The Hazeton shooting is bearing fruit
1t Is the best piece of work that could be
done for the Debs' gang. The newly
organized Social Democracy held yar,ons
meetings In Chicago on Sunday NIGHT
Here are some OF the utterances of tina
leaders:
A"The blood of an idle and useless ar,s-
tocracy is the most convenient Medium

every miner killed and wounded a mil

llonaIres today"
II Will not carry a musket. l will carry
tor n and knife and L Will carry both
far as | can"
Il would attack property with the
torch. l would destroy their fine pal
aces"
This Is bringing things pretty close to
the French revolution. Murder and in
cendiarlsm are openly advocated, This
Is the child OF Debs' speech at st. Louie
and the HazeltOn massacre.

THERE need be no fear of any consider
ABLE falling off in the price of wheat for
this year. All Investigations of the con
dtions warrant that belief. The demand
is almost wholly In Europe, and the
vacuum there cannot be filled from any
other place than the United States. The
barvests OF Australia. India and Ar.
genuine occur at different time than
ours and they promise we'll, hut there is
no grain stored IN any of these countries
so that prices promise To be fair for an
other year. Statistics have been gather.
ed by the government with great care,
and may safely be called reliable.

Florence county farmer finds himself
In dilemma. Deer are eating ND his
crops and Gov. Scofeld will not permit
HIM to Kill off the varmInt. He threatens
To sue the state for the damages he has
sustained, which amounts to several hun
dred dollars. liz deer are rs thick as this
farmers plant would indicate, they
would be killed readily, law or no law.
After the news gets out the rush of hun
tiers to that farm will not be much less
than that OF the gold seekers to the Klon
dlke. That farmer will find the hunters
far more annoying than the deer.

IT is extremely difficult to understand
the protectionlst if he be taken Seriously,
His arguments always recall the couplet.
''Oh what a tangled web we wave,

His arguments always recall the CONFLICT
'Oh what tangled web we wave,
When first We practice to deceive
The protectionist is skilled In the prac.
tice of deception and he is by no means
taking his first lesson In that line. And
still he is involved in a labyrinth of in
conslstencles,-a web as badly tangled AS
1t could be after the first few attempts at
deception.
The Sentinel commenting upon the fact
that the Argentine Republic is about to
impose heavy tariff on imports to that
country from the United States AS re-
tallatory measure, says in substance that
the tariff will not prove advantageous tn
Argentine, as the articles imported are
desired because of their superiority. and
that LONE Industry will not be encour-
aged by the tariff
The corner stone of protection is that
nome Industries are encouraged and eS-
panded by che tariff. That IS the chief
cause of It's being. The Mckinley law
went to the extent of being prohibItory.
It's Title was sufficient announcement
OF Its purpose. Why should not the
same principle operate similarly in differ
emit countries, conditions being the san a.
again, The Sentinel soothingly sly,
that no great lnjnTy will result bacanse
our exports to that country are small.
And still the protectionist persIstently
urged reciprocity with these South Amer
lean republics. whose busines We are
now told In effect II not worth looking
after. Trade with Great Britain. which
takes nearly bali our exp nrts, was some
thing 10 be discouraged. We we're to
break down an established trade which
was carried on much to our advantage
ana form new trade relations the benefit
OF which to rs was problematical. And
now the proper line OF procedure is aban
uoned TO Justify an inconsistency in the
Dlngley law. A governmental policy
with reference to matter so impor tapt
In It's bearings on foreign commerce AS is
the tariff, should have some goyerninp
characteristic and not be a mass of linn
Der from which any kind of structure can
be erected.
The sacrifice OF tie domestic market"
is az old bugaboo which has been ms, n
too often In frightening political children.
onGer the Wilson law our expectations

which protection wonld destroy. In
view OF these facts the trite arguments
OF preserving the domestic market are
lacking In force. Agricultural interests
are the malnstay of American prosperity.
The domestic market for them is as mad
equate as is the domestic market for the
product of English manufactures. Eng.
land Is wise in her policy of finding for
eisn market for these things In which
she excels. Our policy is to xii. off our

AMONG FARMERS.

The finest grades of wheat IN the world
are raised In Southeast Russia.
Chambers and hay cholera are having
quite run in Outagamie county.
Fred Shimonek of Gibson threshed
1900 bushels of grain of all varieties. the
produce of 60 acres of land
The European demand for American
horses Is steadily growing and an advance
In the prize of horses is expected.
1t now transplres that the wheat shot,
| tage In France is greater than was at first
reported. 1t is now evident that France
must import large quantities of wheat.
P. j. Murphy of Cato says his pease
have averaged % bushels to the acre this
year. He says that the result of thresh-

tlOns.
The increase In the farm trade of this
CITY nakes necessary an improvement of
the principal streets. The amount of
teamlng cuts up the dirt streets and it is
impossible to Keep them in condition,
Hereafter The Pilot will publish Il @
Green Bay market for farm produce so
That farmers may compare prices there
with those of the local market, The
ManltoWoc market as published in The
Pllot Is corrected every Thursday morn
Ing 10y dealers in farm produce whose
word Is absolutely good and who know
lngly would not misrepresent anything.
notwithstanding the great rush of
gram TO this city the past month, all was
Old grain, with the exception of compare
lively few loads, until this week. This
week about one half the grain received
Is OF this years crop. This gives some
idea OF how grain VAS boarded during
the era OF low prices. With the amount
Of grain stored and the big supply of this
year, wheat would have dropped to %
cents per bushel, if it were not for the
foreign demand.
The price OF potatoes is going up, and
VIII continue to advance. Some sections
OF the United States have bad good crops
of potatoes. One thing more that is
going up is the prce of apples. Mantle
voc county farmers have not given the
attention to their orchards in the past
they should have. 1t won't do to let
windfalls lie on the ground until they
rot or be picked to pieces by chickens.
There Is money In apples and they should
be harvested with care. No chance for
saving little money should be allowed
TO slip.

THE base hall exc,te,nant which ;s now

The base ball excitement which is now
considered necessary feature of every
game, broke out in intensified form at
Marquette on Sunday last. The Hough-
ton captain took his men off the field on
account OF the decision OF the umpire.
Then the crowd set upon the visitors and
a riot ensued. The police were unable
to handle the mob ard many people were
injured, though none seriously. 1t is
strange how the mob spirit will take pos
session OF crowd. That such thing as
Il game OF base ball should breed a riot
is lncomprehensible except on the theory
that at such times there is reversion in
man 70 the saYaQa state.

THE laws of this state now prohibit the

This may seem like move in the di-
rection of municipal ownership of certain
utilities. But it is not; it is nothing
more than asking an equivalent for a

that municipal ownership, of certain
public utilities, If they could be properly
managed, would result in cheaper service
to the people. The profits would De

every line of business the proceeds of

The shooting down of miners at Lati-
mer, Pa, last week by gang of deputies
is an atrocious act. Human life is too
sacred thing to be taken on slight pro g.
| vocation by officials. Trained aud cour-
ageous policeman rarely resort TO ex-
treme measures IN preserving the peace.
The order issued by the sheriff to bis men
to fire was llurderous one. There was
| nothing instifying it, nor was there the
| least probability that anything wonId
arise which would make the taking Of
life necessary. 1t was cowardly as well
as mnrderous and issued in a fit of anger
| while the sheriff was being roughly hand
led by the miners. Ii was to punish the
atfrOnt he received at the hands of the
! strikers and not to enforce an order of
the court that so many defenseless peo-
pie were shot down. He took the law 10
bis own hands and used it for murder.
This high-han led proceeding of an Off
cial should not go unpunished. Human
life should not be sacrificed because the
personal dignity of an official suffers in
suit. His irritation over slight personal
injury is more dangerous than the Wild
est mob. Law is designed for the pro-
lection Of life and property. To take
either is Unsuitable only when a greater
evil is thereby averted And thls greater
evil must be certain and impending.
This lamentable Latimer affair will he

murder in his heart because OF the COW
ardlce in his nature will be p,ade to typify

AFTER prolonged illness Margaret
Taugher died at the home of her par
ents on Tuesday, Sept 7th. Although
the fact of Miss Taugher's failing
health had been evident for some

She was one of Manltowoc county's
most prominent school teachers, and
being endowed with talents of an ex
ceptionally high degree, she would
have accomplished much il her chosen

health. 1t is therefore more sad to
realize that this promisl g young lady
should be called away almost at the
beginning of her career. Being of an
amiable and kind hearted disposition
she enjoyed the love and esteem of all
who knew her. OF her we may trnly
