So far from its being free trade, the
most striking thing about the Mills
bill is that it is the most moderate
reduction of tariff duties That has
ever been attempted in this country.
The average duty levied under the
present tariff is AZ per cent, and un-
der the Mills bill the average would
be about 40 per cent, reduction of
Z per cent. upon all commodities
taken together. Of course there are
some things upon which the duty is
reduced more. For instance, the
duty is taken off number of ar
ticles called raw materials, which are
used by manufacturers in their work
in the fabrication of their products.
And rs they receive this great bene-
fit of having their raw materials free,
or with comparatively small duty,
the bill wisely provides that the arti-
cles manufactured by them when
brought into the country shall pny n
lower rate of duty than they did be.

THE TARIFF AND WAGES.

Artemus Ward once asked stran.
ger in Toledo: "Say, friend, can you
tell me where can get square meal
for quarter7"
"Oh, yes" said the man addressed;
'sright over across the street."
sHold on" said Artemus, as The
other turned to walk Cd; lone more
question: Can you tell me where
can get the quarter?"
Mr.. Ward, on the lookout for his
breakfast, was very much in the pc.
sition of the Grand Old Party. She
would like to make q square meal off
the labor vote. doesn't the Tariff
make wages higher in this county
than they are in free trade Englandg'
shrieks the Old Lady.
"Oh, yes,' respond the Ready
Reckoners; wages in this country
are double the amount of British
wages"
"Ono thing more, you rascals Can
you find me any blooming idiot who
will believe that the tariff makes the
difference 2"
There is no report of what answer
Artemus got to his last inquiry from
the citizen of Toledo; but esteemed
contemporaries arc on the diligent
lookout for the blooming idiots who
believe that high wages and low
wages depend upon the tax rate.
There are high wages in New York
and low wages in North Carolina,
both States enjoying the same be-
nignant rates of custom house taxa.
zion. There are high wages paid in
Kensington and low wages paid for
the same work in Fall River. There
are high wages in some parts of the
United States and low wages in
some parts of England-the United
States having protective tariff and
England a revenue tariff. The rate
OF wages is higher in England than
in Germany or France or Russia. al
though the labor of the thiee latter
countries is highly protected. =
Again, the rate of wages is higher in
Australia than in the United States,
although Australia is blessed with n
multiformity of tariffs, both high
and low.
BY what corkscrewing method Of
reasoning do they expect to SO put
their readers asleep that they shall
overlook these notorious facts ANY
chit big enough to go to school
knows that q three-cent apple is
denrer than two cent apple. 1t
does not require a greater breadth
of intellect to understand that the
only way in which tariffs affect wages
is i'll the extent of their influence in
raising OF lowering the cost of living

The attempt is made to divert the
attention of the people from the evils
of such scheme of taxation by
branding those who seek to correct
these evils rs free traders and enc

Polite Attention,

Moses M. Strong, famous political
leader, dating back as such from ear
ly territorial times. Mr.. Strong we
believe has attended Episcopal
Councils every year from the first
held in Wisconsin. His voice has
always been on the low church side,
and at Milwaukee he resolutely voted
No, when the motion was put to
make the nomination of the Bishop
elect unanimous. There were other
prominent veterans in the Council,
Doth clergymen and laymen. Dur
ing the excitement that ruled in the
course of the proceedings, there
we're intimations that three of the
Milwaukee churches would withdraw
from the diocese if the Cathedral
candidate should be elected; but
here was probably no serious inten-
ion of this kind; when cooler mo-
nents prevail all will be calm again.
The Council having continued in ses-
sion until Thursday afternoon, final
y effected an election of Bishop by
4 majority of one vote. and that of
ay member. Rev. Cyrus F. Knight.
Of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is the
chosen man. He is a native of Bos-
Ton, So years of age, and is described
as an able preacher and man of
splendid literary attalnments. Sala-
~ fixed, ST. year. The excited
,tate of feeling that characterized
some of the proceedings Of the Coun-
I'll were nothing unusual: human
nature is the same everywhere. Re
igious bodies of all creeds where
there is liberty of opinion, are liable
to scenes here described. The re-
ult of the Council is claimed a trl-
1mph for the Cathedral party, but
his may not be. The vote of
he delegates from this city on can
lidates was distributed during the
proceedings, but on the final ballot
were for Cyrus F. Knight, the elect
I'd candidate.

Christmas.

According to custom Christmas,
which is now close at hand, is a day
generally noticed in more than ordin-
airy way by most people. But what
special object the great majority have in
view in giving the day attention it is
difficult to say. Certainly there is no
uniform purpose. The children regard
it time Of expectation: in this they are
better agreed than grown up people; the
juveniles look for toys and keep-sakes.
The grown up people take pleasure in
anticipating good dinner A grea
change has come over the people of this
country in the manner Of observing
Christmas since the beginning Of the
present century. 1t was once day de
voted generally by religious and mora
people to the commemoration of thu
birth Of Christ, and with this end in
view they assembled in the churches.
This method Of observing Christmas
still holds as in ages past in the coun
tries Of Europe, but in this country it
has fallen largely into disuse in mos'
churches, except the Episcopal and
Catholic. In some cities Christmas
confusion and senseless racket has beer
so unbearable to some persons that they
left the city on the day before Christ
mas and returned the day after Christ
mas This was true of the city o.
Washington; but it is stated that yea'
ago the authorities aucceeded in putting
stop to these pandimoniums. In this
western country various kinds of games
and amusements come in for share o.
Christmas day, among which turke,
raff1es have been popular. 1t seems al
most sacreligious to ask what there car
be in the natal day Of the Savior to sug
gest shooting match or turkey rattle.

Hang Murderers.

It is already announced that bill
will be introduced in the next legisia-
ture providing for return to capital
punishment. Il will be the signal for
every sentimental gusher in the state to
open his or her eyes and elevate them
heavenward in holy horror and de-
nounce it as most heartless and cruel
measure; but Wisconsin can we'll afford
TO let those sentimental gushers raise
their eyes and groan. in view of the fact
that the state is paying large sum,
every year, for the care of 60 or 70 bru-
al, cold blooded murderers who are
spending their time in ease and comfort
at Waupun; in view of the fact that
murders are constantly increasing in the
state; in view of the fact that some
thing ought to be done to check whole
sale numbering. That was a very good
law they had great many years ago

by Rev. Thompson, Messrs. Calkins,
Charles, Strong and Van Ingen. Our

stance as found in the papers. 1t
was doubtless as exciting Council
of the Episcopal church as has be-
fore been held in the diocese. There
were in the outset half dozen can
didates, representing various phases
of the church; the extremes were the
high church or Cathedral party, and
the moderate church party. Between
these two opposites the contest was
carried on with various success

Never before in this city has there
been as large an assortment and at

now. Dealers in almost all kinds OF

necessity this year for people to &C
