Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1890-05-01

One Of the bills for that purpose
was reported by Senator Hoare, re-
Gently, from the committee on cleo
lions. When the report was finished
Senator Pugh, Of Alabama.
screeched his dissent, and denounced
the bill as "subversiye of the funda.
mental principle Of local self-gov-
ernment," which was absurd, but he
added: eff the bin becomes a Law
it's execution will insure the shed
ding Of blood and the destruction
Of the peace and good order Of this
country" It would be interesting
to know who is going to start a new
rebellion and to commit bloodshed
if Congress shall pass a law to pro-
tect the ballot-boS. 1t would be
apparent to a reasonable man that
the south had had its full Of ta.,.t.

ness, or otherwise allowed 70 depre-
ciate. The keeping up Of machin-
cry and tools has come 70 be very
heG.y tax on the farmers Of the
country, aud no inconsiderable part
OF it is really unnecessary.
The farmers purchases cover a
very much greater variety of mer-
chaudise than formerly, aud many
things which by prudence could be
saved. " a rule our farmers are
good providers. If they were any
thing like as economical as those eff
other countries they would be rich.
What would pass IN Europe for

Is no prouder evidence of our adj
vanced civilization than the contrast
herein between America aud Europe.
Bat 1t is easy to carry il too far, or,
rather, IL is hard TO keep it within
bounds. The American farmer
wants his wife and daughter to have
not only all the comforts but many
Of the luxuries of life, and at the
present depressed price of products
it is hard TO keep the store bill
down within the limits OF what he
can really afford This is true not
alone in dress, but ia food supplies
as well. The use Of Injuries has
increased enormously all thrCagn
the agricultural districts. Al the
legislation In the world can not
afford relief. For the most part, the
farmers must each for himself ac-
cept the limit of his net income,
over aud above interest, taxes, and
hired help, as the limit of his ex-
penditures for machinery, tools,
dgy goods, and groceries. That, in
plain Saxon, must be the beginning

The Virtue of Industry.


The Inter Ocean talks sensibly
and to the point in this manner:
"For the first time in many years
the Republican party has power to
prove the sincerity Of Its pledges.
It has the President, the majority in
the House, and the majority in Sen,
ate, and it has amended he House
rules SO that factions minority can
not thwart such legislation as the
majority has promised TO the people
If the pledges given are not re-
deemed the people will be quick and
loud IN a vote Of disapproval at the
next general election. Bills for the
suppression of trusts and the regu-
latlon of National elections have
been introduced TO the Senate, they
should not be made the subjects Of
TOO protracted debate. The Rrp-b-
licau party promised the people that,
if returned TO power, it would sup
press trusts aud secure to every man
lii every part Of the Union a free
vote and fair count Of his ballot
The pledge should be redeemed
promptly, the bills should pass the
Senate aud 90 to the House, where
they should not be delayed by use
less or merely technical amend
ments, and from the House they
should 90 to the President, and
should be law before Congress adj
iourns. The tariff bill should be
carried through the House with
decorous haste and approved by the
Senate with as few amendments as
possible. The country is expectant
OF measures rather than Of oratory.
The three measures OF tariff re-
vision, trust suppression, and Ma
tional election regulation are SO far
advanced us to warrant the country
in expecting their speedy passage.
When these are accomplished the
not less important matter of pen
sious should be taken mp and SO dis
posed of as to make its solution a
tinality. The silver question, the
navy question, and the coast-defense
question are TO be dealt with. Dill
gent as Congress may be, the time
is short proportional to The work to
be done; and it is work that must
he done if the approval Of the coun-
try is to be gained Delay always
is dangerous; just now it may be
fatal The virtue of industry can
not be too highly rated by the Re

amples, none is perhaps more re-
markable than the wonderful in
crease, totally disproportionate to
to our increase of population, in our
imports Of products which are dis
tinctly agricultural. In 1850 the
imports of such products amounted
TO 40 million dollars; for the fiscal
year ending in 1889 they amounted
to the enormous sum Of $50 millions,
an increase Of nearly 900 per cent,
while the increase in population
during the corresponding period
was considerably less than 800 per
cent. This is all the more remark
able when taken in conjunction with
the fact that this is pre-eminently
an agricultural country, opening up
year after year with rapidity which
has alarmed the producers of the
Old world, immense tracts of eoun-
try to be devoted exclusively to
tillage; all the more remarkable
when we realize furthermore that
over 70 per cent. of our total exports
are the direct product Of the soil.
Accompanying this unique move
ment there has been during the past
decade, in which the greatest iu-
crease Of such imports has taken
place, q steady decrease IN the prices
of home gro,on products. To any
reasonable man the conclusion must
be obvious namely, that in the line
OF products, with the exception of
cotton, upon which our farmers
chiefly depend, there has grown up
a well-uigh ruiuous competition in
which the labor of the peasant of
Europe, of the miserable fellah of
Egypt, and of the unfortunate half
starved Indian ryot, working for
pauper wages, neglectlng all the
amenities Of life in order mat
women and children as we'll as men
may work in the fields, is pitted
against that Of the American farm
err, relying upon his own and his
sons labor, or where he employs
hired help, paying them a fair rate
Of wages according to our American
standard, besides providing them
with the same food and shelter as
he gives to his own family.

WASHING TON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WAsuINGroN, d. c., April, 2j lS

The President evidently values
the preconcerted democratic attacks
upon Senator Quay for about what
they are worth, as within the past
foru-eighty hours Nj. Quay has
been cordially received at the
White House and his advice
asked upon several important
state matters. The principal cause
of the democratic dislike Of Mr..
Quay is fear Of him as a political
manager. Mr.. Quay is all right
aud viii remain SO, despite the
barking Of the little ours.
The old, old story of the usur-
patton by the Senate of prerogative
properly belonging to the House
was once more brought up before
the latter by discussion of the
Legislature appropriation bill, and
while q number Of members made
remarks complaining of the usur-
patton none of them suggested any
practical way Of stopping il. tits %

ncIe Je1y" and the Farmers.


President Harrison made a happy
hit when he selected Ex-Governor
Rusk, Of Wisconsin, for the Secre-
taryship of the Department of Az
riclture. Among all our public men
there is no warmer or more popular
friend of the farmers than "Uncle
Jerry" He will not waste the APP
preparation for his department in
Improbable and costly expert
ments, or in the encouragement of
fancy farming, such as capitalists
indulge In As "A pastlme, or dreamers
resort to in illustration of the
proyerb, "the fool and his money
are soon parted lie is As truly
the farmers friend as "Poor Rich
ard" was in his day, and herein he
is a most worthy successor of Ben
jamin Franklin. We have already
called attention 70 his general ex-
PLANTATION of the agricultural depres-
sion, but the subject is too vast and
vital to be dismissed. The most
serious problem of the hour is now
to afford relief from this depression.
Right here it may be observed
that the depression does not extend
to the Pacific slope The farmers
on that coast are more than usually
prosperous, and that from Mexico
To British Columbia, especially ia
Southern California. We do not
refer at all to real estate speculation.
The farmers out there who tore
down their vines and cut their vine
yards into building lots, allured on
by visions of fabulous wealth from
the growth of new cities, may have
been caught in the lurch, but those
who kept right on Saving wood :"
are getting good returns for their
time and money, provided they only
observe the good old rule that che
who by the pillow would thrive, him
self must hold or drive" TINS may
be more prose than poetry, accord
lll@ ~ tAN th'ANlh hLtluAtU Oh liter
airy art, but it is certainly good
sound sense.
1t might be difficult to say which
is the greater cause of this depres-
sion, lower prices for products Or
greater cost Of living The prises
of the things the farmer buys may
have fallen as much as the prices Of
what he has go sell, but uea wants
are constantly sprjngiug up. Com
pare the present with the period
just before the war. The farmers
we're just beginning then to have
patent machinery for their work.
while now the first cost Of the tool,
and machines Of many a farmer
comes well up toward the value Of
his land itself Of course the land
varies in price with its remoteness
or nearness TO the great markets,
but there is a great deal Of positive
extravaganza IN this line of pur.
chase, and still more waste In allow.

It's True, IT'S Pity. Pity IT'S, 'Tis True.

More than two-thirds of our sick
folks are treated by ignorant and I'M
skillful physicians, and were it not for
the wonderful recuperative power Of
nature, n much larger proportion
would be hurried prematurely into
the grave ON account of erroneous
treatment. People are mostly them
selves to blame. They are long
time getting sick but demand imme-
date relief. So for dyspepsia and
indigestion the doctor prescribes a ca
thartic pill, for an calculated stomach
some alkali, for pain some hot lini-
ment, for sleeplessness some narcotic,
for skin diseases some external oint-
ment, and so might erroneous treat
ment be enumerated to greater length,
but enough it is to show the doctor
aims to give quick temporary relief,
without hope or expectation of any
permanent good. Now nine times out
of ten dyspepsia, weak stomach, aches,
pains, sleeplessness, nervousness, skin
diseases, etc, owe their origin to a
state of defective circulation and blood
impurity, and the use of that scien-
tific remedy invented by the eminent
DIR. Bull, of Louisville, Ky, would
effect permanent cure. 1t is called
DIR. Bulls Sarsaparilla. Demand it
of your druggist. Take no other.
