Picnic at Ann Arbur. The 15th annual hírvest festival and basket picnic oí Washtenaw, Wayne, Oakland, and Livingston Counties will be held on the fair grounds at Ann Arbor on Wednesday, Aug. 16, '93. Gen. Jas. B. Weaver will deliver an address on the "Economie Questions of the Day." In a land of plenty we ve got a money farnine; our law-makers seem to be powerless to devise ways and means to stop the famine. So let us meet together at Ann Arbor, the i6th of August, and see if we can agree on some plan that will drive this curse of a want of a medium of exchange, with which to do our business, in a nation where it only costs Uncle Sam,(the people), two milis (2) and three-tenths of a mili (3-10) to make a one dollar full legal tender treasury note. Is it right, is it just, that the people should suffer lor the want of this tooi (money) to do our business with ? We ask the business men to meet with us, and we will councll together - ourinterests are identical. Perhaps you think when the farmers take our wheat, wool, etc, to market and are compelled, on account of the money famine, to sell our products f rom thirty-five to fifty per cent. less than the cost of production, its a huge joke on us farmers. This is a serious problem with you business men, as well as it is to us farmers. So to speak we are the geese that lay the golden eggs that you in your business gather in from day to day.. You flnancially kill us and aoon the shiriff will have a nctice on your houses of business, closed on execution, assignee sale, etc We ask the business men on that day to meet with us farmejs, and we'll unite on some plan that by torce of numbers and power of public opinión we may drive this curse of a money famine from this once happy people. This is not politics but patriotism, love of country and its free institutions, and should be endorsed by all American citizens. So all come and hear this grand old man, Gen. Jas. B. Weaver, teil you what this people should do to be saved from this curse, worse than war or pestilence - a money famine. A reception will be given from 11 a. m. to 12 m. at the Cook House. The address will be deliyered from the grand stand, on the fair grounds' at 2 o'clo p. m, Entrance to fair grounds and grand stand free. Por f urther particulars see programs. O. M. Wood, President.
