mail service, pension list, public debt,
and other equally worthy and impera-
tive obligations, at once brings from
both sides Of the ocean an avaianch Of
protests suggestively similsr in form
and spirit. No matter how unreason-
able tile foreigners demand, i Is sure
Of a ready echo il bis advocate here,
whatever tie treatment accorded by
voters later on.
Threats that the foreign manufacturer
will Increase the price Of his wares by
the amount Of whatever tariff is imposed,
have long served as the bogie for scar
ing voters iuto support Of schemes for
tariff reduction; and the persistence
with which this has been made to do
duty attests the yigor Of free trade adj
vocacy. But il is precisely because this
cannot be done that every importer and
foreign manufacturer is foun5 arrayed
in opposition to whatever tariff they are
compelled to pay. And it IS only the
American contingent of the free trade
propaganda that denies this fact. Eng
fish promoters Of the Golden policy are
more candid-as witness the recently
expressed regret of the Birmingham
Post that. under the terms of the Me
Kinley bill "the relief to English steel
rail producers will not much exceed
81 per ton" and that the position Of
foreign manufacturers in other lines
us likely to be worse under the new
bill than under the old one
1t certainly would be interesting it
might prove profitable If some pro-
moter Of the Golden Club doctrine in
this country would cease repeating free
trade pIatitudes long enough to explain
to inquiriug voters how a reduction in
our tariff can reisere British manufac-
turers if they have no part Of it to pay.
We pause FOR i reply
Madison journal james Neyin,
Superintendent OF the State Fish Com
mission. has been in Winneconne for the
past two weeks engaged il making ex-
pertinent, relating f. the propagation Of
white bas, This is something that has
never been attempted before During
/ this time, the members Of this fnny
species were caught and deprived Of
their spawn and attempts made to hatch
them Tie results Of the experiments
demonstrate that white bass cannot be
Matched like the pike and white fish at
the State fish hatcheries, for the eggs
hatch Sc rapdlythat they would not stand
removal. It was discovered that they
] will hatch Id thirty Fix hours when
maintained ii temperature Of nifty
six degrees Consequently the plan
that will be followed By the depart
ment viii be to pack the impregnated
eggs IN damp moss, the temperature
Of which shall lie from AZ to 81 degrees
! and plant them ia the waters desired
to be populated They Will then hatch
themselves. Mr. Nevin exhibits a gial
containing some white bass eggs and
also some small fry just Matched The
laiters We're nearly transparent, and are
claimed to lie the first bass ever Matched
bv artificial means in America. Il takes
100000 white bass eggs to fill a gallon
measure. Pike eggs are larger and run
$4,000 to the gallon During the past
year 10000 900 pike eggs have been sub
iected to the Matching process. and as q
result 30.000.000 small fry have been
planted in the waters of Wisconsin.
Superintendent Nevin States that the
demand Of fish throughout the state is
beyond the supply.
