Hermann Sigel, editor of the Abend
Post, OF Milwaukee, died at his home
in that on Sunday evening. The
Journal says:
" With his demise the German press
loses one of its stoutest members. He
not only was fluent writer, but
strong and original, holding in view
the common welfare above all things.
He preached and spread the doctrines
OF free government among bis country
men with great ability and persistency.
He preserved sufficient independence
to cut loose at times from the Repub-
lican party, as during the candidacy of
Mr.. Blaine for the presidency, when
ne thought it proper to support Mr..
Cleveland"

Binding Irvine Industry Secure.

The Cordage Trade Journal of Dec.,1
says: If the new tariffbill becomes a law,
and binder Irvine is placed upon the
free list, manufacturers in this country
need not fear that the binder Irvine
makers of Great Britain will be able to
do much business here next season.
The fact is that the British manufac-
turers are not in a position to contract
to make any considerable quantity of
binder Irvine for this market, as they
have not sufficient machinery to care
for very much more than their ordinary,
trade. The Cordage Trade Journals
Great Britain correspondent estimated,
in an article published in The Journal
IN January, 1892, that 2, 900 tons would
be tho limit that the machinery then
devoted to binder twine in the United
Kingdom was capable of producing in
year if kept constantly at work.
These figures represent about the ca
paclty of the binder Irvine machinery
IN use at the present time. When it is
considered that the annual require
ments of the United States amount to
90, 600 or co. tons, it will be seen
that apprehensions of any serious loss
to manufacturers next year through the
proposed abolition of the duty on bind
er twlne are groundless.

Peter McGill is the Wisconsin men,
Der of the national committee of the
league. He recognizes the fact that
the Wilson bill contemplates the grad
ual elimination of the protective prin-
ciple from our system of tariff tax
alton. He says:
:" / think it will be conceded by the
great majority of Democrats from
ocean to ocean that the principle of
protection must be eliminated from
the economic policy of this country.
No matter what happens, in my
opinion, tariffs for protective purposes
are doomed. Notwithstanding the
stupid claims of republicans that the
def eat of their party and the accession
of the Democrats to power with the
consequent certainty of a reduction of
tariff duties is the cause of the pres
eat hard times the more intelligent

vestige of truth in the charge. They
know very well that for years we have
been living in a fools paradise, that
the unnatural stimulus given to
special industries by reason of the
monstrous brides offered to capital by
means Of the tariff to engage in such
industries had reached its highest
point three or four years ago, that it
has been declining ever since, and
that the bubble would have burst,
with even greater disaster, had Mckin-
ley himself been elected president and
both house of congress had been
packed with his supporters. They
know very well that high tariffs have
not warded off financial distress in
continental Europe. that in point of
fact the continental countries that are
the most highly protected are in the
deepest distress, and that these highly
protected countries have scarcely any
recuperative powers whatever.

State superintendent Wells con-
tributes a valuable article to the
January number of The Wisconsin
Journal of Education. He discusses
at length the township system of
school organization, and shows the
advantages which it possesses over
the district system. He believes that
more effective administration of
school affairs would be secured by
reducing the number of officers and
increasing their authority and respon-
sibility. He says:
The average number of districts
to the town throughout the state is
about six, although in certain cases
the number in single town exceeds
twelve. 1t is useless to expect eighteen
men in each town to give careful
attention to district affairs. There is
not enough in it. Divided among SO
many it is petty business. But if
all the business of all the districts in
the town were placed in the hands of
a single board consisting of five or
seven members there would be enough
business of Importance to command
their time and consideration. With
school houses TO be built or repaired
supplies to be furnished, six or more
teachers to be engaged for the year,
the need of provision for advanced
instruction in the town to be consid-
ered-these and other questions would
interest the most capable men in the
town.
Mr.. Wells does not contend that the
adoption of the township system
would secure good schools, but claims
that there are many and great evils
inherent in the district system which
are not necessarily part of the town

TRAITORS IN THE CAMP.
Protection Democrats May Attempt to
Block the Wheels of Reform.

Protection Democrats May Attempt to
Block the Wheels of Reform.
Rurnor has it that some Democrats
contemplate forming log rolling COM
bination to prevent tariff reform. Their
scheme is reported to be to prevent any
decrease of the tariff in respect Of in
dustries in which they or their constit-
uents are interested.
Any partial and unequal reform will
be worse than none. 1t will ruin the
Democratic party and ought to. The
Democrats who join any such conspir-
acy to defeat the performance Of the
duty to which the party is pledged arc
traitors.
1t is the misfortune of the Democratic
party that it has SO many men in public
life who are Democrats for revenue
only. They have no principles. They
cannot be depended upon in an ext
gency.
We know there are men in both
branches of congress who were elected
as Democrats, but are at heart Repub-
ncan protectionists. These are men
who can be depended upon in no issue
of principle, but they never surrender
partisan claims on Offices and salaries.
What we desire to say distinctly now,
when the lines are being drawn, is that
the man who is in favor of taxing the
many for the benefit of the few had bet
ter go over openly to the Republican
protectionist party, where he properly
belongs. The Democratic party does
not stand for that idea. The Republican
party does.
If anybody has supposed that tariff
reform can be accomplished without
hurting temporarily some of the pluto
Gratis who have been pampered by tariff
bounties, he has not sense enough to
pose as q statesman.
1t is q time when Democrats must
closely watch their representatives.
Those who are allies of the Republican
protectionists must be marked. We do
not believe that there are enough Of
them to prevent reform, but whoever
they are they must be forced to show
their true colors. New York World.

The Tax on Incomes.

price of the poor mans sugar.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.
An income tax we consider both just
and polite, and we hope to see one en-
acted by congress at its approaching
session.-Atlanta Journal.
There will be no portion of the con-
templated tariff reform that will meet
with the moro hearty approval of the
people than this income tax.-Hickory

The craftsmanship of the country
favors an income tax. The only ques-

concerns the manner of its laying and
Observation-Disclosures Times.
England has an income tax. It ls
levied by the men who pay it, and they
agree that there is no more equitable
mode of raising revenue for the conduct

1t is we'll known fact that the con-
gressmen from the south and west, and
in fact majority of the Democrats in
congress, are strongly in favor of an in
dividual income tax and the repeal Of
the state bank tax.-Atlanta Constitu-
ton.
Is it not moro just that man with

There will be at least $50, 900, 900;

An exchange says that manufac-
ture and use of bicycles are given as
one of the main reasons why horses
are now so cheap, cheaper than they
have been for forty years. The same
cause is assigned for the decrease,
about thirty per cent, in the manufac-
ture of buggies and other vehicles. In
the large cities the number of persons
who have abandoned the use of horses
and buggies, and taken to bicycles is
something surprising, and in the num-
Der, old and young alike are included.
