Tho Nomination..

We need not say to the readers of the
NoRTHERNER that Hon. Jas. G.. Blaine was
not our first choice as candidate for the
Presidency, nevertheless, there can be no
question but the convention, by placing him
at the head OF the ticket voiced the wishes
of large majority of the republican party.
And there is as little question that with him
as the leader of the party, the campaign will
he vigorous one. Good soldiers always
fight under the direction and leadership of
their commander, and the NoRTHERNER pro-
poses to be a good soldier" in the ranks of
the republican party, and will do all that lies
in its power to support the ticket and in the
election of the candidates of the party 1t is
aprivilege which all enjoy, to advocate whom
they please prior to the nominations, but af-
Ter the choice of the party has been expressed
by its representatives in convention assem-
bled, all good republicans will lay aside per-
sonal opinions and preferences, and work
together in harmony for the success of the
ticket.
Mr.. Blaine is no "dark horse" and no one
will have TO ask "Who is Blaine?" His pre-
eminent ability is known and recognized
everywhere by members of all parties. AS a
gentleman, scholar, an orator and states.
man, he has few equals either in this nation
or in any other.
The candidate for Vice President, that
gallant soldier, who never lost battle, that
eminent statesman, John A. Logan, needs
no words of commentator before the Amer
lean people.
Blaine and Logan is q strong combina-

Total, 6 states


The nomination of Mr.. Blaine has taken
California, Nevada, and Ohio out of the list
of doubtful states and transferred them to
the republican column, making the reason
ably sure republican electoral vote 1sS, in
stead of 154. To secure success at least Is
votes must be obtained from the remaining
states classified as doubtful. These may be
obtained either from New York alone, sc
votes, from Indiana and New Jersey, "a
votes, or from Indiana alone, II votes.
Should the republicans carry Indiana and
New Jersey, and we think they will, or In
diana alone, they can succeed without New
York, and if they carry New York, they are
sure of success without either of the other
doubtful states. Besides this. there is o
fighting chance for them in West Virginia
and North Carolina. With free ballot and a
fair count they would not only secure the
electoral vote of these two southern states,
but that of several others. The outlook is
certainly very favorable for the election of
the republican candidates, and restoration
of congress to the full control of the repub-
lican party.

LAwToN, MIoH., May III, 81.
EDITOR TRUE NoRTHERNER:
In your issue of May Goth you say ''sup-
pose this country imports 100000 pounds
of wool each year at an average cost of 1924, >
100000, what have we to show for 1t? What
is left in the country az result of the trans
action? Simply the 70,0O0,o00 pounds of
wool or the goods that may be manufactured
therefrom, while the $2f,500,000, the cost of
such imported wool. has left our own coun-
try and become the property of the nation
importing such wool"
Now, suppose the editor of the NORTHERN
Err had $2sOO0,000 and he wanted to pur-
chase 100000 pounds of wool, and he
could buy it in Paw Paw for 40 cents per
pound, but party in London agrees to lay
it down to you in Paw Paw if you will re-
move the tariff for 30 cents per pound. Con-
gress removes the duty and you get the wool
for 1924, 100000. You are richer to the
amount of $3,500,000. You say the country
is richer if you buy the wool i'll Paw Paw at
40 cents. l say not. The Paw Paw man
has still got his 100000 pounds of wool
with $28,000,000 and the editor of the Nor
rHERNER has 100000 pounds worth $685.
100000 and has got S3,500,000 left Your
combined wealth in the outset was 500, 00O,-
y
is Just that much richer, of course.
1t is queer argument that it makes you
poor to buy cheap and makes you rich to
buy dear.
Few people are benefited by a protective
tariff. The farmer receives about five cents
per pound from the tariff on wool, but pays
ten times as much as he receives in taxes on
what he buys.
If we have got TO have a protective tariff
why not have one that will benefit the la
boring man as well as the manufacturer
Under the present system it is all loss anG
no gain to the laborer.
The trouble is, foreign markets are toe
near us. If the Atlantic ocean had beer
wide enough we wouldn't have needed any
protective tariff.
High tariff men have always been telling
US poor devils that we were protected agains
the pauper labor of Europe, but have never
heard of tax on immigration, and / would
suggest that if we are to have share of the
swag, Congress shall pass law that every
vessel plying between any foreign port ant
any port of the United States shall make the
trip via China. Then immigration will pay
its share of the tax, and tce will be protected
little
Now, Mr. Editor, have just one wore
more 10 say. If you can't do anything fol
us, for Gods sake don't insult us by telling
US we are being benefited when we are taxed
on almost everything we buy, and foreign
immigrants are coming here by the ship Load
every day TO take our places.
Respectfully yours.

We have given space to the above letter,
not because we are at al convinced by the
structures made by Mr.. w. in reference to
the extract from our columns, above quoted
by him, but simply because we were willing
he should have hearing.
If, as our correspondent thinks, it is econ
omy to purchase 100000 pounds of WOO
in London, it follows logically that it would
be still more profitable to purchase our en-.
tire supply there, and so wipe out our WOO
industry entirely.
We wish to say however, that nothing can
be farther from our mind when discussing
the tariff question than to Insult any class OF
our readers. We aim to express our views
fairly, cheerfully according to others the
privilege of disagreeing with us, if they dc
not see the matter as we do.

No 20 per cent. has yet been imposed upon
our stock OF cheap goods. They were bought
as cheap as cash will buy, and are offered to
cash purchasers upon the same terms.

to enumerate articles, quality, style,
or prices, but suffice it to say, our stock of
Ready-mad Clothing never has been better

DUTY and PIeasure,,

Prompted Rev. II. f. White of Greenville,
N. Y, to write that "in eight hours after his
wife began TO take ATHLoPHoRos for an at
tack of infammatory rheumatism, she sur
prised all by walking from room to room,
comparatively free from pain" The "Spe-
cifc Cure" as Mr.. White calls 1t, went di-
rectly to diseased parts, reduced the infam
nation, assuaged the pain, and worked a
rapid cure, as II invariably does.

aUaRAH foR THE NAN wHopars



Texaz Siftings.
There are men of brains who count tlieil
gains
BY the million dollars or more;
They buy and sell, and really do well
On the money of the poors =
They manage 10 get quite deep in debt
BY various crooked ways
And SO we say that the man to-day,
Is the honest man who pays
When in the town he never sneafSs down
Some alley or way-back street
With head erect he will never defiect,
But boldly each man will meet.
He counts the cost before he is lost
In debts mysterious maze,
And he never buys in a manner unwise,
But calls for his bill and pays.
There's certain air of debonnair
In the man who buys for cash:
He is not afraid of being betrayed
By the jack-leg shysteT's dash.
What he says TO you he will certainly do.
= If its cash or thirty days:
And when he goes out, the clerks Will shout
Hurrah for the man who pays!

before long. committee hos charge OF the
details, but think his coming is a settled
fact"
Have you any personal acquaintance with
Mr. Moody, Dootor%'
"Oh, yes I know him we'll and value him
highly. His work has been something almost
unparalleled In religious annals. When was
in loudon last summer ! found that he had
left q strong impression behind him.
when did you first meet Mr.. Moody
when was pastor of the Plymouth church
at Chicago, MIR, Moody was a member Of that
communion, and ] believe he has never re-
newed his connection. Ho was, however,
identified more particularly with the Young
Mems Christian association and similar reli-
glous enterprises. He was at that tine clerk
In n Chicago shoe store, and spent most of his
spare time IN speaking before sabbath schools
and religious meetings. Tho secret OF his sue
cess seems to be his brusquc, straightforward
business method. His entire education has
been acquired in his work. He is very ro-
