A Banner Day"

From the American Economist:
Carried away by its Free-trade enthusi-
asm, the New York World said recently:
Yesterday was the banner day of the Gus
tom House. The entries for customs were
1919 and the receipts were $43s, 265.95. Nc
day In the history of the customs at New
York, under the Mckinley bill, approached
these receipts within $50,
As for ourselves, we would much rather
hear of 'banner day"'at American factories,
on which more goods would be made and
more wages paid than ever before. There
Is something absurd In this Boosting OF the
influx Of foreign goods at time when many
worthy people are out of work and many
more are working for low wages.
The Mckinley bill can stand the implied
sneer in the above paragraph. 1t did moi
destroy foreign commerce as its opponents
held 1t would, but it held In check foreign
imports that competed with home industries
1t was not framed TO create 'banner day.

Another Excursion to Detroit.

The excursion of the 22d inst, to Detroit
was success in every sense of the word,
and great many of the excursionists have
requested us to run another excursion on
the goth; consequently the d., G. II. & M.
Ry., will give one more excursion to De-
tr0it on that date.
The train has been timed to leave half an
hour earlier on the Goth, than on the 22d,
and will therefore leave Owosso at 7:25 a.
m. Rate from Owosso, $1.25.
There is certainly no better opportunity
of seeing Detroit than on one of these popu-
lar excursions. For this excursion bicycles
and baby carriages will be carried free, and
there will be man in the baggage car to
look after them. This has been one of the
features of these excursions.
1t has also been arranged by this company
for one of the Detroit q Belle Isle steamers
to be at this company's dock to take passen-
gers to Belle Isle, the fare for the round
trip being but 10 cents.
For the next Sundays excursion (of the
29th) we will have ample room, and accom-.
mediation will be made for all, so that those
desiring to see Detroit with its attractions
on Sunday can do so for the last time this
year, by taking advantage Of the low rate
offered.
Owosso passengers only may return on
train leaving Detroit at 10:45 p, m. If they
desire to do so.
