THE annual value Of products of in
dustry in the United States, according to
Mr.. Nimmo. is $4,000 100000, while the
total value Of the exports Of merchandise
from Great Britain and Ireland, France,
Germany, Russia in Europe. Holland,
Austria, Hungary and Belgium aggre-
gate less than $4,5OO,OO0,OOO. And it is
this $l0,OOO,OOO,OOO of home product that
the Democratic party wanted the coun-
try to give up. We do rot think the
country is ready for the sacrifice. Let
us look after our home trade.

The NewaygO Tribune, owned and ed
tied 5y VIM. d. Fuller. who is chairman
of the state greenback central commit
lee aud also Governor Begole's swamp
land Commissioner, this week published
Gov. Begole's picture as that of the next
governor and under it a dispatch" from
Grand Rapids stating that Begole had
$500 majority in the upper peninsula
and had majority of 1921 in the state
with the electoral ticket only slightly
below Begole's figures. This Is probably
the most atrOciOus case of newspaper
gall Oh record. The Same paper also
published below picture of a hcarse,
the funeral announcement of the death
OF Russell A. Alger, and the suggestion
that his corpse be sent to the picking
vat at Ann Arbor. The gall of MIR. Full
lsr's election returns is only exceeded
by the brutality of his funeral notice.
1t is perhaps needless to say that there
will probably be vacancy in the state

THE Edmunds Anti-Polygamy law
proves to have a little potency. as Que
Polygamist has been tried and convict
ed under it and will no doubt be punish
ed in manner to make some impress
sion on the semi rebelJious Aormons.
The convicted polygamist has very
poor opinion of the Edmunds law, which
he declares is in conflict with the law of
God and the Constitution Of the United
States. The Mormons have all along
thought very slightingly Of Senator Ed
munds as constitutional lawyer.

The Bay City LumbsrmaR says a
number of thu largest log operators in
that section express determination to
curtail operations the coming winter,
and also says unless this determination
Is adhered to, there is little hope for a
change from the present depressed con-
dition of the lumber market. With the
amount of lumber on hand at present,
the logs already available will be near
ly sufficient to supply the lumber de-
mand next year, and the logs put in the
streams this winter will be mostly
surplus.

THERE are at present in circulation
throughout the country gold coins which
although not counterfeit are equally to
be repudiated by all to whom presented.
Their spurious nature consists In the
fact that they have been deprecated by
corrosive acids, and although gold, with
clear, genuine ring, each Of such coins
has lost from 20 to 30 per cent Of its val
ne and cannot be cashed at the banks
for their face. AS far as known, this de-
preciated currency Is in S. pieces. They
can be easily detected upon close Obser-
walton, being lighterIthan the standard
and more smooth over the surface.

GENERAL JOHN NEWTON, chief of en-
gineers. has submitted his annual re-
port to the Secretary Of War. He de-
clares that eur present system of pro-
tscting harbors Is entirely inadequate.
The guns on land, he says, should, at
least, equal the most powerful on sea.
General Newton explodss the arguments
Of those who imagine that by diplomat
ic delays war may be avsrted until prop
or preparations for defense can be made
This might be true IL we were situated
as some countries are, but in our present
condition, in his opinion, 1t would re-
quire great many years to get togsth-
or modern guns without reference to
constructing forts and batteries for
their reception,

HENRY CABOT LODGE was defeated for
Congress in the Sixth Massachusetts,
District by Mr.. Lowering, the present
Representative. He owes his defeat to
the mugwumps in Boston who claimed
to represent the "better element" of
Massachusetts, Republicans, and who
few months ago thought Mr.. Lodge the
personification Of all that was pure. and
upright in American politics, When he
came out squarely for Blaine, they show
ed their true spirit by knitting him. This
is the stuff the Independents are made
of.

Mercer township.
December 17th, 1888.


MEssRs. Eds:-In your issue of 18th
I noticed report of a school in this
township called the "The Whiteoak
Point School" There is no such
school in Mercer township. The school
referred to is the Gildersleeve school
1t is new building and after it's COM
pletion some two years ago, at a regu-
lar meeting of the Board of Directors
they named the sehool house "The
Gildcrsleeve School" " as lie lives near
it, and it is built on part of his farm,
the Directors having bought the land
from HIM when none others owning
land in suitable locality seemed will
ing to sell land to the Directors in fec
for that purpose. The attempt on the
part of some persons to arbitrarily
change the name looks like contempt
of the action of the Board who named
it, or spirit of envy either of which
does not appear to me as commend:
able.
Mr.. Gildersleeve is well known as
an educational and public spirited man,
fully worthy the honor conferred on
him by the Board ia naming the house
for him-by which name it has been
known. Besides, it is customary 10
call a school by the name OF the person
on whose farm it has been built, and
why so,sse persons who are not men,
bers of the BoeEd have tried to change
the name without any authority OF the
Board, / do not understand qrless for
the Eaasoas above mentioned and would
be glad if sone one who does under
stand would give reasons why it should
be changed from the name given it by
the Directors who built it,
