In a time of great financial distress

. low revenue tariff must very largely In
crease foreign imports. We who contend
for the protective policy believe that to the
amount we increase the supply of our wants
of things which we can produce here from
the production of labor in foreign lands,
to that precise amount we decrease the de-
mand for similar things produced by our
own labor here-that as we decrease the de-
mand for the labor of our own people, we
must, of necessity, decrease the demand
for the labor that produces such things
and as we decrease that demand we must
necessarily decrease the rate OF wages for
such labor. Decreased wages means strikes,
1t means lock-outs, 1t means closing of mills
and factories, II means idleness, distress and
poverty. Our free-trade friends believe
otherwise. The proposed bill is no worse
than the platform of the party responsible
for 1t, and 1t is just as bad as any measure
of the kind which could be drafted by any
pronounced enemy of our countrys indus
tries. lam Very truly yours,

Hon. Mark s. Brewer, of Pontiac, writes
the American Economist in regard to the
proposed change in the tariff laws by the
democrats. He says: The democratic plat
form of 1892 affirmed that the Protective
policy was unconstitutional, and declared in
favor of a tariff for revenue only. Upon that
platform the party has assumed power. If
the party is honest it will enact into law the
principles enunciated in its platform. We
who believe in the protective policy feel con-
WINGED that the practical working of such a
law will be injurious to all the great indus
tries of our country. and that the verdict
rendered by the people last fall would soon
be reversed. The bill proposed by the New
York Tariff Reform Club Is the first effort
of our free-trade friends looking toward the
carrying out of their free trade platform.
The originators of the proposed bill seem to
have but one object; that is, how to increase
the importation of products of foreign labor
and they have given but little consideration
even to revenue. 1t is conceded by all that

Michlgan,s Shame.

| From the Detroit Journal.
| The horrors attending the lynching OF
Sullivan should make every citizen blush
with shame. Even death by his own hand
was only an accident, over which the crowd
of barbarians who practiced Indian savagery
upon his dead body had no control. They
would have murdered him had he not taken
his own life.
The mob, whether composed of the ''best
citizens, or the worst, behaved like DahOmey
savages over the unressting corpse. To
hack 1t and tear the clothes, and drag the
inanimate clay in the mud and dust, was an
act not of civilized men the product of edu-
cation, or Christianity or the restraints of
law and decency, but of the brute whose
lifeless body they were mal-treating. Some
faint relic of self respect and manhood only
held them back from burning the body.
Otherwise the honorable citizen of Michigan
who walked this morning to the horrible
orgy that had happened in the night would
for moment have thought himself in Texas,
not in the state that boasts of its enlight-
eminent ana clylllZatlOn.
That the brute thus treated deserved
death no one unaffected by sentimentality
can deny. Had not Michigan failed in its
duty these years gone by and trifled with
the penalty for murder the wretch would in
time and by judicial processes been put out
the way so he could not repeat his crime,
and his fate would have helped deter others
tempted to like atrocity. But the defect in
Michigan jurisprudence does not justify
even his unauthorized execution, much less
the fiendish conduct of the mob at Corunna.
This deed demands the strictest and sever
est investigation. Its perpetrators should
be detected and whatever punishment the
law imposes be inflicted, no matter whom or
where it strikes.
In view of the warnings and fOre-knOwl
edge of the mob spirit, the failure of the
sheriff to protect his prisoner should be in
vestigated, and his share of the response
bility for the disgrace visited upon Michigan
ascertained and adequately punished.
The senate should at once take up and
pass the bill already sanctioned by the house
for the restoration of the death penalty for
murder. But even prompt, and thorough
legalretributioil for tie outrage cannot wipe
out, or condone, or tighten the ,foulest spot
on the fame of Michigan which this deed of
savagery has sunk deep and dark into the
history of this state.

View it from whatever point we may, the
murder of Sullivan by mob violence at Co
runna on Tuesday evening was one of the
most brutal that has ever disgraced the
Peninsula State.
Two wrongs have never yet made any
thing right. The commission of crime by
one man never justified the same crime at
the hands of any number of men. 1t is true
that Sullivan was murderer his murder
by the mob was no less a crime than that
committed by him.
The reported facts in the case leave no
doubt in our mind that the officers at the
Jail were over-confident, thinking as most
of the crowd did, that no attempt would be
made to do violence to Sullivan. Had prop
er steps been taken to disperse the crowd
there would have been no opportunity to
defy the laws of the State. Sullivan was
prisoner in the hands of the proper officers
and certainly entitled to protection from all
violence.
The case is a sad one in every respect.
The moral sense Of the community is out
ragged beyond the power of words to express
at the inhuman treatment of the mob. True
the coroners' jury says Sullivan killed him
self, but If he did 1t was the act of man
made insane by the unlawful action of the
mob, and the mob is snoAe the less respon-
sible for his death, than. though he had died
atsthe ropes end. - aS 'ar
We believe in law and order, in tie en-
forcement of every law; in the prompt
trial and speedy punishment of the criminal.
not as an act of retaliation or vengence, but
for the protection of life and property. In
this case the confessed perpetrator of das-
tardly crime was IN the tolls of the law and
he would have received condign punish
ment, and the law would have been vindi-
Gated. Now two crimes instead of one stain
the escutcheon of the State.
We warn the people that crime is made
popular by all acts of violence, no matter
from what source they may come. That
the only safety is in and under the law,
either for States or individuals. Only few
months ago we were bitterly condemning an
act of violence on the part of the popuace
in Texas. How much better is this crime
for the cool blooded men of Shiawassee
county? 1t seems to us as though every fair
minded man must set the seal of condem-
nation on this brutal exhibition of mans
malice or else we should cease Boosting of
our high civilization.
The parties to this affair will certainly
live to regret their action. 1t cannot re
otherwise Those who uphold the lyncMng,
and they seem to be in the majority, will
yet see that they are in the wrong. The
blot on the fair name of Shlawassee will
not be effaced in many days. Such crime
witnessed by men, women and children, and
there were many of the latter class present,
tends to tear down all regard for law, to
make the enforcement of any law doubly
hard. II is long step backward for this
county.

EXPLODED A BOMB.
Rather an Annoyance to the Ameri-
can Minister to IfaIv

ROME, March IA bomb was exploded
in Ancina Matuta Palace. the official resi-
dence ofIUnited Siales Minister Potter, early
this morning. Fortunately nobody was
hurt, and but little damage was done TO the
building. No cause is known for the deed.
The building was occupied by two other
families besides that of United States Min
lister Potter. As similar outrage was per-
petrated in the same building in 1892, and
as Potter only engaged the building for oc-
cupation in the closing days Of that year, it
is believed the fact Of the palace being In
habted by the American Minister had moth
ing to do with the outl age, but that the mo-
tive for causing the explosion was to crafty
a desire for vengeance upon the proprietor
Of the palace, irrespective Of whether the
residents were injured or not This was the
motive suspected at the time of the first ex-
pIosion, and there is no reason to take a
different view now.
The United States Minister called at the
Foreign Office this afternoon aud tolq Sgnor
Brin, Minister of Foreign Affairs, that he
was convinced that the explosion was not
Intended to injure him OF TO affront the
United States Government. He expressed
regret that such an embarrassing incident
had occurred, and assured Signor Brin of
the sympathy Of the United States Govern
ment and its willingness to let the affair
pass unnotlced. Signor Brn thanked him
for his visit and two hours later returned
the call to inform him that lhe italian Gov
ernment felt the deepest regret on account
of the inconvenience caused to him and his
family by the explosion.
