Mr. Bowscr arose, crossed his

marks OH the tariff, and then stated tina,

would prove beneficial to the Democrats
Fred S. Ford delivered practical adj

tax on the people. He used the wooler
cloth tariff tax as an illustration. His
points were we'll made, and he defined his
position very clearly.
DR.. Cunningham made few remarks

who took part In the recent Republican
banquet at Detroit. Ho believed that the
promised write up OF Alpena, by the De-

dodge to circulate Republican documents;
and expressed himself strongly against

What of the Future1

There are said to be, says the
Detroit Journal, 10000 unemployed
men in Chicago. In Indianapolis
there are rioting and bloodshed be-
cause of the strike of street car
employees. Nearly half n million of
English miners are about to strike
to prevent a reduction of wages,
the miners of Pennsylvania are paid
barely enough to live upon, and
they must rent company houses and
trade in company stores which rob
them as they please. The Penn
sylvania miners are practically the
slaves of one great corporation. In
Spain they are hunting down and
garroting those who agitate for a
change Of the social order. Anar-
chists are using dynamite in Paris.
The unemployed and starving of
Austria are turning to suicide for
relief. The throne of the kaiser is
being assailed by furious mobs Of
hungry men, who are impudently
told to emigrate if they are not
contented with things as they are
in Germany. Famine rules among
10000, 900 of the peasants in Russia
In all parts of the civilized world
poverty is taking on more hideous
forms, or else the newspapers are
more active in presenting the de-
tails of human misery.
Just above the unemployed and
starving are thousands in the social
scale for whom one turn of the re.
lentless wheel would mean sharp
hunger. By the greatest exertion
in the midst of anxiety and fear Of
want, they manage to hang on the
edge of responsibility. In some
respects theirs is the deepest suffer.

600 inhabitants have in London to
be fed and watered and provided
with air and light and room, but
100000 horses. IL these could be
dispended with, the saving would
be enormous.
Nor would the saving in keep be
the only convenience. Carriages
and carts without horses would take
just half the room now occupied.
Electrical traction would therefore
put an end to the congestion of
traffic which is so serious in many
thoroughfares. Instead of a cab,
we should have a light armchair
on wheels, with seat in front for
the driver, which would carry us in
safety at eight miles an hour
Quite as great is the need for a good
electric motor for homework. 1t
is no good to talk about setting up
in our houses neat little dynamos
that housemaid could learn how
to work in few hours. The house
maid never would learn, and we
should soon find the neat little dy-
namo standing rusty and dust
grimed in the area, forgotten of
man and maid.
If electricity is to be any good III
the house, it must come in ready in
a box-potted energy which can be
applied, like grease, wherever it is
wanted. In this shape it may have
a hundred uses. The footmsn, in
stead of turning the knife machine,
will connect it with the electrical
motor, the cook will use it to turn
tie handle Of the egg whisk, the
coffee rooster, the coffee grinder and
to turn the meat. In the laundry
it will do our mangling and ironing.
In the stable it will clip the horses,
and in the gardeners department
pump the water and cut the lawn.
Everything, in fact, that now re-
wolves by tho exertion Of muscular
effort, will be arranged to turn by
electricity. When the electricians
have given us the household motor,
and not till then shall we be able
to say that man has chained the
thunderbolt, and made it an obedi-
ent slave.-The Spectator.

Free Press, in this country that a
check be placed upon the food of
immigrants pouring to our shores
from abroad, are receiving significant
attention in England and upon the
continent. The peess on the other
side is alarmed at the prospect Of
1 the United States closing it's doors
| against the class of citizens which
l is undesirable in any civilized COM
munity. 1t is alarming that so
convenient and heretofore accom-
modating an asylum may declare
itself as not available to paupers,
the depraved and the lawlessly dis
posed from other sections of the
world.
In view of this threatened contin-
gency, one journal anxiously in
quires what will be done with hot
headed anarchists and socialists, as
it designaics them, if they cannot
be sent to- America. Ii breads to
see this avenue of deliverance, SO
long open as to have created the
impression of a pre-empted right
vested in the countries enjoying it,
closed against them. Certain it is
that no nation on earth could have
so long endured this great annual
influx of those coming here for no
other reason than that they are not
wanted at home. In our earliest
history there was little choice in the
matter, but now we are in a posi-
ton to call halt and there should
be no hest cation in doing so.
Thrifty immigrants, who come
Of their own volition and have
means for carrying out their prear-
rangel psrPosee, are always desira-

scrutiny. In many instances work.
men are imported because they
come for less wages and they crowd
Industrious citizens to the wall.
Invalids, pensioners and paupers are
sent over here because they are a
burden to their respective govern
ments. The lawless and revolu-
tionary are dumped upon us as a
means to secure safety on the part
of those who send them here. Let
the people of the old world look
after their own Objectionable citi-
zenship. England has already
taken up her cue from agitation in
America, and is using Immigration
laws for her own defense.

The wool industry of Great Brit.
ain is constantly on the increase,
though unprotected by tariff duties,
With a population averaging near
ly 300 to the square mile, she still
fluids room to pasture and feed 24O
sheep to the square mile, and the
number grows year by year. The
United States, with tariff on for
eign wool, has population Of about
% to the square mile, but only fif-
teen sheep, and the number is
dwindling annually. The facts
are painful, but nevertheless facts.
