Mr.. Cleveland Must Have Forgotten This.
The Cleveland administration of the
public land Office, after suspending final
action on nearly every entry in the
whole country full year in attempt
ing to fasten charge of fraud upon
every settler, went out of Office leaving
over 100000 cases awaiting action.
These have been all disposed of by the
Harrison administration and the work
brought down to date. The number of
patents issued to farmers by the Harri-
son administration is nearly ten times
as many as the Cleveland administration
issued in the same length of time.

Loss to Farmers and Manufacturers.

A Washington special says: 1.-The
cutting down of the consular appropria-
ton by congress at its last session will
have the effect of Gripping this impor-
tant branch of public service. Consider
ing the size and wealth of the country
our consul service is not what it should
be. 1t is not as well supported as that
of England, France or Germany, and is
consequently not as efficient. It is re-
ported at Washington that the depart
ment of state, in consequence of the re-
duction of the appropriation, will be
obliged to suspend the publication of
the consular reports that have proved to
be so valuable to the country"

More Gray Than Blue Under Democrats.
The ex-Confederate Democrats are
looking with anxiety to the result of the
coming election, which they hope may
give them control of the senate again.
Senator Benjamin Harrison, in a report
submitted to the senate in 1882, showed
that the Democratic sergeant-at-arms of
the senate had ex-Confederates as about
16 per cent. Of his force, and that the
secretary Of the senate had over % per
cent. of his force made up of Exon
federates and only IA per cent. Union
soldiers

WHAT THE PROTECTIVE TARIFF
HAS DONE.

The question Of the tariff is al
ways with us, and always will be
with US while the Republic endures.
1t is the most important question
in national politics, and one which
the people will never delegate as
in most foreign countries to their
legislative assemblies to settle.
Here the people are their own
sovereigns and they declare their
will and purpose beforehand in the
ballot box.
Whether the tariff shall be one
which, while furnishing a revenue
also furnishes a protection to
home industries, or whether it
shall be one designed to secure
revenue without any regard to
home production-these questions
will come up for settlement by the
people, in some form or other,
with every presidential election.
In a country like ours reaching
from the confines of the frozen sea
on the North to the tropics on the
South there will always remain
wide differences of opinion of
opinion honestly held and enter
tanned as to which form of tariff
is the most desirable, the most
advantageous for special localities.
After all it is a question of
selfish motives and interests. The
question for the people of Wiscon-
SIN to determine by their votes is
which form of governmental policy
IS best adapted to the growth and
prosperity of the state. AS Gov.
Hoard said in his speech here, two
years ago, it touches the pocket
nerve. "
Each of the two great political
parties advocate tariff Of some
sind.
Briefly stated the Democratic
2arty believe in a tariff for revenue,
pure and simple. A tax levied
apon imposts sufficient to carry on
1he operations Of government.
With them a tariff is a tax without
any manner Of doubt.
On the other hand the Re-
publican party believe that some
hing more should be done. While
furnishing a revenue for the govern
.nent tariff should be SO levied
upon imported goods as to pro-
ct and stimulate and diversity
american productions. 1t should
aot be SO high as to prohibit inn
@DrtS-nOr SO low as to cut off
nd shut out home competition.
ere is a wide demarkation be-
tveen the two parties.
Now we have lived under a pro-
t1ctive tariff for the last thirty
years changing its features, from
ne to time, to meet the rapid
changes in the development of the
country At times, as in 1888
under a mistaken popular clamol
.or free wool we have yielded only
= find in the end we have made q
-revous mistake and that pros
Dcrity comes by retracing oul
a,cps. What has been the history
Of that period?

ieorge Baber, who has the courage

Cutler Creek Camp.

OURAY, Colo. Feb. 25.-The new gold
strike on Cutler creek is panning out
well. Mill returns show over forty
ounces in gold to the ton. Thorough
prospecting is being done, and quite a
camp is already established there. There
is no undue boom and parties i'll interest
are endeavoring to avoid one, After the
snow has disappeared and the locality
can be prospected on its merits it will
then be time enough to speculate on its
possibilities. Old California miners are
confident it will result IN one of the
richest camps in rhc history of aurifer-
GUS mining. More than 100 men are
delving there, prospecting, working as
sessments, making trails and building
cabins.
