A CONTRAST.
The Party of Obstruction and the
Party of Action.

The Party of Obstruction and the
Party OF Action.
The difference between Democratic
and Republican capacity for admins
tratiOn is pretty well shown by the
course of the two parties on the issues
that were prominent in the last two
campaigns. The Democrats came into
power four years ago with a president
pledged to a revision of the tariff, and
with clear majority in both houses
of congress. The mere threat of
what they would do caused. q derangc-
ment of business, and they had not
been in power three months before the
country was suffering under the worst
panic it had experienced for 20 years.
Some ascribed this to the Sherman law,
which the Democrats had pledged
themselves to repeal, and others
charged it to tariff agitation. What
ever the cause the situation demanded
Immediate action, yet it was August be-
fore the Democratic president dared
call the Democratic congress together,
and three months after that before lie
could secure final vote ON the repeating
act. 1t was year and five months
after the Democratic administration
came into power before tariff bill
was passed, and then the bill was not
satisfactory either TO protectionists or
to free traders.
Meantime business Of every kind was
suffering from the paralysis which un-
certainty causes, no one being able to
make plans for more than a month
ahead.
Now mark the contrast The newly
elected Republican president has con-
gress in session just IL days after lie is
inaugurated, with tariff bill framed
and ready for consideration. 1t re-
ceives speedy attention in the house.
with every prospect that it will pass
that body in three or four weeks. If
it does not become law inside of three
months it will be the fault OF the
senate, In which the Republicans have
not a clear majority.
But this is only the old story over
again. Ever since the war the De-
mocracy has been the party of obstruc-
ton, and the Republicans the party OF
action.

The fac III
''; Il; :';.GMz2zz- 4 4 !:
Beet Sugar Industry.

The beet sugar industry seems destined at
no distant day to become one of the great
industries of this whole country. From
nothing in 1886 the beet sugar production
of the United States grew to As, 953, 1854 lbs.
in 1898 and for the last two years the esti-
mated production exceeded so, 600, 900 lbs.
While this may seem large quantity it
sinks into comparative insigniicance when
compared with the 5000, 900, 600 lbs. pro-
duced annually in GERMANY. But 1t is more
than 80 years since Germany began to give
substantial encourap ement to the beet suxar
industry. In spite Of difficulties, not the
least of which was the removal of the sugar
bounty by the enactment of the Wilson law,
the beet sugar industry seems to be firmly
planted In the United States and but waits
the encouragement necessary to spring into
vigorous life. Already there are factories
in operation at Grand Island and Norfolk,
Nebraska, at Chino valley and jacksonville
and Alverado, Cal, at Lehi City, Utah, and
Eddy, New Mexico. Besides these there
are In contemplation six or eight other fac
tories and these could be increased, possibly
to 60 or 80, with proper encouragement.
The cultivation of the sugar beet is far more
profitable than the raising of wheat oats or
corn. 1t Is estimated that five acres In sugar
beets will pay as large net profit as 100 or
200 acres OH the average sown in wheat or
corn. The area definitely known to be
adapted to the production of sugar beets
containing from 10 to IS per cent of sugar is
New York, Virginia, North Carolina, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa,
Minnesota, the Dakotas. Kansas, Nebraska,
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, California and
Washington. Experiments have been made
in several Michigan counties with the re-
cplfo fnIlouinu.

Under this vignctte you will find the
would be judicious act to cast a
straight vote.
Our opponents are inclined to fight
the present local campaign on national
issues, and certainly the Republicans
have no occasion to evade that kind of
contest. We are ready to take 1t either
way.
Wherever the campaign turns upon
the personal character and fitness or
the candidates, we point to men on ouk
state ticket whose natural qualifca-
tons and wide experience challenge
comparison with the candidates upon
any other ticket.
Wherever the contest is made upon
national issues the Republican party
occupies the same ground that it did
last fall. 1t won then by majority
that staggered its opponents. It's tri-
pmph may be equally decisive this
spring with little effort.
The spring campaign is usually a
quiet one, and this is no exception to
the rule. Orr opponents are not maxi
ing much noise, but it will not answer
to presume that they are going to stay
at home on election day. They want
all the local offices they can get, and
can be depended upon to make Il still
hunt for votes for the state ticket at
the same time.
What the Republicans ought to do.
the very least they should permit
themselves to do, is to get out CORE
spondingly large vote.
Don't let either Indifference or over
confidence leave us with n majority so
small that 1t will be interpreted as an
opposition triumph.

THE SAND OLD ISSUE.

Was Last Fall.

Was Last Fall.
Although the state officers to be
elected in Michigan this spring will
have nothing TO do with the making of
national laws, still tho campaign
should not be deemed unlmportant in
respect TO national issues. The Re-
publican convention ut Detroit reaf-
firmed the st. Louis platform, and pro-
nounced anew its allegiance to sound
Republican principles. The conglom-
crate convention ut Grand Rapids ac-
ceptol the Chicago platform, with its
Altgcld attachments. and its free trade
declarations. The verdict Of Michi-
gan last fall was pronounced in favor
Of the former The state cannot az
ford this spring To declare in favor OF
the latter
A failure to return n good Repub-
lican majority ut this time will be re-
Garded as Il weakening of lie Rrpub-
lean forces. and will be- discourage

MOrgan's Grove Fair.

At a meeting of the directors Of the
Morgans Grove fair last Saturday it
was resolved to charge % cents ad-
mission to the exhibition this year,
the increase being made necessary by
the growing needs of the association
and the desire to provide additional
attractions. 1t was also resolved to
sell family season tickets, good for all
four days, at one dollar, and single
season tickets for fifty cents. Stock
holders will be entitled to one COM
plimentary ticket for each share Of
stock they hold, and the exhibitor Of
three or more meritorious articles will
receive a free ticket Of admission. 1t
will be seen by the above arrange
ment that there is little or no increase
to our home people, The design being
to make the visitors from distance
paw little more. Stockholders and
exhibitors will still be admitted free,
while the season tickets will give cheap
admission to families and individuals.
Mr.. John P. Kearfott was made an
additional member of the executive
committee.
