Our candidate is growing. He is de-
yelopng a versatility that may surprise
many in this section. He is one of
those earnest, Woodworking, broaden
ing men. who require the pressure of
extraordinary circumstances to deyelOpe
the full and easy play of trained facul-
ties that have been preparing for trying
emergencies. In his speeches. SO far.
there has been rare combination of
clearnesS of appreciation of the exactly
right thing to be said on each new oc-
caSiOn, with constant reference to the
fundamental principles that underlie
the campaign and subordinate all indi-
vidualities.
We are not at all afraid that he will
speak to much, OF "slop over. or make
mistakes. He is as level-headed "A
statesman as we have. He is Repub-
lican to the core. He is i'm contact with
the sentiL ents of the rank and file.
He unites the great qualities of SINGER
ity, earnestnesS. courage and common
sense. He represents thoroughly the old
Northwest, which gave us Lincoln and
Grant and Douglas and Morton and
Logan, and which is. TO day. the one see
ton most central and commanding in
its relations To the rest of the Union.
And he has, SO far, been the leader in

Why Such Ohanges2

From our exchanges received during
the present week we learn that hun
dreds OF Democrats in various parts of
the country have within a few days
come out for Harrison and Morton.
These conversions are to be added to
the long lists previously announced. 1t
ia noticeable, too. that large per cent
of these boiling Democrats are men of
prominence and influence who have
made the subject of the tariff a study
and who have become thoroughly con-
WINGED that the Democrat policy Is a
dangerous and perlicious one.
Among the converted, too, are many
labOring men who have hitherto voted
the Democrat ticket. They have moth
ing but labor TO sell and they object to
selling it at foreign prices. They are
getting comfortable homes of their own
and they object to being brought to that
condition where they cannot hold them
and add yeGrly to their comforts. They
know what foreign labor is. They know
that the WOrkingmen of England have
no homes; that they have no hope, that
their condition Is that OF a slave bound
out to work for just wages enough to
keep body and soul together.
In England the WOrklngmen who
were paupers 20 years ago are pauperS
to-day. In America thousands of work
ingmen who began pennileSs even 10
years ago are found to-day in comforta-
bic. cheerful homes of their own, and
many of them are capitalists who
are able to buy out their old employers
All this may not be due toprotection,
but much OF it certainly is. Protection
has protected American labor 1t has
insured ii against competition with for
eign cheap labor. 1t has encouraged
the diversity and growth of home in
dustries and these have multiplied the
demands for labor.
The intelligent workingmen of this
country know these things to be true,
hence they are deeply concerned in the
issue before the people. Hence the
hegira from the Detroit free trade party
to the Republican protection party.

Laboring men, farmers, every body,
there is an ubiquitous tariff on every
pound Of salt imported to this country
You don't have to pay it, because you
are using Michigan salt, but just think
of it, Protection has developed our
salt industry to such marvellous extent
that it affords employment 10 many
thousands of workmen and-well, how
is it? Does your salt cost too much?
How does the present price compare
with that You paid years ago before we
had protection; With free trade YOU
might for a year or so get foreign salt
a trine cheaper, but would it pay in the
long run to cripple our own salt indus
try; How long would it be after our
salt works were shut down before you
would be paying twice as much for for
eign salt as You are now paying for salt
manufactured right here in your own
state? Do little thinking.

The report also says that the Hors-
ford's contains the nutritious phosphates,
while all the cream tartar powders con-
tain tartrate of potassium and sodium,
and the alum powders contain hydrate
OF alumina, sodium sulphate, and
ammonium sulphate.
The idea of introducing the phos-
pilates into the food by means of bak-
ing powder was conceived by Prof.
Horsford, formerly Professor of Chem
istry in Harvard University, several
years ago, and if report be true, he has
not only been remarkably successful in
making such product, but also in sell.
ing it. tits well known that the phos-
pilates constitute practically the only
nutritious portion Of the wheat grain,
actual experience having shown that
wheat which had been deprived of its
phosphates would not sustain life. 1t is
also we'll known that in the process of
boiling our fine wheat flour nearly all of
the phosphates are lost in the bran, and
that, therefore, fine wheat flour alone
will not sustain life. Prof. Horsford's
idea was to restore these lost phosphates
in the form of baking powder. The
above report shows that he has not only
done this, but has also produced a
powder that is the strongest in the
market
