The Chicago Times closes an edito-
rial article, GAS to Michigan" by say
ing that if Republican organs would
state the case fairly, let them drop
their present form of complaint and
say honestly: 1--WE happen to be
able under the old system in Michi-
gan by punching our maiorities to Sc
cure the entire electoral vote of the
people. Any change that is to de-
prive us of this right is contrary to
Republican doctrine. The chief end
of Republicanism is to steal presiden'
cies, and whatever may stand in he
way of this enterprise is to be denoun-
ced as unpatriotic and born of Golden
ism

cans to the reason and moral sense of
the community is but the voice of one
crying in political wilderness. The
only response is the echo of their own
cry. If the verdict of the election be
as / understand it, declaration that
Quay and the defaulting state and
city officers have done nothing worthy
of punishment, then l am no longer a
Republican 1t is a single voice but
it speaks for a host. Intelligent
Republicans must know that their
party can no longer appeal to the
feelings of the war, to the old and
just distrust of a slavery-led Democra-
cy, or to the conscience of the country
and that Governor Russell of Massachu-
sets, Governor Boies, of Iowa, and
Governor Campbell, of Ohio, the last
Lincoln Republicans, and the first
born only just before the war, no
more represent the old slavery Democ-
racy than Quay represents the old
Lincoln and Sumner Republicanism."

The Columbia Daily Calendar.

An old friend in new dress, and an ar
ticle that has come to be one of the indis-
pensables Of an editors desk, comes to
hand in the Columbia Daily Calendar for
1902. The calendar is in the form of
pad containing 367 leaves, each 5Ax2s inch
es; one for each day OF the year, to be re-
moved daily, and for the entire year. The
day of the week, of the month, and Of tho
year are given, and each slip bears short
paragraph pertaining to cycling or some
kindred subject At the bottom OF each
leaf is blank for memoranda, every leaf
being accessible at any time. The stand
is an entirely new departure, being made
of sheet metal finished in ivory black, and
is very compact. At the close Of the year
the stand will be available for another pad.
This is the seventh issue of this we'll
known calendar, yet all the matter is fresh
and new, having been carefully collected
from leading publications and prominent
writer's, most of it being specially written
for this purpose. 1t comprises notable
events in cycling, opinions Of physicians
and clergymen, hints about road making,
and numerous other topics.

B0rax and Tin-Plate.

Ex-Congressman Niedringhaus OF
st. Louis visited Chicago the other
day and secured about 81, 200 worth
of advertising for his granite ironware
by getting himself interviewed on the
tin-plate he isn't making. He said,
of course, that tin-plate can be made
in this country that high tariff taxes
are imposed for the benefit of labor,
and that when he helped to pass the
tin-plate tax he was opposed to it as a
politician, though in favor of it as a
business man and a citizen. On this
last point he is so interesting that we
quote him more at length:
The free-trade press has charged
me with advocating the imposition of
the increased tin-plate duties when 1
was in Congress. l did urge the in
creased tariff, but it was as a business
man and a citizen and not as a politi-
clan. Asa politician strongly urged
against the imposition of the high
rates in the Ways and Means Com
mittee conference. From political
standpoint l made a strong argument
against it. When I made my talk,
the committee drew letters on me from
my own firm, in which we had urged
on the Fiftieth Congress to put on
tin-plate and we would make it.
After | had gotten through my speech,
Mr.. Mckinley, like Napoleon that
he is, said: "Let US do right the first
thing even if the party did suffer at
first" and then / acknowledged that
l opposed the duty on tin-plate be-
cause the American people were not
yet educated up the point where they
could see the good the tariff would
do.
We are perfectly willing to give
Mr.. Niedringhaus the benefit of this
explanation, but how about borax ?
When he made his violent protest in
Congress against raising the duty on
imported borax, was il because he was
opposed to the production of borax in
this country. or because he objected to
being taxed for the benefit of the
Borax combine
Fortunately he answered the qucs
ton at the time, and bis answer is en-.
tirely satisfactory. He buys large
quantities of borax for use IN making
his granite ironware. He knew that
to increase the cost of the ware was to
diminish its sale and cut down his
profits. and he objected to having his
industry taxed for the benefit of an
other industry.
So do we all. That is the whole
case. The borax tax was fraud and
an outrage on the Niedringhaus gran
tie ironware industry. So is the tin
plate tax on every other industry.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1891-12-09

The fruit, meat, vegetable and fish
canning industries are now heavily
taxed under this policy of extortion.
So is every other industry, for tin.
plate is used in the industry of every
worker in the country. Whether the
worker is hod-carrier or a bank
president, tin-plate is used in prepar-
ing the food that keeps him at work,
and on it tax has been levied, not
for revenue, but for extortion-just
as the tax on borax was not for reve-
nue., but for extortion.
We can produce borax in this
country. We can produce tin-plate,
or cocoanuts or bread fruit. and We can
do it at profit to the producer, pro-
vided no one is allowed to buy in a
cheaper and better market. If the
fines against buying in the cheapest
and best market are made high
enough, there is no question of the
profits of those who control the high
est and worst market-none, Mr..
Niedringhaus, absolutely nonel
But there is just this about it. You
and Mr.. Carnegie claims that all
Americans who wish to buy foreign
goods when foreign goods are cheap
est and best are unpatriotic and trea-
sonable. You would have us believe
that after you have imported foreign
labor here and beat out its wages by
lockouts we ought to be forced to pay
enormous fines at the custom houses il
we try to escape your exactions by
buying cheaper and better goods else,
where.
But Americans have a right to
buy what they please and where they
please. You know what a percen-
tage means, Mr.. Niedringhaus, but
do you know what a right means
Whether you do or not it means some.
thing at all times, and in the end il
means that those who have put their
percentages in opposition to it will
have their percentages trampled on
