EDITOR OF ARGUS:
The calamity bowling organett
of Water street would have it's
readers believe that all the ellis
that flesh is heir to" are due to the
Democratic administration and to
the Wilson bill, and that a vote for
the Hon. w. l.. Churchill means a
continuation of financial stringency,
low prices and hard times generally.
The intelligent and thinking work
ingmen of Alpena county will not
be deceived by willful ms-state-
ments, or contortion of facts.
A lie of any kind is to be detest-
ed, but the most despicable is the
political lie. According to the or
ganett the cedar business in Alpena
county would be seriously injured if
not altogether destroyed this winter
on account of the recent tariff leg
islation. The fallacy of this state
ment was clearly demonstrated by
Cedar" in the ARGUS Of October 3D..
The low prices of wheat, and the
feeding of it to hogs, is another of
the dire misfortunes, for which the
Wilson bill should be held account
able, says the Water street oracle.
This is nonsense pure and unadult-
Grated. When it is known that
there has been produced in the last
four years about half a billion bushels
more of wheat, and about billion
bushels less of corn than is needed
for consumption, the cause for the
phenomenally low price of wheat
and it's feeding to swine can easily
be understood. Twenty years ago,
in the fruit growing states of the
east, peaches were fed to the hogs.
Did any one attribute that to the
Republican party, which at that
time was in the zenith Of its glory /?
/ think not.
The abundance Of the crop and the
Cutting of the market made the
price SO low that the grower would
have lost from 5 to 10 cents on
every bushel shipped. Consequent
ly shipment Of the fruit was stopped
and the hogs were turned loose into
the orchards. Don't be fooled by
the clap-trap argument Of political
tricksters, fellow workingmen.
Vote for MIR. Churchill and thereby
help continue in power the only
party that has ever been your true
friend, and legislated in your in
terests.

Republican Extravaganza.

The apologists for the present
extravagant state administration
have, inadvertently, called attention
to a comparison Of the cost of DEM
ocratic and Republican state legis-
latures. AS usual, a comparison re-
fleets upon the grand old party Of
money spenders. The books show
the following figures:
Regular session. 18S9-Republi-
can, 1873 days: cost, S149,248.05;
cost per day, $S05.
Regular session, 1S91--Demo-
cratic, 17S days, cost, SILL ,945.36;
cost per day, $500.
Regular session, 1S93-Republi-
can, 146 days; cost, $146,212.54; cost
per day, 81 900.
The expenses of the 1893 session
are shown by Auditor-General Turn
er's report to be $119,926.68, but
this amount was the sum paid dur
ing the fiscal year 1893 for per diem
and mileage. The board of state
auditors, however, paid for supplies
and incidentals as shown by the
report Of the auditor-general in
1893, $12,753.86 and in 1894, 3d.
532.42, making the total cost of the
dollar-buck session $146,212.94, as
above stated.
The more numerous the compar-
isons the more explanation IS re-
quired on the part of the Republi-
can press. State issues will not
down, however much the Republi-
can administration may desire it.

A Piano at a Nominal Price

Chicago's largest music house, Lyon &
Healy, has moved into magnificent new
building. They have q number Of slightly
used and secondhand pianos returned
from Worlds Fair renting, etc., ETC.,
which they have determined to sacrifice
rather than to try to make room for.
These instruments comprise square pianos
at $40, $65, 800, 800 and 1926. Upright
pianos at 1875, $40, $3.50, $165, $3.50,
$500, 1925, $240 and upward. Grand
pianos at $500, $3.50, $500 and upward.
Nearly all originally sold for from two to
four times their present price. Almost
all prominent makes Tin squares and up
rights are represented, including among
numerous others Chickering, Knabe,
Steinway, Weber, Decker, Steck, Fischer,
etc. This Is an opportunity that will not
occur again, as Lyon & Healy have not
moved for twenty years. Immediate at
tention is therefore necessary. A good
plan would be to order piano, leaving
the selection to Lyon & Healy. How
ever, they will send list and full partic-
ulars upon application. Any piano not
proving satisfactory may be returned at
their expense. Address at their new
salesrooms, corner of Wabash avenue
and Adam St., Chicago. Distance Is no
obstacle In taking advantage of this re-
markable chance to obtain q piano, for
in proportion to the saving to be made
the freight charges are insignificant. II
you do not already know them by reputa-
ton any banker will assure you of Lyon
Healy's entire responsibility and record
OF over third Of century for honorable
dealing. Write to-day so as to avoid dis

Why Wool Prices are Higher.

Since the new tariff law, putting
wool on the free list, went into eff
feet, the price of wool in both this
country and Europe has advanced
between y and 10 per cent. The
explanation given by the New York
wool merchants is that the new
tariff is responsible for the increase.
Thomas l.. Gill, manager of the
New York Wool Warehouse COM
pany, says:
Manufacturers have not under
stood the situation. They are be-
ginning now, however, to appreciate
the advantage of having the woods
of other countries admitted free.
The importers have made arrange
ments to handle Australian and
South American woods direct from
the growers through one source in
New York. The idea is to bring
the foreign wool into direct contact
not competition--with domestic
woods, so that the manufacturer can
see which of the two is best suited
to his wants. The reason why the
price has advanced in other coun.
tries is that many American buyer.
are there competing with the trade
that the growers formerly controll-
ed. It has increased in this country
from natural causes.
1.-THE price of wool in foreign
countries is higher than here, and
the grade is higher. Therefore
the free list will not affect the do
nestle growers, but will give the
manufacturers an opportunity to

For Modern Cooking.

As matter of useful information
it may be stated that whenever a
cooking receipt calls for a baking
powder the "Royal" should be used.
The receipt will be found to work
better and surer, and the bread, bis
cult, cakes, dumplings, crusts, pud-
dings, crullers, or whatever made,
will be produced sweeter, lighter,
finer favored, more dainty, palata-
BILE and wholesome. Besides, the
"Royal" will go futher or has
greater leavening power, and is
therefore more economical than any
other powder.
Many receipts as published still
call for cream-of-tartar and soda, the
old-fashioned way of raising. Mod
ern cooking and expert cooks do
not sanction this old way. In all
such receipts the Royal Baking
Powder should be substituted with
out fail.
The greatest adopts in the culin-
airy art are particular to use the
Royal only, and the authors of the
most popular cook books and the
teachers of the successful cooking
schools, with whom the best results
are imperative, are careful to i'm
press their readers and pupils with
the Importance of it's exclusive EN-
ployment
The Royal Baking Powder is the
greatest help of modern times to
perfect cooking, and every receipt
requiring quick-raising ingredient
should embody it.

single law was passed by a Democratic
congress.
We call attention to the fact that the
Democratic party had the courage to re-
duce the tariff thereby taking large
amount OF taxes from the shoulders Of
the working people and placing the same
upon the rlch by levying an income tax.
We also call special attention to the fact
that this Is the first legislation that has
been enacted for the past twenty-five
years, tending to relieve the burdens Of
taxation, so long borne by the poor and
middle classes, and putting the same up
on the rich, who are better able to bear
It,
Resolved further, we thank the Demo-
cratic congressional convention for nom-
mating for congress our worthy fellow
citizen, Hon. Worthy L. Churchill and
earnestly ask every citizen of this locali-
ty irrespective of party, to vote for him.
Resolved further, that the Democratic
party deplores any attempt, on American
soil, to disfranchlse or prescribe foreign
ers so-called, or to ostracise candidates
for Office on the ground Of religious be-
lief.
Resolved further, that the Democratic
party is and always has been the
champion Of religious liberty and freedom
OF conscience, under the constitution
which declares that mo religious test
shall ever be required as a qualification
for any Office or public trust under the
United States"

There are men who think more
of their party than they do of their

there are many of that class in AL

The loud mouthed, calamity or
gans make wry faces at a tax Of
AZ cents OH a hundred pounds Of
sugar, as per the Wilson bill, but
they are too dishonest to tell the
people that the tax under the Nc
