attested
his fealty to this, his adopted country, by
bravery on the battle field when the flag
was in danger. Let there be a hearty
greeting to Mr.. Pepper by all classes of
our citizens Wednesday evening next.

Second District Matters.

Gen. Bragg, Notwithstanding his ap-
pointment as minister to Mexico. il is
said, wants a seat in congress, this line of
duty being more in accordance with his
tastes and aspirations. His appointment
pays him $4,000 year, but his friends
believe $4,000 a year as congressman
would pay him better. 1t is reported
that Bragg obtained the Mexican prize
because Villas wanted to Danish him from
the state, Bragg, if he remained here, be-
ing quite apt to upset some of the plans
of the Cicero of the Vest If Bragg
remains out of the field, there will be no
lack of candidates, careful enumeration
up to date embracing the following:
Dodge county,. T. Flavin of Emmett;
Judge Sloan, of Beaver Dam; Judge Lam
oreaux, of Mayville; E. G. Lewis, of Ju-
neau; Il. w. Lander, Of Beaver Dam.
Washington county-Patrick o. Meara,
of West Bend; Judge 81. w. Sawyer, of
Hartford.
Waukesha county-D. Fl. Sumper, of
Waukesha; DIR. Rice, of Merton; Ell. NJ.
Ackley, of Oconomowoc.
Commenting on this subject, The Sen
tinel OF Monday says:
With Bragg and Delaney out of the
fight, the candidates most likely to come
to the front are j. T. Flavin, of Dodge,
Patrick O'Mrara, of Washington, and H.
W. SAWYER, of the same county. Mr..
Flavn is school superintendent of Dodge
county, and is reputed to stand high in
the good graces of Secretary VIM. F. Villas.
He was the acknowledged leader of the
| Delaney forces at the Waukesha conven-
| ton two years ago, and at one time, when
| the three candidates in the field had lock
ed horns in such manper that it seemed
! impossible to extricate themselves, a COM
| binatlon was nearly effected that would
have led to his nomination. He would
probably have little trouble in securing
the Dodge county delegation, as Judge
Sloan and Judge Lamoreaux are negative
candidates, if they are candidates at all
Judge Sloan's friends in this city think be
wouldn't accept a nomination, even j
rendered him, as he can be reelected
Judge of his circuit as often as he desires
without opposition. Besides, he was in
congress for term or two a good many
wears ago and was not pleased with life
| in Washington. Judge Lamoreaux ii
not looked upon as pronounced candi
date, either.

from the choir and friends of the church
in appreciation of his able and valuable
services. The presentation address was
made by Miss Fannie Malloy and the
response was painfully brief the surprise
on Mr.. G. being so very complete. The

Supposed Suspended Animation.

Supposed Suspended Animation.
The body of Miss Alice Bub, whose
death and burial are recorded elsewhere
in this issue, was exhumed yesterday
morning from its resting place in st.
Henri's cemetery and the remains taken
to the home Of the parents of the de-
ceased. Her life-like expression and APP
pearaDce after death, ruddy lips and
flushed cheeks, caused a feeling of
suspicion, as it was natural it
should, that the vital spark had
not left the body, and that perhaps it
might prove case of suspended anima
ton. AS she continued to show the ap-
pearance described, Monday morning,
shortly before the time appointed for the
interment, the parents called in one Of
our old physicians for his opinion. He
declared the girl dead, but stated that in
his judgment the vital spark had left the
body only that morning instead of four
days before. The funeral was held as
appointed, but after the burial the matter
so preyed upon the minds of the parents,
and especially the mother, that the ex-
huming of the body took place to satisfy
their uneasy feelings and anxiety. The
body was kept in the house until 5 o'clock
in the afternoon, when it was inferred,
in the meanwhile being watched with
that earnest solicitude and vigilance that
can only come from fathers and mother s
love and affection for their child.
There is considerable excitement in the
community over this singular affair and
of course few believe that it was case of
suspended animation; the impression
generally prevailing that death had
occurred when first pronounced last
Thursday morning. No one, how
ever, possessed of parental feeling can
blame the afflicted parents for clinging
to every hope held out that life might not
be extinct in the body of their loved one.
