also reported throughout the wheat belt
and reports of crop damage continued
to come in, country advices being to the
effect that wheat in the shock was
sprouting in many places. All outside
markets were stronger and had great
influence in advancing prices here.
Corn was strong and higher all day.
Influenced by the strength in wheat and

Pick the Best Men.

A number of the county conventions
which have already been held have set
a good example for those which are to
follow in selecting as delegates to the
state convention at Grand Rapids, some
of the strongest men and most reliable
Republicans in their localities. The
national convention framed platform
on which the loyal Republicans of
Michigan can stand and win, and the
national committee has outlined a good
general plan for the canvass. But in
a campaign where so many attempts
are made to break into party lines,
and where issues are presented in some
new forms we need to bring cur best
men to the front, both as delegates
and as candidates. There will be
no equivocation or evasion, we
take it, about the platform. There
should be wisdom shown in the
choice of candidates to make the can
vass, and for starter nothing is better
than rousing state convention. Let
us have as delegates men of the stamp
that gave character to the meeting
under the oaks in 1854, and to the hon.
est money convention in Detroit in 1878.

Why the DiAtinctionY

In large proportion of the mines
now worked in this country silver can
be profitably produced at 60 cents an
ounce, and it is now selling at a trife
over 60 cents. The free coinage people
propose that the government shall take
this silver, and by coming it, give it a
purchasing or debt-paying power TO
the owner of S1.29. Who gets the ben
eft? Not the government as it did
under the old coinage acts. Not the
people generally. The mine owners
alone. Why should the government,
that is, the people, confer such bene-
fit upon this one class of producers?
The silver product of the country in
1895 was actually worth about $50 ,OOO,-
900. The copper product was worth
s3s 200, 900, pig iron sos, 900, 900, soft
coal Sis, 900, 900 and the wheat product,
even with small yield and low prices,
was worth, in the New York market,
over $500, 10000 Why should the gov
eminent double the value of silver to
the mine owner and leave the other
products to take their changes at COM
mercial rates?

What Is Free Coinage?

A good many inquiries are made OF
the newspapers as to exactly what free
and unlimited coinage of silver means.
1t means that any one, citizen or for
eigner, individual or corporation, may
take bullion, old spoons or foreign
coin worth SO cents, and have it coined,
free of cost. into dollar with a debt
paying power of 100 cents. The word
unlimited means that there should be
no restriction as TO the amount of silver
thus coined, and the word independent,
often used in this connection, means
that this government proposes to try
that experiment without reference to
what any other nation is doing. Under
the Bland act the government pur-
chased bullion in open market and
coined 100000 silver dollars per
month and made whatever profit there
was on the coinage. Under the Sher-
man act it purchased 4,5O0,00 ounces
a month and either coined it or issued
silver certificates against it, the profit
going into the treasury. Under the
plan proposed by the Chicago conven-
tion and the free silverites the profit
would go, not to the government, but
to the individual or corporation that
carried the silver to the mint.

There Is probably no class of men In
the country, not even the manufsctur-
ers, who have suffered more during the
past four years on account of threat
ened and accomplished changes IN the
tariff than have the farmers. The
threat of modifying the tariff, on free
trade lines, commenced its mischevious
work as soon as the result of the elec-
ton in 1892 was known. From that
time on the agitation of the subject
was a constant menace and disturb
ance to business of all kinds, until the
passage of the Wilson German act COM
pleted the destructive work. The
farmers have suffered in two ways.
In the first place the paralysis of gen.
eral business, and especially of manu-
featuring, has diminished the consum-
ing power of the country so that the
home market is nowhere near as good as
it was in the prosperous times of 1892.
In the next place the Wilson tariff
gave unfair advantage to the farmers
and wool growers of other countries.
These are the main causes of the pres
ent low prices of farm products. A
third cause, which applies particularly
to wheat, is the opening up of new ter
ritory in the Argentine Republic and
in Russia, and the improved means of
transportation by which their surplus
can be taken to the European markets.
The last named cause is beyond our
reach. The other two can be remedied
by the voters at the next election.
What the farmer needs more than any
thing else is to have the tariff question
settled on the protective policy and
settled for life time, so thoroughly
settled that he will have time to raise
and market a crop before the question is
again agitated-time to grow flock of
sheep and get some benefit from them
before the tariff on wool is again taken
off. There is one way and only one to
accomplish all this and that is to elect
Mckinley president with good Re-
publican majority in congress But
multiplying words on the subject is
supertluous. The whole case was sue
cinctly stated in a single sentence by
Mr.. Mckinley himself in recent
speech, in which he said, ''What this
country needs is to get back to that pol
icy that will give us work and wages. {"

The number of individual Democrats
and Democratic papers that have
bolted the Chicago convention and
platform is constantly on the increase.
Early last week list of 80 such papers
was published and others have been
added since then. A few of them sup
port Mckinley, but most of them advo-
cate the calling of another Democratic
convention. The list includes 90 south
ern and II western papers, among the
latter being the Chicago Chronicle,
Abend Post and Stats Zeitung, the
Davenport, Iowa, Democrat, Detroit
Free Press, Lansing Journal, Lacrosse,
Wis, Chronicle, Milwaukee Journal,
Minneapolis Times, st. Paul Globe and
st. Louis Anseiger.
The list of individual Democrats in
Detroit who repudiate the platform
and ticket includes such prominent
party men as G. V. n. Lothrop and his
sons, John &. Hawley, Il. p. Hall, Robt.
Il. Gray, 5. l.. Smith, VIM. Ii. jackson,
w. j. Gray, Sidney L. Miller, Post
master John j. Enright, X. w. Gillett,
and many others. Some of their utter
ances are quite pointed, as for instance:
John G.. Hawley: Il think very badly
of the Chicago convention. 1t violated
all the historic traditions of the Demo
cratic party, and went over, body and
breeches to the Populists and anarch-
lists"
Cyrus G.. Lothrop: II think that 1
speak the sentiments of the whole fam
lily when | say that we cannot vote the
Democratic ticket on the platform
adopted at Chicago. We want nothing
TO do with that crowd or their ruinous
policy. hope to see the Democrats
defeated in every state in the union.
n With the Democrats on free
silver platform l shall be obliged to
vote the Republican ticket entirely"
VIM. j. Gray: Neither the candidates
nor the platform will do at all. can
not support either one"
Robert L. Gray: "Get the strongest
denuniciation of the platform and
ticket that you can find and credit it to
me-"
James d. May: II don't blame the
Free Press for boiling. Every respect
able Democratic paper in the country
is doing the same thing"
VIM. b. Jackon: Il cannot accept
the fallacy of the free silver doctrine
in the Democratic party. l cannot
vote the Democratic ticket on that
basis.
5. L. Smith: Il do not think the
Democratic platform is sound Demo
cratic principle and do not purpose to
vote for it"
Postmaster Enright: Il would not,
on such platform vote, for Thos. JEFF
ferson if among us.
T. =. Hall: The tariff question is
not the issue, neither is it the silver
craze, for that is but stepping stone
to some thing worse, the utter de-
struction of free institutions. These
revolutionists are striking at the very
foundations of society"
These local utterances may very
properly be supplemented by one from
Jas. II. Eckles, controller of the cur
rency THE larger the contribution
of Democratic votes to the defeat of the
Chicago nominees the better in the end
for the Democratic party"

Voters will remember that as party
lines are drawn this year free silver
and free trade go together. The voter
cannot be too often reminded of the
tariff plank in the Chicago platform,
which proposes to perpetuate the Will
son tariff schedule and emphasizes the
theory that tariff duties should be
levied solely for purposes of revenue. !"
