speaks of the tramp question thus : We have
no tenderness for the vicious or indolent
tramp, who will not work, but will steal but
we will need peach pickers and a great many
OF them. They are often our very best or
chard help. Therefore,
ResolVed, That the indiscriminate arrest
of tramps or peach plucks by an officer IS
likely to prove very serious obstacle in the
way of picking tile large crop of peaches now
in prospect. We must have this addition to
our labor force in the peach season if the
crop is to be marketed

A HIGHLY respected old gentleman of
this township said to the NoRTHERNER
the other day that it was not true that
the democratic party favored free wool,
that we never saw democrat who
favored any such thing, that no demo
crat ever voted for such thing and
that any such assertion was slur on
the democratic party. We had sup
posed that President CLEVELAND ex-
pressed himself in favor of free wool
and that he was democrat, and we
had supposed that every democratic
representative in congress, with the ex-
ception of RANDALL and two or three
of his followers, voted for free wool
when they passed the MILLS bill. The
NoRTHERNER is glad to be set right in
this matter and freely acknowledges
that, if the old gentleman was right
then it was wrong. Its authority for
the statement that the democratic party
favored free wool was the presidents
message and the Detroit Free Press
which congratulates the democratic
party on the passage of the MILLS bill
containing clause removing the duty
on wool The NoRTHERNER thinks its
old democratic friend must certainly
have been laboring under mistake
when he said the democratic party did
not favor free wool.
