The democrats have nominated Hon. T.
K. O'Brien of Thomaston as their candi.
date for representative to Congress in this
district. 1t is very plain that the nomi-
nation was considered an empty honor.
Mr.. O'Brien's name will not arouse the
enthusiasm of the democracy to high
pitch. The wisest men of the party chose
to ''stand from under" Mr.. O'Brien is a
successful man of business, but he will
make small show in running
for Congress. The resolutions con-
tain the stereotyped charges of corruption
and extravaganza against the republican
party. The last one, which represents
Mr.. Blaine as charging the administration
with being responsible for the Reciprocity
treaty, is cheap attempt at smartness,
both false and weak. The convention it.
sell had no opinion to express upon the
treaty, and SO the voters of the third dis
trict, the shipbuilders. lumbermen, farm
ers, are left to believe that the democ-
racy are in favor of its provisions, which
If adopted would be disastrous to their in
terests. By this action those who vote for
O'Brien will be understood to endorse the
treaty.

The following expressions from the Indiana
Senator will find cordial approval in Maine.
1.-THE draft of the Reciprocity Treaty with
Canada does not meet the Senator'S approval.
He fails to see in it any advantages to be
gained by the whole country, and especially
by the States of the Northwest. The pro-
posed treaty would give to Canada substan-
TALLY the advantages of being State of the
Union, while she still retains all the advan-
tages of the British connection, and is to us,
in every respect, a foreign country. Her ad-
herence to the British Government springs
from hostility to the United States her trade
and affiliations are naturally with us, and for
Ave months in the year she is shut out from
commercial connection with Europe save
through our territory. Canada does not nor
cannot flourish in her present political rela-
tons, and in the interest Of her independence
the Reciprocity Treaty should not be con-
cluded. SO long as she chooses to remain a
part of Great Britain, she should be consist,

BRIGHT OUTLOOK.

The debt statement for July, in the
opinion Of the Treasury officials, shows
that the government enters upon the new
fiscal year with abundant evidences of in
creasing prosperity, and that the country
has, to a great extent, recovered from the
disasters of the September panic. The
national finances have seldom, in the
first month of any recent fiscal year, war
ranted so hopeful an outlook as now. A
comparison of the debt statement for July,
1873, the first month of the last fiscal year,
with the debt statatement just published
will show under what different auspices
the past and the present fiscal year
began. Last year the reduction of the
public debt in the month Of July was only
$500, 1913; this year, in the month of July,
the public debt was reduced 81, 272, 966, a
reduction nearly four times greater. The
receipts from internal revenue for last
month exceeded the receipts from that
source for the corresponding month
of the last fiscal year by about 81, 900, 900.
1t is expected in the Secretary's Office
that the Customs receipts for the current
fiscal year will be considerably greater
than were the receipts from that source
for last year. Altogether. the Govern
ment officials are very hopeful of the
financial results of the present fiscal year,
and believe. particularly in the receipts
from Customs, that the evidences of the
recovery of the country from the panic
can be discerned.
While such is the cheerful look in the
financial affairs Of the government, the
bountiful crops which the harvest prom
Uses, and the revival of business taking
place in important branches of industry
tend to create hopeful feeling, and make
the general prospect bright and encour-
aging. Although the panic was severely
felt, 1t will not be without some good re-
suits. 1t has taught US to moderate our
ambition in good many directions, and
the lesson will not be lost. No party but
one strongly entrenched in the confidence
of the people conld have come through
the crisis as safely as the republican party
That it passed through the trial triumph-
antly is grand evidence of the wisdom
with which the party is guided.

Postage Rates.

| Congress in its expiring hours INDUCED
in contemptible piece of spite against
the press for compelling the abolition OF
the franking privilege and the repeal of the
salary grab. A postal bill was passed
which might Justly be entitled: An act to
annoy newspaper publishers and subscri,
bers. The bill as passed makes these pro-
visions
Daily newspapers, two cents per pound, prepaid
at the mailing office after January 1.iSz5. and week,
ly newspapers and periodicals, three cents per
pound prepaid at the mailing office, after the same
date. All newspapers are to go free within the
COUNT OF publication. The Congressional Rec0ra.
when sent from the publication office will be sub
ect 10 the law governing daily newspapers Tran.
silent copies OF the Record, one cent postage on
each.
Congressman had the petty meanness to
reserve special privileges for themselves in
sending ont their speeches to 'the dear
people, for it is in the Congress siond@ Rec
ord that those speeches are published and
as transient copies of that publication
they are usually sent out. Congressman
thus reserved the right to send their
speeches at halfrate. 1t was in keeping
with the craftsmanship of your average
Congressman to cheat Uncle Sam out of a
penny every time he makes a constituent
q present of one of his speeches. The
transients of no daily except the one which
is the official organ of Congress can partic-
ipate in this modified franking privilege
Half a loaf is better than no bread" is
the accepted axiom of those who would
like to restore Congressional dead headism.
Under the old law the postal rates were
as follows: Newspapers regularly issued
and sent to regular subscribers, by pub
fishers or newsdealers, payable quarterly
in advance, either at the mailing or deliv-
cry office Daiies, 3j cents; six times
week, 80 cents tri weekles, Is cents
semi weeklies, 10 cents; weeklies, 5 cents !;
semi monthlies, not over ounces, 6 cents;
monthlies, not over ounces, cents quar-
terlies, not over ounces, | cent The
transient rates were cent for each 2
ounces, or fractions thereof with double
rates on books and samples of merchan-
disc.
The actual Importance of the changes
made is insignificant, as compared with the
malicious and fraudulent spirit which per-
vades tie change, especially as shown in
the favoritism to transient copies of the
Congressional Record, or, in other words,
to congressman in the distribution of their
speeches. In due time the friends of the
bill will be called to public account for
their action in this matter, 4 Chicago jour
