FOREIGN WOODS.
Sc marked Z means higher,

From the above prices the following OBJ
servations are to be made: ID That Ohio
and Michigan woods are lower now than
in August, 1890, by from TO 24 cents per
pound; (2) that Texas and other Western
woods, commonly called territory woods,
have either remained constant or have
risen from J. to 2 cents per pounds and,
(3) that foreign woods command a higher
price in our markets by from = to / cent
per pound than last year.
The above figures establish without
grown in Ohio and Michigan.
To sum up, Ohio and Michigan woods
have fallen in price, because the Ameri-
can manufacturers of woolen woods
found that, oy combing or mixing foreign
with territory wools, they could produce
the class OF goods in demand. For tn
same reason territory and foreign voc
have remained steady, or risen in price.

The Michigan Plan.

As already noted in THE CITIZEN, the
Michigan legislators have in hand bill
providing that all but two Of the presi-
Dental electors of that state shall be
chosen by congressional districts, the two
remaining to be chosen at large as all the
electors are at present. 1t is probable
that in this way Michigan would return
some democratic electors to break the
uniform success of the republicans in
Michigan since it became a state and
possibly to turn the scale in favor of a
democratic president in 1892.
1t is urged against the bill that it is
unconstitutional; that
"lf the power of the legislature to
direct how the state shall appoint is not
limited to the appointment of all the
electors by the state, but if such appoint
ments of electors can be delegated to the
several congressional districts and sec
tions of the state, than there can be no
limit, and one district, for instance,
might select all OF such electors"
This would seem to have some force,
but there are other objections far more
weighty.
In the first place, the scheme is not a
sincere attempt to bring the election OF
president closer to the people, to more ac-
curately get their intention, but to gain
a temporary partisan advantage. This
is dangerous attempt, because it will
surely be initiated, If the bill is passed, in
other states where the advantage will be
wholly with the republicans. Already
there 10 talk Of similar bill elsewhere
and the Michigan bill may fail of pas,
sage while its imitators may become laws
Moreover, such law is unnecessary in
any state. The country is safe to the
democratic party in 1892 if it pursues a
conservative course along the line of Its
great principles. Especially is such a
law out of place in Michigan, where the
gain to the democrats has been steady
and astonishing. We believe that stat,
has given as high as 10000 republican
majority, but 5000 is now considered {
victory by that party, and even tha
figure is not to be certainly counted on
the present legislature and governor be
Ing democratic. 1t is apparent. there
fore, that the democrats OF Michg at
had only to go on as they were going
attempting no short cuts to victory, tax
ing no unfair advantages, and winning
and holding confidence by a conservative
course, free of sensational departures
from time-honored and approved politi
cal customs.
