State Taxation.

We notice that some of our Democratic eX-
changes are seeking to give an incorrect i'm
preston relative TO the increase of state tax
alton, and are charging that the increase is
the result of Republican rule The facts are
simply these: In 1856 the state tax was
little over 100000, or two mills on dollar
of valuation. In addition to this, however,
there was revenue OF 100000 from the
State lands, making the receipts and expen-
ditures of the state about $350,00O, or more
than three mills. About this time the state
contributed from state taxation not single
dollar for the support Of public schools.
The state taxation last year was five and a
halt mills, or nearly one aud quarter mill
lion of dollars, and there was no revenue for
state purposes from any other source. But
of this sum about $3.50, 900, or over two mills,
was for interest and reduction of principal of
war debt, and about 1000, or one and a
half mills, to aid towns in supporting public
schools, in addition to the amount distributed
by the savings bank tax. Thus for these two
purposes-war debt and public schools-the
state contributed by taxation in 1873 the sum
of nearly 100000, or three and half mills
on dollar of the valuation, for which moth
ing was raised by the state by taxation in
1856. Setting aside those two items, and
the expenses of the state in 1873 were only
about two mills and half on dollar of the
valuation, against three mills in 1856. In
other words, the ordinary state expenditures
have not increased as much proportionally
as the vauation-the state tax for ordinary
expenses having decreased one-fourth of a
mill on the dollar; and the cost of carrying
on ho taf hos cd
so much as private expenditures generally.
More than that, not single state in the
Union, under Democratic rule, is run so eco
nomicaly, as the state government of Maine.

THE PR ES S.
SATURDAY MORNING, SEPT. -, 1874
NEXT MONDAY!

If the Republicans of Maine fully appreci-
ate the gravity of the position they occupy,
we are confident that next Tuesday morning
it will be our privilege to announce one of
those sweeping and decisive victories in
Maine, which, in the past, have done so much
to clear the political atmosphere. II, on the
other hand, Republicans fall into the deusion
that the enemy is inactive and respondent
and are satisfied with light vote, they will
find, to their dismay, that they have been de-
ceived when the warning will be too late.
Let us not be deceived; the Democracy, es-
pecially in the First congressional district, is
preparing 10 bring out full vote next Mon
day. They even profess to have hopes of de-
feating Mr.. Burleigh. They do not rely upon
their own superior numbers, but upon Repub-
lcan INACTIVITY and DIssENrIoNs. Let us
see to it that this old enemy whom we have
SO many times defeated, does not profit by
our lack of zeal and folly.
No one can estimate the consequences OF
an apparent Democratic victory in Maine,
which falling off of our majority to five or
six thousand in the state will be construed to
be. The Democratic party under Bourbon
leadership has made no converts from our
ranks and if our earnest and active men will
but spend the few hours proceeding the elect
ion in the old-time activity, our majority
will reach TWELVE THOUSAND.
By bringing out every possible vote, by
sparing no effort until the polls are closed
next Monday night, let us prove to our old
foe that we are capable of achieving the old
time victories.
Republicans of Cumberland and York, we
can give John FL. Burleigh FIFTEEN HUN

Current Notes.

Look over the Democratic nominations.
No Liberals this year, no wavering men,
no new converts. Long and tried party
men and many Of those of the Bourbon type
are the standard bearers this year.
The Republicans of Skowhegan at large
caucus gave every ballot for Gen. r. B,
Shepherd for candidate for represen tative.
An excellent nomination, and in this case
all the better because a nomination is equiv
alent to an election.
The Republicans of Oxford county had a
rousng meeting at Norway, Thursday af-
ternoon. Ex-Gov. Perham presided, and
speeches were made by Speaker Blaine, Sen
ator Hamlin and Congressman Frye.
1t is understood that the Democrats con-
cede the reelection of Messrs Frye, Blaine,
Hersey and Hale as representatives in Con-
gress, but that they will warmly contest the
first district. The Republicans of other dis
tricts, however, should understand that the
Democrats propose to do their best, and un-
less the Republicans meet them with -eoun-
ter efforts on their part, there will, of course,
be Democratic gains. This is coming to be
understood, and the apathy which has crept
over the Republican party in consequence of
the lack of a warm opposition, is beginning
to give place to increased MULTIPLICATION
Journal.
Senator Hamlin told the Norway meeting
Thursday, that the increase Of expenses at
the Portland custom house was not in pro-
portion to the increase of business since

TIE report that there is definite purpose
on the part OF some of Mr.. Hamlin's friends
in this city to stay away from the polls and
lend no aid to the ticket unless Hamlin man
is put on the representative list by the con-
vention to-day is incredible. The theories
and practice of their leader are directly con-
trary to such course and these gentlemen
themselves have always been foremost in
holding it 10 be the duty of Republicans to
sustain regular nominations; and now they
will not abandon all their theories because
they happen to be in minority. They also
know that Mr.. Hamlin would not wish nor
could he afford to have them set such an ex-
ample.

Obituary.
Rev. Ebenezer Knowlton,

The telegraph announces the death of the
Rev. Ebenezer Knowlton of MontvilIe, Waldo
county, at his residence in that town on Thurs
day, of heart disease. Mr.. Knowlton has been
in delicate health for a number of years. Mr.
Knowlton was native of New Hampshire and
settled in Montville as Free Baptist minister.
While he has always been leading man in his
denomination, he has given large part of his
attention to political questions, particularly the
slavery ISSUE In 1874 Mr.. Knowlton was
elected to the Legislature as Democrat, and
subsequently in 1916 and 1885, being Speaker
of the House in 1876. He was always identi-
fed with the Free Soil wing of that party and
was one of the first to assist in forming the
Free Soil party. At the breaking up of parties
inlMaine in 1854, Mr.. Knowlton was sort of
Free Soil ant-slavery candidate for Congress
in the Waldo district and took his seat in 1856.
His colleagues in the House were John M.
Wood of Portland, John J. Perry of Oxford,
Samuel P. Benson Of Winthrop, Israel Wash
burn Jr., of Orono, nd Thomas j. D. Fuller
of Calais. Mr.. Fuller was the only Democrat
in the delegation.
This was Immediately after the passage of
the Kansas Nebraska bill, which opened all the
territories to slavery. All who remember the
political events of those days will remember the
intense feeling throughout the Countrywide
South arrogant and defiant, the Democr alto party
in the North ready to do the bidding of South
ern leaders, the friends gof Feedom in earn
est, but divided After a time the House was
organized by the choice of N. P Banks as
Speaker, and in the spring following Charles
Sumner was assaulted. Those were days when
it was perlous to be friend of freedom in
Washington. Mr.. Knowlton was not re elected,
but he was consistent ant-sIavery man while
there After that time he never held public
office, but his aame was always spoken of as an
available man for the highest offices in the
state. Though interested in political events he
was never pushing candidate and conse-
quently exerted wide influence. Few men in
Maine have exerted wider or more salutary
influence and rarely have we had better illus
trations of the good citizen than that afforded
by Mr.. Knowlton. His age was about 60 years.

PENoBsCoT BAY s. RIVER RAILRoAD.-The
prospects for the building OF the Penobscot
Bay & River railroad are brightning. At a full
meeting in Bangor Thursday, contract be-
tween President Hichborn and j. 81. Leidly &
Co., railroad contractors Of New York, was
duly ratified and accepted The New York
contractors agree to bnid the road from RocK-
land to Bangor for $50, 900 per mile, and have
it finished on or before July 4, 1876. 1t is pro-
posed to commence work on the road this fall,
and finish it in one year. The whole distance
OF the proposed route is about fifty-eight miles.
The company pay $4,000 per mile cash, and the
contractors take bonds of the road for the rest.
The friends of the road are feeling well.

DIR. SCHENCK'S
Pulmonic Syrup. Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They compounded Of
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution.
Other remedies advertised cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, which Is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and il taken freely by
constructive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make cure impossl-
BILE.
Schencks Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle of opium: 1t is composed OF pow
liver stomach and blood, and thus correct all NOR
bid secreious and expe all the diseased matter from
the body These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate in this way it is obvl-
Gus they are the only, genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.
DR.. sehenck is professedly at his principal office

following Wednesdays: June 10th and 24;h July 9Th
