How silk Manufacturers Regard the Influx
OF Foreigners.

How silk Manufacturers Regard the Influx
OF Foreigners.
Certain newspapers of free-trade pro-
clivities are still very greatly concern
ed about the "infux Of silk concerns
from abroad, which they pretend to
think will ruin the home manufacture.
And they blame it all on to the Dingley
tariff that closes the door to foreign
imports of silk more etfectually than it
was closed in former years.
Now, we chance to possess some
knowledge as to the views of our man
ufacturers OH this subject, and are in
a position to say that they are better
satisfied to see foreign competitors on
this side of the water paying American
wages and American taxes. Their
competition then is a known quantity
and can be met, and the general con-
ditions are equal, which is far from
the case with foreign goods made at
half the wages paid here.
This is free country. The Ameri-
can manufacturer has no cause for
complaint against competition here
that he can meet, but he has right to
complain OF a tariff that gives a foreign
maker an advantage through cheap
wages that cannot be overcome as long
as American workers demand more for
their labor and insist on shorter hours
of work.
Many of our manufacturers are men
who came from abroad. They concede
to all others the right they enjoyed in
entering this market. Their worst foe
is not ''this influx" but "a tariff policy
that gives European and Asiatic COM
petitors an unfair advantage. At the
worst "the influx" can only divide the
market, while free or "freer" trade
would turn it entirely over to the for
eigners. Silk Journal.

REUNION OF RuSSELLS.


Have Their Annual at Baldwin Lake-Ali
Are Defendants of Josiah Russell.
The fourth annual reunion on the
defendants of Josiah Russell was held
at Baldwin Lake, June 16, 1898.
The day was an ideal day for pic
mic and there were eighty-eight OF the
members of the association present, In
cluding the first, second, third and
fourth generations. Those from out Of
town were Lyman Russell OF Luther,
Il. A. Russell of Portland, Hastings
Russell of Thornville, Halbert Russell
of Lapeer, Mrs. Julia Varnum of Vas
sar, Mrs. Phoebe Reynolds of Thorn
vile, E. II. Clark wife and two sons,
OF Howard City, and Mrs. puffey, Har-
ward.
After sumptuous dinner, Palmer
Fales, who was prepared with his
kodak, arranged the company in
groups and took some snap shot pie
lures which were very good indeed.
The hours sped all too soon. As the
sun sank to rest, all dispersed to their
several homes with the pleasant
thought of a day happily spent, but
with regrets for the many who were
unavoidably absent; one of those absent
ones being our soldier boy, Bingley
Russell Fales, who all knew was that
day with SIMPSONS fleet off the coast
of Santiago de Cuba. He had always
been the gayest of the whole gay COM
pany. All missed him SO much and
offered silent prayer for his safe re-
turn. The sad thought will come that
each year some one of US will have
passed to that land from which no
traveller returns.
The officers were reelected for the
ensuing year. The date of the meet
ing is June oath, 1899, at Baldwin
Lake. All are cordially invited who
are the defendants of Josiah Russell.

Harry Moore, son of M. H. Moore OF
this city who worked in the refrigera-

following letter from camp. He went
from here to Chicago and enlisted:
PORT TAMPA, Fla, June IA, '98
DEAR FATHER:-Our mail has been
held until today so could not write
until today The fleet has sailed from
here for Cuba or some of the islands.
That is the first expedition, the last
boat passed our camp about two hours
ago. They have been anchored out in
the bay, some of them week. The
big seige guns were too heavy for the
wharf and they had to repair it, SO it
delayed it three or four days. We eX-
pect to go on the next expedition
which is for Porto Rico | think. We
are in the old camp of the First U. S.
Infantry and do nothing but guard
work. We guard the powder and
dynamite on the island, the coal on
docks, the powder train on the rail
road, and at Port Tampa City the
town, provost Guard, and the powder
house in Port Tampa City. The dis
patch boat Buccanur of the New York
Journal has heavy guard on it with
orders to hold her at all hazards and
the reporters are wild. All the war
news previous to this date has been all
guess work, no facts could be obtained.
The mail was stopped from Key West
to Atlanta, Ga, until the fleet sailed.
The four gunboats, Helena, Annapolis,
Morell and Bancroft were in the bay
just opposite our camp. Saturday five
OF us swan out to the Helena but they
would not let US come any nearer than
100 feet. The bathing is fine in this
salt water. ] go in every day. The
thermometer registers 1876 degrees in
the sand and in the shade SO degrees.
There are only three or four sick in
the whole regiment and one or two
that were hurt in accidents. We do
not mind the heat though, we are used
to it now, but / pity the men that come
from Chicago to fill the regiment to
l06 men. We get paid about July
sometime and then | can write oftener
as | will have full stock of writing
material. With love to all.
Your affectionate son,
HARRY.

cession of American territory to give
Canadians ireer access to the Yukon

given in return for the surrender OF all

such q proposition has been made by
the Canadian commissioners, but it is
