advocate of free coinage, pointing
with pride" to the platform, while
in the middle and eastern states
the voters will be told that the
platform means nothing and that
free coinage will be impossible with
Cleveland in the Presidential chair.
If these tactics are adopted it will
be but a continuation of the old
Democratic policy of advocating
one thing in one section of the
country and another or half dozen
others in as many sections. The
National Democratic party has no
convictions which it isn't ready at
all times to barter for a prospect OF
electoral votes.

A MOST interesting census bull
letin is that which shows that the
United States has only 1866 pau
pers, one to each 643 inhabitants,
while Great Britain, the home of
free trade, has 990,155 paupers, or
one to every So inhabitants. This
furnishes striking object lesson of
the effects of free trade and of pro-
lection as national policies It
would be still more striking on the
side of protection if the fact were
shown, as it undoubtedly exists,
that a very considerable percentage
OF the paupers came from European
countries previous to the incoming
of the present administration,
which has by it's vigilance and the
aid of Republican Congress, which
amended our immigration laws, re
duced the landing of pauper immi-
grants upon our shores to mini
mum.

The return of General Clarkson,
president of the Republican Nation
al League, from Europe, has start
ed the ball of the Presidential cam
paign to rolling and the individual
members of the clubs comprising
the league will see to it that it does
not stop until the people have
again endorsed the American policy
by electing another Republican
President. BY the way, have you
joined a Republican club yet? L
not, lose no time in doing so.

IT looks now as if the Democratic
party would next year refuse to
break it's previous record for sailing
under false colors by nominating
Cleveland on free coinage plat
form. Thus the advocates of free
coinage could be urged to support
the ticket because of the platform,
and the opponents of free coinage
to support the platform because of
the Well-knoWn views of the head

Gov. CAMPBELL is quoted as say

been better to have restricted the
free coinage to native silver" Does
TIE Governor not know that the
present silver law is practically the
same thing as law for the coinage
of all American silver, as the Sec
rotary of the Treasury is compelled
to purchase an amount of silver
bullion monthly which is equal to
the entire American production ?

McKinIey Prices of Manufactures.


Evidently the tendency Of prices
has proved disappointing for the
political prophets who less than a
year since filed the country with
their cries of higher prices. Erst-
while blatant heralds of Mckinley
prices" now roar as gently as any
sucking doves, while thoughtful
voters are given time for compari-
son of last years price lists with
those of to-day.
If voters who were stampeded a
year ago and temporarily corraled
in the free trade fold now seek to
discover what frightened them, they
will be forced to the conclusion that
only blank cartridges were fired,
and that after all nobody was hurt
by the explosion.
The tariff on woods was slightly
increased, and corresponding ad-
vancement made on some lines Of
wooden fabrics; but the fact re
mains that the family man now buys
both clothing and carpets as cheap
ly as ever before. A few cents was
also added to the charge against
foreign manufacturers for selling
certain lines of cutlery; but good
pocket knife can still be had for it's
last years price, while table cut
lery and mechanical tools were
never so cheap as in this year of
grace and Mckinley prices. Twen-
ty-fvc dollars per ton additional
tariff was demanded from the tin
plate autocrats of Great Britain;
but even if this could be distributed
among retail purchasers Of tinwares,
it would not figure above one third
of cent on a pint cup, and not
over two or three cents on milk
pan or a dinner pail. Consequent
ly, the jobber pockets the slight
difference in first cost and begs his
customers to continue buying at
former prices.
It is right here in this tin bust
ness that surprise lies in store
for those who those who are led to
believe that no progress is being
made toward tin-plate manufac-
ture in this country. Reckless
men may deny it, and foolish men
may believe their assertions, but
the fact remains that already con-
siderable quantity of homemade tin
plates are being turned out, and
that additional plants are being
perfected as rapidly as the amount
and magnitude of necessary ma
chinery will permit. Those who
deem it advisable to sheer at the
incipiency of preparations in this
direction carefully omit mention Of
the fact that the tin clause in the
present law did not take effect until
July I, 1891.
Neither are tariff reformers Just
now talking about sugar in very
loud tones. Although the sugar
clause did not take effect until
April, retail prices of that univer-
sal household necessity have com
pletely discredited predictions that
free sugar would benefit nobody
outside the ring of those refiners
who SO long dominated the market.
But this significant silence as to
sugar should not be permitted to
conceal the fact that every demand
for repeal of the Mckinley law is a
demand for restoring duties, which
would amount to more than double
all the increase provided for in that
measure.

Mr.. Frank McGarey.

Died, at the residence of Mr.. Edward
Jones, in Mineral Point, on Tuesday
morning, Nov. 3, 1891, after an illness
of several months, Mr.. Frank McGarey;
aged "a years, months and q days.
Deceased was an industrious and
excellent young man. He was en-
plOyed in the Zinc works until about
i've months ago, when on account of a
serious ailment of the digestive organs
he was compelled To quit work. He
secured the best medical advice here
and also in Chicago; but human skill
was unayailing. The young man
bore his atiliction patiently and brayely,
and sank to rest with a firm hope Of
everlasting life.
The funeral, which was held from
st. Paul's Catholic church on Thurs
day, was very largely attended, by
friends who held the deceased in high
esteem.
His invalid mother, whose support
the deceased had been, passed away
only a few weeks ago.

University Extension.

The University of Wisconsin offers
a course of lectures, conferences and
examinations to communities which
may desire them during the winter of
1912, The courses are offered for
the purpose of instruction and not for
simple entertainment. They will be
carried out essentially on the English
plan, known as the University EXten-
sion. The lectures will be given in
series of six upon each general theme.
The expenses for course will be sixty
dollars and the expenses of the lee
turer, Chat is, tea dollars per lecture
and expenses) This is very small fee,
but to place it higher would seem to
put the lecture beyond the reach of the
smaller towns. The lectures will be
given once week or once in two
weeks.
The following from the Wisconsin
Journal Of Education sets forth the
object of these lectures and describes
the manner in which they will be con
Quoted:
University extension promises, IL
successful, to bring back the public lee
ture to its former position and useful
ness. The lecture has of late become
cutie largely merely means Of
amusement. The humorist, the story
teller, the high-nying declaimer, the
speaker who can deeply stir the
emotions these are chiefly in demand.
1t must certainly be said that the
lectures Of this sort are unobjectiOn-
able. They are indeed among the best
forms of amusement. But there is
still place for the lecture which has
more serious purpose, which aims to
instruct and inspire rather than to
amuse. The University extension
lectures will seek to fill this place.
They will treat Of some important
branch of knowledge, and will be given
in series Of six by one lecturer and
on one general theme. SO far as they
are furnished from the State Univer-
sity they will be given by instructors
in that institution. A syllabus of the
lecture will be furnished and reading
references given SO that those who are
SO inclined may study the subject for
themselves. There will be also in CON
nectIon with the lectures a quiz in
which the professor will meet those
who are studying the subject for the
purpose of fuller conference with
them, guiding and testing their work
and helping to solve their difficulties
so far as possible. At the close of the
course an opportunity will be offered
to those attending the lectures and the
quiz TO be examined on their work,
and credit will be given them when
successful to count towards a Univer-
sity course. This statement exhibits
the serious character of the work in
tended. The quiz and the examin-
alton, however, are entirely voluntary,
so that many who attend the lectures
will not take them. While dealing
with serious and important subjects the
the lecturers will endeayor to make
their presentation simple and as inter
esting as the conditions admit.

TEACHERS, NOTICE!
System in the Supervisor of District
Schools.

System in the Supervisor of District
Schools.
The supervision Of the district and
graded schools, to be eifectual must
be systemaNaed, and this can be &C.
oompliShed best by means of u thor
ough, complete system OF reports,
Such n system we have attempted
to originate and put into operation,
but have not yet completed,
The first series Of reports are made
by qualified teachers ON engaging
school, in which, among other things
they report the length of term, time
of beginning, district and town IN
which it is located, These we make
record OF and use in determining time
of visiting, and in sending educational
notices and literature to teachers, and
in various other ways.
Now, II is essential that ALL teachers
should PROMPTLY make this report
on engaging school or Il is of little
value, 1t is not necessary that teachers
have u form to make this report by,
but they can write on any piece of
paper
AS u number of teachers, this
fall, have carelesSly or ncgllgently
omitted TO make this report, | have
concluded, after careful consideration
to condition the validity Of certificates
on the making Of this report rs we'll
rs on the report of classification, etc;
SO that teachers who fail 10 make
these reports, forfeit their certificates.
The second, and at present the only
other series ot reports required of
teachers, is u report of the classification
of their respective schools, the ad.
Vancement or progress of the different
classes, and other matters pertaining TO
to the condition of the schools, These
reports to be made ONLY on blank
forms furnished 10y the superintendent
at the close of term of school; and
whore one teacher tnstucts the same
school two or moro terms, II Is only
necessary for him 10 make this report
at close OF the said several terms, and
NOT at the close of each of them.
by means Of these reports we are
enabled to keep informed rs to the
condition of all the schools at all
times, and place work on schools that
need It at the proper time, They do
not render personal visitation unneces-
sary, but they direct the intelligent
exercise Of IT, and give information
that 1t cannot possibly afford.
We cannot spend more than one TO
three hours time in each school, and
that only once year, and not always
at opportuno timosi 30 that, with
visitation alone, one can get but n
meager knowledge of the progress of
that school, hence this series of reports
of reports Is an absolute necessity.
The blanks will he left with the
different teachers when visiting the
schools, or mailed TO them IN care of
district clerks.
When the above reports are in fun
operation, the supervision Of the com
mon schools OF Iowa county viii Gp-
| proXimate system, and another
point be made toward their improve.
