A careful estimate of the saloon property
stock and labor must be expended annually
before profit is reckoned. and this amount
Of money is annually paid over the bar, and
sQuandered. An almost equally large sum
Another large sum is taken out of the body
polite in police service and i'm the prOsecu-
ton of crime, which is a saloon resultant.
Yet the city offers and with good judgment
order to increase the business of the place.
Its not what you earn but what you save
that makes you rich," has passed into an AK
iom. Yet, in our dealings with the saloon
question we deal in the matter of earnings
exclusive of savings. The channels of trade
that are checked by hard times are not those
Of the saloon but legitimate business. The
opening of mandatory that would do
business of $50, 900 year would be an ac-
guisition, matter of municipal rejoicing,
but II it's not what is earned but what is
saved that enriches, why would it not be
good plan for the city to begin at the saving
part of municipal development and increase
in wealth by curtailing the saloon expend-
lures, shear 1t of its patronage, or forever
close thems The saloon of itself is the most
wilful lawbrcaker. The statute against
screens Is dead letter. Selling to minors
aad habitual drunkards is clearly disregard
ed. There is case in question in this city,
where the county supports the wife of
drunkard, who, being pensioner, spends
the reward of generous government i'm the
saloon. The u. s. government indirectly
pays the whisky seller the pension through
the person of a once brave soldier, and the
sounty is taxed for the support of his wife.
The privileged class i'm this case is the
salo0nkeeper, and the people contribute
both directly and indirectly to the privilege
enjoyed. Our neighbor county, Gratiot has
declared against saloons and now Clinton
county is OH the move against them, and IL
is little wonder that Owosso is overrIn with
saloons, until now we have one for every
$50 Of our population, or perhaps one for
every 100 of our voting population, and the
assessment per capita on these one hundred
is not less than $50 per annum. The assess
ment is too high for people to submit to and
the question is whether the parasite shall
sap Owosso or OwOssO strangle the business
by rigid enforcement of the law, or the ad-
dition of laws within our reach in the local
sption act.

Hon. j. G. Burrows made speech ON the
Springer free wool bill which should be read
by every sheep raiser In Michigan. THE
TINES considers that Michigan's interests
In this bill are directly attacked, for there
are but three states that exceed Michigan in
the value of sheep raised, Ohio, California.
Texas and Michigan leading In the order
named. $7,560, 33s of the wealth i'm Mchi-
gan being invested I'm sheep, and it is either
through ignorance or else betrayal of ones
own state, that any man would advocate
free wool for this state. The Mckinley bill
had this effect in the woolen schedule, that
1t raised the price of wool to the extent of
the tariff. This is fact easily seen by COM
pairing the market prices in the Mark Lane
Express with American market reports.
Again by the fact that exporters choose to
sell wool in this market, for by so doing
they made an equal or greater profit after
paying the tariff than they could If they had
sold III Liverpool or London, if not the car
goes would have gone elsewhere. The in
creased duties on wool have been fifteen
million of dollars, which has gone into the
treasury of the U. S., and an equal sum in
to the pockets of the sheep raisers i'm the u.
s. The claim that the Mckinley bill has
not increased the price of wool is an ex-
preston intending to convey that it has been
of no benefit, while as a matter of fact in
the wool markets all over the world, the
price has been lowered, in the u. s. alone
The sheep interest in the u. 5. has grown
with favorable tariff legislation, and de-
creased with unfavorable legislation. Our
sheep product increased from seventy-fOur
million dollars in 1871 to one hundred and
twenty-fOur million dollars in 1888 Un-
favorable legislation was followed by the
menacing attitude of President Cleveland so
that the value of the product declined to
eighty-nine million dollars in 1888. With
the accession of the Harrison administration
the value crept up one hundred million dol
lars in 1890, and when the Mckinley bill
was passed and took effect the value of
sheep rose to one hundred and eight million
dollars in 1891, and July 1, 1892, was reck-
oned at one hundred and sixteen million
dollars. These statistics being from the re-
port of the Agricultural Department, are
not to be gainsaid. Free wool means $780,
900 less wealth for Shiawassee county each
year, and it is an industry in measure that
cannot be replaced.

'sTHE TINES has either recently changed
its opinion, or else needs to brush up on the
geography of the United States. The two
following extracts from its editorial columns
do not exactly harmonze: 1T is a curious
fact that the brains of the democratic party
are located south of the Ohio river" The
second: "The greatest democrat to-day is
Jas. K. Campbell" Ex-Governor of Ohio.
The Press in the above quotation confirms
the statement concerning the aggregation of
brains south of the Ohio river. The lead
ers of the democratic party in statesman
ship and ability are southern men, and the
mere fact Of some able men like Campbell,
Thurman ct al. in the north, does not ap-
proach the number of men i'm point of abil-
ity who are southern 'bon.' Carlisle, Water
son and Mills, have been the champions of
free trade, and this is and has been the dem
ocratic rallying cry. There is not man in
the party north who has approached these
men in leadership along this line. If the
democratic party favOrs free silver it is
Bland, of Missouri, who is and has been its
champion. German, man of southern
sympathies, was the successful leader in the
defeat of the Lodge election bill. This con-
ditiOn OF affairs is but the natural outcome
of circumstances. The Southerner is sin
cere. The northern democrat to succeed
must be demagogue, resort to deceptiOns
and combinations devoid of principle. In
New York it is Hill with an alliance of the
saloons and Tammany hall. Even the bet
ter elements of his own party are eliminat-
ed. TO expect craftsmanship from Hill and
his followers, would be to expect prime
quality Of figs to grow upon Canada thistles.
In Michigan success was attained by an alli-
ance with certain agricultural organizations.
The result was death to the latter and Off
ces for democrats. The Miner bill was con-
ceived with all attempt to represent ma
jority vote in the electoral college from a
minority party in the state. Effect follows
cause, just as sure in politics as in the do
aain of philosophy, and no good can come
from Hillism and MinerIsm, nor statesman
ship from the party of evasions and make
shifts.

A free trader is naturally person Of mar
row views. He would have no protective
tariff unless it brought his particular pocket
book money directly. He is constitutional
ly near sighted and can not look at system
that enriches a nation and every citizen
either directly or indirectly. A free trader
might see that a factory or an industry
helped his own town but none were ever
wise enough to see that factory or an in
dustry 25 miles away was benefit to the
state and nation. The free trader seems to
have a comprehension confined to about the
same area as the barnyard fowl, which is an
emblem of democracy. While the republi-
can party through its wider views chooses
the American eagle.

IT, Considering its size, a sparrow has
very highly developed nervous system
Birds have never been given credit for the
amount of brains which they really possess.
Because they do not know how to fetch and
carry like dogs, OF play with each others
tails like monkeys, or run after piece Of
string around the room like cat, they are
voted slow of comprehension.
This, however, is to look at the question
from a human point Of view altogether.
The fact is that we know less of birds than
of any other creatures. They often live
quite close to us; they spend all their days
in cage within yard of our armchairs,
and yet they and we are almost complete
strangers. We never get at their inner life
and they probably never get at ours, or
they would trust us more. Still within
its feathered breast stirs history unex-
pressed" and mankind has not yet learned
enough of bird language to comprehend
the meaning of chirps and thrills and war
