MINERAL POINT FREIGHT
RATES.

Mr.. N. II. Snow called at the Dem
ocrat Office on Wednesday afternoon
and showed us the official freight tar
IFS now In use by the G. M. IL st. r.,
the c., i. 81 O. and the Chicago
and Alton railways BY these
tariffs we verified the compare
tive statement of freight rates pub
llshed over Mr.. Shows signature, in
the Democrat OF April Ia, and found
said statement absolutely correct.
The statement referred to was com
parison of rates for Mineral Point
with those for Galesburg, H., and
Springfield, H., both situated about
the same distance from Chicago. BY
this statement and by the official
tariffs it plainly appears that Mineral
Point Is very fairly treated in the
matter OF general traffic rates, being
about the same rs for the two Illinois
points named; while on account OF
advanced cost OF fuel on this end Of
the line, and for other causes, they
might naturally be somewhat higher.
The Democrat had no doubt whatever
Of the truthfulness of Mr.. Snow q
statement; but the comparison of 1t
with the official tariffs establishes
beyond peradventure his contention
that the people OF Mineral Point and
vicinity pay rs low II not lower rates
of freight ON general traffic, for the
Same distance, thMn peoplo In Illinois.

great power in opposition to the ship
subsidy scheme and in denunciation
OF protection. or this speech Walter
Wellman says In his report to the
Chicago Record-Herald:
"Mr. Cochran certainly had the
Republicans OF the house going to-
day. They tried to interrupt him.
They sought to bother him with per-
tinent and impertinent questions. But
they met with poor success. Not for
many years has there been anything
finer In either branch Of congress
than the ease and effectiveness with
which Mr.. Cochran threw of his
assailants. One after another bit the
dust. Hepburn of Iowa, Dalzell of
Pennsylvania, Payne OF New York,
even Grosvenor OF Ohio, were run
over as II they were small boys trying
to stop big political horse power
automobile with the evil one himself
acting rs chauffeur.
One Of the good and forcible things
which Mr.. Cochran said was at the
close OF his speech.
"You," he shouted, addressing the
republican majority, "believe in max
ing prosperity by legislation. We
believe in making it by labor. APP
plause, Here is the great underly-
ing moral law Of government. 1t is
the creed OF my party-the only plat
form the Democracy needs: A good
government, government that de-
serves to live will not do anything for
one man that it refuses to do for all
men!"

DEMOCRATIC DUTY.

The Democratic county convention
TO send delegates to the state conven-
ton will be held In Dodgevillo on
May IL. Good, representative Dem
ocrats should be selected as delegates.
The Democrat has all along hoped
that an uninstructed delegation would
be sent from Wisconsin to tho ma
tional convention, but II now seems
likely that the state convention will
instruct either for Hearst or for
Wall, The Democrat thousand
times prefers the latter To the former,
Hearst has done nothing to eutitle
him to tho support OF Wisconsin
Democrats. Neither does he represent
sound, conservative Democracy; aud
his candidacy for the nomination is
unfortunate and hurtful to the party.
Mr.. Wall Is not only u Democrat, but
n sound and good ono, who has
devoted his timo, talents and money
TO efforts for tho triumph of true
democracy. Wisconsin Democrats
owe nothing to MIR. Hearst, but much
to Mr.. Wall, AS chairman Of the state
central committee, Mr., Wall conducted
honorable campaigns; and with others
of like mind and methods brought
victory and honor to the party which
he represented. While we still hold
TO the opinion that it would bo the
part of wisdom for Wisconsin 10 send
an untnstruoted delegation TO St
Louis, we hope that Iowa county viii
see TO IL that men are sent to the stat,
convention who, should the contest Ii,
between Hearst aud Wall, will Is,
cmphatically for Wall.

The Coal EXtortion,
Mineral Point.

Evening Wisconsin,: AS six million
more tons of anthracite were mined
during 1908 than in any previous year
in the history of coal operations, and
as more money was received for coal
last winter than during any normal
season of consumption, it is evident
that somebody has been coming
money. But this has been apparent
for so many years that people are in
terested only in speculation as to
when if ever the coal extortion is to
be stopped.

Judge parker's Silence.

Madison Democrat: The New York
World has analysed number of
Judge Parker's opinions and reprint
ed extracts from his writings so as TO
give u better idea of tbs mental cali
bre of the man being discussed by the
democratic party for president and
his views. The more the country
knows of Judge Parker, the more it
will like him. He has not expressed
his views on political issues. 1t was
not proper for him to do so while he
he held his place on the bench, His
silence is one of the greatest things to
his credit.

FREEDOM BETTER THAN
RESTRICTION.


The new corn law scheme of the
high tariff takers OF Great Britain
but serves to make the folly of the so
called protective policy apparent.
Commercial freedom Is better than
commercial restriction not only for
all the nations together, but for each
individual nation as we'll. In the fol-
lowing article the Milwaukee Journal
shows why the Chamberlain idea is n
scheme that viii not work out:
"The plan Put u heavy duty on
all foreign wheat imported by Eng
land.
"Tho idea: To force English pros
perity by the development of Canada
ut the expense of America.
"With tho market for American
grown wheat destroyed, the American
farmer would sell out and move
across the boundary line into Canada.
This scheme, says the London
Post, would give England cheaper
and better wheat than Is now supplied
by tho half exhausted acres of the
south.
cit will not work out. If it did, by
any possibility, it would mean the
starvation OF the poor of II great ma
tion. 1t Is not question of Europo's
wanting American grain, There is
no sentiment in the matter. Europe
must have 1t. The first effect OF such
duty would be an enormous increase
in the price of bread which English
labor would have to pay. Canada
cannot supply tho demand 1t is very
doubtful, with such " duty In force
for many years, If she could supply
1t, and in the meantime the people
must eat and pay the tax.
As for the exhausted acres, he 1t
known that the possibilities OF the
wheat growing states OF this country
are practically unlimited.
1--WE are raising 700 ,0O0, 900 bushels
u year. Tho American farmers will
send thousand million bushels to
market IL the price ever warrants Il
crop of that size.
And scientific farming, still in its
Infancy, has reached II stage where
there is no danger Of eXhausting the
fertility of tho soil
AS to better wheat, there eau be no
better wheat than that produced In
America. Tho London Post may not
know this, but the grain buyers OF
, Europe know 1t.
England imports loo, 600, 900 bush.
els OF wheat year, Canada's yearly
surplus Is less than 30 900 900 bushels.
II would that even under thd'mos fav-
orahle circumstances before she can
snatch prosperity from the hands 81

They did not get the raise, but
instead on Tuesday special train
