c. A. Whittem ore Discusses the Theory
of the Mound Builders.
c. A. whittemore discussed the
Mound Builders before the Kent Scien-
tific Institute last night in the high
school building. He said there was q
time WITHIN the memory of ali present
when the builders OF the mounds were
supposed to be- a race of men entirely
separate and above the Indians. That
they possessed an artistic skill far be-
yond the savages of our day. Some
tablets found at Wilmington, Ohio,
have caused q large amount of discus
sion. One of them is of Waverly sand
stone. One side of it Is covered with
symbols, among which are two grin
ming idols with bodies terminating like
the body Il fish. On the other SIDE ls
the figure Of a man holding spear in
one hand and some kind of weapon
in the other. Near the center is the
figure of . double headed serpent.

Our democratic and populite oppo-
nsnts profess great condolences that the
democratic state ticket, with Its popu-
lite barnacles attached. will DO elected.
THIS confidence IS not the product OF
study nor painstaking comparisons,
but - simply the expression OF their
partisan hopes and ambitions. There
il really no substantial foundation for
any such anticipation. The republi-
can party - unified and impregnabie.
There are no dissenaons, no becker
ings. no splits. Every republican 10
CONSCIOUSLY proud OF bis party and de-
termined To vote 10 install Its nominees
In all the state Offices.
With such force TO meet and over

will redeem Itself from democracy as
naturally and easily as a duck moves

down the normal republican majority

This talk Is simply the ssfety-valve es-
cape of political lunacy. The upper
peninsula 10 good for 5000 republican
majority and 10 will be met at the
straits by q majority of 10000 in the
lower peninsula.
Judge Morse has not developed the
strength he WAS expected TO develop.
Outside the old line democrats there
are few to announce themselves as has
supporters. lie will have the normal
democratic vote, but If be were to have
10000 votes IN addition he would then
have . minority in the fiual canvass.
His opponent, John II. Rich, has been
a better candidate than many republi-
cans thought he would prove to be.
He is strong and self-reliant. and these
qualities commend him TO the protec-
touist in the cities. and the farmers in
the rural communities. His record as
apublic official has counted nightly
in his favor. The democrats threat
ened to assail him. but their movement
in that direction was anticipated. The
result has been that he IL admittedly
honest, faithful and capable. Without
a vulnerable point he stands as the
representative OF one OF the cleanesi
campaigns ever wsged in Michigan.
There is, therefore, little hope fol

PROTECTION CONSTITUTIONAL.

IL
In his article In the November
Michigan Law Journal, the Hon. Ed
ward Cahill treats this question so thor
oughly that there would seem to be
left nothing to add. Although the
democrats are saying as little as posi-
BILE upon this question, hoping, no
doubt, that it will sink out of sight be-
fore election day, still it is the purpose
OF the republican, press to keep it be-
fore the people. because Of the emphs-
sis which is placed upon it IN the tariff
plank of the democratic platform. Mr..
Cahill significantly remarks that, "Af-
ter more than one hundred years Of
tariff legislation in which the doctrine
of protection to home industries has
never been wholly ignored, a discus
sion of the constitutionslity of such
legislation would seem to come too
late" lie points out that, according
to the rules laid down by all writers
upon constitutional law, Judge Cooley
among the rest, the constitution must
be interpreted by "contemporsneous
construction" or, in other words, We
must look to the intentions of the
trainers of the constitution in order to
determine what construction must be
placed upon its provisions. Judge Ca
hill does this, and shows beyond ques-
ton that Washington. Jefferson,
the boasted parent OF democ-
rscy; Madison, Monroe, Hamilton
and others, not only did not
deem protective tariff uncon stisu-
tionsl, but svowed that union of the
states aud the creation of the constitu-
ton were absolutely necessary in or
der TO pass tariff for the protection
Of American industries and American
labor. Both Webster aud Clay are
quoted in support of the republican in
depreciation Of the constitution. Judge
Cshill gives some very coSent reasons
for the retention OF protective duties.

JUST ONE DISTANCE.


Less than six months ago wood
carver from Holland arrived IN this
city. lie was not . progressing man
IN appearance and his skull was doubted
by those to whom he applied for work.
Upon the second or third application
be vas successful and was gwen q
bench at 50 . week. To him the wages
were prlncely. He felicitated himself
on his good fortune and was happy as
q king when an envelope containing
bis first weeks wages Was handed TO
hlm.
He WAS given work more IS matter
of charity than because his services
were needed. But at the end OF the
first week. after having been ridiculed
more or less by his associates because
of bis ungainly appearance, he had de-
monstrated that he was one OF the
most skillful hand carvers in the city.
The employers recognized this and had
decided 10 increase his wages without
telling him of the fact until his second
envelope was handed to him. The
man was unable TO speak word OF
English. but he gathered from his fell
lows that the 50 be had received for
his first weeks work was less than paid
to others. He had looked upon that
80 as weekly fortune.
gIWhen he learned that it was not one
half what inferior carvers received he
demanded an increase. and because of
his skill he Was paid the highest wage.
Within two months he had sent for his
brother in Holland and paid his pas
sage over. He has since made rrst
payment on q contract for land. He
receives the very highest wages paid
for skilled hand carvers. He has
grown to look upon his wages now as a
normal compensation. He is imbued
with the idea that regardless Of the
cost of raw material aud the expense
of marketing he ought to have more
wages.
The lesson taught by his case is so
significant that 1t must not escape no.
tee. He came here q poor. unknown
Hollander, with no capital but his skill
as carver. He secured employment
at 50 o week, and to him that sum
seemed fabulously large. 1t exceeded
anything he had dreamed of in the
country where his trade was acquired.
In less than six months ne is one of
the best paid hand carvers in this city;
has begun to pay for home and saved
enough to send for his brother and pay
his passage.
There is no country on earth where
the same experience can be duplicated.
Our democratic friends can conjure no
instance like this for free trade Eng
land. They will tell us this Is not the
result of protection. But if not the re-
suit of protection, why cannot the
same thing be done where all other
things except protection are equal'
They would have Us experiment for the
benefit of foreign countries while we are
certainly better of under q protective
! policy than they, and 1t Is difficult
| problem to solve how We can make
ourselves more prosperous by adopt
ing q policy that cripples their indus
tries and starves their workingmen.
