MORE MILLS WANTED,

The sexennial enumeration OF voters
in Center township has just been COM
pleted and tabulated by Trustee jack
man. from which it appears that there
are 1,517 voters in tho township as
against 1. $50 in 1895. OF these there
are 953 in Plymouth, loss OF 8 in six
years, and 564 outside of the city
limits, a loss of 60 in the same period.
Comparing these figures with the GEN.
sus returns of 1890 and 1900 we find
that in the former year Center town.
ship contained a population of 5,001
and in the latter year 1903, gain of
9O2: of these Plymouth had 2,723 in
1890 and 1866 in 1900, gain OF 933,
and the township outside of the city
had 2,27s in 1890 and 2,247 in 1900,
a loss Of 81.
Six years ago there were more men
employed in factories in Plymouth
than at the present time and loss OF
only nine voters since some OF the lac
tories were closed shows that at that
time. in 1895, the city had attained
its maximum population, under the
influence of the factories, and that it
has since been holding its own in
spite of their withdrawal. With the
industries continued, or others in
stalled to replace those that are gone,
the trustee would have found a sub
stantial growth and every line OF bus
mess. including agriculture, would
have been enjoying the benefits OF it.
That the city has not gone back
ward is proof sufficient of its vitality
and solidity, of its inherent enterprise
and favorable location, and of its
ability to foster its own welfare, foI
the obliteration of such a concern as

hayesso increased their combinations
and exactiOns as to1hecome unbearablt
and that the subject of tariff reform.
though supposed to have been settled,
is once more to the front as an issue.
'.for which we must thank the rapac-
ity Of the protected trusts In an
other column the Democrat says that
s.the tariff sill not seriously be con-

campaign fog the reason that the
trusts .are powerful enough 90 force
that issue to the year, and they will
do it-you may depend upon that. .
We gather from these expressions OF
the Democrats opinion that the tar

next campaign but that it will not be
seriously considered, which is quite
possible when one remembers the his
tory Of democratic issues in times
past.
