Editor Pilot.

Editor Pilot:
1t has been said repeatedly during the
campaign that it would be nothing less
than criminal folly on the part of the
people to overthrow the present state
administration for the reason that it had
conducted the affairs of the state econ
omically and satisfactorily, and stands
confessedly above and beyond reproach
or criticism. 1t would be doubly crimln-
al and foolish on the part of the people
to substitute for the personnel of this ad
minlstration the nominees of conven-
ton dominated by man whose venallty
zens Of this state. The policy of con-
vention dictated by such a person could
not well be otherwise than vicious and is
certainly not to be trusted. The conclu-
sion is inevitable that no patriotic citizen,
no Intelligent man, no person who loves
and values his state more than party can
or will contribute to the contamination
of such an act of Ubiquitous folly. 1t is
only upon the ignorant man, the blinded
partisan and the shameless scheming
self seekers that its opponents rely to
commit such Il grave outrage against
common sense, common honesty and
common decency. 1t is impossible to be-
| lIeve that they are IN the majority, or
that the mass of the people of this state
living under the shadow of schools, col
| leges and universities can be led by any
| false cry to perpetrate such a crime
against the state and against their own
interests. Every sentiment of patriotism,
morality, the well being of the state
and memorable logic demand that the
administration be upheld, sustained and
continued. There is no choice and there
can be no conflict of opinion as to the
duty of the citizens in this matter.
AS regards the national administration
1t should also be sustained. The people
should understand clearly that for that
mal-administrat1on of which they with
good reason complained the Cleveland
|
That the responsibility must be ascribed
to the m1srule of the republican party.
And from that mis-rule there has arisen
many problems which that party is utter
ly incapable of solving because it either
ignores or is unable to understand their
origin. But they ought to know that fin
aDcial panics or commercial revulslons
are the concommitants of high protec.
tive tariff, and that the panic of 1893
was nothing but the recoil of their mis-
rule. Those who ascribe it to the democ-
racy are manifestly grossly dishonest or
ineXcuably ignorant. The republican par
ty is to-day party of scheming dema-
gogues.

NOTES FROM NIISHICOTT.

We're right lin it" this fall. More po-
lltical speeches than we can take time to
think about.
Henry Kiel lost four of his fingers IN
feed cutter last week.
The barn of Rudolph Washer, together
with all his farm machinery was burned
several days ago.
The Scheuer Brewing Co. are making
extensive improvements on their brewery.
1t is rumored that the grist and saw
mills known as the Soeuksen Mills have
been sold and will be rebuilt and run on
larger scale than heretofore.
Mrs. Thompson's new dwelling house
is now almost completed. 1t was built
by Ira Levenhagen.
The Manitowoc Turner's will give an
exhibition turning and a dance at the
Opera Hall. Sunday. Nov. 4 A good
time Is anticipated and everybody is IN
vited.
Why is 1t that nearly every republican
or populist orator who speaks at Mlshi-
colt first tells his audience what "My
friend A. j. Schmitz," or my friend John
Maggie" or my friend Klrwan" or my
democratic friends of Manitowoc" had to
say about what the democrats here would
do with HIM? Probably they feel a little
guilty and their conscience troubles
them for preaching lot of nonsense to
an intelligent audience.
We believe some of our populists feel
little sore about their last speaker here
a Mr.. Berger from Milwaukee. When
the said Mr.. Berger delivered this pom
derous bit of oratory If ace cannot 1cin
bg the ballot, 6y God zee ciU do 1t by
force" there was sort of stampede among
The audience to see who could get out
first. The cause was, as one of the STAN.
peders put it "Golly! [ thought it was
going to explode"
Mr.. John Schuetie of Manitowoc en-
tertaIned quite few of his German Demo-
cratic friends here at the Opera Hall last
Saturday evening with stories told III Mr..
Schuette's entertaining way, of the Ger
man revolution of 1913, Blsmarck's state
manshlp, etc. We just learned that Mr..
Schuette was here in the interests of the
republican party. We're much obliged
Just the same. Thanks! Come to think
about it we believe he did say something
about whiskey being 10c. gallon in 1850
or '53. JOE"

JULIE PETERSON of this city, travelling
salesman for Milwaukee house, tells a
good story on the tBrlff on potatoes. He
was In Kewauuee last week and while
doing business with the Mashek Co. heard
number of protectionists talk of pota-
toes from Canada being sold in Escanaba
at 40 cents per bushel. 1t CHANGED that
just about that time a member of the
Mashek company received letter from
firm 10 Escanaba to whom potatoes had
been shipped, stating that they could not
pay 90 cents per bushel for the potatoes,
put would pay 60 ceuts. The fact that a
reputable firm was paying 63 cents, a
wholesale rate, for potatoes effectually
silenced the argument that Canadian po-
tatoes were being retailed at 40 cents.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1894-11-01

40 appeal is N ade to farmers this fall
a reduction Of the tariff on agricultural
products lessen prices. The tax on wool
did not keep the price Of that commodity
up and it sold here for just about what
the tax on the article was. The fact Is
that Australian or other foreign wool
hardly ever came into competition with
our native product. The fner qualities
Of wool W hich cannot be raised in this
country are needed here to mix with our
coarser wool. But manufactures could
not afford to pay the tax and compete
with the foreign manufacturer who was
relieved of this burden, and In conse-
quence there was no demand for our wool
at home. The tax on foreign wool para
lyzed our domestic manufactures and the
price of wool went down. The tendency
is otherwise now, and with free wool,
factories viii start up and demand will
be created sure to result 10 an advance
in the price.
The tax on pease has not been disturb
| ed, but the price of pease averages about
| ID cents per bushel less now than for the
| corresponding period of last year. Per
CONTRA the tax on barley has been re-
| duced about one-half but the price IS
| just about the same. The tax on hay has
| b5en reduced one-half and the price is
from SOC to 75c per ton higher than it
was last year. The tax on potatoes has
| been reduced one-third and the price is
about 10 cents per bushel higher. Judg-
ing from the ruling prices the reduction
of the tax on agricultural products ad-
vances the price, and thus Is destroyed
the force of the arguments what protec-
tionists are using to deceive the farmer.
A great deal has been said about the
reduction in the importatIons of barley
under the operation of the Mckinley
law. The decrease was IN no sense due
to the tariff. Farmers found it necessary
throughout the Mississippi valley to dis
continue raising wheat and to diversity
their industries. Barley gave a much
larger yield per acre and was not subject
to such frequent failures, There was an
increased amount raised in consequence.

of course is too much work. So they
don't 60 into it so extensively. Now if
this will prove to be an infringement we
can very easily get some one from here

NOTES FROM CENTERyILLE.

MARRIKD:-TuesdayO Oct. 30, Mr.. Fl. A.
Hoops of Detroit, Mich. and Miss Ida
Keuene, of this place. The young couple
are well and favorably known hereabouts,
and we extend our heartiest congratula-
tons.
If anybody is serving his party well,
that person is W. G.. Wehrwe;n of this
village. We are informed that he will
close school for the week just preceding
election. IL this is true that week will
probably be dedicated to the interests of
the republican party. One might al
most be induced to believe from this that
the G. 0. p. is in greater need of Mr..
Wehrwein's services than the little ones
who ought to be going to school that
week. We are still inclined to doubt the
correctness of the report. We consider
MIR. Wehrwein too enthusiastic teacher
to permit himself TO be dragged into such
a neglect of his duties. Regard for the
feelings OF his democratic patrons alone
would prevent him from doing this.
MIR. Leo Klessig is making a short visit
with friends IN Fedonia, Wis. this week.
Two democratic rallies took place here
in the last two weeks. The first was held
in Cleveland, l.. ]. Nash spoke in English
and it is unnecessary to say held bis
audience attentive Iistners to the END.
Mr.. Paulus also spoke, is forcible
speaker in German, He is both fluent
and loud of tone. The gathering could
not he said to have been a very demon
stratlve one, though paying close aiten-
ton to the speakers words. The present
political situation is one to invite thought
rather than enthusiasm, except perhaps
that enthusiasm born of conviction
which indeed can only result from earn
est thought. Tuesday this week Mr..
McMullen addressed a gathering at Mem
nlg's. His talk was both entertaing and
instructive.
The dance at Liberty Hall, Cleveland,
last Sunday evening was a success S. The
Centerville German Band furnished the
music.
A Family Dance" will take place at
Nennings' Hall, Sunday Eve, Nov. Ash,
Reick's Orchestra Will furnish the music
for the occasion. A good time my be
| anticipated.
A populist mass meeting was held in

well attended.

gogues, Mr.. Bauman has organized a

THERE is no good reason why any
democrat should refuse to vote the
straight democratic ticket this fall. The
several candidates were nominated fairly
and squarely and all are, thoroughly quail
flied for the positions to which they as
pire. They are all men Of excellent char
acteI, thoroughly honest and competent.
Such nominations deserve approval and
should receive 1t.

The M8nitowoc Press in speaking of
the return of H. l.. Markham from the
north says he had opportunity of Judging
OF the amount of hay, oats and potatoes
shipped into this state from Canada and
that It was alarming to the farmers living
IL that section. Mr. Markham was not
near the 500 Line, aid not see a pound
OF hay, oats or potatoes shipped from
Canada to this state and not a bushel OF
potatoes or oats or ton of hay for mark
ct Is raised in that section. During Mr.
MarkhGm's absence he did not see man
except hunters only while on his way TO
and from the hunting grounds. It Is said
IN the same article that The editor OF The
Pilot saw DIS mucn IF Canadian products
as Mr.. Markham did. He did not see
pound of any Canadian product of apy
kind, nor did he hear reference to Can.
adiah products. There are no farmers in
Intersection and hence there could he No

l.. IL. u.
Now in regard to the
scrip bliss. Well, l am gathering up a
little information day by day. / am now
told that Mr.. Shour sent some of 1t to
some Milwaukee man and Mr.. Upham
heard of it and took the train the next
day and started for Milwaukee and settl-
ed the matter by paying 500 or $500.
Fow the idea is this, all we want is to
know If we stop the scrip bliss. If we can
we shall just go TO work and take all the
scrip we can get in trade and then just
go to Mr.. Upham and tell him we want
it cashed. Ii he refuses to do so, we
could very politely tell Mr. Upham it
may be to his benefit to cash his scrip,
when we come to HIM, if not he might be
more out, and just ask him which be pre-
fers, to cash our scrip or to stop bis scrip
business altogether. No doubt be would
be only too willing to cash all we brought
to him. If we take scrip we could just
about double the amount of business VI e
are doing now. Now as far as Mr.. Up
ham is concerned he could not do us any
more harm than he is doing with his
scrip. l remain,

THE scrip system in use by MAJOR
Upham with It's feature of having its
purchasing power reduced makes him
unfit to be governor of this state Peo-
pie who employ labor are justified in
making the best terms possible, but
wages agreed upon should be paid and
no device should be employed to swindle
the man who tolls. The election OF
Major Upham would be an insult to
labor and an approval of system which
every man of honor should reprobate.
