OUR STRONG_ TICKETDemocratic Silver Nominees

for the County Offices

ARE ALL GOOD MEN

Something About Their Livesand Public Services.

These Are the Men Whom the Elect-ors of Washtenaw County Will

Place in Charge of AffairsTuesday, Nov. 3rd.

On the 10th clay of September thedemocrats and silver men of jWashte-naw county met in convention andplaced in nomination a county ticket'which has every element of politicalstrength and is worthy of the supportof every elector who desires to see theaffairs of the county placed in thehands of houest, intelligent, cleanmen. They are men who stand highin the estimation of their neighbors,and who have the confidence and es-teem of the communities in whichjtheylive. All of them have filled variouspositions of public trust with credit.As private citizens their record isabove reproach. The citizens of Wash-tenaw county who desire an economical and efficient administration ofpublic affairs will make no mistakewhen they choose them to fill the sev-eral offices to which they aspire. It iswith a feeling of pride in the candi-dacy of these gentlemen that the Ar-gus presents the following briefsketches of their lives and public ser-vices:

FOE JUDGE OK PROBATE.Thomas D. Kearuey, the democratic

nominee for probate judge, has spenthis whole life in this county, and sowell has he spent it since his birth iuNorthfield, December 24, 1862, thatthere is not the slightest imputationupon his character or repuutation. Heattended thfi distirct schools, the AnuArbor high school and graduated from

six remaining children, Mrs. Lighthallmoved to Maoon, Lena wee coutrty,where our present candidate for sheriffworked for three years as a farm labor-er. From 1869 to 1877 he worked athis trade as a carpenter in the southand east parts of the county, living inSaline village from 1871 to Feb. I,1877. He then moved to Chelsea,which has been his horne ever sinceand where he has been engaged in bus-iness as a manufacturer of and dealeriu windmills and fixtures aud operat-ing a planing mill. The last 16 yeaisof bis life in Chelsea have been yearsof activity, as, besides his awu businesshe has been a useful servant of the

THOMAS D. KEARNEY.the law department of the uuiverity in1887. For two years he was scbool iu-spector in Norrhtield and has alwaystaken an active interest in tie welfareof our public schools. For two termshe was oity attorney of Ann Arbor andmade such a good one that be was, af-ter an interim, again appointed city at-torney last May. His administrationof the office has been marked by good,keen, common business sense. He waselected prosecuting attorney in 1892and although he was defeated for re-election two years later in the republi-can tidal wave, he ran ahead of histicket. His record as prosecuting at-torney was a fine one. It became hisduty to prosecute some of the most; im-portant cases that have been tried inthis county in the past ten years, andhe did it faithfully and in a manner toprove his excellent abilities as a law-yer. For the past two years he has en-joyed an excellent law practice. Thosewho know Mr. Kearney best, knowthat his is a judioial mind, and that heis now running for the office he is mostcapable of filling. With a warm heart,incorruptible integrity, good commonsense, an accurate knowledge of thelaw, good business abilities, he isjust the man to pass upon the es-tates of the widows aud orphans andto save them worry and expense. He•will make one of the very best judgesof probate this oounty has ever had.Residing in the city, he will devotehis whole time to the office, and canalways be found by those having busi-ness in the probate court, and that bus-ness will be correctly done. Voters of

whatever political faith, who desire toote for the best man, the most cap-

able candidate for the place, will votefor Thomas D. Kearuey for judge ofprobate.

FOR SHERIFF.Hiram Lighthall, who aspires to be

the next sheriff of tais county, wasborn in Erie oonnty, N. Y., April 11,1851. Foor years after his birth hisparents moved to Michigan and settledin the thou wild »ud heavily timhpredcounty of Iogham, about ) s

2 milesfrom Lansing. In 1864 his father andoldest brother having gone out to helpfight the battles of the union iu thewar of the rebellion, laid rlown theirlives for the preservation of their coun-try's honor. Two years later, with her

HIRAM USHTHALL.people. For two years he was a depntyunder Sheriff B. \V. Wallace, then fol-owed five years as a member of thevillage oonnoil, thiee years as a mem-ber of the school board, and two yearsas township treasurer. Ho is now serv-ing his third term as supervisor of Syl-van township having received J28 ma-jority over James L. Gilbert last spring,and was last year chairman of theboard of supervisors.

His long tenure of various publiooffices is proof positive of the confi-dence that the people of Chelsea andSylvan place iu his integrity andability to administer affairs entrustedto his care. Aud if still further proofwerc^peeded, the fact that in his secondyear as supervisor of Sylvau he wasthe choice of the board of supervisorsas ita chairman can bo adduced. Thepeople of bis village and tpwn haveconfidence in him, and the democracyof the c.ouuty have confidence in him,as was evinced by his choice on the jfirst ballot to b« its standard bearer forthe office of sheriff at the comingelection. Hiram Lighthall is a popu-lar man, he is an honest man, he is aman of ability and will fill the officeof sheriff of Washtenaw county whenit is entrusted to his care, with creditto himself and with honor to those whosbaii assist in placing him in thatoffice.

FOR COUNTY CLERK.Jacob F. Scbnb, the popular demo-

cratic silver candidate for the clerkshipof Washtenaw county, was born inWurtemberg, Germany, in 1843. Hisparents came to this country aud settledun a farm in Herkimer county, N. Y.,when Jake was a little fellow fouryears old. They came to Ann Arbor in1853, and here Mr. Sohuh grew up tomanhood and has lived ever since.Before he was old enough to vote hewas a democrat aud he has strictly ad-hered to that faith. He is unswerv-ing in his loyalty to that party and tothe candidates that have been on thatticket in the 32 years he has been avoter aud a worker in the politicalfield. He has always been a publicspirited man, ever ready to do any-thing to advance the interests of theoity and couuty. As city treasurer heshowed hiself a competent and obligingofficial and at the same time a goodfriend to the laboring man. Instead ofthe laboring men having to go to thebanks to get their orders discounted hepaid them in cash. Another instanceof his obliging nature was found inthat the taxpayers were not confined tobanking hours to pay their taxes, heaccepting them at any time during bus-iness hours. On account of bispromptness aud popularity Mr. Schuh

FOB REGISTER OF DEEDS.Alfred Davenport, the well known

supervisor of York, and one of the mostprominent men in agricultural circlesiu Washteuaw county, is the demooiat-io silver candidate for register of deedsat the coming election. He was bornin Saliue townsuip, Jan. 17, 1844, hisparents Abram and Jemima C. Daven-port, being pioneers of the county, com-ing into it from New York state in1833. Mr. Davenport acquired his ed-ucation in the district schools and re-mained at borne with his parents un-til he was 25 years old, although hehad married and begun life for himselfthree years before on his father's farm.In 1870 he removed to the town ofYork, which has been his home eversince. In bis 26 years residence thereho has owned at different times twoother farms beside the one he now owns,each time he sold he having betteredhimself.

Straightforward and honest, he hasacquired for himself aud family anhonored name, and by his industry,carefulness and sobriety one of the fin-est farms in Washtenaw county, con-tainiug 114 acres of farming laud. Al-though he has always given his busi-ness the careful attention it deserevdhis fellow citizens of York have seenfit to keep him almost continuouslysince he was first elected highway oom-missioner iii 1873 and 1874. Twoyears as town treasurer followed, afterwhich he was one of the fchool offiIn 1883 he began his labors on theboard of supervisors and so well pleasedwere his coustitutents that they have

JACOB K. SCHUH.was elected to a third term of office.And the people of WashfeDaw oountycan rely on it that the same obligingways and careful, competent habitsthat characterized him in the office oitreasurer, will be carried into his dut-ies as county clerk, should the peopleby their votes elect him to that office,Tuesday, Nov. 3. As a member o:the Ann Arbor board of public worksbe showed himself a man of sound andconservative judgment always ready todo his duty. Voters of "Washtenawcounty, vote for Jncob F. Schuh forcnnuty clerk. You will make no mistake in so doiug.

best be jddged by his clientage, andoertainly Mr. Kirk, although a youngman, has won the patronage of thevery best business men in his vioinity,and is universally respected and es-teemed. He is a brilliant trial lawyer,an undefatigable worker in cases en-trusted with him and very successful inresults obtained. He stands at thehead of the younger members of theWashtenaw county bar and is certainto develop into one of the leading law-yers of this section of the state. Hehas started out in this campaign with"Econmoy in the use of the county'sfunds" for his platform and will ifelected, see that his promises are ful-filled. At the same time it can besafely said that, wherever there is aohanoe of conviction, no guilty manwill escape from Mr. Kirk. Voters,if they do not oast their ballots for an-other man on the democratic tioketwill put a "X" opposite the narae ofJohn P. Kirk for proscutnig attorney.

FOR TREASURER,

Atthe age of 13 he had the misfortune tolose his left arm, which has been a ser-ious drawback to him. With tho ener-gy inherent in his character, however,on his return from the college he tookup the antive duties of a farmer's lifeand as followed it successfully eversiuce. He was eleoted treasurer ofFreedom in 1879, when he was just 21years of age, aud having moved toLodi he was elected treasurer of thattown iu 18S3.

F( B PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.John P. Kirk, the nominee for pros-

ecuting attorney, is a native of thiscouuty, having been born in Ypsilanti,Sept. 20, 1867, and has continued toive in that oity ever siuce. His par-iuts have beeD residents of the same

JOHN P. KIRK.place for the past 33 years. Mr. Kirkat an early age entered the publioschools at Ypsilanti and graduated inthe high school in the spring of 1886.The following fall he entered the lawdepartment of the University of Michi-gan and took his LL. B. degree fromthat institution in 1888. He immed-iately entered the practice of his chosenprofession at Ypsilanti and winning theconfidence of the people was electedcity attorney, being at that time theyoungest city attornev in the state ofMichigan. The confidence was foundnot to be misplaced and he was re-elected in 1891 and again in 1893,1894, 1895. A peculiar feature is,that Mr. Kirk was chosen to this posi-tion notwithstanding the fact thatevery time he was elected the commoncouncil stood either a tie between thademocrats and republicans or the latterwere in the majoirty.

At a time when Ypsilanti was threat-ened with the loss of its militai-y com-pany, Mr. Kirk was united upon byopposing factions for the captaincy andit is now one of the most enthusiasticorganizations in the state, mainlythrough his efforts. He has beenmember of the Light Guards for tenyears and has held every position fromeighth corporal up to captain.

Lee N. Brown was born Oct. 6,1869, in the township of Van Buren,Wayne county. His father, Lester N.Brown, was always a staunch de'mooratand bis son is not one whit less a dem-ocrat than he. Most of his boyhooddays were spent on his father's farm inthe southeast part of Ypsilanti town.He attended school at the Modedistriot school until he was 17 yearsold when he went to the Belleville highschool, graduating in 1889, being pres-ident of bis class and the lyceum.

THE STUDIOUS GIEL.

Dr. Batwell's Narrow Escape.Dr. Edward Batwell, of Ypsilanti,

had a vei'y narrow escape from whatmight have resulted in his deathThursday of last week, and it was onlyhis quickness of aotion winch savedhim. The doctor has a hydraulic ramat Hignland cemetery which is used forforcius water up to sprinkle his bur-ial lot. The ram became stopped upand he went there to repair it. Whilebusily engaged he happened to notice arattlesnake directly behind him. Theserpent was coiled up and the very in-stant it was discovered it was ready tospring at the doctor and fasten itsdeadly fangs on him. Quicker than aflash the doctor struck the snake witha hammer which he had in his handand luckily sucoeeded in hitting thereptile on the head and killing it. Dr.Batwell's partial deafness preventedhis hearing the usual warning given bysnakes of this species and it was bythe merest chance that he discoveredits presence. The snake measured threefeet long and had five rattles which thedoctor has preserved to substantiate hisstory.—Times.

Race Between the Sexes for Education.Health Impaired by Incessant Study.

The race between the sexes for edu-cation is to-day very close.

Ambitious girls work incessantlyover their studies, and are often

brought to a halt,through having-

sacrificed the phy-sical to the mental.

Then begin thoseailments that must beremoved at once, orthey will produce con-stant suffering. Head-ache, dizziness, faint-

ness, sliglit vertigo,pains in the back and

loins, irregularity,loss of sleep andappetite, nerv-ousness and

blues, with lackof confidence;

these are positivesigns that wo-

men's arch enemy is at hand.The following letter was

received by Mrs. Pinkham inMay, one month after the young ladyhad first written, giving symptoms,and asking advice. She was ill and ingreat distress of mind, feeling shewould not hold out till graduation, andthe doctor had advised her to go home.

College, Mass.You dear Woman:—

I havetaken the Vegetable Compound faith-fully, and obeyed you implicitly and,am free from all my ills. I was a very,very sick girl. Am keeping well up inmy class, and hope to do you and myselfcredit at graduation. * * My gratitudecannot find expression inwords. Your sincerefriend, MABY

P. S. Someof the other Jgirls are now °using the Com- °pound. It ben- 0'efits them all.

Lydia E. Pink-ham's VegetableCompound is the onlysafe, sure and effectual remedy in suchcases, as it removes the cause, purifiesand invigorates the system, and givesenergy and vitality.

Rising Prices Stimulate Production—MoreProduction, Moro Work—More Work,Better Wages—The Worker's InterestsLie with Silver, the Drones with Gold.

How will the wages of labor be af-fected by the depreciation of moneyand the corresponding rise in theprice of commodities which, it is uni-versally conceded, will be the effectof the unrestricted coinage of silvermoney? An intelligent answer to thisquestion involves not only the studyof the effect of the rise and fall of thepurchasing power of money upon theremuneration of labor in the past, theft discussion of the present conditionsof labor and its future prospects underthe existing gold standard.

We are met by the contention that thepurchasing power of wages has in-creased under a gold standard—thatthe decline in the price of the neces-saries of life has been greater thanthe decline in the price of labor. Insome favored localities and in somefavored trades this is true, not on accountof the gold standard, however, but byvirtue of the thorough organization ofof laboring men. But we are not toestimate the average rate of wages bythe nominal wages paid to those em-ployed. Because 100 men find employ-ment at any particular trade at $2 perdiem, we cannot justly assume, withoutfurther investigation, that $2 per diemis the real rate of wages for that trade.We must take into consideration allof the men entering into competitionfor that $2. If there are another 100idle men seeking employment in thesame trade then the real rate is but$1 per day. The real rate of wagesat any particular time or place can beobtained only by dividing thewage fund — the gross amountpaid to labor annually — bythe number of men competing foremployment. Measured in this way therate of wages was never so low in theUnited States as at the present time.And there is the further fact to con-sider that as the appreciation of thegold standard of value continues thisrate must become still lower and oneby one those who are now at workwill be transfered to the army of theunemployed, an army that at the pres-ent time is estimated to have in it*ranks one-third of the men who areunder the necessity of earning a liveli-hood by manual labor.

In spite of the salutary effect of la-bor organizations the wages of all la-bor—excepting the official whose com-pensation is fixed by law-—are fixedby the law of supply and demand,fixed by competition. It followersthen that the condition of businesswill have an important influence uponthe price of labor. All concede thatthe free coinage of silver, by decreas-ing the purchasing power of money,will cause a rise in the price of com-modities measured by that money. Theindustrial history of this country af-fords conclusive proof that rising priceswill stimulate all lines of business.Prosperous business will guaranteefull employment to labor at good wages.When money is advancing in valueand commodities are falling men hesi-tate to invest their money in businessenterprises and as a consequence thedemand for labor slackens. This hasbeen the history of every period ofdeclining prices. On the other hand,when commodities are advancing andmoney is declining it is more profitableto invest capital in productive industrythan to hold it in a shape that isdeclining in value like money. Again,every one is anxious to secure theprofits which spring from rising prices.And the activity thus stimulated givesfull employment to labor in the pro-duction of wealth. Add to the priceof the farmer's products and you addto his capacity to purchase from themerchant. The merchant must in turnpurchase from the manufacturer andthe manufacturer to meet the increaseddemand must give more employmentto labor. More employment meansfewer idle men. Decrease the numberof idle men and you increase the op-portunity for those employed to securea larger compensation for their labor.Any one can understand that with tenjobs for nine men the opportunity forlabor to demand a fair price will begreater then when there are ten menfor nine jobs. With these facts inview the assertion that with free coin-age labor will be paid the presentscale of wages in money of less pur-chasing power than that now in useis clearly seen to be a ridiculous false-hood.

We have on the one side of thisfinancial controversy the interests ofthe producing masses—they who createthe wealth of the country—and theirinterests lie in the direction of cheapermoney and dearer commodities. Uponthe other side are marshalled the non-producing classes—they who live bytribute levied upon the production ofothers—their interests will be bestserved by dear money and cheap com-modities. The interest of the workingman in this struggle obviously lies onthe side of the producer.

CHARLES A. WARD.Hanm's ComplimfjOrtg to Farmers.

Mark Hanna will no longer permithis hireling claqueurs to speak at fairs.He says: "The average attendant ata county or state fair is a great dealmore interested in the six-legged calf,the sword eater, the balloon ascension,the parade of prize stock, the trottingraces and the patchwork exhibit, thanin the intricacies of the financial ques-tion or the benefit of a high tariff.The people listen to the speech forabout three minutes and then hurry

to buy red lemonade. The speakersonly serve to Increase the gate receipts,and that does not gain votes accordingto the manner in which the nationalcommittee views the situation." ThisIs a compliment to the good sense Iof the farmers, who, as a rule, are jbetter posted on the financial question.Three minutes of prattle about 50-centdollars is all they can stand. Theyfind even red circus lemonade moresubstantial.—Farm, Field and Fireside.

STRAWS OF THE CAMPAIGN.

Showing That the Wind in Michigan I>Wafting Towards Bryan,

The president of Holly, three mem-bers of the council and twenty-oneother Republicans of Holly have de-clared their intention of repudiatingthe gold plank of the St. Louis con-vention.

At a wedding in Grand Lodge, astraw vote resulted Bryan, 19; McKin-ley, 1.

A canvass of seventy-five school dis-tricts in Calhoun county gives Bryan1,400 majority.

Mayor John Starr, Republican, of St.Joseph, in a letter for Bryan says: "Noman's Republicanism was ever ques-tioned on account of being a bimetalistuntil the party was confiscated by themoney changers and kings of fabulouswealth last June—the class of menwhom Christ locked out of the temple."

Over sixty silver Republicans havejoined the Bryan Silver club atAllegan,Mich., organized with 463 members.

Rev. Isaac W. Higgs, Prohibitioncandidate for governor of Illinois, isstumping Michigan for Bryan.

A canvass of a school district in Lafa-yette township, Gratiot county, re-sulted Bryan, 48; McKinley, 3.

The Democratic city committee ofHolland claim that their canvass shows40 majority for Bryan in that citywhich has hitherto been Republican.

A free silver club of sixty has beenorganized in Lears.

A. H. Whitney, president of the freesilver club of eighty at Onondaga, is aformer Republican leader.

Twenty-one prominent Republicansof Milford will vote for Bryan.

Oxford township, Oakland county,has a Bryan silver club with 223 mem-bers of whom twenty-one were formerRepublicans and nine Prohibitionists.

The Bryan silver club of Kalamazoohas 1,050 members.

Dr. Schuyler Champin, of Lansing,estimates Bryan's majority in Michiganat 60,000.

A straw vote taken at MonroeWednesday among fifty-six farmersabout half of whom were Republicansresulted Bryan, 49; McKinley,6; doubt-ful, 1.

There is a gold club at the MichiganStove works which in Detroit includes al-most every employe and yet one ofthe men took a canvass of fifty ofthe employes and found forty-nine sil-ver men and one gold man.

An Ann Arbor gold man in talkingwith some gold friends the other daywas overheard to announce that hewas negotiating for a farm which hewould purchase if Bryan was electedbut he wouldn't invest any money infarms if he were not.

A poll of traveling men on the trainfrom Port Huron to Sand Beach re-sulted Bryan, 17; McKinley, 3.

Mayor Boynton, of Port Huron, thesage of the Maccabees, asks "whycouldn't fifty New Yorkers with theirmillions at their command gather to-gether in twenty- four hours $100,000,-000 of the $1,500,000,000 demand gov-ernment obligations and drain thetreasury of its gold?"

Chauncey M. Depew made a goldcampaign speech in University hall atAnn Arbor under the auspices of theStudents' Lecture association, after hehad been warned that the regents hadadopted a rule that no politicalspeeches were allowed in the hall. Mr.Depew evidently believes himself abovelaw, which is made only for the com-mon people. He is a worthy repre-sentative of the feeling which animatescorporations and trusts. Many peoplewho paid $1 to hear an advertised lec-ture came away disgusted.

A census of the occupants of theWayne county jail, taken by the De-troit Tribune shows the following tobe their political bias: For gold (Mc-Kinley), 35. For silver (Bryan), 8.

At Otsego there was a tremendous sil-ver rally, with addresses by ColonelBradshaw, B. L. Ransford, J. T. Hol-man and others. It was the biggestturnout Otsego ever saw, and Mr. Bar-deen has since discharged one of hispaper mill hands who took part in thesilver parade. — Grand Rapids FreeCoinage Independent.

Frank H. Hosford, secretary of thenational Democratic campaign commit-tee, stated in Detroit, the other daythat Bryan will be elected president bythe largest majority ever given a pres-ident of the United States.

An immense Republican campaignfund will be disbursed in the middlewest this year. More money will bespent by the Hanna-crats in an ef-fort to buy Michigan than was everput in the state for that purpose before.

The venom of, the Cleveland adminis-tration has reached Roman I. Jarvis,the silver candidate for congress inthis district. He has been removedsummarily from the postmastership ofBenton Harbor. No complaint hasbeen lodged against .Tarvis for neglectof duty, but on the contrary he has thecredit, of being one of the best post-masters in Michigan, and the people ofBenton Harbor were well pleased withhis administration; but he committedthe offense of the goldbugs of workingand speaking for his honest convic-tions and his head had to come off.

! Nothing is said to John Enright of De-troit postoffice, Andy Fyfe at GrandRapids, Lou Rov/lsy at Lansing, he-cause of their "pernicious activity" in

! aiding McKinley. Let us elect Jarvis;| that will be the best rebuke we can' give the administration. — HastingsJournal.

Win. Jennings Bryan only spoke to70,000 people in Detroit. Surely the"silver craze" is dying out, and if itcontinues to die next week as it hasin the two weeks that have justelapsed, Bryan's election will beunanimous.

upon the rights of the public with impunity, that know that the success othe Chicago platform means that theiplying upon the public shall foreveceasei—W. J. Bryan, at Detroit.

THE REASON WHY.My republican friends, you who be

lieve the idea of protection to be omore vital importance to the countr.than its monetary system, did it eve•occur to you that the eastern monopolists, money changers and corporatioilawyers who were kicked out of thdemocratic party at Chicago and whare now putting up their time andmoney to secure ths election of MajoMcKinley are not making this expenditure of capital and jjsnius for thepurpose of bringing about a change inour tariff laws. They know, as everyOne'else knows, that the silver meicontrol the U. S. senate and will continue to control it tor a longer periocthan the next term of the presidencyand that they will allow no tariff legislation to pass congress until the moneyquestion is settled. It is because theybelieve that by electing Major McKinley they can fasten the gold standardupon this country that they are supporting his candidacy, and because,hey kuow that so long as Mark Hanns the power behind the throne the

monopolies which they represent wilnot be disturbed in the enjoyment o:their unlawful and oppressive priyileges.

O, yes! the silver sentiment is dying.It is dyeing the country a silvery hueand on the 3d of November will dyethe crape with which the political am-bitiensof Mark Hanna's candidate willbe laid away in their last resting place.This silver craze is a dyer from wayback.

There is a fish, it said, that caneffect its escape by so clouding thewater that it cannot be seen, and inthis campaign the gold bug democratis engaged in the business of stirringup the water while he flops over intothe republican tauk.—W. J. Bryan, atDetroit.

Mr. Bryan says it is not because themonopolies, trusts and corporations ofthis country aie afraid that he willnot enforce the law and protect lifeand property, that they are opposed tohim in this struggle, but because theyare afraid that he will make thosemonopolies, trusts and corporationsobey the law, just as every citizen inthe humble walks of life is now obligedto obey it.

Sound money and m-osperity is aglittering alliteration with which ourrepublican hustlers sometimes varythe monotony of their cry of McKiuleyand protection. Yet the elector doesnot need to be blessed with any morethan the ordinary run of historicalknowledge and current information toknow that we have had what they arepleased to term sound money since1873 and that it is getting sounder andsounder with each succeeding yearand yet the sounder it gets the lessprosperity we enjoy.

This government is not in dangerfrom small law breakers. They arealways punished. It is the big lawbreakers, the men who think they aregreater than the government, and evendispute authority with the Almighty,that are a menace to our institutions.My friends, it is the coal trust that isafraid I won't enforce the law, andthe sugar trust and the Standard Oiltrust, and all this horde of trusts thathave violated the law and trampled

The Courier objects because the Argus has called attention to the rapiditywith which indebtedness and its conomitant sheriff aud mortgage sales

nave increased in this county undeithe "sound" money which the Courieradmires so much. As a proof that theArgus is wrong it cites the number o;advertisements of such "sales whichwere published in the Courier duringthe first few years after the demonetization of silver in 1873 and the number of such advertisements which appeared in that paper last year.

Only two deductions can be madefrom the Courier's figures. The firsis that during the years from 1873 t(1878, the effort of the government tbring the greenback back to a par wit]gold, and the added effect of the demonetizatiou of silver was rapidly increasing the value of money with idepreciation in the yalue of propertyand forcing the debtor to the wallThe other deduction is that the pro;tige of the Courier as a newspaper hadeclined with the fortunes of the partjthe'Courier represents. Those>\vhxare eonversaijt with the statistics ftompiled by the United States census bureau, know that not only has the mortgage indebtedness of the country beerincreasing but it has been parallelleby a large increase in the number otenant farmers, the legitimate seiuencc of mortgage foreclosures. Thbnly reason that the mortgage forejlosures have not been greater duringthe past few years is that the value o'arm property, when measured by thegold standard, has so declined thatmuch of it will not bring the face ofth!e mortgage and the creditor is con;ent to take what he can get of his in

erest. and let the matter drag alongflie Courier's attempt to lead thefarmer to believe that they have beengetting out of debt is too transparentHow could they with prices decliningso rapidly'? /

THE PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE.For the first time since 1860 the peo

pie of this country have an opportun-ity to elect to the presidency, a manwho is distinctively a people's candi-date; who is in close touch with thecommon people; who is standing foifundamental principles of governmentupon which rests the prosperity of themasses. In the impassioned languageof Mr. Bryan himself: "There isnothing in that Chicago platform thatthreatens the business safety of society. There is nothing in that plat-form that interferes with the right ofany man to life, liberty and property.There is nothing to menace the wel-fare of the man who expects to earnhis living. The only people whose in-terests are menaced are those who ex-pect to live off the earnings of others."Every sentence breathes protectionfor the masses from the classes. Thenlet us try a change. Let us once morehave a president of the people—aJackson to check the aggressions oforganized wealth; a Lincoln to leadthe people out from bondage. Thecorporations whose power has becomegreater than that of the governmentitself, and the bankers who have beenable to play football with the nationaltreasury, will not like this it is true,but then we have always understoodthat this republic of ours was the crea-tion of the people, and was created forthe benefit of the people and not forany class or section. When the in-erests of the few clash with the inter-

ests of the many, the few must standaside, or the many will lose theirprivilege of self government'

TARIFF AND PROSPERITY.Immediately after the St. Louis con-

vention, where a large number of del-igates bolted on account of Tom

Platt's gold plank, the republicaneaders announced that the tariff

would be the issue. Soon after theChicago convention they discovered

integrity of the nation" was the issueand after discussing that question forabout six weeks it has dawned uponthem that they have the short end ofthat issue, and they have returned totheir old cry "tariff and prosperity,"which has been their watch word forthat the money and the "honor anda generation. But the people havenot changed front. They are still ofthe opinion that the question of ourmonetary basis outranks all others.They know that they have had thetariff since 1862, and that during althese years their prosperity has slowlyfaded away as the appreciation of goldhas increased the value of moneyThey are now awake to the fact thatit is the volume ot money, and nolthe percentage of protection in thetariff, that determines the condition olbusiness. They know that the tariffmay be removed altogether, and everycustom house that now stands as abarrier to trade be razed to the ground,or that the tariff wall may be raisedso high that not a pound of merchan-dise can be landed upon our shores,and yet the men who control thefinancial policy will shape its indus-trial future and can make or unmakethe country's prosperity as best suitstheir individual ends. Knowing thesethings, thinking people have come tothe conclusion that the minor questionof how high a rate of protection thisor that article shall receive, can safelybe laid aside until the power to con-trol the money of the country iswrested from the hands of Wall street

THE SUPREME COURT.Those goldites who seek to make

political capital out of the criticism bythe democratic platform of the decis-ion of the supreme court of the UnitedStates which, by reversing the estab-lished prect dents of that court for atiundred years, deprived the federaigovernment of the revenue which theincome tax would have turned into thetreasury, should study the precedent;established by the republican party indealing with that tribunal. If the ut-terance of the Chicago platform is in-cendiary, read the declaration of therepublican platform of 1860 upon theDred Scott decision. A republicancongress reduced the number of judgesupon the bench to preveut AndrewJohnson from appointing the successors of those retired and again increased the number in the next term to givea republican president a chanee to appoint six of those judges. This is therepublican record upoh.the supremecourt. Let us see what offense tindemocracy gave at Chicago.

"We declare that it is the duty ofcongress to use all of the constitutional power which remains after that de-cision, or which may come by its re-versal by the court as it may hereafterbe constituted, so that the burden^ o]taxation may be equally and impar-tially laid, to the end that wealth maybear its due proportions of the. ex-pense of the government."

Is there any suggestion in that ut-terance of lawlessness or of the usur-pation of the powers of the court'? Isthere any intimation of a resistance toregularly organized authority?

When we consider that when thesupreme court first passed upon theconstitutionality of the income tax;here were four for and four againstsustaining the law, and when theninth member of that court, JusticeJackson of Tennesee, was able to re-turn to his duties and the questionwas again raised, Justice Shiras, wholad upon the former occasion votedto sustain the law changed his vote,thus making a majority of one againstt, can criticism of that decision be

such a serious offense against the peaceand tranquillity of the nation'? Thesupreme court is but the creature ofthe constitution and no branch of gov-ernment created by that instrument isvested with an authority which thesovereign power of the people whoseompact of government it is, cannot

and without violating the terms ofhat compact, revise or rescind at will.

There has been no proposal on the partof the democratic party to reach a set-lement of the income tax questionither than by constitutional measuresmd certainly a measure designed toompel the wealth of the country tohare its just proportion of the bur-lens of government will not be con-lemned as revolutionay by thinkingeople who have the wellare of theountry rather than the success of aolitical party, at heart.

When the train,which was a long one, began to pullout, tbe boys jumped on to it and hav-ing ridden as far as they dared drop-ped off as the train gained in speed.It had been raining and the steps ofthe coaches were slippery in conse-quence. Young Pankey was riding ontbe fourth car from the end of the trainand when be jumped hiB foot slipped,he lost his hold and he fell striking theback of his head on the side of thecoaoh. From there he fell to the groundwith his head- on tbe rail and thewheels of the cars passed over the backpart of his skull crushing it away^andcausing his death instantly.. His bodywas picked up by the section handswho were following the train on a handcar. It was removed to O. M. Martin'sundertaking rooms and his father andmother were informed of his death.

A coroner's jury consisting ofCharles Dwyer, Lester Canfield, • Wil-liam Bldert, Joseph Clay, ThomasBell and George Craig was impanelled,who viewed the body and adjourned.The verdict of the jury at the inquestheld Tuesday afternoon, was in accord-ance with the facts.

THE GOLD DEMOCRAT&

With a Ticket Bolstered Up by RepublicanMoney.

The so-called sound money Demo-cratic ticket is but a stool-pigeon forthe Republican cause. It is bolsteredup by Republican money, and iameant only to divert Democratic sup-port from Bryan. The gold leaderswho have desserted the nominees ofthe Chicago convention are not honest.They will not vote for Palmer andBuckner. Ballots cast for that ticketwill be given by privates seduced andfooled into an allegiance to supposedfriends. The generals, one and all,from Grover Cleveland down to thevoluble Sheehan. of Ann Arbor, willvote directly for McKinley and Ho-bart, and the cost of their campaign1B the price paid for their votes.

To show this, it is only necessaryto state that, TO SECURE THE AUDI-TORIUM AT DETROIT FOR BRY-AN'S SPEECH IN THAT CITY, THEDEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE WAS OB-LIGED TO NEGOTIATE WITH THEREPUBLICAN COMMITTEE, WHOHAD ENGAGED THE HALL FORBOURKE COCKRAN'S ANTI-BRYANSPEKCH. MARK HANNA IS "PAY-ING THE FREIGHT," and the depth ofthe conspiracy against the Chicagoticket may be judged by that fact.

Democrats must be careful of everytrap thus laid, not only to defeat themin the present campaign, but to sodemoralize their organization that fut-ure success must be improbable.

Republican silver men may also seethe danger of their blind allegianceto a party now only Republican inname. It is a duty they owe them-selves and the country to join thethousands of good, earnest believersin the principles that until now havebeen professed by their party organi-zations, and array themselves uponthe side of right and justice, droppingfor the time, as all supportersof Bryan and Sewall have dropped,the pushing of minor considerations,for the purpose of righting the greatwrong that has been more destructiveto prosperity than war, pestilence, orfamine.

Ko man can be true to himself who,believing in true bimetallism, yet votesfor monometallism by supporting Mc-Kinley. He gives the lie to his professions,however honest he may imagine hispurpose to be. If a Republican, hebut fastens the fetters of gold themore firmly; if a Democrat he butaids in the destruction of his party.

The battle of the ballots is only ashort time away. The issue is plain.Bimetallism is only possible at thepresent time by the election of Bryanand Sewall. Monometallism will bemore firmly entrenched as a result ofthe election of McKinley and Hobart.

Look well to the ballot!—YpsilantiSentinel.

EFFECTS OF CONTRACTION.

A. Definition Given in 1893 Which HasBeen Fully Verified.

"What is the effect of contraction ofthe currency? It makes money dearer.Its purchasing power rises. It takesmore of labor and its products to buythe dollar. Debts have to be paid indearer money.

"Contraction is so fearful a thingthat no man dares propose it. Reducethe currency—the means of the people—and you are fast finding the road touniversal bankruptcy, from which maybe seen leading repudiation.

"We, with our extent of territory andimprovements, require more money percapita than France of England. Fallingprices, caused by variations in moneyare always a calamity, as our countryhas felt.

"Real appreciation of money is a ca-calamity. It restricts the circulation,causes falling prices, harder payment ofdebts, diminishing trade and generaldistrust.

"It must be confessed that the realappreciation of money which comesfrom contraction, or making it growdearer, is so repungant to the popularinstinct that no public man dare pro-pose it."

This was written in 1873 by a well-known author, and seems to prophecywhat has come to pass in a contractionof our money.

BRYAN MICHIGAN.He Is Greeted by Enthusiastic

Throngs Everywhere.

MAKES MANY TELLING SPEECHES.

Which Carry Conviction to Thousands olHearers—-Over Fifty-five Speeches Madein Four Days Make the Mate of Michigana Banner Stute.

William J. Bryan reached Michigan,Oct. 14, and in twenty-four hours hehad traversed the upper peninsula,made twelve speeches and addressed40,000 people. In this time he hadtraveled 435 miles, shaken hands withbluff miners and woodsmen, too numer-ous to count. He made five-minutespeeches at Watersmeet, Iron river andNorway, half-hour speeches at Esca-naba and Ishpeming and talked foran hour and fifteen minutes at Mar-qette. Crossing at Mackinaw on themorning of Oct. 15, Mr. Bryan wentto Petoskey where he was greeted by5,000 people including many GrandArmy men in uniform.

At Watersmeet Mr. Bryan said:"The money question has never beensubmitted to the American people asit is today, since the time of AndrewJackson. At that time the people metand discussed and decided whethera national bank should run the coun-try, and in this campaign they arediscussing and are going to decidewhether the financiers shall run thiscountry in the interests of foreignfinanciers, or whether the American peo-ple shall run it themselves in their owninterest.

Mr. Bryan's next stop was at Flor-ence, Wis. A portion of his speechran: "We have been trying the goldstandard for twenty years, and if thereis anybody who believes that it hasbeen a success and that we ought tomaintain it still because it has beena success that person has not had muchinfluence in national conventions, be-cause in all the time we have had thegold standard in this country not asingle party has ever declared that thesingle standard has been a success. (Avoice—"We have not got enough mon-ey.") I find a great many of thatkind. If there is anybody who hastoo much let me advise him to votethe Republican ticket, because youwon't have too much of it for the nextfavor years if you do."

At Iron Mountain Mr. Bryan was re-ceived by a very large crowd. He said:

Evil of a Rising Dollar."You say that a dollar rising in value

every day is a good thing for the farm-er, because when he gets a dollar itwill be a good dollar. Put the emphasison the 'when.' You say it is a goodthing for the laboring man to be paidwith dollars which buy a great deal.Remember that the laboring man isinterested in getting a chance to workbefore he is interested in being paidwith good dollars. He knows that thegold standard increases the number ofidle men and that idle men are amenace to every man who has employ-ment, and the laboring men under-stand this' because the laboring menof this country are demanding theopening of our mints and the restora-tion of the free coinage of silver atthe ratio of 16 ot 1. I would rathertrust these laboring men to know whatis good for them than to trust menwho have spent their lives trying todestroy laboring men's organizationsand who try now to speak for them."

Mr. Bryan was presented at Escanabawith a badge of the national colors,surmounted by a crown of silver. Hesaid In part:

"Danger" of Agitation."No wonder the Republicans in sev-

eral states have declared against agita-tion, my friends. It is agitation thatis defeating the chances of the Re-publican party for success. If youcould keep people from talking andthinking, it might have a chance thisyear. Four states declared in Repub-lican conventions, not only that freecoinage was a bad thing but that agita-tion was a bad thing.

"I never heard a man denounce agi-tation without wondering how he evergot into this country and why he didnot stay in a country where peopledo not vote. In a nation like oursthere is only one way to redress griev-ances, to remedy wrong and that isby agitation, by public discussion, andour opponents say that they don'twant agitation. I wonder how theyexpect to stop agitation without stop-ping the cause for agitation.

"They are getting the cart before thehorse, my friends. They say stop agi-tation, as if agitation was a cause.Agitation is the result of a conditionand when you remedy that condition,you will stop agitation and not before.Our opponents seem to think that allthey have to do is to get the headsof the trusts and syndicates togetherand let them shout in chorus 'Stcrptalking,' and the people will keep still.But they won't, my friends.

•'My, friends, in one sense our cam-paign is a defensive one. In anothersense it is an aggressive campaign.It is defensive in that we are defend-ing our homes and our fireside froman enemy as dangerous as ever at-tacked the welfare of the people. Itis an aggressive warfare in that wedemand affirmative legislation. It isaggressive in that we are for some-thing and know what we are for andhow we are going to get it.

We propose a financial system. Ouropponents, without proposing, simplyoppose what we propose. We ask themwhat they are going to do -and theysay they are going to oppose us. Thatis all. We ask them what they wantin the way of a financial system, andthey say ttey want what we don'twant.

"They say they want sound money.We tell you what we think will be

,*>und money. They tell us they wantlonest money; we tell you what we'mink is honest money and what lamore, a more honest dollar than thegold dollar is today.

"My friends, there are two things nec-essary for money, quality and quantity,It does not do you much good to havethe quality if the quantity is absent.Suppose I am hungry and someonemakes a speech to me and convinces methat a certain kind of food is the verybest food in the world, and I shouldBay 'where is it?' They would answer'Haven't got any.' I will be hungryafter I heard the speech. But if he islike the average advocate of the goldstandard, after he describes this goodfood and has told me that he had notany and I asked him what I am goingto do about it, he says, 'Just have con-fidence that you have eaten it.' "

FALSE ASSERTION.

Supply of Money in the United States IsNot Already Sufficient.

The assertion that our supply ofmoney in the United States is alreadysufficient is palpably false. Accordingto the latest estimates of the treasurywe have only $23.28 a head in gold, sil-ver and paper, while France has $36.13.Of our circulation, $8.41 in gold is nowwithdrawn and hoarded and as longas greenbacks are treated as gold cer-tificates they, too, will be hoarded. Ouractual circulation, including all gold,silver, greenbacks and national banknotes used from week to week in actualbusiness is somewhere between $10 and$15 a head, and it is not over $15 at theoutside.

The insufficiency of our supply of sil-ver is demonstrated on the face ofthe treasury figures, which show thatwhile France has $12.94 of silver perhead of population, we have only $8.77.

If we did nothing more during Bry-an's administration than increase ourstock of silver to the per capita ofFrance, it would restore prosperity tothe country, giving to all classes, andespecially to retail merchants and arti-sans in cities like St. Louis, such prof-its as no legitimate business has pro-duced while currency contraction hasbeen going on.

If the people permit permanent pros-tration to be forced on the country,they will have no one to blame butthemselve. The cause of existing con-ditions is clear. The remedy is plain.It is for the people themselves to de-termine whether or not it shall be ap-plied, as they can do by assertingthemselves against the tories, pulto-crats and oligarchs who declare thatit is folly for Americans to attemptaction without the consent of London.

AN ACCIDENT.Mr. Quintus Hummel, of 118 Michigan

Are., Detroit, tells a War Storyof his own Experience, and

the Result.(PVom Detroit News.)

Our representative called at 118 Michi-gan Avenue, the residence of Mr. QuintusHummel. Mr. Hummel is a veteran ofthe late war, and received, in the campaign,an injury which has given him much painaud suffering since. He belonged to aMichigan cavalry regiment and his horsebecoming frightened one day reared up,throwing him backward. In falling hostruck his spine on a sharp stone, inflict-ing a deep cut over five inches long. Theinjury affected the kidneys. About twoyears ago the left kidney started to bleed,and has been doing so ever since. Mr.Hummel, in a few pointed sentences, gaveour representative the following account :

"The accident of my 'war days' leftme in bad shape; pain in my back andspine rendered me almost useless, and Iwas compelled to give up work entirely.I could not turn over in bed without assist-ance. I have spent hundreds of dollars invarious ways trying to find relief. Physi-cians have told me my spine was honey-combed for 13 inches. I had given up indespair, never hoping for relief, when afriend told me about Doan's Kidney Pills,and they have done me a world of good.The pains have disappeared from my back,and the bleeding of my kidney has almostentirely stopped. I know I can never beentirely cured, as I would have to be ' anew man,' but Doan's Kidney Pills havedone more to make me feel like 'a newman ' than nil the other things I have triedduring past years. I have not had anyrecurrence of the pain or bleeding sincetaking them."

John Smith Presents a Number of Pertl-nent Questions.

How does the average man in thiscountry get money, anyhow? Heworks for it, doesn't he? Who payshim the money? The man who hasgot the money, doesn't he? Men withmoney want money scarce, don't they?Why? Because then it would go far-ther in the purchase of labor and prod-uce, won't it? Then, as the purchas-ing power of a dollar goes higher, whogains by it? The moneyed man, doesn'the? And who is able to obtain lessand less of it for the same amount ofwhat he has to exchange for it? Thelaborer, who has nothing but his ener-gy with which to get money, isn't he?Who would then be addle-patedenough to try to tell the laborer thatthis would be an ideal position for himto be in? Some fellow with an ax to jgrind, wouldn't he? Who else espousesthat cause? Some blatherskite wholikes the sound of his voice, doesn't he?And he hops into print with a convinc-ing argument, too, doesn't he? And hecan settle the affairs of this nationwith one stroke of the pen, can't he?And he does it and goes around withthe idea that the eyes of the wholeearth are centered on him, doesn't he?And a wooden Indian with two lefthands and no head could see holes inhis argument and not half try, couldn'the? They are usually familiar with"little games," too, aren't they? "Load-ed dice" are part of their stock intrade, aren't they? They always think"the other fellow" is a blasted fool,don't they? JOHN SMITH.

A Free Ballot.

One of the planks of the Republicanplatform "demands that every citizenof the United States shall be allowed tocast one free and unrestricted ballot,and that such ballot shall be countedand returned as cast." That reads veryprettily indeed and the spirit in whichit is exemplified is shown in the coer-cion being practiced in every manu-facturing plant and railroad controlledby gold advocates in this country. Em-ployes threatened with the loss of theirsituations unless they bow to the be-hest of their gold masters and vote asthey dictate, is a strange interpreta-tion of the phrase "one free and unre-stricted ballot." Satan himself smilesat the duplicity practiced by his Re-publican vice regents. Boys, step intothat booth and vote as you cons-scientiously see fit.-—Kalamazoo Ga-zette.

WHY YOU LACK MONEY.Immense Loss of Michigan Farm-

. ers in Wealth.

GOLD VALUE OP AX ACRE'S CROP.

How It Hag Fallen in Tweuty-sii Tears-How Money legislation Has Affectedthe Fanner, His Immense Annual LoosThrough It ami the Keiuedy.

Because of un avorable conditionsnearly half of ou. people—the farmers—are deprived of a large part of theirability to purchase the products ofother industries; manufactures andcommerce suffer; railroad earning-sare lessened; mills, factories and fur-naces are often idle; wage-workersearning less lose the power to pur-chase, and a general shrinkage of bus-iness is the result.

The cause is in sight.By the census of 1890 about 43 per

cent., or 30,000,000 in all, of our people >lived on farms. ]n twenty years theloss of ability to purchase by this largeclass has fallen fully 50 per cent. Asprices of farm products have declined, ireducing the purchasing power of the !great producing force of the nation, so ihas waned the prosperity of others, jexcept the money-lending class.

This has not come about through arelative increase of our farming pop-ulation. The census of 1870 showedthat 52 per cent, of our people lived onfarms; in 1880 the proportion was near-ly 49 per cent.; and in 1890 about 45 percent.

Twenty-six years ago farm productsbrought satisfactory prices, so that 52 \per cent, of our people had ample reve-nue; their purchases of manu-factured articles were so liberalthat mills and factories ranfull time; mill owners, producers of |raw material, merchants, transporters—all engaged in production, distribu-tion and construction—were remunera-tively employed, and the result wasgeneral prosperity.

Money was plenty.* * *

In 1S66 a law was enacted to contractthe currency by burning $4,000,000 amonth. It brought on hard times andwas repealed in 1868. In 1869 an act waspassed "to strengthen the public cred-it," which declared that all war•bonds, payable by their terms In "law-ful money"—greenbacks were "lawfulmoney"—should be paid in "coin."in 1870 a funding act was passed thatmade all bonds issued under it payablein coin. Gold and silver were coin.In 1873 a coinage act was passed whichdropped the silver dollar, provided fora trade dollar and smaller coin andmaking silver money a legal tender foronly $5 in a single payment. Thus allthe war debt became payable in gold.Jan. 1, 1879, this country resumed speciepayments on a gold basis. Soon afterthat date the decline in price of farmlands and farm products commenced.Every Michigan farmer who stops tothink will realize that the decline hastaken place under the gold standard,for the law of 1873 made, for the firsttime in our history, 25.8 grains of stand-ard gold "the unit of value."

* * *For eighteen years, from 1878 to 1896,

all of our great agricultural stapleshave declined in price under the goldunit of value. This is indisputable.While there have been limited periodswhen the price of some product, as•wheat for example during the Russianfamine four years ago, has been higherthan for the preceding year, the gen-eral trend, ever since the resumptionof specie payments on a gold basis,has been downward.

This shows that from 1872 to 1893 sil-ver and wheat, their prices measuredby gold, declined with remarkable reg-ularity. Both went down together. Inother words, gold appreciated fromyear to year, and it required largerquantities of these products to pur-chase it. By demonetizing silver thedemand for gold was increased andthis inevitably enhanced its value, theevidence of which appeared in a gen-eral depression of prices of other com-modities. Since 1893, when the furtherpurchase and coinage of silver was dis-continued, prices have fallen still low-er, as every Michigan farmer is pain-fully aware. This is not theory. I t isan indisputable fact. Prices of farmstaples have fallen below profitableproduction under the gold standard.This tells the whole story.

* * *

' "While this decline of prices has beengoing on the cost of production has notbeen much reduced—statisticians plac-ing it for twenty years at only 5 percent.—yet prices for staple farm prod-ucts averaging 82 per cent, more forthe five years ended with 1875, thanduring the last five years for whichreturns are given. This is especiallytrue of the five great staples—wheat,corn, oats, hay and cotton—which oc-cupied 195,000,000 of the 206,000,000 acresof crops in 1893.

Taking the five years—1866-70—andthe average coin price of the five prod-ucts named was $15.67 per acre; for1871-5 it was $15.19; for 1876-80 it was$11.88; for 1881-5 it was $11.28; for 1886-90 it was $9.S1; for 1895, according to theofficial report of the department of ag-riculture, the value of wheat per acrewas $6.99, of corn $6.91, of oats $5.87 peracre. These official figures reveal in astar t l ing light the downward trend ofprices under the gold measure of val-ues.

# * *Bear in mind at the same time that

1866 witnessed the first contraction ofthe currency; that in 1869 the war debt,by its terms, "payable in "lawfulmoney," was made payable in "coin;"tha t in 1873 silver was demonetized andgold made the sole "unit of value;"tha t in 1879 the resumption of speciepayments on a gold basis took place;tha t while there was a limited coinageof silver as token money from 1ST is to

189S, any further supply of silvertnonfiy was stopped by the repeal ofthe Sherman silver purchase act in1393; and that during all these yearsgold has measured the value of farmproducts—their average value per acreshrinking more than one-half, and theonly dependence now for remunerativeprices is drouths and famines.

The average value of wheat per acrefor 1879, the year resumption of speciepayments on a gold basis took place,was $15.27, and for 1895 only $6.99; cornshrunk from $10.93 in 1879 to $6.91 peracre in 1895; oats from $9.28 to $5.87;barley from $14.11 to $8.88; and otherproducts in the same or larger propor-tion. Horses, cattle, swine, sheep,wool, pork, beef, etc., have experiencedthe same blighting influence, as everyMichigan farmer knows, and it hadoccurred under the gold measure ofvalues.

Statistics are not needed to provethe decline of prices. It is a matter ofcommon knowledge. They illustrateits extent. They confirm what allknow. If present prices cover the costof production, say $8.15 an acre, it isevident that the purchasing and debt-paying power of farmers as a class hasbeen wiped out under the gold stand-ard. Thirty million people live onfarms. Under the present conditions,the result of money legislation, silverhaving been demonetized and goldmade the sole unit of value, thus re-ducing the value of primary moneyone-half, they receive less, after al-lowing for the cost of production, thanordinary wages, and have lost fullyone-half of their wealth in the depre-ciated value of their farms. Had theirwealth been in gold, they would havegained; being in property, they havelost; for the effect of an appreciatedmeasure of values is always seen inthe debasement of property.

The average revenue for each acreIn staple crops, commencing with 1866.when currency contraction began—thetotal circulation then was about $50per capita, some tables placing it at$56.76—comparing each five-year pe-riod with 1893, was greater per acre bythe following sums and per centages:

1866-70—$7.59, or 93 per cent.1S71-75—$7.04, or 86 per cent.187G-80—$3.73, or 46 per cent.1881-85—$3.13, or 38 per cent.1886-90—$1.74, or 21 per cent.These comparisons are for the pe-

riods named with prices per acre ofstaple crops in 1893. For example, theannual average amount received peracre for the five years of 1866-70 was$7.59 more than for 1893, and so on foreach period. This gradual and greatdiminution of the revenue of our farm-ers tells the story of business depres-sion, increased number of failures, andgeneral discontent that have accom-panied the gold unit of values. Butthe enormous yearly aggregate of lossis more clearly seen by multiplying theacres devoted to staple crops by thedeclines in acreage value since 1866.

* * *As already stated, 206,000,000 acres

were devoted to crops in 1893. It fol-lows then that the purchasing anddebt-paying power of American farm-ers that year was $1,563,000,000 less thanit would have been if they had receivedthe prices paid in 1866-70; less by $1,-450,000,000 in 1893 than the annual aver-age for 1871-75; less by $768,000,000 in1893 than the annual average for 1876-80: less by $645,000,000 in 1893 than theannual average for 1881-85; less by$385,000,000 than the annual average forthe five years ended with 1890. Thisshows the dwindling revenue of ourfarmers. Michigan has about one-thirtieth of the population and thesame proportion of farmers in theUnited States, and on this basis theirloss of revenue would be over $52,000,-000 a year, or about $12,000,000 morethan all the taxes paid by the peopleof the state a year under national andstate authority.

Double the price of wheat, makingit $1 to $1.30 a bushel, the price it bringsin silver countries where the monetaryunit has not been changed, and notonly would several million more bush-els be raised, but this with the en-hanced price would make the total cropworth some $30,000,000 a year insteadof only about $10,000,000, as last year.Give the same conditions to the restof the country, with wheat a t $1 abushel and other farm products in pro-portion, and there would be feweridle factories, and wage-earners gen-erally would be vastly better off thanthey now are.

* * *

Values! Prices! What creates them?Of course there is supply and demand.But this is not all. Money is made bylaw a measure of values—a "unit ofvalue" the law says referring to 25.8grains of standard gold—as well as amedium of exchange. Professor Walk-er calls the standard dollar "the com-mon denominator of all values." Byit prices are determined, subject to theslight annual fluctuations of supplyand demand. We know that the mon-etary unit was changed in 1873. Priorto that time our monetary units wereof gold and silver; the two metalscoined into money measured values;since then gold alone has performedthat function. Restore silver to freeand unlimited coinage as primarymoney, at the 16 to 1 ratio with and onthe same terms as gold, and the num-ber of monetary units would soon bedoubled, prices would advance, therewould be more buying and selling, andprosperity would again come to ourfarmers and through them to all otherclasses.

The law of 1873 first dropped the sil-ver dollar out of our coinage system;it was partially restored in 1878; againit was dropped in 1893; and we appealto the common experience of our farm-ers to verify the statement that sincethe final successful raid on silver threeyears ago tinaes have been harder thanever. "Dollars or units," as providedby the coinage act of 1792, are not com-posed of 371% grains of pure silver;but existing law, enacted in 1873, de-clares that the gold dollar, "at thestandard weight of 25.8 grains shallbe the unit of value."

Silver was thus deprived of its char-acter as a price-maker, which had ex-isted for eighty-one years, and not be-ing full primary money is not. jointlywith gold, a measure of values. Goldalone has been "the unit of value," asthe law of 1S73 declares, for ,the pasttwenty-three years, and so far asmoney la concerned is the dictator ofprices today.

* * *Under the present law—an abund-

antly efficient cause owing to the in-creased demand for gold as a mon?ymetal—the serious decline in prices of

farms and farm products has takenplace, <!Ttailing an enormous lospurchasing power by the 30,-000,000 people who live onfarms, and causing general businessdepression. Money is bought with theproducts of labor. Hence Thomas H.Benton said: "All property is at themercy of the money power." The ex-perience «f Michigan farmers provesthis. Demonetising silver increased thedemand for gold and enhance its val-ue. Twenty-five and eight-tenths grainsare worth about twice as much asthey were twenty years ago, and hencewill buy twice as much land and itsproducts. We have, therefore, as in-evitable consequences of the goldstandard, a decline in prices of all sta-ple products of the farms and a simi-lar decline in the value of the farmsthemselves, until crops have fallen inprice below profitable production, theland has ceased to be desirable secur-ity for money, and all kinds of depend-ent business are reduced in value.

With farm products again restored toprices that would afford fair remuner-ation for labor and capital employed inproduction, as would be the case witha fairer and honester measure of valuesthan gold caii furnish, owing to thelarge demand for it and its limited sup-ply, the increased purchases of goodsfor the 30,000,000 people living on farmswould aid materially in keeping thespindles in factories busy; labor in cit-ies would find larger employment;money would be more abundant; confi-dence would be restored, and a newera of prosperity would awaken to newand vigorous effort the energy and en-terprise of our people.

Farmers of Michigan! the decay ofyour prosperity has come upon you andhas increased urder the gold standard,and the only hope of its revival lies inthe restoration of silver to its equalpartnership with gold as a moneymetal.

This is the supreme question, to t>edecided by your votes, in the presentpresidential contest. Gold and depres-sion you now have; the alternative issilver and prosperity.

State Taxation Increasing.Y/hile the value of the farms has been

steadily depreciating, and the price ofwhat the farmer sells has been rapid-ly declining, the state taxes, except forthe two Democratic years, have beenrapidly increasing. Here are the fig-ures of the state taxes for the pasteleven years:1886 $1,202,161.67 1887 $1,860,085.1618S8 l,45S,466.04 1889 1,821,521.101890 1.263,744.00 1801 1,443,849.611892 1,419,210.61 1893 1,931,214.691894 1,689,135.89 1895 3,013,919.521896 2,068.538.62

Compare the two years of Winans 'Democratic administration with thetwo years of the Rich second adminis-tration. During the two Democraticyears (1891-92) the state taxes were$2,863,060.22. During the two years ofRich's last administration the statetaxes are $5,082.45S. 14, an increase of$2,229,397.92. In other words the statetaxes for the past two years have beenabout 78 per cent, larger than for thetwo years of the Winans administra-tion. Will the voters of Michigan in-dorse the high taxation indorsed by thepresent administration?

SCARED OUT OF THEIR BOOTS.

An Admission from tli« Eaxt That McKin-ley Is Not Yet Elected.

Beneath the noise and smoke of thecampaign the quiet, steady progress offusion recorded from time to time ina paragra^S hidden among the columnsof political speeches has attracted littleattention. Yet it now presents a verydifferent aspect from that of a fewweeks ago. Then Republican hope washigh on account of Democratic andPopulistic dissentions. Now that hopehas dwindled to a few faint anu fadingglimmers from a few states that arenormally Democratic by large majori-ties. * * * In brief, fusion has madeit necessary that there shall be enor-mous Democratic defections from thefree silver ticket if Mr. McKinley is tohave even a respectable majority of theelectoral votes. For even if he gets ev-ery state east of the Mississippi andnorth of the Ohio and the Potomac,which includes Delaware and Mary-land, and gets West Virginia also, hestill needs two votes to make the nec-essary majority.

This is the campaign at a glance—the peril of free silver's success, theperil of free silver's bare defeat.—NewWorld, October, 1896.

"I am clearly of the opinion," saidDaniel Webster on Dec. 31, 1836, "thatgold and silver at rates fixed by con-gress constitute the legal standard ofvaluejn this country and that neithercongress nor the state has authorityto establish any other standard OR TODISPLACE THAT STANDARD."

When Silver Is Low, Wheat Is Low, Be-cause Kngland Buys India's Wheat forSilver—Kaise the Value of silver andEngland I'nys the American FarmerMore for His Wheat.England., it is said fixes the market

price of our surplus wheat.How?She is a great consumer, and pur-

chases most of our products.England owns India and encourages

wheat raising in that province.She furnishes the silver money with

which India does its business.India has no silver mines.Neither has England worth mention-

ing.England buys silver bullion, and

coins it into the India ruble.She pays an ounce of silver, sc

coined, for a bushel of wheat in India.Her wheat costs just what she pays

for silver.When silver could be coined free in

1873, silver bullion cost $1.29 peiounce.

That's what England paid for heiwheat in India, and our wheat wasabout the same.

When congress shut silver from themint, silver bullion began to be worthless.

England bought her silver bullionhere, at $1 per ounce, and paid theounce for a bushel of wheat in India.

The American wheat had to go downto $1, because England could buyfor $1 silver, enough for a bushel olwheat in India—the old price, viz. anounce.

The farmer in India got the sameamount of silver, every time.

But it cost England only a dollar.In 1892, silver was 87 cents an ounce,

and wheat was less than 80 cents here.In 1894 silver sold to England foi

74 cents an ounce, and wheat was 7Ccents a bushel.

In 1896 England could buy silverfor 64 cents an ounce, and trade herounce of silver for a bushel of wheatin India, and of course the price oiAmerican wheat had to follow.

America furnishes both silver andwheat.

England has to buy both.Farmers, why let her buy silver for

65 cents, and trade it for a bushel ofwheat, when by opening our own mintsand coining it into money, the sameounce would cost England 1.29 in gold?

Then if she gave an ounce of silverfor wheat in India, where would theprice of American wheat stand?

The India farmer gets an ounce ofsilver for a bushel of wheat.

You furnish the silver to Englandat G5 cents and let her go to India andcompete with you.

Where is your foresight?What kind of a business are you

doing? 'If you get an ounce of silver for a

bushel of wheat, you can have it coinedunder free coinage into $1.29.

A hundred bushels would bring $129.And every dollar would pay a note

or mortgage, taxes, salary or debts.Now you get $65 for 100 bushels and

it pays $65 of debt. You lose $64, spotcash.

Are not you American farmers asgood as the natives of India?

Well just think it over, and we be-lieve you will open the mints to freecoinage, drive England to either pay$1.29 for silver, or pay you a fair pricefor wheat.

Let us have an American system offinance that will benefit the Americanfarmers, who are great consumers ofproducts of labor, and who will buy ofthose products, in proportion to themoney they receive for their labor.—Adrian Press.

A Baker's Dozen Went to Canton.The enthusiasm of the republicans of

Washtenaw county for Major Wm. Mc-Kinley seems to find its vent almostsolely at home and does not extend tothe taking of a pilgrimage to Canton,O. On Friday last the Ann ArborRairoad ran an excursion at a very lowrate of fare to that place. It was con-fidently expected that this second at-tempt to get up a crowd would berowued with success, especially as the

students had sort of half agreed to fur-nish a party. But it was no use. When;hat train pulled out of the depot all;tie McKinleyites in it from this countywas a baker's dozen, made up as fol-ows: Thos. S. Sears, of Chelsea; A.V. Stevens and another man, fromWhitmore Lake; H M. Woods, GlenV. Mills, Dr. J. W. Norton, Obas.A. Sauer, and five students, from AnnArbor; and one lone student from Yp-silanti. About on^-tbird of one percent of the orowd that it was expectedwould go.

A Great Scienic Melodrama.The attraction at the Grand Opera

house tomorrow evening will be Lin-oln J. Carter's great scenic melo

drama, "The Fast Mail." It has beenone of the greatest successes known tothe stage for years. It has a story o1thrilling interest, and the scenic andother mechanical effects are said to bemarvelous. There is a representationof an engine room on a Mississippisteamboat, with the furnaces under theboilers in active operation. A very

| realistic train of cars shoots aorcss thestage, and the Niagara Falls scene isone of the most elaborate and daringthings ever undertaken in the drama.It is described as a beautiful, vivid andaccurate representation of that stupend-OD8 marvel of nature. ™*

The Falls are shown by moonlight,with the roaring and plunging waters,and the mist that rises from the seeth-ing ourrent. One of the most promin-ent of the play's features is the com-plete freight train of fourteen oars,with an illuminated caboose, drawn bya practical looomotive. The play itselfbas thrilling sitations in abundance,plenty of humor to lighten its toneand give it an agreeable flavor through-out. Seats are now on sale.

THE SAMEARGUMENTWhich the Protectionists Use

Applies to Free Silver.

R. CRIPPEN'S LETTER

Showing Why RepublicansShould Vote for Bryan.

Inconsistencies of Protectionists WhenThey Argue on the Financial

Question. — A WashtenawRepublican's Views.

Editor of the Argus: I have beenespecially struck with the wonderfulinconsistency of those men who areshouting in one breath for a high tar-iff and high prices, and in the next forthe gold standard and low prices.While every student knows that thereis ruuoh of evil, injustice and dangeriu a protective tariff, still if the repub-licans had declared for a high tariffand free coinage silver, they would atleast have been consistent. Now, how-ever, every argument against silver isequally an argument against high tar-iff, and every argument for high tariffis also for silver, and in this localitygold speakers will no longer allow ques-tions or debate.

Their first argument seems to be thatif prices are raised by free silver aswages never follow the rise of pricesthe wage-earner will suffer. For thelife of me I cannot see why the sameobjection does not lie equally againstraising prices by tariff.

Mr. Harrison admits that free silverwill put up prices on farm produots,but says the farmer will have to payhigher prices for^everything he buys,and so the increase will be nominal andnot real. Will not the tariff also raisethe price of what he buys? Can thetariff possibly help the price of thosethings of which we sell a surplusabroad and will not silver raise thoseequally with everything, and is it notadmitted that the gold standard actu-ally cheapens that class of products?They seem to believe in high pricesand yet to have a holy horror of cheapmoney, yet I always thought the termswere merely relative and the twothings went together.

They lift up their voices in lamenta-tion if a dollar is spent outside thecountry and seem to think that it is thesole object of trade to aocumulate alarge stock of gold, and at the sametime are in agony lest we should coinour own silver for no ocber reason thatI (inn .see except that it will makemonev plenty and prices high. Theyclaiii), also, that free silver will em-barrass trade with Europe. Is not atariit' expressly designed to hinder im-portations and does it not also hinderexportations both by rising the cost ofproduction here and provoking retalia-tion abroad? Do they not tell us to de-pend upon a home market and say weought to buy everything at home? Whythen should they fear to em harass foreign trade?

The especial advantages claimed forprotection as I understand it, is that itmakes business lively, gives abuiidantemployment at good wages to the lab-orer and good markets at high prices tothe producer. Now, does not all thatpresuppose an abundant supply ofmoney? How does it help matters tostrike out half of the bard money ofthe world and two-thirds of our ownsupply of the precious metals? Theysay we want for foreign and borrowedoapital. My own observation of bor-rowing is that it is a disastrous busi-ness. I believe in earning money, notborrowing, to bring prosperity. I be-lieve that eventually borrowing will setup a constant drain on this countrywhen we come to pay the interestabroad, and that it will soon lead tobankruptcy and that we might as wellsell a slice of the country to foreignersas to sell them its mills, farms, factor-ies and mines. Would it not be betterto set our idle men mining our ownsilver and not be so mad for Englishgold, even though the country were notopened up quite so fast, and hasn't thispremature opening of the country some-thing to do with over production anddepreciation of Michigan farms,

They tell us that we don't need mon-ey, that business is done by bankchecks, credits, etc., and that we musthave confidence. For my part I couldhave more confidence if there were lesscredit iu the system and more cash,I don't want confidence—not if I've gotto pay seven per cent for it—I'd ratherhave silver.

Neither do I understand why if Un-o!e Sam's signature is so good on thebankers' paper it is worth nothing onhis own, nor how money based on thewealth of the nation is necessarily fiat,while that based upon the debts of thenation or the assets of a few individu-als as by the Baltimore plan, should besound money, and when they talk ofan "elastic currenoy of national bank-notes tnat can be expanded and con-tracted according to the needs of busi-ness" I don't like that either. Some-bow it reminds me of inflation, ton-traction and ruination, and I've seentoo much of that already. I'd rathprdo business even on the Mexican dol-lar.

Neither can I see ariy consistency in:he positions taken by their leaders.Bobart in his letter says that underree coinage fie miner will take 5)lents worth of bullion and get it coin-

ed into a dollar that will buy just asnuch wheat, wool, cotton, iron, zinc,

etc., as ever, and that it would be agreat injustice to every producer. Ifbe dollar still met deferred payments

and fixed charges and buys as much ofevery product, I can't see where any^articular injustice is done except when

man wants to buy some silver spoons.

McKinley says free coinage will cutwages in two and all" I can get out o1that is that the dollar will buy onlyhalf as much, and I can't make thosestatements agree. Mr. Harrison saysthat free silver will cause contractionby which I understand low prioes, ancinstantly says that it will raise pricesof everything. When I called a goldbug editor's attention to it he said thafree silver would send prices up amsend them down at the same time, ancI'd believe him when I see him turn agrindstone both ways at once. As fothe smaller fry, editors, professorslawyers, politicians, etc., that I haveheard, unless I have forgotten all I everlearned, they were falsifying every facof history, breaking 6very rale of logic, and going against every principle opolitical economy, and their harangueswere a wild chaos of crazy argumentsincoherent and conflicting statementslying insinuations, violent abuse andfrenzied appeals to unreason. NowMr. Editor, won't you kindly take advice and inform me whether I havithe silver craz9 or these men have thegold craze and pretty hard too, for certainly we oan't all be in our righminds.

OUR STRONG TICKETContinued from First Paso.

FOR CORONERS.The gentlemen who have been chos-

en to make the run for these positionson the ticket are both well known andhighly respected residents. Men ofgood judgment and who will not al-low tbeir desire for the offlco fees torun away with that element of discre-tion that is so necessary to a coronerin deciding whether it is necessary tohold an inquest oi not.

Dr. Ernest A. Clark, has been apracticing physician of Ann Arbor forthe past six years, is a man of goodsound, business, common sense, andwill, if elected, administer the affairsof his important office in just tbat kindof a way.

Capt. Walter P. Beach, of Ypsilanti,the other candidate for coroner, wasborn in Hartford, Uouu., and for theten years following his 13th birthdayfollowed the occupation of a sailor,rising in that time to the position offirst mate which he held in 1845 whenhe retired from a seaman's life, hav-ing had his feet and hands frozen. Histitle of captain was earned in the warof the rebellion, when he was captainof Co. E, 10th Mich. Infantry. In1865 he came to Ypsilanti and has liv-ed there since tbat time. In his busi-ness as a real estate and insuranceagent he gained the confidence of hisfellow citizens and in 1891 was electeda justice of the pearie, which office bestill holds. He has also held otheroffices of trust, having been sheriff ofLapeer county, his home prior to thewar and a deputy United States mar-shal. Mr. Beach will make a goodconservative coroner and one who willhave the confidence of the people.

FOR SURVEYOR.Charles S. Woodard, of Ypsilanti,

the candidate for county surveyor, hasbeen a resident of Washtenaw sines1830. He was reared in Pittsfield andacquired his education by his own ex-ertions.

For three years he was in theservice of the state in the upper andlower peninsulas, and since 1851 hasworked largely for railroad companies.He has already been county surveyorfor a number of terms and his workhas always been excellent in its char-acter. His election will secure to thecounty a painstaking and effioient offi-cial.
