Everybody Vote.

The coolest inhabitant" cannot recall
u campaign when everything pointed
more surely to a sweeping Republican
victory than at the present time. Even
Democrats, when they are indulging in
common honesty rather than political
clap-trap, admit that this is Republi-
can year, and that the only hope for
their party is to keep the Republican
majority down to the lowest figures
To accomplish this, if possible, they
are resorting to Misrepresentation
canards and bowls.
There is little danger of the Demo-
Gratis accomplishing much by this kind
of a campaign, as against the stern de-
termination of the people this year to
"slug" the Democratic administration
on general principles. The farmer will
resent the placing of his wool and other
products on the free list, the working
man will resent the cheapening of his
labor, the manufacturer will resent the
destruction of his business, and all
classes generally will resent the policy
of ruin and disaster inaugurated by the
Democratic administration. So general
is the cry for satisfaction, that the peo-
pie are impatient to vote.
The only element of weakness in the
Republican ranks is over-confidence.
Almost any trihing reason will be
enough to keep voter away from the
polls, If he feels that his vote is not
needed to insure success. Some feel
ing of indisposition, some trip of
recreation or business, some profess
sional engagement, or some little in
convenience as to transportation may
prevent an elector casting a ballot If
he thinks there are enough to defeat
the Democrats without his help.
Republicans of Michigan, be not over
confident. BE not careless on election
lay Sacrifice comfort and conven-
lence, il necessary, to make your way
10 the polls. We are not fighting for
The mere present, but for the future.
II the people now overwhelm the Demo-
cratic administration with torrent of
-ebuSe, IL will not recover in time for
The next national election. A few
-tay-at-home votes may lose us n con-
gresham or a member of the lepisla-
lure. So get out, every Republican
voter, and see that your neiphbors do
inc same. This is the time to apitate
The subject, so as to insure a full vote.

LabOr's Loss.

The Michigan labor bureau, in its
inspection of factories under the law
of 1893, has revealed many a sad fact
as to the condition of labor in this
state, during the general paralysis of
business interests by Democratic
national policies,
There have been inspected during
the past year, up to the present time,
100 carriage and wagon factories,
located in Michigan and turning out
Michigan products. The reports of
these inspectors to the bureau also
show that those 100 factories, when
running full, employ 2,919 men, but
that they actually employ only 1,s17
people, or falling off of /, 1O2.
These 1877 men who have work have
received, monthly, 7,173, or an aver
age of $39.17 each, while the loss of
wages, suffered by those 1,102 idle en-
ployes, at the same ratio, would aggre-
gate the handsome sum of $43, 165. "a.
Here is a loss to labor, in these Demo-
cratic good times, of 3S per cent in one
industry alone; enough to comfortably
care for the poor of Detroit for the
next four months.
But this does not complete the story.
Those 100 carriage factories would run
5000 hours per week if running full
time, but they run in fact, only 1874
hours per week. Here is loss to
labor of 426 hours, or 42% days each
week, as compared with full time
Figured by the same ratio, the loss
from this source is $275 per month; and
this amount added to the $40, 165, lost
by the men who are compulsorily idle,
gives us total loss from labor unem-
ployed of $43, $40 month in these 100
factories alone.
1t is all very nice for unprincipled
demagogues and Democratic news
papers to bloviate about good times
and revived industries, F" to the people
who do not know that they are will
fully and wickedly deceiving honest
voters to serve their own personal ends;
but in the light of these hardheaded
facts, which are open to public inspec-
ton, it is about time that Candidate
Fisher and his disciples gave some
authority for their assertions of bust
ness revivals in Michigan industries or
ceased to stand before their audiences
as convicted liars.
1t may be added to this already
damning showing that the operatives
in these 100 carriage factories have
suffered the same average reduction of
wages, since April, 1898, as the furni-
ture workers, viz, eleven per cent.
Every workingman in Michigan is in
terested in these facts, and should not
only read them, but show them to his
neighbor.

Money for Wilson.

The following statement made by the
correspondent of Democratic paper,
who has recently spent ten days in
Representative Wilson's district, shows
what class of persons are most inter-
ested in the Democratic tariff bill:
II have never seen such an open use
of money to influence elections as can
be daily witnessed on behalf of Mr..
Wilson in his district, and | am a very
old campaigner. There seems to be an
abundance of money. There is COM
mon report that the money is from Mr..
Isador Straus, of New York, who has
made large collections among the inn
porters of that city who, possibly
brought with him from London, where
he accompanied Mr.. Wilson on his trip,
considerable amount of British
money. The rest of the money is at
tributed locally to the sugar trust as a
corporation, but in greater part to the
individual members of the sugar trust.
That organization is understood to be
exceedingly anxious to aid the Demo
cratic party in preventing the defeat
Of its leader and champion, the chair
man of the committee on ways and
means. Wherever the money comes
from there is an abundance of it,

your condemnation of Clevelandism, of

protest against that masterpiece of

which strikes SO severe blow at the
farming, mining, manufacturing and
all other interests of Michigan; you
will put yourself on record as in favor
of the United States and of return to
better times than we have had since
1892.

Just stamp or mark "a cross * in the

vsALs { FALslTY OF DEMO
CSArlC CLAIMS.
The jackson Prison Sank Money Instead
OF savins 60 During the Gov. Winans
Regime Ilo1 the Figures Were Jug
gIed.

The Democratic handbook makes
an especial point in favor of the
Winans' administration of the state on
the alleged fact that under Demo-
cratic mama emcnt in 1892 tn state
prison at Jackson earned and paid into
the state treasury $4,000 over all ex-
penses of keeping convicts and run
ming that institution"
Just why the state prison should be
the only oasis in the broad Sahara
desert of Democratic administration in
Michigan was not apparent, and an
investigation was made. The results
of that investigation are of interest to
every lover of truth in the state.
The books of the institution show
the following to be the receipts for the
two fiscal years ending June 80, 1892:
From state treasurer. ......... .....S 10000 90
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1894-11-02

When the $16,0 cash drawn from
the state treasury are deducted from
the receipts the actual earnings are
found to have been only $219, 494 10,
just $5,374.21 less than the disburse-
ments-THE SAME OLD DEMOCRATIC DE-
FICIENCY.
The claim that the prison turned
over to the state treasury $4,000
profits can not be substantiated. To
make showing of profits, the report
of Warden Davis, the Democratic. in
cumbent utterly ignores the fact that
the sum of $4,000 in cash was re-
ceived from the state. He acknowl-
edges the receipt of the special appro-
priations and their expenditure, ex-
cept balance of SO, 1876 "a, but never
a word is spoken of the sum that
entered into the general running ex-
penses of the institution.
None but a Democratic administra-
ton would ever think of drawing cash
from the state treasury and paying it
back under color of profits. But this
case is in strict accord with the APP
preparation, by the Democratic ad-
ministration of the state, of the $780,
S65. GO received from the general gov
eminent, and the subsequent claim of
so much saved to the taxpayers. 1t is
dishonest appropriation of others
credit. 1t is dishonesty sublimated,
refined and reduced to Democratic ap-
plication. And this is the kind of adj
ministration of state institution that
the Democratic party is now trying to
idealize. With these kind of state
ments the Democrats go before the
people and fondly imagine that voters
can be deceived into turning the state
and it's great interests over TO their
care. The people know better.
