The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-01-04
A Definite Issue,

Cleveland has settled one thing by his
message; he has declared what shall be the
issue to be decided by the Presidential
campaign of 1888. Ii is to be the protect
i've system of the country-whether it is to
be maintained or broken down.
We give most hearty thanks TO the Presi-
dent trat lie has compelled the Democracy
to abandon their shifty, evasive attitude on
the tariff, and that he has boldly interpreted
the turgid, double reading plank of the
Democratic national platform Of 1884 to
mean reduction of the tariff on line
which will break down its protective
features and render it tariff for revenue
only. The Democratic party is to be con-
sistent in it's record. 1t is to continue to be
the enemy of the best interests of the peo-
Pile and of our nationality.
Hero is clear cut issue that must be
met, and met squarely, by the Republican
party. There must be no evasion of the
real point. The Republican party is planted
squareiy on the principle Of protection to
American industries, and can await the
shock of battle next November in the serene
con sciousness that the majority or the peo-
pie of the nation agree With it.
This act Of the President renders posi-
bic new alignment. 1t puts the principle
of protection on its trial before n Jury of
the American people. Al otner issues De-
come subordinate, and the campaign will
be fought ont on the tariff. The friends of
protection have nothing to fear, if they
make good use of their time to enlighten
the masses upon the question, and show
clearly that Cleveland position neces-
sarily means to reduce the stipend of every
man who earns his own living by the work
of his hands or of his bra n; that it means
n reduction all along the line-to every
body in the country who works for wages,
for hire, or for salary.
There are always, in every community, a
number OF people who are more or less
disconnected with existing conditions.
"Whatever is, is wrong" seems to be the
motto on which they act. They want
progress, and are unmindful of the fact
that mere change is not necessarily pro-
gress, but t nj it may be retrogressive just
as often. There are thousands of these
people in the United States to-day, who
are too Young to have &C ually experienced
the evils under W ich the country labored
in low tariff times, who favor the Presi-
dents free trade policy simply because il
is sopethinR new, something different.
This is one of the four classes OF people

trolled the behavior of this love of q
bonnet. that sat on the lady's dark
hair like duchess coronet. Down
the aisle, in company with solid and
sorrel-topped man, was green velvet
hat of the directoire shape, rather stiff
and awfully respectable. Some ostrich
feathers and slide of real diamonds
ornamented it's side. That hat was
worth $4,000 if it cost q cent, and it
was worn by Mrs. John Hoey, once the
leading actress of Wallack's Theater.
Her head represented lot of money,
for besides the brilliants on the buckle
of her hat she wore in her ears enormous
diamonds. A perfect little hat of crimson
berries and black lace was in an upper
box on the head of Mrs. Sanger, the
little vito of the manager, and beside
her, in brown bonnet. with bit of
velvet shade darker, was Mrs. Steele
Mackaye. Then there was a red felt
hat with garnet plume that set off the
light chestnut curls of Mrs. Docksta-
der, the minstre's wife, and in her COM
pany was charming hat worn by Mrs.
Babcock. made of three shades of

green velvet, overlapping leaves and
coming to point, something like the
matched roof of Robinson Crusoe's
hut. A generous bunch of snow
berries was its only ornament. 1t just
suited the piquant face of the wearer.
And these are only samples of the
head-gear my poor friend gazed at.
Like composite photograph, it must
have been q queer thing he took home
if he combined his "reminiscences and
placed them all into one bonnet for his
wife.
Bonnets actually imported from
Paris are palmer than heretofore. The
favorite form is the capote, and there
are no strings. These APPENDICES are
entirely ont of favor for full-dress bon
nets. Capotes, in white or scarlet, or
electric-blue cloth. with brims in black
velvet or black astrakhan, with black
velvet strings, are much in favor for
demi- toilets There is little change in
the shape of hats trimmed with feath-
ers. But one novelty has been intro
duced- being an odd corkscrew plume,
which is long ostrich feather, twisted
around and around half way up its
length, in the manner indicated by its
name. Small turban hats in pale

Homage to Ruddha.

In Anam the French conquerors have
found one custom which they have, in
some measure, fallen in with, since it
is 80 universal among the people that
it is almost impossible to get along with
them without some use OF it, This is
the custom of "Chin-Chin Buddha," or
homage to Buddha, which the Anam.
ties repeat in thousand forms.
Hanging upou the walls of their
rooms the French have panels of silk
ornamented with inscriptions which are
at once pious and decorative-pious
from the Anamites point of view, and
decorative from the frenchman's.
These panels are "Ohin- Chin Buddhas.
The term "Chin- Chin Buddha" means
"Hail, Buddhal" but it has come to be
applied not only to every sort of relig-
ious HOMAGE, but to personal homage
and politeness as well. All prayers,
obeisances, offerings, acts of ceremonial
Difference, and even of ordinary per-
sonal politeness, are accompanied with
the utterance of this phrase, "Chin-
Chin Buddha;" and objects which are
to be sacrificed, as well as decorate @
objects bearing pious inscriptions, bear
the same name.
When a French lady, the wife of a
commander, sailed up the Red River
to the town OF Hanoi, all the children
of the town came crowding to the
shore, clapping their hands and shout
ing, "Chin-Chin Duddha!'
The beggars in the streets utter
plaiutve cries OF "Chin Chin Buddha,
as they follow the passer-by, always
speaking the last name very reveren-
TALLY.
The French in nam have fallen into
the use of the term, and even use it In
their own relations. There is certainly
no formal expression in any European
language which has anything like so
wide use. -E.r hdnge.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-01-04

who will favor the breaking down of the
protective system. The other three are:
The importers and jobbers OF foreign
goods, whose business will be enormously
increased and their profits correspond
ingly enlarged-and all others 10 whom an
increase of imports would mean money
profit.
The men Of limited experience in actual
business, including professional men, the
orists, and dreamers, and q large number OF
other persons who are captivated by the
shcwy theories Of the Golden Club propa-
ganda, and adhere to free trade because
they know no better.
The mass of ignorant and unintelligent
voters which has always been the peculiar
property of the Democratic rarity, who know
nothing about the subject except what
demagogues and pot house politicians tell
them, aud who win vote for anything that
has the Democratic brand en- it.
OF course the last class is the most nu-
merous, though the third embraces very
large number. There are thousands of sin-
cere but mistaken voters who are now in
clined to vote with the Democrats on this
issue, because they do not understand il
clearly. Here is work to do which must be
done, and that promptly. The people must
be aroused to the actual danger that men,
aces us when the chief executive Of the
land devotes his entire message to this one
issue, and practically demands Of his party
friends in Congress that they shall put his
recommendation into the form of law.
Let no Republican waste one word upon
the Eastern mugwumps. They are free
traders, almost 10 the last man. Their feel
ing for Cleveland will now increase almost
to the point Of idolatry. They will vote as
he directs, and they are definitely lost to
the Republicans.
But the change in the situation gives us
the certainty of carrying New Jersey and
Connecticut on the tariff issue, and New
York also. The State, outside the city, is
strongly Republican and Protectionist.
Now let the hundred of thousands of wage
wagers in New York city and Brooklyn
have demonstrated to them clearly the fact
that the striking down of the tariff means
lower wages, less work, dull times, stagna-
ton, want and suffering, and the Empire
State will roll up a majority for protection
that will paralyze the President.
The Democrats claim that they will carry
the Northwest on the tariff issue. There is
not the slightest hope of that if the Repub-
licans of those States do their duty, and in
struct the farmers OF that section of the
real effects that will follow revenue reduce
ton. The prospects are bright for a
sweeping Republican victory on this issue.
The one thing necessary is to concentrate
the fight upon this one point, and "edge
the lines with fire. " Toledo Blade.

Colonel Robert G.. Ingersoll sat in a
