not fully equal to that made by the
reduction of the tariff is the fact adj
mitted further on in the News article,
when it says, con several lines of
wooden goods there was an increase
of over 60 per cent" Now this line
of manufactures on which the duty
was increased by the act of 1883 are
precisely the ones in which is used
Michigan Merino wsol of the X
grade, and the stimulous given their
production by this change in the
extent of the protection extended to
them has been worth to Michigan
wool growers the present season fully
is cents on every pound of
their wool. These are simply uncon-
trovertable facts, and The News is
welcome to all the free-trade conso-
lation they can find in them.
The other matters in The News
article are not germane to the ques-
ton, but they are wide of the mark,
simply assertions, which come from
whatever source they may, have no
foundation in fact, and have been
proven falacious in the history of this
country by the results which have
followed every modification of a. tariff
which gave reasonable protection to
American labor. "Stagnation" has
followed every modification of the
tariff that has been made in this
country since 1876, and active. bust
ness prosperity, with good pay for the
laborer has followed the enactment of
every tariff act in the history of the
United States.
This tariff question is one that
effects labor and laborers more than
capital and capitalists, and no class
of laboring men reap so many direct
benefits from the tariff as the farmers,
and we think such facts as the
change in the tariff on wool has
demonstrated, are easily and gener-
ally appreciated by that intelligent
class of Michigan citizens, and that
they will not be slow in sitting down
in full force on any free-trade theories
which effect the market for the sale
of the varied productions of the fer
tile fields of the Peninsula State. IF
they shall prove recreant to their in
terests in this matter, and go after
the strange heresies of free-trade, it
will be the first time in their history
that they have failed to be full of the
patriotism of self protection.

IT'S not true that in any sense the
liquor is party question nationally
considered. For instance the Repub.
lican party in Iowa is for prohibition,
in Ohio for taxation. The Demo
cratic party in Georgia is for prohibi-
ton and under stringent local OPP
ton law enacted by them the
sale of liquor has been pro-
hibited in 4S of the Sc counties,
while in Ohio it is for free rum and
its alliance with the liquor interest is
undisguised.

That organ of British free-trade
emissaries, the Detroit Evenings
News, speaking of little item we
published couple of weeks since,
about the effects Of the tariff of 1883,
on the price of wool, asks show does
does The Owosso TINES know that
this wool would bring S cents
pound more under the old tariff"
The TINES does know that the clip
from substantially the same hocks
sold in 1882 for from 80 to sc cents a
pound, while this year it sold from 27
to 81 cents, and we only know of one
lot that sold for more than 80 cents.
The TINES, also, knows, and the
British organ admits, that the ad ga
Aorem duty of 2a per cent. on wool
of the grade of Michigan x, which is
the average grade for Michigan me-
rino, was repealed or taken off, bv
the change in the tariff of 1883.
This reduction by the change in the
tariff is equal on the average price of
wool sold in Owosso in 1882, to GO
cents per h., and that varies but a
fraction from the difference in the
prices paid for the same grades of
wool in Owosso in 1882 and 1883,
and the reason that the reduction is

The free-traders assert that twenty
years of protection has not made a
single one of our industries selfsup-
porting. This Is wide of the mark.
THE TINES notes the salt industry as
one, and there are many others. But
if there was not one, that other fact
that under the operation of the pro-
tective tariff of 1862 the price of
goods, the manufacture of which is
protected by that tariff, have de-
creased in price from 20 to 50 per
cent, and there is not single excep.
ton so far as THE TINES can ascertain,
attests most emphatically the wisdom
of the protective policy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Commodore Eng
lish, acting Secretary of the navy, last night
received the following from Lieutenant-com-
mander Welsh at Pensacola: Naval forces
convalescent. Will issue rations tomorrow
to the destitute of the reserve, whom Gov
ernor Bloxham has never noticed. Sent a
telegram to him, as authorized by the depart
ment." Great indignation is felt at the Navy
Department at the course pursued by the
State authorities of Florida in not paying
any attention to the necessity of caring for
the destitute on the reservation at Pensacola,
even when appealed to by the naval
authorities. Commodore English says
with regard to the matter that
the absolute Indifference of the State author
tiles is almost lack of humanity when it is
considered that residents of the reserve are
in no way connected with the navy, but
should be the especial care of the State,
which, if unwilling or unable to prevent
their starving, could at least help them by
an appeal for public assistance. He says fur
ther that publications intlmatng a lack of
humanity on the part of the Navy Depart
ment are entirely uncalled for. The depart
ment called the atttntion of the State Off
cials to the condition of affairs, and when no
action was taken by them, authorized the
distribution of rations from the government
supplies. 1t is the impression that 1he indif-
ference shown arises from pique because of
the closing Of the Pensacola navy-yard.
