Col. Knights Speech.

Quite large audience created Col.
Knight in this city Tuesday evening.
Before commencing his argument he
laid out his premises fairly and COM
phmented the Republican candidate for
President-Gen. Harrison-by saying,
'that he was man of learning, charac-
ter, and integrity, and free from cal
umny and highly respected" He laid
aside the personally of the candidates
and confined himself to the tariff issue.
His argument was well presented from
"a Democratic standpoint and well
received. A great many statements
that he made could be successfully
refuted and probably will be before the
canvass is over. He was followed by
Theodore Kerstein, democratic candi-
date for State Treasurer, banker from
Chiffon, who attempted to make sportof
some of the Republican principals.
His effort was very weak for a man of
his supposed ability and it appeared
more so following such a man as Col.
Knight. However, the meeting as a
whole was a success.

HARRISON'S APHORISMS.

Since the nomination Of Gen.
Harrison he has delivered about
one hundred speeches to visiting
delegations, and not one Of the
number has been unfavorably
criticised. All the addresses have
been remarkable for their earnest
ness and good sense. Some of
the wise expressions which have
been CLEANED from these speeches
are given below:
1t is not ascontest between schedules,
but between wide-apart principles.
The important question is not the
step at the direction of it.
The assault itself is the important
fact
Those who advance it are students of
maxims and not of markets.
We do not offer a fixed schedule but
a principle
Less work and lower wages must be
accepted as the inevitable result of the
increased offerings of foreign goods in
our markets.
Our workingmen have the settlement
of the question in their own hands.
A proper reduction of the revenues
does not necessitate, and should not
suggest the abandonment or impairment
of the protective system.
The surplus now in the Treasury
should be used in the purchase of bonds
The day of the Immigration Bureau
has gone by.
We should resolutely refuse to permit
foreign governments to send their
paupers and criminals to our ports.
Our civil compact is a government by
majorities
The right of every qualified elector to
cast one free ballot, and to have it
honestly counted must not be question
ed
The Nation, not less the States, is
dependent for prosperity and security
upon the intelligence and morality of
the people.
The territorial form of government is
temporary expedient, nota permanent
civil condition.
They (the soldiers) gave ungrudgingly
it was not trade but an offering.
What they (the soldiers) achieved
only distant generation can adequately
tell
All appointments should be absolutely
free from partisan considerations and
influence.
Only the interests of the public
service should suggest removals from
office.
Our nation is too great, both in mater
ial strength and moral power, to
indulge in buster or be suspected of
timorousness.
The gates of Castle Garden swing
inward. They never swing outward to
any American laboror seeking a better
country than this.
A policy which transfers work from
our mines and factories to foreign mines
and factories inevitably tends so to the
depression of our wages.

Anti-Bridge Ticket.

The Milwaukee Sentinel gives us the
following as the ticket nominated at
Marshtield on Tuesday evening 1t is
democratic with one exception and that
is /. HI. Ecklung, of Sigel, who is a
republican: AT the peoples anti-bridge
county convention held in this city
Tuesday the following ticket nominated: !:
Member Of assembly, Hon. H. A.
Lathrop, of Marshfeld; for sheriff, L.
III. Ecklung, of Sigel; for county Treas.
John Schaurer, of Marshfield; for
county clerk, S. 7. Young, of Pittsville;
for clerk of the circuit court, Anton
Rothenberger, of Rock; for district
attorney, Emil G. Pors, of Marshfield
for register of deeds, Vernon n. Mason,
of Nasonville. The ticket is a strong
one and the nominees are all staunch
Democrats. The political issues of the
county will be fought out on the issue of
bridge or anti-bridge with the popular
opinion largely in favor of the anti
bridge ticket. The convention was
fully attended and harmonious.

Judging from the Centralia Enterprise
its readers would be impressed that
they never make any mistakes nor
misrepresent facts. In their last issue
they made positive statement that the
fine quality of dry lumber that is being
used in the building of counters and
shelving in the Pomainville store in
that city was purchased of John
Edwards & Co., when the facts are it
was purchased of John Parrish who has
lately opened yard in this city. As to
our medling into the transfer of the
Witter House property we have a right
as newspaper man to make an item of
news of any proposed change that is
even in contemplation Of being closed.
What troubled the Enterprise and
probably Mr.. Hathaway, was the fact
that we stated the proposed change
would be appreciated, and we believe
the sentiment in this community would
substantiate our statement.

THE TARIFF AND THE INDI-
VIDUAL
A Small Burden and Great Reward

To the Editor Of the Tribune:
SIR-There is SO much said in your paper
about tariff, that I for one would like to
know how much the tariff aside from inter
nal revenue) amounts to on each person in
the | mon. | have a notion that if each per-
son knew, it would not seem so big a thing as
the Free Trade politicians try to make peo-
pie believe With the means you have YOU
can easily tell this and also can tell the class
who buy the most of the imports on which
tariff is paid, Give us some facts.
II. s. ToMLrNsoS.
Woodbury., Conn, Feb. 10. 1888.
The tariff is collected on less than two
thirds of the articles imported from other
countries; last year S233 .O00, 900 in value
were free of duty, and s42jo00, 900 paid
duties amounting to SPA 222 80. or about
81. for each inhabitant. Included in and
less than this sum is every dollar that any
citizen is now required to pay to the support
of the National Government, because the on
is by not using spirits, tobacco or beer. The
SO. Is paid for each nhabitant in all duties on
imports is in part paid by foreigners for the
privilege of selling their goods in this
market. That this is true, the advance
of foreign prices in great many
cases when duties on certain articles have
been removed or lowered. proves, be-
yond dispute. But more than half of the
duties paid are on articles which nine -tenths
of the American people never buy, and which
no one need buy unless he pleases, because
duction can be had. Wooden goods imported
are worn only by those who seek fashion
rather than comfort. and on them S35, $50 900
of the duties are paid. Over 500 ,3so. ZOO
more was paid o silks, fine cottons, laces,
jewelry, cigars. kid gloves, imported spirits
and wines, fancy china and glass, fancy
articles, imported bonnets, furs, buttons, art
works. watches, and the like. Then $751;
900 200 is paid on sugar and molasses, duty
originally but not now needed for revenue.
which Democrats refuse 10 repeal because
they want to keep the electoral votes of
Louisiana. Only about 90 cents yearly for
each inhabitant remains in all. other duties,
of which the mass of the people pay their
share. Yet by this method, costing SO little
to our people, the competition of foreign with
our own manufactures has been restrained,
and more wonderful progress has been as
sured than has ever been seen in any other
age or land Editor of the Tribune

Senior 4. VI. Sarcldo, Venezuelan ex-
Minister to the United States, is stopping
for few days in New York. He expresses
himself plainly in reference to the reported
British eneroachments from Guiana upon
the territory of Venezuela He saws:
England has certainly openly shown an in
clinatlon to encroach upon our boundary in
opposition to our territorial rights. Yet
certainly discredit the wild rumors about an
army occupying the territory claimed by
England. That report, ] understand, was
given the public here as authoritative from a
high official of the Venezuelan Government,
by the Consul General here, who is not en-
dowed with any diplomatic powers. do not
believe that England would dare to act toward
us as it has acted in South Africa. England
is a calculating nation and encroaches on ter
ritory not its own only when it can do so
cheaply. Should it make any such attempt
against us it would meet with an antagonism
of most unexpected ferocty. Every Ven
ezuelan is fighter and would fight in such a
cause against the greatest odds
In case things should come to such a crisis
the United States would for its own intere SITS
and in accordance with its policy, have to
grant us its protection, or have its importance
as a Power put to scorn ever after. The
Nenezuclans for this reason would like to see
Mr.. Blaine President. They consider him
the greatest statesman living
