From s. s. Randall, Democratic Ex-Spcaker
of the House.
It is alleged that over production, un-
der an incidental protective system, has
caused the present stagnatiOn in bust
ness. If so, could it be corrected by add
ing to that OverprOductiOn by increased
importation of like products from other
countries coming here because of reduc-
ed dutiesp 1t could not, for then the
government would be still richer while
our people, driven out Of their own mar
kets would be impoverished.
Free trade never did and never will
exist between countries having differ
ent governmental institutions and of
course existing under different condi-
lions because these different conditions
vary the cause Of production. 1t will
not be denied that the rate Of interest
indicates the cost Of living, that the
cost of living indicates the price OF Ia
Dor, and that the price of labor indicates
the cost of production. This rule may
sometimes be disturbed by abnormal
conditions, sueh as crop failures, war or
oyertrading. The country which has
the lower rate OF business interest will
drive the country having the higher rate
of business interest out of the worlds
market, and eventually out of its own
domestic markets; 1t will absorb all Its
means OF paying its debts, including all
specie, than which nothing can be
worse.
There Is no mode of recovery from
such disaster save, first, by the reduction
of the rate of business interest to a par
with low interest countries, or, secondly
by the imposition Of such duties on i'm

Killing a Desperate.

FLINT, Mich, June 2O.-Offcer E. M. Parsall,
of this city, shot and killed Lorenzo D.. Pickle, a
desperate, who resisted giS arrest at Richfeld Cen,
Flushing for disorderly conduct, fired several
shots at Deputy Sheriff Carton, of that place,
who attempted to arrest him last week. Since
that time Pickle has been armed with two re-
who would dare attempt his arrest, Yes
terday Parsall received Il warrant, with
orders to arrest Pickle, and started in search of
the man, whom he found in front of the store at
Richfeld Center. Pickle attempted to shoot the
officer on sight, but his revolver caught in the
lining of his coat, and the officer, who had vainly
requested him to submit to arrest, fired at him
three times while he was attempting to eXtricate
his revolver. One of the shots struck Pickle in
the breast. He then said: 81 have enough" and
fell into the officers arms and expired. Pickle
was about sixty years old.

not elect him they cannot elect anybody. The
remainder of the ticket is, to our notion, as we
have already expressed it, strong. AS much as
possible was done in its selection to placate the
temperance element, in which direction also the
platform tends. The plank favoring a %constitu-
tional convention means this and nothing else.
1t says, virtually, to everybody, hlt particular
ly to the temperance folks: COME now and
help us to call the people together and let
their will be expressed in a new Constitution.
If they want a prohibition Constitution, let
them saytso; if they do not, let them likewise de-
clare it." This certainly can be argued as a fair
attitude in a party sense, and in that sense one
that the temperance folks will find difficulty in
a~ssalling. For ourselves, we do not believe in
a new Constitution. We do believe in the plank
in favor of the taking out of politics the prisons
and benevolent institutions. The shameless dis
regard for law and decency which the Democrats
create a sentiment strong enough to do away
with the barbarity of making the State charities
the spoils of party. Altogether, the platform
does we'll, and with the candidates that have
been placed upon it we repeat our belief that if
the Republicans cannot win, it will be because
success does not lie with them this year under
any circumstances,
