A New Irvine For Harvesting-.A
Great Saving to Farmers.
A trial was made yesterday of a twine
made of hay and straw, which proved
fully as satisfactory as binder Irvine
made from MANILA and siSal. The trial
was made on the farm of Isaac Christ
lieb. near Long Lake. The Irvine made
ran from 25O to 275 feet to the pound,
instead of 500 to $50 feet in the MANILA.
The new twlne when in use will make
new market for slough grass, and
save to the farmer the money which
now goes to Asia and Central America
for MANILA and slsal. The experiment
was considered success in every re-
spect.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Minneapolis is coming to the front
a literary center. There was time
and it was not so very long ago either
when the directory was about the only
book whose author lived in the Flour
City. Now it is different. Every week
OF so comes the announcement that an
other Minneapolltan has written book
One of the latest seekers after literary
fame is James F. Raymond. Mr.. Ray
mond is retired business man, one of
the few who are content to fOrego
money getting after passing the zenith
of life, and employ the brain i'll more
aesthetic labor. Mr.. Raymond's book is
called The Lost Colony" 1t is now in
the press of the Petersons, of Philadel-
phla. An Eastern writer, who has seen
it, says of it:
''This is thrilling story of love and
adventure, full of varying scenes, Won
derful situations and startling Incidents.
The delineations of Southern life and
character are marked by fidelity and
truth, and give many glimpses OF the
picturesque. The descriptions of war
and military exploits which form one OF
the strands of the narrative are evil
IDENTIFY the work of one who knows the
dangers and destinations of warfare.
They are especially notable for the i'm
partial way in which they treat the
VeXed questions of those trOublOus
times, showing both sides of the shield
with rare clearness and justice. The
different perSonages of the story stand
out in sharp contrast to each other,
affording great variety of character
iZation."

THE SLUGGERS SLUGGED.
An Exposition of the False
and Misleading Statements
Made by the "Port Huron
Baby"

Our opponent has thus far labored
under the very strange belief that the
EXPosITOR had something to fear from
figures and that it was quite mistaken
in its conclusions or else willfully de-
ceiving. Quite the contrary is the case.
The whole contest Is based upon the
authorized reports of the Boards. But
we have Stunned long lists lest they
prove as misleading to the public in
this case as they have for the last ten
years. These long lists of figures can
leave no lucid impression to the casual
reader and merely tend to confuse.
However, as the "child of city capital"
has initiated the unworthy supervisors
by means of these misleading lists, we
take pleasure in explaining it to the
people. Nothing could be more graft
flying to us. For, in so far as the list is
accurately founded upon the reports
and is not misstatement, it is Just
what we would urge the people to con-
slider. We therefore print the list Just
as il was furnished the "baby" by
"Nurse" Bailey, together with short
explanatory note which is quite neces-
sary to thorough understanding of
the article. 1t is TO be supposed that
this is the most favorable light possible
in which to shade the corruption of the
Board and, rs we shall see, this "milk"
is distinctly of the prepared kind:

City and Fort Gratiotare excluded from

Without looking into this report at
present for cunningly planned misrep-
resentations, let us see to what conclu-
sions we can come from the story as
told by our guilty opponent. We must
all admit that we are apt to be cOnfus-
ed by a long list of big figures which
we have not the time or disposition
perhaps to investigate.
Referring to the list we see that Port
Huron has increased since 1880, during
the ten years of its greatest growth,
S24l ,625. BE sure we quote the figures
rightly. This is the abuse of which we
complain. 1t Is the cause of the whole
tight. Other matters are but secondary
to and outgrowths of this one bastard
ly and unscrupulous system of cheat
ing by which the whole weight of taxa
ton Is cast upon the country. Port
Huron has increased in assessible value
just S24l ,62J in ten years! man who
would dare TO make such Il prepOster-
Ous statement would be called a liar, a
chiid would be called an idiot. The
man who had the hardwood 90 pen
that statement knows, If ne knows
anything, chat Port huron has grown
$4,000, 900 within the last ten years,
and not one cent less. This is nor an
exaggeration. 1t is the plain truth as
any honest real estate agent i'm Port
Huron will tell you. Port Huron is
paying taxes on S24l ,62j moro than she
did ten years ago. Why that would
hardly buy the lots and build decent
residences in the city during the boom
on a single square. But supervisor
Bailey pinches the "baby" and he cries
out "the cities are assessed too high on
account of their expensive govern
ment, etc" We leave it to the Getty
nurtured baby" if even with its unde-
velOped intellect it does not understand
that S24l ,625 of increase i'm a city of
$4,000 is not surely burdensome
growth in ten years. The facts of the
case are that these gentlemen see this;
but for the sake of their "milk" dare
not utter their convictions. They
must have seen that this $241 ,625 of
growth is less even than the $258, ,47O
which their doctored figures assign as
the growth of Fort Gratiot during the
same period. OF course they know in
what ridiculous light it would place
them to say that Port Huron, in the
light of the present talk of annexation,
and a city of 900 had not grown in
wealth ~ mush in 10 years ~ its small

Up 10 the time OF going to press we were not
able To get reports ANA SO cannot complete the
table this week.
We urge upon every body a thorough
consideration of this Utble. 1T forms
the groundwork of the whole struggle.
Here are two wards in Port Huron
which have received the greatest inn
prOvemouts of any IN tAe Guy III thc
shape of nue residences which are
today paying taxes ON oaJ,Oz5 and
800 Respectively less than they did
last year. Ii is outrageous. With
your pencil YOU can readily verify the
result. fort huron, according to the
cuuali tiOn rolls is worth but SIGl ,2G0
more today than 1t was in 1880. This
is unbearablc when our townships
have 20 make up from our own slim
pockets what the cities do not pay.
These figures refer entirely TO real
estate, you will see, and by being made
smaller can De grasped more readily.
They emphasize the one point we
wish to known. Port Huron is pay
ing taxes on but $l64, ,26O more Of real
estate than in 1880. The country dis
tricts, on contrary, are paying taxes on
S4S9, 300 more of real estate than in
1880. All this is in plain view of the
fact that the country has decreased
fully one third in that time, and the
cities have grown almost five-fold.
Port Huron has grown in value S10,-
600, 900 in real estate since 1880 and ia
paying taxes on only $l64,260 worth
more today. In the face of this the
Equalization Committee of the last
Board raised the townships 81 ,496, ,595
and lowered the cities S417 1873, AS we
have shown previously.
