Tariff Tribute.

In the campaign text book issued by
the Democratic national committee
quotations are made from the price
lists of a large number of American
manufacturers showing the difference
in the prices charged for export and
the prices charged in the home market
1t is shown that the total wholesale
value of manufactured goods sold at
home amounts to $1,000, 100000 and
that the difference between the prices
charged in the home market and those
charged for the same goods when sold
to foreigners amounts to 81 ,2s6, 600, goo.
In other words, the tariff privileges the
American trusts, rs the larger part of
our manufactures has passed under
control of the great industrial corpora
tions. to take out of the pockets of the
American people 81 200 000. 900 a year
in greater profits than the same goods
would be sold for in foreign markets
or that they would be sold In the
American markets were it not for the
elimination of Foreign competition
This enormous sum, which places a
heavier burden upos the American
people than was placed upon them BY
the civil war, is as cluch an extortion
as If congress had privileged the tariff
beneficiaries to erect toll gates upon
the public highways aud exact from
the public 81 200, coo. 600 annually. The
immensely of the tribute may be bet
ter understood when it is realized that

To convince anyone that the republi-
can fight in Wisconsin enters into
national politics, it is only necessary to
publish the comments made by the
Milwaukee Free Press on the coming
of Senator Foraker, of Ohio, who spoke
in Milwaukee on Thursday evening
viz:
1t is a piece of impertinence, who
ever is responsible for it, and it will
not do any good. The state central
committee that was appointed by the
convention that nominated Gov.
LaFollette was not advised with, and
did not know that the Ohio man is
coming. His coming is an affront to
the regular organization, and was of
course intended to be- A national
committee that has no better Judgment
should confine itself to reporting its
final judgments on contested seats in
national conventions. That is just
about coarse enough work for it"

THE Supreme Court of the state of
Wisconsin, adjourned on Friday not to
meet again until the 18th day of October
No decision was reached in the repub-
lican factional case, and as it is, when
the court again meets, there will be
only twenty days before the election
This means that the republican party
in the state is in dilemma from which
it is no easy task to extricate it
self. The secretary of state, to keep
within the bounds of the law, must send
out tickets and information to voters
by the 10Th of October. If a decision
is not reached by that time the half
breeds will occupy the regular column
on the ticket.

AN English wit once told Scotch

Thereupon the Scot, true 10 the logical

Peck Writes Letter to Democrats.

Peck Writes Letter to Democrats.
Prominent democrats are in receipt
of personal letters from George w. Peck,
of Milwaukee, the democratic nominee
for governor, urging them not to cast
their ballots for the republicans, but
stick to the democratic ticket and vote
it straight. The letter reads in part:
Late years many of our democrats
have good naturally helped our politi-
cal enemy to win elections. They are
like the farmers who are short of help
in the busy season changing works
Democrats have helped republican
political farmers to sew and reap, and
now it is no more than right for them
to come back to the democratic farm
and bring with them some of the re-
publicans they have helped and ask
them to help us in our 'huSklng and
our 'threshing.'
"One object of my accepting the nOmi-
nation for governor was to get our par
ty together again, and have all factions
Of it ready to tight shoulder to shoulder.
When co nmanding general is having
the fight of his life, and his enemy seems
almost too strong for him, he calls the
reserves to rally to the colors and every
loyal man should respond. As the tenn
porary commander of the democratic
army / ask you all to re-enlist at once
for the battle that is soon to take place,
and when the battle is over, and the
political enemy is routed on the retreat,
trying to get away from the democratic
bayonets, and we have taken possession
of the capitol now held by virtue of
democratic votes which were borrowed
from us, and the democratic banner is
unfurled over the fortress at Madison,
every democrat who has strayed away
in years past will be proud that he has
got home from his furlough in time to
help win the greatest of all battles"

He seeks to hold the strings of power

senator.
"He is the Caesar of his faction. In
his time and never before has the
shadow of the executive mansion thrown
itself over the legislative halls and
every man who is bold enough to differ
from him is regarded as the enemy of
the people and is held up to the derision
of the public.

from the corruption of other places
with the stencil of corruption in his
