Our Platform.

From tho Saginawian.
We believe that, natural resour-
ces considered, the best farming
county in Michigan is Saginaw.
We believe that the true west
ern paradise for men of moderate
means who wish to engage in the
first best business Of the world,
farming, is, by reason of cheap
lands and excellent markets, in
that district of Michigan known
as "the Shore" comprising the
counties of Iosco, Altoona, Alpena,
Montmorency, Pressure Isle and
Chehoygan, The ALPENA ARGUS
is doing good work in showing up
its especial locality and we entire
ly sympathize with its recent COM
ments on the Kansas mania which
we reprint: 1.-TWO thousand dol
lars is the amount of capital need
ed out west 10 commence farming,
while in Alpena county, a man can
take up a homestead, shoulder his
axe, (which is the extent of his
capitaD go on and build a log house,
clear his land, and commence farm
ing on small scale; and at the
same time he can find enough la
Dor to furnish him with the means
to get in his crops, and then the
foundation for a future fortune is
fairly begun. There are no rail
roads companies here to take away
n mans lands because he has been
unable to raise crops enough to
make his payments toward enrich
ing railroad land agents, but at the
end of five years he will get clear
title from the State, and the farm
is his own, the crops are not mort
gagged, and he lives in fear of no
hard-hearted spectators.
EARNING lands are cheap in Al
pena county, the prices of produce
are the highest, market is close
at hand, and crops grow abundant
". No Tomatoes here, and man
can retire at night without fear Of
his house demolished and
blown into eternity before
morning. We have plenty of wood,
lnmber, and in fact we are in the
land of civilization and about the
only thing which Kansas eXcels Al
pena county in is raising grasshop-
pers and hiring agents to puff up
the country"

July Weather.

During the past week, the wca-

thermometer register ng from IS
degrees to 80 degrees in the shade.
The red hot tidal wave of heat
which made it so uncomfortable
and disastrous in our larger cities,
did not reach this place, as the
highest temperature recorded at
the signal Office, was 80 degrees in
the shade, on the 18th and 10Th.
The general tendency seemed to
he towards a decrease of temper
Azure all over the country, as a
cold wave which was slowly and
surely progressing from the west,
reached this place on the Goth
The lowest temperature recorded
at the signal Office on that day was
6l degrees, and on the 23rd the
thermometer registered as low as
30 degrees.

comparative maximum and mimi

"lf You want to see man burst
into a wild transport of JOY and
smile all over his face, inst ask n
Presque Isle county farmer how his
crops are doing."-Presque Isle
County Advance.
Well, that seem to be about the
natural thing; at least it is in this
county, and who can blame the
farmers for feeling happy! They
have been repeatedly told that their
lands were "worthless," that "they
ought to go to Kansas" that exam
sas was the only country in the
world and many other discourage
ing remarks. And now, when the
facts are shown mp to them in their
real light, and they find that they
are raising about double the crops
to the acre, with something like
three times the prices that can be
obtained in Kansas; Of course they
chuclile in their sleeves over their
fine prospects, and turn a deaf ear
to all Kansas land agent cores
pondents.

Crop Prospects.

A New York morning paper
recently had two columns on the
prospects Of an abundant harvest,
which seems TO be excellent.
About 5O,0OO,OO0 acres were put in
wheat the present year, an increase
of 5 per cent. for winter and IS for
spring wheat over last year.
Northern States will this year pro-
duce nearly four-fifth Of the entire
crops. These are Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois,
Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Cali
fornia. The crop promises to ex-
coed 350,000,000 bushels OF wheat.
OF this 45 million will be needed
for seed, intimated we shall have
a surplus Of 7O,O0O,OO0 for ship
ment. Besides 10000, 900 in wheat
we have 50,000,000, in Indiana,
and Illinois alone has 100000 in
corn, aud Iowa 100000; the
acreage Of corn has increased 20,-
since 1860. The prospects
are for fair rather than great crop
acreage in oats. The cotton crop
Is 8 per cent. greater than last year.
Southern States have far greater
acreage in feed crops than ever be-
'ore.

Cleaning the Ocdnenc River.

From the Prcsque Isle County Advance.
There are hundreds of millions
Of good pine on the Ocqueoc river,
which would have long since found
its way TO market, were each owner
not afraid TO commence the job Of
cleaning out the stream, and wait
ing anxionsly for his neighhor to
perform the unpleasant task. and
then let him in to reap the benefit
of the labor. AS this great obsta-
Gle is removed, we hope to sec
large operations on the river next
winter. Mr.. Hiram Il. Strohn,
foreman for A. c. Thompson. Of
Barrie. Ont, was tho first TO com
meuce the laborious job of fitting
this stream out for running timber.
Mr.. Strohn cleaned ont so miles Of
the river last fall, performed win
ter's operation in square timber,
that distance up from its mouth.
drove his timber down to Ham
monds Bay, during the last month,
and has since shipped it all to Que
bee.

worthy of the sufIrages of the peo-
pie Of Michigan, and the candidates
ought to be elected. The conven-
ton also made an admirable declar-
alton of principles that no old-time
Democrat will be ashamed Of, and
we have this feeling upon the sub
icct: We can suffer defeat on such
n platform without a sense of hui
initiation that would inevitably fol-
low victory on a platform abne-
eating the timc-honored principles
of Democracy on the currency ques-
ton. We believe the people de-
mand that if we have paper curren-
cy it shall be convertible to coin at
the pleasure of the holder, and this
is the declaration of the Democracy
of Michigan.-Owosso Press.
