The Times is supporting the republican candidate for alderman of the third ward. The Times supports republican candidates when there is something at stake for the republicans and only then. When nothing is at stake, it never comes to the aid of republican candidates. This fact should bring the democrats out to the polls in full force, Monday. The attention of the democrats of the third ward is called to the energetic hustling being done by some of the republicans of their ward for the republican candidate for alderraan. This should arouse the democrats and bring them out to the polls to vote for Thomas H. Godkin. The third ward is the workingmen's ward and Godkin is the workingmen's candidate. He comes from a part of the city which is unrepresented on the council and he is deserving of hearty democratie support. "There are thousands of democratie soldiers." - Ann Arbor Courier. So! We thought you always claimed that the democrats were copperheads and traitors, that the republicans saved the union, and henee were the only party to be entrusted with the reins of government. In fact we thought, dear Courier, ihat that was your chief stock argument, when all other subterfuge arguments failed. We are glad that you are awakening to a realization of the true facts. As a matter of fact we import v only seed wheat, and the tariff does not and never did have any effect on the price of wheat. - Argus. Indeed! Then why has the Argus always contended that the amount of the tariff is added to the product, and that the tariff is a tax?-Courier. Words again, mere idle empty words, flippant and betraying an utter lack of economie knowledge, for which the Courier is becominO noted. It is idle to teil the Courier that a tariff on an article that we export and do not import does not effect the price of it, but a tariff on an article we import does effect the price. The Courier does not wish to know that fact for it would knock all its protection theories out. Henee we only refer to the matter again to show how trifling, flippant and unworthy of confidence the Courier's political editorials are.
