OREANIXE EOR WORK.

The citizens of Mineral Point should
at once form an organization to work
for the advancement of the business
interests of the city. There is no
question of the need of securing the
establishment here of industrial enter
prises. The Democrat has from time
to time presented facts and figures to
show that Mineral Point, with small
effort on the part of her citizens, has
held her own remarkably well under
IL the last eight years new lines of
railroad have been built west, north
and east of us, touching ut several
points within few miles of the city
Notwithstanding this fact Mineral
Point has enjoyed and still enjoys n
good trade, and is perhaps, as prosper
GUS rs any city of like size in Wis
consin But other cities are putting
forth efforts to increase their material
interests, and Mineral Point ought
not to be behind in this regard
Situated rs the city is in the heart of
4 rich agricultural and mining section.
il ought to be made an industrial cen
ter; and we believe that il can be
made such if an intelligent organized
effort is put forth with this end in
view. Earnest work when we'll di-
rected will always win and the effort
ought surely to be made. There are
numerous enterprises, that can be
carried on as prohtably here as else
where, the establishment of which
in this city would give employment
to labor, increase trade, and enhance
the value Of property many fold.
The first step that is necessary to
be taken in the direction here indi-
Gated is, the holding of public meet
ing of the citizens of Mineral Point
for the purpose of forming an ad-
vancement association and electing or
appointing officers empowered 10 act
for the association in the matter of
inviting hither capitalists DESTROYS of
establishing needed industries; such
officers to be fully authorized to inveS-
tigate the claims and merits of man
ufacturing enterprises seeking a field
for operations, and for which aid
may be solicited, promptly fur
nishing to the association and the
people of the city all necessary infor-
nation thereto. The Democrat hopes
that such an association will be formed
at an early day, and that all possible
efforts will be put forth TO build up
our old substantial city. There is
plenty of idle money here, and if only
a small portion of it We're called into
use in establishing new and needed
lines of industry, it would cause the
town to boom as it never doomed
before. Let us go to work and i'm
prove present and future opportunitie:
for upbuilding the city. Let the work
of organizing our forces be at one,
begun. The result may such as to sur
prise even the most hopeful of on
people.

tries must be made less profitable to
the extent that they are made to con-
tribute to its greater efficiency, and
nothing is gained, indeed; except it
is more production than any Of the
industries taxed to support it, it must
cause lessened production; because it
is lessening the means of carrying on
relatively profitable industries, to in
crease the ability to carry on rel
atively less profitable one The only
way protection can stimulate the
growth of an industry, is by increas-
ing the price Of its products. But
increased price, lessons consumption
and demand; Except in case of those
things absolutely indispensable;) and
the growth due to protection is offset
by an indefinite amount of contraction.
1t is subject to the still further re-
striction, occasioned by the limitation
of the sale of protected commodities.
to the home market. And who can
say that these different contractive
forces, do not equal or exceed, the slim
illus of protection. But; however this
may be, their joint effect is to dimin-
ish production. 1t may be said. as
indeed it is, and forms no inconsider-
able part of the protectionist's argu-
ment in defense of his system: that
the increased growth of industries re-
sulting from protection, causes an
ultimate lowering of prices through
increased competition. This could
| only be true of those industries that
were inherently profitable, and would
practically, only be true of that insig-
nilicant number of them in which if
was not possible for manufacturers TO
form combinations and limit produc-
ton; for, while it costs less to pro-
duce less, and the smaller output will
sell for as much as the larger, such
combinations will always be formed,
and will neutralize any possible adj
Vantages of competition in this respect.
The best evidence that we can have.
that protection through increased com
petition never decreases the prices of
products, to the foreign level, is the
fact, that its beneficiaries are never
willing to relinquish it. According to
their representations, their enterprises
are never able to go alone; they always
need aSSiSfnnnn

A Peculiar Case.

DR.. II. c. Edmunds, of Elberton. Ga.

case of blood poisoning came under

by vicious mule that he was break
ing to work. The hand was in a hor-
rible condition, and the Inflammation

hand was an ulcer that was deep and
sloughing. He stated to me that he
had consulted several physicians, and
taken their medicine without deriving
any benefit. L gave him a course OF

days he reported to me a marked i'm.
provement, and in one week from the
time he commenced taking S. S. 5. the
hand was healed and the poison en-
