SAVED EIGHT MEN.

Hardly had the band of ressuers completed their work at this point before another ves- sel was discovered on the rocks about an eighth of mile away but farther from shore than the Cox and Green. Hurriedly rushing their apparatus to the nearest available loca- tion they found that the distance was too great to allow the use of the brooches buoy and the surf boat was quickly manned. The waves were tremendous, and it was only after hard and persistent struggle that the vessel was reached, their boat twice swanping. The boat WAS at last brought under the vessels bow and the crew of eight men swung them selves into it. The return to shore was 6 perilous trip, the boat filling several times, but it was finally thrown upon the beach among the rocks by huge wave and entirely smashed. Fortunately the water was shall low at this point and the occupants easily waded ashore. This vessel was the Gertrude Abbott, Captain Thompson, Philadelphia for Boston, coal The vessel is in good condis ton and everything standing, and will prob ably be saved when the storm abates.

THE SENATE RITZ,

A synopsis of the senate tariff bill Is
published. The bill is simply outrageous
and that any party can go before the
country and be successful on such an
issue is beyond belief. 1t reduces the
revenue of the government S75,0o0,ooo.
But notice on what articles: Sugar, S27,-
759, 600; tobacco, S24, 100000, Alcohol,
100000; Free list, S6,0oo,o00.
As is well known the tax on sugar
is purely revenue one, bringing $780,
100000 to the government. The con-
sumner of sugar in paying the tax had
the satisfaction of knowing that the tax
went to the government. But think of
reducing the tax on tobacco to the
amount of S24, 100000 and refusing to
lessen the duty on wooden goodsl The
bill actually raises the duty on some
classes of wooden goods.
There is no attention paid to the de-
mand for cheaper necessaries. The billEs
an insult to the intelligence of the Amer.
lean people and should teach them that
nothing in the way of relief can be ex
pected from the republican party, except
in tobacco and alcohol. There would bt
some merit in the reduction of the tax or
sugar but for the fact that it is almost
wholly a revenue tax, and that the
amount of revenue is due more TO the
large importations than to the rate OF the
tax

Water Works Go.

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 Co.'S. 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.

AND now Harrison is in trouble over a

AND now Harrison is in trouble over a
speech which he delivered in Illinois
some years ago. An Irishman one of the
audience made some interruption and
was promptly expelled. Harrison was
then led to remark that any person might
know that mans nationality and con-
tinued: 'You know what they (the Irish)
are. If it was not for them we would
not need half our penitentiaries which
are almost full of them. They are only
good to shovel dirt and grade railroads
for which they receive more than they are
worth as they are no acquisition to Amer
lean people"
One of his audience, man named Con.
don, makes affidavit that he heard Har-
rison use the words and he is supported
by number of others.

The Milwaukee Sentinel lately pub
ished letter from New York In which
it was stated that every business letter
from one of the large wholesale grocery

stating that every wholesale grocery

go republican by $4,000. The senior
partner of the firm writes The Sentinel
that no such circulars are sent; that the
firm does not mix up politics and bust
ness and that he shall vote for Cleve-
land and his employees may do just as
they please in the election.

PRINCE BISMARCK is far from pleased
with the publication of the Emperor
Frederick's diary and seeks to cast dis
credit upon the statements by saying that
the then crown prince did not share in
the discussion of important matters with
Emp sror William and himself. This has
raised storm with the liberal press of
Germany. Tn late Frederick was very
popular and the German people Will
resent any aspersions upon his memory,
even if cast by Bismarck himself.

THE tariff on wool and WOODEN goods
is the result of combination between
the wool growers and manufacturers of
wooden goods during the first half of the
present century. Then the wool growers
could easily organize as all were within
a limited extent of territory Neither
wanted the other to be protected as each
felt that the combined tax would induce
complaint on the part of the consumer
But union of forces was necessary to
secure the tax on the foreign articles and
since then both parties here worked har-
moniously for high protection.

NOTWITHSTANDING the defense by pro-
tectionists of the high tariff, all are anx-
ious to purchase goods where they can
get them cheapest when opportunity
offers. The wealthy people who can
afford to visit Europe purchase all their
clothing there. At Sault Ste Marie all
articles of clothing are purchased on the
Canada side.
Apropos of rich people purchasing
their clothing in Europe, a good story is
told of Ed Sanderson of Milwaukee, who
is an ultra high protectionist. This sum-
mer he was in Europe. While there he not
only purchased supply of clothing for
himself but for his family also. The
goods were sent to Milwaukee but as
they could not be classed as part of the
family wardrobe, not having been worn
and unaccompanied by their owners, the
duty was collected upon them much to the
chagrin of Mr.. Sanderson.
A gentleman from this city lately re-
turned from Europe, brought with him a
suit of clothes and two overcoats pur-
chased there and brought in duty free as
part of his wearing apparel. He had
friends estimate the cost The average
estimate put the suit of clothes at $50;
the price paid was SIS. The cost of the
light overcoat was put at S2S: the actual
cost was So; the estimate of the cost of
the heavy overcoat was $50; the price
paid was S2I. This is what the present
tariff does for us.
A gentleman recently returned from
Canada to this city, while abroad sup
piled himself with clothing In every in
stance in whicha person placed an esti-
mate upon the cost of the clothes, using
as basis the ruling prices IN this country,
the estimate was nearly double the pur-
chase price in Canada. These facts out
weigh all the shoddy arguments of prices
not being made any higher because of
the tariff tax.

What in his public speeches, and instead

Cleveland based his vetoes were known
his vetoes Of special pension bills would
strengthen him with all the deserving
old veterans.

THE failure of the wheat crop in France
and the heavy protective duty levied on
imported grain in that country are like
ly to produce bread riots there unless
the duty is removed. 1t is estimated
that France will need S0,000,000 bushels
of foreign wheat The tariff will make
the cost of -four quite high to the poor
people and the people see signs of trouble
in the near future.
