"If you would know the wealth of the
peninsula, look about you"
This is a translation of the words, 81
Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam, Circum-
spice" engraved below the shield on the
great seal of the State of Michigan
Did YOU know that7
Michigan has ever been 4 wealthy state.
When it was still territory the two penin-
sulas were rich in natural resources. Every
where wealth could be seen. There were
the great black forests, the magnificent
waterways, and the vast areas of fertile
lands awaiting but the plow Of the husband
man.
Then, TO know Michigan's wealth. IL was
only necessary to "look about you"
The treasures of that day have been
TRANSF oRMED into USEFUL
WEALTH by the tilling of the soil of many
rich farms, the operation of mines. the
building of factories and railroads.
The Protective policy of the REPUBL1-
CAN PARTY has made this transformation
of wealth possible. The protection afforded
the farmer and the industries has kept the
proud boast on the great seal.
The aggregate wealth of the state today
must be figured in billions. The assessed
valuation, only portion of the total actual
wealth of the state, is nearly TWO Bill
LION DOLLARS.
Now, it has never YET been necessary
to change Michigan's motto. But ONCE
in so years did il seem PROBABLE the
words would turn to empty jest. That was
in the days of Isea-ISe6 under the tariff
policy of the Democratic party.
During the brief period following the rise
of the Democrats to power in national at
fairs, Prosperity was working on half time
at about half pay The value of farm prop
erty alone in Michigan dropped over
FoRTY-FIvE MILLION DOLLARS.
No trifling sum.
But the people soon returned the Repub-
lican party to power. What effect did Pro-
lection have on farm values?
According to the u. S. census of 1910,
the value of ALL Michigan farm property
increased, under Protection, in ten years
FOUR NDRED MILLION
30 L L A R S.
That's an increase of SIT per cent.
Due to other causes. you may say.
Strange, is 1t not, that farm property
values in this state should DROP from ap-
proximately $64s,ooo,ooo in 1890 to $685.
100000 Immediately after the passage of the
Democratic tariff? Then, Is Il not peculiar
that, with the REPEAL of the measure,
values should begin STEADY RISE. In
creasing $4,000, 900 in six years and $780,
100000 in the following ten yearsa

In Iooo-the last census report available
his corn crop was worth nearly thirty
million dollars; hay, thirty-six millions;
oats. eighteen millions: wheat, sixteen mil
lions, and rye, four million dollars.
Read those figures over again. They are
astounding.
The average value of farm land In this
state, per acre, has increased $3.50 in the
past decade.
How closely the entire industrial life of
the state responds to the changes in the
welfare of the farmer is shown by the fact
that now, under Republican rule, there are

Boston, Sept. 23.-The Boston Red

Business was temporarily stopped
all along the line of parade, while
thousands of workers thronged to
the windows. Street car traffic was
stalled by the crowds and incoming
trains and hurrying commuters at the
South station were alike held up by
the great jam at that place.
At the Common the welcome was

Specific instances of the assignment
