The workingman who votes for gold pnts the halter on bis own neck. The farmer, who votes for the gold standard, signifies his approval of low prices. Compare the sheriff sales and mortgage foreclosures of Washtenaw oounty in this year of grace 1896 with those of 15 or 20 years ago if you want a home product illustration of how the gold standard builds up the prospertiy of the country. Tases, renta, oost of education and other fised ohanges have not decreased as the produce of the farmer and the wages of labor have declined.' Neither will they increase as the prices of farm prodnoe and labor rise under the influence of free silver. The dollar is not an arbitrary unit at the present time bnt the commercial value of 23.22 grains pure gold. The valnetflf that dollar fluctuates with the value of the gold in it, bnt the troubla is it has been fluctuating up all the time for 20 years. J. F. Sohuh, the popular oandidate of the democratie party for the office of connty clerk, should and will receive the hearty support of the citizens of Ann Arbor and of Washtenaw county. In private aud public life he has always taken a deep interest in the welfare of the laboring men aud they ehould rally to his support at this time. Mr. Schuh will inake an efficiënt and obliging official and should be rewarded for his long period of faithful and gratutious work for the people of this city and county. Vote for him for county clerk. Channcey Depew rung in the old cbestnut about the rate of Mexican wages being the same as that ia the United States, but paid in raoney of only one half the purchasing power of that paid here. If that is true we would ask why it is that so many American meohanics and laborers go to Mexico to seek employment? If free silver would keep foreign investnients ont of this country, why is it that so inany millions of American money leaves this gold standard land to go to Mexico, silver standard Mexico, for investment? A little light upon these matters would perhaps explain some phases of goliite argument that are now decidedly clonded.
