A TRAMP LAW NEEDED.-Every
State on this Pacific coast should pass
laws which shall be more stringen. on
the class Of humanity commonly
called tramps. The laws that are now
in force are almost a dead letter so far
as doing any good in getting rid OF
the curse that this class brings on a
city. In no State is a more stringent
law needed than right here in Wash
ington. The State is overrun with
tramps from north to south, and I'M
less some measure is taken to prohibit
them from trespassing upon the rights
of others they. will soon become so
numerous that they will be curse to
the whole. State. Able-bodied men
can be noticed around saloons and
street corners importuning each pas
ser-by for money with which to pur-
chase liquor, and instances of this
kind are becoming 80 numerous as to
cause the people to demand some
remedy more than now in use.-Cen-

The Chicago Tribune has been in
terviewing Republican business men
of its city regarding the tariff. r. A.
Keyes, a member OF one Of the largest
wholesale grocery firms, says: "The
truest thing that can be said of the
Presidents message is that it is a
splendid campaign document for the
Democrats. l am a lOw-tariff Repub-
lican, and / can see the handwriting
on the wall" John B. Drake, the
hotel man, says: think that some
of the provisions of the Mckinley bill
ought to be altered. | consider the
tariff on woollens, linens, tin plate,
and, perhaps, many other things that
are not produced in the country as an
outrage and that no time ought to be
lost in removing it. l believe in a
protective tariff, but not in prohibi-
tive tariff. am warmly in favor of
reciprocity, not only with the Central
American and South American States,
but with European countries Also"
E. w. Bliss, the lawyer, says: The
Mckinley bill must be modified at
once. Its provisions are outrageous,
not only covering woollens, linens, and
tin plate, which are great matters, but
covering many smaller matters, such
as albumen paper: for instance, the
duty on which has been raised from
Is to 80 cents. The idea that the
landslide was due to local causes is all
moonshine. Therefore l regard it as
the imperative duty of the present
session of Congress to remove the OBJ
nOxious imposition at once which has
caused such revulsion." Philip d.
Armour was most emphatic of all,
talking in this strain: What policy
shall the present session Of Congress
pursue? Why, repeal the Mckinley
bill-repeal it as soon as the Lord will
let them. Let them do nothing else.
Let them repeal the Mckinley bill.
Everything else will take care of itself.
I don't think anything about the elec-
ton bill. All the present Congress
has to do is to repeal the Mckinley
bill; that's all. Is there any need of
increasing the circulating medilm2
No; there's enough, or nearly enough,
now. Your interview all resolves
tself into one thing: The Mckinley
bill must be repealed or the party is
gone. Take cigar. Good night"

NEW COUNTY,

The old question of forming a
new county out of land taken from
the counties Of Wood, Clark and
Marathon with Marshheld as the
county seat of the new territory,
is being agitated. The Marshheld
people are favoring the scheme
with united effort, but as usual will
prove Of no avail. They will
meet strong opposition in each
county. If new county was to
be formed we doubt whether
Marshfeld could obtain the county
seat as they would be in the
extreme southeast portion of the
new county. However, the new
county scheme will not work yet
awhile. The Wausau Pilot in
their last issue speaks of the
scheme as follows:
"The old scheme to take land
from Wood, Clark and Marathon
and form a new one, is being
agitated. The people in and
around Unity, Colby and Spencer
are somewhat interested in the
movement, and the different towns
are all willing to become the
county seat. However, there is
little chance for the plan to work,
as it will meet with sturdy opposi-
ton from the counties that are
proposed for the sacrifice"
LATER:-The Sentinel correspondent
at Madison in speaking of county
division schemes speaks as follows:
Zone plan proposes to change the
boundaries of Wood, Price, Marathon
and Clark and make two new counties
thereby. Senator Price may again
introduce bill to set off portion of
Jackson county which notches into
Lacrosse county and annex it to the
last named. This proposition is SAID to
be favorable to the inhabitants of the
tract affected"

Stand By the Home Market.

Cheapness is the bait with which
free trade attorneys seek to allure
the great industrial classes to aid
in destroying the home market by
smothering it with importations
from abroad. Between this time
and the next national election
voters will have opportunity for
investigating this proposition and
all that its tulillment implies. No
question can arise in connection
with the election of law makers in
the proper decision of which our
people have so much at stake.
Everything that we eat as we'll
as all that we wear is the product
Of labor. In providing many of
these, labor constitutes ninety per
cent of their cost, while the aver
age will be in excess of three
fourths. Keeping this fact in
mind, the man who depends upon
his labor for his living needs no
college professor to inform him
that wages would have to stand
the greater share Of any reduction
in cost to consumers. There can
be no escape from this alternative.
Why can European countries
produce some lines of goods
cheaper than they can be made in
the United States? Not because
they can procure the necessary
raw materials required in their
manufacture SO much cheaper, but
because labor can be had there for
one-quarter to two-thirds the price
paid here IN the same lines. 1t
requires cheap labor to produce
cheap goods in Europe, and cheap
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1891-01-22

er labor will be necessary in this
country to produce cheaper goods
here, except as this end may be
secured through improvements in
machinery equally open to both
countries.
1t is from this point of view that
the issue between Protection and
free foreign trade assumes an
especial interest for the millions of
industrial voters to whom free
trade attorneys are now so earn
estly appealing. If the price of
edible products are to be reduced,
the remuneration of the farmers
must be lessened. On the other
hand, if clothing and household
goods are to be supplied cheaper,
the work involved in their prepar-
alton must be done by somebody
who will be content with lower
wages than are now paid. If
those now working in mines and
shops and factories in the United
States will not consent to this
arrangement there will soon be
little work for them to do, for free
trade will place many lines of
goods upon the shelves of our
dealers for less money than the
same goods can now be produced
from under the scales of wages
paid in all the leading industries
by United States employers.
All of which is we'll known to
the free trade attorneys, who are
careful to keep the fact to them
selves while drumming up vote,
for their favorite policy. Meantime
those who are their proposed vic
tins had best not close their eyes
to facts patent to all who look for
them.

the course Of the document, which

Peck took occasion to comment
on education, and political history
shows that his views on and
knowledge of that subject have
undergone little change in the past
sixteen years. Only he was more
frank and candid then. He says:
This is a subject that l attack with
some ditfidence, from the perhaps
unimportant circumstance that | don't
know much about it. In fact, | never
had it, having been vacclnated in my
youth. However, as custom makes it
necessary for the executive to treat
upon the subject, / burn the bridge
and shoot at random. Education is
great thing to have in family, where
they don't keep cow. Education is to
society what the right and left bower
and ace are TO that intellectual game
called euehre. If You hold education,
and have got few small trumps to back
it, you can play it alone. Education,
like the measles and whooping cough
and humps, should set in when one is
young and has not arrived al the age of
indiscretion, or it may be everastinglv
too late, and my advice would be to
expose your children to its ravages at
the earliest period after cutting teeth
