A PaIpabIe Hit.

The Louisville Courier. Journal makes
an interesting answer to Republican
newspaper that claimed that the cotton
mill operators in North Germany get
only Sl9104 a year, while in America
they get $304.57.
The Courier Journal says: 1T looks
a little queer to see arguments for pro-
lection made on the ground that it gives
our laborers 1904. 81 year. There are
313 working days in a year barring holi.
days with pay, 30 that the wage is less
than dollar day. Now farm labor
er at $50 a month and board gets $40 in
money, and the board would even at a
low rate, bring the total up as high rs
that of the cotton, mill operator. 1t is
we'll known that the farm laborer has
no protection, and it is hard to see how
the cotton mill operator gets any benefit
from it. Laborers in many unprotected
employments get more than a dollar a
day. Moreover, the owners of cotton
mills import laborers free from foreign
countries. If the protective tariff makes
prices of commodities Highland we
know it does-why is there not tariff
on imported labor? That is the logic Of
protection to labor by tariff, if it is to
be done at ALL but the fact of it is that
it is not intended to make labor high.
The men who make this argument in
order to get labor support are the same
men who import foreign labor to keep
down the prices they must pay to labor
ers at home. They are the men who
sell to customers in America steel rails
for S2S ton, and sell them abroad at
$2O or S22, making big profit on an
article which confessedly costs about
Sl6. The argument that protection
makes high wages is ridiculous fallacy.
They have always been higher in Ameri
ca than in Europe. But in Europe the
highest wages are paid in free-trade
England, and the countries where they
are lowest have the most rigid systems
of protection.

An exchange prints a fishy story
about father sneaking off to work
without waking his son and the boy
demonstrating because his father had
tip.toed about so cautiously lest he dis
turb his slumber. Now, every sane per
son knows that father does exactly the
opposite in the morning. He calls Willie
seven times in an affectionate tone of
voice Then he raises the pitch and,
later on, the covers, and gives Willie
what Paddy gave the drum. A good

THE MAI. ORDER HOUSE.

Why should we trade at homer Be
cause it is our home and we should take
an interest in the progress and advance
ment of our home town. 1t is the spirit
of cooperation and mutual help that
does things. The strength of the people,
the strength of community, depend
upon mutual help and sympathy. Even
if the buyer could save few dollars in
a year by purchasing from the mail
order house, the loss to the community
would offset the gain for himself and 1t
would only be question of time until
his individual loss from the general
shrinkage in trade would be greater than
his gain The farmers of Manltowoc
county have it in their power to bring
prosperity or adversely to the hone
merchant. But the farmer cannot sell
his products in Manitowoc and buy his
supplies from catalogue house with
immunity. In the course of time the
home merchant would be forced to the
wall and the farmer would have no local
market for his products and he would
be compelled to sell to as well as buy
from the mail order man In Chicago.
Then Mr. Farmer, if crops should fail
or misfortune come to you and you We're
short of money, would the mail order
house trust you for dollar 1t is then,
Mr. Farmer, you would miss the home
merchant. 1t is then you would awaken
to a realization of the fact that you were
cutting your own throat when you
patronixed the mail order house. 1t Is
then You would realize that the wei
fare of the community is the concern of
each individual, 1t is then you would
see that you were blind TO your own in.
terests when you boycotted your retail
dealer. 1t is then you would find out
that you cannot break up the natural
way of carrying on trade without calami-
tious results to yourself. 1t is then you
would understand that the mail order
business Of today is sapping the life
blood of your home cities and towns.
Farmers, if You should keep on buy.
ing from the mail order house and
eventually freeze out your home mer-
chant and leave yourself at the mercy
Of the mail order man You would find
out more fully than words or arguments
could explain why the home merchant
should be patronized and the mail order
business cut out.
The PILOT has no selfish motive in
preaching bone trade. To advance thu
interests of Manitowoc and to show that
the welfare Of the whole county il the
concern Of each individual are the only
objects in view. The mail order bus
mess is wrong in principle and should
be stopped, and the big catalogues
should be burned.

youth. The fallacy Of the search has
long since eradicated the pilgrimage.
The disease of old age cannot be cured.
The best we can do is to keep our long
white whiskers carefully groomed, our
faces wreathed in smiles and our hearts
reconciled to Death. Did you ever think
of the other side" of this vital question?
1t has its flashes Of qualification. SO far
~ we know, there will be no time
clocks, no millinery bills, no misunder-
standings, no malignings, no back, bit
ing, no narrowing fears, no rheumatism,
no dyspepsia, no big fish that get away,
no mosquitoes no returned manuscripts,
no unrequted loves, no corns, bunions
or backache in the life beyond the grave
Sometimes it seems as if there would be
more JOY in being free from the things we
have and don't want, than pleasuer in
enjoying the things we have and do
want The long sleep of death closes

has disclosed unlocked for and Omnous
conditions conditions which no philan-

farmers appear TO be displacing land
owning farmers is startling. Prof Taylor
discovers that of total of more than
A, 900 persons in Wisconsin who are
directly concerned in the leasing Of farm
land, 20, 096 or 80 per cent are tenants
The increase WAS from l2,l59 during
the decade-almost 100 per cent. OF
course explanations are made and it is
concluded that this tendency is step
