MR.. PILLSBURY TROUBLED.

Mr. E. F. Pllsbury publishes in the Stan
own signature in reply to certain questions
asked him in the journal. The article was
presented to us for publication, but on ac-
count of its length and curious character,
we declined to publish it. The history of
Mr.. Pillsbury during the war is written
| with his own pen in other characters and
paragraphs than those presented in the
queer collection of clippings and comments
in the Standard. We wish from the bot
tom Of our heart he were able to make out
clear case of honest-hearted devotion to
the government, but, alas the labor and
pains which he spends only show how diff
ficult the task is When Mr.. Pillsbury COM
plains of us for catechizing private citi
zen, he must remember that he was Presi-
dent of the Democratic State Convention,
and it was his acting in that capacity which
led to our questions. How long is it since
the Standard claimed the right not only
to discuss the public acts of one of our citi
zens. but to dive down into private and
personal affairs Had we followed the
example of the Standard we should have
inquired what Mr.. Pillsbury usually has
for breakfast, dinner and supper, and
whetherhe sleeps between sheets or blank
cts. or keeps a dog, instead of asking
few mild and proper questions about his
war record. The remarks of the Standard
at the close of its article, upon the editors
of the Journal, are undoubtedly consider
ed by Mr.. Pillsbury to be couched in the
highest style of journalism, and in accord
ance with the most dignifed and honorable
idea of the editorial profession and frater-
nifty. That may be his opinion, but we
object to being judged by such adepraved
standard. The manner in which we are
assailed is its best answer, and we leave
the public to judge who best deserves the
epithets that Mr.. Pillsbury sees fit to use,
the editors of the Standard or those of the
Journal.

same principle holds good in their case as
to factories and education
The republican party has favored the
laborer in regard to taxation. Both the
tariff and internal revenue tax have been
so adjusted as to fall as much upon proper
ty as possible. The last Congress refused
to remove the income tax, although they
reduced and modified it, because it falls
upon the wealthy chiefly. But while re-
tanning the income tax and keeping up the
tax on spirituous liquors and luxuries, taxes
which the rich must pay, they regarded
the laborer, who uses and needs as much
tea, coffee, and sugar in the family as any
other class, and reduced the duties upon
those articles.
Throughout the farming districts of the
State of Maine there never was so much
as now. Farmers never were
so clear of debt, or had SO much working
capital or money in bank or securities.
Everything they produce commands cash
and a good price. In democratic times
they had no market, no money. ana were
ten times more embarrassed to pay their
taxes than in these times, and even with
the war debt upon their shoulders would
not 90 back to the aforesaid democratic
times on any account. Let them compare
prices themselves, compare comforts and
conveniences, education and general pros
perity, and see how greatly the result fa-
vors the present. We don't ask them to
take. our statement, but depend upon the
abundance of facts which they have in
their knowledge and possession.
Let the farmers and laborers of Maine
do as the workingmen of New York are
doing-give their support to the republi-
can party.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1870-09-02
THE WORKINGMEN'S PARTY.

The appeals of democrats to the work
ingmen of the country are not encourag
ing to their party We see that a meeting
of the General Committee of the Work
ingmen's Union of New York, held last
week, adopted an address attributing to
the democracy the hardships Of the work
ingmen and favoring a union with repub-
hcans. There are other movements of the
same kind, going to show that working
men are thinking and preparing to act.
That party which favors the building up of
home manufactures, TO give employment
to home labor and build up our home
markets, improving the common school
SO that the poor mans child can be edu-
Gated as well as the rich mans is the party
to which the workingman is bound by in
terest. The workingmen of the country
never received so much for their labor as
now, never had more comfortable homes.
or were more independent. In old demo-
cratic times laborer was glad TO work for
twenty-five cents day, and if his children
learned to read it was more by their own
exertions than from the advantages of the
common schools. Now the lab orer's chill
dren may receive good education in all
branches of study necessary to fit them for
business, and in the cities and large towns
the common schools are as good as acade-
mics. 1t is not merely the growth of the
idea that man is a man, whether he be
black or white, or works with pickaxe or
pen. but the stamping out of the old no.
ton that manufactures would grow and
villages and business increase without any
assistance, that has had much to do with
the benefits and privileges which laboring
men enjoy.
The republican party grew up upon the
principle that man is a man, no matter
what his color or occupation, and that the
laborer should call no man master, but
ovn himself and have all he could earn.
It's competitor was the democratic party
TDe republican party has pursued a lib
eral policy for the encouragement of man.
ufactures, railroads, schools, in order that
through the increase of these labor might
thrive and the country become prosperous.
During its existence nearly all our rail-
roads have been constructed, and their
rapid extension is due to the aid afforded
them by the republican party. The demo-
cratic party has no objection to railroads
but always has been found objecting to
measures to build them. The
