ENGLAND is the favorite country for
protectionists to point to as the one
which is to ruin our industries unless
tariff taxes are kept up to the highest
notch. But The Sentinel of Milwaukee
has discovered that danger from Germany
is by no means improbable and in the
matter OF lead which rs a Wisconsin pro-
duct" The Mills bill will ruin the lead
industry. And yet the Mills bill leaves a
high protective tariff on lead. What
more could reasonably be asked than
the following: Lead ore and dross, three
fOurths Of one cent per pound. Lead in
pigs and bars one and one quarter cent
per pound. Lead in sheets, pipe or shot
two and one quarter cents per pound
Or by the ton tie Mills bill reduces the
tax as follows: Lead ore from S25 pei
ton to SO; in pigs and bars from SAC
per ton to $25 per ton; in sheets, pipes OF
shot from $50 per ton to $40. From
these figures it would seem that lead is
pretty well protected and should quiet
the fears Of The Sentinel regarding the
danger from Germany.
The protectionist papers rely upon
misrepresentation to make unpopular
the reduction of the tariff. The remarks
of The Sentinel on the reduction of the
tariff on lead is sample of this. Any
reasonable man viii admit that tax OF
$40 per ton on sheet and pipe lead is all
the protection any extremist could ask
and much moro than in Justice should be
allowed

The Sentinel insists that the plank In
the republican platform does not me an
free whiskey but is In the nature of
mild form of oath that protection must
and shall be maintained. The committee
on resolutions could not have been well
informed on prevailing forms of vigorous
aSseveration. The Sentinel In its exposi-
ton of the plank says, it is as if person
determined to go to Madison should say:
II shall go to Madison if / have to walk"
The person would have no intention of
walking to Madison though his state
ment, taken literally, would indicate that
he would ''hoof it if it became necessary.
But the convention might say with much
more perspicuity and force: I'VE viii
have protection if it takes leg" or simp-
" protection or bust" No one would
suppose that party would prefer "bust-
ing" to abandoning protection and the
expression would be good strong one
and in no way misleading Even the lead
of Old Hickory might proftably be fol-
lowed and the declaration for protection
be prefaced by that vigorous and histori-
cal oath, by the eternal" Jonas Chuz-
zlewit's ''ecod" would be beautifully
appropriate remark; or even the daown
east expletive "Jewhilikins" would be an
improvement on the free whiskey alter
native. The Cockney form, "Baw Jove
we cannot give up protection" would not
be noteworthy for its elegance but ii
would mean just what The Sentinel in
terprets the free whiskey plank of the
| republican platform to mean.
1t is little unfortunate Mckinley
didn't know just how people make asser-
lions strong by the use of good mouth.
filling oaths." His platform is curiosity.
and his attempt at registering an oath
that protection must continue, is not up
to the standard of Jerry Cruncher's "by
blazes."

A Tall Owl Story.

One day last week, when the sheriff
went into the courtroom, in the second
story of the court house, he saw a
strange bird flying about the room,
and awaiting some time to see it alight
in order to see what species of the
feathered tribe it was, stepped to one
corner and seated himself. He sat
there more than an hour, when, TO his
surprise, he discovered that it was an
owl The bird did not cease flying all
that time. 1t remained there over
forty-eight hours, constantly on the
wing, with no seeming desire to rest.
The sheriff opened several of the WIN
dows, and tried to drive the bird out,
but without success. He then got
several upstairs with him to get the
fowl to emerge from the house. This
could not be done. 1t was then
decided to kill the bird. After several
vain efforts Judge Adams succeeded in
knocking it down and killing it. The
house was previously kept shut, and it
is not known how the bird got in I'M
less it was in the following manner:
During the last term of the District
court iuryman came into the court
room with what he supposed to be a
prairie-chicken egg in his hand, which
he put under the stove and forgot it.
Upon looking for the egg the shell was
found there empty, and had all the
appearance of being Matched out.
The bird is almost white. The county
Judge had it stuffed, and has it in his
office to be seen by all.-Mi'sde'g (Iad. }

NEWSPAPERS are supposed TO mould
public opinion and yet on questions af.
fectlng their own interest they are as
silent and helpless as angleworms. In
surance companies invariably discrimi.
nate against newspaper offices, but the
proprietors make no protest. They are
meekness itself in this matter when il
they would act in concert they could
force the insurance companies to do them
justice. The Mills bill took off the tariff
on wood pulp and at once the manufac-
turers of this article brought all their in
Huence to bear on the committee on ways
and means and the tax was restored
The newspapers, with characteristic dis
regard of their own interest, put in no
protest against the petitions of the
pulp manufacturers. 1t will be safe to
wager that at the meeting of the Wis
cOnsin Press Association to be held this
month, not one word of remonstrance will
be heard against the outrageous conduct
OF the insurance companies. The pub
fishers VIII be SO intent upon getting
free grub and passes that they Will have
no time to give to there own legitimate
business. Resolutions of thanks to rail
road companies which gave passes and
to communities which gave lunches will
be adopted, but the eXtortion OF insur-
ance companies will pass unnoticed.

IT Is doubtful whether Blaine will take
a very active part in the present political
campaign. The rumors of Blaine's i'll
health must have some foundation in fact.
Ii his health was the consideration which
made him decline the nomination, it will
certainly operate TO prevent his taking a
very active part IN the campaign. Be
sides, the criticisms to which he was sub
jected by the anti-Blainites must be ey.
asperating to him. particularly when not
one of them would make the sacrifice
which they demanded of him. With
Blaine ont of the campaign there will be
but little enthusiasm on the republican
side, as Harrison is aristocratic and IN.
sympathetic.

New YORK politicians have adopted
the ruinous plan of parceling out the Of
tices on the principle of reciprocity. In
return for the nomination of Morton for
the vlce-presidency, Warner Miller is to

The people receive no consideration in
arrangements of this kind but they have
been known to enter most emphatic pro-
tests about election times and it is not AT
all unlikely they will do so in New York
next fall.
