The pupil of a horses eve is en-
larged by being kept in dark stable;
he has a harness put on him and Is
suddenly brought out into glaring
sunlight, which contracts the pupil
so suddenly as to cause extreme
pain. By perseyering in this very
foolish and injudicious as well as
cruel practice the nerve of the eye
becomes impaired, and if continued
long enough loss of sight will ensue.
To see how painful it is to face a
bright light after having been in the
dark, take a walk some dark night
for a short time till the eyes become
used to the darkness, then drop sud-
denly into some well lighted room
and you will scarcely be able to see
for a few moments in the sudden
light. You know how painful it is
to yourself, then why have your
horses to repeatedly bear such un-
necessary pain? asks Field and Farm.

people this week, candidate for
county judge, subject to the action
of the democracy of Sharp county.
Mr.. Collins has served as magistrate
of this township for several terms

The National Democrat of last
week showed to a great extent why
the great state of California Is a
republican state. Raisins, oran ges,
lemons lines and other fruits are
protected by the tariff laws. and
those big fruit-growers realize from
5000 to $1,000 per acre on their
lands every year by reason of this
protection, in part When you buy
raisins now, half the time you are
paying a California monopoIist the
price of imported fruit, when the
government really don't get a cent

Weekly expositor. (Brockway Centre, Mich.) 1882-1894, 1890-09-05
LOOKl MERRIAM |!

In our issue of this week we publish
the last disparing cry of the respectable
people in the rum-cursed village of En-
met. These people have used almost
every other measure of protest in their
efforts to attract the attention of the
county's purblind officials. 1t has
seemed to be in vain. They will now,
under the leadership of the EXPosIToR,
give the county officials another chance
to remedy the evil. Laws have been
enacted limiting the sale of liquor and
it shall become necessity that they be
needed. Here is town where the enc
mics of public order have the complete
control. The law-abiding citizens are
hand and voice tied. Their public
money is squandered, and hundred
evils resulting from this run rampant.
Property is completely at the mercy of
the drunken crowd. Is there any ex-
cuse for this? None has ever been Of
fered except that officials are afraid Of
their heads. Prosecuting Attorney
Merriam is coward both morally and
physically. He may think that it will
assure him an election to pursue such
a policy and thus retain good hold on
the 200 democratic majority of Emmett.
We will make this thing so public that
a decent democrat will not dare to vote
for him. We will catch him in his
own trap. There is no longer place
here for such man. That it should
be laid to the cupidity of one demo-
gogue that such disgraces are prevalent
in town as are recorded elsewhere IN
this issue, is disgraceful.
Weekly expositor. (Brockway Centre, Mich.) 1882-1894, 1890-09-05
FIRE PROTECTION.

The startling alarm which is always
felt in small town in case of fire, and
which was felt last week once more in
a case most perilous to the business in
terests of the whole community, must
surely argue that something should be
done in the village as protection
against future need. Last Friday
morning we escaped very easily owing
to the recent rain. That a fire in such
position would, most any other time,
have robbed our town of much
capital must be evident. We can not
but congratulate ourselves on our good
fortune. But it will not always happen
thus. And any one will see that the
time to take action for fire protection
is after an insignificant fire such as this
one, and not to wait until hundreds
of dollars are irreparably lost. We,
therefor, make a plea for some SORT
of fire department. The amount of
valuable property in the village war
rants it. We suggest nothing eXpen-
sive. Very probably for 500 or $500,
and perhaps less, a hand pump could
be purchased and system of public
wells sunken, which would serve our
purposes admirably. This amount of
money would not pay for an ordinary
fire. And moreover, if we did possess
such an institution it would plainly
pay for itself in the decreased rates of
insurance it would bring about. The
running expenses of such an organiza-
tion would be comparatively nothing.
The young men of the place would
gladly give their support to it gratis as
they do in other places. One man, as
a chief, would alone command a regular
remuneration. 1t seems to us that if
this question is properly presented to
the property-owners of the village they
will surely. as policy of self-protec-
ton, give it immediate attention.
Weekly expositor. (Brockway Centre, Mich.) 1882-1894, 1890-09-05
WHAT DO THE STRIKES MEAN

Behind the first front of every strug-
gle there invariably stalks gigantic
scepter. 1t is the image of some cruel
wrong. However much the issue may
be turned to something else to blind or
discOmft the antagonist, this monster
nevertheless always exists. 1t is the
one redeeming feature of strife. 1t is
only the struggling spasm of some dire
full sickness. In these late contests be-
tween labor and capital we may ask.
what's the truth behind it all, not neces-
sarily that which is acknowledged as
such, but that which is the vital princl-
pie. Is it a contest between labor and
capital? 1t can not he. There is no such
thing, as an economical truth. a mans
labor and his skill is his capital. 1t is
therefor q contest between capital and
capital. The only question that stands
at issue is whether small capital shall
exist. 1t is distinctly a struggle for in
dividualsm Putting aside all avowed
intentions, it is for this that all these
men are now fighting. Then can there
be any doubt on which side our sympa-
thy shall be? The cause of the indivi-
dual against the monster corporation,
or monopoly, must be our cause. 1t is
the right and, moreover, it is the one
that undoubtedly advancing. The pres
ent decrease of aflluence in the Knight
of Labor organization argues nothing
to the contrary. There was time
when monied corporations invariably
succeeded whether right or wrong. 1t
is not so at present. If the New York
Central Railway comes out victorious
it will be because they have crawled
out under an assumed cloak of verify.
1t will never succeed just because of its
vastness. The individual with his
small capital should and must have all
the rights of large capitalists. And not
the smallest factors in this social re-
form are the merchants and farmers.
