The United States supreme court
has solved the rather difficult problem
of properly taxing sleeping car COM
panies. In a recent discussion the
rule is laid down that the state can
tax such a proportion of the capital
stock of any sleeping car company as
the mileage carried by the cars of
the company within the state bears
to the total mileage over which
the company's cars .un. A bill to
conform with this rule should be
framed without delay and passed at
the present session of the Wisconsin
legislature. The collection of a
reasonable tax from the sleeping car
companies would largely increase the
revenues of the state.

win Take the Responsibility.

The statement that the Democratic
party is afraid to undertake the revision
of the tariff Mr.. Voorhees, pronounces as
an insult to the intelligence of the men
who compose the party. "There never
were truer words spoken" he said, ethan
those used in the Democratic platform
to characterize the Republican party
policy. We have denounced it in our
platform as a robbery and fraud, and
preached it from every stump in the
country. The senate is just as enthusi-
astic in the matter of the coming re-
vision of the tariff as the house can pos
sibly be, and is perhaps more set in it's
purpose. We will assume all response
bility, and are ready to begin tomorrow
if need be.
"All the intelligence and wisdom of the
country is not in the Republican party,
and when that party dies all wisdom
will not die, nor will all wisdom have
departed when its majority has departed
from the senate. The Democratic party
can be depended on to do two things
remove the unjust burdens of taxation
from the necessaries of life and provide
the necessary revenues for the govern
ment. The Republicans are prone to
talk of our mistakes, but theirs have
been crimes. If we were tyros in the
science of government we would not do
worse than they, but we will give the
people relief from the burdens with
which they have been oppressed since
the Republicans came into power. The
vote of the people at the recent election
shows wherein they put their confidence,
and that confidence will not be mis-
placed. New Age.

THE CURSE OF TARIFF TAXES.

They Increase the Cost of Farming and
Burden Instead of Protect.
What folly to talk about tariffs rails
ing wages or being the cause of high
wages! Does passenger train make a
mile minute because it is propelled by
the Pullman sleeper attached to the rear?
Does wagon run easier when one wheel
is locked?
Tariff taxes always lock the wheels of
progress. They are SO much dead weight
that has to be tugged around by the in
dustr1al machinery. They increase the
cost of raw materials and at the same
time the cost of manufactured articles,
thus lessening the ability of manufac-
turers to compete, reducing the quantity
Of manufactured products, lessening the
demand for labor and decreasing wages.
They increase the cost Of farm nipple
ments and the cost of clothing and other
manufactured articles, and thus burden
the industries that they cannot protect,
leaving smaller rewards for farmers and
farm laborers. They can protect only
few manufacturers by giving them in
creased profits, and mine and timber
owners by giving them increased rents.
All comes out of the wage Garner and
the unprotected industries in decreased
wages, lessened production, increased
rents and cost of living and greater cost
OF raw materials. And yet we are told,
and it is believed by many intelligent
people, that our prosperity is due to tariff
taxes. -
Look out over the civilized world, and
see If there is in practice any solid foun-
dalton for this absurd belief. None
whatever. Everywhere the compare
lively high wage products undersell the
low wage products. The two countries
where wages are highest are Australia
and the United States. The chief prod
ucts of both are agricultural, and yet
these countries supply low wage Europe
with farm products, grains, provisions,
etc. Of the Old World countries England
pays by far the highest wages. Her chief
products are manufactures, which she
sells not only in all the European coun-
tries, but even in India and China, where
wages are still lower. Not only is her
high priced labor more than a match for
C1iO AZ" pllCCu 1dDOI VI Uu0 O1u w OTlu,
but her prosperity at home and promi-
nence upon the sea date from the time
she began with free trade and higher
wages.
According to the Mckinley Carnegie
theory, China and Russia and Spain
should with their labor run England out
of the markets of the world. On the
contrary, we see that these countries are
all protected" by tariffs from England.
Wages are not high because of taxes Of
any kind, but in spite of them, and be
cause labor is more efficient and pro-
duces more.
The first step to success is self asser-
ton and independence. It applies to
nations as well as to individuals. AS
virtue brings it own reward, so do folly
and sin bring their own evils.

The able speech recently delivered
by Hon. A. r. Bushnell in support OF
the joint resolution proposing an
earlier commencement Of presidential

very well received by the house. Mr..
Bushnell is not only a sound demo-
crat, but progressive democrat, as
well, and believes in making the will

Villas as "boss," in place of their re-

Villas will therefore be counted lucky

Press Opinions of Senator Mitchell.

The Madison Times.
The nomination of Congressman
John l.. Mitchell means that Wiscon-
sin will send to the United States
senate a gentleman in every way emf
nentiy qualified for his position. AS a
scholar, as q soldier, as q thorough
business man, as an able legislator,
and as loyal Democrat, Mr.. Mitchell
needs no formal introduction at this
time, but as public benefactor il can
truly be said that few mn Of wealth
have done mere for charity than he.
Not only in the city of Milwaukee,
where his generosity is proverbial, but
throughout the whole state may be
found Instances of his noble work in
rendering financial assistance to
worthy persons and institutions.
AS an honest, upright citizen, as a
gentlem an of high character, Mr.. Nit
chell possesses all those traits that are
to be admitted, and his career in the
United States senate will prove him to
be statesman, faithful to every inter
est of the people.
Madison Democrat
In Senator Mitchell the party will
have an able counselor, and a wise
legislator in that great council, the
most august body of lawmakers on
earth. He is young man, in the full
yigor and maturity of his powers. He
is man of large affairs, and familiar
with the great objects that now de-
mand the best thinking of our best
men. The democracy of the state is
to be congratulated that SO good a
man, so strong man, SO sterling a
democrat has been chosen. In this
remark no disparagement is implied
of the other gentleman whose friends
have stood by them SO gallantly in
this earnest but friendly contest.
Their worth, their ability and their
deserving none question.
The Milwaukee Journal.
While all Democrats may not regard
him as an ideal senator, John l..
Mitchell is man who is destined to
grow in the confidence of the masses
of the party as the learn more about
him. He is we'll educated and we'll
balanced man. His career in the
house has been very creditable. He
has been good working Democrat in
and out of the state. He was am
bilious to reach seat in the senate
and it is his ambition not his wealth
that puts him there. There can be
no suspicion of unfair means attached
to his campaign. The final stroke in
it was simply choice on the part of
Col. Knights supporters between Col.
Mitchell and Gen. Bragg.
The Shullsburg Local.
The democratic majority in the Wis
consln legislature did grandly in elect
ing John l., Mitchell to one of the
highest offices in the gift of the people
of the state. Mr.. Mitchell is demo.
crat with big D, and never was any.
thing else but a democrat. He is a
native of Wisconsin, and is endowed
with every qualification to do honor

Two Precincts in Hsnrico.
Rather an unusual proceeding occurred
ut the Henrico county courthouse yes
terday. when some scamp effected an en-
trance into the committee-room and
stole the entire number Of ballots from
two OF the precincts in the county, before
the Democratic committee had an OPP
portunity TO canvass the returns The
committee was TO meet at II o'clock, but
some OF the members were a little tardy
In coming, so Chairman Mitchell and MIR
G. Il. Smith. who were In the committee
room, got tired waiting. and locked the
door and went out for a while, expecting
10 return ere the members arrived. They
returned 10 the committee-room In half
an hour to find that all the ballots from
Smithers' and Hardin's precincts We're
missing IL was iascertained that the
side door, which was unlocked, nad been
entered. Behind the door In the commit
tee-room was a heavy pile OF books and
pamphlets which served TO keep the
door tightly closed. Some considerable
effort was exerted 10 force open the door,
as this pile OF books had 10 be overturned
an order 10 secure entrance into the room.
There Is no suspicion as TO the guilty
party. Some say that the proceedings
were the work OF an outsider. while
others hold that some enemy of Mr.. Bin
ford. one Of the candidates for the House
carried away the ballots The latter
theory seems more reasonable, as both
OF the precincts were Binford strongholds
