Union for st. Paul and Minneapolis.

A large and enthusiastic meeting was
held at the rooms Of the chamber of CON-
MERGE IN St. Paul last Thursday looking
to the union of the two cities. The meet
ing was composed of representative men
from both cities and the determination for
a closer union was universal. One name
and one city government were declared to
be steps for the future, and preparation
for those steps should be immediately
taken. The advantages of union of the
two great northwestern cities are getting
so apparent that it must come soon.
Another meeting will be held at the board
of trade rooms in Minneapolis on the
first Monday IN March.

Who For President +?
From the Detroit Tribune.
Gen. Alper is the man

L
Gen. Alger is the man.
Why?
For several good reasons.
I. He is true Republican in the
highest and broadcast sense.
2. He is able, honest, firm, and
has private and public record tina
cannot be assailed from any source
or standpoint.
3. He stands today as the first rep
resentative of the American VOLUNTEERS
soldiery-a worthy successor to the
late JOHN A. LOGAN.
a. He halls from a state that. was
very close in 1884,
s. He is absolutely without any
antagonisms in his own party, popu
lar among the friends of all othel
candidates; strong in the affections oil
the party every where,
6. He is much more likely to
carry the doubtful" Northern state.
than any candidate who encounters
opposition in his own party.
7. He would be stronger in New
York than any candidate who is be.
ing pushed for the Presidency, be-
cause he would have the solid sup
port of all factions of the Republican
party.
8. He would get more votes in
Indiana than either HARRISON or
GRESHAM, because he would get the
solid support of both those factions,
now so earnestly contending against
each other.
9. No other candidate named would
be stronger than ALcER in Connec.
ticut or New Jersey. He would re
ceive the solid support of the
Republicans in those states and draw
heavily on the soldier vote independ
eat of party politics.
10. lie would be strong with the
masses everywhere because of his
intense loyalty to his country, his
keen sympathy with the patriotic
toilers who have developed its mar.
velous resources, his constant and
generous benefactions to the poor,
his sincerity of purpose in every act
Of his life and his patriotic devotion
to every cause calculated to benefit
and bless mankind.
With heart as tender as a
woman's, with the frmness of a
GRANT, with the noble impulses of a
LINCOLN, broad, brainy and balanced
that is Gen. ALGER.
Make him the Republican standard
bearer and the Republican hosts will
surely march on to triumphant VIC
tory. The times, the circumstances
demand such a man. Michigan
meets the demand and asks the Nat
ional Republican convention to be
wise and accept the offer.

fit the manufacturing aintreest, but
the wool growers of America would
demand free woolens with free woods,
for good sauce for the goose would
be equally good for the gander, to
use common expression, and this
would result in general closing of
WOODEN mills and carper mills and a
prostration of business from ocean
to ocean There are several worsted
mills closed already because they can
not compete with the cheap factory
abor goods of Europe under the
Treasury rulings of inexperienced
political judges, who have ruled that
worsteds are not composed of wool.
This is on par with the rulings of
ring wastes drawn from the finest
stock known in commerce. Under
rulings of this sort from the Treasury
Department, It needs no prophet to
tell where we are drifting, with
the best wing of the party now
in power entirely ignored. The
upshot Of all this political Matching
for place and position is check TO
business in every form throughout the
land.
Our population is increasing, but
trade does not increase in similsr
ratio, and go where we will we meet
with discomfort, inasmuch as trade |
in all its ramifications is dull and de.
pressed, with heavy expences and
taxes eating into capital, and in no
branch is it so discernable as in the
wool and wool-growing industry,
conformity with worsted and wooden |
and carpet manufacturing, aye, and
knit goods too."

The chairman of the Ways and

for dollar day, and then went to
buy suit of clothes for $lo. He
finds he could have bought it for $40
but that the robber manufacturer had
been down to Congress and had 100
per cent put upon the suit, and he
has to go back for ten days more of
toll and the use of his muscles to earn
the extra $40 with which to buy the
suit of clothes. A gentleman who
heard that speech sends me suit of
clothes. Here il is, robber, taxes
and all, and the retail cost is just $40
So the poor fellow does not have to
go back for ten days more toll after
all. In order to be sure of the goods

the gentleman from Massachusetts,,
Congressman Leopold Morse. II
was stated in the Presidents message
in fact, it was the chief corner
stone of the message--that wooden
goods were enhanced in value 100
per cent by the tariff, so that work
ing man when he went to purchase a
$40 suit of clothing was compelled
to pay $40 for it. Mr.. Mckinley, Of
Ohio, in his speech denied this, and
in response to the interruption of Mr..
Morse shat they did not buy of
him." Mr.. Mckinley purchased a
$io suit of clothes, and said:
"If they had bought of the gentle
man from the Massachusetts it
wouldn't have made any difference.

goods (producing suit Of clothes).

What Is the Matter with Husinsss7

The u. S. Economist, a paper de-
voted to trade and the manufacturing
interests, and for a quarter Of cen
tury a teacher of the beauties of free
trade, has turned completely around
since it has seen the effects of even
a proposition to change the law re-
gulating the importation of products
to free trade basis. In its last issue
in commenting upon the outlook for
wool and wooden goods, its editor
says:
"T'he markets throughout the broad
continent are devoid of animation
and to effect sales of moment, low
er scale of prices has to be accepted
than is known to the memory of
the Oldest inhabitant connected
with the wool trade. For the past
two years there has been known loss
es of $2a, 900, 900 to the wool interest,
and what the unknown losses are no
man can reckon correctly. This
year there will be loss of six cents
pound on 34o,ooo,ooo, equal to
close on twenty and one half millions
of dollars. If we keep on at this ratio

yawns for their destruction.
The silver question is the vital one
which enters the marrow bone of the
nation and causes bad cancer which

next issue is the tariff agitation, and
backed by two great forces, the adj
ministration party leading off to level
everything to its own theoretical
way of thinking and permitting all
kinds of merchandise to enter the
ports at under valuation. The Pres
ident assures the people that they
need little free trade physic to re.
store them to good health, because

eral were for pensions to Michigan's
