DIRECTIONS TO oANvAssERs.
BANGOR, July Is, 1875.

The Maine State Executive Committee invoke
your aid in the immediate enrolment and organza-
tion of the grand Democratic Army, preparatory to
the coming conflict on the 18th of September.
Inspired by the noble example of our brethren In
sister States and by the cheering all abous
in our own, we enter upon this campaign with con-
fdence that the victory for which we have so long
struggled, is now within our grasp.
For the turtherance of our plans aud the accom-
plishment of our purpose we ask your Jealous
efforts and hearty cooperation. II Our orders are
August will find every Democrat in the State
rolled in Companies Regiments, Brigades, Divisions
and Corps, in the school districts towns. Represen
tatives classes Counties and Congressional Districts.
That date will also find whole army, for the first
time in twenty years, in battle array, from the New
Hampshire boundary to the Province borders, and
from the Canadian frontiers to the Ocean We shall
also know the exact strength and disposition of the
enemy's forces.
Please then give heed to the following direetions:-
l. Canvass every voter in your school-district,
ascertain his political disposition at the present
the canvassing blank.
2. Make your canvass of the voters with especial
reference to the respective candidates for Governor.
8. As soon as you have completed the canvass of
your districts, fill up your blank, and make up foot
4. When all is finished make immediate return
of the blank to the head canvasser Of your town.
5; Communicate freely with all Democrats to the
inch of the State is to be fought over and that every
man is expected to do his whole duty.
.. Men are changing now, anu persona eff0rt and
persuasion with the wavering, and doubling will be
fruitful of good result.
l.. Make return of your canvass bv the first day
OF august to the end that the Executive Com mmittee
may have the enrolment of the State complete by
the 18th of that mouth.
- The Executive Committee will have further
and important communications to make TO you i'm
mediately after the canvass of the whole State is
finished.

"The Roberts-Emery Campaign.v

The Bangor Wing has come into posses
sion of campaign circular to which are ap-
pended the names of the Democratic State
Charles W. Rob rts, MARcELLUs EMERY
and Charles N. Hersey, Democratic State
Executive Committee" We bespeak for
this circular of the Democratic candidate for
Governor and his Godfather, Marcelus En-
cry, a careful perusal. 1t is even mole re-
markabIe document than that issued by Mr..
Charles P. Kimbal in 1871, which was head
ed by cut of fine carriage, but was mod
estly signed by the chairman of the State
Committee, if we mistake not. There is ne
such modesty displayed in this. Not only
does the Democratic candidate affix his own
name to campaign circular, but he prefxes
the title of General. Then follows the name
of the man who to-day is the controlling spir-
it in the Democratic party-Marcellus Eme-
ry-the name that was derided by the young
Democracy in Democratic Convention in
1870.
The reader will be struck by the military
air OF the circular. 1t reads like field or
der. Indeed the Democratic party is enrolled
in companies, regiments, brigades, divisions,
corps. Why shouldn't it be? Isn't the Or
der signed by Gen. Charles W. Roberts? and
isn't Mr.. Marcellus Emery running the cam
paign on the patriot soldier issue-Mr. Mar
cellus Emery-the man whose peculiar patri-
otism in 1851 caused Democrats to suggest
that he be sent to Fort Lafayette with Bob
Elliot? We commend this circular to our
readers. 1t is little better than that of Mr..
Charles P. Kimbalps in 1871, which the then
chairman of the Democratic State Commit
tee said gave the Republicans five thousand
votes, because it stirred them up. If Mr..
Kimball's circular, which that gentleman's
modesty did not allow him to append his own
name, brought out 5000 Republicans, this or
der of Gen. Roberts and Marcellus Emery
will stir up much larger number.
The following is General Roberts order:

HE argus takes advantage of misprint

The Argus takes advantage of misprint
in our columns, claiming that we substitute
ed the word speedily for steadily" in the
Ohio Republican platform. We accept the
amended reading, and claim that platform
which says that that policy of finance should
be steadily pursued which will equalize the
purchasing value of the coin and paper dol
lar, that is, which wilbring about resump-
tion of specie payments, is vastly preferable
TO platform like that adopted by the Ohio
Democrats, which deneunces contraction,
calls for the abandonment of a.policy leading
to resumption, and favors the payment of
one-half of customs in legal tenders. The
Republicans have pledged themselves to re-
sumption in 1876 and TO steadily pursue
policy which shall lead to resumption. That
is the policy endorsed by the Republicans Of
Ohio. Mr.. Pendleton declares himself to be
in favor of hard-money, but opposes resump-
tion in 1876, opposes the Republican plat
form which favors policy steadily leading
to resumption, favors the breaking of the
pledge to resume specie payments in 1879,
and favors repudiation of portion of the
gold interest. That is the man whom the
Argus endorses and whose policy it looks
upon as hardmoney policy. By the way
the argus has not submitted the two plat
forms to its readers for purposes of compari-
son.
The Portland daily press., 1875-07-29

Mr.. PENDLEToN evidently shaped his
Gallipolis speech with view to "elegant ex-
tracts" There is one portion of his address
which is fit for quotation in hard money jour-
mails at the East, and other and large por-
tions spoken for the benefit of imitation jour-
mails at the West. The argus of course
quotes the hard money passage, which is
nothing but string of generalities, and de-
nies the existence of the other passages in
favor of issuing all the notes Congress cares
to print, of Indefinitely postponing the pay
ment of them, of repudiating the pledge of
the government to ledeems it notes in 1879,
and its other pledge to collect the customs
wholly in gold and devote the gold to the
payment of interest. The argus entirely
ignores these recommendations, and has the
hardihood to claim that Mr. Pendleton Is
hard-money man. Will it inform its readers
when Mr.. Pendleton is in favor of beginning
resumption?

Argus is attempting to deceive its readers or
else the Democrats of Maine are advocates

The downfall of the old and extensive
banking house of Duncan, Sherman & Com
pan5, is great financial disaster, and the
sympathy of the country will go out to this
respected conservative firm. The disaster
was entirely unlocked for, and in consequence
the excitement in financial and business cir
cles was at first very great. But confidence
seems to have been speedily restored as 1t be-
came evident that the suspension could not
materially affect general business. Opera
t;ons rave been so contracted of late and so
much caution has been exercised, that busi-
ness houses of any prudence are in good con-
dition to meet shocks of this kind without
falterng The failure seems to be due to un-
fortunate investments in cotton, and losses
from the depression in prices of that staple at
Liverpool. The liabilities are between five
and six millions, and assets much less. About
three-fiiths of the debt is held abroad.

or water power, extracted more than so per
cent weight of juice from canes ground
wind mills and cattle mills seldom or
never did this and under the bad sys-
tenn of DELEGATION and concentration gene
rally used on small estates, one pound of
dry sugar per gallon of juice was considered
the average yield. Under such circumstances
the planter who is relieved from the trouble
and expense of manufacture, and receives for
his canes the value of five per cent of dry
sugar, good 4thS, drives a good business,
unless be can have at his disposal capital suffi-
cient to erect a good plant.
Certainly an old established Factory could
afford TO be more liberal, but in a country
where Central Factories were being introduced
for the first time, where of course incidental
and unforeseen expenses are liable to occur,
it would not be prudent for a company to start
such an establishment on any other basis
neither would it tend to the advantage of the
cane planter that it should do 50, a failure to
the company would be ruin to the man who
might have spent more than his all in planting
and cultivating his cane fields, and the per.
Gentage might be increased after the second
or third year, when there would no longer be
a fear of failure. That som USineS have eX-
tracted upwards Of eight. per cent there is no
doubt, but also that many have not obtained
six is also a recognised fact. Moreover, with
any percentage Of extraction, a Factory, to
pay a good. premium on capital employed,
must be supplied with canes for at least one
hundred aud twenty days full work This can
scarcely be expected in a new Factory, estab-
lshed, az probably it would be, in a district
not yet fully cultivated.

~vantages and protection enjoyed by the beet
root sugar producing countries OF Europe under
the provisions of the Sugar Convention of 1864.
and by the slave holding sugar countries. That
these advantages and protection will be mate
rally increased by the recent abolition of the
sugar duties; and that unless put an end to by
England must result in the ruin OF the entire
sugar industry of Great Britain. Your Petit
TONERS humbly submit that so long as the duties
refunded on the exportion Of refined sugar from
the continent so largely exceed, as they now
do, the duties actually paid on the raw article,
the continental re6ners enjoy SO great q bounty
and protection as to render it impossible for the
British r%einers, operating on colonial sugar, to
compete with them. At the present moment
the English r%etinors ara compelled to suspend
their operations, and the sugar OF your Petition
cs is deprecated in value and unstable.
Your Petitioners cannot believe that England
intends to permit her sugar trade to be ruined
by the protected b0unty-ted and slave grown
sugars, but your Petitioners submit that 1t IS
impossible for them to complete with those who
enjoy these great advantages and protection
by the disregard OF treaty obligation and the
true principles of free trade. Your Petitioners
do not seek to have their produce protected
by England, but they hope that they will be

with those who are protected. They believe
that the true principles of free trade must in
time put an end to the production of sugar by
means of bounties, slave labOur, or any other
kind Of protection, but they also believe that
unless England interfores, the British sugar
industry will be ruined before the inevitable
change occurs in the ordinary course of events.
Your Petitioners therefore humbiy pray that
your lordships will prohibit the introduction
into England Of all sugar protected as aforesaid,
and by so doing place all sugar-prOducing
countries and places on one footing of perfect
equality. Your Petitioners believe their prayer
to be reasonable and just, and most humbly
pray for such relief as to your lordships shall
seem meet. And as in duty bound your Petit
TONERS will ever pray, &c. Signed by 200 pro-
~prietors and Others interested in the production
