Future of the Phonograph.

Major A. w. Clancy of Des Moines,
Iowa. president of the National Phon-
ograph company registered IN the
Morton yesterday. 1.-The time Is not
far distant" said he "when the phon-
ogrsph will be as commonly used as
the typewriter and will be used when
ever the typewriter is used. There are
improvements being made every year
that make the instrument more prac-
teal. Many people are unable to
think we'll wnen debating TO a steno-
grapher. They are sometimes afraid
to use just the expression they wish
but when they talk to pbonograph
they will have no hesitancy in that
regard. The time is not far distant
when the songs of noted singers will
be produced IN our own homes with
all the force and distinctuess of the
original rendition.

American marxets protected and the

are building factories while the Eng

IN Nottingham, the lace factories OF
that ones imperial city or industrial
activity are being closed. Not only
are the spindlss aud looms stopped,
but The factories are left tenantless.
Today the Nottingham lace industry
IS being transferred 10 America. The
machinery IS being packed and soon

TINS means that the makers OF Not
ungham lace cannot compete with toe
American makers. because they cannot
pay the tariff imposed q protec! the
American operatives. Therefore they

fhe SINGLE effect OF these transfers IS
20 keep in this country the money

Of thousands OF dollars being sent TO
clOthe and feed the lace weavers OF
Nottingham, the money Will be paid to
American operatives who will buy IN
American stores, ride on American rail-
road trains, and contribute TO Amerl-

tariff this could not be accomplished.
With protective tariff It is accom-

ter that inspires confidence. The

until the victory shall DO won at the
polls in November.
Mr.. Rich was IN one of his happiest
moods and his speech bristled with IN
controvertible facts. His allusion to
Grand Rapids as the Chicago OF Mlchi-
gan and his tribute to the energy and
push OF our citizens was a pretty COM
pliment aud il was received with every
manifestation of approval.
Mr.. Fassett. the principal speaker,
was received in a cordial manner by
the vast audience ard his facehous
reference TO his early experiences rs g
teacher in this city served TO introduce
the powerful defense of the tariff that
followed. The lateness of the hour at
which the stenographic report of his
speech was received precludes the
making of extended comment, but the
expressions OF approval heard on every
hand at the close of the meeting leave
no doubt as to It's convincing power and
mastery eloquence. 1t was a fine
etfort-worthy the time, place and cir
cumstance.
Ex-Governor Luce closed the great
meeting with few timely remarksand
one of the most glorious days in Mlchi-
gan's political history came to a close.

met seems equally unwilling to blot out
his record; because, forsooth, it forms
part of his energetic Life. / notice a
remark made by one of our prominent
generals In Richmond, Va, In reply to
a speech of a late confederate officer
Bradley I. johnson, which may at this
juncture be only anticipatory, yea the
sentiment is growing into favor. He
says, ''The war through which we
passed developed and proved On both
sides the noble qualities of American
manhood. 1t has left TO us soldiers
once foes, now friends, q memory OF
hard-fought fields, of fearful sacrifices,
Of heroic valor, and has taught a lesson
to be transmitted to our children that
divided we were terrible, united we are
forever ~invincible."
This speech, which was made to
southern soldiers with demonstrations
of applause, does not imply the re-
preston of history; but on the contrary
a memory-sacrihce, valor and lessons
10 be transmitted. 1t is the very thing
WE propose by a Memorial day, a conn
memoration of sacrifices of valor, and
the constant teaching to our children
and grandchildren those lessons whose
primary record was written in toll and
suffering, and, very greatly, in blood
