YANKEE TOURISTS.

This ia the time of the year that
the exodus from this country to
Europe begins and thousands cross the
ocean to spend their money in sight
seeing and usually return without
having learned anything of value.
They just go because it is consld-
cred the proper thing to do and that
somebody else had gone and that they
were just as good as somebody else.
Most of those who 90, know little or
nothing of their own country, the
gra lest in the world with scenery
that cannot be surpassed by any in the
old world, but then, it is not fashion
able to familiarize ourselves with the
land of our birth.
IL is different with those of foreign
birth who return to the land Uf their
birth to visit relatives and the scenes
of their childhood or GO IN quest OF
health, but for the "simple and pure
Yankee to go, it is to spend money
and make spread, and usually make
asses of themselves. 1t is estim ated
that at least $40, 900, 900 are spent an
nually by American tourists IN Europe
just to idle away time and deplete the
volume of the circulating medium OF
this country. The government should
demand at last $500 for every passport
granted. unless it can be shown con
cIusively that the party is returning
to visit relatives, seeking health, on
business or to remain, that there may
be some return to the government fol
the protection expected by the tour
lists, while galavanting in foreign
lands.

PROTECTION NOT ROBBERY.

The writer is firm believer in the
principle of protection, protection
which IS not discriminating to such an
extent as to favor a few at the ex
pense of the many, and believes that
there should be a radical revision of
the tariff that the burden of support
ing the government may be equitably
divided and adjusted in the interest Of
all classes. The present tariff Is
msnifestly unfair, especially its pro-
hibltive features which exclude I'M
portations, thereby making it possible
for the home manufacturers to charge
the home consumer exhorbitant prices
and permit him to ship surplusses
abroad and sell to the foreign trade
at prices from twenty to forty per
cent lower than to the home consumer
and at the same time, deprive the
government Of any import duties. 1t
may be and probably is true, that sumo
of the schedule rates should be raised,
especially on all articles which con-
tribute to the pride and extravaganza
of the rich who will have such articles
even should the tariff be twice as high.
And then, there are many things
which have become absolute necessi-
ties in the homes of the laboring and
producing classes which should be
greatly reduced if not placed on the
free list: but on the whole the revis-
ion should be downward and congress
will make a great mistake if it fails
TO listen to the demands of an over
whelming majority of the people.

We Are Proud OF the Band

The Northwestern University mill
tary band furnished the music for y
picnic at Hustisford, Sunday, and
showed the people in attendance
at the picnic, what good music
is real classic music-not the ordi-
nary "spiel' of the "rattle to bang"
bands which mistake noise for har-
mony and wind for symphony. The
boys play exceedingly we'll.

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

Someone has said, "Tie yourself
to a post some day and let your horse
loaf around from four to ten hours
and see how you like it," The trouble
is, that there are lot of men who
really have not the sense of an ordi-
nary horse and do not know how to
treat an animal-they are regular
jackhorses and should be groomed
with u baseball bat.
1t is true, we cannot help recog-
nizing the faults and shortcomings of
others occasionally, but we should not
forget that we are not perfect and 9th
ers may see faults in us which we
foollshly think are hidden from the
world. 1t would be better, however,
if we only saw the good in our associ-
ates by keeping the concept of good
in our mentality.
The question was asked u. S.
senator: What is a blind partisan :?
His answer was appTopos just at this
time: One who does not know the
color of money. Judging from reports
that come from the national scspitol,
there are only few who are "blind
partisans," and one ia from Wiscon-
sin, and his name need not be men
toned.
The proposition of the Stephenson
wing of the reformers to make Sena-
tor George Hudnall of Superior, their
gubernatorial candidate next year,
may not be satisfactory. even q little
bit, to wild-eyed, extreme reformers
who would not know real, genuine,
sensible reform if they should meet
it in the road. 1t can, however. be
said to the credit of Mr.. Hudnall,
that he is one of the few intelligent
members of the state senate. He is
a conscientious representative, hard
worker. able, clean and reliable, and
would make good chief executive.
Until tariff schedule rates are so
fixed, that the American manufac-
turer can not sell his products to the
foreign buyer less than to the home
consumer, our present tariff will be
wrong in principle and practice. The
robbing of the home consumer to
enormously enrich a few, should be
STOPPED, and it is up to the voters to
say the word at the ballot box at the
first opportunity.
1t is now generally admitted that
the world is divided into two classes:
Those who are honest, and the politi-
clans who misrepresent their constitu-
ents.
Senator Stephenson was in favor of
tree lumber before his election aud
when he wanted to be returned, but Re
voted against putting lumber Oh the
free list, and has voted steadily with
the senatorial representatives of the
allied interest on every effort to re-
wise the tariff duwnW ard.

tween negation, which denies all, and
credulity, which accepts all? Is it ra-
tional to deny everything that we do not
understand, or, on the contrary, to be-
lieve all the follies that morbid magma
tions give birth to, one after another?
Can we not possess at once the humility
which becomes the weak and the dignity
which becomes the strong?
