The farmers of the country Justly CON-

Morrison's new tariff bill proposes to re-
duce 1t another 20 per cent, and all six of
Michigan's democratic congressman favor
The bill. Wool growers of Michigan, you
who voted for Yaple and his democratic
coadjutors, you didn't think they would do
this, did your But they do, just the same.
Won't you be glad to vote the fusion ticket
again next fall? Perhaps if you will do SO
you can get free wool. What blessing it

in wages, death blows at our industries, etc

Let the government issue two hundred
millions OF paper dollars absolute money!
receivable for all dues TO the government:
provide by law that there should be no in
crease IN the amount of such money out
standing at any time, and that on and after
the expiration of three months from its issue
at least one half of all dues to the govern
inent must be paid in that money. Does any
one suppose that there would, in three
months thereafter, be dollar of it to be had
10y paying par for it in gold? If so his sim
plicity of mind must be phenomenal. Such
money, under such conditions, would COM
rnsnd Goro than two hundred per cent pre-
MUM in gold.
The foregoing is an extract from the
Par Pa,0 Herald, condensed from the i'm
eyteGn Sentry. It would be difficult mat
ter 20 "condense" more foolishness in the
same space. What pity it is that men who
have such brilliant financial talent and abili-
ty As to be able Go convert rags into money
which shall be worth more than three times as
much as gold, are not permitted TO control
the finances of the nation Ii would be q
magnificent speculation for our government
and for the people. Just think of it; few
pounds of valueless rags, ground through the
government paper mill and stamped
S2o0,OO0,0o0, and absolutely worth more than
$Goo,0o0,Oool And any one who doubts the
feasibility of the plan, or the correctness of
the statement is possessed of phenomenal
simplicity! And it is with such "taffy" az
this that greenbackers are fed. Rags, rags
there's nothing like rags

On Thursday morning, April 10th,

ART departed this life, after an illness
OF only five days. He was in the 9th
year Of his life. In him our county

a kind, devoted husband and father.
From boyhood the writer was acquaint-

every way possible did he minister to
the wants and necessities of his fellow
men, and not with intention uf cxtort-

him from the family circle, and we are
consoled with the hope, that he has

its egre ess from the cut. Foster ran
back toward the train in order to get
off the trestle, but turned around again
and ran in the opposite direction.
When the train was in about Is feet of

petition TO congress- asking that employees Of
the United States government Executive de-
partments) should be compelled by law to
pay all debts incurred since the date of their
employment in the government service, does
not 80 far enough, aud proposes to make an
unjust discrimination. The army and navy
officers and senators and members Of the house
of representatives should BIO added, and, per-
hnps, all persons born and naturalized in the
United States who may DO resident in the
District of Columbia, and provso should be
added prohibiting assignments by merchants
to preferred creditors, and other methods OF
swndling so frequently rcsorted to, under
penalty of fine and imprisonment in the
penitentiary further provso preventing
any distinction in proposed payment of debts
on account of race, or color, or previous con-
dition of servitude, These amendments will
perfect the proposed bill and remove all OBJ
lection to its becoming a law. FAIR PLAY.
