In the business form the Board OF Alder
men comes the amnedod resolution rela-
tive to the layout ana widening of Charles

as amended.
The resoluti ion as passed by the Board
two weeks ago Gals for an expenditure OF

put on in the Common Council provides
for the taking in of the sherman and
Greeley estates to preserve the straight
easterly line OF the street and only in

is the only change and the mem bers OF
the Board have no objection to it.

BUTTON INDUSTRY INJURED.
Business Created by Mckinley Protection
Suffers Under the Wilson bill.

1t will be remembered how vigorous
was the opposition to the protective tar
if upon buttons that was proposed and
established under the Mckinley tariff.
This duty was y cents per line, button
measure, and 25 per cent ad valorem
The protection thus afforded succeeded
in building up the button manufacturing
industry in the United States at sew
eral points and correspondingly prohibit
ed the importation of foreign made bot
constitutions which, by the way, are
mostly turned out by the convict labor
of Europe, and which would not be adj
mitted into the United States If the pro-
visions of the tariff were strictly carried
out.
The tariff reformers and free traders
reduced the duty on pearl and she'll but
tons from the Mckinley rate of. 2a
cents per line down to l cent per line,
and from % per cent ad valorem down
to 10 per cent adj valorem. The result of
the reduction is shown as follows:
IMPORTS OF BUTTONS AND BUTTON FORMS.
Sept. to March l.
1S94-5. 1884. Increase.
German. Mckinley. German.
S6O4. 6S2 100000 S444,013
Under the Mckinley tariff from Sept.
/, 1898, to March /, 1894, period of
six months, our imports of buttons and
button forms were worth $3.50, 500. Dur
ing the corresponding six months year
later, under the German tariff, our i'm
ports of buttons and button forms reach
ed 1904, 6S2, the increase for the half
year in this one article Of consumption
exceeding $444, 900, or at the rate of
$SSS, 900 year.
The American button factories are be-
ing deprived of the manufacture and the
sale of this amount of goods the Amer
lean wage earners are being prevented
from earning wages that would have en-
abled them to help in making this
amount of goods; the convicts in Europe
have been correspondingly more busy !;
the prisons in Europe have been made
correspondingly more self supporting,
and the foreign dealers have been en-
abled to increase their profits correspond
ingly.
American people at the 20 per cent
rate Of duty contributed $40, 900 TO the
revenue under the Mckinley importa-
tions, but they have'%een forced to pay
800, 900 on the 10 per cent rate for half
year only, an increase at the rate of
500, 900 year, showing that 1.-the tar

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1895-06-07

IN a memorial address delivered at
the agricultural college, Judge Van
Zile severely criticized the university
of Michigan for permitting the base
ball team to desecrate Memorial Day
by playing a game of ball at Detroit.
The Judge is right about the matter.
a day that is set apart and devoted
to the memory of our departed heroes
ought not to be turned into day of
frivolity and trivial amusement. The
same thing was done in different
places in our own county, and it was
no credit to those who engaged in
such amusement nor to the people
who patronized the games. The day
is properly a "festival of the dead"
and as such it should be held sacred.

The Cucumber Season.

The cucumber season is with us,
and we wish to warn our readers
against partaking too freely of this
succulent cholera producer. If any
are skeptical as to the evil results of
this sort of indiscretion, we would
ask them to turn to the editorial
page of last weeks Courier. Our
contemporary should soak its cucum-
bers in brine before eating them. a
more excruciating case of belly
ache" it was never our lot to behold.
1t frothed at the mouth in a manner
truly alarming, even for that frothy
journal.
Frequently the Courier has devils
ed schemes TO attract foreign capital
into Paw Paw for profitable invest
ment. Indeed, it was for some time
anxious to get some kind of capital,
whether foreign or domestic was i'm
material, interested in itself on almost
any terms. Some two years and
half ago several thousand dollars of
Kalamazoo capital was invested in
the NoRTHERNER, and the Courier
has since howled itself seriously
hoarse because such foreign capital
is here invested and in competition
with the Courier. There is no Sc
cret whatever about the investment.
Messrs. j. w. Osborn, A. J. Mills
and :. +. Master of Kalamazoo each
own number of shares of stock in
the True Northerner Publishing Co.
They are most estimable gentlemen,
but not any one of them nor all of
them together own sufficient stock in
the establishment to control it, and
our contemporary deliberately mis-
represents the facts to deceive the
public when it speaks of them as
owners of the concern. The NORTH
ERNER pays nearly four aud half
times the amount of taxes that the
Courier does; the NoRTHERNER paws
easily three times the amount in
wages that the Courier does, which

merchants. Which institution is the
most benefit to Paw Paw?
Whenever the NORTHERNER has
had occasion to criticize its neighbor
across the way, it has always tried to
do SO in gentlemanly manner. But
our neighbor does not take to criti-
cism kindly, nor does it reply in kind.
On the contrary, it resorts to insinu-
ations and untruths, directing a lib
eral share of personal innuendos
against the ''ostensible" editor of this
journal, who also happens to be the
"ostensible" manager and who has
absolute control of both the editorial
and business policy of the NORTH
ERNER. The NoRTHERNER editor is
used to having Van Buren, coun-
ty newspaper men ride upon his
neck. The onl faults they find are
that his newspaper experience has
not been limited to few weeks i'm a
country office, nor indeed to any one
office nor to country journalism, and
that he is fortunate enough to have a
father. If it is any crime for a young
man to do something for himself in a
business way before his father is in
his grave; if it is any detriment to a
man to have had more or less va
ried experience in his chosen profess
sion, we have nothing to say; but if
good newspaper work consists of
scurrilous personality, our experience
has been in vain. In any event we
shall pay no further attention to the
Courier until it shall climb from its
level of innuendo to the higher plane
of argument.

Marti Lives to Fight For Cuba.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June f.
Gonzales D'Quesada, secretary of
the Cuban revolutionists, arrived
here today. He received a tele-
gram from Benjamin Guerra, the
treasurer Of the revolutionIsts, at
New York as follows:
"Panchito Gomez cables that
Marti lives. All passengers from
Santiago, including PortuOndo's
wife believe him alive. l believe
it and have telegraphed to all.
Cheer up"
PanchitO Gomez is a son of Gen.
Gomez, leader Of the insurrection-
lists in Cuba and is in San Domin-
go. Portuondo who is mentioned
is Marti's private secretary. Que
sada does not believe that Marti is
dead and has never believed it.
"Ifkhe is dead" he says "then he
has been assassinated as he would
not have been on the field Of the
battle. He is the civil leader and
there are generals enough to lead
the fighting without his doing it
However, II he were dead, it would
make no difference to the cause, il
would 60 on just the same, because

Judging from the rush for seats
when the box office opened yester-

fullest capacity.
Sixteen electric fans will be
placed so as to make the opera
house as comfortable as possible.
Besides this icewater will be served
gratis between the acts. George
