Congressman Weadock, of Bay City, will be with Hon. S. O. Fisher in this city Saturday evening. Mr. Weadock is one of the ablest men in the Michigan delegation at Washington, and few men are better equipperi than he for effeetive campaign work. He is an eloquent speaker. Do not fail to hear him. Keep your eagle eye on sugar. It ís now lower than at any time during the last year of the McKinley law, and in addition, as a fruit of democratie legislation,there is saved to the treasury and henee to the people, #13, 000,000 annual bounty, which that measure) conferred as a gratuity on the 600 cane growers of Louisiana. Hon. Spencer O. Fisher, democratie candidate for governor, will speak in the Grand Opera House tomorrow evening, on the issues of the campaign. Mr. Fisher is a plain, straightforward and convincing speaker and has the courage ,of his convictions. His sincerity and honesty of purpose no one who hears him can doubt. He is a man whose speeches invariably make votes for the principies he advocates. How interesting it would be if Governor Rich would lay aside national issues in the condnct of his campaign for re-election, and talk on " What I know about the scandais and extravagances of the present state administration." The present state administration has not only developed more srandals than all of its predecessors, but has been the most extravagant in the history of the state. The last legislature by its jobbing tendencies increased taxes into the hundreds of thousands, and yet not one of its acts met with executive disapproval. Whether this record is to be continued or closed is for the people to say. If they approve it, they will deserve the disgrace and the plundering to which they have been subjected. Senator J. H. Morrow has been renominated in the Lenawee-Monroe district. The democracy of that district has exhibited that rare political virtue, keeping a good man in office, having proved him. Senator Morrow, more than any other member in the senatorial body, distinguished himself in the last legislature, and was the leader of his party on the floor and in the councils of the senate democracy. His shrewdness and prompt action many times defeated the schemes of republicans to secure unfair legislative advantages. He is a brilliant parliamentarian, and successful student of governmental economy, and sharply scans every measare that comes up for action. He was not a seeker after the nomination, deeming that Monroe was entitled to the candidate; but Monroe wanted no other than Mr. Morrow, and he was named for the third time with no opposing candidate. The democratie party by principie and by practice is the party oi economy in all public expenditures low taxes, believing in taking nc more from the citizens than is neeessary for the actual needs of the government economically adniinistered; direct and immediate responsibility to the people as the source of all authority; and local self government without Federal interference. These democratie principies have been glorified by republican control, especially since 1888. The tendency of that party away from these essentials of democratie government resulted in its overwhelming defeat in 1892, and the return of the democrats to power. What have they done to reverse this obnoxious policy and bring the government nearer to the people? They have repealed the Sherman law which required the government to purchase annually 54,000,000 oun ces of silver, and pay for the same in gold obligations, whereby the credit of the government was imperiled and the stability of our commercial, manufacturing and financial interests threatened, and the foundation laid for one of the worst panics from which this country has ever suffered. It made a saving to the people in government expenditures of more than $28,000,000, and a vastly greater sum in the reductions in duties on the necessaries of life. It repealed the McKinley law, which was so obnoxious to the peo pie, and substituted in its stead a measure which, while greatly increasing the purchasing power of every man's dollar, or what is the same thing, reducing the cost of consumption, adds vastly more revnue to a sorely tried treasury. t removed from the statute books he infamous Federal election laws which were a standing menace to ocal government, thereby restoring o the people the control of their lections, thus freeing our electoral ontests from the odious interfernce of deputy United States marhals and supervisors. It provided for an income tax whereby the rich men of the country will be compelled to bear a more quitable portion of the government )urden thanheretofore. Many other aws in the interest of the people were enacted. And had it not been ampered by the insurmountable bstacles of an unresponsive senate nly nominally democratie, and the financial storm, of republican origin, which broke upon the country, in spite of all efforts to prevent, it would have accomplished much more. On these foundations, laid under the greatest difficulty, the party builds its house, and on these Issues it appeals to the people.
