TO SILVER REPUBLICANS.

The managers Of the free silver Popo-
crat campaign in this state are felicitat-
ing themselves over what they think is
Il clever scheme TO bag the votes Of many
Republicans for Bryan and silver mon
ometalism. They have worked up a
fusion movement to include about every
thing under the sun in opposition
TO Republicanism, giving the movement
no distinctive party name, thus seeking
TO impress the 'unsophistlcated" that it
is IA spontaneous uprising of "the people"
in favor of-what:
Yes, in favor of what? Let every Re-
publican in Michigan get the true an
sWer to that question and by it be duly
impressed.
Let him understand that this free sill
yer movement means not only silver
monometalism and debased dollars, but
that its Endorsement at the polls in No
vember would mean the perpetuation of
the present tariff policy which every
Republican from Maine to Oregon has
righteously condemned.
No Republican can vote the Bryan
ticket without voting for free trade and
for one of the most radical free traders
in the country.
No Republican can vote the Bryan
ticket without voting in favor Of subor-
dinating the federal to state authority
and making war on federal courts, AS
declared III the platform of the party
that nominated Bryan and Sewal
Let the Republicans of Michigan,
whatever may be their views on the
money question, take Il calm and candid
survey of the situation and avoid the
dangers confronting them. The money
question is only small part of the great
al that is at stake. They will realize
sooner or later that the welfare and
safety Of this republic and its cherished
institutions are in great danger if com
mitted TO the hands of repudiators and
revolutionists. They will realize sooner
or later, If they favor free silver now,
that they are favoring the very thing
which will give the nation its greatest
shock and plunge it into deepest dis
tress.
Let every Republican remain loyal
and true TO his party, the party that
has ever been loyal and true to the re-
public. That party never had greater
mission to perform than 1t has now
The situation appeals with tremendous
force to the united patriotism of the
country to come to the front and save
it from present dishonor and future dis
honor.

A Scarcity OF Business Ii the Principal



Talk about scarcity of money" is
constantly put forward as reason for
going into the free coinage OF depre
ciated dollars The talk Is specious
but misleading and cannot be too often
met. The fact Is there never was SO
much idle money in the country as
there Is now. An excellent authority
on this subject recently summed up
some of the main facts in the matter
thus: There is cause for failures and
depressions, but investigation will
show that none of them have been
caused by an insufficient amount of
circulating medium in the country
Millions of dollars are today lying idle,
not yielding one per cent of profit TO
the owner; millions more are being
loaned at and per cent. The saw.
ings banks have been and still are con
gested with money, and are seeking
opportunities for safe and profitable
investments, taking municipal bonds
at 3 and per cent interest. When
the government asked for loan of
500, 900, 900 in gold nearly 5000, 900, 600
were offered at rates ranging from 3 s
to ga per cent"
The statistical abstract of the United
States shows that in 1873 we had S751,-
SSl 500 in circulation, or Sls.04 per
capita. In 1894 we had l,666, sos. 70s.
or S24 % per capita. The total amount
of money available for circulation, in
1873, was STA, AS lO; in 1894 it was
81, APO, 434,7sl. Per capita, 1873, $ls.5S;
per capita, 1894, 1904.
What is needed now is not more
money nor cheaper money, but more
business To keep the money moving.
Opening the minis to foreign silver
will not accomplish this Opening the
mills to American labor by protection,
and foreign markets to American goods
by reciprocity will accomplish it.

The populists of the county are in
trouble again, fearing lest the free
silver party swallow them up in
the county campaign. The indie
pendent says, "out of - at their late
county convention, there were two can
didates for congress, one for county
clerk, one for sheriff. one for state sena-
tor, one for circuit court commissioner, ~
(and should have added one for judge
of probate, and one for register) 1.-The
populist party has for years contended,
in season and out of season, for free sill
yer. The Michigan democracy has
made the contention in their state plat
form now. After years Of labor after
much time and money has been spent
in upbuilding the cause Of free silver
by both Of these parties and at the
eleventh hour, those people step in
when they see the avalanche coming
and ask that all the honOrs and emolu-
meuts be bestowed upon them. Strange
as it may seem, the democratic party Of
Gratiot county has been hoodooed by,
and become a part of this combine, by
endorsing one of these men for con-
gress. What reason is given for this
action? We are told by the advocates
of this scheme that we must have har-
mony. Well, can't we get better har-
mony by having the few 90 to the many:
The tens go to the thousands. Or is it
absolutely necessary that the thousands
of populistS and democrats make ODE
sauce to the handful of silver menu
We sincerity hope the conglomoration
Will not get in row among them
selves, but the round up will be. if vic-
torous,a democrat Victory as usual.

Work for individuals.

The present campaign is not only
one of the most important that we
have had since the war, but it is pecul-
lar in its character. 1t is one in which
parties are shifting and opinions are
.hanging-a campaign in which the
Democratic party has surrendered
control to its own worst elements and
combined with an irresponsible popu-
lism.
This combination is conducting an
ldroit canvass. 1t assails the national
honor, but wells the assault under APP
peals to individual cupidity, and short
sighted self interest 1t juggles with
figures and makes slIillful use of falla-
eious arguments. 1t is not surprising
that many voters are little dazed and
uncertain as TO their course.
In this condition of affairs it is more
important than ever that the ordinary
campaign work of document distribu-
ton and speech making should be sup
plemented by the individual work of
intelligent farmer, business, profess
donal and laboring men. The best argu
ments are on the side of sound money
and of a well considered tariff system,
and the facts sustain the arguments.
The careful and painstaking presenta-
ton of these facts and arguments to
his doubling neighbors is the best
work that the intelligent business man
IAN do in this campaign. This kind of
work is going To- count this year for
much more than mere oratory, or the
influence of the professional politician.
But it will need TO toe persistent and
continuous. to be carried into the
school district and voting precinct
meeting as well as 10 the fireside and
the country store.
Common sense, commercial honesty
and patriotism will carry Michigan
every time when they are. properly
appealed 10.

THE ENGLISH LIKE 1T.
1t is Nuts for Them To Keep Our Finances
Muddled.

There are few clearer writer's on
finance in this country than Edward
Atkinson of Boston and here is what
he says about the demagogue utter
ances of Senator Daniels, of Virginia.
at Chicago and elsewhere.
I'm what repute can Virginia be held
and in what esteem can her merchants,
her manufacturers, her towns, counties
and cities be held when their leading
senator lends himself TO force bill of

nature of things, be but two:
First, that of the mine owners to
pick the pockets of the people while
deluding them with the idea that they
are giving them a benefit.
Second, that of debtors to defraud
their creditors.
Mr. Daniel thinks that the support
crs of the gold standard are doing their
work in Difference TO British influence,
when, in fact, he is one of the men, and
a very conspicuous one who is lending
himself To the support of British inter-
ests against the interest of his own

he employs 1900 men or more. His
remark on our present conditions was
this:
1--we have had a considerable mar
ltet in the United States for our ma
chinery in spite of your high duties.
We could not expect 10 retain it long
in the face Of your progress in making
iron and steel at the lowest cost but
we are developing our markets in Rus
sia Asia and Japan, and we shall hold
them against any possible competition
On your part SO long as you keep your
monetary system in confusion and
your credit bad. Therefore. the longer
you maintain the silver delusion and
keep yourselves handicapped to your
own discredit the better we like it. and
the longer your competition with us in
the markets of the world will be de-
ferred.

WHAT HURTS!
IT 10 THE EMONETIZATION OF
HIS MARKETS THAT HITS
THE FARMER.
Foreign Markets Thrown Away-Lessened
Invasion OF Imports

Ex-Governor Foraker of Ohio never
said "A truer thing than this, which was
in his remarks, at the opening of the
Ohio campaign in Columbus last week.
''It il not the decentralization Of
silver that has hurt the farmer, but
the decentralization Of his mark cts.
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 Forakers indict-
ment. The export values of agricul-
tural products for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1892, which was the first
full year under the Mckinley tariff,
were S799, 1913, 232.
Their percentage of all exports for
the same year was 1859.
In the fiscal year ending June 30,
1895, which was the first full year
under the Wilson tariff, the agricul-
tural exports were $3.50, 215, ait.
And the percentage of these to total
exports was 60 6S.
litl0 NdS ldllllln Oll biiS
Wilson tariff of S246, 1925.
This is a staggering sum for the
farmers, stock raisers and planters of
the United States to charge up to the
Jolly of 1892 in listening to the siren
voice of the Democracy and voting for
a change, that change which brought
first the 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
the advent Of the Cleveland admins
tration. factories were closed, men
in all branches of business were thrown
out of employment their capacity for
consumption was reduced and the
home market was impaired. An in
dustrial census taken in the latter part
of 1894 showed as compared with 1892:
A decrease of Sc per cent in the out
put of factories.
a falling off of 30 per cent in the
number of hands employed.
A falling off of Is per cent in the
amount of wages paid.
From this decreased ability TO con-
sumo literally the farmers market was
among the first to suffer.
Nor is this all Under the Wilson
tariff imports of the products of farm
and field increased, and the farmer not
only lost part of his foreign market,
but had his diminished home market
invaded by Canada and Europe.
The following are the official state
ments of imports of certain classes of
articles into the United States for the
fiscal years named:

Shall MINIS or Mills be Opened?

The Popocrats dwell much upon tn c
hard times as an excuse for asking the
country to make an experiment. They
say TO the voter: You're hard up, any
how, and you might as well risk this.
You cant be much worse off if it does
20 wrong" This is the kind of an ex-
pertinent they ask him TO make:
1--WE demand the free and unlim-
tied coinage OF both silver and gold
at the present legal ratio Of 10 to 1 &,
without waiting for the aid or con-
sent of any other nation."
The Republicans also see the dis
ire IS that has come to the people, and
their idea OF the remedy, as expressed
by Major Mckinley, is this:
at is good deal better To open
up the mills Of the United States to
the labor of Americans than to open
up the mInts Of the United States
to the silver Of the world"
1t is for American workmen TO Judge
whether they want 53-cent dollars for
the work that they do now, or 100
cent dollar for the work they might do
If our mills started up again.

The following in the Detroit journal

the nail on the head:
"For number of years beginning
with 1874 the Democratic party juggled
with the word reform" Every plat
form was full of reform. Reform"
becoming rather ancient they have of
late got another word TO lead the par
ade, and the new catch word of "free"
has been substituted for 'reform."
In 1892 it was free trade.
In 1896 it is free silver.
In 1900 it will be free soup.

Notwithstanding the contin ued de-

importations has been progressive SO
that in great many eases the imports
for the calendar year 1895 were greater
than for the fiscal year, those of wool

reaching 24S,0s9,217 pounds
The figures might be multiplied in

That was caused, not by the repeal
