There Should Be A Tariff On Sugar

especially on raw sugar, siniply that revenue may be raised. And again : Make the wage-earner pay more for the neeessaries. That's republican doctrine. - Adrián Press. Is it though ? In another article the Press remarles : Were the enemies of Mr. Pingree correct when they said : "it is no use to oppose him; let liim alone and he will hang himself?" It looks as if that diagnosis of bis case was the correct one. The democratie party should proinptlv puta cent a pound on sugar. It will make sugar dearer. We knovp it. We adniit it. So it seems that making the wage earner pay more for the necessaries of life is democratie doctrine, after all. The Ypsilanti Sentinel thinks that in the recent controversy wjth it the Courier is makiug "nuich ado about nothing." In which the Sentinel is probeably right. Debs wants the public to abstain from riding in Pullnian cars. The public in turn would like to have Mr. Debs abstain from getting in jail. Mr. HUI, championing the cause of Mr. Cleveland, is indeed ludicrous. What does Hill want now that he needs to use Grover's paws to obtain ? If Mr. l'ingree concludes to take bis doll and go home and notplayany more, he may make it unpletasant for some of the republicau dandidates, butitwillso eflfectually kill himself that he never wiU be heard of more. The Island of Ceylon produces a tree that is without bark. The leaves are perfectly square and fold up at sundown. - Detroit Free Press. Xow, if the Island of Ceylon will produce a dog of that peculiarity it will make itself famous, besides conferring e favor apon mankind in general. Michigan has 2,239,375 inhabitants, according to the June census. The 70 incorporated cities, within her limits, have 821,023 of that number. In the year 1800 when this century started in, Michigan liad but 551 inhabitants. It will close the century with fully two and ol . . !f m:ll: u r?. ;':-.::r5. Unless tbere is an earthquake, cyclone, huracane, or something of the sort on the democratie political horizon right Boon, in this congressional district, Mr. (orinan will be renominated with butlittle opppsition. It is the policy we believe adopted by the demócrata this fall to put off their conventions as late as possible. The re-nomination of Mr. Kich for governor is an expression of the people. The politicians who thought to control tiie tide going his way might as well have áttempted to stop the ocean tides. It was a a spontaneous ontburst of faith in his integrity and honesty. It was a rare compliment to a deserving man. When Mr. Pingree was elected mayor of Detroit, that city was comparatively free from bonded indebtedness. Now howisit? It has been one continual stream oí bonds ever since he assumed tlie reina of government there. All these bonds will have to be paid within about twenty years. Then how about Mr. Pingree'a popularity? Part II. of the Compendium of the U. S. Census, which is now being sent out by the government, contains miscellaneous statistics, and among them we flnd the following relativo to the churches of this state : No. of chnrch organizations 4 798 No. ofcluirch ediflees S.VH1 Soatinjicapacity ifixlAw Value ofclmrcli property $18(i8'2s)71 Communicants 5B9.5IM Per centage of communicauts- 27.20 Soine people talk about the enniity of the laboring man or the friendship of the laboring man for tliis or that caudidate, until it has a strong tendency to make one weary. The interest of the class kuown as the laboring man is idéntica] with every other class in this republic. What effeets one class of citizens effeets all. The official who does his duty, regardless of personal desires, is the one j whom the laboring man should eonsider his friend. Such a man is Gov. Rich. He does what he believes to be right no matter how distastefnl the duty may be to himself. Gov. Rich is himself a laboring man. He has never lived anywhere but on the farm, and has ahvays tilled the soil with his own hands. He knows what it is to do a good day's work, and fnlly appreciates the lot of the man who is forced to earn bis bread by the sweat of his brow, for he has ahvays done that very thing bimselt. The workingman cannot afford to be fonled in this matter by a lot of demagofrues who never worked, except with their iaws, in anv manner in tbeir lives. u Mr.. Fingree is tlie wrong man to accuse others of usiiig mouey to influence votes. Two years ago the use of money by Pingree adherents in this country was flagrant. One man from the western part of this county, who had agreed to bring in Iris preoinct for Pingree and didn't, was forced to give up a portion of the money paid him right here on the streets of Ann Arbor, after the convention was over. And the fact was published at the time. There appeared to be no effort on the part of the Mayor' s friends to conceal the attempt to secure the delegation from this county by the use of money. And what was true here it is fair to presume was true in othercounties. The friends of Mr. Rich, on the contrary had no price attached to their services. They believed liim to be the best candidate the republican party at tliat time had, and worked for what they considered the best interests of the republican party. It was the voice of the people against paid clacquers in 1892, and the same thing in 1894. Thats the truth about the situation. Had Mr. Pingree and bis followers been able to have corrupted the delegates representing the great industrial class of agriculturalists, you would heur no whines from thetn about the "machine."
