The Miner Electoral Law.
)m Tuesdays Detroit Tribune.

from tuesdays 8 Detroit Tribune.
Proceedings were begun yesterday in the
Supreme Court of Michigan on behalf of the
electors nominated by the republican con-
vention to test and ascertain the validity of
the Miner electoral law passed by the late
democratic legislature. The action thus in
itiated by petition for a mandamus COM
manding the secretary of state to issue no
tices of election under the old electoral
law is of the highest Importance not only to
the people of Michigan but also to citizens
of the United States. For the first time i'm
the history of the country has the district
system of choosing presidential electors
been attacked in the courts on the ground
of uncOnstitutiOnality. Should the present
litigation reach the Supreme Court of the
United States an adjudication may be had
of the momentous question whether choice
of electors by districts and arbitrary frac-
tions of state is such choice by states as
is contemplated by the federal constitution.
So far as the Supreme Court of Michigan is
concerned, however, the litigation may be
deteonined without regard to the national
constitutional questions involved. for the
petitioners allege that the law is in conflict
with the state constitution as well as with
federal laws and the federal constitutions
With some few exceptions the points made
against the Miner law by the petitioners
have been heretofore discussed at length in
the columns of The Tribune, but very
brief summary will not be out of place. 1t
is alleged that the Miner law is unconstitu-
tional, defective, illegal and void for the
following reasons:
1. 1t contains no provision for notice of
election.
2. 1t contains no provision nor is there
provision elsewhere for the canvass of votes
cast in the electoral districts and parts of
districts into which Wayne Co is divided nor
is there provision for transmission to any
officer of statement of the votes cast in
such districts or parts of districts.
3. The provision for alternate electors is
not covered by the title.
A. 1t contains no provisions for the filling
of vacancies In the contingency of death or

Major Mckinley says the tariff is doing
its own talking and the following bill OF
particulars is herewith filed in objection to a
free trade policy:
1t has built towns and cities all over the
Union.
Since 1860 it has more than doubled our
trade with foreign nations.
1t has diversified our industries.
1t has given employment to our own
people.
1t has increased our manufactures five
fold in twenty-five years.
1t has opened up our natural resources.
1t has benefited labor on farm and in
factories, by applying it to unlock our
natural resources.
1t has, through competition, reduced prices
of every useful article to the consumer.
1t has made farming profitable, by build
ing factories near to the farm.
1t has made a home market for ninety per
cent of all we raise and manufacture.
1t has made the United States national
workshop.
1t has developed the ingenuity of our
people.
1t has made ten millions of people GUS
toners instead of competitors of the Amer
ican farmers.
1t has given homes and employment to
5000, 900 foreigners.
1t has protected American labor from be-
ing forced to compete with cheap foreign
labor.
1t is constantly opening new avenues for
the employment of our people.
1t has prevented an inundation of foreign
made goods to take the place of our own
manufacture.
1t has added to the comforts of wor rking-
men in that it gives them living wages.
1t has reduced pauperism to minimum.
The United States has fewer paupers than
Scotland, an insignificant province of Great
Britain.
1t has enabled American workingmen to
deposit over sc, 600, 900, 900 in savings banks.
1t is the guarantee and safety of the nation
in the time of war. With our present facilities
we can manufacture all munitions of war
fare as well as articles of subsistence for our
people.
1t has crowded the national treasury with
money.
1t has reduced the national debt in twenty
years nearly two billion dollars.
1t has quadrupled our railroads in quarter
of century.
1t has enabled the United States to sur
pass all other nations in growth and pros

1t has made the United States the richest
nation on the globe.
1t has made the United States the leading
manufacturing nation i'm the world.
1t has made the United States the most
Independent nation on earth.

1t has given us the highest possible credit
abroad.
Through the prosperity of our people it has
raised the standard of education.

The last three questions here raised can
not be determined short of the Supreme
Court at Washington, but the others are
purely State questions, on which square
decision may be expected from the State
court. That the opinion of the court, what
ever it may be, is awaited with great inter
