If there is one class of men among us who,

the question of free trade and protection, it is
the Mechanics. - Tribune.
If there is class Of men among us, who,
more than others, should go for FREE TRADE,
it is the class composed of the ship carpenters
of Bath. Down with restraints upon COM
merce for the sake of building up the cotton
archy of New England. Down, we say, with
a tax upon farmers and producers, the bone
and muscle of the country, for the sake of en-
aiding soulless corporations to declare divi
dend of twenty-five or fifty per cent. Down,
we say, with that kind of manufacturing that
requires premium from the government to
sustain it. We go for free trade and equal
understand their true interest, will do the
same.
The truth is, the old doctrine of protection,
once the darling principle of the wing party
was discarded long ago; and it is amusing at
this late day to read in the Tribune the old
wing arguments in favor of high tariff The
Tribune is mistaken about that issue entering
into this campaign at all. That paper is be-
hind the age The fact is, whiggery is at this
very hour trying to forget the protection, and
steal the old democratic doctrine of free trade.
We advise that paper to keep up with the chan
ges of its party, so as to be within hail.

shire from Boston for San Francisco, has been
lost on the coast of Chill. A passenger by the

two shipwrecks, one on the Island of Santa

to be the ship Stafordshire Of Boston, with up
wards of 300 passengers, all of whom were

a good ship of 1917 tons, not year old, and

If the democratic party Of Maine means to

come an object of dersion to its enemies and of

any of the great purposes of its being-rent
with internal discussions, prey 10 the malice
or caprice of lawless, disorganizing mulinous

such reasonable assaults upon its supremacy,

Nights solemn stara. each lends its potent aid
To prove to man-no solitude is here

Chnngeful of mood, yet changeless in the power
Which sends thy crested waves; in reckless glee
Oer each fra thing which braves the tors dark hour
Whether beneath clear skies thy pillows sweep,
Ornea destruction in their wild career,
The varying ceaselcss music of the deep
Thunlers Or sighs-no solitude is here
But on lifc's arid highway, where the crowd :
OF men against their kind their warfare wage,
And check each worthy thought. yet speak aloud
The biting sneer, the yenomed words Of rage
Where charity is met by cold distrust,
And gold, almighty gold alone shines fair
Where even Faiths pure robe is stained with dust
o.lonely human heartily solitude is there
