Communication.

To the editor of the Argus:
see from the papers of the city that they
have undertaken to retry the suit of Mrs. Gull
ickson against Otto Giorud, which was tried in
our Circuit Court short time since. III these
papers have been misinformed as to the facts,
they may be excused perhaps for not stating the
facts correctly, but there can be no excuse for
the editors OF these newspapers In publishing
falsehoods for the facts helped try this suit,
and know what the facts are. as they were
shown by the evidence, and they are about as
follows:
That Mrs. Gullickson and her husband, when
they first came TO Alpena some years ago, liv-
ed over Otto Gjorid's saloon, and she, at this
time, requested Gjorud not to let her husband
have so much liquor; that Gjorud then laugh
ed at her; that after this they moved to Camp
bellville where they resided up to the time of
her husbands death; that her husband had
done very little drinking for three years pre-
vious to his death, and at the time OF his death
was rs years old. Chas. Potter testified that Gull
dickson had worked for them for three years
before his death, and that he never knew of his
drinking during this time, and that he was q
hard working industrious man. Martin Olsen
was with Gullickson on the Saturday and sun
day previous TO his death, and testified that on
Saturday he and Gullickson were around at va
rious saloons drinking, and that they were at
Gjorud's on this Saturday about dark; got
drinks there at this time, and that on Sunday
morning, he, Olsen, went TO Gullickson's house
with pint bottle OF liquor which they had
bought the day before; and about II o'clock In
the forenoon left Gullicksons house. and went
to where he had his horse and wagon, htched
II up and went over TO Gjorud's for some things
which he had ordered on Friday night, and
which Gjorud had agreed to deliver TO him at
CampbellviIle; that he got these things from
Gioruds store and put them In his wagon; that
he and GullIckson then went into Gjornd's sa-
loon and had several drinks Of whisky and
beer; th Mt he and GullIckson were consIdera-
bly, intoxicated when they first went into Gjor-
ud's saloon, but that they were both considera-
bly, more intoxicated when they left; that when
they left Gjoruds saloon, they got pint bottle
OF whisky from his bartender; that they drank
several times from this bottle Of whisky during

Alpena is making rapid advance
ment as a city and numbering mart.
During the past season about 220, OO0,-
900 feet of lumber have been shipped
by water from the port. The lumber
manufacture is, Of course, the princi-
pal industry Of the town, there hav-
ing been operated the past season II
saw mills and five single mills. The
Minor Lumber Company owns two

Using Medium in Alpena County.
Wednesday, Dec. 25, 1889.

Wood pulp has been great boon
to newspapers, its invention being one
of the principal causes by which it is
made possible for the great metropol-
itan daily newspaper, containing mat
ter enough to fill respectable volume,
to be sold for so small sum as two
cents, and it has also proved a great
boon to many mill owners by utilizing
a vast amount of material that would
otherwise go to waste A cord of
wood will make about 1850 pounds
of ground pulp, 1000. pounds of sui
phite fibre or 800 pounds of soda pulp.
Ground pulp is worth from S22 to $2S
per ton. Domestic sulphite fibre sells
at $67 so to $40 per ton, and the best
imported at s67.50 to 800. The at
tention of mill owners who find the
margin between the price of stumpage
and the manufactured product Sc
small is respectfully directed to these
fgures.-Timberman.

The Silver Question.

The silver convention which met at
st. Louis recently, was in favor OF
the free coinage of silver, and that
silver should be made equal with gold
The following is part of the resolu.
ton that was passed
Resolved, That the 51st Congress
be requested by this Convention to
provide at its first session for opening
the minis of the United States to
the free and unlimited coinage of
standard silver dollars of the present
weight and fineness, to be legal ten.
der for all debts, public or private,
equal with gold, and until such a
provision is made, the Secretary of
the Treasury be required to coin the
maximum, $1,000 900 worth of silver
per month, as now authorized by law.
A speech was made by Mr.. Fitch,
of Nevada, of which the following is
an extract:
After twenty years of national
prosperity the amount of our national
debt, measured by the number of days
work that would be required to pay
it, is about as much as it was in
1868. One has to journey through
this land to know that amid apparent
general abundance, amid the vast act
ual increase of wealth, the laborer is
not so prosperous, or contented, or so
hopeful as he was in the years which
succeeded Appomattox. For twenty
years, or at least sixteen years, in this
republic the laborer has been vainly
striving to increase the amount of
dollars for his labor, and the capital
list has been plotting to increase the
amount of toll he should receive for
his dollars. For sixteen years the
market value of dollars has gone up
and the market value of mans labor
has gone down, until freemen, in their
bitterness and their wrath, sometimes
ask which is the greater evil, the
black slavery that has gone or the
white slavery that has come. Do l
overstate the situation? For twenty
years we have had abundant prosper
ity, but at the end of it we find that
wealth is centered in a few hands.
Has the laborer, then, nothing to show
for twenty years toll? Oh, yes, he
can boast that the aggregate wealth of
the nation has largely increased. He
can boast of the factories established,
cities erected, rivers bridged, noun
tains channeled, transcontinental
highways stretched from ocean to
ocean. He can call the roll of mill
ionaires to-day and thousands will res
pond, where before the war there was
less than 500. He can wipe the sweat
from his weary face and reflect that
among the 5000 millionaires may be
enumerated the names of twenty
American citizens who have gathered
81 ,500,000,000 from the toll and tears
of 60,000,000 of people. These
twenty men have it in their power to
combine their efforts and fix the price
of every bushel of wheat, every ton
of coal, and days wages of labor be-
tween Hudson and Sacramento. We
can reflect that these twenty men
have it in their power to name the
majority Of the Governors, Judges,
and legislators in twenty States. He
can jostle his rags against the silken
garments which his toll has made.
He can regal his hunger by the odors
of things which he cannot taste. He
can walk weary and shelterless in the
shadow of the palace which he built,
but he may not enter.
