Pearls Before Swine.

II beg your pardon, SIR" said the
young man, stopping the old gentle
man, who was on the point OF speaking:
'.you were about to remark that boys
are different now from what they used
to be-"
"Yes,' replied the old gentleman,
'.they-"
"And you were intending, also, to say
that when you were a boy you didn't
have such an easy slime as 1 do, for in

"That's exactly what"
Eyes, l thought so. And then you
were gong to mention the interesting
fact that when you were of nv age YOU
had to get up before daylight and milk
the cows, and drive EN- to parster, and
saw and split the wood, and make tn.
fires, and clean out the horses, and
curry ZEN and brush EN- and harness

"Of course 1 have. And then Won
thought of adding a word or two about
the money I spend for clothing Incl
dentally remarking that all you had to

There's no denying that something
OF that sort was running through my
mind"
"And perhaps you were considering
1T not entirely inappropriate to remark
that If boys nowadays had a little less
book farming and knew a little more
about real practical common.sense

The most cheering reports come
from New York. The Republican
outlook there indicates majority for
Blaine and Logan from 10000 up.
There as everywhere the Tariff issue
absorbs all the attention, and most of
the men employed in the manufac-
turing establishments, who have hith-
erto been Democrats, are now men,
bers of Republican clubs, and will
vote the Republican ticket, National,
State, Congressional and Legislative.
So let the working men of Michigan
do; especially ought they to vote for
that determined and able advocate
of the labor interests, Roswell G.
Horr for Representative in Congress

great blood purifier liver and kidney remedy
and life giving principle, a'perfect renovator
and invigorator of the system carrying away
all poisonous matter and restoring the blood
to healthy condition, enriching it, refreshing
and invigorating both mind and body. They
are easy of administration, prompt in their
action, certain in their results. safe and re-
liable in all forms of disease. Every mo-
ment of our lives, every part of our bodies,
is wearing out and being built up anew.
This work is accomplished by the blood.
The blood if pure makes the entire circuit OF
the body every seven minutes. But if it be-
comes weak or vitiated and does not per-
form its work properly the system is actually
poisoned by the worn out matter clogging
the vital organs instead of leaving the body.
Cleanse the blood whenever you find its
impurities bursting through the skin in pim-

in order, the blood pure, health of the sys'
tenn will follow. Take GOLDEN SEAL

MORRIS OSBURN.
FOR STATE SENATOR, TWENTIETH DIS
TRICT-A FEW OF THE CHAR.
ACTERIsTICs OF THE
NOMINEE.

The counties of Shiawassee and
Livingston comprise the Twentieth
Senatorial district. The recent meet.
ing of the Republican convention of
this Senatorial district was marked
by spirit of perfect harmony and
Morris Osburn, of Owosso, was unan.
imously chosen as standard bearer.
The honor came to Mr.. Osburn en-
tirely unsought and he was 10th to
leave his large farming interests to
enter the canvass; but the earnest
solicitation of friends all over the
district and the duty that a unani-
nous call imposes, overcane all per-
sonal objections and he accepted the
nomination in the spirit it was offered.
Mr.. Osburn, as is we'll known, is
not an Office seeker. He never ran
for public office, although urged
many times to do so, because of his
prominence and strength. He has
always been a true blue Republican
and has been liberal in time and
money in advancing the cause.
Mr.. Osburn came to Shiawassee CO.
2S years ago. For quarter of a cen.
fury, he was actively engaged in
mercantile business in Owosso, and
has built an enviable reputation for
business tact, straightforward and
honest dealing. A man of the pro.
gressive stamp, he has been at the
head of every enterprise calculated
to build up his adopted city and
county. For the past three years he
has been extensively engaged in
farming and has devoted much time
in the raising of blooded stock. He
is extensively known throughout the
county and is very popular.
Mr.. Osburn is a plain, blunt man.
He says but little but does a re.
markable amount Of thinking. He
is an indefatigable worker, and that
is what is sadly needed in the
legislature-more workers and less
takers. If Mr.. Osburn is elected,
the citizens of this district may rest
assured that he will be alive to their
every interest and do all in his
power to advance it. He will represent
the whole district, not a part. The
interests of part will not be advanc-
ed to the detriment of another. This
is manifestly just to all interests
and cannot fail to meet the ap-
proval Of the voters Of Shiawassee
county and will gain him many
friends.
Republicans Of Livingston and
Shiawassee counties, your representa-
tives unanimously nominated Morris
Osburn for State Senator and he is
entitled to your every vote. Of his
qualifications and honesty there is no
doubt, so see to it that on the fourth
of November you roll him up hand.

MIDDLEBURY, OCT. Fl. 1884.
EDITOR TIMEs:-While in your
beautiful city last Saturday evening 1
was astonished and surprised to hear
that some evil designing persons were
very industrious in circulating false
reports in regard to myself One of
which is that 1 did not enlist until
late in 1865, and never left the State.
I feel sorry to think that there are
individuals in our midst who are so
INSCRIPTIONS as to resort to such po-
litical trickery and demagogism for
the purpose of making political capt.
tai for themselves or their friends, and
who have the gall to rob fellow
soldier of any little hard earned re-
spect which he may have gained
while in the army. In order that the
electors of this district, who are un-
acquainted with me may know the
whole truth in regard to the matter,
/ wish through the columns of your
paper to make the following state
ment of facts: On the a7th day of
August 1864, 1 enlisted in the First
Mich. Cavalry, and was in camp at
Jackson about 20 days, when was sent
forward to the regiment, and was
assigned to Co. d. of said Regiment,
which / had the honor of being a
member of until the final breaking
up of the rebellion; participating in
the grand review in Washington, go
ing with my company to Fort Leaven-
worth, where the regiment was or
dered for the purpose of being con.
solidated with the 9th and 9TH, and
while on the plains near Fort Leaven.

day of June 1865, by instructions
from the War Department, which dis

Der I, 1865. On leaving home for
the army l resigned or turned over
the Office of Township Clerk to the

tried, as they now do, to make the
country believe that the Tariff was
not an issue, but they went so far in
the great industrial States as to make
the campaign for Polk, Dallas, and
the Tariff of IS4a-the great protect

Pennsylvania and New York were
carried for Polk, and the great states
man, Clay, was defeated. What fol-

Cabinet as Secretary Of the Treasury,
Robert ]. Walker, an emphatic free
trader, who urged upon Congress the
importance of changing the protect
i've Tariff of 1912, to one for revenue
only. The Democratic House
promptly acceeded to his demand, as
Democratic Representatives then, as
now, were in favor of free-trade, for
the interest of John Bull and against
those of Brother Jonathan. The
Senate was equally divided between
Wings and Democrats, but after a
time, Mr.. Dallas before election) the
avowed protectionist, from Pennsyl-
vania, who was nominated to assure
the Democratic protectionists that
the Democracy would not abolish the
then protective Tariff, was forced to
give his vote for the Walker bill, and
it became law. Under its operation
all our great manufacturing interests
were paralyzed and many of them
destroyed, among which was the iron
interest. one of our great industries
o.day in Michigan, and it was prac.
tically abandoned in Pennsylvania
For a brief period after the passage
of the Walker bill iron was cheaper
than under the protective policy a:
illustrated by the Tariff of IS42. Blu
no sooner were our blast furnace:
blown out, and our iron manufacture:

turers sure of the market, than they
put the prices up from IS to IS PEI

protective Tariff of 1912.
This, like all other changes in thu
Tariff laws, in the interest of free trade
was followed by large Importation
of foreign goods. and an era of wilc
speculation and wildcat banking
which in 1857 ended in a general col
lapse-the most general, disastrous
