lness, and it is true that he would
not be on the rostrum to day had the
people not called him there, and it is
really surprising that he is climbing
up the speech-making path at such a
rapid rate. But to say nothing about
speech making, he seems to have a
peculiar kind Of material in his
makeup that caused him to make
wonderful accomplishm ents in his
own company's business matters, and
so much so that the people have for
years noticed it. 1t has come to a
time now that the people are awaken
ing to their interest, in earnest.
They put confidence in what our
congressman told them two years
ago, and elected him, because he was
in the midst Of several fights then
before congress, which were of some
importance to the whole district and
two or three of them especially in
the interest of the Saginaws. He
went back to congress. The fight
for public buildings, and several
other appropriations began. and he
lost every fight he engaged in. Yea,

bor congressman, who is no speech
maker but a genuine. business MANI
even stole from under Tins nose the
U. S. Land office and gave it to the
little village of Grayling, way up
north. What the people want in
this district is man who will protect
them. Democratic protection is just
as good if they can only get it and
have it done right; but what are our
citizens to do ii they canrot get it
from that source? Why they will
look elsewhere. Now that is just
what they are doing, and have been
ever since Tarsney vas whipped.
They called ou Capt. A. T Bliss to
step into the harness, and they
guaranteed they would elect him, and
it is for the peoples interest to elect
him, and they will elect him, He
can do no worse than Tarsney has
done, let everything be stolen from
the d strict.-Chesaning Argus.

General Harrison's speeches are
like bugle blasts. You do not have
to read them twice to be sure you get
the sense Alright. He says what he

Anglo-Saxon, and the boy just begin

His speeches are an epitome of Re.

The Enthusiasm Is Amazing.

General Alger has been speaking in
Indiana, and joined Mr.. Blaine's
party at Lafayette. When asked
what he thought of the situation, he
said: 81 believe the Republicans are
going to carry every State in the
North. In the light Of what we at
present know, l do not see how the
Democrats can carry any one of the
doubtful states. Such enthusiasm as
we saw in Indiana was perfectly
amazing. / think | saw at least a
million people while in the state.
Everybody wearing badges, every
body hurrahing, and everybody, it
seemed, going to vote for Harrison.
Every little town tn, ough which we
passed turned out its whole population.
Business seemed to be suspended.
| don't believe the farmers will husk
their corn until after election. l
have been surprised to find now
many soldiers voted for Cleveland
l think at least so, 900 did so. The
old soldiers to man this year are
going to vote the Republican ticket,
and they may well do SO. They
make the case of every man whose
pension was vetoed their own. The
old soldiers will be one of the princi-
pal sources of gain to the Republicans
of Indiana. At Utica, N. Y, l saw
company of twenty-seven soldiers,
twenty-six of them we're Republicans.
AS l stood there talking with them,
the twenty-seventh said: well, boys,
/ guess I'll have to 60 with you
"The talk of Michigan being
doubtful is all nonsense. Every
place you go, Democrats are pointed
out who are going to vote the Repub.
lican ticket. In procession at Flint,
the other day, there were twelve
Prohibitionists and four Democrats
who are going to vote the Republi.
can ticket l have enquired very
carefully as to the Prohibition vote
and 1 am very we'll satisfied that it
will be less than it was in 1884. All
the Congressional districts in the
present outlook will return Rcpubli-
can Members. Chipman will be de-
feated in the Detroit district, and
Whiting, the, present Democratic
member of the Port Huron district,
is no longer confident Of re-
election
General King has been travelling
with Mr.. Blaine ever since he left
New York. He said his opportunities
for observing the public temper had
been all one-sided, and for that reas-
on not as satisfactory as he would
have had them. But from what he
found out while in indiana, Harrison
would carry the state by large ma
jority, and in New York Harrison's
majority would be 1000.

Workingmen, Attention

The father of the Mills free trade
bill, r. Q. Mills, of Texas, in
speech at East St. Louis, H., Septem-
Der a6th, said:
'Then we will put our own. intel
ligert ard skillful and protective
labor in this country upon plane of
equality with the laborers of all other
countries"
This is the ultimate aim and pur-
pose OF the present free trade crusade.
1t means putting our steel workers
on an equality with the 6o-cent
day steel-workers of Belgium.
1t means putting our millers on an
equality with the AZ cent day mill
ers of the great flour producing
centre of Europe, Buda. Pesth.
1t means putting our paper max
ers on an equality with the SO to 55-
cent day paper makers of Belgium,
Norway and Sweden, VINO now send
large quantities of paper to this coun-
try annually, Notwithstanding the
protective tariff. ~.
1t means putting the weavers in
our cotton mills upon an equality
with those of Alsac-Lorraine, who
work from twelve to fourteen hours
day for 81 cents on.the average;
with those of England who receive
II cents day, and of Italy who re-
ceive IS cents day.
1t means putting our woolen mill
operatives on level with the SI.cert
woo'en workers of England.
1t means putting our fax, linen
and hemp workers on an equality
with the SO cent day operatives in
these industries in England.
1t means putting our boot and
shoemakers on an equality with those
of England, who earn 81 cents a day,
and of continental Europe, who earn
from so to SO cents day.
1t means putting our masons and
carpenters on level with the SI.Io
labor Of these trades in England, and
SO to 10 cent day wages of Europe.
1t means placing our machine
blacksmiths on level with those of
Scotland, who earn SI.oS day.
1t means placing our frst-class
machinists on a level with those of
Scotland, who earn SI.2o cents day,
and of continental Europe, who earn
Ga cents day.
1t means that our printers shall
work for 90 cents day as in Eng
land.
1t means that laborers about our
factories, shops and public works
shall toll day in and day out as they
do in England for 72 cents day,
and on the Continent for IS to SO
cents day. 2
1t means that our rollingmill men
shall work for 81 cents day and our
iron moulders for SO cents, as they
do in Europe.
1t means that our wives and chill.
dren shall go into the shop, the fac
tory and the field and work with the
men from early morn till late at night
as they do in every country of Europe.
1t means that our wage earners
shall dwell in novels and crowded
tenements, and live on soup and
black bread and scarcely ever taste
meat, as they do in Europe.
Workingmen, this is what r. Q.
Mills, the author of the Cleveland
Mills bill, says the democratic free

They Sacrifice Wool and Save Sugar.

Wool is product of nearly all parts
of the Union, and moments thought
will convince any one that if protec-
ton is beneficial it could not be ap
piled to any industry which would
distribute its profits more widely
than would be done by wool tariff
The entire area devoted TO sugar
production in this country is net as
large as ten Iwoa townships, accord
ing to statement made by eX-Gov'
ernor Gear, Of Iowa, in congression'
al debate last summer. In SO years
the entire sugar production of the
United States has aggregated but
5000, 900, 900, while in IS years the
duties upon that article have amount
ed to 500, 900, 900. Every consum.
er of refined sugar today pays trib-
ute of IL cents pound to sugar
trust. In view of these undisputed
facts no tariff reformer Can consist
emily assail the Republican position,
especially as the Mills bill itself pro-
poses reduction Of Is per cent. in
the sugar tariff.
The trainers of the Mills bill well
understood that consistency required
them to make 4 heavy reduction in
the sugar tariff, but they found that
this would reduce revenues so greatly
that wool could not then be. made
free. So they determined to sacrifice
the interests of the wool people to the
avarice of Southern sugar-growers.
That cowardly evasion Of duty was
confessed by Congressman Brecken-
ridge, of Kentucky, and has been
endorsed by the Democratic party.
