investigation what do we find? 1t.
ia, that the feelings Of the south
side and tho mass Of The people on
the NORTH sidcaro ia unison and the
same. What is ii the south side
asks ? Ii is that this measure moving
the county site be repealed and
brought before the people, aud for
them to say whether the removal
shall hc made or not. Aud wc find
the mass of The people on the north

now 1T LOOKS TO PEOPLE OUT
SIDE OF MAINE.

The Boston Advertiser in noticing Speaker
Blaine's letter at length says;
"Mr. Speaker Blaine, like Chief Justice
Chase and Senator Sherman, has been COM
PEELED by delusive Misrepresentation of his
riches to make public statement. The
Maine Standard lately held him up to public
execration as millionaire rolling in luxu-
ry," who had achieved his wealth by reason
of his connection with public affairs.
This business of slandering the character
of public men by inference from unwarranta-
BILE representations of their wealth is not only
reprehensible on every principle of Christian
morals, but is degrading and despicable
shift Of partizan warfare, which no exigency
excuses"
The N. Y. Tribune in publishing the letter
says:
"a good example of the pettiness which
characterizes the sort of politics chiefly at
fected by the Democracy is found in the ap-
parent necessity which exists for an exhibition
OF Speaker Blaine's personal affairs. Dem
ocratic newspapers have nothing more serious
to consider nowadays than the garments,
personal habits, diet, and domestic relations
of their political opponents. Speaker Blaine,
among the rest, has been daubed with this
sort of abuse, and has felt himself obliged to
confess that he is not millionaire, and that
he came honestly by the modest property that
he owns. 1t is humiliating that any public
man should have to do this sort of thing; but
if any shall be obliged to, it will be fortunate
for him that he can make as creditable an ex-
hibit as Speaker Blaine" 6 falHfE
The New York Evening Post says that from
the style Of attack on Speaker Blaine, ''the
inference must be that the democrats look
upon public plumber as the universal motive
of political action"

Two Pictures for Taxpayers.
Look at This.
OF PARIS.

The republican administration at Wash
ington was inangurated March 4th, 1869.
During the time which it has been in pow
er, now two years and a half, the public
debt has been reduced $25l 1884, 671. In
the same time all taxes upon cotton, boots,
shoes, cloths, clothing, furniture, leather,
machinery, oils, saddlery, soap, sugar,
and one hundred and five other articles,
have been entirely removed, while the in
come tax has been largely reduced. The
tax on whiskey has been reduced from
two dollars to fifty cents per gallon, and
that ON tobacco from forty to thirty-two
cents per pound. This reduction Of in
ternal revenue amounts to $4,000, 900 per
annum The net annual decrease of tax
alton, both on imports and domestic arti-
cles, since the close of the war, amounts
to S251 ,84S. 1927 49, This is a picture of
republican economy, as presented by the
administration at Washington.
