this advance stated, for publication only,
that the conditions of the market war
ranted the advance" What they meant
was the conditions of the tariff, with its
s. thousand on imports Of lumber from
Canada, warranted It, Michigan pine is
cut off and only Minnesota and Wisconsin
left to supply the increasing demands,
and two-doIlar tax practically bars out
Canadian lumber.
This means that all you farmers who
want to build better houses, larger barns,
fence your fields, construct graneries,
build pig pens or hen houses, lay walk
to the front gate to keep your feet out of
the mud have got to pay tribute to a few
men who are given the power by congress
to meet and say you shall pay them a
couple dollars more thousand for what
lumber you need to make these better
ments. How do you like it?
And these Iumbermen. who are so well
protected, and who are seeking another
dollar thousand on you because the
market warrants it, and the tariff lets
them, and who tell you that 1t let's them
employ lots of men who, with their fam
lilies, consume your produce and thus
make a market for you, fill their lumber
camp and boarding house Iarders with
oleomargarine and tell their workmen if
they don't like that to go farther. O.
they love you, but they love your dollars
better and your butter less. How do you
like that?
Congress, the latest one, gave you a
varied assortment of taffy in the Dingley
act one kind of which was a tax, pro-
tective tax, of cents a pound on i'm
ported butter; mere taffy because none
is imported and millions of pounds are
exported. But they gave the cleo makers
something substantial in protective tax
Of cents aFpound on imports Of 'substi
tutes for butter" Gave them just as much
protection as they gave your butter; put
oleo and butterine in the same class with
creamery and dairy butter; practically
said one was as good as the other. How
do you like that?
Well, the G o b e is constrained to be-
lieVe that you like it. That is, a majority
Of you like it. For did you not vote for
and elect Tawney, McCIeary, Eddy and
Morris as representatives in congress
from districts where you hold the bal
ance of power? Especially, did you not,
you men down in the first district re-
elect Tawney when you knew, if you read
the papers, that he was on the ways and
means committee and that he prided him
self on what he had done for the lum-
bermen? You have more creameries in
your district than in all the rest of the
state; how do you like Tawney's protec-
ton to oleomargarine of cents a pound :?
de did that, too, before you rolled up that
big majority for him in SO, and so we are
forced to conclude that you, or a majority
OF you, do like it. Well if these lumber
advances and this protection to oleo is
the thing you like we hope you will take
l. and look pleasant. You are getting
what you like in chunks. Don't growI.

RECIPROCITY TALK.

In connection with Mr.. Won Mumms
arrival there has been much comment
by the press as to the German reciprOc-
ity negotiations and the possibility that
would push them actively to the front.
This appears to have arisen largely from
the fact that he holds the rank Of state
instead of charge 'affaires and also from
his connections with the former reciproc-
ity treaty. AS to this he said:
81 notice the American press infers that
I come on a special errand relating to
reciprocity, but I assure you I nave no
such specific instructions which cOntem-
plate the immediate conclusion of
treaty The impression probably arises
from the fact that while charge d affares
in 1891 1 concluded at Saratoga, with Gen.
Foster, who was the United States spe-
cial plenipotentiary on reciprocity, d rec
iprocity agreement which put an end to
differences and established very salts
factory basis of trade intercourse. The
present talk is doubtless an echo of those
negotiations. At the same time it will be
my aim to render every aid in encourage
ing the relations between the two coun-
tries commerce, as well as in an inter-
national sense to remove and differences
in the way of trade, and to secure that
healthy flow Of business which we enjoy
along with other countries under the ia
vored nations clause of existing treaties

cept to cultivate those friendly relations
which have so long existed.
''YOur country is fortunate in being rep
resented at Berlin by Mr.. White, who is
universally esteemed for his culture, in
telIectuaI attainments and wide expert
ence in public affairs. MIR. Jackson, the
secretary of the United States embassy,
also has a wide circle of friends, and in
consequence of his long service at the
capital and his perfect command of the
German language is certainly one of the
best informed diplomats in Berlin"

EXIT ALGER

The career of Gen. Russell A. AIger a.
q cabinet officer, which has just come to
close, was not one whit better or worse
than the career of the administration
whose principal war officer he was. I'm
der any other form of representative
government ever devised, the resigna
ton Of Alger in such a case as the pres
ent would have been accompanied by the
withdrawal of the existing administra-
ton. What Secretary Alger is and has
been, so is and has been the administra
ton of Mckinley and Hanna. What
wrong he had done has been adopted by
them, and is theirs. If he is entitled to
abuse such as has been heaped on him.
then so are they. If he administered the
war department ably and honestly, so
did they conduct the affairs of this ma
ton. There is no standard that will not
apply equally to both
1t is not at all doubtful that the treat
ment extended to Gen. Alger by his Off
cial associates and superiors was mean
and cowardly in the extreme 1t was
not he but they who were on trial in the
embalmed beef case. 1t was not he but
they who sent Shafter to Santiago. or
Otis to Manila. or who insulted and hum
bled the commanding general of the
army.
Has there been a single official act of
this man that Mckinley and Hanna did
taking to be elected senator from Michi-
gan? If so, what was that act? False
hood and chicanery are arts in which
the controlling clique at Washington are
expert; but there is nor impudence or
ingenuity enough among them to specify
a single act of the late secretary of war
which was not by adoption or direction
the act of the administration.
The truth of the matter is that a scape-
goat is needed. Eagan did not suffice
The effort TO make one out of Shafter
or Miles has not succeeded. There must
be sacrifice to the angry Moloch of
public sentiment. Very opportunity, AL
ger goes into cabal with Pingree, of
Michigan; the administration takes the
act as unfriendly one; and Ayers
resignation is forthcoming. That is all
there is in his case. He is sacrificed to
his present political associations. In a
word, Ayers case is one of Pingreeism.
Mcmillan and his friends are the sup
porters of the administration Pingree.
without having the honesty to say so
boldly, is the enemy of Mckinley, Hanna
and the others. Alger has made his
choice between friends and enemies, and
he is very properly made to take the con-
sequences of it.
The idea that Alger is gotten rid of be-
cause of something he did which did or
mere humbug. 1t may do to deceive a
sap-headed public, and cheer up certain
imperialst organs which were becoming
downcast. But it deceives no intelligent
person. For every act and deed Of Alger
during his official career, up to his alli-
ance with Pingree, the Mckinley Hanna
administration is morally and politically
responsible, whether these acts be good.
bad or Indifferent. 1t was an infamy
that he should ever have come into any
presidents cabinet His remaining as
infamy Neither the one nor the other
can be lessened or avoided by his resigna-
ton at this time.

dispatches coming from Apia. via Auck
land. In fact the department is so far
without official advices from Mr.. Cham
bers or any member Of the Samoan COM
mission by the latest steamer, which in
clines the officials to the belief that the
fights said to have taken place in Samoa
among the adherents of the late aspirants
for the throne must have been small mat
ters and without international sgnif-
canoe, as seems to be indicated by the
reported cooperation between the Ger
man and British naval commanders in
making arrests of the malcontents.

Republican press one might easily mag
inc that Democratic people had no part

Republicans were bound to respect. Still,
there are quite a number of Democratic

their best to make Mr.. McKinley's war

it only seems longer.
To the credit of golf it can be said that
so far there has developed no induce
ment to sell out a game. A man may tee
off without being regarded as an object
of suspicion.
There appears to be about as much love
between Gen. Otis and the newspaper
men as there is between an automobile
and a veterinary surgeon.

lays large double-yolked eggs. No claim

agree upon the legality of the dum-dum

Gen. Otis reply to the carping news
gatherers might appropriately be, What

great service by reslgning. The Michi-
