SOUND VIEWS FROM AN UNSoUND
QUARTER

The Newark Daily Advertiser, although deadly
in its hostility to the tariff, told us the other
day that would not inuriously on the business
Of Newark. The Phinfeth Union, a wing paper
published at Plainfeld, in Essex county, a thriving
village, which has g rown up by its manufactures
holds the following sensible language in relation to
measure which we accustomed to see denoun-
ced in the most uhmeasured terms by the wing
prints. Hear ii:
"THE NEW rARHF-This subject still occupies
public attention more than anything else comes
home TO the business and prosperity of all--but
are glad to believe that though not to be compared
to that Of 1912 in its beneficial effects is pretty
fair tariff There is to be no panic, or any univer-
sal prostration OF business as under the compro-
mise act, ten years ago A good part of the manu-
featuring business Of the country will continue as
usual, and we hope with profit, as the new tariff will
discourage competition. We notice large compa-
ny in Newburyport, having just finished their cot
ton mills are about increasing their capital stock to
60 into immediate operation, as they consider the
protection under the tariff sufficient.
"Most of the manufactures of this State, such as
carriages, saddles harness, boots and shoes hats
ready clothing, ingram carpets, &c, &c, are
protected about the under this tariff as under
the last, the average difference the whole of the
articles named being not more than 2 or per cent
Cotton goods generally are protected enough, and
woollens reduced from 40 to 30 per cent Treble
ingram carpetng is reduced from 70 per cent to 30
lron before, protected by duty Of l0S to SO per
cent, and coal 69-both reduced to 30 This is not
enough, but 80 per cent in addition to the heavy
cost of transportation, is good deal.
"This is large country, and Of course with DIFF
ferent sectional interests. The south and west out
number the north and east and they feel that high
protective tariff like that of 1912 is somewhat OBJ
pressve, consequently the new tariff is more ikeiy
to prove permanent than the last one which is a
great advantage"

A POLITICAL pErArcH.-M. Fack, the Duth

the admission OF English ships, by which consider
able advantage would have accrued TO Holland,
long and tedious negotiation ensued IL was dragged
on month after month, without arriving one step
nearer 10 a contamination, the Dutch still holding
out for their own interests. At last Mr.. Canning'a
patience was exhausted. Sir Charles Bagot, our
ambassador at the Hague, was one day attending at

into his hand. Il was very short, and evidently
very urgent; but unfortunately Sir Charles, not
peciing such communication, had not the key Of
the cipher with him An interval OF intense ankle

infinite establishment, he deephered the following

A NOZZLE EXaMpT r

The Saco Democrat gives very interesting sketch
OF Mr.. David Hammons, the democratic candidate
for Congress from that district in Maine. 1t proves
the sterling qualities of the Yankee character and
shows that if man be true to himself in this free
country he can overcome all the expressions of pow
erty, and make himself useful and often distin.
guIshed citizen. 1t further shows that the demo-
Gratis of Maine, in selecting such an individual, do
themselves as much honor as they confer on him
"Mr. Hammons is about 80 years Of age; was
born IN Cornish, In this county, of respectable pa
rentage In early life he was distinguished for in
telligence, gentleness, kindness, and manly indie
pendence. In 1896, being then a minor he left his
psterna roof, came TO this place. obtained situa-
ton as an outdoor hand, at 60 cents per day. in the
employ of the then Saco Manufacturing Co,npany.
Here he faithfully did his whole duty. During he
summer and part of the fall of 1927, he worked on
the farm of Capt. Benjamin Patterson in Saco, AT
ten dollars per month. While residing at the last
named place, an intelligent democrat who had often
advised with him, and who well knew his worth.
recommended him to obtain an education Young
Hammons's reply was a noble one-a reply which
showed his character to be of no common mould :
u wish could, (says he,) but am too poor.
am desrous of obtaining good academical educa-
ton, but in my present situation cannot do it, be-
cause my parents are poor, and ever since have
been here hare erery month sent them fourth part
Of all my earnings, and if | should leave off work
they might suffer" That such was his habit, we
have abundant evidence in our possession. In the
fall Of 1897 he LEFT this place determined to obtain
an education; and, relying on his own manly cour-
age, native enthusiasm, and rugged constitution.
alone, unaided, he struggled through the initatory
steps to fit him for the active duties of life.
"He afterwards studied law, we believe with Mr..
Mclntire, of Parsonsfed, Mr. Jameson, of Cornish.
and finished his legal course with the now Judge
Goodenow, who was then a distinguished counsel
Tor and advocate at Alfred. Shortly after his admis
sion to the bar he removed to Lowell. where he
now resides. In 1910, he was one of the State sen.
ators from Oxford county and discharged the duties
incident to his new situation with great credit to
himself, and usefulness to his oons,Iinencv A. a
lawyer he has attained an elevated rank among his
brethren; Honest, capable, industrious and perse-
verlng, there can be doubt he is destined vet to
receive large share Of public favor. He has ever
been an unfiinching democrat, and in his youth,
while boldly contending with poverty, he imbibed
