! Last year we sent SO, 900, 900 Of coin
to Europe to pay for European labor. I
want that money kept here to pay for
American labor
The free trade Democrats will tell you
that your fine clothes and silks will cost
too much if you adopt the protective
policy. We don't want SO many silks,
and the fine clothes We can make our
selves, if we try.
We have good crop this year. Eng
land has a poor one Our surplus may
sell this time, but when Europe has good
crops, ours will have no foreign market.
1t is bad policy to rely on the misfor.
tunes Of other nations for market. We
want our market at home.
Build our factories here. and We shall
have good market at our own doors
This is true American policy. Laborcrs,
mechanic farmers, manufacturers, think
for yourselves do not ask politicians to
think for you. Your own reason will
teach you whether their statements are
true. The real question is: "Shall Amer

Michigan is destitute of banking cap
ital why? Our stupid democratic con-
stitution practically prohibits banks, and
cur laws discriminate against capital and
manufacturing. The constitution and
laws should be altered to favor both these
interest. Michigan is, by nature, the
richest State in the world She has the
best iron and copper mines, inexhausta-
bic beds of plaster, the best salt wells,
coal, lumber, marble, pine lands, good
climate, unequalled lakes of fresh water,
and beautiful commercial position
But with all this wealth she is poor
The Almighty has made her rich-the
folly of man makes her poor. Diversity
of employment will enable the people to
sustain loss of crops much better than
they can when they rely solely on agr-
cultural produce.
England and France may lose their
crops, but their manufactures supply
them with money to buy their food from
other countries, while, if we lose ours,
general prostration and poverty ensues.
Every man, woman and child in Amer
lea may be we'll fed, well clothed, we'll

We imported s33S, 10000 of the pro.

them all to pay our bills, We added &c.,
OOO, 900 of coin to pay the balance, and
this keeps us poor. If you are satisfied
with this one sided and impoverishing
traffic, stick to the free trade Democracy,
for they join with Slavery to prevent a
change. But if you prefer a better state
Of trade and greater prosperity, let your
vote count one in favor of American IN
