Reduction Of Tariff.

That tariff reduction is called for by
a majority of the people Of the United
States, is very evident from an inspec-
ton of the official election returns.
Cleveland's plurality over Harrison is
about 100000 and the pr ohibition vote
mainly in favor of reduction was about
100000, making at least majority Of
100000 against high protection. Be
sides, there are, no doubt, three repub-
licans who favor reduction, to one of
the other parties who favors high tariff.
This being the case the tariff laws
should be revised in the interest
of the large majority, especially
of the poorer classes of our citizens,
and the interests of monopolists, dem
agogues and public thieves should re-
ceiye no more attention than they de-
serve. The will of the people is said
to be supreme, but who will undertake
to prove the truth of the assertion.
The people declare in favor Of civil
service reform, of tariff reform, of uni
formity in assessment and collection
of direct taxes, etc, etc. But who
will undertake to prove that our
moneyed legislators attempt to carry
out the will of the people in regard to
these important matters and in the in
terests Of the country at large? All
officers of our state and national gov
eminent are said to be the servants of
the people. Are they, in truth?
What farmer, mechanic, tradesman or
manufacturer would retain his en-
ployees while manifesting disregard
of the wishes and interests of the en-
ployer What railroad corporation is
willing to allow its employees to ma
nipulate matters for their own benefit
or benefit Of friends regardless Of the
good of their employers? Should not
the people hold their public servants
just as responsible for their acts, and
demand just as faithful service?
Should they not be discharged when
they refuse or fail to do their duty?
Why not let our Legislators know what
laws are required for the public good
general laws that every intelligent cit
iZen knows would be an advantage to
the public at large and if they fail to
enact such, just invite them to resign,
or at least not re elect them when their
term Of Office has expired. 1t is folly
to boast of the sovereign power of the
people in this land of the free, this
grand republic and then allow our ser
wants to disregard the rights, the will,
and the welfare of the masses. Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of freedom
and prosperity and the people ought TO
know it, realize it, and act accordingly.
When their servants depart from the
path of rectitude and sound public
policy they should call them to account
and remind them that they are not
properly independent of the will of
their constituents. : II. :.

Our village is lively.
Find any trouble in writing 1885:
Cutter riding was generally INDUCED
in last Tuesday.
Remember r. Manning, our town
treasurer, is prepared to receive your
annual contributions now. Office in
Willard Eastman's lumber office.
Our enterprising merchant Mr.. Sex
ton, had business in Mineral Point last
Saturday.
Mrs. Robert PovIey, of Scales Mound
H., is in the village attending at the
bedside of her sick mother
Mrs. Baily and her daughter Lucy
are visiting friends in Monroe and vi
entity.
There was very pleasant party held
at the residence Of Mr.. 7. MellOT last
Monday eve. Two sleigh loads from
our village attended.
Mrs. Thomas Berlin is visiting her
sister, Mrs. Sexton Of this place
Since the fine sleighing, Chas. Har-
vey & Sons have enjoyed lively trade
in cutters and sleighs. They have sold
entirely out of sleighs, but will have a
consignment in a few days and can
supply those who are not already sup
liel.
DIR. f. J. Zieglar returned from
Prairie du Chen last Monday.
Several of our business men spent
January 1st out of town visiting
friends.
Rev. Mortified expects to hold a
series of meetings here ere long. The
sermon he delivered last Sunday was
among the best that have been preach
ed from our pulpit and has been very
much complimented by those who
were fortunate enough to be present
He breaches again next Sunday at 1:30.
Our winter term of school began
Wednesday.
Many of our farmers are buying
corn, the prices ranging from 50 to IS
cents per bushel. 1t seems that one of
our greatest cereals is no more raised
in sufficient quantities to supply our
home consumption and thus thousands
of dollars are annually sent to other
points for this one staple.
Did you make any new resolutions
January LIST? If not it is good time
to make some. Look back carefully
over the past year and see whether
there were not times, that you might
have made some ones life just little
brighter ana more hopeful by lending
a helping hand or greeting them with
kind word or smile, but by reason of
your careless and thoughtless spirit you
did not. Have yon been gossiping about
your neighbors and relating things con
corning them of questionable nature?
Then "quit your meanness." IfEyou
know anything good of any one don't
be afraid to speak of it, it is much bet
ter to tell of the good traits in your
neighbor than be everlastingly seeking
out their weaknesses. We are all NOR
tai and composed of more imperfec-
lions than projections. Examine your
self accordingly, and see where you
stand in your own estimation and in
estimation of your neighborS. Think
of the galden rule often, Do unto 9th
ers as you would that they should do
unto You.

The annual banquet of the Massa-
chussctts Tariff Reform League was
held on saturday last, Secretary Fair
child and congressman Fitch, of New
York, were present and delivered
stirring addresses. Letters of regret
from President Cleveland, Speaker
Carlisle and others were read, The
Presidents letter is as follows:
Executive Mansion, Washington u.
G., Dec. - Mcssrs. Sherman, Hoar
and others, committee Gentlemen: |
am exceedingly sorry that | cannot be
present at the annual dinner of the
Massachusetts Tariff Reform League
on the 2Sth inst This is not merely a
formal and common expression of
regret 1t truly indicates how much |
should enjoy meeting the members of
your league, and how glad should be
to express in person my appreciation
of their important services i'll Il cause
to which am earnestly attached, and
to acknowledge at the same time their
frequent and encouraging maniteS-
tations of personal fricndliness.

and advantageous to be even for Il
brief period within the inspiring in
huencc Of the atmosphere surrounding
patriotic and unscltish men banded to-
gether in the interests of their fellow
countrymcn and devoted to the work
OF tariff reform This reform appears
to ma to be rs far-reaching in its pur-
poses rs the destiny of our country,
and as broad in its beneticencc rs the
welfare of our entire people. 1t is
because the efforts of its advocates are
not discredited by any sordid motives
that they are able. boldly and con
idcntlv, to attack the strongholds of
selhshncss and greed. Our institutions
were constructed in purity of purpose
and love for humanity. Their oper-
alton is adjusted to the touch Of
national virtue and patriotism, and
their results under such guidance must
be the prosperity and happiness of our
people: and as long as the advocates
of tariff reform appreciate the Senti-
mentS in which our institutions had
their origin; So long as they apprehend
the forces which alone can guide their
operation; So long rs they, in a spirit
of true patriotism, are conSeCrated to
the service of their country, temporary
defeat brings no Encouragement. 1t
but proves the StuhbornneSS of the
forces of combined seltiShneSS, and
discloses how far the people have been
led eStray, and how great is the neCeS-
Sitv of Tcdouhled efforts in their behalf.
To lose faith in the intelligence of the
people is a surrender and abandonment
of the struggle To arouse their in
telligenCe and free ii from darkness
and deluSion gives assurance of speedy
and complete victory. In the track of
reform are often found the dead hopes
of pioneers and the despair of those
who fall in the march But there will
be neither despair nor dead hopes in
the path of tariff reform: nor shall its
pioneers fail to reach the heights.
Holding fast to their faith and reject
ing every alluring overture and de
ceptive compromise which would be
tray their sacred trust, they them
selves shall regain and restore the
patrimony of their countrymen, freed
from the trespass of grasping enroach-
ment and safely secured by the genius
of American justice and equality.

What on Earth

Is the reason people will not, can not,
or do not see any difference in cheap
nostrums put up by Cheap John houses
or irresponsible parties at great profit,
rather than take a medicine of world
wide reputation and one that is giving
universal satisfaction at equal prices:
No medicine in the world is giving
such unparalleled satisfaction for puri-
flying the blood as BeggS' Blood
Purifier and Blood Maker. and every
