Vote tor otearns. Let all democrats vote before eleven o'clock next Tuesday. J. V. N. Gnjgory deserves a hearty support from his party. Michael Seery will make a most excellent and capable register of deeds. Vote for Gus Brehm, a good booK-keeper and a worthy young man. Senator Gorman should be returned by a good majority to lead ifee democrats in the state senate. Miciiael. J. Lehman should receive your hearty support. He would attend to the office personally. When the Courier savs that Mr. Stearns ever said in his paper that the Detroit Knights of Labor were no better than Chicago bomb throwers, it simply lied. If a high tariíf makes high wages why are not wages higher in Germany than in England ? The re.publicans have been unable to answer that question? The republicans say in one and the same breath that the tariff by raising prices enables the manufacturers to pay higher wages and that the tariff leaves the price of commodities to the consumer. Somehow the statements don't hang together. As Henry Watterson well said the republican remedy for poverty is taxes; for more poverty more taxes and for poverty in whatever form, nothingbut taxation. Standing on such a platform, we tail to see how thinking republicans can vote for Harrison. The republicans will make an especial effort to get votes for Allen. The democratie workers should see to it that every democrat votes for Stearns. Mr. Stearns has done more work for the democratie national ticket than any man in the district. He has been making two sound convincing speeches every day during the campaign. He has enfused hfe in the campaign in every part of the district. Let old VVashtenaw reward him with a rousing g ajority. If yon want a good judge of probate yon vvill vote tor Babbitt. County Clerk Howlett should run ahead of his ticket in every town. To the editor of the Courier: It is better to lie to one man than to lie to a thousand through the columns of a paper. What democrat will split his ticket for the republicans aftel' the treatment received at the rink Wednesday evening. Some of our republican brethen seetn to think that a British minister at Washington, by writing a letter, can influence the voters of this country. Perhaps he can, but isn't it a silly voter who will be influenced by hitn? Jake Martin, ot Ypsilanti, has sent out a Germán circular appealing for votes as a Germán. Mr. Martin isn't much of a Germán as he doesn't talk in that language to any great extent, it at all, and wasn't able to write the circular himself. Stearns is a friend of the laboring man, a friend of the farmer, a friend of citizens of this country. The partisan malignity of the Courer in attempting to defeat Stearns ïas led it to fili its columns with lies concerning him. Allen has not obecced and henee must be a consentng party . When Mr. Stearns furnished the Ypsilantian with the wool statistics, which are recognized as the best in the country, the Ypsilantian could only crawl out ofits predicament by attacking the correctness of the statistics, which vvere furnished by Fiske & Co., the leading republican wool commission house of Philadelphia. Br.AiNE says that prices of goods in Europe is as high as here. Will Mr. Blaine please explain then why a tariffof forty two per cent would not afford American manufacturers all the protection they need and why he should howl so loudly because the democrats proposed a reduction of five per cent. The fact is Mr. Blaine has been caught in another misstatement. If Mr. Allen believes in prohibition let him say so in Washtenaw as well as in Hillsdale. If he does not believe in prohibition let him say so in Hillsdale as well as in Washtenaw, but let him get on one side of the fence. The votéis like a man who don't dodge. Voters both prohibition and anti-prohibition will hardly like to vote for a man who makes two kinds of speeches. Mes. Delia Stewart Parnell, the aged mother of the great leader of the home rulers in the House ot Commons was the only woraan on the grand stand at the grand review of the New York democrats by Grover Cleveland last Saturday. She said she came to express her contempt and indignation at the dastardly efforts of the republican emissaries to make campaign capital out of Minister West's letters. It seems that Congressman Allen las a Burchard and his Burchard eems to be his own brother, Dr. Alen, who resides in Adlian. Like lis brother, the present congressman, Dr. Allen is a very bitter renblican but unlike him is very outpoken. To see the Adrián Germans supporting Stearns was too much for his equanimity and in Cing's Jewelry store in Adrián, he Ditterly denounced " the Dutch beer rinkers and other bummets, all gong for Stearns." Capt. Alien's ïurchard is his own brother. We desire to urge upon the democrats of each township the necessity for special efforts in behalf of the congressional ticket. Leading and active democrats should make this their sole and special work. Young men who are earnest workers, should devote their time exclusively to the interests of our congressional candíate. We urge upon the chairman of each town committee and the members of the county committee from each town to see that this is not neglected and that good workers with plenty of slips be piovided. The greenbackers and the friends of the silver dollar will this year be asked to vote for E. P. Allen for congress. But the men who ask it will be very careful not to give Mr Allen's record. Mr. Allen was a member of the state legislature in 1877 a' a time when silver was demonetized. A bilí was introduced in the state legislature to make silver a legal tender in this state. lts object was to bring the matter before the people and to show how Michigan stood upon this subject. The bilí passed by a vote of 64 to 18. Among the eighteen men who voted against silver being a legal tender were E. P. Allen and A. J. Sawyer. Allen and Sawyer voted for a single Standard of money and that the gold dollar. Now the greenbackers will be asked to vote for two "gold bugs". Will they doit? What an if'ua il is that America wjth its broad acres, vvith its boastec freedom, with a people the most ir.genious on the face of the globe, with a superb cümate. with its isolation and its vast resources should be afraid of a little ïsland three thousanc miles away, which has to depend largely upon America for its lood. Doesn't it make you laugh when }ou think of it? And vet that is about the only fact the' republicana rely upon tocarry the coming election. J. Wiu.aed Babbitt will make an excellent judge of probate. He knows the law because he has studied it for years. No man knows enough about law to prevent coraplicated estates from being htigated unless he has made an especial study of it. Mr. Wheeler isagood enough man personally, but he has never made a study of the law and he would not know enough about it to save the estates the expense of hiring lawyers to arrange legal matters. üetter vote for a man who knows all the duties of the office. Let every man vote for Babbitt. The pósition is a judicial one. The state republican platform this year says: We cordially endorse the progressive temperance legislation enacted by the last legislature and regret that its full fruits were not realized owing to technical defects in the aws, held by the supreme court to De in conflict with the constitution, we record ourselves as in favor of an enforcement of the temperance aws of the state and recommend to the next legistature the re-enactment of a local option law that shall be ïee from constitutional objections." How many Germans will vote for a ticket running on that platform. Treasurer Dudley of the republican National committee has written ong private letters of instructions to the Indiana republicans, one of which has been captured by the Indiana democratie committee. The fourth instruction is as follows: 4. Divide the floaters into blocks of five and put a trusted man, with uecessary funds, in charge of these ave, and make him responsible that none get away aud tbat all vote oar ticket. It is probable that Dudley will be prosecuted by the New York authorities. The fact remains that the republicans are making a desperate effort to buy the election. See to it, everv democrat in Washtenaw county, that this county rolls up a big enough democratie majority to make Michigan safe for Cleveland. " iou all know there is no man in the state of Michigan who has done more for temperance than I." The above was said by Capt. Allen in a recent speech in a temperance ocality where the prohibs were numerous. - Tecumseh correspondence Adrián Lance. We do not find aiiy fault with Capt. Allen tor uttering the words quoted in the prohibition organ of his congressional district. What we do find fault with him about is that he is striving in prohibition localities by such talk as the above, to gain the votes oí the prohibitionists, while in other localiües, where prohibition is popular, he stops to talk about the friends he has among the saloon keepers. We find no fault with Mr. Allen for bcing a temperance man, nor do we find faul with his working for prohibición, íf he believes in it, but we do think if that 'S his platform, he should stand upon it everv place in the district and not have one platform lor Hillsdale and another for Washtenaw. The people like to know where their representad ve can be found and they think he ought to have convictions and the courage of his convictions. The Michigan Farmer made a big howl over the Mill's bill putting wool on the free list. And yet that same paper in its market reports is every week giving utterance to undisputed facts which sustained our assertion that the reduction of the duty on wool would not injure the price paid our Michigan farmers for wool. Take these piices from last weeks Farmer: Michigan No. i sold in Boston for 33 @ 34 while at the same time Oregon and California wool sold for 14 @ 19. The Farmer says, "foreign prices are too high to allow large importations while the present duty has to be paid." If foreign wool competes with Michigan wool, then must, according to the logic of the Farmer's prices, the foreign price for wool before the duty is paid be larger than the price for California or Oregon wool. But as every farmer knows different grades of wool bring different prices. lf wool can be bought cheaper in England than here, it is the grades that are worth less. Michigan wool competes year after year with Oregon, California and Texas wool, sold for about half as much. England pays for much of her wool at high a price as our manufacturers pay tor wool here. She manufactures what woolen goods she needs, while our manufacturers shut down their milis because our laws prevent them from importing sufficient foreign wool to mix with our American wool, to make the riner and better grades of cloth. The foreign wools are absolutely necessary to make such cloths. As a natural consequence ot their inability to compete, the milis shut down, there s a less demand for own wool and in spite of the high duty on cloth, we import $44,000.000 of woolen goods every year.
