The Australian System.

Now that the democratic party of
this state has declared in favor Of the
Australian ballot system, our readers
will be interested in knowing just
what that system is. We find the
following explanation of it in the In
dustrial West, published at Dubuque
The Australian system of voting is
SO called because it was first intro
duced in Australia. 1t provides for
an absolute secret ballot. Its object
is to protect the voter from corrupt
ing influences and permits him to
vote in such way as to shield him
from redicule or censure for express
sing his preference. The system pro-
vides that the candidates Of all part
les and kinds to be voted for at any
election shall be printed on one tick
ct and the ticket printed at the ex-
pense Of the State and of uniform
character. and no one is allowed to
print or peddle tickets. Each cleo
tion precinct is provided with the
necessary officers and chalIengers
from the various parties who are per-
mitted to be present at the polls.
After q voter has satisfied the clerks
Of election that he is legal voter he
is given an official ticket and the
clerk designed for that purpose puts
an official stamp on the back of it to
prevent him from using a bogus tick
ct If he SO desired. The voter takes
the ticket and then passes into..a little
booth or stall prepared for that pur-
pose, and there, entirely excluded
from the outside world, where there
is no personal friend to persuade, no
boss to dictate nor boodler to corrupt,
he grasses the names of the candidates
for whom he does not wish to vote or
in some other way as the law may
provide he indicates his choice and
and after folding the ticket SO as to
reveal the official stamp on the back
he comes out and deposits his ballot.
The number Of booths are regulated
by the number of voters in the pre-
cinct and any voter who cannot read
chooses an assistant who is sworn to
secrecy. The Australian system does
not prevent any system of registra-
ton.

Shylock has squeezed fifty pounds

bushels Of wheat into it; and yet he

b. Allison to the y. 8. Senate. He
fittingly represents the interests Of
Wall Street in the lSenate, and be-
trays the interests Of every laboring
man and producer in the West.
It was senator Allison who crippled
the coinage act by lacking on the
Wall Street amendment, limiting the
coinage of silver and making the gov.
eminent its owner, thereby providing
to limit the circulating medium by
piling it up in the Treasury vaults.
The national banks can rely upon
him to uphold the statute passed
twenty five years ago providing for
the deposit Of the treasury surplus
in these pet institutions without in
terest. These banks now have over
$50, 900, 900 Of the peoples money
taken from them by unjust and un-
necessary taxation, which can only
be restored to the channels of business
through loans at usurious rates. He
supports the policy Of chartering 5000
national banks, giving them
about $3.50, 000, 900 at one per cent, to
loan to the producers at ten per cent.
and in addition loans them the treas
ury surplus without interest. Mr..
Allison demands that these evils be
corrected by the men who establish
ed them. This is modest, truly. Some
one illustrates it thus pointedly. A
citizens meeting is called to devise
means to check and convict the petty
theiving gangs which inflicts the
place. The gang Of thieves protest,
alleging that the citizens have other
means of living, that those engaged
in the vocation of larceny are numer-
GUS and have no other means Of sus-
tenance, and il the system is to be re-
vised and improvedsit should be done
by its friends and not by its enemies.
And voters, this is precisely the
the situation in this Senatorial and
Representative district. Against
Messrs Bailey and Cutting,
as men and as neighbors, we
have no word Of censure. But the
policies which they will aid in rivet.
ing upon you and your children
through the election of such men a
Allison, ought to prompt you tc
pause and to ponder these facts. A
calm consideration of them we believe
will prompt you to vote for Peter E
Haugen for Senator and for Thoma,
McCook for Representative.

He Sent Eighty Miles for r..


Milo Page, of San Bernarnino, Cal,
on Sept. Z, writes as follows.
In 1853 / was taken with bilious col
ic. being then seventeen years old.
Yearly attacks followed, and at
length they became more frequent.
In 1872. while residing in Oakland,
suffered severely from this disease,
and was informed by DR.. PinkertOn
that it was chronic and incurable.
While Frustrated by a severe attack
a friend induced me to take n large
dose of Walkers Vinegar Bitters,
Old Style. probably four wine glasses
full. In less than half an nour was
free from pain. l followed this up
with three wine-glasses day-OEa.
half au hour before each meal-until
l used up the bottle.
For over seven years l was perfect
" free from bilious collie, but in the
fall of 70 / was engaged in mining in
Nevada, and the coarse food l ate
brought on sharp attack. / was
far from any drug store, but l dis
patched q courier eighty miles for q
bottle Of Vinegar Bitters.
When he returned was unable to
speak, but put the bottle tony lips.
took two swallows, and in twenty
minutes the pain left me. / finished
the bottle as before, taking three
doses daily, and for nine years after
ward l was perfectly free from the
dreaded disease.
A month ago it returned, but try
ing the old remedy, Vinegar Bitters,
l was cured, as before.
l write this because you do not es-
pecially recommend Vinegar Bitters
for bilious collie. Only those who
have suffered the agonies OF this dis.
ease, can understand what boon q
sure cure is, and in Old Style Vinegar
Bitters yOn have the best, and per.
haps the only real remedy known.
In reply to Mr.. Page we will cay
that Vinegar Bitters cures hundreds
Of diseases; we have not the space to
catalogue them, and perhaps If we
published them those unacquainte.l
by experience with our valuable rem
edy might doubt its efficacy still, al
SO many worthless preparations ar.
thrust OH the market and pulled in
SO many entravagant ways.
The fact remains, however, that
those who have been accustomed tx
take Vinegar Bitters for any length

they are young or old. Those wht
doubt and foil to take it are likely tx
fall into all manner of ailments, grea

and New Styles, keep those who tak'
them fresh, fair, healthy and young
looking, and when we ono,

LABOR OPPOSED TO HUrCHIsoH

In the last edition of the Industrial
West, the principal labor paper in
Iowa and edited by j. r.
Sovereign, state master work
man Of the knights Of Labor,
there appears an editorial entitled
Hutchinson No Good for Labor as
follows:
I'VE regret to announce that it be-
comes our duty to oppose the elec-
ton of J. g. Hutchinson, the Republic
can candidate for governor in this
state. Our opposition to him is be-
cause Of his opposition to what We
consider necessary reform in Iowa
and every other state in the unions
Last March, when we entered upon
our duties as the chief officer OF the
Iowa Knights Of Labor, we gave pub
lie notice that we would make non-
partisan effort to secure the Austral-
ian ballot system in this state. Our
proposition was universally approved
by organized labor throughout the
entire state, and has been highly
commended by General Master
Workman Powderly and the other
general officers of the knights Of La
Dor. The Farmers Alliance took up
the Australian system at it's state
meeting held at Des Moines Sept. 8,
and gave it an unanimous endorse
ment, and we felt very much elated
over what seemed to be an assured
victory. But Mr.. Hutchinson has de-
clared his opposition to it, we heard
it out Of his own mouth, aud now the
only honorable course left for us is to
oppose Mr.. Hutchinson, which We
shall do until the close of the cam
paign."
After describing the Australian
ballot system and the advantages
which would result from its opera
ton, principal among the latter be-
ing the destruction of the incentives
to bribery and corruption, the West
says:
Why should Hutchinson oppose q
system SO full of justice and protec-
ton to the voters of Iowa! We can
ascribe but one reason, and that is he
foresees that under the Australian
system money and trickery will not
rule at the ballot box whenever
there is struggle between the peo-
pie and monopoly. He probably re-
allies that the Australian system is
the corner stone Of reform and will
enable the people to successfully
grapple with the great money power.
We can imagine no other reason for
his opposition. Now this is no parss
tisan struggle with us. We will not
attempt to suggest for whom the
working people of Iowa should vote
for governor, but we wish to
suggest for whom they
should not vote. And we call on the
organized laborers of Iowa to organ
ize anti Hutchinson clubs. Go out in
to the highways and call every labor
ing man into the fight against Hutch
ison, and on the 5th day of next No
vember teach him with your votes
that the little demands of labor must
and shall be respected
In order to defeat Hutchinson the
only practical way is to vote for
BOies. They are the two candidates
who have a chance for success. The
Union Labor ticket would receive at
the best only q comparatively small
vote and cannot possibly be elected.
For the workinglnen to vote for it is
throw their votes away. In fact, it
would be a half-a-vote for Hutchinson.
The only sure way to insure the
adoption of the Australian system is
to vote for the Democratic ticket as
headed by Boies. i Herald.

~4AkA W ~
A Republican Paper Says his Pro-
Railroad Record in the Leglsla-
ture ID . Startling Exposure,
and He should Be With
drawn From the
Ticket.
&c lar Rapids Gazette, Rep: When
Mr.. Hutchinson was nominated, the
Gazette supposed him to be q man
with an absolutely clean legislative
record. We had the utmost conf
dence in him. We wrote kind words
OF him, believing he was worthy.
But what do we find. When asked
for his views regarding certain fea-
lures OF the railroad issue, he appar-
emily attempted to snub the farmers,
as much as saying. attend to your
own business" We did not like that,
nor the way he evaded certain ques-
tions, nor the corporation replies
given to others, but all these things
figured little, to our mind, as CON-
pared with the startling exposure
made by State Lecturer Ashby in un-
earthing the senator's railroad rec
ord made during his legislative ca
reer. 1t is a pity that some one had
not looked up this matter before the
convention, and then the nomina.
ton would not have been made. But
it is, and what Gun be done. II elect
ed he will be perfectly free to do any
thing he may desire in the interest of
railroads and against the interests of
the people, and he can say in truth
that he never promised anything
else. This is the situation. The Leg
islative journals do not lie. The rec
ord given has not been denied by
Senator Hutchinson. Would he not
deny it If false? II true, is he q fit
man to be governor OF Iowa at this
crisiss Senator Allison truly says
that both parties agree on the trans
portation question. Is it right, then,
to elect an enemy of the principle as
governor Of Iowa? Cannot Hutch.
sons managers get him to withdraw
and let the state committee put Gov.
Larrabee and Poyneer at the head
of the ticket? Poyneer has a pretty
fair record and what is encouraging
he comes right out and proposes tc
make it better. The farmers could
conscientiously vote for him, but can
they for Hutchinson? Thousands will
no doubt vote for Poyneer for lieu.
tenant-governor who will not vote
for Hutchinson for governor. We re
greet this exposure, but we cannot
and will not try to keep the truth
from the people. 1t is his record; HI
cannot disown it. Only q few repub
lican papers dared to endorse his in
sulting letter to the Alliance. Viii
Any Republican paper dare to de
fend such record as this. The GA
zette cannot and will not. Hutchi
son is only one man, q rich one, how
ever, banker and all that, and hi
bad record should not weigh agains1
the interests of two million people.

ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
Wednesday, June IL. 1889.

The newspaper libel bill passed the
lower house of representatives. 1t is
a lust bill and should become a law.
The present law make newspaper
publisher criminal before he has
even been tried, even for clerical err
ror accidentally made by an employe.
The present law says all errors made
by newspaper men were done through
malice. The same law says the worst
renegade when arrested for some brut-
ish crime is innocent until he is prov
en- guilty. The new law gives the
newspaper man the same rights that
is now given to any other man who is
charged with offenses, that is, the
prosecutor must prove that the news
paper man was guilty. 1t also pro-
vides that shyster lawyers can not
prosecute such charges on percentage.
The proposed law is a good and just
one and it should be passed by the
Legislature and signed by the Gov
ernor. The new law does not release
a publisher from being obliged to pay
damages caused by scurilous attacks.
The day after the bill was passed, the
House changed its mind and reconsid-
cred the bill, but why the members
did so is hard to tell.

The majority against the bonds was
only %. The election was tame at
fair, as compared with political elec-
tions. As rule there was no partic-
ular strife by either side. A number
of citizens did not vote, owing to be-
ing undecided on the subject. The
opposition to the bonding scheme was,
to a considerable extent, on account
of citizens being opposed to a bonded
debt, and not on account of opposi-
ton to the common school system.
1t is a well known fact that there is
not room enough in the city schools to
accommodate the children, and this
was one of the reasons why the Board
asked the people to vote on the sub
iect. The course taken was ust
and proper one. 1t was a question OF
taxation, and such, after certain linn
its, should always be decided by the
taxpayers. The responsibility has
been assumed by the people, and thus
relieves the members of the Board
from all blame in regard to furnish
ing sufficient accommodations for the
school children, provided they make
good use of the funds placed at their
disposal.
Those taxpayers who we're in the
city and could leave their work to
vote, are equally responsible on this
question.
There is also no doubt but that
there is some opposition to the High
school system. We do not mean that
such citizens are displeased with teach
ers or their work, but to the High
school system itself. The belief o
such persons is that taxes should only
be raised for what is usually designated
as the common school system. We als'
believe that if the Board had stated
what sort of building they intended
to erect, and that the bonds to be is
sued would not extend more than fiv'
years, that the result would have beef
different, provided the plan for tn
proposed school building suited tn
people.
