Speakers Are Applauded Will Enthusiastic Approval. Hon. T. P. Dewey Pays Warm Trib ate to Hon. E. C. Burleigh. j 1 Belmont Center, Me., Sept. 8.— (Special).—The largest and most suc cessful political rally ever held ir Waldo county was Labor day’s greai Republican rally on Horace Chcnery's farm In this place. The crowd wa: variously estimated from 2500 to 3500 the people coming from all parts ol the country. Hundreds drove out it, barges, buckboards and automobiles from Belfast, eight miles away, but the greater portion of the crowd came In teams from all parts of Melmont Montville, Llncolnville, Morrill. Liber ty, Searsmont and even from the more distant towns of Brooks, Monroe Thorndike, Jackson, Knox, Searsport Northport and elsewhere. The crowd came early and stayed late. Two bands were in attendance, those from Llncolnville and Liberty, and there were two ball games on the program, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon when the speak ing was concluded. In the morning game Llncolnville beat Morrill 13 tn 1. and in the afternoon game Sears niont defeated Lincolnville by an even larger schore. It was a great fam'lv picnic of the whole county and the at tendance was by no means limited to Republicans. The assembled multi tude enjoyed a lunch basket dinner down by the wooded shore of the beautiful pond or in the shade of the hundreds of wagons which were scat tered over tlie fields and about the farm buildings. Mr. Ohenery provid ed hot coffee for the crowd and it re quire,) no less than 12 barrels of it to go around. The speakers of the day. the ball players, the musicians and a few guests of the Chcnery family en joyed a Baked Bean dinner in the picturesque camp near the lake, served by a coterie of Belfast’s most charm ing young ladies. The speaking was in the open air in the Held near the pond at 1.30 I’. M A large farm wagon served as the rostrum, and as the speakers had the wind in their favor the whole greai concourse was able to follow the speaking as easily as though it had been in a hall. Thomas E. Gushey, Esq., of Llncolnville, was the presid ing officer and brielly introduced the four orators of the afternoon. The first speaker was John Clair Minot of Augusta who confined himself to Stale issues during the 20 minutes he con sumed. The record of the two parties in Stale matters for the past half century was contrasted, their present attitude upon the issues in this cam paign was discussed and the qualifica tions of the two gubernatorial can didates compared. The pet Demo cratic arguments as to State expendi tures and State taxation were demol ished by ttie presentation of the offi cial facts and figures, especially those applying to Waldo county. The sec ond speaker was Orlando E. Frost of Belfast, who spoke for 15 minutes up on local and county matters, particu larly the sheriff tight, in which the records and qualifications of the two candidates were contrasted in a way that won long continued applause, from the crowd. Mr. Frost also dwelt at some length upon the public career of Congressman Burleigh, especially his services in lie half of Waldo county people and inter ests, and the popularity of Mr. Bur leigh was attested by tile cheers which greeted Mr. Frost’s tribute to him. The tBird speaker was John Ki ndrick Bangs, the famous author, who re peated tiere the great hit he has made by his earlier appearances in this cam paign. lie was at his best, and tie* open air speaking wss a much less strain upon him than the others and did not Interfere In the least with the sallies nf wit which punctuated his strong ad dress. The records of the two grea* Parties for the past half-hundred years were contrasted in the eloquent niar.n->r which has made Maine realize that Mr. Bangs is much more Ilian a humorist. His serious discussion of the great issues of the day, his warm eulogy of Taft and his satire at 111*’ expense of Bryan's third candidacy aroused great enthusiasm in the. crowd. The fourth and last speaker was Hon Thomas F. Dewey of Ohio, and after paying an eloquent tribute to Maine s great statesmen of the jiast and im pressing upon his hearers the fact that 'he whole country is watching the re ftilt of the election here next Monday, bi discussed in a masterly fashion the leading issues of national importance involved in this campaign. This was Mr. Dewey's lirst appearance in Maine, "'though lie is a well-known cam paigner in the West, and he most cm (Continued on Page Twelve.) 7-20.4 In six months 7,029,1 ■tror the panic ay times.

He spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman, l.adies and Gentlemen: The American people, in their great elective tribunal are again called upor to determine their political destiny; to weigh in the scales of honest judg ment the principles incorporated ir the platforms of the various parties, tr listen to all arguments, to consider al evidence and to render a verdict ir harmony with the evidence. Political conditions in this country have decidedly changed within the past twelve years. I’rim* tn that tlin ttvn rliiminunt »-*«a »«_ ties were arrayed against each other upon issues of contention which were a generation old, clear, comprehensive and comprehensible; and however acrimonious tire debate,—however, for the purposes of discussion, dire the propirecies of disaster in case one party or the other should succeed,—the American people knew and felt in stinctively that whichever party pre vailed, the great securities of govern ment would continue to operate with out obstruction. Such is not the situation today. Democracy is not what it once was Tire old ship of Jefferson and Jackson has been captured by political ad \enturers who have turned its guns on the bulwarks of our national existence, and we are now called upon to defend these strongholds against destruction. Why, my friends, the Democratic party has lost its identity. The old oracles and guides of the parly have been thrust aside and it is at last oc cupied and demoniacally possessed by a new spirit, the spirit of envy and class prejudice, disregard for federal authority, antagonism of the judiciary, and encouragement of everything cal culated to undermine the incompara ble administration of one of the three greatest Americans this country has ever produced—Theodore Roosevelt. This strange un-American revolu tionary spirit first possessed the Democratic party in 1R96, when, in re sponse to a sophomoric oration the climax of which, "You shall not crucify humanity upon a cross of gold," was plagiarised, “The boy orator of the I,a Platte" was nominat ed to the presidency upon a platform of the free and unlimited coinage of silyer, repudiation of national obliga tions. the proposed revolution of the judiciary and outspoken defiance of federal authority. I was not a devotee of Grover Cleve land, my fellow citizens, hut if there was any one act in his administra tion that will remain star bright in our history it was, when the pulse of busi ness beat low, when commercial inter course was ruined by rioters and when our national mails were im periled, he evoked the strong arm of federal authority to restore law and order, arrest the destruction of prop erty and rebuke the murderous spirit of Anarchy! Rut that act of Grover Cleveland, the only President Democracy has elected since the Civil War, was covertly de nounced in the Democratic piatform of 1S96 and when, at the recent con vention it was proposed by the Hon Alton B. Parker to introduce a reso lution commending the action of Mr. Cleveland in putting down mob rule, that resolution was ruthlessly thrust aside by order of Candidate Bryan. Then again if there is anything in this country or in any nation upon which the stability of government de pends, the very keystone of the sub lime arch upon which the rugged em pire stands, the ultimate principle ol absolutism that must exist somewhere in all governments, it is the courts of our land, where men sequestered from political eoncerns and political ambi tions holding tlie scales of justice be tween contending passions and con tending rights, decide for their fellow citizens the law. For more than one hundred years the Supreme Court of the United Stakes has sat in that ex alted position midway in the capital of the nation between the Senate and the House ol' Representatives, a typi cal object lesson of its power and of its sublime capacity of restraining either, and has done more to conduct this government to the high plane which it occupies than till other forces combined. Rut in 1SHP the Democratic convention did not hesitate to strike at that court—to strike at all courts— to announce its malign principle of the reorganization of our courts, as vehi cles for the fitful, passionate, misguid ed and revolutionary edicts of unbal anced and dangerous men; and in akin to the serpentine spirit which hissed in the Rryanized nest of '!>6. we discover this satne hostility to the Courts, this same unabated determina tion to undermine the stability of the courts, this same disregard for the protection of person and property, and this same stealthy invasion of the judicial prerogatives. My fellow citizens at the close of that remarkable campaign which re sulted in the election of William Mc Kinley, we thought we had killed this seditious serpent in tilt* sea of Ameri can politics, the serjoent that coiled in the popocratic platform of ISilt!. “To kill twice dead that horrid snake And off Ins scaly skin to take And through his head to drive a stake, And every bone within him break. And of his flesh mince meat to make; To burn to sear to boil to bake Then in a heap the whole to rake. And over it the besom shake. And sink it fathoms in the lake. Whence after all, quite wide-awake Comes back once more that same old snake.” iku in mt-ciiii uy min jmiipo.siinmi in i a jury trial in cases of contempt? Let Mr. Taft speak for himself, “A recal citrant witness who refuses to obey a subpoena may insist on a jury trial before the (Vmrt can determine that he receive the subpoena. A citizen summoned as a juror and refusing to obey the writ, when brought into Court must be tried by another jury to determine whether he received the summons. Such a provision ap plies not only to injunctions, but to every order which the Court issues against persons. I say without hesi tation that such a change will greatly impair tiie authority of the Courts and if their authority is to ho weakened in a manner never known in the history of the jurisprudence of the English speaking world, except in the Constitu tion of Oklahoma, how can we expect that such a proposition can work to the g> od of anyone- Those who advocated this intervention of the jury in such eases scented to suppose that this change in some way would enure only to tiie benefit of the working men. while as a matter of fact, the person who wilt se-ure chief advantage from it is the wealthy and unscrupulous defendant, who is always able to em ploy astute and learned counsel and anxious to avoid justice.” Hut my friends, notwithstanding the rebuke administered this assault upon the Courts in 1P36, notwithstanding the failure of every prophecy Mr. Bryan made in tsiifi, and notwithstanding the unprecedi nted progress we have made along.ail lines of national growth and prosperity—Candidate Bryan comes once more into tlie* national arena pre senting not only his former heresies, changed in name but not in nature, but certain other eccentric political foibles wrought out in iiis fevered-im agination, and we are called upon to turn aside from the glorious ora Inau gurated by William McKinley and en larged and advanced by Theodore Roosevelt, and to accept his weird doc trines and wild prophecies instead of tin* basaltic rook of political sanity and safety upon which the nation now slands.

Berthe Clache was tried for ttie shooting of Etnile Gendron in New York City on Juno 6. 1906. She was con victed and sentenced to serve an Inde terminate term in the woman's prison in this city, of not less than two years and two months and not more than live years. A great deal of sympathy was man ifested for the young French woman at the time of her trial, although the evi dence showed the murder to have been a deliberate one. Her story that Gen dron had forced her to go upon the street and barter her womanhood to support him, secured for her a large amount of consideration. Since she lias been in prison, slie has been a model prisoner. Where she will go when she Is released the prison officials refuse to reveal but they say it will not bo New York as the girl has expressed a desire to live among totally different sur roundings than those of her old life A good home has been found for her with reputable people who will seek to give her every possible advantage for moulding her life along new lines.

Before a large crowd of Labor day en thusiasts the fast Cobbossee Inn aggrega tion defeated the strong Winthrop team 3 to 0 on Quint by Held in the afternoon, making partial reparation for their three former defeats at the hands of that nine. The afternoon was an ideal one for base ball and the boys played the fastest game of their lives. The game was replete with sensational plays and fast base i uniting. The Winthrop team has the credit of de feating the Cobbossee Inn team for a $25 purse earlier in the season, but they were not in the same class with “Jerry” Bur gess' “champs” Monday afternoon. But 30 men faced Williams, the Cobbos see Inn pitcher, and only two of these reached third base. Gardiner was more successful in getting Its men across the plate. Thro double plays shut off pros pective runs for both teams. The first double play was made by Cob bossee Inn in the second inning after a fine catch by Chase at third, who threw a man out at first. The second was made in tile fourth inning by Winthrop when Maxim threw Williams out at second and K. Fuller was caught at first. The last was made in tlie sixtli when Osborne caught a Hy off Munro and threw Perry out at first. Williams pltehed his usual strong game, striking out eight men and allow ing but six-hits. Maxim struck out three men and allowed only three hils. Both pitchers fielded their position exception ally well. For the visitors Osborne made a fine eateh of a fly"in the second inning off K. Fuller. Both of Winthrop’s douhlt plays were very fast. For Cobbossee Inn Mon ro put up a -fine game at first, accepting 13 chances; several of them being difficult ones. K. Fuller also caught well. R. Ful ler made the best play of tile game in the nintti inning when lie threw Wood o.ut at .the Plate oiv.Ma-xim's long single in rigid Held. Osborne led both teams at bat with two singles, while Penniman made a two bagger. The large crowd of fans at the closing game of the season should insure a fast Trolley League team for Gardiner next year if the other cities are willing to enter into such a league.

The Longfellow quarry is considered the best and will lie the first to be open ed. This quarry is on the premises of Augustus Longfellow on Winthrop street about 10 rods from the residence to tiie southwest. It is a fact, secured from reliable sources, that the quarry is to he opened and that operations will soon com mence. piobably in about a week. It is understood that the Lord sheds on Wa ter street have also been secured and will be remodeled and by winter a crew of cutters will be at work. It is under stood that a call for 100 cutters has been issued. Mr- Brown seemed to think that the quarry is a good one and one of the finest in the State and the business cutlook for the future appears to be a brilliaut one. ADDITIONAL REPUBLICAN MEETINGS.

Notes of the Fair. gome of the best, most persudsive “spielers” or lecturers in the show business at the Fair. On walking up and down the Midway the crowds this week have listened to the eloquence of such eminent talkers as Arthur Maas, “Reddy” Wolffe. Billy Green. Fish Marsh. "Gentleman Joe” Smith and Frank Warded. Probably the best known among these is “Gentleman joe” Smith, whose name in private life is Joseph J. Smith. He is with the Diamond Lew Walker shows, and has been all over the country with bis shows. He has had some exciting ex periences, especially in the South. LAST NIGHT’S RALLY. (Continued from Page Nine.) “was ever criminal law made In this fasnion before?” Then finally, when the question of a i Constitutional amendment giving Coin gress authority to deal with trusts re gut less if state lines, arose, the Repub lican nu infers of the house of Congress tri a man supported that measure while the L> rt.ocrats were well nigh univer sal. tints deflating the proposed Con stitutional amendment, because It re quired a two-thirds majority to pass an Amendatory resolution. How true Democracy was to its platform resolution, how much inter i ested these Democratic law makers were in the rule of the people," is evinced by (lie fact that the opposing Democratic leader to the Amendment read in the House with approval an editorial from the Washington Post, as follows: ‘‘Bv supporting this Con stitutional Amendment, Democrats will have connived at the permanent retire ment of the trust issue, and its with er iwtl from the campaign, and there by rob their party of one of the most powerful engines of war." This leader i then proeei ded to crack the party i whip in this language, "If we pass this Constitutional Amendment, the effect of it will lie to eliminate the I trust question from the campaign; now are we going to do that? I hope I not.” When the roll was called, one lonely Democrat voted with the Republicans, and all the others followed the advice of their door manager and voted to keep tlie* issue for future campaigns. And today it is an issue in the cain paign because the Democratic party failed to make possible the necessary vote to the Constitutional amendment, ami thus give the government absolute supervision of the question.- a proposi tion which Mr. Bryan loudly pro claimed before the public blit which neither lie nor his party has done any thing to accomplish. And so. my fellmv citizens, it re mained for the Republican party which is responsible for the present business prosperity of the country, to grapple with the great corporate prob i lem incident to that prosperity, and when the hour arrived for some man to formulate the expression of the popular conscience and to lead in the movement for real, practical reform, that man was waiting. He arose amidst the shadows of a great national bereavement and with one hand upon the bier of the martyred McKinley and the other upon the Constitution, lie declared his purpose to carry forward to consummation the policy of his predecessor Steadily he moved in tile accomplishment of that purpose and when finally tic* time arrived for 1 him to ileal with the arrogance of capitalistic greed and ttic* usurpations of trust monopoly, he laid down the doctrine that the rich violator of the law should be as amenable to restraint anil punishment as the offender without wealth, and without influence; and he proceeded by recommending legisla tion and directing executive action to crystalize the principle into actual per formance What did he do? Candidate Bryan ill Ills speech of acceptance practical ly denies that lie fljit anything. He asks why ttie Republican party lias grantcii no tariff reform, enacted no anti-trust legislation, passed no regula tion railroad laws and made no pio vision for publicity in campaign con tributions’ Can it he that the peripatetic candi date is s,( fi-norent oC tlie farts, or is it possible that he has attempted to pla\- a roattdrrw p i*.ir ur.i.n the American people, and to deceive them with reference to tlie* clearest, most in controvertible facts of history? Has he forgotten that President Roosevelt secured the passage of the Rate Bill, designed more effectively to restrain excessive and fix reasonable rales, and to punish secret rebates and discriminations which hail heen general in the practice of the railroads and which had done much to enable unlawful trusts to drive out of busi ness their competitors? Has he forgotten the prosecutions brought at the instigation of the Prosident against the most powerful of the law breaking corporations? Has he forgotten the Pure Food T.aw and the Meat Inspection Haw in the interest of the health of the pub lic. and of clean business methods? And in fact, did the Democratic con vention which nominated him at Chicago, last June, forget that upon the recommendation of President Roosevelt, away last February, Con jrress passed a law making It a felony for a corporation to contribute to a campaign fund? And yet, ignoring those facts written ndelibly in our history within the past four years, the Democratic pint form demands that laws covering legislation already enacted shall be drawn and especially that there shall be a law against corporation con tributions to campaign funds. The trouble with Mr. Bryan is. that he carries his headlight in tIre rear, never sees a precipice until he tumbles over it, never sees a hole until be falls into it. never sees a blunder until it is too k\te for him to repair it. never sees a fact until after he has passed it. He is like tile old farmer who in ex plaining his mangled hand to ills physician, said. "You see. I backed up them •ere cattle a leetle, wrapped the chain around the log, slipped the link through and looked around for a toggle, but couldn't just find it, and so I put my Unger in for a minute; but mem 'ere cattle had no sooner started than I seed I had made a blasted mistake.” A little thinking upon the part of Mr. Bryan would save him from a thousand irretrivable mistakes. And now the Republican party enters upon another era of political progress and achievement. Theodore Roosevelt lias set high the standard of business morality and respect for the law, and at a time when we were in a state of confusion, confronted with questions as grave and momentous as were ever thrust upon a patriotic people: and as Lincoln fitted into his providential task and McKinley measured up to the summit of hi Heaven-imposed re sponsibility. so Theodore Roosevelt appeared like John the Baptist, ru le. shaggy, abrupt. impetuous, un equivocal and uncompromising, crying in the wilderness of our political per plexities, “Prepare ye the way of the Lord! Make straight Bio paths. Now is the axe laid to the root of the tree." And as tile result of his intensity and high daring, we are occupying a. plane of commercial and political honesty and square dealing hith-ito unknown. Today we confront another era, namely, the maintenance, development and cystali/.ation into law of that whicii has been initiated by President Roose velt. The chief function of tlie next administration is to complete and per fect the machinery by which the Roosevelt inn standards may be pre served. by which the law breakers may be instantly restrained and punished, hut which shall operate with sufficient accuracy and despatch as to constitute no peril to the legitimate business interests of the country. And tlie question naturally arose months ago, where are we to find such a leader,- a man with compre hensive and frictionless brain, with eye undimmed by selfish ambition with convictions unswayed by fear, with courage to adopt the supreme measures of public good and with a hand strong to grasp the helm of the Ship of State and guide it upon an unsailed sea of commercial probity and prosperity In response to that question, in voluntarily tin* eves of tile nation were turned upon tlie man of destiny, a man already heard from, who had been commissioned by the anxious and alert McKinley in tin1 crucial days following the Spanish American war, to establish stable government in ttie Philippines and who responding to the call reduced chaos to order, up reared the columns of democracy upon tlie ruins of despotism, established the free school system and an unsullied judiciary, all crowned with the glory of western civilization; a man called into the cabinet of President Roose velt and appointed Secretary of war, and who in the execution of his pre progatlves put his hand upon troubled Cuba, quelled the restless and revolu tionary spirit of the people and pre vented the disruption and destruction of that infant republic; who grasped with a firm hand the problem of the Panama Canal and has accomplished what the great French Republic failed to do, a miracle of modern engineer ing, the opening of a new highway into a new era of American com mercial supremacy; and who a little later was entrusted with the re sponsibilities of establishing more amicable relations between this government and Japan, which mission resulted in abolishing the immigration of C'-olie labor into this country and a. more permanent bond of friendship be tween the two nations; a man of ripe scholarship, judicial mind, wide travel, conversant with world wide affairs, rooted and grounded in the arduous greatness of things achieved, and with all, an exhalted patriot and stainless citizen,—a man who in the order of Providence appeared at the right time upon the scene, has been nomi nattd by the Republican party to be the successor of Theodore Roosevelt and to carry the banner of patriotism, righteousness and prosperity to higher levels than have been attained in all our past. William H. Taft of Ohio. Finally the question is. are we to maintain our present prosperity at home and our exalted position among the nations of the earth? Candidate Bryan answers. "No." He stands upon the Anti-Expansion plank of the Democratic platform, and true to his destructive rather than constructive policy, he cries "Bring back the 11 lug, call home those Ameri can institutions which are working for the regeneration of a down trodden peo ple, and let us live as our fathers did, within the limits of our immediate national area, and let us not forget that George Washington advised us to beware of entangling alliances with the Old World. But I cannot, see how anyone who believes in American history can pos sibly oppose tlie principle of expan sion. True, George Washington advised us against "entangling alliances," but that was in. our infancy, at a time when we were limited in numbers and resources, and when Hie experiment of Democracy was trembling in the balance. But since then we have gone stead ily forward. In ISO!!, under the father of Pemocr.icy, Thomas Jefferson, we secured the! Eouisiana Purchase and expanded iHntil we about doubled our size. In Dili, under Madison, we took in Florida, and under Madison and Monroe we acquired Oregon and Washington, the great Northwest ter ritories. Then under that high priest of Democracy. Andrew laokson. we took Texas, a vast empire within it self; in ISIS California and the Pacific coast were taken by Polk; in 18G9 wo picked up Alaska, under Grant. With such a history we ought not to get dyspepsia over the Hawaiian Islands, Porto Rico, the Samoan Is lands or the Philippines. All this line and cry about expansion is till- result of an expansion forced upon us by Providence. one nigtd Spain planted a magazine under the Maine and then we were expanded without being consulted upon the question. “We went up Into t lie air. and came down everywhere— to stay.” Spain expanded us and we disband ed Spain. There were those who said that the Republican administration would not resent the insult of Spain. Indeed it was urged by certain critics that Mr. McKinley was the pliant tool of Wall Street, and that he lacked spinal column. Mr. McKinley, however, remembered the advice of Nestor to the Greek generals, when he coun selled attack upon Troy, "The secret of victory is in getting a good ready.” Tt took us a few months to get started, i Mir navy was weak and our army lacked compact organization. The man in the White House was "getting a good reaily.” Finally when he was ready, he seized the navy with one hand and the army with the other and swing ing them up and around he landed such a blow between -Hie eyes of Spain that Spain saw nothing hut stars, and.—stripes, and the world has since had a larger vision of our (lag, a flag which is no holiday banner hut a solemn signal, the symbol of national power and authority. That victory over Spain In the inter ests of humanity marked a new era in our national history. Prior to that we had been a national hermit, living within ourselves and for ourselves. George Washington had placed that little Anti-Expansion hili upon us, that is. his monition fitted us like a bib. He said, “Keep in the middle of the lot or the boys on the other side of the lot will throw' mud on your bib So we bugged the corner of our lot and kept in tbrt middle of our lot a.nd stuck to our bib until we outgrew the lot. In the meantime, as we grew larger our bib looked like a cotton natch nn the front of our bine uniform We grew from three millions scattered along a. part of the Atlantic roast to seventy-five millions filling the conti nent from sea to sea. Then our bib was too small for 11s and yet we held on to it; we staid In our western Atlantic waters perfectly rontent, never wanting to go any where else; we expected to stay there forever, but when the Maine went up our bib flew off and we were enlarged by order of Providence—for the in evitable sequence of that explosion are parts of the explosion itself.

The streets of London are lighted with gas from Alabama coal, so that we are actually “carrying coals to Newcastle^ The financial center of tne world has been transferred from London to New York and the political center from Windsir Castle to the White House; and today we have a voice in the solu tion i f national problems and in the adjustment of spheres of international influence and control. So you see we are expanded and it is too la'o to fight against it. The na tions of the Earth are all strung on on telegraph wire; the antipodes of tiie Eartli are only the opposite sides of a narrow street.

NEW YUKis STOCK MARKET. Feature* of the Day’s Dealings In Al The Leading Stocks. New York, Sept. S.—Undisturbed ease ir tlie money market ami aggressive strength in the Harriman stocks were the sustaining inlluences in today's stock market. The influence was moderate in Its effect, an overwhelming proportion of the day’s business being in the HaVri nians ttiemsclves or in stocks in some way affiliated with that name. United States Steel was the only addition of first class importance to that list. Dealings elsewhere were dull and the price move ment narrow. The Harriman stocks fail ed to exert any pronounced sympathetic effect even in tlie groups in which .simi larity of conditions would place them. In the transcontinental group there was an early advance in the Hill stocks, lmt even this was ascribed to the assurances offered bv Mr. JIarriman in the inter views reported with him that mutually helpful intentions now ruled between the two controlling railroad powers thus rep resented. Atchison and St. Paul, usually In close sympathy with the group, were comparatively neglected. In the trunk line group the same peculiarity was man liest. The rise in Krie and Baltimore Ohio was frankly attributed to the Harriman dominance in those properties and other stocks in tlie trunk line were dull. The coalers were equally Indifferent, the ac tivity In Reading being at some expense to Its price. Pennsylvania and New York Central scarcely moved. Illinois Central was strong without the usual response in other Southern tiunk line stocks. Atlan tic Coast I.Inf was in fact sharply dc- J pressed. Louisville Nashville moved narrowly and there were only a few iso lated transactions in Norfolk Western and Southern Railway. The immediate news development affecting the Hard mans was the confident and cheerful tone voiced bv the head* of the system in pub lis outgivings on his wav home from his vacation. Material developments affect ing values of securities were lacking after the lapse of three days since the preced ing dealings of the Stock exchange T.on don buying of stocks was said to play a part in the strength of some of the low priced railroad stocks.

Remarks: The past we**k has been a quiet one in the local wool market. liven ih“ houses that did a pood business* hist week fail to note a continuance of that buying, and it looks now as though the usual fall stocking up by manufacturers that generally comes during September will this year he much later than former ly: in fact, it would not surprise many if consumers did not come in at all, l.ut contented themselves with buying wool as they needed it. The goods market has not improved as it was expected to just after the openings of the men’s wear t light-weight fabrics in July, when it was though*, that clothiers could not help but respond to what was considered a very attractive level of prices.

There was little change in prices but the demand in most lines was more adtive. Beef cattle were in •airly good supply, but most were cows of not better than average quali ty. The receipts of choice steers and oxen were very light. Such would have brought 5i/2 to 6c. Good cattle are quoted at 4 Vi to 5c„ the best cows 3M> to 4Vic., ordinary cows 2% to 3>/2c., and bolognas and canners down to 1 Vic. cal calves were in .excellent de mand. particularly the choicest calves, oi which only a few were received. The market averaged from 6 Vi to 7c., with some extra choice up to ”se., and more them and poor calves down to 5 Vic. Hogs were unchanged from last week, at 7 to 7He. for live weight and 8V4 to 8%c. dressed. Receipts were heavy but the demand held strong, and buyers bid actively for the arrivals. The quality averaged excellent. Sheep and lambs were in moderate supply. The market was dull and weak. Prices are lower in Buffalo than here. Sheep 2 to 4c., lambs 3 to 5c.

Sales of milch cows continue slow at the Brighton yards, and the mar ket is dull. With receipts nearly as heavy its in the preceding week, and far in access of the demand, dealers found dilliculty in disposing of .all grades of cows, excepting the choice cows, and lor all other grades values do not compare favorably with those of last year at this season. Although the market is depressed, farmers are forced to reduce"their stock in consid eration of the scarcity of feed. There was a fair amount of high grade milkers selling up to $80, and a good assortment id' cows selling at $10 (fi$rin, but there was also it large amount of cheap cows selling down to the lowest figures, hardly paying for transportation, such cows being a heavy drag tin good trading.

M t 1'p in I’iseatauiiis county one night last week ;i I icmocrutie speaker at i tempted to tell liis audience that a re vision of the tariff would in no wise a 'feet the industries nf that section {and that the people should not allow j themselves to he fooled by "tariff j bluff." No wonder sta ll talk was an j insult 1 i tin* intelligence of ttie people -j who had gathered to hear him and it His not strange that a man in the au dienee arose and reminded him in somewhat foreeful fashion that the mills of Piscataquis, its slate quarries and its lumlier int0 per cent, better than it was even two weeks ago. As it nears election day a good many Republicans who have thought of supporting Gardner for Governor are changing their minds and will remain in the Republican party and vote for Fernald. The chief reason for this is because of the slander and abuse heaped upon lead ers of the Republican party by the Waterville Sentinel, and its vicious as saults upon our Prohibitory laws The people of Maine have no faith in the Democratic party, and Maine will stand by the great progressive and con structive party of Lincoln and Sumner and Iilaine and Roosevelt and Taft, and they will roll up a good majority for Fernald on election day." Governor Hughes on Bryan. In vif escape from tile meshes of ill considered legislation in width we should have* been en tangled. It is fortunate for him as well ns for us that he was defeateel. and whatever may be his present poli tical potentiality can he* ascribed to tlu* fact that hitherto he has not been permitted to carry out his program Holding an influential leadership because of what he has been pre vented from doing! That is a neivel way of putting it, but true. That characterization eif monument and guide post is likely to stick. The speech drives home* the truth that Mr. Bryan is a dreamer and theorist and an unsafe man to whom to tiust the destinies of the nation. His method is to evolve solutions and remedies for public wrongs from his inner consciousness and to urge* them with supreme confidence in tlv-ir ef ficacy. When we consider his trust remedie*s “we find ourselves journey ing in a land of dreams.” The Gov ernor tears these to pieces and shows that they are as much a delusion as lii to 1. He shows how impracticable it w»*uld be to app'y the policy of li censing corporations and forbidding any to control more than r>0 per rent, of tile* product consumed in the T'nite'd State's, and he shows the* Jesuit of such a policy. "What a vision of business uncertainty and confusion: of idle* arul impaired plants; of the ruin of workmen whose lives have elustereel round particular industries, and who depend on their continued effi ciency, is presented by this fanciful remedy for the destruction of trusts:’’ Iluin am] destruction; tliat is the word. It is the Samsonian policy of pulling down the temple upon one’s head. _ The Kennebec County Figures. In the hope of making out a good ease for the Democratic sheriff and the Democratic county attorney, who are candidates for re-election, the Democratic leaders and speakers in this county are using figures regard ing the fines and costs received by the county treasury from the enforcement of the liquor law. Under the caption of A Good Record” some figures bearing upon this matter have been published in the Democratic papers of the county. Now. the Journal is glad to give below tile true record in this matter. The Democratic statements, spoken and published, tell only a small part of the truth, and oftentimes, in a political campaign as elsewhere, a half truth is tile most misleading kind nf a falsehood. If comparisons tire to tot* made along the lines suggested tov mu* IVmocratie friends, let them toft full and fair comparisons; let them cover a period of years and let the figures toe the ollicial figures from the hooks of flic county. Such figures are published below and the Journal gladly publishes them and lets tle in speak for themselves. We urge that they toe given a careful study by the people of Kennebec county.

The Big Issues Are Involved. (Rockland Courier-Gazette.) Don't be fooled into voting for Mr. .Miflillii'ddy upon State issues. Mr. Mc iillietiddv it elected would go to Congress where State issues would never be heard from. Tit's is another reason that makes Maine’s election this month us much of a national as a .State event. We want to represent us in Congress a man like John I’. Kwasey, sound in Republican doctrine and safe to trust with the matter of tai iff revision. The Tariff and Maine. (Aroostook Republican.) Certain Democratic speakers now on the stump in Maine, in discussing ta.'ilt matters, are asserting with more or less vehemence that not withstanding tlie duties on sheep and wool that tile sheep and Wool indus try in Maine lias steadily decreased during the last decade, and beoaust "I his alleged decrease are arguing that such duties are of no value to (lie tanners of Maine. Whatever may be tile fact in other sections of tin* Slate, it is undoubtedly true that tile Wool and siiei p business in Aroos took has largely decreased since the advent of tin* Kangor Ac Aroostook railroad into this county. Rut why? Is it because of the tariff" What is tile reason? The explanation is sirn ph As conditions are today, prac tically nearly every farmer in Aroos took is in touch with the railroad, it has been discovered that Aroos took is peculiarly adapted to raising potatoes. Millions of bushels are produced annually. As a rule prices are good and profits fair and many times tire large. Farmers have dis covered by actual experience that there is vastly more money, larger money and quicker money in raising potatoes titan in raising sheep. Farms that are worth from $500 to $25,000 each for potato raising are altogeth er too valuable to be devoted to “heep. When men pay. ns is not in frequent. a rental of $15 or $20 an acre for the use of the land one sea son, they cannot afford to turn that land into a sheep pasture when that same land will produce from 00 to 125 barrels of merchantable potatoes per acre. This is the real reason why the sheep raising in Aroostook has decreased. And if there is a decrease in other sections of the State, un doubtedly an investigation would show the real cause to he as simple and plain and ns easily understood ns in Aroostook. It might he argued along the same lines that the Demo cratic campaigners are adopting in regard to sheep that although there is a duty of 25 cents a bushel on ap ples yet Aroostook is not producing many apples. Aroostook does not produce many apples. As a whole it is not a good apple country. It is too far north, its winters are too long anil too severe, anil the great bulk of the land is not adapted to apple farming. Hut undoubtedly the duty on apples does help the few who do raise apples for the market. lit like manner the duty on sheep and wool helps those who have land which they can afford to devote to sheep. 1 tut when these Democratic spell binders strike Aroostook, just let them tell the farmers that the duty of 2a cents a bushel on potatoes, $4 a ton on hay, and la cents a bushel on oats is of no value to the men who till the farms and see what response they will get. We venture to say that the Democratic spell-binding gentlemen will skip potaoes, hay and eats when discussing tariff in Aroostook. s Strange Bed Fellows. (Portland Advertiser.) Politics makes strange bed fellows. In 1*K)6, Obadiah Gardner, then the Master of the Maine State Grange, in tin- course of tin- speech in which he declared that he was "entirely and unreservedly in favor of the prohib itory law of Main*-” likewise took occasion to say: honor tin- man or men elected to oliice to enlorce the laws that do their fuil duty, and I have no use for those that take the oath of office and then become law breakers themselves. I di pounce such action as vicious in its effect, teach ing disregard of all laws, lowering the standard of public morals and leading along the pathway of anar chy. It makes no difference what I may think is the better way to regu late the liquor traffic; that is of no consequence only as a matter of opinion; but whether it applies to high or low. prince or peasant, .en force the law." In lfuil. two years before Mr. Card in r went on record as unreservedly in favor of the Maine prohibitory law and as demanding its enforce ment within fear or favor, William M. Pennell then in his jirst term as sheriff of Cumberland county in a speech at Ktandish, while defending his course in arbitrarily deciding who might violate the liquor law under the protection of the sheriff's office, declared that he was utterly opposed to the prohibitory law, which, he said, was conceived In iniquity. Tonight Sheriff Pennell and Can didate Gardner are to. speak from the same platform. Verily, politics makes strange bed fellows—Sheriff Pennell who “permitted'' the sale of liquor in violation of the law and Brother Gardner who wants it enforced whether it applies to high or low. prince or peasant. We shall await with interest the complimentary al lusions of the sheriff to tile candidate mil the candidate’s complimentary endorsement of the sheriff. Inci dentally, we should be glad to hear rrotn Mr. Gardner whither lie still entirely and unreservedly favors the prohibitory law of Maine. A Call to Knox County. (Rockland Courier-Gazette.) The great Republican victory in Vermont sends cheer all along the line. Democrats had hoped to cut down the normal, plurality. Anything below 22.000, they declared, would be counted as a Democratic victory. Mow far they failed is shown in the 30,000 puralitv by which Republicans carry the state. It doesn't look like a Hryan year. Vermont's splendid example ought to inspire Maine to do likewise. Ret IIS not lag in this Republican year of Taft. We are voting for l'ernald this month, it is true, but every vote that adds to Kertiald's majority in creases the certainty of a national victory in November, l.et each of us help this forward in our own neigh borhood. Ret Knox county Repub licans resolve to do everything in their power to add to the certain Repub lican triumph on Sept. 14. Maine and the Tariff. (Portland Kxpress.) A tariff schedule is a formidable looking piece of machinery. Tile aver age citizen w hen he takes up a copy of the Dingh y Tariff Raw and glances through its pages, lays it down again with a sigh and wonders what it is all about, and why such dry as dust look ing printed pages should lie1 cutting any ligure at all with the thinking m>‘n, or supposedly thinking men, who arc running the political campaigns in a great country like ours. It must be, however, that tluiv is something in a tariff schedule that does not appear on the surface, that is not evident to the gaze of the average individual. Dis cussion of the tariff, from the stump, and in the newspapers is apt to be of an academic chitincter, not readily un d by those who are not adepts on t ie subject. It ought to be possible to get an idea of what the tariff is, and what its revision means that will be intelligible to the individual who has something else to do for 264 days of the year than to study topics w hit h are so little inviting at lirst glance. We think perhaps the readers may be brought to see that the ipiestion raised concerning tariff revision is of vital importance to the every day life of the people of Maine, and that behind the dry looking schedules there is matter for serious consideration for the voters of our own State. To go back for a moment to first principles, it is essential that a Gov ern nu at like ours have ample revenue for Hie conduct of the great operations which it constantly has in hand. Two methods ot raising this revenue are already familiar to the American public. The first of these is by direct taxation. The other is by mcarip of a tariff on imported goods. The Ameri can policy lias long been to raise the rteCKIVKI) A the producer, and tile inwho finds his daily employment upon manufactures of lumber? It i means that the foreign competitor before he can come into our markets, with his smaller cost lor labor must pay one dollar and fifty cents per thousand on his clapboards, for ex ample. and thirty cents per thousand upon each thousand of shingles which he would sell in this mark't. The Amiriean manufacturer can pay a higher price for his raw material, can pay more for ltis labor, and still be on a par with the foreigner who would invade our maikets. To the man on- j gaged in any part of the business of I producing and preparing lumber these I schedules mean hotter pay and larger I profit. Y"1 il would be one of the first I things whion the Democrats would at tack, if tin y wire to he put into power and given opportunity to revise exist ing schedules. I.et us look at some others. The benefit docs not all accrue to the mat: i ngageil in the lumber industry. "attic if less than one year old two dollars head; all other cattle if! valued at more than fourteen dollars per head. .Vi 7." per head; if valued at more than $14 per head. 27I5 per cent. ad valorem. Swine, $1.art per head. Horses valiit d at Mart or less per head, $.'M per head; if valued at over $1art, 2a per eent. .‘id valorem. Slue)), one year old or over. 51.art per head, less than one year old 75 ci nts id r la ad- j Now. lie who raises live animals for ale, cattle, swine, horses or sheep for tile market, is protected from the competition of our Canadian neighbors to th) exp nt shown in these schedules. Ta t ns look further to the benefit of the farmer under the schedules of the existing law: Corn, 15 cents Jfr bushel of 5G pounds. t ints. 15 rents per bushel. Win at. 25 cents per bushel. Tiutler, six cents per pound. Cheese, six ei nts per pound. Fresh milk, two cents per gallon. Hians, 45 cents per bushel of firt pounds. Cahbni.ee. three cents each, tiggs. liv ie nts per dozen Hay, four dollars per tun. inions. cents per bushel. Potatoes, 25 cents per bushel of fil pounds. Starch including all preparations from whatevi r substance produced lit for use as start h one and a lialf cents for pound. Tliest are only a few of the items from the relitdoles of the Dingley law who h luce a beneficial effect upon the producer and his employees and does I not touch upon Ihe schedules affecting^ the manufacturers.

But when these Democrat tic spell* binders strike Aroostook, just let them tell the farmers that the duty of 25 cents a bushel on potatoes, $1 a ton on hay, and 15 cents a bushel on oats is of no value to the men who till tbe farms and see what response they will get. We venture to say that these Democratic spell-binding gentlemen w ill skip potatoes, hay and oats when discussing ttu iff la Aroostook.

A Bloisdcll, LAST NIGHT’S REPUBLICAN RALLY AT THE OPERA HOUSE. uvu u win x agu v/nt./ boarded a steamer and just as it pushed away from the landing his uncle came 1 unning down to the wharf. The Swede on board wanted his untie to Join him and he shouted, "Vump, un tie yuinp; Vump! If you can't make it in one yunip, you can make it in two. Vump!” And the uncle yumped, and they fished him out of the water with a boat hook. My fellow' citizens, any man, who, in the face, of the last twelve years of American progress and prosperity so licits my vote tor Kryan, asks me to have the solid rock of absolute cer tainty and to take my chances on be ing fished out of the water with a boat hook. But we are told that this campaign is a broad one, broader than any of the particular issues of which it is consti tuted; so broad that it has tor its ulti mate purpose, “Tile rule of the people.” My fellow citizens, there is the ring of the demagogue in that; “The rule of the people.” What people? The rule of the people in the South where in most states, under Democratic rule 30 per cent, of Die whites and SO per cent, of the blacks are disfranchised. Is that the rule of the people? I am reminded of the colored boy who ran among some soldiers during the Civil War shouting, "Hot pies; hot pies A soldier boy bought on», dis eovered that, it was frozen, then turn ing to the vendor of pies he said. "See here, you black rascal, you said this was a hot pie.” “Lor' bless you,'' re plied the colored boy, 'dat is only de name ob it.” And so, "The rule of tlie people” so-called, under Democratic control is only the name of it. “The people” is a very ambiguous phrase and so tar as I have knowledge ihe rule of the people becomes crystalized in law. and law is administrated by the representatives of the people. This is a representative government and therefore the people must rule through their representatives, and just now they rule through the Repub lican party. If the Republican party is not tlie party of the people, what does it repiesent? It was born as the cham pion of iln‘ people, and It lias'steadily advanced through its adherence to that principle. In 1304 it was continued in power by an unprecedented popular and electoral vote and today under the leadership of President Roosevelt tlit interests of the people are being guard ed and protected and the Republican party, as when Abraham Lincoln ut tered tlie immortal truth stands for, "A government of the people, for the peo ple and by the people." We are gently inform al, however, at this point that Thomas Jefferson was the father of this “People's" idea; that, in fact, he wrote for his political maxim, “Equal rights for all, and special privileges for none.” Whether that epigram can be verified or not, it is founded in justice and represents tlie attitude of the Re publican party today. Our opponents use it. however, a,s an expression from Jefferson against the policy of Repub lican protection, for they insist that all tariff laws, except for revenue only, arc in the nature of "class legislation.” My friends, have you ever studied the his tory of tariff legislation in this coun try? If so, you have discovered that the ebb and (low of American prosperity lias been largely determined by tlie al titude of the country towards its tariffs. Rightly to solve this problem, then, it is important I hat we should familiar ize ourselves with the history of tariff legislation. This is an educational cam paign, and just as it was necessary for I lie Republican party to become the school master of tlie people in and educate them out of tlie peril of the tree silver heresy, so this same great Republican teacher, renowned for in telligence, patriotism and ability to In struct all who are willing to he taught, comes once more into the licit! to edu cate tlie people along the lines of po litical st ienee, duties, tariffs, trusts, courts and all the great questions which are now appealing for adjudica tion. II in v r.'.-wu UICI' 1WH, I'M think. Some men have a superb fncui ty of spech, and are most deft and agile in substituting talk for thought. In deed Air. Bryan is second to none in this rt spent. Mis capacity for continu ous speech reminds me of the unfortu nate man whose wife was in th habit of talking him to sleep every nigtit, and most ot her talk was made up of crit icism. fau’l-finding and grumbling; and it was on one occasion when after en during her merciless volley for tiireee hours, he fell asleep and when upon awakening, three hours later, he again heard that precious voice, turning over he asked. "Alary, are you talking yet or again?" I fear Air. Bryan is talking yet. Now, let us think about this tariff question a little, and in order to help our thinking, let us consult history. fnder the protective tariff leg islation of 1828 a period of un precedented prosperity came to the country. In the Congressional mes sage of President Jackson, submitted in |s2?. speaking of that prosperity he said, “Our country presents on all sides marked prosperity and happiness im equalled in any other portion of the world." The people, however, were not willing to let good enough alone; and in IN.":! by special legislation the tariffs were reduced. Within five years from the pasage of this law public revenues had dropped 25 per cent, and the Govern ment was a borrower of money; and then there came to the country the worst panic experienced in the history of the country, viz. the panic of 1837. which continued until the passage of the protective tarilf of 1S42, follow ing the victory of the Whig party. If you would like a graphic picture of that free trade panic of 1837, turn to Colton’s "Bite of Henry Clay," where you will find it. Listen! "In Ohio there was not enough money to pay taxes. Hogs were sold at six cents each, hor ses at $:’-.00 and cows at $1.00. In Pike County. Missouri, the Hannibal Journal stated that the sheriff sold three horses at $150 each, one large ox at twelve cents, five cows, two steers aiul one calf, the entire lot at $3.25." The protective law passed by the Whigs in 1842, continued for four years and I can furnish no better evi dence of its beneficent effect than to quote from the message of President P>lk. "Labor in all its branches is re ceiving ample reward, while education, science and the arts are rapidly en larging the means of social happiness: the progress of our country in wealth an 1 happiness is without an example in the history of nations.” t The people, however, were unable to bear continued prosperity; for the Democratic party was successful in 1844 in electing- a President upon an equivocal platform in relation to the tariff question, and so upon the first session of the Democratic Congress the Walker bill was passed, which ma terially reduced the existing tariff. Daniel Webster spoke against that bill for three days. In his speech he said, "Where there is work lor the hands of men there will be work for their teeth; where there is employ ment there will be bread. Constant employment and well paid labor pro duce in a country like ours, prosperity, contentment and cheerfulness.” Put notwithstanding the stalwart stand of Webster and the opposition of Senators Niles of Connecticut nnd Haywood of North Carolina, the bill was finally passed. At that time the Mexican War. the discovery of gold in California and the Crimean War delayed ruin hunger than usual after such tariff reduction; but a little later the crash came. The industries of the country were paralyzed, and multitudes of toilers were in a state of starvation. Their condition is graphically expressed m an address by the unemployed, which was made to the mayor of New York city, January 6, 1855. Listen to their cry: “We do not come as beggars,, but we ask what we deem right. We- ask not alms but work. We do not 'want a iittle soup now and cast-off cloth ing tomorrow; our condition is most piteous; we want bread, we want clothes and in order to have tliesle, we must have work.” Then came the great Civil War,, and later, under Republican administra tion. came the enacting of higher pro tective laws, and from those days of darkness through the period of recon struction and on up to 1S!IL\ when the Democratic party came into complete control of Congress, the condition of tiie people was gradually improv itig, not continuously, for there are ecalies and retrocessions in every stream;, hut you remember that in President Harri son’s last message to Congress, aft the close of his adminstration in he spoke of “the unprecedented prosper ity of the country,” declaring that more men were at that time employed at hotter wages and that more of the products of the factory and farms found a ready market, than over be fore in the history of this country. There was no talk about over pro duction at that time; nor were we ob liged to hock our bonds in the mar kets of tlie world: nor was our coun try scourged with industrial armi.es sweeping like hoards of devouring locusts across the land; but tiie peo ple were not satisfied. In the presidential campaign of ’tS!i2, the Democratic orator said. “Vote for Mr. Cleveland, and your condition will be improved." They said to the farmer, “vote for him. and there will he no more ‘dollar wheat,’ and the prophecy came true. Dunns: Air. C leveland s terse ad ministration, the Senate remained Re publican, and no legislation, though earnestly urged l.y Mr. Cleveland was enacted. Tile House, being Demo cratic. passed the Mills bill, but the Senate refused to concur, and there fore saved the country from disaster such as always has followed the en actment of a tariff law for revenue only. Hut no sooner did Democracy secure control of Congress than they put into operation the Wilson-tJorman bill and what was the result of that law, which by the way was earnestly and enthusiastically advocated by Mr. ftryan? Free wool drove four million sheep to the slaughter house in tw* Ive months; and this, coupled with the closing of the factories, forced the price of live stock so low that the price of horses, cattle, sheep and pigs fell off on the average over live dol lars per head in four years; three mil lion mi-n forced out of employment re duced the average of wheat from about six bushels per i.apita in 1892, to less than three and a half bushels in 1894. You all remember the conditions ex isting at that time. Why, there was not a day hut what some bank hung out the sign at the window, "Closed." not a day but what some forge was silenced, or the fires in some furnace were extinguished, or some railroad went into the hands of a receiver, or some sails of some ship were furled in our harbors, or the mortgage on some little farm was foreclosed, or some maimed and dis abled pensioner, wearing the inky cloak of despair, with bowed head and fail ing sight and faltering step was di rected to the alms house or to the county inhrmary. That was the existing condition when Candidate Hryan came along with liis? special patent right pre scription of free silver at the legal ratio of sixteen to one. Perhaps you have forgotten that. Does anyone in this presence remem ber ovr having heard anything about 16 to 1? Why! my friends in 1896 we heard nothing else. The air was saturated with it, and it was the only living is sue of the day. It stalked through every street and shouted on every corner and obtruded upon every con vention; even upon the sanctuary. I remember hearing of a funeral service which occurred out in Ne braska during that period. The casket was there and the mourners were there and the neighbors and friends wen there, and away back in the rear of the church sat a long. lean, lank, bo whiskered, wild-eyed individual, who bad inst dropped in from the street, and who seemed decidedly out of place. Finally the minister arose and said. "You till know that I have just been appointed to the pastorate of this church, and indeed this is my first service. I was not acquainted with the deceased, and therefore I am unable to speak intelligently with reference to him; hut doubtless there are some friends here who knew him we’d, who would bo very glad to arise and pay tribute to his well known vir tues. I now give opportunity to any such to arise and speak." Then there was a deep silence, and it seemed that no one had anything to sav, when suddenlv this tall, itngainlv intruder in the back part of the house aiose, and leaning forward and strik ing his long arm toward the minister said: “Parson. I'se a stranger in these parts. It was not my privilege to be acquainted with this ’ere corpse dur ing his life, doubtless some of his friends are preparing to speak of his goodness, but while they are cogitatin' on what they propose to sajv I jist thought I would arise and call your attention to the crime of 1873 and give you a little talk on free silver.” This is a fair illustration of the prevalence of that heresy at that time, an 1 Mr. Bryan as the representative heretic of that school, insisted that a parallel existed between wheat and silver, that when one n\s,s e the other followed, and when one fell the other fell, and that the explanation of the low price of wheat was the low price of silver, and that wheat never would advance on the market until free sil ver was adopted and the farmers were relieved of the incubus of that terri ble crime of 1873, which by the way, had not been discovered until Mr. Bryan came along. Think of it, a man exposed to the whooping cough in 1873 and giving his lirst whoop in 18%! A crime discovered by the boy orator twenty-throe years after it oc curred. Then in addition to the heresy of free silver, that other old scare crow of Democracy was introduced, viz., Free Trade. Our opponents appealed to the peo ple as consumers and commiserated them. We appealed to the people as producers and congratulated them. Candidate Bryan said, “The things you buy are excessively high,” Mr. McKinley said, “The tilings you sell, both labor and the products of labor are none too high.” The Democrats said, "You deserve a better market in which to buy.” The Republicans said. “You deserve a better market in which to sell.” Mr. McKinley said, “Under the pro tective policy of the Republican party, we ship goods and receive gold; but under the blighting pulley of free trad we ship guild and receive goods.” The line of cleavage was drawn The issue could not be avoided. It was a question involving not only our trade a broad but at home, and also the em ployment and compensation of our ■working men. Mr. Bryan said, “Open more mints and give us more silver.” Mr. Mc Kinley said, “Open more mills and give us more work;” and the people believed in Mr. McKinley and elected him by an overwhelming majority. That was a victory for protection, prosperity and progress and its first effect was the restoration of national confidence, and upon that foundation of restored confidence, strengthened and guaranteed by the protective pol icy of the Republican party we have gone steadily forward, until today we aro tin! greatest commercial nation of the world. Not only do our exports exceed those of any other country but our domestiee commerce is more than twice as large as the aggregate inter national commerce of the round globe. The nations of the Earth sell to each other twelve billion dollars worth of merchandise per annum, one-eighth of which originates in the United States and one-ninth finds, our ports for ultimate consumption. While the people of eighty and more commercial countries sell the one to the other, merchandise worth twelve billion dollars the American people sell among themselves more than twenty-live billions of dollars. These stupendous and incompre hensible figures represent the protcc i I ivo policy of the Republican party, but instead of making us proud and boast ful, they should make us thoughtful and alert in the defence of the policy to which we are indebted for this marvelous development. Turning to the agricultural ques tion. There is no parallel in history to the progress of our people in that department. just made all estimate that tho value of our farm priducts this year will ho eight billion dollars. Think of it! This sum within itsolf is more than half as large as the comhinorl storks and bonds of all the railroads in the United States, and is three times as I ante as the total deposit of all our savings banks. And we have the right to ask the (luestion, what proportion of this progress has been made since the Re publican party came into power, or, in other words, is the Republican party to he credited for this great develop ment Ret us see. Within the period of twelve years, from I Slit! to 1908 the value of farm property advanced from $20.189.non,nnn to $28,077,000,000, a gain of nearly eight billion dollars, al though the number of persons engaged in agriculture increased only tifteen per cent. From 1800 to 1807 there was a marked depression. It was a depression incident to the application of the Wilson bill. During that period, farm products throughout the country sold in many cases below actual cost, and there was a steady depreciation in the value of farm lands. Hut from 180ft the advancement has gone steadily forward, so that the actual gain in the value of farm pro perly since 1896 is equal to an average of $762 for every man. woman and child engaged in the agricultural busi ness. Then think of the amazing increase in the value of farm products. In 1806, $2,166,000,000; in 1008. $8,000,000. ooo, and the Increase in value of farm property; and the number of persons engaged in agricultural pursuits dur ing the same period are just as startl ing. In 1806. value of farm property $18. 082.000.000 number of persons engaged 8,565.000; in 1908. value of farm property $28,077,000,000, while the number of persons engaged has ad vanced to 11,091.000. Now. my friends, and especially, my farmer friends these are facts com piled from the last report of the Secretary of Agriculture, and indeed they are hut a few of the facts related to the development of the agricultural interests of this country, which read like a chapter from the Arabian Nights. The fact is, the farmers are today the most independent class in America. With abundant harvests and unprece dented crops and with a record of the cancellation of eighty per cent, of '.lie farm mortgages during the past 12 years, and with vast deposits in the savings banks, drawing from 8 to 4 per cent, while a dozen years ago, the farmer was paying from 8 to 12 per cent, for borrowed money, I repeat the farmers are now the most prosperous and independent class under the American flag. .at in view of this, what are we to think of the audacity of Candidate Piyan in presuming to call upon the American farmer for subscriptions to b’s camnaign fund? There was no such call in 1896, when as the resuit of Democratic' free trade the farmer was a pauper in the midst of golden harvests; but since then, Mr. Bryan lias become a farmer; at least he has so prospered in the systematic pur suit of his profession as a Presidential Candidate that he lias acquired a large fortune, a part of which he has 'invested in a farm near Lincoln, where he poses before the American people as an agriculturist. But if I remember correctly, there are two classes of working men: One class which actually works, and the other class which works the workers, viz: the industrial jawsmiths, who put in their time creating unrest and dissen tion and who presume to dictate the labor vote of the country. Then there are two kinds of farmers, one class farms the farms and the other farms the farmers, Mr. Bryan has let out the contract of farming the Fair view farm to real farmers, while he himself has under taken the more difficult contract of farming the farmers, at a dollar per head. The farmers, however, cannot be de ceived. They remember the Bryan of ISO!! and his atempt to mislead them in solving the problem of prosperity and notwithstanding he now appears in farmer's clothes and as the self con stituted representative of the farmers' cause, declaring that lie had undergone the experience of political regeneration, and having seen "a great light” has ac tually discovered that Providence was against his theory of sixteen to one, and now prop subject. This committee failed to make its re port until after the election of that y**ar is.ss, win n it then reported as follows: “Vour commit too respectfully report that the number of combinations and trusts formed and forming in this coun try is very large and cflVct a large por tion of the important manufacturing and industrial interests of the country. \Ve do not report any lists of the com bir.ations, for the reason that new on*\s are ?«»nstantly forming and old ones are constantly extending; their relations so as to cover new branches of business and invade new territories.” The com mittee. however, failed to recommend any relief. Fortunately a subsequent and Repub lican Congress had been elected and with it Benjamin Harrison as Ur sident of the United States The first bill introduced in the Senate of that ngress was by John Sherman, and was known as the Anti Trust Bill. K passed both houses and received the signal ore of President Harrison. What is that law? Well, it forbids the doing of anything the eif« et of which is to prevent competition, and It makes the doing of any such act a criminal offence. This act was passed July On March 4, 1ST! the Democratic pat tv again secured control. Their platform declared specifically against trusts and promised additional and effective legis lation. But the party went into powr, remaining in power and retired fr »m power without having doin' anything to imnrovc, enlarge, or strengthen tin* Sherman act Now. my friends. Candidate Bryan was four years in Congress, but he had little to say or advise when he had a chance to test his Anti-Trust theories. And what position did Mr. Wilson take with reference to the Sherman Act? IT* denounced it as a revolunlion ary bill and declared that the only rnr reef thing to do would he to adjust tin* tariff so as to invite foreign competi tion and thus to destroy these trusts, exactly what they propose to do at the pr-s nt time; and by the way, let it be remembered that Mr Wilson was one of that original committee to re port on the trusts hut when the hour arrived foi a lion, he denounced the pending measure, declared it would seriously effect the business prosperity of th country, and what was more, that it. would effect the rights and liberties o»* the people, closing his speech agains; the Sherman act with this question.

LABOR DAY QUIET. Vickery-Gannetts and Eatons Winners In Day’s Ball Games. Labor day in Augusta was passed very quietly and many people went out of t-*\\n to enjoy the holiday. Quite a number went to Lewiston to the State fair, while others went to the seashore. Others still went to Gardi ner in the afternoon to see the races, while still others passed the day at tlie various lakes in the vicinity of the city. About the only thing in the way of sport was furnished by the. ball games which were played on the Reu el Williams field, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, both of which were well attended and fur nished the spectators all that could lie asked for in the way of entertainment. The morning game was between the Vickery-Gannetts and Co. M, and while the publishing house boys won from the soldiers with a score of 5 to 1 it was no walkover and the game was played for all that it was worth. The battery for the Vickery-Gannetts was Parquette and Barney, while Maxim and Sullivan did the honors for the Co. M team. The afternoon game was equally good. The contestants were the Plumb ers and the Eaton shoe factory team, hut while the Plumbers put up a good game it was not one of their days and they went down in defeat to the tune of 4 to 1. The battery for the Eatons was Meader and Bush, and for the Plumbers McCurdy and Sullivan. EATON'S. ho r Greer, ss .4 1 Maddox, cf .3 1 Paquin.

The Mill’s grist was merry and tune ful as ever, and two big Labor day au diences seined to think it well worth the price. “Among all the musical plays of re cent years, none surpasses Tin Red .Mill in the qualities that make direct and successful appeal to the “common people,” who, of course, arc really the In st people, the most important.
