The Wilson Tariff Working.

TheWilson tariff is working as Gro
yer Cleveland predicted it would. II
is yielding all the revenue required,
and never would have done less had
not the Supreme Court knocked the
income tax out. 1t has yielded an
other surplus, this time for April Of
$6,0O0,000. The total deficit now
would be only $l9,O00000 if the last
Congress had not recklessly increas-
ed appropriations without adding a
dollar to the revenue, aud there is
today a net balance in the Treasury,
above the gold reserve, of $l28, 000,-
600, The folly Of moving heaven
and earth, putting business on the
rack, and running big chances Of
turning the country over to the Brys
ante Democrats, all for the profess
ed purpose OF getting money into a
Treasury which already has too
much, is apparent on mere state
ment Of the facts. The Wilson tariff
is clearly working out its own re-
demption, and would have done we'll
enough if left alone. Business men
had become accustomed to it, and
we're abundsntly content to work
out their salvation under it. Now
things are being turned upside down
and the end is not yet.

said soothingly, "but the law is

Tho Cause of SPANS Weakness.

II Spain bad kept Der forests she
might now easily keep Cuba. When
her woods were cut away she lost
her springs and rivers; Herewith
she lost her farms and means OF
livelibood; she Lost her food and
wealth, her schools aud arts; her
population diminished, her initiative
disappeared; therefore, she is to-
day weak nation, unrecogpized
among the powers. All this is the
truth Of history, and should bring
home to the people OF the United
States an important lesson. We ave
denuding our forests at an alarming
rate; for which senseless act of
spoliation those who are to come
after us will pay only too dearly.
Keep the forests that we may have
rivers, keep the birds that we may
have crops, aud we shall continue
to be great people. Save the big
trees, save the redwoods, the pines,
the spruce, and all the rest of the
forest giants, and then the rains
will come in due season, the soil will
bring forth abundautly, and wealth
will remain and increase through
out all our borders. Let us learn
all this from the present impover-
ished condition Of old Spain. She
will lose Cuba because she has no
money. Her debts are crushing
her worse than are the arms OF the
Cubans. These remarks, in princi.
pie, apply to Hawaii.

The Libel Law.

1t does not seem 10 be understood
as generally as it might be that there
Is vast difference between libel
trials and those OF other suits. In
all cases, save those Of libel the jury
is bound to take the law from the
court and are judges only in the
facts. The exact opposite is the rule
involving the freedom of publica-
ton. Our state constitution pro-
vides "that in libel cases the jury
shall be judges of the law as we'll
as of the facts" The court may
rule out question after question, and
counsel may keep on repeating them,
because in the end the jurors are
sole judges of whether they were
proper questions or not. They and
they alone are the sole judges Of
whether the matter sought to be
brought out was material to the
issue or not, If the questions be
not put, despite any ruling of the
court, there is no law before the
jurors upon which they can exercise
their constitutional right OF passing
an opinion, and hence the necessity
OF bringing out both law aud facts.
We doubt very much the right OF
the court to charge the jury at all
in libel cases. If they, and not he,
are judges of the law what remains
for him to talk to them about7 Any
thing he say is merely er Cathedra
and to which they are bound by
their oaths to pay no attention
whatever. Upon them alone rest
the responsibility of what is law,
and what are legal rulings in cases
of the nature we are referring.
Judges endeavor to try these cases
as they do others, they rule in and
rule out question as if they alone
had control Of the law, but, as we
have shown, that is far from being
their right. In fact it is mere usur-
patton OF power, not warranted by
the constitution. AS a matter of
dry fact, we believe that, if the law
we're strictly followed, the jury ought
to be polled every time the compel
ency of question is involved. This
OF course would be inconveuient,
but it would be the law. This strong
buttress to the liberty Of the press
We came by in a grand historical
way that leaves no doubt OF The ORR
ginal intention. The Kings of Eng
land in other days had the power OF
packing the benches with their crea-
lures, who, in most cases, were Sc
lected for the express purpose Of
preventing free discussion. They
declared that "the greater the truth
the greater the libel" aud would let
no testimony go to the jury except
as to the fact OF publication. After
long and stubborn fight, the
House OF Commons was induced to
see the necessity of changing the
law Of libel, taking away from the
judges and giving to the jury, all
power to decide what was law and
what was not This safeguard all
American constitutions have copied
verbatim Ell Rteratin,. 1t is in the
fundamental law OF California. 1t
is the Supreme law of the State. II
jurors we're to ignore it, they would
be forgetting how they came by the
rights and liberties they possess,
aud would be recreant to their oaths.

FIRST EXCURSION OF THE SEA.
SON TO TOLEDO.

Sunday, May 18th, the Ann Arbor
Railroad will open the season with an
excursion to Toledo. Special train will
leave Alma at GLIB q. III. Fare for the
round trip only $3.50. Children under
twelve years of age, half this rate.
Lake Erie Park and Casino which has
afforded such enjoyment to our patrons
during past two seasons, will be opened
OH that date on scale of magnificience
never before equalled by any place of
amusement in this country. Thousands
of dollars have been expended since last
season on improvements and additions.
notable among which are Thompson S
Famous Scenic Railway, Worlds Fair
Scenic Theatre, Marsden's Mystic Maize,
and other attraction too numerous to
mention. The Theatrical Entertainment
arranged for the opening day will be
strictly first-class. Don't miss it.

Manufacture Of Tin Plate.

Contracts have been awarded by the
National tin plate company OF Ander'
son, Ind, for the buildings for its new
plant, which will be erected at Belle
Vernon, that state. The plant is to be
the largest tin mill in America, and is
intended to compete for seaboard trade.
The plant will include eight mills. The
rolls in each will be larger than any
heretofore used in this country and will
enable the company to make very
much larger plates. About 300 men
will be employed when the plant is run
ming.
1t is not so very long ago that the
democrat press of this country was
laughing at the idea of America max
ing tin plates in competition with the
great mills in Wales and other parts
of England. The idea was said to be
simply an argument III favor Of pro-
tective tariff 1t seems to have been a
pretty good idea at that Had 1t not
been for the protection afforded the
tin plate makers by the Mckinley tariff
bill, there probably would not have
been a sheet of tin plate made in this
country up to date. The opponents OF
the protective tariff idea have most ve-
hcmently declared that tin plate manu-
featuring could not be established in
this country. The absurdity of this
statement is seen in the steadily in
creasing number of tin plate mills in
operation. Not only will the American
people make their own plates, but the
price of the article will be reduced in
the natural course of competition, and
IN addition the proposition is made to
go after foreign trade. This can be
done with the superiority OF workman
ship in the American mills, the i'm
proved machinery used and the nat
ural hustle of the Yankee spirit. The
tin plate industry is of great impor-
lance to this country as it not only
allows the consumer to buy at home,
but furnishes employment to a large
number of American workman.
Having disproved the statements of
the enemies of progress and of Ameri-
can workman that tin plates cannot be
made here, it is fair to presume that
under the new tariff bill soon TO be
enacted, there will be other important
steps forward which will give more
work to the American mechanic and at
the same time help to furnish the gov
eminent with revenues for the admin
istration of its affairs. With an income
as great as the expense we will soon be
paying off some of the debts caused by
the deficits of the late administration.

The reason bank circulation has been
decreasing through a term of years,
and why it is inelastic, remaining al
most without change from season to
season, is that the security for 1t is q
deposit Of government bonds. The
bank capital is in the treasury instead
of in business. The profits on circula-
ton decline as the bonds increase in
value or the rate of interest declines,
and the redemption process is slow and
ineffective. The dangers Of the gov
eminent currency and the deficiencies
of the bank currency are now pretty
well recognized, and every day shows in
creased earnestness in the demands Of
business men for q complete and per
manent cure.-Iron Age.

Japan I'm n New Light.

Now that japan is on the brink Of
placing her currency on the exclusive
gold basis, we presume that we shall no
longer be worried with fearful visions
of her growing industrial supremacy,
which was alleged TO be due to the sil-
yer standard. 1t was affirmed that
whatever goods japan sold in this coun-
try, being paid for In gold, practically
doubled the sellers income when the
proceeds were converted into silver.
And this tremendous advantage the
japanese now relinuuish.
