Communication

The relation of labor and prOtec
tive tariff I cannot see how a laboring
man or farmer can be a protectiOnist.
A high duty only increases the price OF
the articles they consume. 1t is uat-
ural law that to increase the use Of a
commodity increases the price OF it,
therefore to increase the use Of labor it
ought to increase wages. Does prOtec-
tion increase the use Of labor? It does
not, but on the contrary lessons the use
Of it. Why? If ANYTHING was man
ufactured in foreign country it would
take two laborers where it takes one
now; as many to do the manufacturing
and SO many to transport the manufac-
tured and the produce to feed those la
borers, therefore protective system
reduces labor to minimum thereby
injuring labor to that extent.
AS for the farmer, it makes but little
difference to him whether he feeds the
IabOrers in this country or some other
country, only in case Of feeding them,
at a distance has more to feed; he
would have to feed the sailor and the
railroad labOrers who have to transport
it, part of his grain and provisions,
and the manufactured article that he
uses, therefore, it would take more
produce; and it seems TO me that the
transportation companies are short
sighted in working for high tariff, for
surely the farther apart you can keep
the agricultural and the manufactures,
the more freight and passenger traffic
they would have, which would benefit
them as we'll as labor.
The only parties that I can see that
are benefited by protection are the man
ufacturers, and they stand about one to
ten thousand. Why benefit one at the
expense of SO many? Is it just.

Obituary

Rudolph Mengel was born on the lIth
Of November, l849, in the town of ely
man, Dodge county, Wisconsin, on his
farm, which has been the scene OF his
activities from his birth to his death, a

ure: Mrs. Frank Amlsbauer and Mrs.
julius Lieske of Franklin, Minnesota
and Mrs. Gustayus Flohr OF Emmett,
Wis.
That Mr.. Mengel was we'll thought OF
by his fellow toWnsmen is seen from the
frequency with which he was entrusted
with town offices. He was a man OF
sterling character, upright in his deal
ings, hating shams. He would not dis
semble. He was friend to charitable
and religious causes about him. In pol
itics he was one Of growing and most
useful element in national llfe-an IN
dependent voter, selecting men and
measures rather than blindly following
traditions. Over year ago Mr. Mengel
suspected physical disorders IN his frame
and seeking tho best medical aid obtain
able submitted himself to an operation,
and for time he seemed improved.
Last August an injury to his eye neces-
STATED return to the hospital and he
again improved for time and then be-
gan that steady decline which at last
relea sed him from all his sutferings last
Sunday afternoon, July 3, at 8 o'clock.
His end was peace.

An amusing instance occurred while the

and listened interestingly until the So

demurely and presented the flower to

laughingly accepted it and the little
midget retired.
