Mr.. H. B. TAllaierro, President OF the Grain

The grain trade of our city for the past

season was very untavorable for the wheat

wet weather an l.gh water, yet the prices
obtained in tbs market have been fully
equal to those gotten in any of the
eastern markets. and much of the time have
been in advance of competing points,

Asitis l0l miles by tho channel course

railroad bed would require say 500 per
year per mile to keep up he track and
road-bed. it follows that on the same ratio
the river should have about $40. 900 annually
merely to keep Its condition good. As n
matter OF fact. the appropriations made
only average about double this amount
and as these have not been made except
every other year, it follows that the
amount available for expenditure has only
been about what 2 would cost 20 keep o

Our most excellent friend, the good

ing figure of Injustice with a big II,
and then grows virtuously indignant
over his own creation-even as, in the
olden time, the artist fell madly in
love with the feminine ideal his pencil
had limned And what is it all about?
Simply that Iron Post, No. $40, Ct. A.
r., had passed set ofresolutions con-
demning the action of Mr.. Kinsey in
putting the board of examiners at De
Soto, and the REGISTER published
those resolutions after they had APP
peared in the city papers-as it had
right to do, seeing they were not copy
righted. But the good Doctor assumes
that we regard. them as ''purely polit-
ical,n and therefore must know that
their presentation, consideration and
passing was lin violation of the rules
of the Post" We know nothing of

MANY A LIFE

II AS been saved by the prompt use of
1 Ayers Pills. Travellers by land or
sea are liable TO constipation or other
arrangements Of the stomach and bowels
which, if neglected, lead to serious and
often fatal consequences. The most sure
means of correcting these evils is the use
of Ayers Cathartic Pills. The prtt-
dent sailing-master would as soon go 10
sea without his chronometer as without
a supply of these Pills. Though prompt
and energetic in operation, Ayers Pills
leave no i'll effects they are purely
vegetable and sugar-coated the safest
medicine for old and young, at home or
abroad.
For eight years I was afflicted with
constipation, which at last became so
bad that the doctors could do no more
for me, Then | began 10 take Ayers
Pills, and soon the bowels recovered
their natural and regular action, SO that

IsHPEMING, MICH, October 20.-The Ban
mum mine was Idle day, aud only a frac-
ton of the regular force was out at the Lake
Angelina. Many miners are leaving daily,
and nearly third of the strikers will seek

turning to England, where wages are higher
and men scarce, and others are going to
various parts of the country. The Barnum

Shortly after he assumed the title of

ual who was an applicant for the Pop

Republican Logic"

Our manufacturers would perish
without Protection.
Protection makes wages high.
Protection cheapens protected pro-
ducts.
Let man who is not utterly devoid
of brain study the above triangular
proposition for ten seconds. That is
all we ask; for if he doesn't discover
the unprotected lie in it, in that length
of time, he is too fanatical Republi-
can to see the truth in any shape or
condition.

The more arrogant Republican
speakers go about saying: "Supposing
you do elect a Democratic House this

Senate will be Republican for ten
years, the Mckinley Bill is the law,
and you can't undo it. In other
words, they tell the people, "We've

The REGISTERS inquiry asking the
friends of Mr.. kinsey to point to a
single act of that gentleman since he
has been in Congress, which entities
him to the kindly consideration of the
voters of the Tenth District, remains
unanswered. The Light Weight is a
mere figure-head. and, beyond provid
ing offices for his henchmen, he was
never heard from after he reached the
capitol.

The Truth made the statement a
couple of weeks since that Byrns Sc
cured the Union Labor nomination by
paying for it This is not true and
cannot be proven. 1t was charged at
the time that Kinsey had paid the
railroad fare of all the st. Louis dele
gates to Bismarck and expected the
convention to endorse him. Mr.. Kin
sey denies the statement, but the
REGISTER has it on very good author
ity that he did buy the railroad tickets
and fully expected the Union Labor
nomination.

Maj. Pearce, the individual who
made the Republican speech here a
week ago Saturday night, was in
Washington all during the session of
the Fifty-First Congress lobbying for
the tax on binder Irvine. Kinsey was
his willing tool and when the Major
pulled the strings the Light Weight
danced. The Major, it seems, though
is not ungrateful and is now spending
all his time telling the farmers and
laborers of the Dis trict that Kinsey is
the man to represent them i'll Con
gress. Every vote Kinsey cast while
in Congress was in favor of the classes
as against the masses, and the voter
is on to that fact, so Major Pearce's
sophistry and ridiculous tariff rot and
lies will have little or no effect. The
people are on to him as well as they
are on to Kinsey.
