REPUBLICAN, STATE CONVENTION.

Detroit Mich. Feb. al, 1890.
To the Republican Electors of the State of
Michigan;
The state convention of the republicans OF
Michigan is hereby called TO meet at the Audito-
rum, Detroit, on Thursday May 9TH, 1890, at IL
O'Clock noon, for the purpose of nominating four

Under the call of the national republican COM

two delegates and two alternate delegates to the
national convention which delegates shall be
chosen at district conventions, held with not less
than twenty zol days public notice and not less
than thirty [3ol days before the meeting OF the

The delegates from the several counties in each

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1896-04-08

Our free trade friends try to con-
vince the the farmer that he of all
men is the last TO receive benefit from
the republican policy of protection
and reciprocity; in fact that he does
not receive any such benefit whatever.
Now the average farmer is an intel
ligent, thinking man, and in the light
of his experience in the past three
years under the democratic policy of
tariff for revenue"-and mighty
little of that-and of antagonism to reel
procity, he has been convinced that
the democratic talk is delusion and
fraud. But on the other hand, many
farmers are inclined To look upon the
benefits to themselves as secondary
and contingent, resulting from the
prosperity of other industries under a
protective system. While the bene-
fit in this regard can not be over-es-
timated, there is also direct benefit
of immense proportions. Govern
ment statistics show that since the
repeal of the Mckinley law and it's
reciprocity features, the export of
cattle has fallen off more than Co.,
900 head per annum and that the
price has fallen about $50 per hun
dred weight during the same time.
The only sane reason that can be
assigned for this loss of the foreign
cattle market and the depreciation
in price, is that Germany and France,
incensed at the terms of the Wilson
iniquity, have placed such burden
some duties and stringent restrictions
on the importation of American live
stock and meats as to practically pro-
hibit our expectation of them into
those countries, leaving England
practically the only great European
market open to our cattle. This
is merely one branch in which the
farmers have been direct losers
through the repeal of the McKin-
ley law. BY an adequate protect
i've tariff, coupled with reciprocal
concessions to countries that receive
our products, we can easily force
open foreign markets.
