The Platform.

THERE is a marked and striking difference
between the republican platform and those
of their fusion opponents. The resolutions
adopted by the republican party are plain
pronounced and understandable; those of the
democracy are vague, non-committal and
contradictory, while those of the greenback-
ers are ungrammatical, meaningless and
demagogic. The republicans of Michigan
declare squarely and Enthusiastically in favor
of protection to American industries, and
select as their standard bearer one of the
Michigan's ablest advocates of that doctrine
On the currency question the platform de-
clares in favor of an interconvertible cur
rency of gold, silver and paper.
No party has a better right than the re-
of the laboring man. 1t has a record ex-
tending over quarter of q century, abound
ing with legislation in favor of labor and,
as the people had right to expect, the
platform gives forth no uncertain sound up
on this question, but declares most emphat-
ically in favor of legislation, both National
and state, for the improvement of both the
social and material welfare of the industrial
population of the country.
The temperance plank reiterates the doc
trine of the party that when any considerable
portion of the people desire a change in the
constitution, the question of such change
should be submitted to the voters of the
state, and demands the rigid enforcement of
the present laws for the regulation and
suppression of the traffic in intoxicating
beverages.
The party also declares opposition to
allowing nonresident foreigners to acquire
title to any portion of the government do
main; favors the granting of liberal pensions
to soldiers of the late war; denounces the
pension vetoes and especially condemns the
coarse and insolent language in which such
vetoes were expressed, and protests against
the removal of disabled union soldiers TO
make room for partisan civilians and ex-
confederates.
1t opposes extortion by common carriers
and favors National legislation for the regu-
lation of interstate commerce, and an

In his eloquent address before the conven-
ton withdrawing the name of Major NEWELL
as candidate for governor, Mr.. L. ID. AITKIN
of Flint, is reported to have said that the
county of Genesee rolls up the banner re-
publican majority of the state. Genesee is
a grand old republican county, but is not
entitled to the honor claimed, as the figures
show. AT the election of 1884, that county
gave BLAINE plurality of GIL votes, while
Van Buren, County piled up plurality of
1926. But even Van Buren, cannot lay claim
to the pennant; she only advertises her
self as the banner republican county of the
Lower Peninsula, position which she will
struggle to maintain. To the County of
Marquette, belongs the chief honor, she hav-
ing given a republican plurality of 1889
votes. Long may she continue in well
doing.

Yaple'S Platitudes.

The speech printed in the Congressional
Record as having been delivered by the dem
ocratic nominee for governor, while he mis-
represented the fourth congressional district
of Michigan, in congress, is string of " say
ings and sentences" dovetailed together as a
speech, without point, illogical and fiat. 1t
is very much such an address as q budding
sophomore in college would be expected to
get off, if turned loose upon a patient and
suffering crowd gathered in country school
house at some rural four corners. Those
who dissent from this estimate of Mr..
YAPLE's oratory should read the following
selections and draw their own conclusions:
"Mr. Chairman, am opposed to protect
i've tariff, because it protects the wrong man."
at is simply tax on the exchange of goods.
Exchange is the source of all life and
aoedlth." Exchange is benefit to all part
les concerned" "Revenue is derived on the
foreign goods that come to our shores.
protection is secured only as foreign goods
are kept out" Protection therefore begins
just where revenue ends" "The govern
ment gains only as it secures revenue, now
the question is, who gains by protection?"
independence of commerce is the indie
pendence of the savage" "Trade is simply
trade, whether between nations or individual
men," ain a certain sense there is no such
thing as trade between nations, it is all be-
tween individual men," Foreign commerce
rests upon precisely the same ground as
domestic commerce.. "All commerce rests
upon the inequalities existing among men
and nations. There is an endless variety
in nature. Mature rebukes the doctrine
that one nation should be independent of
commerce with other nations. " "Deprive a
man of the benefits of commerce with other
men and you convert his life into a barren
desert" "A protective tariff is simply an
mighty" 1.-The Almighty is free-trader.
"The world is one vast field of industry"
each nation is market, for whose trade
every other nation is striving" 1.-The pres
ence of universal competition reduces the
prices of products. England sends her
products here to make profits, not losses, I"
and so on through fifteen or twenty columns.
He seems to have Cleaned in various fields
for ready-made sentences, and to have woven
them together for speech. He says one thing,
however, if none other, that is original, viz: l
Uoted against tie restoration Of tie tariff on
ao0ol, because l am opposed to increasing the
tariff on any article" Perhaps this also found
birth in his fertile brain, viz: Protection
further diminishes the profits of the farmer
by increasing the cost of transporting his
products from the field to the market" as
that idea could hardly have occurred to the
human mind before, nor since, we venture to
add.

Political prohibitionists, from Michigan
to Maine, declare their desire and intention
to defeat the republican party, if possible.
When, where and under what circumstances
have they ever declared their intention to
assist in the overthrow of the democratic
party? Nowhere. The democratic party is
the avowed enemy of prohibition, while the
republican party has given constitutional
prohibition or prohibitory statutes to several
states, and is avowedly in favor of tenn
perance legislation everywhere. And yet
political prohibitionists throughout the
country seek to overthrow the republican
party and enthrone the democratic How
consistent. Wherever the democratic party
has the courage of its convictions and dares
express itself on the question, it declares
bitter opposition to the doctrine of prohbi-
ton. Witness the following extract from
the platform adopted the other day by the
Illinois democratic state convention:
That while we have no purpose to interfere
with just laws for the regulation of the traffic in
intoxicating liquors and for the prevention
or correction of the evils TO society growing
out of abuses in their sale, we declare that it
is not the legitimate province of governments
to control the habits, tastes and appetites of
the people so long as they are orderly and
peaceable and do not encroach upon the
rights of others or of society. We therefore
declare that the prohibition by constitution
or by general laws of the manufacture or
sale of vinous, malt, or spirituous liquors
would be in violation of individual and per
sonal rights and contrary to the fundamental
principles of free government.

Mr.. YAPLE says, ''the policy of the repub-
lican party is treason to the republic" The
history of the four years from 1861 to 1865
the period in which traitors did most
abound-gives the lie to Mr.. YAPLE's state
ment. That was the only time, since the
foundation of this government, when red
handed traitors, with fire and sword. at
tempted TO destroy the Nation. And yet.
strange as it may appear, every one of the
hundreds of thousands of traitors who were
engaged in that unholy attempt, was dem
ocrat. Not single republican could be
found among them. All democrats in those
days, thank God, were not traitors the great
mass of northern democrats were patriots,
but, nevertheless, the fact remains that all
traitors were democrats. 1t i'll becomes Mr..
YAPLE to talk about treason in connection
with the republican party. 1t is not party
of treason and never has been. The ranks
of traitors were never recruited from the
party of LINCOLN GRANT and G FAIRFIELD. How
was it with that party of which Mr.. YAPLE
is now one of the standard bearers, the party
of traitor DAVIS, thief FLOYD, pirate SEMMEs,
butcher FORREST. eft. al?

Honor TO whom Honor is Due.

Our fellow townsmen, Mr.. Joseph Davey
and Mr.. G.. II. Cookbook, were authorized by
the village board, last spring, TO build a new
engine house for the village-they being the
lowest bidders.
They drew up plans and specifications,
which were accepted by the board and, on
account of the known probity of these gentle
men and their ability to perform any under
taking in their line of business. no bond or
contract for a specific performance on their
part was deemed necessary; therefore none
was required of them. The structure is now
complete and accepted by the building COM
mittee and, if there is any doubt on the part
of anyone "a to the material used, or the
way in which the work has been done, a
careful and scrutinizing inspection is invited.
We pronounce it splendid structure from
foundation to roof one which will stand for
years to come as an enduring monument to
the integrity of these men as builders.
Not one cent over the stipulated price has
been asked for by them, although they have
done considerable extra work. Under the
circumstances we deem this acknowledgment
due them.

amendment Of the patent laws In the inter-
est of owners and users of patented articles;
demands the suppression of polygamy by
civil authority if possible, by the military II
necessary.
1t expresses sympathy with the oppressed
of all nations and especially with the down.
trodden, struggling sons of Erin, and with
the cause that has been so ably espoused and
advocated by PARNELL and "the grand old
man." GLADSTONE.
1t commends the republican administra-
of state affairs, and condemns the partisan
ship of the democracy in congress, especially
in its refusal to admit Dakota into the Union.
In conclusion the platform charges the
democracy with the reputation of Its
pledges made to the people; alleges that
offices, not principles, control the fusion
party of Michigan; condemns the democratic
party for opposing safeguards to the ballot,
for intimidation and fraud at elections, for
broken promises and for using the patronage
of the government to maintain its supremacy.
There is no subterfuge anywhere at
tempted in this declaration of principles, but
in all respects it is clear, plain, outspoken.
Indeed it is just such declaration as would
be expected from a party that is dominated by
ideas, and governed by principle instead of,
like its fusion antagonists, being animated
by desire for the spoils. With such plat
form, and with the clean, strong and unex-
ceptionable ticket that has been placed be-
fore the people for their suffrages, it may be
reasonably expected that Michigan will roll
up one of its old time republican majorities,
and that she will administer singing re-
Duke to the plotters who are ready, willing
and anxious to sacrifice all honor, principle
and manhood if, by so doing, they may
possibly succeed in winning the victory.
