The part referring TO Loud was not
correct. The reporter has no love for
Loud, and he fixed that up to suit his
ideas"
"But the article generally is cor
rect?" we asked.
Eyes" said Mr.. Pack, "In general
it is correct. have sent a statement
to the Free Press which will give my
real views on some points"
Mr.. Pack made some further re-
marks regarding Mr.. Gibson's unfit
ness for the Office of Congressman.
The nomination of Gibson will not
receive the hearty support of Alpena
Republicans. We do not think there
will be universal bolt against him,
but we do think his nomination has
tended to seriously weaken the Re-
publican chances in this county, and
if the Democrats and Greenbackers
can unite tremendously on a candi-
date, Mr.. Gibson will not be allowed
to disgrace the Tenth Congressional
district by representing it in Con gress.

things-a furnished house, bed, table to
eat on, or chair to sit in. They are lux
uries, suppose. Well, now, i can tell
you, and everybody else who is inclined to
read this, that know one man who has
got TO vote against that tariff, and if wo-
men could vote know of woman who
would never let up until the whole thing
was swept away.
A CARPENTERS WIFE.
The statement of the carpenters
wife, as to the injury done the labor
ing men by the Republican protec-
tive tariff tax, is true. The Republi-
can party is pledged to keep up the
accursed system whereby monopolies
are fostered at the expense of the Ia
borer. The Democratic party is OPP
posed to tariff for protective purposes
only, and is pledged to do its best to
see that national taxes are levied only
for paying the expenses of the govern
ment economically administered

duction of your heavy taxation bur-

evidently stands no chance Of being
U. S. senator, and but very little
chance of being a member of Con-
gress, and yet it is the vote of the
laboring men that elects these Off
cials-either directly or indirectly.
If there is but very little chance for
poor man to get elected, it is the
fault of the voters, who are, nearly
all; laborers.
This fall the laborers will have
four presidential candidates to choose
from. Blaine, the Republican can
didate, is a reputed millionaire, and
so is Butler, the candidate of the
Butler party. Cleveland, candidate
of the Democratic party, is long
ways from being a rich man, and his
worldly possessions arc stated to be
not over $4,000. st. John, the Pro
hibition candidate, is, to the best of
our knowledge and belief, also poor
man. Now, what chance have poor
men like Cleveland and st. John
against millionaires and monopolists
like Blaine and Butler? This is a
conundrum that the ten or eleven
million laborers are to solve next
November We believe that the peo-
pie are getting tired of the corrupt
ing influence of money in politics,
and that they will declare for change
by clocting Cleveland for President.

How il Works.

A correspondent Of the Grand Rap
ids Democrat gives the following illus
tration of the workings of our present
tariff, and the way it benefits the la
boring man.
In 1873, a nobleman, visiting Amer
lea, in travelling from Atlantic to Pa
cifc, was much surprised at the high
prices paid for some articles. On his
return home he loads three ships,
starts for America to make his for
tune. On nearing New York he is
met by n revenue cutter the officer
boards his vessel and asks:
"What have you on board?"
"Boots, shoes, hats, caps, etc. | am
taking them to the western farmers.
l can sell them for half what they
now pay for them"
Before you can land them you
must pay the duty"
duty. What is that?"
"A tax on foreign goods coming in
to this country"
"Why this tax? Your laborers
are much in need of these things"
"The tax is to protect our manufac-
turers."
Il cannot pay it and sell my goods
any cheaper than they are now buy
ing"
"Then you must return. But what
have you in the other ship"
"Woolen goods, ready-made cloth
ing, etc, which | can sell very cheap.
Your people are much in need of
them. | saw many Of them wearing
cotton stockings, jeans, and cottonade
clothing during the cold weather of
last winter"

duty. We must protect our manu-
featuring interests"

"What have you in the other ship9
"One thousand cheap laborers,
which would be willing to work for
fifty cents day."
Bring them right along; no duty
on laborers they will be very glad to
have them over at the factory. They
just discharged l 900 Americans who
were OH a strike wanting dollar n
day."
"What. How is this, haven't you
several millions of laborers in your
country"
"Oh, yes, but we never make any
laws to protect them"

There you have it. More than one-ffth
of our money was taken away from us by
tariff taxation and transferred to the pock-
cts of manufacturers who have no more
right to tax me than have to tax them.
Every article named above is taxed by the
government from 20 to 80 per cent-even
the commoncst necessities of life. They
tell me that this tariff tax is levied to pro-
tect American workingmcn, but I notice
that my husband, who does not work for
any protected industry, says that he is
good deal better off as regards wages than
the men who work for the people who
make these very things. IL knew that
our S160 had gone into the pockets Of la
boring men | would not worry so much,
but don't believe they will ever get
cent of it. Their employers make them
work just as cheap as they can, and know
a lot of them who arc out Of work half the
time. Just think Of taxing cooking stove
or blanket, or Of putting on 10 per cent
on shovel. IL is the most outrageous
form of robbery, and the idea that il keeps
up wages is pretty thin. Most Of the work
ingmen that know are not fooled by the
claim that tariff keeps up wages, for their
wages are as low now as they can live on.
and then they are out Of work every little
while; but don't think they know gener-
ally that almost everything they buy, even
to miserable little chrome or majolica
pitcher, is taxed 20 or 30 per cent. sup
pose poor man has no right TO these

Two years ago the nomination was
promised to some man in the shore
counties, and acting on this promise,
two candidates were presented-H.
NJ. Loud, Of Iosco, and r. J. Kelley,
Of Alpena. When the convention
met, it was discovered that Bay coun-
ty did not propose TO live up to the
agreement, and what was still worse,
the man the Bay City ring had picked
upon was one who could not meet the
approval of honest Republicans. lie
was not representative Republican.
This led to protracted struggle.
r. j. Kelley was supported by Alpe-
ma, Montmorency and Presque Isle
counties, and received many votes
from other counties-at one time his
vote being rs high as fifteen. The
Alpena delegation were strongly in
favor Of Kelley, but, finding his NOM
ination was not possible, they offered
10 vote for Ben. Huston, or any man
who was worthy to represent the Re-
publican party Of the Tenth district.
They would not support Gibson. The
Bay ring refused, and finally got
their man nominated. The result is
much bitterness among the Republi-
cans here. In last Saturdays Free
Press there was published an inter-
view with Mr.. Pack, in which Mr..
Pack fully tells the situation and de-
clared that the nominee would not re-
ceived his support, and expressed his
belief that Gibson would be repudiat-
ed by the shore counties that Glib
sons nomination was won by treach-
cry and deceit; that Gibson was not
the unanimous choice Of the Bay
county Republicans. He says: "The
citizen is bound to protect himself
against such candidates, and no OBJ
legation of party faith should shield
n citizen from opposing with all his
power men grossly unqualified for
public Office and trust who have Sc
cured nominations by corrupt and inn
proper influences"
Mr.. Packs interview in the Free
Press was the cause of much excite
ment, and was the sensation of the
day among Alpena people. 1t is also
a fact that his remarks were generally
approved by the Republicans here.
Monday last, we asked Mr.. Pack il
the Free Press had reported him cor.
! rectly. lie replied; Not exactly,

The total vote cast by the Repub-

$685. sS, and Garfeld's majority
over Hancock was only 7,01S.
The votes to be cast for President
this fall will exceed 100000 but it
is believed will be under 100000.
The figures given in another article
will show where the great bulk of the
votes will come from--the laboring
classes.
