SWEPT INTO THE STREAM.


One Thousand Acres OF Land ana
s'Risht Smart or Bears.''
On the deck Of big Mississippi steamboat
stood an aged Southern planter. Indicating
by sweep Of his arm the waters the boat was
passing over, he said to passenger from the
North: when l was twelve years old l killed
my first bear on a new plantation my father
was then cutting out Of a forest that grew di-
recty over the waters of this bend. That was
a good plantation, and there was a right smart
of bears there, tOe But that one thousand
acres Of land went into the Mississippi years
ago."
1t is putting no strain upon the figure to say
that great forests Of youthful hope, wOmanly
beauty and manly strength are swept In the
same way every year in the great, turbid tor
rent of disease and death. Yet 1t should not be

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER II. 1884
Get out the Vote.

Get out the Vote.
Lansing Republican.
The Republicans Of Michigan have
victory assured at the coming election If
they will only see to 1t that their fall
strength finds its way into the ballot
box. An analysis OF the figures will
bear us out in this assertion.
In 1880 the total vote cast i'm Michigan
on Secretary of State was 353,276. This
was divided as follows: Republic
1S5,325; Democrat. 130,717; Greenback,
1880; Prohibition, l,l47; scattering,
897.
In 1882 the total vote on the same Of
ficer was 314,692, divided as follows: Re-
publican, 15S,030; Democrat and Green
back. 49,441; Prohibition, 1881; scatter
ing, 2,540.
In 1883 the total vote on Regents was
263363, divides as follows: Republican,
120627; Democrat and Greenback, 1877
635; Prohibition, 1889; scattering, 466.
Now what does an analysis of these
figures show? To begin with, we find
that 1854 men who exercised the right
of suffrage in 1880 failed to go to the
polls in 1882. OF this number 1926
were Republicans. For the Democrats
who remained at home the Republican
majority Of that year would nearly effsst
them If brought to the polls. so that a
full vote in 1882 ought to have given a
Republican majority Of over $4,000.
The vote on Regents in 1883 shows
nothing but general apathy. When the
total is taken we find it 89.9l2 less than
in 1890, and the Republican vote of 1883
6463S less than in 1880.
Let us take glance at the present
condition of affairs. To 90 back to 1882,
the Republicans on fair estimate had
$4,000 majority. In THE campaign of
1884 the Prohibition vete will reach
probably 30 OF that number 5000
originally belonged to the party. This
year fully 5000 Gresnbackers and Demo-
Gratis are going to vote the ticket as a
harbOr of refuge. In all previous cleo
lions the Republicans have furnished at
least ineteen-twentieth of the Prohibit
ton strength; this year they will furnish
about three-quarterS. In case the Dem
ocrats and Greenbackers add g., } - the
g., original PrOhibitiOnists, this would
leave 10000 Republicans to 90 into the
Prohibition party; and yet the Republi-
can party would retain 1900 majority
on as full vote as was east in 1880. But
the chances are even better than this
There are to-day in Michigan at least
10000 more voters than in 1880, and it is
no more than fair to claim that more
than half are Republicans. In 1882
there was strong, immigration from nor
thern Ohio and Northern Indiana.
Despite the direct combination of Dem
ocrats and Green hackers and the indirect
aid which ia being rendered them by
Prohibitionists, the Republican party
can sweep this state by 10000 majority on
both electors and state officers. But to
do this there must be no tagging on sles.
ton day. The Republican state central
committee. the county committees, the
school district committees, and the
Blaine and Logan clubs have work tC
perform in seeing that every Republican
does his duty on Nov. 4. After all it il
the township committees and the Blaine
and Logan clubs on which the great re.
sponsibility rests.

Natural Allies.
From the Detroit Post.
j, R. Dodge, statisian of the agricul-
tural department., in his report of 1888
says: .
"The farmer feeds oil, but when all
are farmers he can only feed himself,
which is a necessary operation but not
lucrative business. Miners, Mechanics,
and especially artisans and operatives,
are of great benfit to agriculture. They
augment the number to be fed and in
crease agricultural values. They make
something which farmers need, and re-
duce the price of articles before brought
from distance at needless cost"
Mr.. Dodge makes tables of four groups
of states. The first those in which so
per cent are farmers and 20 per cent are
in manufacturing or other occupations.
Second, those with from thirty to fifty
per cent farmers. Third. those with
80 to Is per cent. Fourth those with
over 20 per cent farmers. He gives the
value OF manufactured products and Of
farms, the farmers incomes and the
wages of their wOrkmen in each, these
all showing the benefit of factories and
farms as neighbOrs and allies.

The second group, seven states, shows

The third group. four states, shows
1891 ,585, SIT Of manufactures; 7O,1O2,579
acres Of farm lands worth $40 70 per
acre.
The fourth group nineteen states and
territories, shows $676,627 $50 Of manu-
features; 49,, 1888, 112 acres OF farm lands
valued al SO OF per acre.
All show a decrease in value Of land
where manufactures decrease.
Michigan is in the second group, with
farms valued at $50 is per acre. Iowa
is in the third group, with farms rated
at % 80 per acre, or 40 per cent lower.
Tables are also given to show that
counties in which there 10 most manu-
featuring have more valuable farms
than those in the same state with less.
The average income Of farmers in the
fist group OF states, with most manu-
featuring, is $457 per year; in the second
group, 1894; third group $261; fourth
group, $3.50. This shows how home
manufactures pay the farmer.
The average monthly wages of farm
workmen are $24 IA, 1923 81, $40 81, $13-
81, in each Of the groups, showing that
the workman, as well az the farm owner,
has his benefit
