FREE TRADE AND DEMOCRACY.

One of the most successful tools used
by Democracy in catching votes in this
district, is their boosted devotion to
Free-Trade. Whether we personally
believe in Free-Trade or no, is not at
present the question. But the actual
legislation accomplished by the two
parties during the past six years. is the
matter that will prove whether the
honest voter is not being duped by the
political trickery of the Democratic
party. In this section of the country
it claims to be firmly devoted to Free
Trade. This issue only is brought be-
fore the people; because, it is a known
fact that the majority are devoted to
that policy. They see which way the
political current flows and fall in with
it to hold their political supremacy,
But the party thoroughly fails of being
unit upon the question. The proof
of it is only too plain. Two years ago
they had held both Presidential chair
and House for four years. 1t makes
no difference what the Presidential
messages advocated, did the legislation
establish Free Trade? 1t was as far
from it as the Mckinley bill. The
reason for it is that the whole of the
southern Democracy is united on the
principal of Protection. To expect a
Free Trade legislation from such a
party is the impersonation of foolish
ness. The Democrats catch votes in
the North by their endorsement of Free
Trade and in the South by the avowal
of Protection. That such foul policy
should be exposed is but a service 20
veracity. The Democrats did not four
years ago and will never, with their
strong Protective component, establish
Free Trade. Then the reciprocity policy,
urged by James G. Blaine, and engross-
ed in the Mckinley bill is the only true
way to bring about a proper policy of
Free Trade in the end. This is what
every Free Trader wants. He believes
that sudden reversal to the policy
would cause a panic throughout the
country. 1t must therefore be grad
ually brought about. There is no
other way than giving nation to I'M
derstand that just SO soon as they will
admit our exports free theirs may also
find free market. 1t is the only fair
and honest road to policy that all
best thinkers admit must ultimately
prevail.

JAMES S. AYERS.
THE REPUBLICAN, NOMINEE FOR CON-
GRESS IN THIS DISTRICT.
A Brief Review Of his Life.

JAMES 5. AYERS the Republican can
didate for Congress, was born August 30,
| 1880, in Canaan, Connecticut. The pro-
genitors of ]. s. Ayers in this country
consisted of three brothers of English
extraction, who emigrated to America
before the Revolution. One brother
settled in Maine, another in Connec I'll
cut, and the third in New Jersey.
Mr.. Ayers received his earliest in
structiOn in the common schools of
West Troy, New York, to which place
his parents had removed, and after
wards was instructed by a private tutor
until he reached the age of IL years,
when he marticulated at Williams Col
lege, Williamstown. Massachusetts,, and
four years later was graduated from
that institution. lie attended the law
school at Albany one year and was
graduated there, and went thence to
Chicago, where he opened up his office
and acted as an attorney tor three
years.
The exegencies of his fathers bust
ness in Michigan requiring his assist
ance and cooperation, he abandoned
his Office in Chicago and took up his
residence in Port Austin in 1866, and
lids W ltOlNt lllGlt tNCl
since. In 1871 he became member Of
the firm of Ayers, Learned ~ Co.,
which did large lumber and salt man
ufacturing business. BY the retire
menu of Mr.. Learned from the firm, its
name was changed to Ayers 81 Co., I'M
der which name the business has been
continued to the present time.
Mr.. Ayers is an active and aggressive

part in several Presidential campaigns,
work. He has acted as chairman of
several Republican county conventions
and although not a seeker for political
preferment takes an interest in direct
ing the flow of the political current.
He was prominent candidate before
the Republican congressional conven-
ton of 1886 and again in 1888, and
came near being nominated He takes
an earnest interest in school matters
and is a member of the present school
board of Port Austin. with which he
has been connected for upwards of 20
years. Mr.. Ayers is public spirited
citizen. thoroughly in earnest in what
ever he attempts to do. He is liberal
and progressive in his views on all ques-
tions, and possesses a kind and social
disposition. He has keen perecptive
faculties, thorough in all his business
transactions and has large executive
ability. lie is one of the most COM
panioDable men in the country, and
makes all around him feel the good eff
fects of his genial disposition.
He was great commander of the
Great Camp of the Knights of the Mac
cabees between the years of 1S87-1SS9,
and has since been foremost in the
councils of that organization.

A ISLANDER NAILED.

One of the rankest ISLANDERS the cam
paign has yet drummed up is the accu-
sation against the Hon. James NJ.
Turner that he used his position as
President of the State Fair manage
ment for political purposes. This
scandal was published first by the sour
rying Detroit Sun. An article debauch-
ed from such foul source can not fail
Of being but the contamination of evil
minded partyism. In the first place,
grant that it be true and if you look at
the question fairly you will see nothing
formidably offensive. 1000 passes is
sued to a population ofabout 100000,
allowing that none were distributed
outside of the state, which is obvious
ly not the case, is, on the face Of it. a
small proportion. Then, again, there
were in the state in 1889 exactly 708
periodicals. This neither included the
lately defunct Progress or the Demo-
crat. 1t is to be supposed that there
were many other journals also omitted
which would make the number approx
innate to 500. Now, considering that
three were apportioned to each paper
(for probably half dozen were given
to the larger periodically and it makes
a total of 2,40O given to the press alone.
This leaves but 1900 to be distributed to
prominent men in the state, as has
always been the invariable custom.
But what argues far more, this vicious

by rabid campaign paper. 1t has TAX

why Mr.. Turner does not publish an

TIE COUNTY REPUBLICANS MEET
A VERY STRONG TICKET NAMED.

The Republican county convention
was called TO order at 11:l5 O'Clock
Thursday forenoon. The convention
was remarkable for being the most har-
monious as well as enthusiastic ever
held in the county. There seemed to
be but one sentiment permeating the
whole assembly: to nominate the best
ticket the county could afford. The
result will approve their effort. Every
nomination but one was made by accla-
nation. The following is a brief state
ment of the ticket.

Huron.

WHAT HAS WHITING D0NE9

The Democratic Press of the district
can hardly contain itself for the costa
cy it fees(?) over the "noble" work
done by Justin r. Whiting during the
present session of Congress. Still it
has never specified a single motion
made by him, or even mentioned a
measure of universal benefit that he
has supported. He has been unassum-
ing they croak; "he always worked qui-
city for his constituency, they say.
The watery consistency of such argu-
ments will not prove very satisfying
diet for the thoughtful man. who looks
beyond the iiaring head-letters of a
ticket before voting it, What is want
ed in Congress is q working man; not
one who "has the interest of the district
at heart" as is peeyishly urged, but can
not be found in his seat That Mr..
Whiting was not found at his work is
a dire accusation. It means much.
There was policy pursued by the
Democrats of the house which they
magnificently named the obstruction
policy, i. e. to obstruct or stop all bus
mess which did not exactly suit them,
not by remaining and fighting it out
like man, but by "bolting like the lit
tie child that sulkily refuses to play if
it can not have everything itsiown way"
Now, il NJ. Whiting was not found at
his duty, it is very evident he assisted
in this puerile and cowardly practicy.
If he did he has laid himself open to
the loudest censure. He has disregard
ed the wish of the country in placing
his party in minority; and instead of
standing and nobly contestinc his
claims, he peevishly refused even . do
his duty by his constituency and alb
scented himself from the chamber. The
violent acts Of the Democrats in fore
ing their way out of the House were a
crying disgrace. Each Democrat in
the House was cupable. None failed
to obey the bid of their party leaders.
At one time it seemed that notwith-
standing the lowering clouds overshad-
owing the country's finances, no
measure of relief would be passed this
session for this very bull-headedness.
Mr.. Whiting and the rest of his Demo
cratic clique failed to recognize that
they were being paid Sl3 day to do
the business of the country, not of a
party.

Pointers in Politics.

Hon. III. ii. Hoyt, of Saginaw, has
been chosen chairman of the Democrat
ic congressional convention.
The Republicans Of Macomb county
have nominated G.. j. Moran for sheriff
and think they will elect him.
Hon. A, II. Partridge the Prohib. nom
inee for Governor, will address the Il.
of Is. on the Capac Playground the sec
ond day of the Fair.
Under ordinary circumstances the
Democratic party can swallow any
thing, but the ticket nominated last
week has caused vigorous kick all
along the line.-Port Huron Times.
Much grain is being shipped from all
points of Canada to points in the u. S.
A great deal from Ontario is coming to
Port Huron. The plan is to get as
much grain across the border as posi-
BILE before the Mckinley bill goes into
effect.
Democratic papers have shown them
selves up little too promptly in looking
after Hon. James M. Turner's business.
He writes letter to the Lansing Jour-
nal respectfully requesting that paper
to allow him to appoint his private
secretary at least without their assist
ance.
The Democrats of Sanilac county
have tried to gain the Z. of L. vote in
the county by underhand maneuvering
in the convention. Some Democratic
traitors from that estimable order
thought to insure their election by
working themselves into the Democrat
ic ticket.
In the recent st. Clair Democratic
county convention there were 112
speeches made-not county motions"
etc. One man spoke % times, and he
was backed up by Is others who spoke

Gratis must have passed off in wind. 1t

the county decent ticket.

marked a Democratic county official
this forenoon. From present indica-
tions it looks as if the Democratic
managers will sacrifice every man on
their county ticket in the interests of
Mr.. Whiting. The order has gone out
from headquarters to trade everything
for Whiting" Even trading will not
save Mr.. Whiting this year. lie will
go down with the rest of the ticket.
A little tilt occurred i'm the House
last week between Chairman Reed and
Representative Enloe of Tennessee, that
illustrates very correctly the position
there. Rep. Enloe, trying for the hun
dredth time TO hurl an effective bolt at
Speaker Reed on account of his rule
said; "The chairman sees gentlemen
on the Democratic side out of order
much more quickly than he does gentle
men on the Republican side. Speaker
Reed quickly retorted with his wonted
wit; ain some instances the gentlemen
on the Democratic side are much more
clearly out of order" Enloe hunted
his seat.
