In the death of Hon. Francis B..
Stockbridge, United States Senator
from Michigan, the American Pro-
tective League and the cause of
protection 10 American labor and
industries lose q true and tried friend.
Mr.. Stockbridge was born in Bath,
Maine, April 9, 1926. He began
his course in life at tho bottom
of the ladder as clerk in dry goods
store in Boston atthe age of sixteen.
In ls47 he removed TO Chicago,
where he engaged in the lumber
business, and in 1853 removed 10
Michigan, continuing in the same
business, with other important con-
nections, until his demise. After
serving his adopted state in the
Legislature in both branches. he
was elected in 1887 to represent the
commonwealth in the u. S. Senate.
In this new field he soon exhibited
those sterling qualities of character,
the foundations of which were laid
in the Pine Tree State, which placed
him in the foreground as a thought
ful and prudent legislator. He had
been a member of this League from
is earliest history. American
Economist.

The Philadelphia Telegraph, a
Republican newspaper, discussing
Mr.. Harrison as Presidential can
didste with judicial eveness, de-
clares that she would be as weak in
1896 as he was in 1892, SO far as
some of the party's most powerful
leaders are concerned, and SO far as
the disappointed place-hunters are
concerned. They would all sulk in
their tents as they did before, or
else secretly or openly oppose his
election. He would not evoke the
popular enthusiasm as Reed or Nc
Kinley would. He is thoroughly
respectable, competent and trust
worthy; but he has never put him
self in close touch with the people

measure done"

The Republican Senators have
had notice from the country, through
the ballot boxes, that it is its wish
and will that the Wilson bill shall
be defeated, no matter what shape it
can be made TO assume by those who
are opposed to the wholesome policy
of Protection. The country expects
the Republicans of the Senate to
defeat this Objectionable measure if
it is possible for them to defeat it,
and it is confidently expected that
they will use all means which parlia-
mentary rules and custom put in
their hands to accomplish its defeat.
The majority may amend the rules,
or, as Senator Mills urged the other
day, the President of the Senate
may, in defiance of the rules, order
the previous question; cutting off
debate and forcing vote, but as
long as the rules remain unchanged
and are respected by the presiding
officer, the Republicans should avail
themselves Of every advantage they
afford TO defeat a measure which in
the judgement of the country is not
one Of good public policy.

1t is pretty certain that congress
is going 10 pass some kind of tar
if bill before great while, and
that with all the amendments since
the introduction of the bill, wool will
90 on the free list. The shrinkage
in the value of the focks in this
county since the election two years
ago foreshadowing such action has
been enormous. Sheep are not
worth more than half as much as
they were then, and values will be
further depressed. Gratiot county
farmers cannot compete with free
Australian wool. The climate, and
value of land and labor are against
them.

Forty per cent. ad valorem on
sugar is not duty enough to suit the
producers of Louisiana, but the
trust is satisfied, and the incident,
as they say in the diplomatic corps,
is closed. Forty per cent. may not
protect cane raisers and refners, but
it bulls the stock market, which
seems to be a paramount desidera-
tum with democratic legislation.
