The cxact means employed by Silyei'

yesterday by Attorney William n.
Cromwell. Ceballos a Company was
one of several local concerns which
speculated heavily In the pay warrants
OF the Cuban revolutionary soldiers.
These warrants issued by q commission
In different parts Of the island to the
men who had fought In the revolution,
were freely discounted by their holders
about four years ago.
Because of the delay In the govern.
ment negotiations for n loan, these war
rants were sold TO spectators at from
90 to so per cent Of their face value.
Ceballos q Company bought up about

In course of speech at Clio the
governor pointed out how prosperity
affects taxation in the following words:
Ten years ago we had 5000 factories
in Michigan, employing 10l 900 men at
an average wage of 81 90 day. Now
we have over 1000 factories, employing
29S,OOO men, at an average wage of
ST. day. This means that the aver
age daily wages have increased from
$lz5, 900 to 1926, 900 per day, or from
$39, 900, 900 to s132, 600, 900 year. This
large increase means $500, 900 more paid
out every day to the workingmen of
Michigan-and it also means that we
have 1000 more factories paying state
tax and other taxes which were not in
existence ten years ago."

Protection and Finance

The influence of Protective Tariff
upon national finances is rarely recog
niEed by financial writer's. 1t is never
recognized by Free Trade writers. Fl
uanciers realize tie Importance Of IA
'vorable trade balances, but apparently
give little or no thought as to their
cause. Bankers are not as rule econo
snists. They appreciate, for example
the enormous value of credit balances in
our international trade, averaging
$500, 000.000 a year in the past nine
years of Protection, but they are apt to
overlook the fact that it is only through
adequate Protection that such balances
Hre possible; that because of Protection
these balances must be paid in cash or
cash credits instead of being met by ex
ports Of commodities.
Free Traders have a purpose in con
cealing or ignoring the part which Pro
lection plays in national finance. They
seldom can he induced to mention q
favorable trade balance at all, and
when they do it is generally to insist
that trade balances are of little conse.
Quenoe one way or the other. But il
w~1Id seem that the men who make
hDauce their life work and their life
study ought all Of them to be stalwart
Protectionists, and that no banker

Report of Jail Inspectors.

The jail inspectors have made the
semi-annual inspection of the county
jail, and reported the finding to the
board of supervisors.
From Feb. 16 to Sept. 20, there
were 20S prisoners confined in the
place, and there were eleven in
durance on the latter date. 1t is a
source of satisfaction to Sheriff Jar
rad that in the two years he has
been sheriff, not single adverse
report has been made on the board
of his management, or of prevailing
| conditions for which he is respon-
sible. The prisoners have been
cared for according to law.
OF the 20S mentioned above, ZIG
were drunk and disorderly; Migrants,
26; for desertion, 8; using indecent
language and larceny, each; assault
| and battery, 8; carrying concealed
weapons, 3; jumping board bills and
disposing of chattel mortgage prop
| erty, 4 each; violating schools laws
| and pocket picking, each; and false
pretenses and forgery, each. There
| were several other charges under
! which but one or two persons were
arrested.
The inspectors reported that every
| thing was in satisfactory condition
| and that the laws were compiled
with, making an exception in the
| former case concerning the bedding
This is reported to be in bad condi-
ton, and much of 1t should be burn
/ ed. 1t was recommended that the
board purchase new bedding, and re-
place mattresses with comfortables.

County Sunday School Convention
Interest.

Interest.
The twenty-eighth annual conven-
ton of the Shiawassee County Sun
day School Association will be held
at Vernon, Tuesday and Wednesday,
October 23 and "a. A strong and
helpful program has been arranged
land it Is hoped that there will be a
large attendance from all the schools
of the county.
Prof. Brewer, of Chicago, we'll
known in this county as a musical
director of ability, will have charge
of the music and will organize a
chorus choir for singing, and will in
addition sing number of solos.
At the Tuesday evening session
Rev. Melvin E. Trotter, superintend-
ent of the City Rescue Mission of
Grand Rapids, will speak. Rev
Trotter is man of wonderful power
and has been the means of doing
great good. In his work in Grand
Rapids he is supported by the most
prominent business men of the city,
and they recently purchased the
Smith theatre in which a great work
is carried on.
Wednesday will be devoted to the
discussion of practical Sunday school
problems, the addresses being made
by prominent workers of the county.
in the afternoon a primary session
will be held, concluding with a spec
ial service for the children.
Wednesday evening another popu-
lar service will be held, the princi-
pal speaker being Rev. G. A. Lippin-
colt, of Flint, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church. Rev. Lippin-
colt is we'll known in the state as an
eloquent speaker and his address on
this occasion will be much enjoyed.
With the effort that has been made
to prepare an exceptionally good pro-
gram, the officers hope the Sunday
schools of the county without excep-
ton, will be as fully represented as
possible.

the foreign trade balance is matter Of
real concern" 1t was never otherwise
than matter of the greatest concern to
the finances of a country which, outside
of the immediate $500, 900, 900 in short
maturities, has annual fixed charges to
meet amounting to about S400, 000 900,
made up of interest and dividends on
foreign investments in the United
States, foreign freight charges for haul
ing American commerce going and
coming, money spent abroad by Ameri-
can travellers and money sent abroad by
naturalized citizens to needy relatives
abroad. With these annual fixed
charges there was need of our average
of $500, 600, 900 excess of exports over
imports. If thai excess should fall
much below $500. 1000, 900 we should fall
into debt to foreigners. This would in
deed be matter of real concern when
piled on top of the $500, 600, 900 of So
called short maturities" which must be
taken care Of.
We find that for the twelve months
ending with August we sold of our pro-
ducts to foreigners 81, ,417,SOS and
bought foreign products amounting to
81, 254, 800, 1856, leaving balance in our
favor of $5O5, O7s, 1853. It may be re-
marked, by the way. that the total OF
our foreign trade for the twelve
months, exclusive of our dealings with
Hawaii Porto Rico and the Philippines
about $50, 900, 0OO-was $3, 013,S17 633.
How do we have that balance of $500,
07S, 1853 coming our way? We some
times wonder if the American financiers
who must take care of the $500, 900, 900
or more of short maturities ever ask
themselves this question? We wonder
if any of them thinks that we should
have these five hundred million annual
trade balance coming our way with a
Tariff revised downward for the pur-
pose of promoting foreign competition,
with Tariff for revenue only or with
no Tariff at all? We wonder if any or
all of the financiers rightly appreciate
the immense consequence of favorable
trade balances made possible solely by
the Protective policy of restricting i'm
ports.
