The Verdict Unanimous.

The evils of the protective system
and the cure for the complaint is
terseIy stated in the following. from
The la Crosse Chronicle:
If the protective idea advocated by
the Republican party was carried out
to its Legitimate sequence, namely,
every nation protecting its own indus
tries 10 the exclusion of all outside
competition, what would be left for
the human family to do except to eat
each other? We mean financially.
We have in this country carried the
idea far enough to show the inevitable
result The big uSh have eaten up all
of the little ones, in a business sense.
Monopoly rules the roost and individ-
ual effort in any business direction is
entirely abortive without an alliance
with the ruling monopoly power The
protective system has taxed the people,
and diverted their earnings into the
hands of capitaliStic syndicateS, until
the business interests are completely
under the control of those combina-
tions. The farmer and laborer is COM
pletelv at their mercy. One combina-
ton fixes the price of the farmers
products, while the other forms of
trusts, diminished production, turns
labor out of employment, and demands
from consumers its own price for its
stock on hand. The only way to
break the necks of these combinations
is to reduce taxations enough to bring
them into reasonable competition with
the entire world.

In considering the effect of the tariff
on the question of wages, the pro-
tectionists have hitherto utterly failed
to show why, if the effect of protection
be to enhance wages, the wages com
manded by labor in free trade England
are higher than in protectionist France,
and protectionist Germany; why the
wages of farm laborers, clerks, car
pcnters, masons, bricklayers, railroad
employees and Il host of other wage
workers in occupations utterly unpro-
tected, should also be higher in this
country than they are in other
Countries Farmer.

EDMUND.

The church at this place has been
steadily decreasing as regards mem
bership of late years, and it seems only
question of time when it will cease
to exist altogether. Various reasons
are assigned for this state of affairs
Some claim the minister is at fault,
some the people. We apprehend, how
ever, blame justly belongs to both. The
people become Indifferent because they
see their pastor has not his work at
heart, and the minister failing to make
favorable impression, becomes dis
couraged and puts forth no effort to
stay the disintegration. 4 change
must soon take place or everything
will be lost. We have had enough of
leaders whose very appearance too
plainly indicates that they live by
bread alone.

The following extract from an cdi-

The Buffalo Courier says that RIOS
coc Conkling expressed himself in pri-
waite conversation to Il friend thus con
srrning the political situation, which
remains unchanged: TO Judge of
the ciibre of the men now leading the
Republican party, you need only to
read John Sherman's speech attacking
the Presidents message. In the first
place, the message is criticised by
these Republican orators on the
ground that it is free trade, ridicu-
lous and fallacious and deceptive criti-
cism Every disiuterested citizen
knows only too we'll that of all the
StateSmanlike uttcranccS of the past

There was great sensation created
during the election of bishops in the
Methodist general conference at New
York last week 10y the discovery that
an attempt had been made to stuff the
ballot box. There We're two attempts
made to east two votes by folding a
smaller ballot inside Il larger one 50
that ii should fall out in the hat
which it failed to do. 1t was not told
the conference in whose interest these
double ballots We're east; they were, of
course, thrown out. The Springfield,
Mass, Republican says that in SO
large u body there will be some to
play tricks that are yain," but the
Mcthodists may be safely relied upon
to come out all right; they have say
ing grace enough to salt the political
pottage to healthy SAVIOR.

Platform Of the Wisconsin Democracy.

The Democrats of Wisconsin in convention as
sembled, heartily and fully endorse the wise,
conservative patriotic course of Grover Cleye-
land as president Of the United States. We take
pride in the many courage with which he has
faced the hostA ~ protected monopoly and ad-
yocated a reduction Of war taxes, now only re-
tanned upon the every day necessities Of the far
mer the artisan and the laborer, having long
since been removed from the incomes, the bank
capital aud the bank checks Of the rich.
We denounce a system of tariff tax that while
il creates a dangerous annual surplus in the ma
tional treasury Of Sljj000,000. at the same time
Indirectly taxes the producers Of the West, for
the sole benefit Of the protected manufacturers
nine dollars for every dollar that goes into the
treasury.
We, therefore declare. that the burden OF tax
alton should rest upon the those who use luXu-
ries rather than upon those who use only the
uecessaries of life. That taxation should be
limited to the requirements of the government
That greater tax is robbery under the form of
law.
We. therefore, demand that taxation be limited
to the needs Of government economically ad-
miustcTed and be levied on the luXurlcs rather
than on the nrcessariCs Of life, and that taxation
be reduced in strict conformity 10 the principles
laid down by President Cleveland in b is message
10 the ifticth congress.

Extension Of the G. Ed. * n. Railway.

"A large force of men and teams
commenced work Tuesday morning
on the Illinois Central north of
DodgeviIle at the big SUBMITS cut
near the Northwestern road. This
perhaps is the heaviest section of
work between Chicago and st.
Paul, and will take all summer and
perhaps next winter to complete it,"
The State Journal publishes the
above from The DodgeviIle Chronicle
and and that as soon as the Illinois
Central folks get the new lines bal
lasted and in running order, the
DodgeyilIe line will then be extended
to st Paul. The company has an
enormous amount of unfinished work
ON hand and the officials do not deem
II advisable to attempt the extension
of the DodgeyiIle line until the pres
ent work is finished and put in shape
50 that the new road can earn money.
AS it is now the company is paying
out thousands of dollars more than the
road earns

Misrepresentation.

The public should be on its guard
against the false assertions which fire.
quently appear in the columns of news
papers, maliciously directed against
the Price Baking Powder Co. and its
goods.
The Ohio State Food Commission
officially reported that while DIR.
Prices Cream Baking Powder was free
from ammonia and all other adulter
ants, they found the Royal Baking
Powder to contain carbonate of Am
monia, and subsequently denounced
its manufacturers in public print for
grossly misrepresenting the findings of
that Commission.
The principle impurities in the
Royal Baking Powder were found to
consist of Ammonia, Lime and Ro
chelle Salts The Lime and Rochelle
Salts were found in large quantities.
The tricky method of misrepresenta-
ton, as practiced by the proprietors of
this impure powder, advertising it as
absolutely Pure" and claiming for
it all kinds of false endorsements, are
not only dangerous to the public, but
an insult to the intelligence of all
readers.

and wholesomeness of DR.. Prices

In 1860, before the war tariff, the
wealth per capita in the manufacture
ing states was 1929. But it was
nearly as much in the remaining
agricultural states and territories, being
per capita, $5O7 In the summer Of
1864, the tariff duties were raised to an
average Of AZ per cent, and the result
was that the average wealth per capita
in 1870 in the nine manufacturing
states was 81 ,243, while in the remain
ing agricultural states it was 1852,
less than half But the high tariff
continued though the war was over,
and ten years after, in 1880, the wealth
per capita Of the nine manufacturing
states was 1888, while in all the re-
naming states and territories it was
