WHOLE NUMBER 1863

Never in the history of this county
was ii SO necessary To send men To con-
gress who are SOUND on the questions
of finance and tariff, as the present.
Think of this before you deposit your
ballot next Tuesday. Henry f. Thomas
represents honest mOney-GOOD money
and tariff which will protect the
American wOrkingmen and the markets
of the American farmer.
While turning the corner above his
residence, on Monday, Mr.. M. b. Will
sons carriage was overturned and he
thrown out with considerable force, the
carriage on top of him. Emmett
Northrup happened to be near the spot
and caught the horse by the bits before
it could gather headway else the mis-
hap might have been serious.
Wages are cheaper in Europe than in
America We all agree on that. Now,
the question for us To settle next Tues
day is, whether the factories of Europe
or America shall run. If you desire
the former vote the Democratic free
trade ticket; if the latter, vote the
Republican ticket, which stands for
the protection of American industries.
Hon. Henry F. Thomas, accompanied
by Mr.. Nj. V. Gore of Buchanan, spent
a part OF the day last Wednesday in
this village, going hence to Covert,
South Haven and other places where
they were met with the same enthusias-
tic crowds as has characterized all their
meetings during the canvass. Mr..
Thomas makes solid friends wherever
he goes.
We very much mistake the temper
and views of the farmers and mechan-
les OF Van Buren, county if they do not
give Free Trader Wildcat Money Yaple
the deadly black eye on Tuesday next
vote for him means a vote for clos
ing our mills and factories and throw
ing our markets open to the competi-
ton of the pauper labor of Europe.
Vote for Henry +. Thomas for congress.
Twas an immense throng that greeted
Senator Stockbridge and E. l.. Hamil-
ton at LongwelPs opera house last
Thursday evening. Every inch of space
was literally packed, while scores of
people were turned away from the
doors. We were glad to note quite a
sprinkling of Democrats in the audience,
and by their thoughtful countenances
it could be inferred that the solid
truths that Hamilton gave them were
having a salutary effect.
Last Thursday morning, while at his
work in the Beckwith factory in Dowa-
giac, Will Barton of this place met with
a serious and painful accident. In
reaching past a rapidly running belt
for an oil can, the sleeve of his shirt
was caught, his arm drawn down to the
lower pulley, and the flesh and muscles
of the forearm were terribly torn and
ms la1 H..
ever, but will have to take an enforced
six weeks leave of work.
The ST. Joseph Bchloride of Gold
Co. some time since offered to treat free
of expense one patient sent by the w.
G.. Il. u, the Epworth League and the
Y. p. ). G.. E., and we gave these organ
iZations due notice of the proposal.
We have yet to learn that any move
has been made in this direction. Ger
tainly there is abundant material here
abouts, but perhaps it is being held AS
a horrible example" and for the edfica-
tion of the youth of our village.
Last Friday night was "a howler."
The wind blew IA terrific gale nearly ali
night, and attained at one time, it is
said, velocity of 60 miles an hour.
Anything and everything with two ends
to it was blown from its moorings-
gates, chimney tops, signs, awnings, &C.,
being scattered to the four winds"
While the gale was at its hight the
chimney in Ed Shows residence took
fire, and the house was saved from
destruction by the merest scratch.
Mrs. James Titus, formerly Miss
Christie of Kendalls, committed suicide
at an early hour last Sunday morning
L. Il, 81, Il
with revolver at rooms occupied by
herself and sister, Miss Minnie Christie,
on Water street, Kalamazoo. About
one year ago her husband, James Titus,
died after long illness, leaving her
with two small boys. These she had
recently sent to the Children's Home at
st. Joseph, and from that time she had
been respondent. The remains were
taken to her home at Kendalls for
burial.
The farmers of Michigan are getting
from $40 to $l2 ton for their hay,
while just across the line in Canada
those who raise it are glad to take 80 a
ton. The reason is that the Michigan
farmer is protected by the Mckinley
bill from the competition of the Cana
dian farmer. The same is true of many
other articles of farm produce. Yet the
Democrats are hattering themselves
that the farmers of Michigan who have
hitherto voted the Republican ticket
with regularity are next week going to
drive three or four miles or more to tie
polls in order to vote for the privilege
of selling their hay for SO and SO instead
of $40 or S12 The "apathy" of the Re-
publican farmer has not yet reached
this stage of imbecilty or paresis. Van
fa,,,,a,.S will voto for Haprv
Thomas for Congress and for the pro-
lection of their home markets.
