States, by the offer of tempting wages;
| and this makes the cost of mining
greater in Mexico than in Missouri or
Wisconsin.
Perhaps the men who are advocating
a protective tariff on zinc ores are in
spired somewhat by the reasonable
profit" plank of the republican plat
form of this year, which SO greatly
shocked that stout Republican-Jo our
nal, The New York Sun. Herein
might be exemplified that grand old
fraud, the restrictive policy in all OF
It's fulness. Why not carry this plank
to it's logical conclusion and make not
only the "Earl," the "Windy Six, "
and innumerable other mines of the
boom period, but all the drill holes in
southwestern Wisconsin, as well,
paying propositions.
But seriously, there is one thought
that ought to make the miner of Mis-
souri, and Wisconsin hesitate before
joining in a demand for protective
tariff on zinc ore. It is we'll known
that tariff taxation is the fruitful
mother of trusts. There is now no
zinc duty, nor is there any zinc trust.
But there is a lead duty, and the lead
trust is one of the most powerful of
all monopoly combinations. The pro-
liability is that the placing of tariff
tax on zinc ores would be followed by
the formation of zinc trust; and per-
haps then the individual mine owner
or mine worker would be worse off
than before.
However, there is one great consola-
ton: the prophesies of the high takers
in regard to ore prices nearly always
turn out contrariwise.
Away back in 1876, when lead was
was selling at $50 per ton, they told
the miners that Tilden's election
meant lower prices; but during the
Hayes administration which followed
the price dropped to SO per ton.
The prosperity of the miners of
southwestern Wisconsin does not de-
depend on a tariff tax; and he can be
engaged in good deal better business
than supplicating therefor. President
Roosevelt has said that every man
ought to lift his own weight. The
zinc miner has always lifted his own
weight, and more. 1t would be better
to relieve him of the burdens imposed
upon by exorbatant trust prices, that
to hold out to him any false hope of
becoming q beneficiary of tariff taxa

Good Politics For Good People


The people are in earnest in this
presidential campaign, and there is
nothing in politics that is too good
for them.
Machines politics are getting very
old and worn, and this year the
people have determined to go back TO
the old handmade variety; such as
reducing the number of government
office holders from $4,000 under
Roosevelt's machine force, to $1,000,
the number employed when he came
into power; and as soon as the people
can get the Roosevelt machine slowed
away in the junk pile, they are going
to elect their U. S. Senators them
selves; and they are going to compel
the banks to give them security for
the money they intrust them with: they
are going to make the government
than receipts, and avoid any further
$50 200, 900 deficits, as the books show
for the past year; they are going to
shoot Joe Cannon out of the Speak
er's chair in congress: they are going
to put curb bit in the mouth of the
President to prevent him from run
ming away with the government by
Harvesting up one of his cabinet
| officers to an equalizing double tree
to help him pull the load; they are
going to dissolve the partnership
existing between the republican party
and Wall street, and every other
street, and alley occupied by money
trusts and corporations: they are
going to make the republican party
own up and tell the people where the
candidate for president got $500, 00C
from one corporation for campaign
purposes in one state alone, and this
| information must be given before
election, and not after election; they
are going to put sudden and very
abrupt stop to the extension of the

Agricultural Education in Wis
cnnSin

SIN no state in the union is agri-
cultural education further advanced
than in Wisconsin. The excellence OF
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture,
The high character of the agricultural
instruction in the common schools,
and the specialization of the Wiscon-
sin Agricultural Experiment Associa-
ton along the sensible and practical
line of breeding reliable seeds, all
mark the evolution of state that, in
the best sense of the word, is truly
MODERN" says John j. Hamilton
writing in recent issue of the Wis
consin Farmer.
1.-THE question is, do colleges tend to
pull boys away from the farm or do
they send their graduates back to till
the soil better fitted to grapple with
the many problems and complexities
which are bound to arise" continued
Mr.. Hamilton, "Concerning the splen-
did institution at Madison, the farm
ers OF Wisconsin have every reason
to be gratiied with the results at
tanned: for it is very rarely the case
that a graduate of the Wisconsin
College of Agriculture can be induced
to enter upon any other work than
that of farming, in some one of its
numerous branches.
Taking the short course as typical
of the work done there, we find that,
out of the total of some 500 gradu-
ates, 1,420 are actually located on
farms and engaged in farming. All
but ninety-fve are directly or indirect
ly interested in some phase of farming.
This is a magnificent showing. No
other class of students make better
record. Nearly "a per cent hold their
interest in the work for which their
parents trained them.
Work that once was drudgery then
becomes interesting and so much

Contributions to the National Dem.
ocratic Campaign Fund.

The publishers of the Iowa County
Democrat are authorized to receive
contributions to the National DEM
Ocratic campaign fund. The letter re-
questing us to receive such contribu-
tions is signed by Noman E. Mack {,
chairman national Democratic COM
mittee; M. G. Wetmore, chairman of
the finance committee, and G. n.
Haskell, treasurer. Among other
things the letter says:
"There are no secrets in this cam
paign. Strictly practicing what he
breaches, Mr.. Bryan would not win
victory with tainted money paying the
election expenses.
mot a dollar is to be accepted
which requires any promise, either ex-
press or implied, other than for hon
est, impartial government.
"Mr. Bryan will enter the White
House absolutely free from entangling
| alliances, free to serve all classes of
honest citizens alike, or he will not
enter at all.
Hence the course is plain. The
campaign of Bryan and Kern must be
conducted by the people.
1.-The people must pay the necessary
campaign expenses if they want public
servants who will serve their interests.
Especial interests and favored class
es, having secured swollen fortunes"
by purchasing favors in the past with
millions contributed to control cleo
tions, stand ready to give millions
more for continued favors. But that
class never gives a dollar unless it
buys pledge.
"You can serve the grand cause of
popular government.
"Your paper reaches the freside of
the patriot who loves his country for
his country's good; as distinguished
from the greedy possessor of swollen
fortunes who loves his country only
for his country's goods.
flease carry THIS letter IN bold
type at the mast head of your paper.
"Asking every one who favors gov
eminent by the people to pay you at
once, as many dollars as he can spare
to aid the campaign for Bryan, Kern
and peoples rule. You forward
these gifts of honest hearts and homes
every two weeks to the treasurer of
the democratic national committee,
with the name of each contributor and
amounts given. The treasurer will
forward you a certificate like the copy
enclosed for each one, asking you to
deliver these certificates"
Parties who wish to contribute to
this fund can send or bring the money
to the Democrat Office.

per pound; IL he knew that his rich
friends pay for their knit fabrics
worth SLOT per pound a tax Of only
1857 per cent, while he pays III per
cent on knit fabrics worth 1854 cents
per pound; II he knew that they pay on
their winter flannel underwear worth
more than 10 cents per pound a tax of
only $3.50 per cent, while he pays
1887 per cent on the fiannels which
he buys worth 1914 cents per pound.
If the objection is made that not
every man buys these imported ar
ticles, the reply is not difficult. These
articles of widely different qualities
were actually imported and sold, some
Of them In very large quantities.
They bore these highly discriminating
duties, and their respective American
purchasers were treated most I'M
equally and partially, the consumer of
the cheaper articles paying at enor-
mously greater rates than the consum-
ers Of the finer qualities. In an open
market is it conceivable that there was
not something like the same dis
elimination in prices between the con-
sumers Of cheap and the consumers of
costly domestic products? In these
days much the smaller share of our
tariff taxes goes to the government.
The bulk of them goes to the trusts,
which sell at prices they are enabled
to maintain because Of the exclusion
of foreign competition. Men of mod
crate means, workingmen, poor men of
all classes, have been told that the
tariff exists for their special benefit
and protection. If this claim were
true, would the makers Of the tariff
have so arranged the rates of duty
that articles used by the wealthy bear
by far the lightest burden of taxation7

Republicans are greatly dissatisfied
with the primary election law as ex-

The Roosevelt Administration

The New York World thunders
against the Roosevelt administration

81. 1t has been extravaganza and
wasteful.
SO. 1t has attempted to popularize
war.
90. 1t has gloried in Philippine i'm
perialism.
IL. It has menaced the States with
Federal usurpation by means of con-
structive Jurisprudence.
IS. 1t has recklessly undermined
confidence in our business methods,
causing panic, depression and suffer-
ing.
sc. 1t has profted by the political
contributions of corporations seeking
Legislative favors.
81. 1t has spoken voeiferously
against the malefactors of great
wealth, but it has not brought one of
them to justice.
''S. 1t has bullied Congress, threat
ening to do as it pleased, law or no
law.
SO. 1t has assaulted the courts when
their judgments were contrary to its
wishes.
$40. It has maintained the highest
tariff ever known in free country
and has made no move in favor of in
come and inheritance taxes.
I'll. 1t has constantly demanded law
and more law for the protection of
trusts, although existing laws are held
by it to be too drastic for enforcement.

out a career of wilfuIness, greed, am
bition and tyranny by forcing the
election of a personally excellent and
amiable Proxy"

NOT BY TAXATION .

James S. Sherman, Republican can
didate for Vice President, is declaring
that protection helps the farmers.
Mr.. Sherman's nomination was ad-
mittedly bad; but it seems to be worse
than expected. The farmers of the
United States bear the chief burden OF
unnecessary high tariff taxes which
enrich the trust combinations and re-
tard the general prosperity of the
country. Especially do federal taxes
levied in the name of protection pre-
vent the farmers from enjoying the
full measure of their great heritage.
Mr.. Sherman surely ought not to add
insult to injury. 1t is not creditable
to the Intelligence of the twentieth CEN
tury to bark back to English corn law
days, as Mr.. Sherman does, for q
model revenue policy. 1t is only as
hold up men help their victims that
the stand patters help the farmers.
