CONGRESSMAN GUENTHER says that when
man calls himself tariff 4former he
may be correctly set down as a free
trader. Then were all the leading re-
oublicans since 1870 free traders as all
admitted the necessity of reforming the
war tariff. Mr.. Guenther draws dis
tinction between revising and reforming
and favors revision if it be in the direc-
ton OF increasing the tariff, If it be found
necessary to foster our industries. So
he commits his party to the policy OF
supporting the industries of the country
by high taxation. 1t is quite evident
that some industries must be benefited
at the expense Of others, because If it is
not SO there is no protection. Then
Mr.. Guenther would tax the prosperous
industries and thus retard their growth
to foster those industries which are con-
fessedly improbable and which demand
a share Of the legitimate profits of the in
dustries which do not require and do not
receive protection.
He says there is no demand made for
tariff version except by the importers.
Why then is he speaking against tariff
revision in such places as Manitowoc?
Are the people generally so lacking in
intelligent self-interest that they will not
ask that necessaries be made cheaper?
Mr.. Guenther should not weave SO much
palpable falsehood into his speech.

THE Inter Ocean in attempting to an
swer the question why if the tariff of 1912,
which was regarded as just the proper
thing by protectionists though it imposed
an average duty of only 80 per cent, was
regarded as protective, the Mills bill
which imposes tariff of 40 per cent.
should be considered free trade, goes on
to state that improved conditions in the
world make necessary higher taxes.
Then improved conditions are undeslr-
able, if The Inter Ocean is correct. The
United States, it says, were then able to
feed its workmen at less cost than now.
transportation of foreign products was
less. So that it seems the protective
tariff is designed to prevent the resident
of America from prohting by the i'm
provements made. The tax, on this
theory, must advance as conditions i'm
prove. We are to profit by nothing.
The manufacturer may, but not the peo-
pie generally.

A CARD.

To my democratic friends of Manito-
voc county: Two years ago, when 1 in
tended to become candidate for the Of
flee of county clerk, was requested by in
innate friends of the present clerk and
myself, to wait another term. They told
me not to interfere with the nomination
OF the present clerk for his third term,
and promises were made to support me
in 1888. 1 decided to do so and now ask
my friends for their hearty support in
my present undertaking as such candi-
date. This will be the third time that
come before the democratic convention
as candidate for Office and hope that I
will be the choice of said convention for
the office of County Clerk. Thanking
my friends in advance for all kind favors
and condolences. Respectfully
CARL II. PAULUs.

WITH Andrew kull the democratic
nominee for lieutenant governor, an ex-
tensive wool grower; and George Brickner
the democratic nominee for congressman
in this district, manufacturer of wooden
goods on an extensive scale, both pro-
nounced for tariff reduction and approx
ing the Mills bill, both intelligent and
not likely to do anything inimical to
their interests, this talk of tariff reduc-
ton running wool-growers and manufac-
turers appears very tame. 1t is possible
the people may vote against their own
interests at the coming election but they
will learn to be wiser in time.

Water Works Go.

TOTHE 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 Cos. 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.

THE most direputable paper in the
United States, politically considered, is
The Irish World. No one will deny that
it is good thing for the Irish people TO
be divided politically if the division is on
the line of principle. But The Irish
World seeks to realize financially from
the conversion of the Irish people. 1t
has for selfish purposes championed the
cause of the Irish in Ireland and assum-
ing that by SO doing it has won the con-
fidence of Irish American citizens, it tries
to win them to the support of the repub-
llcan party. There is hardly an Irish
man in any of the doubtful states not a
regular subscriber to the paper who does
not receive it gratis. OF course this ex-
pense is not borne by Pat Ford, its editor
The republican national committee pays
him to do this. Are the Irish people
willing to be considered chattels of Ford:
Let them join the republican party if
they feel its principles are in harmony
with their convictions. But they earn
no respect by giving adherence to its
party on the purchased dictation of Ford

WHATEVER the result of the comma
election the present tariff Will not be
continued. The people have been edu-
Gated a great deal on the question of the
tariff and if the democracy goes out of
power it has the satisfaction of knowing
that In four years of power it has buried
sectionalism and given the country a
living issue. The people reason slowly,
and, as IN the present instance, when the
real facts are obscured by the specious
arguments of protectionists, reach wrong
conclusions. But the war tariff is doomed
and history will do Grover Cleveland
justice even though the people this fall
should not do so.

SENATOR SAWYER announces that he
will not be candidate for reelection to
the United States senate after the expira-
ton of his present term. He will then
be n years of age and thinks it high time
for man of that age to retire from pub
lie life. The old Senator has served his
party well and it may be said with equal
truth has served his state faithfully.
Though he dominated his party in the
state he was never an offensive boss,

The republican national committee has
a bureau which sends out lists of names
of democrats who have apostatized poll
tically. This is done in the expectation
that others will be induced to join the
procession. A large number of local
papers publish this trash which is wholly
unreliable. If there is "any one thing
more than than another" which brings
the press into disrepute it is its willing
ness to surrender its editorial depart
ment to the management Of these
bureaus.

THE Conkling stalwarts are causing
some alarm in the republican ranks. 1t
is the fight against Blaine who they say
is practically the candidate of the repub-
hcan party. They refuse to support
Harrison and their outspoken opposition
will weaken him considerably in New
York, the state which it is absolutely
necessary he must carry. The detection
of the stalwarts is the most significant
fact which has yet developed in the cam.

IT is now thought that congress will
not adjourn before October %. The
senate is deliberately practicing decep-
ton on the tariff question. 1t clearly per-
ceives the demand for tariff revision but
cannot change position on the question
so short time before election. So it
hints vaguely at bill which shall make
the required reduction while being master
ly inactive in doing anything. Congress is
kept in session for purely partisan pur-

travel are rigidly enforcing quarantine

spread is perfectly iustifable.

the age was the work of the modest

Harrison c. Hobart as recent convert
