The Democratic Candidates

For the Office Of County Road
Com missioners the Democrats have
for candidates three men who are
as well qualified for the positions
as any three men who could be
selected from the people of Alpena
county. In w. L. Churchill, w.
B. Comstock and S. A. Dawson are
men known to all the people, who
can be relied upon to administrate
the road fund to the best advantage.
There is no doubt on that question.
For mayor of this city the Dem
ocratic nominee is. one of the best
men in the city. He is q pioneer
of Alpena, and his place of business
is the oldest one-in the city. All
his interests are here, and he is
personally concerned in the welfare
Of the city. If elected he will prove
q good officer, and he can be de-
pended upon to do all in his power
to maintain a good, honest, efficient
and economical administration of
the city affairs. We hope the Dem
ocrats will give their most worthy
candidate hearty support.
j. Fl. Kerr has served the people
faithfully as city treasurer for two
years, and his good work is admitted
by Republicans. This city has new
er had better one, who has col
lected the taxes more closely or done
the work more efficiently and to

Under the present system Of
electing United States senators the
people are practically without repre-
sentation in the upper branch of
congress. That body is at present
largely composed of and controlled
by few millionaires who have pur-
chased their seats by the most prof
ligate, ruthless and demoralizing ex-
penditure of their ill-gotten wealth.
The abolition of that aristocratlc and
non-American house of lords would
be the most desirable remedy for
the existing evil. But as so radi-
cal reform can hardly be expected
during the present generation the
next best thing to do is to elect
United States senator's by a direct
vote of the people. Such a step
would do away with the large cor
ruption funds which are raised to
bride legislators and elect candidates
who are favored to this or that
aspirant for the senatorship. In
the meantime and until this can be
accomplished nominations for Unit
ed States senators should be made
in the regularly called party con-
ventions.-Northern Democrat.

its authors and supporters. A very
little thought will show the farm
ers that in the nature of things
they can not be protected" in the
production of their products, be-
cause the articles they produce are
not imported, Except wool, and q
high tariff has always made the
price of that low but they are pro-
duced in excess Of the demand for
home consumption, and the money
producing crops, like wheat, corn,
cotton, meats and the like must be
exported and sold where McKinley's
scheme of protection can not pro-
tect the American farmer.-Sag-

the satisfaction of the people. These
are facts admitted by all.
w. G.. Wilson, the candidate fol
justice of the peace, is well known
to the people as he has served al
alderman several years, and he will
make a good justice.
The selections made by the Dem
ocrats for candidates for ward Offices
are most admirable, and il they are
elected the people will have officers
from whom good work can be ex-
pected. The nominees for supervi-
sors are John Weber, the well
known clothing house man in the
Minton block; w. f. Barrett, a
member the shoe firm of Masters &

already served as supervisor; w. K.
Dunlop, a well known dentist who
has been in business here for nine
years; j. j. Murphy who frequently
served the people, and Alex. Daoust,
who has held the Office of Alder
man several years.
The nominees for aldermen are
all well known business men, and
consist of G. F. Perkins, who has
been county treasurer two terms,
and is now in the drug business;
David Lincoln, known all over the
city, and extensively engaged in the
fishing business; George Pamerleau,
grocer, located on Chisholm street;
A. &. Ripley, an old and worthy
pioneer; William Manion, who has
just served one term as alderman,
and is in the grocery business; g..
M. Hanna, young man, making
his first appearance in the city poll
tics; and F. w. Hagen, who is in
the hardware business.
The selections for candidates for
the important offices of Members Of
the Board of Education are nearly
all business or professional men,
widely known and respected, as
good and capable citizens who will
do everything in their power to
maintain the schools for the best
interests of the people. The candi-

engaged in the furniture business;
F. S. Ford, a boot and shoe business
man; Sylvanus Stewart, at present
member of the school board; DR..

every Democrat can cheerfully vote
for, from top to bottom, and know
that he has voted for good men,
who can be relied upon to admins
ter their public duties for the pub

High Tariff vs.. General Prosperit


The revenue reform press of the
country has time and again shown
the utter fallacy of the idea of pro-
lection as being benefit to the
people at large. The fact that
many of our products are sold in
competition with the products Of
other nations IN the markets Of the
world is sufficient proof that the
protection so much talked about
does nothing more than enable the
favored classes to levy tribute on
their home patrons, for if they can
sell to a foreign customer without a
tariff tax they can sell with profit
to the home market. The history
of the copper ore trade is good
instance of this fallacy. If the cop
per barons can, as they do, mine
copper here, transport it over the
sea, pay the ocean freight, and sell
it at profit at the price for which
foreign copper is sold, they certain
ly do not need tax OH copper to
prevent foreign competition in the
home market.
And what is true Of copper is
VIGOROUSLY true of all other articles
protected" by the tariff tax. "Pro-
lection" is a fine sounding term,
but when examined it means moth
ing more nor less than a law, as in
the case of copper ore, that permits
the protected" producer to levy a
tax upon the unprotected" con-
sumers Of his articles equal to the
amount of his protection" in the
case of copper, and nearly so in re-
spect to other protected" articles.
If the tariff tax did not do this it
would be useless. If it does it, then
it is unjust to those who are forced
to pay the tax.
Many persons, like the farmers,
are deluded into the support of this
system by pretense of protection
for themselves. If they derive any
benefit from it we might not ques-
ton their sagacity whatever might
be thought of their motives. They
were assured that protection would
give them better home market.
Has it done so? They are given by
the Mckinley act a tariff of twenty
cents bushel on wheat, and wheat
sells for the magnificent sum of SO
cents per bushel! Do farmers know
why a tariff on wheat can not help
them? When they stop to think
of course they do. 1t is because no
wheat is imported into the coun-
try; because we produce a surplus,
and that surplus must be exported
to find market; and the price for
expectation fixes the price Of the
entire crop. The tariff on wool was
increased to pull the wool over the
farmers eyes, and the money out
Of his pocket. Both were accomp-
lished, but the price Of wool went
down as the Mckinley tariff went
up. Let all the farmers whose
wheat, wool and other products have
been increased in price by the tariff,
stand up and vote for Mckinley and
Republican "protection;" and let all
those whose products have not been
increased in price by that thimble-
rigging scheme, denounce it, and
