The Argüí thlnka t mlght be well lo ask nmottg others the editor of this paper hou to ííain republican votes. It is un easy quesüon to aniwer: Just let the Arus editor loóse every week in li is columns like unto the last issue. Some way tlie uíuiiI cautious 'iiilluence" was withili-awn, and he ratllcd away at everytliinr. " I-INever in the history oí tliis natioii has it prospered except uutler a proteclive tarill", and never will it proser without atarifl'until men ot nll natioiis become brothera and philanthropists. Wlien trude scurriedon between nations merely tor brothcrly affection, and imt as at present for gain, then free trade will bc lii-silile for América, but Hot until tlien. Chas. A.

The democratie party, it seenis, proposes to take Mr. Cleveland at his word: Thai no man suould be president more than one term. Mr. Cleveland said it, and siild he meant it when he said It. Now will he reinain true to his woril, or was it simpiy a bid to be renomlnnted f The editor of tho Arius tries to be fiMMtloui in li is last issue by propocfng the ñames of two or three of our reputible cilizuns for the republieati presidenti:il noinination. It is perhaps u nuecessary to state tb it there are several demoerats in our city who are tlie superior in ability, shrewdness and cunnln;, of the present chief executive of the nation, and among tlie latter - the cunninjr fellows - is the autbor of the item referred to above. The .-I u 1 1 n 1 service Htatlons at Macklnac and Encanaba have been ordered wlped out because there wasn't money enough on band to support them.- üally Paper Telegram. And millions upon millions of money in the tieasury tliat the government does notknowwhat to do with ! Isn't such pan-imony contemptible ? Bilt tliat is tlie hobby of the Cleveland adminislration. "Save at the spiggot and waste at the bang." Cut off the supply for nelics uid pile up the surplus. Tliat is true democratie economy. The Argus man is so contraeted In hls visión tliat he c;innot conceive why a penoD sliould favor the right of the peop!e to vote upon a questiou, and still not fuvor the question to be voted upon. In a lepublleau form of goverument the people rule, and when any considerable number of tliem desire to express their Miitiment npm a public qiiellon at the poll9. any fair-minded man sbould be in livor of grantins them that privilefre. It is oi ly tlie uarrow-contracied and illlibcral who would deay tliis riglit. The Argua in;in sbould stuily up the word "democrat" and see vhat it means. If the Interstate Commerce Commission sbould do no othcr good than In their recent declalon against the Standard Oil Co. it would for tint alone have beeu wortb the time and mouey spent by it.
