BIaine's Prophecy Fulfilled.

Extract from speech of James q. Blaine, oc-
tober, 1890.
"The great Southern wing of the
Democratic party are determined TO
establish the doctrine of free trade
in this land. They will be assisted
by their Northern allies. The fight
is now on. There is a great body of
visionary but educated men who are
employed day by day in writing
free-trade essays and arguments IN
favor of that doctrine, which find
their way into every newspaper In
this land. The great body of our
people have never experienced them
selves the sufferings which always
result when the protective princi,
pies are laid aside. Poisoned and
excited by the wild statements of
these writer's and the demagogic APP
peals of Democratic speakers, the
result will be that in the very near
future theses forces which are now
working will be strong enough to
defeat at the polls the party adyo-
eating the doctrine of protection.
1t must inevitably follow that un-
certainty and doubt will ensue.
The business men of the country,
fearing the destruction of the prin-
ciple of protection, will decline TO
engage in business, consequently
mills will shut down and the work.
iDgmen will be thrown out of en-
plOyment. The people will then see
as they have never seen before that
they cannot be prosperous and have
work while this principle is threat
ened. In the midst OF their suffer
ing they will learn that the only way
they can be prosperous and happy Is
to vote for the party that has built
up the industries by which they
have gained a livelihood; because
they will then see clearly that when
the mandatory is shut down there
is no demand for the only thing
which they have to sell, and that is
their labor"

This was under the "infamous
Mckinley bill"
In the year 1898 100000 tons
were shipped.
The reduction in shipments from
1892 was 3,326,50S tons.

mining and shipping ore in Michi-
gan on November /, ls92,wa PIP;
employed on November /, 1898,

the mines in 1892 We're earning 1925
per day. During October and No
vember, 1898, those of them who
could get work at all were able to
earn sl.54 per day, and multitudes
of them, unable to get work or
bread, have been supported by the
contributions of the charitable peo-
pie of the state for months past.
In addition to this direct loss we
must take into account the indirect
loss in the matter of transportation
of the ore TO the furnaces, where it
is to be smelted and converted into
iron and steel. Here we get a
glimpse of the interdependence of
industries. Strike one and dozen
others fall with it.
The Wilson bill, as it passed the
house, puts iron ore on the free list.
1t brings Michigan ore into direct
and unaided competition with Cuban,
Spanish and other ores, which can
be unloaded on the docks Of every
Atlantic and gulf port from Maine
TO Mexico, while the Michigan ore
must be transported hundreds of
miles by water, and then hauled
other hundreds of miles by rail, to
meet and compete with this cheap
ore, produced at less than half the
cost and frequently transported free
of charge as ballast.
The Almighty seems to have
placed these magnificent deposits in
the Lake Superior country for use.
But Professor Wilson thinks other.
wise. His idea is to "buy where
you can buy cheapest" and that is
where the days work brings the
last return.

A CONDITIONING A THEORY,

The forthcoming report of Com
missioner of Labor Morse, a sum-
mary of which has been sent out in
advance from Lansing, will afford
the people of Michigan some food
for serious thought, "about these
days" when the Wilson bill is about
TO be reported from the finance COM
mittee of the senate.
The report deals wholly with the
iron mining industry of Michigan,
in which she leads the world. This
is but one of the great Michigan in
dustries marked for sacrifice; lum.
Der, salt, wool and copper being
others.
During the four years preceding
the Inauguration of the present
democrat crusade for free trade, and
especially "free raw materials" the
Michigan iron mines produced and
shipped the following number of
tons of ore:

DEAR SIR
have suspended all business and
put off several important engagements
for the purpose of solving the problem
found in local column Of your valu-
able paper of the 9th inst. In these
degenerate democratic days the sum of
money which the farmer gave his man
with which to buy three kinds OF live
stock was quite sufficient, and he could
undoubtedly carry out lis employers
instructions to the letter. While cows
at $40 each seem rather low figure, |
think the price of hogs at SO each is
wholly out of proportion to the low
price of sheep, viz: 80 cents each; but
the farmer must have been democrat,
and undoubtedly had in mind the
Wilson Bill.
However, here are my hgures:
30 sheep az : 50.................. ..... s45 90
hogs a. 300............ ............. 10 90
cows 90 10 OO............ ....... go. 40 %
80 800 90
This makes total Of 500, the
amount of money which he placed in
the hands of his hired man with which
to make the purchase; but this only
makes 80 head of cattle, sheep and
hogs. Now put the farmer who would
make an investment of this sort in
with the hogs, and you have 100 head
of cattle, sheep and hogs on his farm.
If my answer is correct solution of
the problem, please mail me the
RECORD for one year, gratis. If not.
mail copy to the farmer, with this
answer to your riddle, and / will pay
two years subscription if he will read
the same. Very truly yours,
MARCUS POLLAsKY.

-Ii~h Criminals.

Doubtless. 10 judge from your aver
age daily journal, murders and sui
cides. crimes and catastrophes, wars
and feuds and frauds. would seem to re-
main the staple Of the human record.
But be it remembered that, for Obvious
reasons. all our worst and darkest is col
lected there. One might as well judge
of public health by the painful cases
described in a medical publication as
of the vast mass of solid human happi-
ness and innocent living JOY by the dai-
ly catalogue of these really trivial ex-
ceptiuns to il. As for sins-the most Sc
rious of which are only such as are
malicious-thOugh the population in
crease, they seem steadily to diminish.
We had s7.66S "habituals' in 1865;
now the evil roll is only SO, 1913.
When the population of England was
10, 257. 900 in 1863, there were 2,5es
persons undergoing penal servitude;
now. with population of 1880, lI9.
the number is only 941. In 1878 the en-
tire number of prisoners in our .ails
was go. s33; the entire number at the
same date last year was 12, 663, though
the population had increased by 5000,
900. Pauperism is also declining. In
f 1870, 1903, 39l persons were in receipt
/ of relief: in 1891, with an addition OF
more than :, 900, 900 inhabitants, there
were only ga, ,905. The upshot of these
figures - without pressing them tao
much-seeIns surely to be that the COS
mic process in our own little corner OF
the universe is not doing go badly.-Sil
