THE absurdity of the manner in
which the assessment laws of Wiscon-
sin are administered, is we'll Illustrated
by comparison of figures from the
annual report of Insurance Commiss-
Toner Fricke and from other depart
ments of the state government. Mr..
Fricke's report shows that in this state
there was last year 1881, 1886, 730 worth
of insurance carried. This is about
$170, 100000 more than the total as
sessed value of all the property in the
state. In other words, the value put
upon property subject to fire loss by the
insurance agents is $l70, 0O0,0 900 more
than all property, real and personal, in
the state, subject to taxation. There
are states where property is assessed
at the full cash value, but in this state
the assessment is from one third to one
half of the real value on the average.

England's Return To Protection.

For five hundred years England had
protective policy. Under that policy
she passed from the most backward
country in Europe to the leading COM
mercial country in the world. Under
that policy she gave mankind the fac
tory system. parliamentary institutions,
religious freedom, abolished slavery
and established the highest wages in
Europe. By the economic advantages
thus acquired, she developed supe-
rior productive capacity which enabled
her tosundersell on even terms all other
manufacturers in the world.
Having securely obtained this adj
vantage she sought to increase the
prosperity Of ner manufacturing classes
by capturing foreign markets. To this
end, having no fear of competition in
manufacturers, and desiring cheap food
in order that her manufacturers might
have lower priced labor, on June q,
1916, she adopted free trade. removing
all import duties upon fbreadstuffs and
raw materials, as we'll as manufac
lures.
This was heralded abroad as the
stroke of economic emancipation, and
has been the basis Of nearly all econ
omic literature ever since. Free trade
has been proclaimed as the true econ
omic policy for all nations. In this
country, the economic doctrinaires have
persistently propagated the notion that
our only hope for permanent prosperity
is in initiating the English and adopt
ing free trade. Thus far we have re-
fused to be converted, but now and
then have wavered to the extent Of
making partial experiment, and pay
ing the penalty in swift disaster.
On the 9th of next June, England
will have had half century's expert
ence under this free trade regime; and
it is significant that at the end of fifty
years experiment, which has not con-
verified single country, she is now
taking steps to return as gracefully,
but as effectively as possible, to pro-
tective policy. This is what intelligent
protectionists have predicted would
necessarily be the final outcome. Eng
lands competitive superiority over con-
tinental producers has all along been
due to the superiority of her machinery,
and her ability to undersell American
producers has been due to her lower
wages. This seems to be an enigma
to free traders. They have never been
able to understand why England's
power to undersell in American mar
kets was the result of an entirely differ
ent cause from her power to undersell
continental producers.

OBSERVERS of tornadoes in this coun-
try agree that peculiar greenish ap-
pearance of portion of the sky invari-
ably precedes the worst of the storm by
fifteen minutes or more. 1t was no.
ticed in st. Louis in the north and
west for more than an hour before the
storm broke. One theory is that the
greenish tint comes from an enormous
mass of water held back from precipi-
tation by confusion of air currents.

The Last Infamy.

The free silver extremist which has
possession of the United States senate,
is making the most of the last oppor
tunity it will ever have to drag that
once honorable and dignifed body
down to the lowest depths of infamy
and degradation. 1t reached that
lowest depth Monday evening in pass
ing, by vote of 80 to % the Butler
bill to prohibit the issue of bonds by
the United States for any purpose
whatever. This bill, of course, is
mere bluff, for it will be buried th0us-
and fathoms deep if it ever reaches
the house: but it reveals the spirit OF
reckless and destructive diabOllsm
which rules the senate in it's free silver
majority. For the whole purpose OF
the bill is to force the United States
government to repudiate it's obllga-
tiOns, or, what is the same thing, to
cripple it of the power to redeem them
in gold, and thus drag it down to the
silver standard. There is where we
would have been today, if, fortunately
for the country, the republican party
when in power many years ago, had
not enacted a law which authorized
the issuance of bonds to procure the
money necessary to maintain the pub
lie credit. That law, providing for the
issue of 4 per cent. bonds, was left in
tact upon the statute books in order to
meet just such emergencies as that for
which it's authority was invoked by
President Cleveland. Congress re-
fused to enact a law more suited to
modern market conditions, authorizing
the issue of gold bonds, by which many
millions of dollars would have been
saved to our treasury. And now the
senate, without any power to put its
Internal spirit into actual legislation,
does what mischief it can in creating
alarm throughout the financial world
by advertising to the civilized nations
that the upper house of the American
parliament has passed bill to repudi-
ate the obligations of the United States
and to degrade its money standard to
81 cents on the dollar. If the country
did not know that the credit of the
government was safely protected by an
OYER helming sound money majority
in the house, the passage of such bill
by the senate would create such pan
ic that half the banks and business
houses in the country would topple
down in the sudden crash of all public
and commercial credit. AS it is, it
is mere empty exhibition of the i'm
potent rascality Of the free silver ma
jOrity Of the senate.

Nor a little sentimental nonsense has
been uttered because two or three
bishops have been retired by the Meth
odist general conference on generous
pensions on account of old age. When
man has passed several years beyond
the customary allotment of three score
years and ten, he ought not be unwill-
ing to retire from regular service and
give younger men a chance. In the
case of one who has been honored by
an episcopal position in the great
Methodist denomination, if he has been
at all worthy incumbent of that Office
he will find no lack of opportunity for
using what powers he may have to the
benefit of mankind and the good of his
church.

IT really is amusing to read the fran
tic efforts of the Democratic press to
make Major Mckinley talk about his
views on different subjects. His record
in the past has been so consistent that
they can't criticise it as they desire, so
they want to get him to talk in advance
of the st. Louis convention, in the hope
that he may " slop over" as Artemus
Ward would say. Mckinley will stand
squarel9 on the plank adopted at st.
Louis and is not conceited enough to
think that he is bigger than his party
or that it is his province to outline the
platform in advance.
