4 POLITICAL MACHINE.
Insurance Men Condemn the st. Louis
Fire Department..


ST. LOUIS, Feb. 5.-For some time
past the large insurance companies Of
the country haye been demanding an iC-
crease OF fire rates i'll this city. This de-
mand has been emphasized since the re-
cent appointments Of Mayor Noonan
have proved the st. Louis fire depart
ment 10 be political machine. The
local board OF underwriters, however.
have been hampeled in the work of in
augurating higher rates by the presence
here OF larger number OF non-board
companies, who it was known would at
once begin cutting rates if an advance
was made. Unsuccessful efforts have
been made by the board companies to
get non board companies into the man-
agement. 1t Is now proposed to place
the city under a compact management OF
the Western Union Fire Insurance
organization to raise rates, Us they have
been raised in other cities. This, in the
opinion OF insurance men, would precip-
ifate rate war between the union aud
non union companies. Seventy.iive per
cent of the large fire companies in the
country are members of the Western
union, and especially those companies
represented in the various boards Of Ere
underwriters. Agents representing nom
board companies here were willing to
make an arrangement, but the mutual
companies held out and defeated the
plan. Insurance men in the board
claim that the only way out of this diff.
entity is to adopt the plan successfully
employed in Kansas City not long ago,
and freeze ont the small mutual com
panies and non board agencies by a cut
OF 50 per cent in rates.

A Good Ticket to Vote.

The candidates selected by the
Democrats for Mayor, Treasurer
and Justice of Peace are worthy of
the warm support of every Democrat
of the city. We believe they will
be elected by good majorities.
Andrew Harshaw, the nominee
for Mayor, has already served as
such, and proved an official who
looked closely after the interest of
the city. He has also served this
district as State Senator. His re-
cord is IA good one, and with him
for Mayor, Alpena will have a good
representative, who can be relied
upon to do his duty and administer
the duties of his Office faithfully
and impartially.
The nominee for Treasurer is
citizen whose reputation is faultless,
and in James H. Kerr the Democrats
have candidate they are well pleas
ed to vote for He is capable and
efficient, and will perform the duties
of Treasurer, honestly, courteously
and faithfully. The people can de-
pend upon him as an official who
will do his duty. He did not seek
the nomination, but was chosen by
his party. We heartily commend
him to the voters.
Henry Clothier is the nominee for
Justice of the Peace. He is we'll
acquainted with the duties of the
Office, having some time ago served
the people as Justice. The record
he then made is a good one, and the

Our Car Taxes Coffee.

The Free-Wool Bill.

Mr.. Sprenger's report on the
free-wool bill, says the N. Y. World,
is a strong document. So far as it
deals with raw material of the wool
en- manufacturers it is twice-told
tale.
The wool interest in the United
States has invariably prospered I'M
der low tariffs and has suffered when
high rates of duty obtained. In
1867, when the wool tariff act was
passed, as the report shows, only 10
per cent. of the wool used in the
country was imported, while in 1891
81 per cent. of the wool used came
from abroad. Moreover, the in
creased rate Of duty imposed by the
Mckinley bill was followed by a
fall in price.
The minority report meets this
important fact by the statement that
there has been fall in the price Of
foreign woods. While this is true,
the latter fall has not been as great
in proportion as that in the price
of domestic woods.
There is meaning in this that
has been often explained. The
American wool-grower is dependent
for his market upon the American
wooden manufacturer, and as the
American manufacturer must have
foreign woods for admixture with
the domestic product everything
that raises the price of his foreign
raw material, like an increase of
duty, tends to diminish his business
and to decrease his demands for do
nestle raw material.
This truth was long ago recognize
ed by high Republican authority.
In his annual message of 1874 Pres
ident Grant said:
The introduction, free of duty.
of such woods as we do not produce
would stimulate the manufacture
of goods requiring the use of those
we do produce, and therefore would
be a benefit to home production.
And again, speaking of protective
duties on imported raw material, the
same Republican authority said in
another message:
These duties not only come from
the consumers at home but act as
protection to foreign manufacturers
of the same completed articles in |
our own and distant markets.
Free wool will help the American
and the American
and will make good
clothes cheaper to everybody.

The tariff law enables certain
manufacturers to raise the price of
the goods they manufacture, and
thus they are empowered to levy a
tax on those who are forced to buy
their goods. The protected manu-
facturer is thereby enabled to exact
tribute from the laborers and farm
ers. He robs them of their earnings,
and the government gives him
authority to do so. 1t is an unjust
act, a crime against the people,
and Congress, with laws, binds the
people so that they are helpless and
become the spoil and prey of tariff
collecting thieves, who reap what
other people plant.

sent of Democratic House of
Representatives. Our imports of
coffee, on which this tax is levied by
the Cars ukase. are as follows:


The tax is levied on hides also, but
the lmportations of hides from these
countries are not worth mentioning
or the President would never have
dared to brave the New England
manufacturer. Nor are the impor-
tations of sugar on which the tax
is levied large. So the Sugar Trust
will have no protest to make. The
tax falls on coffee, and as there is
no coffee trust in this country, as
the people who use coffee cannot
form a trust, the President is not
afraid.
In levying these taxes by procla-
nation he has done something that
the Kaiser of Germany cannot do;
that no King Of England since the
time of Charles the First has ever
thought of doing. AS an accom-
