The d' mocrats will hold their primary election tomorrow, at which time they will select the men who will be elected for the various city offices November 4th, next. The only strap is for treasurer and there are three excellent men asking for your votp. They are well qualified and good citizens. You can't go wrong. The purchase of the old automobile building by the Schafer Saddlery company means a step forward in Dt-cv tur s condition. It means a new and splendid building, filled with sixty or seventy workmen, who draw an average wage of fifteen dollars per week. This means a pay roll of nearly $1,500 per week and a growing institution. We have received one contribution of fifty dollars for the young man who ■wants to give Decatur a new industry employing twenty-five men, and we are told by a number of other men that they will gladly do their share. We believe the next year will be the best ever known here and that wo will continue to go ahead in a substantial and steady way. We know we will if you will help push a little. If the high protective tariff really “protected' 1 the American farmer and kept the prices up why in thunder didn't they come down when the black cloud of democratic "free trade" begun to darken the sky. t ome to think about it mavbe the old law of supply and demand has something to do with it. Old fashioned people say they have always observed ihet when there is a general big crop of any product the prlc,-somewhat goes down uud when there is a scarcity the price goes up regardless of the tariff. —Portland Sun.
