Why Mckinley is a Protectionist

or free trade tariff, four times since 1888,

excessive imports and decreased exports,

ufactories, low wages and enforced idleness
of our laborers, general inability to pay our
debts, widespread bankruptcies, universal
distress and financial ruin.
Second Because, haying tried protection
five times since 1888, 1t has never once
failed to cause increasing demand for labor,
prices for their family and household neces-
stiles, general and growing agricultural
prosperity, varied and multiplied industries,
strong development of our educational and
benevolent institutions, and an increase of
national wealth unprecedented in the his
tory of any other nation.
Third.-Because the foregoing results in
each case having been uniform, unfailing
and invariable, I am compelled to believe
that the said evil results are inherent in the
free trade system, and that the said good
results are not less inherent in the protec-
tive system.
Fourth. these things being so,
must prefer that system that brings uni
versal prosperity, rather than the one that
causes general and unavoidable adversely.

No more Free Dings for Him.

From the Ann Arbor Courier
A German farmer, in Scio, seems to I'M
derstand the situation pretty well. A pop
ulistic democrat was talking free silver to
him the other day when he turned and
said:
"DOt's all righdt. You one of dem fell
lers be what talked free trade to me four
years ago. You say vote for us, vote for
free trade and all dings be fine and goot.
vote for free trade and see! Every dings
bad My sheep all gone, no market for my
wheat, and corn and anyding what l raise;
evrey dings gone to dunder apd bitten!
you shoost go to hale mid your free silver.
vote no more free holdings! l vote mid
der republicans for protection, dots what
want"
And he left his popocratic free silver
friend in non plussed state to think over
the unfull6led promises of four years ago.
This is an actual occurrence. The name
of the sensible German farmer is not given,
for as he said he didn't want Ez. Norris

Byron Herald: III. Ii. Pulver, of Laings-
burg, is in the field for nomination for the
Office of prosecuting attorney for this coun-
ty. His chief competitor will be Mr..
Bumps, of Owosso. An Owosso gentleman
in our office recently speaking of the matter,
while not directly in opposition to Mr.. Pull
yer, seemed to make the Endorsement of
Pulver's candidacy great necessity with
the members of the bar. and was not sure
of any such indorsemehr.AA. lust on what
basis Mr.. Pulver's brother lawyess might
indorse or oppose him is not clear to us, but
one or two reasons presents itself as a
rational solution of the question. First, op.
position might arise from the fact of Mr..
Pulver being considered more than match
for any opponent in the trial of criminal,
and therefore between the defender and
fame as criminal lawyer, or it might pos
sibly be because jealous of the ability of the
Shiawassee bar, with doubts that Mr.. Pull.
yer could not fill the bill. We have strong
doubts that this latter can hardly be the
case, for with 1t must be granted an intense
desire on the part of the lawyers generally
that no guilty man should escape, which is
far too much to believe as sentiment cher
ished In the minds of all concerned, for we
are without evidence to lead us to any other
conclusion than this, that but few IL any
legal gentlemen can be found in this county,
or any other, who, with tempting consid-
Grafton in view, would refuse 10 defend the
worst criminal who might be put on trial,
for life or liberty, and in this would do his
level best to obtain an acquittal. The OPP
position of the bar, If it exists at all is too
thin for ordinary use, and had better be
relegated into inocuous desuetude.
The fair season will begin in less than
two months, and it is none too early to con-
slider the matter. The local fair, whether
county or not, should receive the attention
of every cultiyator, whether he be lama
teur" or professional, as those who culti-
vate plants of any kind as business are
called. A lively competition for the prizes,
however small, is the best way in which a
fair, large, or small, can be made of interest
to the whole community. Every cultivator
should make it point to- show his best
products, and If some person exhibits better
ones than his own he may be sure that there
is something about varieties, or their Guilt
walton that he should learn. Those en-
gagged in any branch of the agricultural
business should show their products at the
fair, If only for the sake of making them
selves and their business known. The dates
for our county fair this year are Sept. %, %,
"a, 25.

Under republican legislation, for thirteen
years succeeding July 1, 1879, the total
withdrawal of gold from the treasury only
amounted to $43, 310,S96. But under demo
cratic threats and free trade legislation,
from July 1, 1892, to May 20, 1896, the
Withdrawals of gold amounted to upward
of S447, 100000, and over 1851, OOO,0O OF
that amount has been exported to foreign
countries to make good the balances against
us in our trade relations. Under such a
disastrous policy how is it possible, with
the most favored conditions, to sustain our

may see fit to inaugurate?-Hon Robert j.

Richard F. Kay for Register of Deeds.

The withdrawal of our worthy register OF

register, coming Unexpectedly and at time
when it was generally conceded that he
would be renOminated by reclamation or by
first ballot at least, opens field hitherto

Under the circumstances the presentation
of names is unquestionably in order, and
for this reason the writer having been ac-
quainted with Richard F. Kay, of Woodruff
township, for upwards of thirty years, fully,
freely and conscientiously testifes to his
worth, capacity, ability, honesty, integrity
and competency.
To those who know him recommendation
is unnecessary, but to those unacquainted it
may be we'll enough to say that Mr.. Kay
was born in western New York and came to
Michigan when mere boy, with his father,
q Presbyterian minister, and settled two
miles north of the village of Shaftsburg, in
what was then almost wilderness compar-
atively speaking.
Here young Kay-then mere boy-grew
to manhood, inheriting vigorous constitu-
ton and healthy morals, until today, at
about fifty years of age, he stands with a
clean record and vigorous manhood and
asks the consideration of the convention
through his friends for the Office of register
of deeds.
His politics have never deviated point
from that of stalwart republican, but not
withstanding this fact and as an evidence of
the esteem in which he is held at home, he

Tariff is a Factor of Currency

To'the Scranton pa Times belongs the
credit of instituting comparison of the i'm
ports and exports of gold during democratic
and republican administrations.
During the fifteen years between and in
elusive of 1878 and 1892, all but four of
which were years of republican administra-
tion-and during the years of Cleveland's
first presidency, congress was republican,
so that republican policy prevailed-the
imports of gold were greater than the eX-
ports by SOL, 56S,31O. That is to say, the
United States received this vast sum of gold
from foreign countries.
But, taking the statistical abstract OF the
United States for 1895 as authority, and it
is report published by q democratic secre-
tary of the treasury, we find that during
the second term of Mr., Cleveland, during
the greater part of which the democrats had
control of the legislative and executive func-
tons, the exports of gold, in excess of i'm
ports, have stood thus:
1898 S 81, SOC, 463
lo5o----- -------------- oV,Sof,oll
1896 ------- 74,51f, 1852
The returns for 1896 cover only eleven
months, that is to say, from June 80, 1895,
to May, 1896. Thus there has been net
loss of Sl97, 531, 1O6 in gold during three
years and eleven months of democratic rule.
During fifteen years OF protective tariffs,
administered by republicans, the United
States were made richer by SOL, 56S, 80 of
foreign gold left in this country after its
current indebtedness of gold was paid to
foreign countries. During less than four
years of democratic tariff administered by
democrats, foreign countries were enriched
by $197, 531, 106 of United States gold paid
by the United States to them after all for
eign current indebtedness of gold was paid
to the United States.
That is to say, in less than four years the
democrats dissipated the net gain of Sl01,-
$40 won by republicans in fifteen years,
and in addition thereto sent sos, 1902, 796 of
American gold abroad.
This shows that protection to American
industries protects that American ''sold re-
serve" of which we hear so much nova
days. Under protection we sell more than
we buy, and are paid for 1t In gold. Under
democratic tariffs we buy more than we sell;
and have to pay for 1t in gold; for Europe
will not accept silver.
Hence 1t is plain that free coinage at 16
to l." or at any other ratio, cannot help us
greatly unless 1t be accompanied by protec-
ton. For our silver will not be accept
ed by Europe, and especially not by Great
Britain, and without protection we are and
must be dependent on Great Britain.

FREE SILVER IN COLOMBIA.
What 1t Has Done for the People of That
Country.

What 1t Has Done for the People of That
Country.
Experience is the truest teacher of the
world, and the very best way for American
citizens to inform themselves intelligently as
to the effect of changing our financial sys-
tenn to the silver standard is to study the
effect of the silver standard in the countries
where it is adopted.
We copy in today's paper letter from
Luther F. Mckinney, United States minis
ter-to Colombia, where they have precisely
the financial system that is demanded by
the Chicago convention, and that is advocat-
ed by Bryan and Sewell, the so.called
democratic candidates for president and
vice president.
In Colombia, as in this country, business
depression made the people discontinued.
are here, who taught them that cheap
money was the panacea for all their bus
mess misfortunes. This led to the enact
ment by the Colombia congress of law
making paper money legal tender for all
debts, to be redeemed in gold or silver at
the option of the government. That is
precisely what is demanded by Mr.. Byran
in every speech he makes.
The result of this experience in Colombia
is Just what 1t would be here. Gold is now
at premium of 100 per cent, and the mer-
chant of Bogota who pays debt in New
York, or in any of the other civilized coun-
tries of the world, must pay premium of
40 per cent upon his draft.
The effect of free silver upon the working
class is clearly exhibited in Colombia, as it
is In Japan, China, Mexico and India. By
reason of the great reduction in value of
money, wages have increased from 40 to 60
cents day in Colombia, but the working
man is compelle d to pay an increased cost of
200 per cent for all the necessaries of life.
Meats which formerly sold at 10 to Is cents
per pound now sell at 40 to so cents.
Minister Mckinney cleary demonstrates,
not from the experience of Colombia, but
from the experience of all the other free
silver countries of the world, that the re-
ductiOn of the money system to the silver
standard means CONFUSION and poverty,
and especially poverty to the man who
earns his bread by his daily labor.
1t is not question of sentiment nor is it
a question of politics. 1t is question of
bread to three-fourths of the people of the
United States, and it Is especially a vital
question to the workingman of the nation.
Let it be studied dispassionately and in in
diligently and there can be no doubt as to
the verdict Of the American people.-Phila-
dephia Times.
