Free Trade and Protection.

The New Hampshire Democrat says, in an
article on the tariff
"There is one fact, however, which we per-
fectly well recollect, and that is. in l04o and
1916, while the wing tariff Of 1912 was In full
operation, the price of -four in Boston was not
as high on an average as it was after the lower
tariff of 1916 came into operation. And the
same was the case with many other kinds OF
produce And, indeed, we do not understand
that the farmers complain of their business be-
ing bad for the last four or five years. The
rhg editors make all the compliant. These
facts with regard to prices of farmers pro-
duce under the two tariffs should be borne in
mind.
Another fact relative to the pauper lDbor in
European, manufactures is important We
were informed few days since by a very in
telligent man connected with one Of the Lowell
factories, that an agent from that place is now
in England and Scotland, and he writes home
that the operatives there are paid about the same
as those employed in the Lowell mills, in pro-
portion TO the time they work. They do not
receive quite SO much in amount, bnt they work
only ten hours per day, whereas the Lowell
operatives work thirteen or fourteen hours
The English employers also furnish their OPP
eratives with tenements and fuel at less than
one-fourth what is paid at Lowell for the same
thing. So it appears after all, upon the testi-
mony of an agent of the Lowell manufacturers
themselves, that the talk of 'pauper labor SO
far as operatives in Great Britain are concern
! ed, is all moonshine. Col Schouler, editor of
the Atlas, IN his letters from Great Britain,
stated that there was great deal of poetry in
the talk about 'pauper labor in the manufacto-
ries of that country. In this respect, therefore,
our manufacturers need no protection. :"

Shocking Accident.

On Tuesday afternoon, while Mr.. William
D. Sewall. Jr.. was assisting little boy down
from the ship now building in the yard Of
Clark and Sewall, BY misstep both we've pre-
cipitated to the ground. Mr. Sewall struck upon
the left side of his head, just above the temple.
and was taken up insensible, the blood flowing
profusely from both his ears. After removing
him to the house his senses returned, but he
retained them only an hour. Drs. Stockbrldge
and Putnam were early in attendance, but med
ical skill proved unavailing,-he died about 9
o clock in the evening. The boy was unin-
jured.
Mr.. S. was young man or about 20 years OF
age, and universally esteemed by all who kne"
him. He leaves a wife, to whom he was mar
ried but six months since.

1t is an suspicious thing for the Democracy
Of Maine that their cohesion has ever been
strong and understandable the party in New
York has been weakened by intestine feuds.-
While the two wings of the Massachusetts, de-
mocracy have been at variance with each other,
the hard handed and firm hearted sons of
Maine have kept on in the even tenor of their
way undisturbed by the strife of the elements
about them, ever true to the Union and the
Constitution. So may it ever be. While they
shall remember the untold blessings that have
been conferred upon them by the confederation,
in developing their resources, and thus raising
this State to commanding position among her
sister States, they will be slow to violate any
of the clear provisions of that noble palladium
of our liberties or take unnecessary pains to
roll the apple of discord into our national coun-
ellis. Our political existence depends almost,
if not altogether. upon this bond of Union, and
whoever raises his arm to cut cord in this
WELL adjusted and well balanced machinery is
only pointing the knife to his own heart
This the democracy of Maine well understand,
and on this conviction they have hitherto and
will hereafter base their action.
The petty jealousy that for while threat
ed to ALLEVIATE us was only the creature of a
day. 1t only arose from misconception of
each others sentiments, and Misrepresentation
of the true tests of democratic faith. All now
equally jealous to support the Constitution,
and abide by the decision of our courts in their
construction of it. These are the arbiters they
themselves have selected, and by their adjudi-
in declaring they should be governed. Were
it necessary we could adduce arguments
weghty and convincing, to show how utter
" futile and how strongly suicidal it is to
kinde false lights, and strive to make men be-
lieve they differ in toto, when they are really
at variance on some collateral issue. Gov.
Hubbard in his last message laid down the only
true, and consequently only tenable grounds
upon which the democracy of Maine can act
with safety and success. His views are such
as become the man, broad and comprehensive,
liberal and just. a
1t must seem strange to the old veterans,
who hattled years ago in our runks with such
honorable success, to hear US talk and write
about the necessity of union and harmony
1t was point upon which all reasonable men
were then agreed, and in conformity to which
they acted. No breeze then ruffled the peace
full waters. Men were willing to make some
sacrifice for the common good. All minor
questions were then merged in the great CEN
trai democratic faith. The democracy of the
North and Of the South, of,he East and of the
West, went shoulder to shoulder to the work.
so let 1t be In the contest which is approach
ing. and success, as of old, will again be ours.
Let Maine, in conformity with the motto upon
her escutcheon, bu, give the right direction, by
united, vigorous and harmonious action, and
she can then wash her hands in case Of another
defeat, if such thing is supposable,

CHANGE OF NOTIONS IN RESPECT TO RAILROAD
eRaprEsrs.-The editor of the Boston Trav-
eller, who has recently travelled over the At
lantic and St. Lawrence Railroad, recurs to the
report of Maj. Long in 1884, in which ne de-
clared that for the distance of three miles near
Woodstock, where the road now runs, the
grade would be 60 feet TO the mile, and could
not be smmounted except by stationary engine
drawing up the train. But. says the Traveller,
our heavy train containing some 300 or more
passengers passed up that rery grade Of GO
feet to The mile at the rate Of about 20 miles the
hour by the aid of a single locomotive engine :

FIRE.-The dwelling house, shed, stable,
horse, gig, box of medicines, and case Of instru-

Dixfeld, were destroyed by fire, last Saturday
between the hours of 10 A. NJ and 12M. No
furniture saved Loss Sl50O-no insurance.
The fire is supposed to have been the work OF
an incendiary. The DIR. had left his stable but
few minutes before the alarm was given,
when the entire body Of the stable was hiied
with fame The air was perfectly stlll, else
there must have been a general confiagratlon.
The village was saved by the greatest exer-
tons on the part of men, women and children.

SLAVERY IN GEoRGIA.-"A Mr. Bryan of
South Carolina, has lately published pam
phlet, styled The Rightful Remedy which
contains good deal Of historical and statisti-
cal information concerning the institution of
slavery. Among other things, in mentions the
curious fact, probably new to most of our rea-
ders, that Georgia was for twenty years not only
free but white colony About the year
1892, the trustees for establishing the colony
prohibited slavery, under which policy it Lam
guished until 1912, when they resigned their
charter to the King. In thirty years after the
introduction of slave labor, there were 80, 900
slaves in the province"
To which may be added still more curious
fact, that the introduction of slavery into Geor-
gia, was recommended by the excellent George
Whitefeld, one Of the greatest and most sue
cesstul of preachers since the days of the apps
ties. The reasons that he gave were, that the
blacks were better suited to the climate, and
that the white population could not succeed in
cultivating the State without them. This does
not prove slavery a good thing in itself, but it
rebukes the arrogance which condemn as anti
Christians all who are not anti-slavery men,

been since the days of Paul.-Procidence Her

ACCIDENT ON THE CASTERS RAILROAD
The eastern noon tram was delayed an hour
on Wednesday. Soon after the train lett
KennebuDk, the two last cars became de-
tached, and were left by the engine. In
the separation, The bell of the engine was
rung by the parting of the rope, and the en-
glneer supposlng this signal TO stop, for
some accident, reversed his engine. The
consequence was, that the separated cars be-

came in collision with those still connected
with the engine. The cars were badly in

BRIEF Mention. The friends of Cen
eral Scott must feel warm and comfortable over
the late elections in Indiana especially when
they notice that the only Wing elected to Con-
gress there, was an avowed Fillmore man
Before great while, Webster will be out
against Scott's nomination as one I" not fit to be
made" and last of all, after SCOTS defeat. the
Wings will sing the song, ''Oh no, we never
mention him." The old Wing candidates slip
away, into very rapid oblivion; and there
are not wanting ungratefhl men to give them
an ungentle impulse when in the ''declivities
or ifame.'' Poor Clay is warning in this
way. After the Wing defeat Of "A, two old

preached the Sabbath evening previous, at the
Winter St. Church. We have received reply
of some length in which the writer denies that
in connection with the fugitive slave law, as
stated by our correspondent He also thinks
the charge in relation to "seizing upon the
occasion to foist upon the congregation his
(the preachers peculiar notions of the fugi-
tive slave law" was unjust and undeserved.

scope upon the question than we care to devote
to it, and we must decline its publication in

- The decision by which Judge Conkling
liberated Daniel at Buffalo amounts to this ::
that, according to the 10th section of the act,
no slave who escaped prior to the passage of
the fugitive slave law can be holden under that
law Daniel was brought before Judge C. on
habeas corpus, and taken by that writ from
the custody of the U. S. marshal, and liberated,
notwithstanding the marshal had certificate
from the U. S. commissioner directing the re-
turn of Daniel to the service of'his owner
After this, it can hardly be pretended that the
fugitive slave law cuts off the habeas corpus.

ANNALS OF WARREN. We have received
from the publishers Messrs. Mesters, Smith &
Co., Hallowell, neat and closely printed work
of 437 pages, 12mo., entitled "Annals of the
Town of Warren; with the early history of
St Georges, Broad Bay, and the neighboring
settlements on the Waldo Patent, with a map
of the Towns, and Lots as originally laid out"
By Cyrus Eaton, A. NJ. 1t was the primary
design of the author to give to the public a his
tory of the town of Warren, but it was found
to be so blended with the early history of the
neighooring places. that cursory account is
given of them down to the time of their incor-
poration.
The compilation of this work-containing as
it does, such an immense fund of historical,
genealogical and other information connected
with the early settlement of the Waldo patent,
must have cost the author severe toll and
unceasing perseverance. He avaied himself
of the records and archives of the town, coun-
ty and State, and of the United States, to-
gether with large store of Evolutionary in
formation collected many years ago from aged
inhabitants. This work should be read by
every person in the county. Price 81 ,50.-
