A HALF MILLION WoRkINeMEN.

They Speak for Protection Through
Their Representatives.
The following is letter addressed on
April 90, 1888, to the Hon. William
Mckinley by the officers of eight of
the leading trades organizations protest
ing against the passage of the Demo-
cratic Mills bill:
WASHINGTON, April 20, 1883.
Hon. William Mckinley:
DEAR SIR-Having seen by the papers that
Mr.. Mills and others, in their speeches In the
house Of representatives upon the tariff bill,
have asserted the wages paid to labor were no
higher In the United States than in Europe,
we, the undersigned, desire to state, through
you, to the members Of congress that such
statements are misleading and false. Wages
are higher in this country than In any other In
the world. Notwithstanding the fact that the
statements have been made by members on the
floor of the house of representatives that the
tariff only benefits the manufacturer, and
that they receive all the advantages from the
protection given by the government, we know
that we receive our share of the benefits of
protection in the industries we represent.
We therefore cmphatically protest against
any reduction of the duties that will bring us
on level with the low price paid for labor in
Europe. We insist upon the maintenance of a
strong protective tariff In order to maintain an
American standard of wages for American
workingmen. Respectfully yours,
William Weihe, President of Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers.
William Martin, Secretary of Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers.
John Conkling, Master Workman National AS

Morse's scarecrows.

Judge Morse's opinion of the old sol.
diers of Michigan is not very fatter-
ing one. He thinks lie can use the old
heroes as scarecrows. This is what he
said to Grand Rapids Democrat re-
porter:
II talked at a campfire last night and we
had splendid time, Tomorrow / 60 to
Mason to another soldier reunion. and re-
turn here tomorrow night. Then I go to
Copemish, In Manistee county, and talk to
the soldiers again. 1 find things looking
very nice, and l think we can manage to
scare them some before We get through
with it."
If he thinks he can use the ''boys in
blue" as scarcerows TO keep Republi-
cans out, he is much mistaken in the
character of both soldiers and Republic
cans. The Republican party has no
fear of the old soldiers.

OOOOO

When the official ballot has been
properly marked, 1t should be folded
90 as to conceal the face of it, but to
show the initials of the inspector on
the back. The voter then passes out of
the booth through the door opposite to
the one through which he entered and
hands his ballot to the inspector at the
ballot box who puts it into the box in
full view.
II voter spoils ballot in preparing
1t, he can get another by returning
the spoiled one to the inspector who
furnishes ballots. II he is unable to
read, so as to prepare his ballot, the
board of inspectors may designate
some one to help him. No electioneer-
Ing is allowed within 100 feet of the
polls.

Pretty Thin Done.

The Democratic state central COM
mittee are hard pressed for mud to
throw at John T. Rich. They are now
flooding the state with circulars charg-
ing him with riding on passes while
railroad commissioner. AS his duties
required him to go over every road in
the state during the year, it would
have cost the state thousands Of dol
lars If he had not used passes. Every
railroad commissioner, including the
present Democratic incumbent, has
used passes, and should use them as
much as railroad superintendent.
The commissioner is in a measure
superintendent of all the roads in the
state, and in looking after and en-
forcing regulations for the comfort
and safety of the people and the en-
ployes, it is proper that he should use
passes.

.Ixl JOHN L. RICH.

This gives his vote to Mr.. Rich. This
marking can be done with black
lead pencil or the stamp furnished by
the inspectors of election. Remember
that no other marks must be put by the
voter upon the official ballot, except
the crosses and the straight lines to
erase names.
Bear these two rules In mind:
To vote = straight Republican ticket put
. cross In the square at the head Of tho
ticket and nothing else.
To split Democratic ticket, put q cross
In the square at the head, mark out the
name OF tho Democratic candidate and
thcn put cross In the square before the
Republican candidate.
To make the subject palmer a
straight Republican ticket is here rep
resented:

The Republican Greed.

"We believe in the preservation Of
the American market for our American
producers and workmen. We believe
that the development of home manu-
facturers tends directly to promote the
interest of agriculture by furnishing a
home market for the products of the
farm, and thus emancipating our
farmers from the transportation
charges which they must pay when
their products seek distant markets"
Benjamin Harrison.

"The Republican party did not or
ganize for spoils; it assembled about an
altar of sacrifice and in sanctuary
beset with enemies. You have not
forgotten our battle cry-'Free speech,
. free press, free schools and free ter
titories.' We have widened the last
word; It is now a free nation. "-Ben-

vIGNETTE.
REPUBLICAN

Let tho voter make a cross In the
little square and that is all that is re-
quired Of him. That makes the official
ballot a straight Republican vote,
counting one for each candidate on the
Republican ticket.
If he wishes to vote split ticket he
can do it in this way: Suppose he
wants to vote the Democratic ticket,
but vote for the Republican candidate
for Governor. Then he marks the
Democratic ticket thus:

Don't.

From GoldthtOaite's Geographical Magazine
Don't say or write Austro- Hungary. The
best writer's prefer stria-Hungary.
Don't call the Chinese "Mongolians." 1t
is better to reserve the latter name for the
people who live north of China proper.
Don't speak of a native of China as a
Chinaman. You would not say that you
had an Ireland man digging in your gar
den. 1t is better to call John Chinese.
Don't, please don't, say that New York
city is located on Manhattan Island Such
a misuse of the verb ito locate" is trying to
the nerves Of the best photographers. Say
New York city is situated on Manhattan
Island.
Don't speak of China as our antipodes
Our antipodes is the point on the other side
of the world reached by straight line
passing through the plate on which we
stand and the centre of the earth. Our an
tipodes is in the ocean southwest of Aus
tralia.
Don't forget that Oriental names ending
in ian" have the accent almost invariably
on the last syllable, as Teheran, Beloo-
chistan.
Don't imagine that the spelling of geo.
graphical names in the newspapers is ne
cessarily accurate. 1t is safe to say that
one-half Of the place names in Africa and
Asia, as they appear in our daily press. are
mangled almost beyond recognition by the
cable or the type.
Don't call Bermuda a North American
island" as a writer in newspaper did the
other day. There are plenty of North
American islands, but Bermuda is not one
of them. 1t is an oceanic, not continental
island.
Don't be mystified il on one map in your
atlas Hudson bay seems TO be larger than
the Gulf of Mexico, while on another sheet
of the same atlas the Gulf of Mexico ap-
pears larger than Hudson bay. The tapa-
rent discrepancy is doubtless due to the
different map projections employed. You
know, for instance, that areas far removed
from the equator are very much exaggera-
ted as they appear on maps Of the Mercator
projection.
Don't say that the compass points to the
true north, for it doesn't, except in certain
places. The compass points to the magnetic
north, which is at present considerably west
of the north pole When Lieut.. Greely was
at Lady FRANKLIN bay the declination of his
needle was found to be very great, the nee
die pointing toward the magnetic pole in a
direction nearly southwest.
Don't make the mistake some people do of
thinking the word "alluvium" to be
synonymous with ''soil" Only those soils
which are the result of the deposition of
sediment by running water can properly be
called alluvial soils.
