TRUE AND TRIED MEN.

Despite all the opposition organs can
say about the candidates on the repub-
iiccan ticket, it is ,.pparent to all they
are not losing prestige, nor will there
be any diminutiOn in the large majority
vote prOgnosticated, at least 1000,
when tue polls close on Nov. 9Th. The
people have had "a trying time final
cially, the last few years, and are de-
termined to look after tile true interests
of The county by putting into public
Offices true and tried men. The men
on the republican ticket are widely
known for their Intelligent, educational
qualities, for their unblemish,d Char
acters aud as good citizens, of whom
40 ill can be truthfully said SOlo-
mon Sentinel.

Free Trade and Trusts.

In view of the large amount of at
tentiOn at present given the matter of
trusts it is amusing how much rot is
turned loose by the democratic press in
its attempt to fasten the responsibility
for them upon the protective tariff and
repubicanism. The democratic writers
do not seem to think it necessary to use
any reason in the consideration of the
problem or show any judgment in the
treatment of their theme. The bOldest
of statement, unSubStantiated by fact
is sufficient for their purpose. For
instance take the following from the
Detroit Free Press as a SAMPLE:
In this country the tariff gives wide field for
the operation of trusts. Take spool cotton. The
American manufacturers are protected by duty
equivalent on an average to &c per cent. ad va
loren. They can form a combination and put up
prices, and the tariff aids them in extorting those
prices from the people. They are wholly indif-
ferent to any other interests than their own.
Nobody has been heard of late years
to complain of the high price of spool
cotton. Nobody has been saying twas
an extortion. The Detroit Free Press
man is just as free to open spool cot
ton thread works as anybody else, if he
wants to, although, so Ear as the profit
is concerned, he probably won't. But
the REFLECTOR readers are perfectly
capable of seeing the fallacy of the
argument.
A free trader would have US make
something that we could make ito adj
vantage" as compared with England.
and supply the market of both coun-
tries, while England supplied both
countries, say, with cotton thread. In
other words, the production of two
staples would be concentrated, one in
this country, the other in England.
Now, would it not be much easier to
form a trust if all the production
for two widely remote markets were
concentrated in one country than if
each country supplied its home market?
1t would be easier for England to form
a trust in the article that we did not
make, and for us to form a trust IN an
article that England did not make, and
vet consumed, than it would be to form
a trust in either article in country
that manufactured both.
Is is not also evident that the posses
sion of foreign market, as compared
with a more especial cultivation of the
home market by producer, is temp
tation to trusts? The stimulation of
home production by duties that protect
against cheaper foreign manufacture is
generally an insurance of domestic
competition that prevents trusts. All
around, it is plain that protection is
more unfayorable to trusts than free
trade is.

A Touching Incident.

The following, which appeared in
a Detroit paper, is one of the most
touching incidents to be met with.
There is a family in this city who
are dependent at this moment upon a
little child for all the present sun
shine of their lives. A few weeks
ago the young wife and mother was
stricken down to die.
The question arose among them
who would tell her. Not the doctor
Not the aged mother, who was to be
left childless and alone. Not the
young husband who was walking the
floor with clenched hands and rebel
lious heart. Not-there was- only
one other, and at this moment he
looked up from the book he had been
playing with unnoticed by them all,
and asked gravely:
SIS mamma dom to die?
Then, without waiting for an an
swer, he sped from the room and up
stairs as fast as his little feet would
carry him. Friends and neighbors
were watching by the sick woman.
They wonderingly noticed the pale
face of the child as he climbed on the
bed and laid his small hand on his
mothers pillow. "Mamma," he ask
ed, in sweet caressing tones, sis you
'fraid to die?'
The mother looked at him with
swift intelligence. Perhaps she had
been thinking of this.
neutrality-suspicious.? ?" she
asked family.
"Doctor, an papa, and gamma
everybody" he whispered. "Mamma,
dear little mamma, doan' be 'fraid to
die, i'll you?''
'No, Charlie said the young
mother, after one supreme pang of

When the family gathered awe
stricken at the bedside, Charlie held
up his little hand.
ssHu-s-h! My mamma doan' to
sleep. Her won't wake up here any
more -
And so it proved. There was no
heartrending farewell, no agony of
parting; for when the young mother
woke she had passed beyond, and as
baby Charlie said: cit was all light
