Editorial Notes

Vote for Wm. J. Clark, tlie one-arraed f eteran, for register of ileeds. It wlll be a good deed on your part. The P. of I. ticket at Galesburg had )een withdrawn. This seetns to be the general drift of the Fatrons in many )laces. Allen has givcn bla personal attenliou o the claims of five hundred oíd soldiers at the pension office in Washington durng his present term. It would seem as if the Free Press and the News would get weary in trying to rope Uov. Luce into their network of 'alsehoods before long. If Mr. Gorman as state senator sold out lis farmer constltuents in the tneat bill, what would he do with their intercsts at Washington if he got there? Amariah F. Freeraan, the candidute for [rosecuting attorney, is a man, who if elected would make a record ia that office that no ciiicn would be asharacd to refer to. The republicana of Washtenaw county ncvcr presented a better, cleaner or more deserving ticket to tho voters than is presented this year. And it oufflit to be elected. A vote for A. F. Freeman, of Manchester, for prosecuting attorney.is a vote for one of the cleanest gentlemen who ever plead a case at the Washtenaw county bar. Vote for John V. Bennett and Archie V. Wilkinson for circuit court commissioners. They are both good and worthy young attorneys, and the office would bc a help to thein. Edward Gorman, the republican candidate for county treasurer, is an old soldier, nd a man who is in every way worthy of the office. Vote for liim, work for him, and put liim there. Does the Ypsiiantí Sentinel and Adrián Press notice anything" contemptlble in their methods of defamlng and lying about James M. Turner and also about the McKinley bill ? For the office of register of deeds Wm. J. Clark, the old soldier, who left an arm down in Virginia as a souvernir for the Johnny Rebs, asks your vote. Can you afford not (o give it to him ? The farmers should reinetuber that Mr. Gorman in his letter of acceptance says lie sliall vote for free raw materials. That means wool at 14c and 15c per lb. insteas of 25c to 30c as at present . How an Irishman, or a descendant of an Insuman, can vote to perpetúate the English policy of free trade, that has cursed Ireland and brouglit it to poverty, is a mystery of mysteries. When a free trader tells you that sugar is going up in pricp, refer him his own theory that "a tariff is a tax," and then show him on the McKinley bill that sugar bas been placed on the free list. Over 500 pensions have been secured through Capt. Allen's aid and intlueace during the pust four years. And yet there is one old soldier in tliis city who kicks because he didn't get a postoffice. If the tariff is a tax, why don't the long list of articles taken from the dutiable list by the McKinley bill and placed on the free list, reduce the price of those articles? Wï!l Mr. Gorman picase answer? Uut of 70 postmasters appoluted in this district within the past two years, 32 have been old soldiers. And yet there is oi.e old soldier in tliis city who kicks bccauie he didn't get a postoflice Poor fellow ? What free trade has done for Irelam' it will do for America if it gets a chance. If America had Blave labor we could affurd to have free trade, but with paid labor, and well paid labor, we cannot A vote for Gorman in congress is a vote for free trade. Manufactured boots and shoes have been rcduced from 30 per cent. duty to 25 per cent, duty, and hides placed on the free list, and yet some Ignoramus who believes a tariff is a tax will teil you that boots and shoes havegone up on accouni of the McKinley bill. The laboriug man who votes for free trade views, or against protection views votes to táke the bread and butter out of his own mouth. If this country is to compete with foreign countries in manufacturing it will be a sorry day for the min who has to work for a living. Plenty of money is being used liere at Ann Arbor in Mr. Gorman's interestOne or two sore-heads here have had the Bilver salve applled to their sores by one of Gorman's heekra, and it appears to work vvell in their cuse. Wliat the future may develop remains to be seen. The office of sherift in the hands of Capt. Boutelle, of Ypsilanti, would be a public trust, and crimináis would tiiu hlrn just as great a terror as any previous sheriff has ever been. He is one of the flnest gentlemen and G. A. K. veterans In Michigan. The republicana mude no mistake in putting liim on the ticket. Senator Alctrich, of Khode Island, says of the sugur schedule of the McKiuley bill: The tffect of the abolition of sugar dutiis W'll be to cheapen the cost of fugar to all consumers at least two cents per pound, and to increase its use. It will tlevelop an important industry by stimuliitinu; the use and production of canned aud preserved fruits. There can be no omplalnts about old soldiers not bein; appointed to office in this district wlien it is remembered tliat they have been put in charge of the post oftkes in Adrián, Tecumseh, Morenci, N. Adams, S. Allen, Somerest, Maybee, Woodstock and Saline, also that live veterans have been re-instatod in the postal service. Joseph B. Moore, cashier of the Peninsular Bank in Detroit was in town Saturday. He is immensely popular wherever he goes, and will be one of the leaders on the ticket, as tlie people of lower Michigan are golng to vote for hiin pretty unanlmously, because they do not want the money of the state treasury all taken up iiito the upper península where the democratie candidate lives. Henry A. Kobinson, of Detroit, who ran for conjrress on the republican ticket foor years ugo, and of wliom the Adrián Press, the briglitest democratie paper in the state said: " He ü the candidale of the socialints and anarchist. Ihey are, the ones who Jirst named Mm. They are no respecters of late and order. Mnbinson is no beller. UK SIIO ULD BK SIIUNNED AS MUCH AS A CHICAGO BOMB THIiOWEK. Jiolnnson should be defeated in that dülrict AND COMMUNISM STAAfPED OUT." Now this same "anarchist and communist1' of the Adrián Press U to speak In favor of the men who lasded hlm so unmercifully. He must be happy in his work. Tliere lias boen more graluitons and cuntcmptiblc lylng about the Mcliinlcy bill thaii about aiiy other measure that was ever passed by congresa. But tliere 9 thls iiiiicli satisfaction, thebill s a law, and 110 matter kow much misrepresented ït may be, ts merits will bc tliorouglily tested and shown to the people before it can possibly be touohed by ts eneruies sliould they by any chance h ippen to -et the power. Under republican rule ia Mlch g:mtliu average animal tax has been only 1.G2 milis on the dollar, while under forme r democrat rule it was 2.55 on the dolían Mr. Taxpayer make a note of thls fact. That lsn't all. The state has to-lay over $10,000,000 in public buildings and institutions to show as the result of republican low taxation. Under democratie high tax, what did the state have to show? A state indebtedness of over $2,500,000! llow would you like to turn the state over to democrat extravngance again? - Hillsdale Leader. The kickers upon our present currency ought to go back to the good old democratie times of 1808-GO. They would probably be satisfied to have the government go into the wildcat business, so that money would be chsap, and everybody have money. There are a great many thousand dollars worth of that money in existence to-day, but It is even yet so cheap that not even G. A. 1'. would care to take it in payment for li is wheat, wool, or produce. He'd rather have the detested gold, we reckon. If ever a man deservcd the sympnthy of the people of the commonwealth because of vile and slanderous attacks brought against him for political reasnns, that man is James M. Turner, the republican candidate for governor, and the yile slanderers ought to be so rebuked, and we belleve will be so rebuked by the people of Michigan next Tuesday that they will never venture upon the Held of defamation again. Wlien a man is set upon by hounds, simply out of personal reasons, the people always resent it. VVlien tbe Detroit Free Press gets so it has lo attaek men of its party like Hou. C. P. Black, who was LJ. S. district attorncy for the eastern district or Michigan, under the Cleveland administraron, it is in a truly pitinble plight. Wherever Mr. Black is known this attack will fall hartnlesa, for he is a man who draws around liitn warm personal friends. The Free Press is so violent over its failurc to make its carapaign mud stick to Mr. Turner, that it is trying to despoil the character of everyone who failed to bend their knees to its iiifanious work. For t!ie benefit of the farmers of Mich - igan, who are deeply interested in the tarift' legislation aftecting their interest, we gire herewith the duti.s on farm products under the old and new laws: A) tclei. Old Law. Law qf IS90. Barley 10e per bu. 30c per bu. liuck wlioal 10c per bu. 16c per bu . Cora 10c per bu. 15c per bu. Oats 10c per bu. 15c per bu. Wheat SiOc per bu. 25c per bu.

Horses and inules 20 per cent. 70 per cent. Cattle 20 per cent. (2 per cent. Hogs 80 per cent. 46 percent. Sheep 20 por cent. 50 per ceut. Wool, nlgh gradea 48 per cent. 57 per cent. Wools, lower grades.. .26 per cent. 3á per cent. It will be remembered that the Mills bill, which is the democratie tariff platform, put all grades of wool and various other products ol the farm on the free list, reduclng the duties on still other products below the protective point. This is the kind of balderdash the Detroit Evening News and other democratie papers are serving their readers with to mislead the people and get them to vote the üemocratic ticket : A story lsgolngaround In Washington that Mrs. Harrlson recently went to Ballimore on ashopping tour and was horriüed at tbe In. crease of prices of dry goods, and when she lnqulred the reasou, was blandly infoiiued tbat It was caused by the McKlnley blll. Such slush Is belng howled all over the country by the demócrata, and is the last straw the sinking democrats are grasping at. This dispatch shows how the merchants of Adrián treat tlie matter and what is true of Adrián is just as true oi Ann Arbor, or any other city in the district: "Adrián, Oct. 22.- E. B. Winans, democratie candidato for governor, spoke at Croswell opera house last nigbt. Mayor Seth Bean presided, and In hls remarks lntroduclng the speaker, he charged that the McKinley blll robbed the poor man by causing a rlse In the nccessarles of life, and that a vlslt to the retall store of the city would vindícate hls statement. To-day the leadlng merchants in all Unes of trade unite in a card denouncing the raayor's etatement as detrimental to the business interests of the city, denying that their prices have been or are iikely to be advanced by the late tariff legislation.
