special industry, but for the purpose of rev.
enue. And an honest and intelligent free
trader supports revenue tariff not because
he approves such tax upon trade, but be-
cause he thinks it to be more just than pro.
lection. But he calls it revenue tariff, not
free trade.
If the Maine Democrats did not know these
simple truths their plight is ludicrous. II
they did know them, as must be presumed,
their purpose is obvious. They would fain be
all things to all men. The party is sadly in
need of "a cry" and some of its rhetoricians
have therefore proposed what they call "home
rule" and "tree trade" But when an en-
thusiast is asked what he means by free
trade, he nimbly answers that he means
something else. "Now you see him, and now
you don't" "You pays your money, and
you takes your choice" The simple fact is
that the revenue of the government has al
ways been largely raised by customs duties !;
there is present need of great revenue, and
it is the almost universal conviction that it
should be raised as heretofore. Thus ira
dition, necessity, and public opinion all de.
mand indirect taxation, while free trade re-
quires direct taxation. And as those Dem
ocrats who like to call themselves free-traders
know that free trade is an impracticable pol
icy, they childishly resolve for free trade to
save their "cry," and when challenged, ridic-
ulously reply that they mean revenue tar
if.
Such gentlemen, however, When they as
sert that their Maine brethren did not mean
either free trade or direct taxation, and that
it is vile SANDER to say that they did so, are
disposed of by the Democratic candidate for
Governor, who, in accepting the nomination,
as Mr.. Blaine states, especially approves the
foregoing resolution, and intimates his en-
durance of the lowest form of revenue tariff
only until we shall be educated up to the idea
! of equal, direct, and therefore moderate, tax
alton for the support of government, and un-
til this idea shall be brought into practical
operation" The Speaker is therefore en-
tirely justified in holding his opponents to
their words and to the policy which those
words express. If the Maine Democrats dc
not mean free trade, they deliberately de-
ceive the State by declaring for it. If they
do mean it, they necessarily mean direct tax.
alton. TO declare Sin favor Of unfettered
and unrestricted commerce is to declare alb.
solutely against custom-house duties. Hon.
esty is the best policy, and the Democrat;
would find it more profitable to have the
courage Of the opinions they profess.

POLTTlCAL,

Seventeen Republican Senators, three Lib
eral and five Democratic, complete their
terms on the 4th of March next. Legislatures
to elect the successors of most of them will be
chosen this fall.
Congressman James s. Smart of the NV1th
New York District has declined to be a can
ddate for denomination. His withdrawal, ii
is thought, will tend to harmonic the hostile
factions of the Republican party in his dis
trict.
Senator Gordon of Georgia denies that he
ever claimed any intimacy with President
Grant or to know anything of his political
views or purposes from any conversation with
him. He has never had any communication
with Gen. Grant as to party organizations and
programmes, past, present or future.
Conscious that the record of the recent Leg
slature is far from creditable to the Demo
cratic majority, the organs of the New Hamp-
shire Democracy are casting about for ex-
cuses. One of the most amusing attempts of
this kind is made by the Concord Patriot. 1t
thinks the long session and all of the discred-
table legislation were the work of few
treacherous Democrats who were working
with the Republicans to ruin the party, and
declares that the sooner the virtuous Democ-
racy rids itself of these wolves in sleeps
clothing the better. Isn't this rather doubt

The Portland Argus, being an outspoker
advocate of the Reciprocity Treaty, i:
alarmed at the feeling manifested by the
shipping interest of this State, against tina,
one-sided affair. The Argus attempts to
evade the point by declaring that the
Treaty does not admit Canadian vessels to
our Coasting Trade. This is merely q
trihing bubble on words. What the
Treaty does is to admit Canadan-built yes
sells to American Registry. They then be.
come American vessels and have all the
privileges of the coasting trade. See the
9th article of the Treaty. The bubble is
worthy of the Argus.

FREE TRADE As THELITTLE JOKER

FREE TRADE As THELITTLE JOKER
The last number of Harper's Weekly
notices in an editorial the attacks made
upon Speaker Blaine on account of al.
legged misrepresentation of the Maine
Democratic platform. A perusal of the
article will show that Mr.. Blaine's views
of the platform are endorsed, and con.
vince the readers that the democratic or.
gans which are assailing him for misrep-
resentation have no ground whatever for
their charges. The New York World has
again and again attacked him on this
point, but we venture to say it will make
no comment upon the sharp handling the
democratic papers receive in the columns
of Harper's. The article is as follows
The Maine Democratic Convention lately
resolved
THAT protective tariff is a most unjust uneoual
oppressive and wasteful mode of raising the pub.
lie revenue; II ID one of the most frequent and
fruitful sources OF corruption of ADMINISTRATION
We therefore, the Democracy of Maine, in con.
yention assembled, declare for Free Trade and in
favor Of unfettered and unrestricted commerce,p
Speaker Blaine, in accepting his nomina-
ton to Congress, comments at length upon
this declaration for free trade, and others
have done the same thing. Some of the
Democratic papers therefore fall into a CON-
ical fury, and insist that their Maine breth.
rem, although they said free trade, didn't
mean Is; and that Mr.. Blaine is the basest of
men for pretending not to know that thew
didn't mean it. These papers are good
enough to tell us what was meant, although
1t was not said. The resolution, we are told.
was intended to denounce protective tariff
