WEATHER CROP BULLETIN
For the Week Ending Tuesday, Sep
tember y, 1892.

TENDER u, 1892.
Weather conditions during the past
week have been favorable to the far
mer. A general frost on Monday
morning did no damage. and several
warm days previous did much to ma
ture the late fields OF corn, which is at
this date nearly all out and in the
shock. Reports are quite unanimous
in pronouncing the crop fair one.
That SO little harm has been done by
the frequent frosts Of September may
be accounted for by the fact that the
frost line in temperature was APP
preached by gradual stages during the
latter part of August, slowly inuring
plant life to the coming cold. 1t is
the shock caused by sudden trans
actions from abnormally high tempera
ture to the frost point that kills.
Ia Waupaca county the yield of po-
tatoes is large and the quality excel
lent, but from nearly all other sections
much damage is reported by rot, and
the yield is light.
Cranberries are mostly picked and
the yield is very light. At the August
meeting of the growers it was esti-
mated that the yield would be a light
one not more than 10000 barrels.
Mr.. j. H. Trent, Secretary Of the
Growers Association, now reports that
not over 90 per cent Of the August
estimate has been realized. Injury to
the vines by severe frosts during the
growing season of 1891, and an unfav-
orabe winter, doubtless caused the
shortage.
Rye and winter wheat have gone
into the ground this year under very
favorable circumstances and the early
Sown fields are now above ground, with
the acreage above the average.
Tobacco is curing well in the sheds.

The Questions at Issue.

The instant that natural conditions,
lawful purposes and just limitations of
taxation are violated, the instant that the
state takes property from it's citizens that
is not needed or takes inequitably that
which is needed, that instant the exercise
OF the power becomes a matter Of wiz and
might and not of law and right. The
greatest evils that characterize free and
popular governments of today are evils
that result from the abuse of taxation,
and their magnitude and tendency to in
crease are so great as to make the boast
of individual freedom on the part Of
citizens in respect to the full ownership
and control of their property very often
little more than an unmeaning phrase.
Shall these abuses be recognized and
tolerated, and tendency to further
progress in this same direction be en-
couraged, or shall they be met with
stern and uncompromising protests, i'm
mediate check, and ultimate complete
arrest and prevention? These are the
real questions at issue at the present
time between the two great political
parties of this country, and the situa.
ton exemplifies anew the lesson of his
tory-that all the great contests for
freedom from the earliest times have
originated in abuses of taxation.-David
A. Wells in Forum.

How Tanamaker Got There.

RepubIlcan organs are accustomed to
treat lightly the charge made by the
Democrats that the present postmaster
general was put in the cabinet as re-
ward for his services in raising money
for election purposes four years ago
But the truth of this charge is clearly
established by the admissions of the
very men who helped Wanamaker to
raise that famous 100000 few days
before the election.
The rich manufacturers of Philadel-
phla who contributed most Of the great
corruption fund for Quay's use, are
members of the Philadelphia Manufac-
turers' club, an organization of high
protectionists. The organ Of the club is
The Manufacturer. Soon after Wanna
makers appointment as postmaster gem
eral this journal said:
''It is to the men that give the cash
that a large, if not the largest, share of
success is due. We make the assertion
that the money contributed by this club
last year had more influence upon the
result Of the national election than all
the skill, the ingenuity, the labor and
the wire pulling of all the professional
politicians in Philadelphia. We believe
this proposition to be capable of positive
proof. If, therefore, control Of patron
age is rightly the reward of victorious
effort, the right of this club to name the
federal officeholders of Philadelphia rests
upon solid ground"
They accepted Wanamaker's appoint
ment as the reward for the fat which
was fried out of them, and did not hest
tate to publish the fact. And the Re
publican party used to boast that it was
the "party of high moral ideas.''

For the President to Answer

President Harrison says in his letter
of acceptance: ''No intelligent advocate
of a protective tariff claims that is able,
of itself, to maintain uniform rate Of
wages without regard to fluctuations in
the supply of and demand for the prod
ucts of labor. But it is confidently
claimed that protective duties strongly
tend to hold up wages, and are the only
barrier against reduction to a Eu-
ropean scale"
A sufficient answer to which is the
following comparison between the week
ly wages of England and of Germany:

Tws Specimen Protectionists.

The two following incidents throw a
curious light upon McKinleyism as a
corrupting force in our political life,
and the fact that they have been extern
sively exploited by Republican newspa-
pers as campaign material is still more
curious thing.
A Philadelphia firm, which seems to
be the only concern in this country man.
ufacturing phosphorus, writes letter to
Governor Mckinley to say that they
"are doing prosperous business" as
the result of the higher protection which
he gave them. The letter closes with
trusting that the country at large will
see that it is vitality to the interest of the
prosperity of the whole country that
protective tariff principles shall triumph
at the coming election"
The milk in the cocoanut for this firm
is that Mckinley raised the duty on
phosphorus from ten cents pound to
twenty cents. Of course they will now
vote for Republican protection and pre-
tend that "the prosperity of the whole
country demands that all the match
manufacturers and match burners in
the United States should be taxed for
the benefit of this one Philadelphia
firm!
The second incident is the "conver-
sion" Of one j. II. Clark, silk manu-
facturer of Cobleskill, N. Y. This man
is represented by the protectionist or
gans as changing his politics for the
money there is in protection for him.
The New York Tribune represents him
as saying: 1T is protection pure and
simple that has enabled me to float this
silk mill. Protection is great thing.
1t has made my factory" And the milk
in his cocoanut is a duty of 80 to 60 per
cent. on silk goods.
1t is not strange that these two manu-
facturers should confess, in effect, that
Mckinley has SO used the taxing power
Of the government as to buy their votes.
Nor is it strange that Republican organs
should parade such confessions before
the public without shame.
The singular thing is that they expect
to win votes in this way. But they are
mistaken. Facts like these can but
serve to show the people the insidious
corruption that turks in protection. The
Republican papers are simply proving
that McKinleyism is a vast vote buying
scheme carried on at public expense.

Mckin1eyism Weakening in PhiladeI phia.

1t is probable that Chairman Carter
and Governor Mckinley regard Penn
sylvania as safe politically, and there
fore they can evade unpleasantly search
ing discussion of the tariff law, but they
should not forget that the Mckinley
bill levied increased and needless taxes
on the necessaries of business that en-
ploys tens of thousands Of wageworkers
in this city; that increased the cost of
the necessaries of life to all industrial
people; that it's promise of increased
wages to labor has proved to be mock
cry and lie, and that there are today
in this city thousands Of wageworkers
who are hesitating about continuing
their support of tariff that protects
only monopoly and Expresses the indus
trial people of the land. The Mckinley
tariff needs defense in Philadelphia, as
both Chairman Carter and Governor
Mckinley may learn before election day.
