California, but they obtain the best

But blankets are offered in retail shops
at all prices, from $50 pair down to IS
cents, the wool gradually growing light
er in weight until it finally disappears
in the blankets below S. pair, which
are made entirely of cotton. The lowest
price at which wooden blankets can be
purchased is 50 a pair, and light weight
at that. If it We're not for the tariff on

In the candidacy Of Hon. A. d.
Krouskop, for Representative in Con-
gress from the Third district, voters
are given the opportunity to empha-
size their belief in the necessity OF
tariff reduction. His opponent, Mr.
Babcock, is a lumber baron, who is
specially interested in retaining the
tariff Of from S100 to $3.50 pei
thousand on lumber, which tax works
a great injustice to the people OF the
district. DO the people wish to fur
Their enrich the lumber barons by hav-
ing this tax retained? If they do

hosiery and underwear Is cents and 80
cents for the same quality Of goods
which three years ago sold for IS cents
and 81 cents respectively"
Under this head are included linens,
handkerchiefs, table, stair and floor
cloths, towels, napkins and white goods
generally. Before the war there was q
uniform tariff rate of 10 per cent. ON all
linen goods, which was advanced during
the war, owing to the necessities of the
government, to IS and 40 per cent, until
1888, when the 40 per cent. rate was
abolished and the uniform rate of 35 per
cent. retained. The Mckinley act re-
tanned the 35 per cent. rate only on such
linen goods as contained 100 or more
threads to the square inch, but increased
the rate upon all other linen goods to SO
per cent. ad valorem. This discrimina-
ton was made to favor the contributors
to the Harrison campaign fund of 1888
in Troy, who are largely engaged in the
manufacture of linen collars.
1.-THE first result of the Mckinley act,
says Mr.. Potts, of the white goods i'm
porting house of ]. B. Locke & Potts, in
Franklin street, "was to cause the for
eign manufacturers to change all the
goods which were formerly made of 90
threads to 100 threads to the square inch,
but the most serious result to the Ameri-
can buyer was the change in the quality
Of the goods. Linen handkerchiefs which
are offered at retail for Is and so cents
each have been reduced In quality so
that they can be sold at the same price
as before the Mckinley act went into
operation. The same is true of house
keeping linens, table cloths, napkins,
damasks, towels, floor linen, etc. In
each instance the manufacturers have
met the prices of the retail dealers by
grading down the quality Of the goods
to suit their customers. The American
buyer is now paying for handkerchiefs,
towels and other articles in the house
keeping line IS and so cents for the same
quality of goods which, under the tariff
Of 1888, could have been bought for 1871
and 371a cents respectively. The duty
on terry goods and bath towels was in
creased under the Mckinley act about
80 per cent, and the domestic manu-
facturers of these goods have put up
their prices % per cent, which means
that 371s cent towel is now sold for SO
cents"
This article of universal domestic use
is not imported, the entire market be-
ing controlled by domestic manufac-
turers. The prices, however, are af-
fected by the tariff on raw wool, which
leads to considerable depression in the
quality of blankets at popular prices. The

Which Will You Trust +?

The Hudson True Republican.
Since the democratic state admins
tration went into power, it has turned
into the state treasury $4,000, the
amount received as interest on the pub
lie fund. An amount corresponding to
this was put into the pockets of the
republican treasurers. A judgment
stands against them for 100000 of the
peoples money. The reason the repub-
lican ex-treasurers find it hard to pay
back is because they paid part of it in
to the Republican campaign fund.
Which party will the people trust, the
one that has paid thousands of dollars
into the treasury where it belongs, or
the one that put into their pockets and
and into the campaign fund.-

The County SUPERINTENDENT.

To The Iowa County Democrat.
In the DodgevilIe Chronicle of the
18th ult,, appears an article on the
County Superintency," purporting to
be written by "a Friend of Educa-
tion," who claims an intimate knowl-
edge of the qualifications of the can
didates of the two leading parties"
Instead of being a fair and candid
article, it is a deliberate slur on, and
an insult to, the Democratic candidate,
Mr.. Michael A. Torphy.
1t is a combination of special plead
ing for the republican candidate and
direct malicious misrepresentation Of
his Democratic opponent, Mr. Torphy.
1t has been a public misfortune :"
that state school matters for long
terms Of years have been in charge Of
men elected by the republican party,
as is proven by events in the last two
years. They have been enemies of
education, stealing the interest on
school funds, thereby lessening the
benefit Of the fund; and Iowa county
has had a public misfortune in more
than one Republican county superin-
tendent of schools. We need not
mention names, as some are of two
recent odor to be forgotten. So when
this self-styled =" friend Of education :"
next wishes to vilify and in ure a
nominee Of some other party than the
republican, let him steer clear of edu-
cational matters.
Mr.. Torphy has been principal of
the Ridgeway graded schools for six
successive terms and has brought it up
to a standard of excellence not sur
passed by any school Of its class in
Iowa county. Mr.. Torphy has had to
be teacher of teachers as we'll as a
| teacher Of pupils, and it cannot be
said that he has not advanced both to
higher plain.
In my official capacity | have re-
ceived from l.. ID. Harvey, late candi-
date on the republican ticket for Sup
erintendent of Public Instruction of
this state and Prof. Hutton of Platte
vile, letters highly commendatory to
Mr.. Torphy's abilities as a scholar and
a teacher. The above named gentle
men are friends of education; nay,
more, they are men thoroughly able
and competent to pass an opinion as
to the merits or dement's of any
teacher in the state, which is far more
than the author Of the Chronicles vitu-
peratiye screed is capable of. Mr..
Torphy has been engaged in teaching
for seventeen years and has had abil-
ity enough to command a high salary.
He also has been elected to various
offices needing the services of a man
of ability, Orphaned early, he, by
grit and perseverance, gained an edu-
cation, and has been the support of
the younger members of the family.
He is an every day man, affable and
obliging, and has the confidence of his
townsmen, as is shown by his major
tiles when elected in this republican
town before division), and in Brigham
town since division.
OF Mr.. Torphy, The Chronicle scrib-
bier says: Il do not wish to say
anything unkind;" then deliberately
proceeds to knife him in the back.
Such an attack will be resented by
good citizens throughout the county,
and will strengthen Mr.. Torphy's can
didacy.

Henry Halyerson, as county clerk, has
proved himself worthy of the over
whelming vote of confidence and es-

years ago. While his badly crippled
condition at once won the sympathy
Of the voters, his manly, honest, and

which he was chosen, is highly de-
