Fisher at the Opera House

One of the largest Democratic
gatherings ever held in this city was
at the Opera House Thursday night
last-the Opera House being crowded
and many we're obliged to stand.
The first speakers we're Mr.. Heating
and F. A. Dean. The latter had been
here before and having to discuss the
same subject as on his previous visit,
he had a difficult task to entertain the
audience. He soon proved that he
was capable Of again pleasing the
people and made an admirable adj
dress that was frequently applauded.
His plea for reduction of the tariff
taxes was strong one, and thorough
ly exposed the wrong and injustice
done to laborers by the present high
tax. He showed that the tariff was
but tax, levied mostly on the neces-
saries Of life, and that the tariff tax
was paid by the Americans who pur-
chased the imported goods. The same
tariff tax also caused the price of al
most all home made products to be
increased in value, and the protected
manufacturer did not share his in
creased profits with his laborers. Mr..
Dean is, in our opinion, the most elo-
quent and earnest tariff reform speak,
err that has been in the city.
The concluding speech was deliver
ed by Congressman Fisher. He does
not make any pretentions to be a
public speaker, yet he delivered a
good practical business speech. He
said he had been charged with mis-
representing his district, and in reply
stated what he had done. His record
in that respect is very good one and
is far superior to the work done by
any preceding Congressman of this
district He defended his course in
supporting the Mills bill, said he was
strongly in favor of it, and believed
il would prove beneficial to the peo-
pie. In regard to lumber being plac.
ed on the free list, he admitted to hav.
ing considerable to do with it. 1t
was merely an offer to Canada, that
If she would take off the export tax
on logs exported to this country, that
the United States would remove the

The Republican party, in its ma
tional platform in 1884, came before
the people in about this manner
"The Republican party pledges itself
to correct the inequalities of the tariff,
and to reduce the surplus" That
was four years ago. Were the Re-
publicans then free traders ? Do they
want to be classed as free traders be-
cause they were lin their PLATFORM in
favor of a reduction of the tariff four
years ago? We guess not. But be-
cause the Democracy propose to "cor'
rect the inequalities of the tariff" the
Republican speakers and papers howl
most piteously about free trade and a
ruined country. Oh, consistency,
thou art jewel.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1888-10-24

tax on lumber. If the Mills bill
should become a law. the tax would
not be removed from Canadian lumber
unless she repealed the export tax on
logs. He then showed how necessary
it was to the people of Alpena and
other places along the shore that the
Canadian export tax on logs be re-
moved. The pine in this section OF
the country was decreasing very rap
idly and would not last, at present
rate OF consumption, over five years.
Great tracts of pine in the Georgian
Bay region were owned by lumber
bermen of Alpena, Bay City and
other shore towns, and if tho export
tax was removed, they would bring
the logs from that region to be manu-
featured at the shore mills. As far as
this city is concerned, we know Mr..
Fisher is right, and for getting that
clause placed in the Mills bill, he de-
serves a large majority in this county,
and we believe he will get it. The
continuance Of the lumber industry
at this city depends upon the Georgian
Bay logs being brought here for man.
ufacture. The Mills bill, in addition
to providing the means whereby raw
material can be obtained for the lum-
Der mills here, will also tend to lessen
the price OIL the necessaries Of life
that the Alpena people have to buy,
and which are mostly manufactured
in the eastern States.
Every man who therefore cares for
the interest Of his family; for a con-
tinuance of work; for the prosperity
of this city, will vote for Cleveland,
Fisher, Harshaw and Turnbull, for
each one of these men may have to
take an important part in getting
tariff reduction. The two latter are
likely to take part in the election of
A u. S. Senator, and in order to get
free logs, the Democrats must have

Mills bill has yet to be acted upon by
that body. 1t is also necessary that

and Turnbull.
The Mills tariff reduction bill
which was passed by the Compression
al House Of Representatives, will mo-
be approved by the Senate as long al
the Republicans have majority o.
the members of that body. At pres
ent the Senate is composed of 80 Re.
publicans and 81 Democrats. On the
4th Of next March the term of office
of rs Senators expire. Their success.
sors will be chosen by various State
Legislatures, and nearly all the State
legislators are to be chosen next No
vember. The Republicans have 26
senators who hold over, and the Dem
ocrats "a. The Republicans are sure
of II of those to be elected, and the
Democrats are sure of Is. If the
Democrats can secure the other two
senator's, one Of which will be from
this State, they will control the u. S.
Senate. The prospects of the Demo-
Gratis carrying this State are bright.
1t is thus very evident to every per-
son who desires the present burden
some tariff tax reduced, that the
Democratic candidates for State SEN
ator and State Representative should
be warmly and earnestly supported.
If the Democrats of this State should
elect majority of members of the
State Legislature, then tariff reform

igan, and the peoples heavy taxable

In this county it is necessary that
there be free trade of logs from Cana

Gratis provide for such, and the future
prosperity of the county depends up.
on the logs being brought here to be
manufactured into lumber. The cleo
ton of the State Representatives is
therefore very important to Alpena
citizens irrespective of party.
Andrew Harshaw, for Senator, and
j. ID. Turnbull, for Representative,
are the Democrats who have been
nominated for the districts of which
this county forms part. They should
receive the vote of every man in the
county who desires the lumber bust
ness to continue, and the people here
to prosper. The election of Messrs.
Harshaw and Turnbull is therefore of
great Importance to the people of this
district, as their election next month,
may be the means of giving the tariff
re formers majority of the Legisla-
ture.
Mr.. Turnbull has served the people
of this district before. and Mr.. Har-
shaw is the present Senator, and both
can be depended upon to aid any leg
islation favorable to the laboring
men. During his present term, Sena.
tor Harshaw introduced and secured
the passage of the mechanics lien law
