One of the great errors of the free
traders and those who are misled by
them, is in supposing that agriculture
is the only really great interest of the
United States. 1t must not be forgot
ten that we are the greatest manufac-
turing nation in the world, and have
been for at least ten years. BY the
report of the census of 1880, 1t was
shown that we exceeded Great Britain
In the total value of our manufactures

ufactures has been in consequence OF
the protecting policy, and our farmers
have been as much benefited by that
policy as have our industries. Toledo

The Boston Herald, a few days
ago declared that the talk of the Re
publican press about American tin
plate was ''all nonsense, and that
there was mo American tin plate to
be had at reasonable price, If at
all". Now comes the New York Press
with an offer TO fill the 'Herald's' Office
full of American tin plate at the same
price that English tin plate is sold.
The Herald, although it is a strong
free-trade paper, still has sense enough
left not to accept the offer. The peo-
pie will soon find that these tin plate
liars are reality. The tin duty is FIX
ture, and American tin plate will.
within the next two years, be manu-
factured in sufficient quantities to sup.
ply all our wants.-Blade,

The Preston National Bank Of Detroit.

This bank was established by David
Preston in 1882, under the firm name Of
David Preston & Co. In June, 1887, the
present organization was incorporated
under the National Bank Act of the
United States with the following board
of directors r. w. Gillett, F. w. Hayes,
c. A. Black, VIM. H. Elliott, James Z.
Davis, James d. Standish, H. S. Pingree,
A. L. F. White, w. d. Preston, w. X.
Burt and John Garfield, and the follow
ing officers: r. w. Gillett, President;
F. w. Hayes, Vice-President ]. P. Gil
more, Cashier. The capital of the bank
is 81, 1000, 900. Accounts of mercantile
and commercial houses, manufacturing
establishments, private individuals and
firms are received, and the bank dis
counts approved commercial paper, and
loans money on satisfactory names or col
laterals, at market rates. With repre-
sentative board of directors the needs of
those keeping commercial accounts with
this bank have careful, intelligent and
prompt consideration. 1t is the desire of
the management to make the bank an
important and successful factor in the
healthy development of the commerce
and manufactures of Detroit and Michi-
gan, and thereby promote the banks in
tercsts as we'll as the general prosperity
Widows and women having separate
estates, desiring to transact their own
financial business, are afforded every con-
venience of the banks several depart
ments, and its officers cheerfully render
assistance desired in the matter of buy
ing and selling investment securities, and
information upon subjects of business,

trustees, executors, administrators, guar
dians, agents, and others having funds in
their possession for investment or safe
keeping are received. and proper rates of

London, Paris, Berlin, Frankfort-on-the-
Main, Vienna, Amsterdam, Stockholm,
Rome, and all the other principal cities of
the European Continent. 1t alsoissues its

ing hours, and they have proven source

prising features of its large and con-
stantly increasing business. Il is the
only bank in the State prepared to do in
its own name, all branches of the bank
ing business. The building occupied is
one of the handsomest and best appoint

In Colton's Life of Henry Clay,
Volume 1. Mr. Clay states the average
depression in the value of property
under the state of things which existed
before the [Protectivel Tariff of 1924
came to the rescue of the country at
so per. cent. and that the revulsion of
1887 produced far greater havoc
than was experienced In the period
above mentioned. The ruin came
quick and fearful. There were few
that could save themselves. Proper

with at prices that were astounding,
and as for the currency, there was
scarcely any at all. In some parts OF
Pennsylvania the people were Obliged

When the Mckinley Bill went into
effect indigo prints were selling here at
about eight cents, and there were pre-
dictions made that the price would go
mp because Of the new duty. Within
week past 600 cases of indigo print
goods were sold on this market at five
and onefourth cents. They were
American goods. The price was not
wholly the result of the Mckinley bill,
but was due absolutely to the pro-
lection principle, under which large
plant could be established here to
make these goods and competition
among manufacturers for the home
market do the rest.-N. Y. Press.

We clip the following paragraph
from speech made by Genl. McKin-
ley, at the 50th anniversary of the
Neto York Tribune, on the tariff and
the misrepresentation by democratic
Journals The course of the free-trade
journals of the country is not novel In
our history. They have never failed
to make similar misrepresentation
and false prophecies when a new pro-
tective law was substituted or passed.
These critics and reviewers are as old
as the tariff, and will doubtless be
with us while tariffs last. For exam
pie, here is an editorial of New-York
evening journal of February 3, 1924,
written after the Committee of the
House of Representatives had reported
the Protective Tariff law of 1924; let
me read it.
Pass the tariff as reported by the
committee and you palsy the Nation.
Pass it. and where will you any longer
find occupants for your costly piles of
stores and dwelIing-houses2 Pass 1t,

ditional price for every article of cloth

every mouthful they eat or drink, save

The public should ever bear In mind,
says an exchange, that it is n con-
slant struggle with many country
publishers to keep their paper going
financially. The business is made up
80 s""h small accounts that many
people think that the trifiing amount
due from them does not matter nuvn
whether paid promptly or not, for
getting that there may be a thousand
entertaining the same idea, and thus
withholding from the publisher his
hard-earned dollars, while not partic-
ularly meaning to work a hardship.
The better plan is always to pay
in advance for a newspaper the mo-
ment the subscription expires. The
paper will be all the better for prompt
ness in this matter. for no man can
get up a spicy, interesting Journal If
his mind is harassed by bills coming
due, and which, from the negligence
of patrons, he Is unable to meet.
