Free Trade VS.. Protection.

The theory of free trade or low tariff is
very magnanimous one to talk about, says the
Rockland Free Press; so was our former no.
ton about this Republic opening its wide arms
to receive the surplus and outcasts of all the
nations of the earth. But the application of
these doctrines is found not to work satisfac-
torily. We cannot allow the Mongolans to
come down on the Pacific slope like cloud Of
locusts on field of wheat. Neither after be-
ing >chooed in the lessons of free trade all his
life can the Democratic farmer of Maine con-
sent that hay. oats and potatoes from Canada
Shall be permitted to come into the United
States duty-frcc. reducing the prices of our do
me>tic products twenty-five or thirty per cent.
The manufacturer of lime is in the same boat.
The little duty of ten per cent. is not enough,
and every Democratic as well as Republican
manufacturer would gladly see it increased to
twenty. Mr.. Morrison, could he have had his
way would have wiped all the duty off. This
isn't what our people want. They hold, and
are wise in doing so, that the first duty of
Americans is to take care of their own indus
tries and their own people, and to protect them
by tariffs, on the Republican plan.
said smith VI. Weed to New York Tribune
representative: ''Some of the arguments made
III the House in trying to take up Mr.. Morri-
sons measure have seemed to me SO utterly
foolish and absurd that | could hardly make
myself believe that they had been seriously
offered by any man. This Kentucky man,
Breckenridge. for instance, said that there are IA
million men out Of work in this country who
would be set to work Immediately by let
ting in foreign manufactured goods free of
duty. Just how the letting in of these goods,
which would stop work in all the factories in
this country could set at work this million men.

would be set to work digging roots for food
and cutting SasSafra> bark for tea. That is the
way free trade would catch the workman in
this country
The article from the Boston Herald on Ship
Building in England, published or the first
page contains some interesting information,
but is tainted with the free ship heresies of
that organ of British industries. The present
surplus Of tonnage in Great Britain is no doubt
partly owing to the large number of vessels
built with the expectation that Congress would
pass free ship bill ana thus open market in
this country Americans prefer. however. to
build their own ships, and will do so despite
the efforts of the present Administration to
crush our >hipbuilders as in the case of John
Roach.

For Governor.

The name of Hon. Cyrus G.. Luce
is almost as familiar 10 the people of
Michigan, generally, as household
names, and is everywhere a synonym
Of honesty, ability and stern fidelity
to duty under all circumstances, and
he needs no introduction to our read
ers; and yet, we are pleased to re-
print from the Coldwater Courier the
following brief biographical notice of
Michigan's next Governor:
Hon. Cyrus G. Luce, Republican
nominee for Governor, was born at
Windsor, Ashtabula, Co, Ohio, July
2, 1924. With his father he moved
to Sieuben Co, Ind, in the fall of
SO; he moved to Michigan in August,
1870, and settled on the same farm
upon which he still resides, which he
took in a state of nature. He has
been supervisor Of his town twelve
years. In 1854 he was elected men,
Der of the first legislature in Mich.
gan that was Republican in politics. In
1858 and 60 he was elected TO the
Office of County Treasurer; in 1864
and 60 was elected TO State Senate;
in '67 was member of the Constitu-
tional convention; in '7o he was APP.
pointed State Oil Inspector, which he
held for over three years. Out of
the monies collected from the fees
during his Office as Oil Inspector he
paid into the State Treasury $4,000.
For the last ten years he has been an
active member of the Grange, speak
ing at their meetings all over the
State, and for six years he has been
Master Of the State Grange and has
represented that organization in all
its national conventions. AS a citi.
zen, friend and neighbor, no man
could be mere universally respected
and esteemed, and with his reputation
for honesty, good practical common
sense and all the elements of charac-
ter which go to make man, Cyrus
G.. Luce stands pre- eminent.
Mr.. Luce's popularity throughout
the State is remarkable. But few
men are better acquainted or more
familiar with its wants, and in the
event Of his election, OF which there
is no doubt, the people Of Michigan
can depend upon an honest and
economical administration.

The Minority Report.

Herewith we place before our read
ers the report of the minority Of the
committee on resolutions at the State
convention. We think the wording
more concise than. in the report
adopted. But as a fact there is SUI
stantially no difference in the sen,i-
ment. Both are Outspoken on this
important question The editor Of
THE TINES voted, as did some others
of the Shiawassee county delegates,
for the adoption of the minority re-
port, and yet We are frank TO say that
we do not see where any fault can be
found with the platform adopted.
The minority report was submitted
by Hon. Geo. A. Farr, of Grand
Haven, was signed by three members
of the committee and read as follows:
I. That we believe that the Repub
lican party is the only true temper
ance party through which all legisla.
ton favoring temperance must be
obtained.
=. That the vast majority Of that
party deplOres the existence of the
evil of the LIQUOR traffic and hope for
its ultimate extinction.
3. That the mass of that party de-
mand from us a clear and distinct
DECLARATION Of our position on that
question, therefore we submit the fol.
lowing as the temperance plank In
our platforms;
ResOhUea, That the Republican
party is in favor of the ultimate sup
preston of The liquor traffic, and
hereby 'reaffirms its doctrine Of SUBJ
mission as incorporated in the plat
forms of 1882 and 1884.
