Mighty Mean Men.

Skeptic-So the protected manufac.
turers are greatly concerned about the
welfare OF their workingmen, are they?
Believer-Why. certainly. Their great
est wish is to see all of their workers
prosperous and happy.
Skeptic-And these same manufacture
ers, then, are anxious and willing to pay
the highest wages possible, are they?
Believer-Undoubte That is why
they will always hold SO tenaciously to
protection, which prevents their work
men from competing with pauper labor
of Europe.
Skeptic-It is not then primarily and
mainly for their own benefit that they
give SO much time and money in support
of protection, is it?
Believer-Oh, no! As Congressman
Walker of Massachusetts says, 1.-THE
manufacturers of this country as such
have not the slightest direct interest in a
protective tariff" If wages were re-
duced to the European level here, our
manufacturers would still thrive, for
they would then be able to sell in any
market in the world. 1t is to prevent
the introduction here of the miserable
pauper wages system of Europe that the
manufacturers support protection.
Skeptic-Such being the case, can you
tell me why these good, unselfish manu-
facturers always import low instead of
high priced labor and why they oppose
labor unions whose main object is iden-
teal with that of the manufacturers
viz, to keep wages up?
Believer-Yes, certainly. It is-sim-
-because-well, really /
have never thought of it i'll that light. /
suppose it is because there are black
sheep among the manufacturers who are
80 selfish that they want to pay as little
instead of as much as possible for labor.
Such men are unworthy of protection,
for just as likely as not they want it LII
for themselves and would never give ~
OF it to their employees. There are s ne
mighty mean men in this world.

Amongst these trying times of our
present adversely, when business is so
stagnated as to interfere with it's own
recreation and development, items of
local interest and amusement are very
scarce; but, however, an endeayor will
be made to furnish the readers Of The
Democrat with few items.
Willard Eastman paid this village a
farewell and business call, on Monday,
preparatory to his removal to Mineral
Point.
Miss Cora Henderson,, our popular
milliner, received a social call from a
party of young folks from Montfort,
on Sunday evening.
Misses Tracie and Lena Casper took
their departure for Madison, on Mon
day, after a short visit with relatives
and friends.
Charles Dolan, after an absence of
two years, has returned from Carroll,
Iowa. for visit.
Miss Cora Nusbaum left for Madi-
son on Monday of this week.
We are glad to hear that J. W. Gum

Mining Notes.

Shul!Sburg Local
Messrs. Spensley, Mc,lhon and
Jones of Mineral Point, visited the Ida
mine on Tuesday in which they are
largely interested. They report big
bone and mineral having been struck
in one of the drifts.
Messrs. Hoskins and Orion, of Oar
lington, have leased part of the John
Quinlan mining land near Cuba City,
and will commence mining operations
as soon as the snow disappears.
The famous Ida mine of Benton has
again come to the front by reason of
having broken into another rich vein
Of drybone and lead ore. Some of the
masses of bone are enormous and
must be broken in order to be raised
to the surface. The lead is pitching
south and will probably result in
another big deposit of blackjack on
going deeper.
The big concentrating mill owned
and operated by VIM. Raisbcck on his
mines near Benton is to a great extent
a failure, the machinery being sup
posed to reduce the ores leaving but
three per cent. of sulphur with the jack,
but in fact not being able to reduce it
to a less Fer cent. than 10.

CITY LEASES,
FOR PROPERTY on THE HILL SIDE, IN THE
SECOND WARD.
Soma Evidences of LoOssnsss in the Collection o
Rents, and Steps Taken TO Secure
Changs-Ihe Matter Up Last
Night

The Council Committee on Real rs
tate spent a considerable amount oil
time, last evening, in discussing the
general subject Of leases for city real
estate, located on the hillside common
in the Second ward, along the line OIL
alley c, and the extensian OF Chapllne
street. Some OF the members seemed
to have a well-eefined idea that this
part of the city's income had not been
looked after In a buslness-like manner,
and the matter will Az brought to the
attention of Counci!E probably at the
next session.
The matter came up through the ap-
plication Of James McCord to have MS
lease, at ten dollars year, transferred
to w. S. Kraft. Mr.. HuDp enqulred II
Mr.. McCord was square with his rent,
and it was developed he was about a
year behind. Then Mr.. Hupp wanted
10 know whose business it was TO collect
the rents, and was told it fell to the Re-
ceiver. He enquired If the Receiver
went out collecting, and was told no.
that he receipted for the money when
the parties came into the ONCE. Mr.
Hupp then enqpired If there was Sc
curity given for the payment OF city
rents, and was again answered in
the negative. The leases require
payment quarterly in advance,
but this clause doesn't go for
what it says. Mr.. Hupp then offered
resolution asking Council to require Sc
curity In all cases in the future, aud
this will likely stir the matter up more
thoroughly. The city only receives
about $500 per year from city leases,
which are all at very low figures, rang
ing from IS TO SIS year, and there
have been a good many delinquencies
in the past, according TO allegations.
In most of these cases, however, the
parties leasing are widows. and very
moor, and no effort has ever been made
to push matters In such cases, and IL Is
likely there will not be now.
New leases were granted to Clark
Craft and Robert Clark, for thirty-foot
lots on the extension of Chapline street,
but the price was put up to SIS. 1t Is
understood both these parties will build.
Catharine S,hoff was allowed TO trans
fer her lease at $40 per year to Emma
Wooster.
Application was made to lease a piece
of ground on the edge OF the cliff OF
Twentieth street, near Eoff, by a man
who said he wanted to build little
house there for himself and wife. II
was referred to the Chair and the mem
Der from the Fifth ward for report next
Tuesday.
Bills amounting to STA. 81 we're ordered
paid, a flag, I2x1S feet, was ordered fol
the City Hall, and two filters for the
Council chambers and oil cloth for the
Clerks Office.
