Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1890-10-24

satisfy both the DEMOCRAT and Mllwau-
kes Journal by giving in simple four
line paragraph both the bolters and the
public schools in which his boys were
educated
WE observe that Prof. Harvey, of the
Oshkosh normal school, finds time IN the
midst of his duties as public school Off
cial to spend most OF his days campaigning
for that party, the Manitowoc members Or
which sought to coeice +. O. Wells, the
democratic nominee for the same office for
which Mr.. Harvey is striving, to refrain
from taking any part whatever in the
struggle
REPUBLICAN organs are now deyOting
columns of space TO publishing the list of
articles that are free of duty. 1t is in
deed a source of great satisfaction to the
tax ridden people TO know that acorns,
chicory root, dates, grease, orchids, sand,
brier wood and human hair come in free,
while the duty is piled on to tin, glass,
clothing of all kinds, boots and shoes and
thousand and one other articles of
necessity in very home in the land.
TmE Mckinley bill was framed in the interest of
the people Of the United States, and, no matter
how much the Canadians and the manu- acturers
in Europe may storm about il and pray and pay
for democratic success in the coming elections,
the bill will stand our foreign brethren may
well make up their minds to that fact Philadel-
phia Press,
But is this a broad, humane and chris
tian spirit to be manifested by civilized
people2 Is it right to be unjust to one S
neighbor to further one S own selfish ends
That was a great bet that Ed. Wall
made IN Milwaukee Monday with bIa-
tant republican who was staggering
about with package of big bills between
the fingers Of his hand, sportsman fashion,
engaged in the petty practice of butiing,
Mr.. Wall called him down, how
ever, and the fellow virtually
made the chairman IA gift of
81 600 by wagering that amount on Hoard
getting plurality of not less than 10000
in the state That's easier for Mr. Wall
thsn finding money, for it caves him the
.roube Of STOPPING to pick IT up.
The Democratic Bennett Law league
of thousand (N mombers was shown
up in its true form in Milwaukee, Satur-
day evening. The republican leaders had
pretended to hope that the stage in the
opera house where Felker was to speak
would be crowded with democratic bolt
ers, but only five weri there, and they the
same ones whose names would be men
toned anew were not they so suggestive
of the nuts with the pricFly burrs. The
Democratic Bennett Law league is all
wind
TnE organs in sheer desperation are
saying that Col Villas is in favor ot a
division of the school fund among the |!
Catholic and Lutheran and other paro-
chial schools. In making this statemant
they lie. They know that they lie. They |
know that their readers know that they
lie. They know that their readers know
that the organs know that they lie They
know that tie readers know that the
organs know that the readers know that
the organs know that they are lying.
Then why do they lie Because the gen
eral summing up of the situation in H.
Gates that the republicans in this state
are beaten. Something must he done or
the republicans are destroyed And the
only things the republicans can think of
i'll their distraction are lying and doodle.
WoRsrED goods will come high now
The Philadelphia Record publishes let
ter from merchant of the Quaker city who
said that he had just paid his first duties
under the Mckinley bill on worsted cloths
for mems wear, The foreign value of the
goods was g., ,O74. and the amount of duty
paid was -, AZ The duty exceeded the
entire foreign cost by S37S The duty was
at the rate of llSi5 per cent. The Chi
cago Times, in commenting GA thi, fact.
says that probably Mr.. Mckinley and the
republican congressional campaign COM
mlttcc will say that the foreigner paid the
duty, and that no part Of it will come out
of the American consumer. II that is so,
the foreigner made Il present of the goods
TO the Philadelphia merchant and paid him
1878 cash for taking them Off his hands
But rs II will he difficult to make Amer
lean consumers believe that the foreigner
was SO wonderfully generous, perhaps Mr.
Mckinley and the committee will shift
their ground and say that the goods are
Injuries used only by the rich. who can
afford 70 pay double price for them. But
the merchant who imported the goods
says: "these are medium quality goods.
such rs are Worn 10y working people. and
1t seems a high tax on such an article as
clothing, which people are compelled to
wear 10y law 1t will be observed that
the merchant assumes that this enormous
tax must ut last be paid by the wearers of
the goods, who are likely to be working
people, unless the tax places the goods
away up ON the top shelf beyond the reach
of any but the wealthy
MIR. LA TOILETTE AGAIN.
Thousands of republicans in this district
say that the Mckinley bill is an outrage
