EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS.
‘'complications;'
In his correspondence from Madison
last week the editor of The Tribune re
ferred to what he calls some of the
complications of the tariff question,
and propounded several questions in
regard to import duties which affect
some of our local industries. After re
ferring to a petition to congress pray
ing that the duties be retained upon
lead and zinc, which a few years ago
was circulated throughout this lead re
gion, he says:
“We do not propose to touch the mer
its of the tariff question at present, but
merely refer to this bit of local histoiy
to indicate the complications of the
subject, and to illustrate the inconsis
tency of those democrats who are howl
ing for free trade, and denouncing all
protection as ‘republican robbery.’ *
* * What Mr. Jones’ views on
this subject may be, we can only sur
mise. If they accord with the demo
cratic press of this district he will fa
vor practically free trade, and to be
consistent must include all products in
a list for reduction to a revenue basis,
—lead, zinc and wool as well as iron,
coal and articles produced or manufac
tured in other states.”
We do not think that anybody who
took part the last congressional cam
paign in this district ought to have
any doubts us to the position of our
present congressman ou the tariff ques
tion. The platform of the convention
which nominated him demanded “an
immediate reduction in the tariff, with
a view ultimately to the abolition of
all duties except for revenue only.”
Upon this plank Mr. Jones fairly
took his stand, and advocated tariff re
form in every one of his speeches dur
ing the campaign. The words in quo
tations, we believe, define Mr. Jones’
position exactly, and it is the only one
consistent with true democratic doc
trine.
In regard to the duties upon the
products of zinc ores, w hich are the du
ties chiefly relied upon by our local
protectionists for political capital,
there are some phases very favorable
to revenue reformers, even from a sel
fish standpoint. In the first place, it is
necessary for the successful and profit
able manufacture of either spelter or
oxide from these ores to have an abun
dance of cheap coal—as it takes some
thin;' more than two tons of coal to
one ton of ore to produce the former,
and something more than one ton of
coal to one ton of ore to produce the
latter. Now the rate of duty laid upon
coal by the tariff laws to which our
protection friends attribute the exist
ence and success of the zinc industry
in this section, is as high as the duty
upon zinc in any form. To show how
important a part the cost of coal plays
in the reduction of zinc ores, it is only
necessary to call attention to the
fact that the high price of coal was the
chief reason assigned for the shutting
down of the old Uellevue Zinc works
at this place, and the starting of Mat
thieson & Ilegler’s and other works at
La Salic, Peru and other points—some
of which would have been established
here were it not for this one reason.
Our protection friends may reply that
the high freights charged by the rail
road companies at that time also con
tributed to lire cost of coal. Hut it is
right here in regard to railroad freights,
that alt protectionists must remain si
lent. For it is safe to say that the
outrageous high tariff upon rails—
which before the present law was pass
ed was as high as twenty-eight dollars
on a ton, or twenty-seven dollars worth
of steel rails, retarded the railroad
building of the country many years.
And if it were not for this duly and
the other higher duties upon every ar
ticle which enters into railroad con
stniclioVi, instead of having only one
short line of railroad at that lime, this
mining region would have been inter
sected by trunk lines of roads, and in
conseuueneo cf them the mining indus
try as well as every other industry
would have grown and prospered.
This subject of the effect of the tariff
upon our home interests is fruitful of
speculation not at all favorable to the
cramping and dwarfing policy of so
callcd protection.
There is also a special reason why
the editor of The Tribune ought to be
careful about making a partisan at
tack upon tbc democratic policy of
“practical free trade" being inimical
to our local interests. The mem
bers of his party who framed the bill
passed by the last congress to salify
the demand for tariff reforjn did not
treat our industries in a very high
minded manner. While they reduced
tin 1 duty upon oxide of zinc they obey
ed the dictates of a strong lobby for
the spelter interest, and let the old du
ty remain. And this was done while
we were represented by a high protec
tion member from this district for
whom his friends claim vast influence.
In like manner did the last congress
treat the wool growers, whom The
Tribune would like to alarm. The du
ties upon wool was reduced, biu the
manufacturers were influential enough
to keep all kinds of woolen goods as
high as ever, and in some instances
had them increased.
We need not enumerate more of the
inconsistencies and absurdities of the
present tariff laws. It is the same old
story: rich monopolies always carry
ing their ends, no matter how unscrup
ulously they are brought al^out.
The Democrat favors the lowest tar
iff possible which will raise sufficient
revenue to meet the ligitimate expen
ses ot the government economically
administered. The lower the tariff tax
is it suits us the better, just the same
as in the case of any other tax. Viewed
in this light the question of tariff tax
ation never becomes more complicated
than any other manner of taxation. It
is only to those who have a misconcep
tion of foreign trade that its complexi
ty appears to pass all understanding.
Foreign trade, like home trade, is ben
eficial, and ought to be encouraged and
not restrained. When man acts as
though he were more wise titan his
maker and attempts, as does the Amer
ican congress to frame tariff laws
which will, by encouraging some in
dustries and restraining others, pro
mote the welfare and advance the in
terests of the whole country, it is
then that the question becomes too
complicated for the greatest human
intellects. „_^
We have received from the Ameri
can Iron and Steel association tariff
tracts in support of the protective
duties on iron and steel. We return
thanks to the senders, but assure them
that their missionary efforts are
wasted, as we are not open to convic
tion.
OUR LAST LETTER FROM EUROPE.
EDINBURGH— ITS PEACES OF INTER
EST-OTHER INTERESTING SIGHTS IN
SCOTLAND—LIVERPOOL AND HOMK-
M'ARD BOUND THE TRIP ACROSS
THE OCEAN—NEW YORK HARBOR.
We left Edinburgh in the middle of
the afternoon, and it seemed very ap
propriate to leave the beautiful city
from Waverly station. On our way to
Stirling we passed through some very
line farming country and found the
farmers, although it was the last week
in September, in the midst of harvest
ing. At Linlithgow we caught a glimpse
of the fine old palace in which Mary
Stuart was born. We were fortunate
in having in our compartment of the
railway carnage a young Scotchman, a
a very liberal one, who had traveled
extensively in the United States. His
remarks on the history of the country
we were passing through were very en
tertaining. Like so many of the travel
ers we had met during the summer, |
and especially since our return from ;
the continent, he was deeply interested
in the Amer.can novel “Democracy.”
This clever little novel seemed tocreate !
a great deal of interest in England and
Scotland. We could go nowhere, but |
we found someone reading it, and ac
cepting all that it said as the true ac- '
count of American political life. ;
We reached Stirling about 5 o’clock,
and as we intended to stay there only :
that night, we drove at once to our ho- j
tel, the "Gulden Lion,” and from there
to Stirling castle. It was a very steep
hill leading to Hie castle, and we were ,
much amused at the dialogue between 1
our coachman and the children shout-1
ing at us as we toiled along. The dia
logue was in broad Scotch and was
rather more vigorous than anything
William Black gives us. We found
Stirling castle very interesting, and the
view from there was superb, embracing
as it did the Highlands, Wallace’s
monument, the old bridge across the
Forth, the battle held of Bannockburn
and the charming surroundings of Stir
ling. It one coiner of the walls was an
aperture called the “lady’s look out,”
giving a delightful view of the grounds
where the royal games were played.
This was formerly the “look out” of
the Scottish queens. The castle is very
old and has had an eventful history.
It seems to have been the favorite res
idence of the kings and queens of Scot
land.
We dined at our hotel about seven
o’clock, and we found the cheerful fire
in the large open fire place a great ad
dition to our comfort. It was quite
dark, too, at that time. In the middle
of the night we were awakened by the
music of the bagpipes, and the march
of many feet up the stony street to the
tune of “Charlie is My Darling.” It
was some athletic club returning from
a neighboring town.
Quite early in the morning we break
fasted and started for Callender. It
seemed as if we ought to be bound for
Oban, with a genuine William Black
cruise to Stornoway in view. Unluck
ily* it began to rain almost as soon as
we entered the Highlands. The Bridge
of-Allan seemed a beautiful spot. At
Dunblane, where there is a fine cathe
dral, we saw a number of Irish har
vesters, waiting for a train. The wo
men were bare headed and with bare
feet, and seemed not to mind the rain
at all. We left the Highland train at
Callender, the rain still pouring down.
At Callender it is said Gaelic is still
spoken, but we did not hear any. Af
ter getting on all tins waterproof cloaks
and coats that w T e possessed, we mount
ed on the top of the coach in waiting,
put up our umbrellas, and fastened the
rubber apron in place. We were then
ready for the Brig o' Turk, Coilantogle
Ford, and the far-lamed Trossachs. It
was a very enjoyable drive from Cal
lender through the Trossachs to Loch
Katrine. The scenery was very fine,
the mountains looking so grand when
seen through the mist. The pretty
.Scotch heather was in full bloom, and
the bracken owing to the lateness of
the season had turned to a bright yel
lowish brown color. The Trossachs
Hotel seemed like some grand old me
diaeval castle in Hie midst of such
magnificent scenery. Soon after leav
ing the hotel we entered the Trossachs,
a narrow valley leading to Loch Kat
aud through which with great diffi
culty a road has been made. If we
had met Roderick Dim in it in shape of
another coach 1 don’t Know what the
consequences would have been. The
landing stage at Loch Katrine was very
picturesque, [t consisted of a long
gallery thatched wifli heather ana
built along the side of the cliff. From
this landing stage we embarked on the
“Rob Roy, and were taken across the
most beautiful of Scotch lakes to
Stronachlacher. It still rained a little
but all the passengers stayed on deck
to gaze at “Ellen’s Isle,” lien Venue,
and the beautiful scenery. Quotations
from Scott’s “Lady of the Lake” filled
the air. Wo took another coach on
landing again and drove over some
very dangerous roads and through the
bleakest, gloomiest country to Invers
naid. Drained in torrents when we
were in the wildest places, and the roar
of streams of coffee-colored water
brought most forcibly to my mind
Dickens’ description of his visit to the
i’ass of Glencoe. We lunched at the
very comfortable hotel at Inversnaid
and waited there an hour or so for the
steamer which was to take us over
Loch Lomond to Balloch. The position
of Inversnaid seemed very romantic,
and the view from there was very fine.
Near the hotel we visited a magnificent
cascade, the scene of Word worth’s
poem of “The Highland Girl.”
Our ride over Lock Lomond was
very enjoyable, as the weather had
cleared, and allowed us to see the line
scenery of the lake. We could also see
lien Lomond and were interested soon
after embarking in looking at Hob
Roy’s cave and various other points of
interest. Loch Lomond is the largest
lake in Great Britain, if I mistake not,
and in grandeur of scenery it probably
surpasses them all. It took us between
two and three hours to reach Balloch
pier from Inversnaid. Our steamer
was very much like an American river
steamer. At Balloch we took the train
for Glasgow via. Dumbarton, arriving
at Glasgow about six o’clock. Our ho
tel, “The George,” facing the fine
George square, was a very comfortable
one. That night we went the theatre
together for the first time since leaving
London, and saw Genevieve Ward (an
American actress) in her remarkable
personation of Stephanie in “Forget
me-not.” The next morning we saw a
few of the Glasgow sights, including
the fine old cathedral and made a few
purchases of Scotch articles. We were
intending to leave at noon for Ayr to
see "Bobbie Burn's” birthplace, Alh
way Kirk, the twa brigs o’ Doon and
Tam O’Shanter’s bridge, but unluckily
a plaid shawl, I have forgotten of
what clan, did not reach our hotel t s
soon as the shopkeeper had promised
it, and we were thus forced to miss our
train. As our lime was so limited we
thought it best to go at once to Liver
pool, w hich place we reached late at
night, after a fatiguing ride. We found
the London and Northwestern hotel
crammed from bottom to top with
Americans, most of them like ourselves
getting ready to sail. The hotel wag
used to such crowds, however. The
day before sailing is. I suppose to
everyone an exciting, busy one. It
was so to us at least. There w ere so
many things to see to; so many things
had been left until the hist minute;
trunks had to be repacked and various
things had to be hidden carefully away.
We found every shop in Liverpool an
xious to sell, and the streets were fillet!
with American women eagerly search
ing for final bargains in the way of
silks and laces. That evening we went
to the Alexandra theatre to see Toole,
the famous London comedian, and his
company “The Upper Crust,” but
we were too tired to enjoy it.
The next day, Saturday, September
30th, the entire population of the im
mense hotel seemed to rise en masse at
day-break. The scathe with the huge
American trunks began at once, and
all the luggage that had not been sent
to the steamer the evening before was
being taken down stairs. There was a
rush for the breakfast room, and those
who had not engaged their table the
evening before bad to wait their turn.
Immediately after breakfast began the
procession of cabs, laden inside and
out with rugs, portmanteaus, steamer
chairs, etc., bound for Princes landing
stage. Our boat, the “Alaska,” of the
Guiou line, fondly called “the grey
hound of the ocean,” was to leave at
noon. The "Bothnia,” of the Cunard
line, and two steamers of minor lines
were to leave at the same tim*. There
was a dense crowd at the landing
stage, and the instant we stepped from
our cabs our things were seized oy por
ters and we had to fly after them.
Mrs. Langtry and company were to
have embarked in the “Alaska,” but;
she changed her mind a few days lie
fore. The crowd (but whoever saw a
steamer land or depart without a
crowd of spectators?) had hoped to see
the “Jersey Lily.” We went out to the
“Alaska” a little before noon ou a
steam tender, a brass band playing in
honor of the Australian cricketers who
were on board. About two o’clock in
the afternoon we steamed down the
Mersey in the rain, and through the
mist saw the last of the innumerable
chimney pots which bristle all over the
tops of the Liverpool houses.
Before it grew dark we caught
glimpses of the Welsh coast about
Conway and Llandudrno, and could see
the mountains inland. The Irish chan
nel was not very rough that night, and
almost everyone was able to be on deck
when we reached Cork harbor and
took on the passengers from Queens
town. We experienced very rough
weather the next two days. There was
was chance of getting on deck and al
most every one was sea sick. The ves
sel rolled from one side to the other,
and being so very narrow it cut
through the waves, which came crash
ing on the decks as if to crush them in.
We came to the conclusion before the
voyage was over that the “Alaska”
was not a pleasant boat although the
fastest on the ocean. The staterooms
and passageways were very narrow,
and the decks unless the weather I
was very fine, and the sea remark-1
ably smooth were almost useless.
Our best run was 420 miles inl
one day, the best days run ever made. |
We should probably have made the)
fastest run across the Atlantic ever i
made as Mr. Union was one of the pas- i
sengers and was anxions for a fast
trip, but the two days after leaving.
Queenstown put us back. Counting I
the crew there were shout 1,300 per
sons on board. The list of cabin pas
sengers as usual contained a very cos
mopolitan array of names.
It became very warm as we approach
ed the American shores and on Sunday
morning we were able to gaze on Long i
Island and the huge hotel at Rockaways ;
and Coney Island. We had to wait
outside the harbor to go into the duck
wiih the tide. New York bay looked
as beautiful as ever. Everything
seemed so bright, the sky so blue and
the sun so dazzling. We were landed
at seven o’clock, but as it was Sunday
evening and after sunset we could not
get our trunks examined until the next
day. We felt however, that we were
home again. F. M.
In throwing overboard Judge Day,
of the supreme court, the republicans
of lowa acted very foolishly, and are
receiving very outspoken condemna- 1
tion therefor. Judge D.\y was a pro
hibitionist and voted for the amend
ment. but when the question came up
before him in his official capacity he
decided that the amendment had not
been adopted in the manner prescribed
by the laws of the state. In refusing
to renominate him his party showed
that they do not appreciate the worth (
of an independent judiciary.

Evidence accumulates that the re
sults in the lowa convention, so far
from being a triumph of prohibition
principles, was merely the victory of
a fraction of lowa politicians, repre
sented by Senator Wilson and Gov.
Sherman, who make it their busi
ness to exploit the popular delusion
that men can be made virtuous by
restricting their freedom for their
personal advancement. The disgust
with which the result is regarded in
some strong Republican counties indi
cates that the victory may be a barren
one for the Republican deraagoges,
but exceedingly fi uitful for the Demo
crats. The defeat of Heed for judge
if not of tire whole Republican ticket,
is liberally predicted.—St. Paul Pioneer

FAULTLESS PIONEER
AND
DUPLEX “ S” •
Barb Steel Fence Wire
k GALVANIZED k
AND ENAMELED.
THE “S” BARB STEEL WIRE is manufactured from the very best steel
known to the trade and guaranteed of equal tensile strength with any produc
tion of steel wire on the market. A test of six years, tried by all the arts of
barb fence monopolists to defeat the superior merits and claims of the -S ”
Barb are futile, it stands to day as the Grand Reflector and Embodiment of the
coming and Leading Barb Wire of the Land, proving conclusively the mani
fold ane excellent qualities of the PIONEER NEEDLE-POINTED ‘S' BARB.
Having fought through thick opposition at the front, we propose to main
tain it, knowing the valuable inherent qualities peculiar to the “ S ” Barb will
eventually crown it the “ King ” of fences, and the truth of this assertion is set
forth in abundant testimony found on the pages of our pamphlet to which your
attention is carefully and studiously drawn.
For ECONOMY, STABILITY, UTILITY, EFFICIENCY IT IS WITHOUT A PEER!
THE “S” IS THE BEST. CHEAPEST AND MOST DURABLE.
It is the champion light-weight barb, has cleanest, sharpest, shortest cut barb
made.
It is made of the very best Steel Wire.
It weighs about 16 ounces to the rod.
It is fastened on both wires and cannot turn.
The tension betw’een barbs is alike on both wires.
The barbs are provided with a shoulder that prevents the points from cut
ting. and tearing the flesh.
The only barb with a clear, sharp cut point, that will prick but not’cnt.
The only barb encircling both wires, thus preventing the strands from un
winning, should one wire break.
The barb is so attached to main strands that it leaves no broad base to gather
moisture and rust the wire.
It avoids all the imperfections of other w ires hence its rapid sale and in
creasing popularity.
There are no clumsy, rough-edged, wedged shaped meral barbs to cripple
stock.
One double strand of the u S” barb placed on the top of a stone wall, board or
rail fence, is a barrier admirably adapted to keep oft all encroachers, whether
man or beat.
It is the pioneer weather proof,wind proof, fire proof, flood proof, snow proof,
rust proof fence and possessess more excellent qualities then any other fence
ever produced. Manufactured bv J. HAISH & 00., DeKalb, Hi. Sold by
