This is an increase that has espe-
cially affected the farmers of eastern
Michigan. who find good portion of
their markets in Detroit.
In beans, vegetables and small fruits
Canadian competition is even sharper
than il is in the articles mentioned,
and this especially hits the gardeners
in Wayne, Macomb, Washtenaw and
Oakland counties, who ship or drive to
Detroit for a market. The value of
fruit alone imported through the De-
troit custom house during the past
fiscal year was S74,S5l.
1t is at time like the present that
the evils of the ad valorem system of
levying duties appears. Under the
Mckinley law there was a duty of 25
cents bushel on apples. Under the
Wilson law the duty is 90 per cent.
At the present price of this fruit this
amounts to no more than four cents a
bushel, so that now Canadian apples
come in practically free to help flood a
market already glutted.
Michigan farmers! A vote for Bryan
is vote to continue the great wrong
that is done you under the present law.
vote for Mckinley is vote to re-
store the far more favorable conditions
that existed under the Mckinley bill.

upon that article In order that the
price of the article may be so much In
creased that our people can afford TO
produce IL. You mean that the man
who buys that article shall pay into
the public treasury the tariff upon the
article. and you expect that this, to-
gether with the price, will be sufficient
To protect somebody else.
There is question, Mr.. Chairman,
when you come to consider the details
of a revenue tariff, as To just how IL
ought To be laid. | believe, and am
ready To stand by IL anywhere, that
protective tariff levied not to raise
revenue. but To protect some particular
industry, is wrong in principle and
vicious in practice"
Mr.. Perkins: Are you to be under
stood as opposed To "a state or national
protection to be extended to the beet
sugar industry?"
Mr.. Bryan: Il am most assuredly." :"
Mr.. McKenna: do you really believe
that the protective policy is similar To
the pickpocket's policy of putting a
mans hand into another mans pocket
and extracting money from it?"
Mr.. Bryan: "Yes, that is my belief. )"
Il care not, for the sake of the
argument, which position is true. One
of three conditions must exist at this
time. We have imposed a tariff on wool;
we may have given compensatory
duty, which is equivalent TO that tariff,
upon wool in all in all its manufactured
FORMS The manufactures of wool
must, if he buys foreign wool, pay this
duty. Now, if the farmer gets no in
creased price for his wool because of
protection. and the manufactures deals
honestly with the people and does not
charge them anything extra, then the
removal of this duty will still bring re-
lief to the consumers of woolen goods
by reducing the price of imported wool
without affecting the price of the farm
ers homegrown wool. Thisis the first
condition which may exist"
Later in the debate in answer to a
question Mr.. Bryan said: 1--WE are
only beginning an attack which will
be continued as long as there is any
thing to remedy"
He is still of the same opinion. Is
that what the farmers and manufac-
turers of Michigan want?

Garbled and misleading quotations
have been made from Mr.. Blaine's
speech of Feb. Z, 1873, the purpose of
the Misrepresentation being to show
that he favored the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. The
whole drift of his speech was adverse
to such coinage and here is one para
graph in which The objection is very
explicitly stated.
"Our line of policy in a joint move
ment with other nations to remone tie,
is simple and direct. The difficult
problem is what we shall do when we
aim TO re-establish silver without the
cooperation of European powers and
really as an advance movement to
coerce those powers into the same
policy. Evidently the first dictate of
prudence is to coin such a dollar as will
not only do justice among our citizens
at home, but will prove a protection
an absolute barricade-against the gold
monome tallists of Europe, who, when
the opportunity offers, will quickly
draw from us the one hundred and
sixty millions of gold coin which we
now hold. II we coin silver dollar of
full legal tender, obviously below the
current of value of the gold dollar, we
are opening wide our doors and invit-
ing Europe TO take our gold. With our
gold flowing out from us we shall be
forced to the single silver standard and
our relations with the leading CONNER
cial countries of the world will be not
only embarrassed but crippled"
