hands holding aloft the banner of protec-

Alegan Gazette: The most strenuous eff
forts were made to debase the republican
party to the service of unsound and dishon-
est finance, and this persistence was carried
to the utmost limit, the boiling from the
convention of the representatives of the de-
fusion of free silver coinage. But against
all this the party stood firmly as the hills
and put forth plain, honest, unequvocal
declaration in favor OF financial wisdom and
commercial honor. Unlike the resolution
of four years ago, there is no ambiguity
about the financial plank of 1896. 1t draws
the issue clearly and sharply, and around it
the party will solidly rally.
Ionia Sentinel: "All our silver and paper
currency must be maintained at a parity
with gold" BY this sign we conquer.
Somebody Is sending out over the state
marked copies of the Detroit Tribune of

Gen. Alger i'm an interview after his re-
an ideal ticket and an ideal platform, and
the Teller bolt will not affect the result and
there is no likelihood that it will affect us at
all in Michigan. There is great deal of
reported free silver sentiment and presume
there will beta great deal of criticism made
by silver men concerning the platform, but
doubt IL this will continue after they have
fully considered the platform. The plat
form simply says that the money standard
shall remain where it is. Nothing what
ever needs to be done to carry out the full
terms of the financial plank. No laws need
to be enacted nor changes made. Silver
will remain legal tender and as the demand
for 1t increases 1t will without doubt be, by
congress, ordered coined. 1t seems to me
that those who are talking so much about
free silver would like to make it appear that
the republican party in its national platform
is advocating some change, when as mat
ter of fact all we ask is that the financial
policy be left as it is now. If the platform
said these words: Leave the monetary sys-
tenn of the country exactly as it is now,' it
would but express the platform exactly as
it is. l cannot emphasize that any too
strongly"
incidentally Gen, Alger said that he
hoped congress would see fit hereafter to
withdraw the 81 and 50 bills from circua-
ton and permit silver to take their place in
the money market. He characterized the
action of the silver advocates at the national
convention in this way:
IF l owned silver mine in the upper
peninsula and asked the government to buy
my product l would be exactly in the posi-
ton of the silver men. l do not believe
they are at all looking out for the general
interests of the government. They are
looking after their personal pockets. The
price of silver is down no more than is the
price of every product in the country.
They might as well demand that the country
put up the price of copper, iron or wool, as
to put up the price of silver. They simply
want to open the silver mines"

If the policy of protection is not to be just
in its application and national IN its scope,
based upon broad principle then the sooner
1t is relInquished the better. 1t cannot be
sustained, and ought not to be, for one class
or interest or section and denied to others
equally within the contemplation of its pur-
pose. The raw materials class have rights
which cannot be ignored. Those who think
otherwise forget that the advanced product
is only the manipulation of the less ad-
vanced, and the less advanced of the still
less finished product, with human labor as
the chief factor in all; and protection upon
the one cannot be successful and perma-
nently maintained without protection of the
other.-Hon. VIM. Mckinley.

Sunday Observance.

The sermon of Rev. w. b. Matteson Sun
day evening upon "How to spend Sunday"
was of especial interest in view of the way
certain visitors to Owosso had spent the day
the week before. He said the present ten
dency toward Sunday dissertation was partly
a reaction from the old Puritan severity and
partly owing to the foreign immigration.
While the standard of morals in the COM
munity is never as high as in the church,
yet it rises and falls with the rise and fall
in the church, and he inquired whether
something we're not wrong with the church
and Christian people when such things
would be tolerated. Is Sunday worth pre-.
serving? Physical, mental. and moral
needs of man all answer yes, as the speaker
clearly showed, and then in coming to the
topic of the best way in which to spend the
day he said that what was permissible to be
done on Sunday must be settled by the
query as to whether the doing of that thing
would make one nobler and better man;
whether it would bring him nearer to the
great and good God of nature; improve his
mind and cultivate his affection, especially
In the home life, or whether IL would tend
in the opposite directions. This should be
the test applied and If honestly and lntelli-
gently applied Sunday would stay. 1t can
not be spared.

And not let him know what's your game,
An you needn't rant out about populists,
Or say silverites needn't be proud.

And he'll holler "O'Donnell" quite loud.

warning to trainers OF the st. Louis plat |
form. A more senseless position could not
be imagined. We concede that Mckinley
will be elected, but urge you to vote against
him so as to rebuke the party" says the
Tribune.
And further take note, that the Tribune
urges the defeat of every candidate for con-
gress in Michigan or elsewhere who stands
on the St. Louis platform. "Better far
democrat"
Thus the Tribune under its Evening News
management, openly opposes the republican
party because forsooth it does not surrender
to the free silver crowd. The Tribune
does not state the situation correctly and
argues from false assumptions.
The republican party of Michigan is thus
warned against this paper. BY its own con-
fession it is the enemy of the party and its
candidates. 1t prefers a democratic to
republican congress. Republicans will re-
member this during the campaign. The
traitor in the camp has been discovered by
his own confession. -Kalamazo Telegraph.
The Platform Means What It Says.
When General Benjamin Harrison, then
president of the United States, said that
protection was not matter of schedules
but of principles, he comprised the whole
question. Mr.. Thurston enlarged little
upon Harrison's definition when he assured
the st. Louis convention and the world that
the republican party will insist upon ''pro-
lection that protects, and reciprocity that
reciprocates, thereby securing the best mar
ket to American products, and opening
American factories to the free coinage of
American MUSCLE" This eloquently ex-
pressed sentiment provoked uproarious en-
thusiasm. Schedules are matters of detail
that can be arranged easily when congress
is informed by the principles of protection.
The platform of the republican party will
be protective to all. The pensioner will be
protected in enjoyment of his pension; the
farmer in the market for his wool and grain.
The workman will be protected against UNI
restricted competition with the ill-paid labor
of the old world. And the producer of sill
yer will be protected also against undue de-
preston of his metal.
For the currency resolution concludes
thus:
All our silver and paper currency must be
maintained at a parity with gold, and we
favor all measures designed to maintain in
yiolably the obligations of the United States,
and all our money, whether coin or paper,
at the present standard, the standard of the
most enlightened nations of the earth.
The personal organ of gold monometal-
list declares that ''the last sentence is sur
plusage." But it knows better. The reso-
luton means what it says, and not more nor
less than it says. The committee on reso-
lutions was not body of tricksters, and the
was not body that could be de-
ceived by tricksters.
The platform in the main is what The |
Inter Ocean has insisted that it would be, |
a declaration for protection, prosperity, and |
patriotism. 1t may please the mugwump to |
argue that the platform is something differ
ent from what it appears to be, but the peo-
pie will believe that it is just what it is

Element Of the Venezuelan question, by
submitting it to a court Of arbitration.
says:
The LOCUS standi of the United States,
which the Marquis of Salisbury at first
denied, is now undisputed, and is ac-
cepted even to the length of ruling out
Venezuela. We would much rather
settle with the United States. but we
naturally look to the United States to
go bail for Venezuela in return. To
this assertion of the Monroe doctrine,
the most satisfactory point of all is
appended a general arbitration agree

the agreement will not throw into
arbitration ''all the sparsely settled

The Pail Mail Gazette thinks that

The Globe welcomes the agreement
'because it releases the American gov

Continuing, The Globe says: "Wher
