May II Be Even So.

We regret we could not be present,
OIL Friday evening last, at the celebra-
ton by Mr.. and Mrs. H. L. Snyder of
their tenth marriage anniversary. 1t
goes without saying that the occasion
was full Of pleasure to every one who
attended. We trust that time will deal
with them so kindly that they may,
forty years hence, have a Golden We'd
ding and we would like to be there,
a centenarian quill-driver or pencil
pusher, to report proceedings for The
Free Press. But it is more probable
that by that time we shall have climbed
the golden stairs and will be looking
down over the baluster rail at our
friends, surrounded by good-looking
grandchildren and a host of happy
guests-Chmlestown Free Press.

for poverty. Starvation has stallxed in
every town in the upper peninsula
and only by charity have many Of our
people escaped death through hunger and
want. After two long years OF the new
order Of things, the Democratic party
has framed tariff bin that fixes
the wages Of miners at an average
Of one dollar per day and ex-
tracts from the pockets OF the poor

the sugar barons. Some Of the mines

unless financially able TO hold ituntil the
Republican party shall have been re-
turned TO control OF the affairs OF the
government, will cease operations with

not Providence visited the forests OF the

summer compelling the owners of pine

escape total loss, famine would again

Congressman Wilson, OF West Virginia,
was ietcd by the chamber OF commerce,
Of London, Thursday evening. The En-
glish merchants showed their gratitude
to the author OF the tariff bill and the
present Democratic administration. Mr..
Wilson said in his speech that the tariff
reiormers are breaking down the deienses
OF our home market. The next day
Governor Mckinley spoke at Gallipolis,
Ohio. In sight OF the rugged hills of West
Virginia the author Of the Mckinley bill
roasted the author OF the Wilson bill
and inquired: III we do not defend our
home markets against the products OF
cheaper labor OF other countries, who
will?" lie quoted the speech OF Sir
Albert Kaye Rollitt, who presided at the
banquet, and said that Mr.. Wilson's
name had become honored and familiar
in England, and that London, in honor
ing him honored itself; that the new
tariff law, while il might not have real
lied the aspirations OF its promoters,
had already benefited England, Fur
naces have been reopened in Wales and
Yorkshire and an impetus has been
given 10 the textile industries This will
be cheering news 60 the people OF the
United States and will bring comfort To
idle men who for more than year have
been waiting for the American mills To
reopen. You have not heard OF any
commercial body in the United States,
through its spokesman, declaring that
any Industries m America have been
stimulated by this law, whatever benefits
have gone to other countries.

AUGUST q COOK

The DIAMOND DWLL is gratilied 20 noto
the individual interest manifested In Iron
county in the candidacy OF August g.
Cook for representative in the state
legislature from the Dickinson legislative
district. Apathy IN regard TO legislative
matters is too Liable 60 occur. Voters
are often slow TO appreciate the import.
ance Of the office. While The efficacy of
our state laws aud the conduct of our
state institutions depend entirely upon
the character OF the legislature, there is
n matter Of greater importance to con
slider at this time. The next legislature
will elect two United States senators.
Should apathy on the part Of Repub-
Leans allow Democrats 20 control the
body, two Democrats would represent
Michigan in the United states senate and
add two votes TO the strength that must
be broken before prosperity returns
While this fact has undoubtedly been
considered, we believe that the PERSONAL
ity Of the Republican candidate has not
been lost Go view This is surely true,
