Tho State Convention.

Michigan will be one Of the first OF
the reliable Republican states TO hold
Its convention and open the fall cam
paign. Since the last gathering of its
Republicans. at about the same time as
those of many other states. the ma
tional conventions of the two great par
ties have been held and the lines have
been clearly drawn. The st. Louis
convention has spoken authCritatively
for the Republican party in the whole
country. 1t declares for the tradi-
tional policy of protection and reel
procity. and in favor of honest money.
1t is the privilege of the staunch Re-
pubicans OF Michigan to be among the
first TO take up their party standard,
and rally under it for their fall cam
paign. \ platform in full accord with
that OF the national convention will
furnish the best fighting ground that
the party can occupy, in fact the only
safe ground, and if the best men of the
party turn out at the caucuses and
county conventions. the campaign will
be successfully inaugurated upon that
basisl
The honest money coir"aign OF 1878
furnishes a useful lesson. The spring
election of that year was Greenback
landslide, and many timid Republicans
were i'm favor of making some conces-
sions to Greenback sentiment in the
platform for the fall campaign, in the
hope OF winning back some of the
Green hackers. and of retaining Repub-
leans OF Greenbacll tendencies. But
the more courageous counsels of Gov
ernor Crosw well, senator Chandler and
men of that STAMP prevailed, and the
platform was as prCDounced as the
most ardent honest money man could
wish. The campaign was cOravcted
on the same line, the party closed -
its ranks, and won by a plurality OF
1900
There was. that year. no national
convention. and Michigan had TO form
its own line Of battle This year the
national convention has prepared the
plan of campaign, and Michigan in
falling into line. will find plenty Of
support. The caucuses Of the next two
weeks and the convention of August s,

hcans are loyal TO the national organ.

WHEN CARLISLE WAS TRUSTED
In the Height of His Vigor and Mai
hood He Favored silver.

i shall not enter int an examination
of the causes which were combined to
depreciate the value of silver, and TO
appreciate the value of gold since 1873,
but | am one of those who believe that
they are transient and temporary III
their nature. and that when they have
passed away or have been removed by
the separate or united actions of the
nations most deeply interested in the
subject the Old ratio of actual and rela-
tive value Will be re-established on a
firmer foundation than ever. | know
that the worlds stock Of precious met
ais is none too large, and ] see no rea-
son to apprehend that it will ever be-
come so. Mankind will be fortunate,
indeed if the annual production of gold
and silver coin shall keep pace with
the annual increase of population, com
merce and industry. According to my
view of the subject, the conspiracy
which seems to have been formed here
and in Europe to destroy by legislation
and otherwise from three-fourths to
onehalf the metallic money Of the
word is the most gigantic crime OF TINS
or any other age.
The contamination of such a scheme
would ultimately entail more misery
upon the human race than all the wars,
pestilence and famine that ever oc-
cure in the history of the world. The
absoll and instantaneous destruction
of half ne entire movable property Of
the wor including horses. ships rail
roads and all other appliances for car
rying on commerce, while it would be
felt more sensibly at the moment,
would not produce anything like the
prolonged distress ard Reorganization
of society that must inevitably result
from the permanent humiliation OF
one-half the metallic money of the
world.

Ex-,iove' aor Foraker. of Ohio, never
said truer thing than this, which was
in his remarks. AT the opening of the
Ohio campaign in Columbus last week,
at il not the demonstration of
silver that has hurt the farmer. but
the decentralization OF his markets.
The repeal OF the Mckinley law car
ried with IL the repeal of all the re-
ciprocity treaties In consequence
the exports OF our agricultural pro-
ducts fell OFF,"
Here are some of the facts which
sustain Ex-Governor Foraker's indict-
ment. The export values of agricul-
tural products for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1892, which was the first
full year under the Mckinley tariff,
were S799, 32s, 239.
Their percentage of all exports for
the same year was 1860.
In the fiscal year ending June 30,
1895, which was the first full year
under the Wilson tariff, the agricul-
tural exports were 1888. 215.3I7
And the percentage of these to total
exports was 69.Gs.
Here was falling off under the
Wilson tariff of S?46, 1928.
This is staggering sum for the
farmers. stock raisers and planters of
the United States TO charge up to the
folly of 1892 in listening TO the siren
voice of the Democracy and voting for
n ch nge, shat change which brought
first re threat, and then the fact of a
revolution in our tariff policy.
But this was not all, nor the worst.
With the paralysis of manufacturing
and commercial business that followed
.he advent of the Cleveland admins
kation. factories were closed, men
N all branches of business were thrown
out of employment their capacity for
consumption was reduced and the
nome market was impaired An in
Justrial census taken iu the latter part
of 1921 showed as compared with ls92:
a decrease of 56 per cent In the out.
pat of tactorics
A falling off of 30 per cent in the
number of hands employed.
A falling off of - per cent in the
amount OF WAGES plid
From this decreased ability TO con.
sumo literally the farmers market VS.

Nor is thi, all. Under the Wilson
tarlf imports of th. product, of farm

lSi7 To Sal 900. 600 in 1851, with almost
certainty of IA still further reduction

low rate of duties on foreign merchan-
disc. it was thought by those who es-
tablishcd it, would tend TO benefit the
farming population of this country by
increasing the demand and raising the
price of our agricultural products in
foreign markets. The foregoing facts,
{ however, seem to show incontestibly
that no such result has followed the
adoption Of this policy

Where Are the Bencfits?

If 80 cent silver dollars should double
the prices of farm products, it Is quite
as certain that the prices of all the
products which the farmer CONSUMES
would double lii the same way In that
case il is not easy TO see how the farmer
would gain anything by the free coinage
of silver Even the wages of labor, the
last TO rise in an epoch of deprecated
currency and inflated prices, would
finally, after much distress of the work
ingmeu, stragsle up to the common
level.
But whether the farmer should re
ccive 500 for 100 bushels of wheat and
pay out $40 for the necossaries of living
or should receive $500 for the same
wheat ana pay out $50, III both casc-
the balance on hand would have Jdst
the same purchasing power. But in &c
