OUR MICHIGAN LETTER,

To Me Eoito,. of The Ne,os:
 Amidst the floods, fires and strikes which have prevailed in the south and southwestern portions of our country. and the snows and blizzards to the north and west of us, we are glad to announce that Southwestern Michigan has escap- cd all these calamities, and is enjoying pleasant spring weather with dusty roads, the farmers busy in their blowing and preparing for spring crops.
 Corn planting will commence here by the 1st of May, which is the usual time. Only the southern or Hoosier variety of corn is raised, which requires longer time to mature than the small or Yankee corn which is grown in New England. Wheat has come through the winter we'll, and present indications are favor able for good crop; but it Is good while before harvest, and many things are liable to happen to blast the hope E of tho farmers. Fruit trees and grape vines are locking we'll and promise sn abundant yield. On the whole we have passed the winter all right, and though the spring is little backward, we look forward with bright hopes for an abund ant season.
 The annual township and municipa elections occur here on the first Monday in April, and have passed of in thu usual manner; the country is safe fo another twelve months, and the victor will take the spells.

The above is the official vote. taken from the Little Rock Gazette.
 Although not much over half vote was boiled, DcRae's plurality over Ray is 4 730; over Hit, 6,566; majority over both Ray aud Hit, 2,697.
 As we predicted would be the case, Hit was hardly known in the race. In two counties he re, ceived only three votes, in Ashley not a single vote, and did not carry a county. Ray only carried two counties, Hempstead and Lafay cite.
 Had there been full vote McRae's majority would not have been less than four or five thous and over both of his opponents.
 So, it seems the Wheeiers who farm with their mouths, in this district as elsewhere in the State have made an ignoble failure. The honest yeomanry of the district very properly stood square up for Tom McRae,

these strikes to lcSc from three to five dollars on every bale of cotton marketed, and reckoning the crop at six million bales per year they have lost the immense sum of S24000.000 every year for several years past. The merchants buying cotton and paying the highest mar ket prices have also lost very hea- willy, say half as much more. This is only figuring on one crop. What would it run mp to if taken on all l, and our mineral products also :? The Lord only knows.
 We'll, some will inquire what causes strikes. This we cannot answer. In some places one thing causes them and in others another; grinding monopolies, discontented labor wrought upon by agi,ators, the greenback folly, etc, etc.
 Strikes should very seldom if ev be resorted to by the laborine class: we are now fully satisfied O this. IL is with pleasure we note the decrease in the number oI strikes at this time and also tha cotton is aocordin gly increasing il nricp

THE EFFECTS OF STRIKES.
Millions of Dollars Lost that Might
 Have Been Saved.

During the past four years hun. dreds of strikes have occurred in many of the States, in manufactur ing and almost all other kinds ot enterprises.
 It is reliably stated that not one time in twenty have the strikers gained the object for which they struck. So, then, besides losing millions of dollars in wages lost while idle, they have been obliged to resume work on same terms as before striking,
 In the strike on the Gould Southwest system of railroads, III May, 1885, the laborers lost mil lions of dollars and gained abso- lutely nothing. We give this in stance, familiar to all our readers to illustrate and prove what we say.
 Nearly all cotton manufacturing companies have suffered from strikes, all over the country, even in the South. and millions upon millions of dollars have not only been lost to the labOrers employed by them, las we'll as the compa nies themselves) but also to every body else in the country.
 Now for the juice in this cocoa nut or rather subject The stop page of manufacturing has necessa rily depressed the material used ill manufacturing the marketable commodity and at the same time increased the price of the latter be- cause of scarcity. Who can sue cessfully deny this? Especially has this been the case with cotton and cotton goods. While the price of cotton has been steadily declin- ing aud very low for several years, cotton goods has bean advancing in price for some time. Eastern merchants say that this is caused by scarcity Because of the stop. page of cotton manufacturing en. terpri5es by strikes, and it is a req sonahle assumption. Farmers have been compelled, then, by
