Democracy Floored.

The Supreme Court of Michigan paid
its respects to the squawbuck legisla-
ture in most emphatic manner last
Thursday and put to sleep for all time
two acts which together constituted the
apple of the eye of the Democratic
party in Michigan and more particularly
those Democrats who had United States
senatorial bees buzZing in their bonnets
The Infamous gerrymander of the Re-
preventative and Senatorial districts of
Michigan are declared unconstitutional.
From whatever point of view this de-
cision may be regarded, Democrats can
find no comfort in it, The prospect
now before them is dark and gloomy
Their barefaced attempt to steal the
next legislature and United States
senator has been foiled. Their boosted
fairness in redistrcting the state has
been proven a false pretense, and out
of the mouths of chief justice and
justice of their own party their political
rascality has been condemned. More

must be an extra session of the legsla-
ture of 1891 This will occasion an adj
ditional expenditure of thousands of
dollars and ruin the record of economy
with which the Winans administration
is endeavoring to deceive the people.
For this reason Governor Winans is
averse to calling a special session of the
legislature. And if he should recon
vene the legislature the Democrats will
not have a partisan majority in the
senate, and they cannot pass new re-
apportionment acts without consulting
the Republicans. Two Democratic
senators, Wisner and Bastone, have
resigned, and there is probable
vacancy in Fridlender's district owing
to change of residence. The Democrats
cannot carry more than one of three
vacant constituencies. If they do that
they will have but sixteen senator's, or
if Fridlender takes his seat again,
seventeen, including one independent,
who has always acted with the Demo
crate. This is bare majority, and it
is doubtful if the Democrats can do any

Senator Aldrich's Speech.

Senator Aldrichs recent speech in the
United States Senate, designed to ac-
company the report of the finance sub
committee of that body on the course
of wages and prices under the Mckinley
law, fifty interpreted in accordance
with experience and common sense
principles the facts and figures of that
report. Perhaps his two most effective
arguments were his appeal to the ex-
perience of the people for confirmation
of the committees finding as to the re-
duced cost of living under protection
and his remarkably clear exposure of
the newly avowed free trade attitude
of the Democracy. 1t was almost as
plainly expressed as if he had said to a
farmer: you know your corn is doing
splendidly with this fence around it;
now what do you think of this fellow
who says that your fence is unconstitu-
tionalg"
The finance subcommittee report,
it will be remembered, was unan-
nous one, Senators Carlisle'and Harris,
Democrats, concurring with the Re-
publican Senators as to the facts there
in set forth. 1t showed that between
1889 and 1891 there had been an average
decline of 0.64 per cent. in the prices of
pa articles, including all the necessities
and many of the means of refinement
of life; that the average advance in
wages had been 0.75 per cent, and that,
in spite of an average rise of 1867 per
cent. in the prices of farm products,
the cost of living of a family in ordinary
circumstances was GA per cent. less.
In view of these findings Senator
Aldrich was fully justified in making
the bold and very significant assertion
that there never was n time in the
history of this country when the
purchasing power of its peoples wages
was SO great as it is now. Protection
was extended by the Mckinley law to
articles in common use which had not
been duly protected before, and the re-
suit is just what the friends of protec-
ton predicted. These articles are made
here, and domestic production is bring
ing down their prices steadily and
gradually. If one or two such articles
cost still more, the great bulk of them
cost less, and the average cost is less;
and the decreased cost of the many
articles shows that the cost of the few
will also decrease gradually and be less
than before.
The whole speech was full of courage
1t was not an apology or defense of the
Mckinley law, but an aggressive raid
upon the rear of its retreating foes, a
series of charges upon their batteries
claim to be the friend of the laboring
man was exposed by Mr.. Aldrich's at
tack on the Incidental protection or
labor cost tariff idea, on which Mr..
Cleveland was nominated in 1884. The
Democracy then proposed to protect
articles on which there was difference
in labor cost, but to allow no protection
for the other elements of the cost of
projections; to wit, clerk and bookkeep-
er hire, insurance and interest, salaries
of superintendent and last, but not
least, raw materials. Yet all these
items are as much entitled to labor pro-
lection as labor itself The clerks and
bookkeepers are workingmen, the in
surance clerks and the bank clerks and

out I'm each State: Maine, eight
thousand; pMass.. twelve thousand;
New Hampshire. nine thousand; Yer

thousand.
OF this number $1,000 were locked out
and the remaining Al, 900 were ordered out
by the unions. The list includes about
5000 paving stone cutters, who
struck In sympathy with the granite
cutters. A number OF new strikes were
ordered this moring from headquarters in
this city. The men employed at John
