Irishman's flea. The fact is that the
reciprocity idea, condemned as a
fraud by the democratic party, open
ed up many markets that are now
closed against us. A falling off of
upward of s200,000,000 in exports
may be the democratic notion of pro-
noting our national prosperity, but
to us it seems patent that the loss in
exports is a loss to the American
people, for which the democratic
party alone is responsible.
Again such word as "defcit"
was unknown in the modern treasury
statements Of the United States un-
til since the enactment of the present
free trade law. In the years 1894
and 1895, the deficit of revenues from
ordinary expenses of the government
was the sum of s112,60S,474. For
this deficit, the democratic party
alone is responsible.
During every republican admins
tration since the close of the war,
the interest bearing debt was de-
creased, 1898, ,5SS,950 beng paid by
the government during President
Harrison's administration. During
Mr.. Cleveland's present administra-
tion the interest bearing debt has
been increased s262, 100000, so that,
as a direct result of democratic con-
troll of affairs, we are to-day in debt

we were at the date of the Inaugural

eight years ago.
In all the talk and bluster over
the silver question, voters are, we
fear, losing sight to great extent of
this great issue, protection or free
trade. Democratic tariff policy has
closed our mills, injured our foreign
commerce, increased our public debt
and repeated the experience of the
The true northerner., 1896-10-14

C ountry in every free trade era since
the foundation of the government.
And yet the democratic party has
the assurance to come up serenely
and ask the people of the United
States TO elect William Jennings
Bryan, an avowed free trader OF the
most extreme type, a man who in
congress voted for the Wilson bill, as
he said, not because it was in his esti
nation an ideal measure, but because
it was a step in the right direction,
man who was one of those that car
ried VIM. Wilson on their shoulders
triumphantly through the house of
representatives after the passage of
the Wilson bill.
In spite of the loud free silver talk,
the democratic party is the same
old free trade party, with free trade
principles and a free trade candi-
date.
If the present tariff law is ''step
in the right directions" we believe
it is time to take step backward.
We cannot see how any protection
ist can vote the democratic ticket.
1t is idle for democratic orators to
indulge in mouthings about "Eng-
lish domination of our financial pol
ICY" while they themselves stand for
a free trade policy that experience
has shown enables foreign manufac-
turers to control our whole industrial
fabric.
The NoRTHERNER firmly believes
free silver would be a national dis
aster, but, did we not so believe, even
though we were ardent believers in
the free coinage theory, yet we would
not support free silver candidates II
in so doing we were forced, as is the
free silverite this year, to support
free trade at the same time. The
tariff policy Of the United States is
OF vastly more Importance to our
national prosperity than any other
government policy.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-

Those World Wide Markets.

One great cry of the free trader
has always been to open the "markets
of the world" to the products OF
American labor. We have had a
measure modelled on the free trade
plan, as the tariff law of the land for
the past three years. How have the
"markets of the world" been opened
to us9 In 1892, our exports amount
ed to s1,Oao,27s,14s; in 1895, to

The Farmer and the Railroads.

One of the misleading arguments
of "Coin" and his free coinage fol-
lowers, is that, in spite of the de-
pressed agricultural condition, the
farmer is obliged to pay as much to
the great railroad corporations for
the same service as when wheat was
worth upwards of dollar bushel.
The statement is not borne out by
the facts.

ceived for carrying freight, IA few of

The Matter Of Discriminating

OuUl6S.
OF the worlds ocean shipping, but
3.4 per cent is carried in American
ships, while SO per cent is the pro-
portion secured by the British mer-
chant marine. OF the foreign COM
merce Of the United States, about rs
per cent is carried IN British ships
and only about IL per cent in Amer
Jean ships. This was not always the
condition prevailing, and the decline
of the American merchant marine
has not come about without a cause.
a brief history of our national legis-
lation touching this interest will not
be Improbable.
The first act of the first congress.
signed by George Washington as
president, July 4, 1889, afforded pro-
lection to American ship owners by
the policy known as discriminating
duties;" that is, a higher duty was
exacted on imports carried in for
eign ships than in those transport
ed in American ships. At the time
of the enactment of that law, Ameri-
can ships carried but % per cent of
our commerce. The effect of the law
was at cnce felt, and the first year
after its adoption our ships carried
40 per cent, the second year 55 per
cent, the third year GA per cent, the
fourth year 70 per cent, the fifth year
So per cent, and thereafter, except
during the war of 1912, 80 per cent.
until the repeal of the discriminating
duties act in 1928, since which time
no such law has been re.enacted,
giving absolute free trade in the
carrying business. The effect of the
repeal was not SO sudden, as a mag
nifcent merchant marine had been
built, gotten big enough to get
along without protection, as our free
trade friends say of protected indus
tries to-day but it was none the less
sure. In 1861, American ships car
ried 66 per cent instead of 90, in
1866 only % per cent, and to-day IL
per cent.
Surely, these facts are astounding.
What interest can this have to the
Michigan voter? Simply this: While
Michigan is not seaboard state, it is
none the less interested in the well
fare of every legitimate American in
dustry, and especially one of any
considerable Importance. The for
eign commerce Of the United States
amounts to nearly two billions of
dollars annually, and the earnings of
ships carrying freights, passengers
and mails to and from the United
States aggregate s300,OOO,0OO per
annum. 70 per cent of this amount
is paid to British ship owners, and
only IL per cent to American ship
owners. Experience has shown that
90 per cent of this vast amount can
be turned to American ships by wise
discriminating duties, and the keep

free trade to cheaper them," has
been the democratic cry for years,
Now they say, "Goods are too low;

prices" Verify, the democracy is a
