The Campaign Of Education.

The editor may be wrong in his person
al views. but it appears to him certain
that il 'free silver" forges to the head
there will certainly be such changing OF
values that period of mistrust and I'M
certainty must necessarily ensue and
which would most likely be followed by
panic.
The letter OF 'Silyerite," which appeared
in last Saturdays NEWS, contained, or
appeared to us to do SO, n covert sneer
that the editor was more concerned
in forwarding his personal views on the
money question to helping along "the
campaign of education" This is not 30.
The Reform Club, of New York, of which
the editor is member, has a sound cur
rency committee, whose duty it is to fur
nish the press with items favoring what
THEY GALL Sound money" and which
from time to time we gladly publish; but
il, on the other hand, the free siverites"
send us their views IN THE SAME SHAPE as
the sound currency committee we will
gladly use them, and so give both sides
OF the question. But even If they should
not do this the News may, Gifts own Volt
ton, publish from time to time the best
arguments FOR free silver" that It may
run across and our readers can then
choose for themselves which side of the
road they will take, or whether they will
keep in the middle of the road.
We yesterday published an article taken
from the Saginaw Courier, and in an

MIR. DEE TALKS.
The Telephone Company Appears
Like Host Things, TO HayeTwo
sides

Having business with Mr.. Dee, manager
OF the local telephone system, we yester-
day took occasion to enquire of him
what he knew about the new Detroit
Telephone scheme. He says" know a
good deal about it, had in mind on one
or two occasions to refute certain state
ments published Il presume through paid
advertisements)i in your paper during the
past two weeks by representatives of the
so-called Detroit Telephone Co., but !
thought a discussion OF the matter on
my part might belooked upon by prospec
TIVE purchasers OF stock as trying to kill
off competition to the Michigan Bell Co.,
and concluded someone would surely in
yestigate the matter carefully and let
them find out for themselves. which
many OF them can easily do through
their many friends in Detroit, and when
they do this they will soon be satisfied
that the new scheme is good thing to
let alone. In the first place their repre-
sentatlves have been selling illegal stock
according to this clipping from the
DETROIT EVENING News, the so-called
CO., was not incorporated up to July 81
and do not know that it il yet The
company isnow duly Incorporated.-ED. ]
Still am told Mr.. Holmes has been issu.
ing certificates OF a company not incor-
porated under the laws Of this state.
Just how valuable those 800 certf-
Gates are, ! will leave for you to Judge.
know YOU can get all you want OF
them in Detroit for less than $40 per
share, and during the past few days have
been offered in Saginaw for so per
share. A firm OF lawyers in Detroit have
block which they are very anxious to
dispose OF at considerable less than Mr..
Holmes il trying to sell the people here
All this talk about exclusive city fran
chises, etc, IL bosb, and used by Mr..
Holmes as bait. IL il not Mayor Pin
gree's style to give exclusive franchises in
the city OF Detroit; II he has done 80 in
the case OF the Detroit Telephone Co..
then he does not practice what he breaches
To drive out an existing company TO
make room Tor another "so-called mo-
nopoiy," would not be in line with
Mayor Pingrees ideas Of beneGting the
public generally.
One great reason, understand. ia
given Tor going outside OF Detroit TO sell
the stock is to encourage an extension of
the business throughout the State. Still.
Mr.. Holmes, in two-column article IN
your paper last week, states that IN al.
most all the important and valuable
