/. He selects the EVEN year of the Be.
gole administration when no expenses of
the Legislature and few appropriations
were paid, and compares that year with
the ODD years under the Algcr and Luce
administrations, when the people were
paying the expenses of the Legislature
and largely the appropriations made by
them.
Why did he not take egole's ODD year,
1883, when taxes were much higher than
in 1886 under Alger, and higher than they
will be in 1888 under Gov. Luce?

stead of county taxes; that while the State

In 1888 we had no Soldiers home, and
our disabled veterans were in the poor
houses of the State, and supported by the
counties; we had no Mining School or

our insane were being largely supported
by tax upon the counties.

say about this
Col A. 7. Bliss said in speech at the
Park Rink recently that he was opposed
10 the importation Of contract labor under
all circumstances, as antagonistic TO tbs
welfare of our own people, and he wac
specially opposed to Chinese labor, as he
knew from personal investigation of its
miserable competition and of its disgrace
on our American civilization. He was
for American labor and advancement first
and foremost, and for American prosper
ity as against the world.
We are often asked TO publish card of
thanks, expressing gratitude for assistance
rendered by friends and neighbors during
sickness that results in death. People
seem 10 forget that the obligation is Just
as great when the object OF care and atten.
ton r.covers, and a card Of thanks IS
never thought OF then. Another fact
which is still more important that is over
looked by families who have received fav-
ors, is that no matter how much assistance
may he rendered by friends In time Of dis
trcss, II is no more than an human act
and The Christian duty of every person.
Do not waste your time in writing nn

In recent speech at Corunna, Col. A.
T. Bliss told where he stands on the tariff
issue: He is in favor of protecting
America for Americans. and was utterly
opposed to the opening Of the American
market to foreign manufacturers. He
charged that Grover Cleveland was CON-
pelled by the South in his free trade policy
and that the blow aimed ut American in.
dustries and labor was specially designed
TO strike down the interests of the rapidly
expanding North. Such policy was
not only sectional and unjustiflable, but
un-American."
