The GnYernorshIn.

To The Republicans Of Wisconsin,:
The Republican Club of St. Croix,
earnestly desiring the success of the
party at the approaching election, and
believing that candidates for Office
should be nominated with reference,
first to their fitness, and next to their
availability, desire to present TO the
Republicans OF Wisconsin the name of
H. A. Taylor as candidate for Gov
ernor. In so doing the club may con-
tidently assert that it represents the
practically unanimous sentiment Of the
Republicans of more than a score of
counties in the Northwest as well as of
the leaders of the party and many of
the voters in every section OF the state.
We believe Mr.. Taylor to be thorough
ly fitted for the Office of governor, and
a most available and deserving candI-
date.
None have questioned or will ques-
tion his fitness. He would bring to the
high office for which he is mentioned,
conspicuous business and literary abili-
ties, wide acquaintance with public
affairs, splendid executive talent, and
a character for integrity beyond re-
proach.
In our judgement no man in the
state presents more or stronger points
of availability.
He is supported with the greatest
unanimity where he is best known, and
good home endorsement is the most
valuable of all.

sent all classes and intelligently defend
every public interest He is alike popu-
lar with citizens of native and of foreign
birth.
The Germans are friendly to him. He
has the support of the only German
papers in the state that have expressed
preference between the candidates.
The Scandinavians favor him, as is
shown by many published letters from
their leading citizens, and the editorial
endorsement of their most influential
papers. He is an eloquent and con-
vincing speaker and would give strength
and inspire confidence in the party on
the stump.
He is thoroughly familiar with the
politics. of the state in every part, and

in his knowledge and experience.
That he deserves the support Of his
party, if long, faithful, unselfsh and
successful effor. in its behalf ever en-
titles one 10 its support, no fair minded
man will deny. For thirty years he
has been a worker and leader, defend
ing Republican principles and support
ing Repu 9licau candidates, but never
asking votes for himself. As Chairman
of the State Central Committee he has
conducted the most efficient campaigns
and won the most splendid victories
He has expended his means, neglected
his business and devoted his time in
advancing the interests of the Repub.
lican party of Wisconsin.

is the man we present to the Republic

name him as their standard bearer il

ssLittle PhIl.o

In the death of General Sheridan the
country loses its most gallant soldier,
and the army hero. A born soldier,
from the very start filed with daunt-
less courage and executive ability, edu-
Gated at West Point and entering the
army when p years of age, he worked
his way up and literally carved fame
from the stony path of war with his
sword. Not a soldier of the Union
army but loves Little Phil'' as he was
called. Connected with the civil war
from its incipicency, his career was
one brilliant score of victories. En-
tering the service as dashing cavalry
man, he soon made himself felt, and
promotion following he placed that de-
partment on q footing of thorough ex-
cellence that made itself potent through
the whole army Who does not re-
member his immortal ride from Win
chester to Cedar Greek, and change of
defeat to victory through his unaided
pluck, determination and enthusiasm?
During the whole rebellion he was ever
prominent in council and field
Thoroughly versed in the art of war, he
could both plan and execute, and few
won more fame and recognition than
he. The whole country will mourn his
loss, and his memory will be ensbrined
with the other great leaders who have
passed into history.
Gen Sheridan was at the head of the
armies of the United States, Congress
having recreated the rank Of General,
that had been filled only by Grant and
Sherman, for him. Like all our great
men he was stricken with lingering
illness. finally moved from Washington
to Nonquitt, Mass, in hopes the change
would prove beneficial. but without
aYail. He died Sunday evening shortly
after 10 o'clock.

Free Trade and The Farmer.
The Illinois Home Market Club.

The advocates of free trade are
especially earnest in their appeals to the
Western farmer, as the voter most
likely to furnish aid in overturning the
existing fiscal policy Of this country and
once more trying that of England. In
their efforts to this end they are untir-
ing, ingenious, INSCRIPTIONS. No
possible resort remains untried, no
appeal long neglected. They seek to
inflame the worthy ambition to better
ones condition in life by pieturing a
mythical market which is at once both
the cheapest for the buyer and the
dearest for the seller They seek to
create sectional prejudice by persistent
repetitions in speeches and writings of
the antithesls western farmers,
eastern manufacturers just as if the
West had no manufactures, the East no
agriculture. They ignore the common
sense inference that, if the people Of the
United States paid the duty on foreign
competing articles sold in this country
the foreigner would be by no means so
persistent for the removal Of our tariff.
In view of such tactics it will be well
for farmers to keep in mind certain facts
which with practical men are likely to
outweigh all tae theories Of British free
traders and their attorneys in the
United States.
Money is necessary to the existence
Of government. Under our fiscal sys-

Mnch Less Thnn Yankee Wages.

"While in Brussels, Belgium, last
summer" says w. II. Perkins in the
San Francisco Chronicle, II saw some
skilled laborers making spiral steel car
springs, such as we use on our freight
cars They received 60 cents per day,
while our black-smiths receive 3 for
the same work. / asked the Belgian
proprietor why he didn't pay more.

and municipalities is upon taxation of
property-the exception being the sale
of licenses for carrying on certain lines
of business. Money raised by taxation
comes from owners of factories, machine
cry and other personal property as well
as from farms and farm equipments,
and is the price paid by owners for
defence of their rights in property and
the peaceable pursuit of the business of
their choice.
To exempt any one mans property
from taxation would be an injustice to
all who are compelled to pay taxes.
Yet this is just what free trade pro
poses to do. American owners of farms,
houses. machinery, etc. are to be taxed
while the same rights they enjoy are to
be given free to others-to men who
owe no allegiance to our government
and who seek profits from trade here to
be spent in other countries.
Hay, barley. wheat, wool ETC., are
grown in large quantities by Canadian
farmers who never paid cent of taxes
toward the support of our government
If these men prefer to send their
products here to be sold in our markets,
why should they not be taxed, at least
as much as our farmers are taxed, for the
privilege? But the free trader says
no, let the foreigner have our markets
without cost, although the American
farmers taxes need to be increased in
consequence, and then complacently
suggests that if growing such articles
under this one-sided arrangement
proves Improbable our farmers can
turn their attention to some other pro
auctions.
Protection insures for our own citi-
zens not only the first but always the
best chance in the markets of the
country they have helped to build up.
This is both patriotism and good bust
ness policy. Its opposite is the UNI
American policy advocated by the
President and other free trade advocates
and for which they received the plandits
of the Golden Club and every promi-
nent Journal in Great Britain. 1t re-
mains to be seen if a majority OF
American farmers agree with him.

The Member From the Second District.

Hon. Richard Guenther made most
telling and amusing speech on the Mills
Bill, May 4th, from which we are
tempted to quote, to show how people
can be deceived by this al Ualorem style
of argument. 1t is we'll to bear in mind
that amid all this fog of enormous per-
centages claimed as tariff taxes the
real issue has been far more than half

An Enemy OF Corn.

There has been discovered in the

habits and history nothing has yet been

this insect feeds commonly on large
club rush (scRIPUs) and the com
mon reed (PHRAGMIrEs, plants which
grow abundantly in the lowest marshy
prairies, and attacks corn when planted
on ground where these grasses have
been plowed up.
The beetle is about half an inch long,
clay-colored, and bears long snout, or
proboscis, at the end of which is pair of
minute Jaws. The snout is thrust into
the stalk of corn or stem of grass upon
which it is feeding, chewing and swal-
lowing the soft internal tissues of the
plant. Whole fields of corn have thus
been completely destroyed two or three
times in succession. The injury has not

pairing to breed aud the farmers have
consequently been compelled to aban
