orably the pecuniary obligations of the
government and reducing its burdens,
the other would repudate payment of the
debt and sink the country in bankruptcy !;
one stands by the labor interests of the
country against the cunning attempts of
Free Traders, the other would sell out our
farmers, shipbuildcrs and mechanics for
the advantage of foreigners. The repub-
licans have deserved we'll of the country,
and the country knows it; the democrats
have not entitled themselves to confidence
but the reverse, and the country knows
that too and herein are very good rea-
sons why the republicans are entrusted
with power and the democrats left to la
ment their want of it.

DUTIES or SPECIAL AGENTS.

BY circular just issued by the Secretary
of the Treasury, defining the duties of special
agents at the Treasury Department, they are
directed to be vigilant in reference to frauds
of the following description
l. Clandestne or irregularly landing of
imported merchandise arriving by sea.
2. Smuggling, or other unlawful introduce
ton of merchandise on frontiers.
3. Shipments in coasting trade, or over
land, of dutiable merchandise, payment of
duties on which has been evaded.
4. BY collision with custom officials and
employees, or by reason of their ineiiiciency
or neglect.
8. BY means of false statements, invoices,
entries, samples or other fraudulent practices
or appliances.
G. The execution of insufficient or defect
i've bonds, or giving of bonds by Irresponsible
or fictitious persons, and cancellation of
bonds by improper means.
Each special agent is required to make a
report at the end Of each calendar month of
all business transacted by him. The accounts
of agents are to be rendered under oath, en-
biacing, per diem. the compensation and such
expenses as are actually and necessarily in,
CURED in the discharge of their official duties.
The Secretary, in concluding his circular,
impresses upon the agents the necessity,
while energetcally and diligently discharging
the duties assigned to them, of so co-operat-
ing and harmonizing with the collectors and
other customs officers as to avoid any compli
cations which may impair the usefulness of
either.

pal during the last eight years

''While the principal of the debt" says
the Advertiser, "was diminished but six
teen and half per cent, the interest was
diminished more than twenty-seven per
cent. Our interest charge is now much
below that Of Great Britain, which for the
present year is f26, zoo, 900, or Sl33, $780,
900: and the recent negotiation of five
per cents, combined with the reduction of
the principal of the debt, will doubtless
cut down this item of expense before the
close of the present calendar year to an
annual charge OF less than one hundred
millions"
While the democrats in their conventions
are passing resolves to repudiate the
nations credit. the republican administra-
ton is successfully achieving an honorable
reduction of our burdens. There can be
no cause for surprise when the course of
the two parties is considered why the re-
publicans are trusted with power and the
democracy are kept in the minority. One
rallied around the flag when it was in dan
ger. the other threw impediments in the
way of prosecuting the war; one lifts the

THE MIME STANDARD AND TIE
LUNBERMEN

The Lumbermen of Maine will be sur
prised to learn from this weeks Standard
that the price of lumber during this dull
year is far too high. The Standard says ::
''The cost of lumber and all other materi-
ais has been carried up so high above the nat
ural cost of production that people can't af-
ford to build and make improvements and so
business comes to stand still, labor is thrown
out of employment and all branches of in
dustries suffer. The law of nature fixes a
point at which artificial stimulations of bust
ness by the arbitrary enhancement of prices,
reacts and exacts penalty with the same
certainty that violations of physical laws in
volve penalties. This whole system of pro,
lection is based upon fallacies and has been
one Of the most potent engines OF injury to
the business interests of the country that ever
has existed"
The remedy desired by the Standard is
that of the Free Trade Democracy, viz:
The admission of Canadian lumber free of
duty and the consequent reduction in the
price of Maine lumber. Those who think
the prosperity of Maine will be increased
thereby should by all means vote for Mr..
Titcomb.
The Portland Argus is pleading earnest
ly for the admission of Canadian ships,
and the Maine Standard now declaims
against all protection to Maine lumber.

PLACING OF THE NEW LOAN.

The administration has achieved un-
expected success in placing the balance
of the new five per cent loan. This, be
it remembered, is the closing stroke in
reducing the interest upon $500, 900
$50 bonds from six per cent to five per
cent. In 1870 the Secretary of the Treas
ury was authorized by Congress to re-
fund the above amount of six per cent
bonds at five per cent if he could. Mr..
Boutwell, entered upon the task. but when
Mr.. Bristow became Secretary of the
Treasury there were still Sl79, 900, 900
remaining not refunded.
Negotiations have now been concluded
by which this whole sum will be taken
by the Messrs. Rothschild and Son and
other European banks. This is a good
job for the government. 1t will save one
per cent gold interest on $179,000,000,
without sending dollar out of the coun-
try, and the entire cost of the transac-
ton is only quarter of one per cent.
The price paid by the parties taking the
loan is par, they receiving one-quarter
per cent as commissions. With the reduc-
ton of interest on the public debt. the
credit of the government rises, the neces-
sity for taxation becomes less, and the
wheels of business may move more brisk
ly and confidently. 1t was great thing
after the war, with such an enormous
debt as the country had upon its shoulders,
to bring the receipts of the Treasury up
to that point that we were able to meet
current expenditures, including interest
upon the debt, and begin a reduction
of the principal. 1t tested the courage
and honesty of the people. Had the dem
ocratic party held the power at that time
it is probable that reputation would
have followed, but the republicans planted
themselves upon the principle Of honest
payment Of the debt and by their efforts
our credit was saved.
We have now taken another step in adj
vance, one of the most important finan-
cially we have accomplished. Every
debtor knows how great relief it is to
have the rate of interest which he pays
lessened, not only reducing the sum he
has to pay annually, but raising his credit
and thus enabling him to grapple more
successfully with his obligations and i'm
prove better his opportunities. We shall
be saving. when this transaction is COM
plete. one per cent annual interest on
$500. 900, 900 by the reduction of the rate
of interest upon our public debt. By the
reduction of the principal our interest ac-
count has also been largely reduced. A
table in the Boston Advertiser before us
shows how the decrease of the interest ac-
count stands as compared with that of the
principal during the last eight years.

THE FITTSBURG WATER SPOUT

1HH IN 1OD Gnu arm DI OC1'
The devastating flood at Pittsburg will
call up in the minds of those who are IA
miiar with the writings of Professor Will
son christopher North), the tale in which
he relates the effect of the bursting of a
waterspout among the Highlands in Scot
land. 1t was in the time of the pcrsecu-
ton Of the Covenanters, party OF whom
had assembled at secluded place near
the bed of a stream among the mountains
to worship God. During the services
which were engaged in by men, women
and children, the signal Of danger was
given from cliff above. The congrega-
ton Immediately fled up the sides of the
ravine and took shelter in the caves and
among the rocks far up the sides. They
had scarcely secreted themselves when
company of soldiers appeared in the place
the Covenanters had recently occupied.
and with oath and ribald jest looked
around for the prey they expected to find
Presently a fearful sound was heard at a
distance among the hills, coming nearer
and growing louder. The soldiers were
paralyZed with terror Soon raging and
deep torrent came pouring through the
gorge, sweeping away the soldiers to in
evitable and almost instant death, while
the Coyenanters looked down in safety
from their hiding places upon the destruc-
ton of their foes, the gray-haired minis
ter issuing from the mouth of Wallace's
Cave and crying in the midst of the scene,

the Pittsburg disaster, that water spouts

lieved in them, and he was profound and
accurate observer and student of natural

phenomena. An instance occurred in this
State few years ago. within our knowl-
edge, where the side of high hill was
torn with deep gulch plowed by water
spout, or bursting cloud. The Pittsburg
disaster must have been caused by sud-
den and overwhelming burst of the watery
element, which can be satisfactorily ex-
planned we think upon no other theory than
that it was occasioned by water spout.
