Reliable information from various parts OF
the state goes to show that the tide which
has been flowing from the agricultural towns
OF the state to the cities has ceased, and there
are indications that it has turned in tn e
other direction. We are informed that quite
number of families which left farming
towns in the flush times of manufacturing,
have, within year, returned to win their
bread by tiling the soil. There are hundreds
OF families that have focked to the cities
during the past twelve years that would be
far better off to go back to the abandoned
farms; and we may be sure that better times
cannot be reasonably expected in manufac-
turing towns until the surplus labor which
now contributes 20 sustain the high prices of
food and rents is turned to some productive
and selfsustaining employment. The sooner
people become convinced OF this fact the
better for all. Maine has more people in her
cltles and manufacturing towns than can
md remunerative employment. Let those
who can go to the farms, not in the West or
California, but those with deserted buildings
within ten or twenty miles of our cities and
contiguous to railroads. There they can at
least raise something upon which they can
subsist and doubtless contribute something
toward the food supply. Wages cannot be
reduced until food is cheaper. This cannot
be reasonably expected until the number of
producers is increased, not in distant states
but in Maine.

A Simple Suggestion.

Scores of causes have been assigned for
the extended period of the present business
stagnation. Doubtless many of these causes
largely contribute to The present dullness.
Paper money, a style of living in excess of
incomes, unwise speculation, the over-pro.
duction of many kinds of goods and over
trading are among the general causes as
signed. All of these have an influence to
continue the business stagnation, but beyond
all these there appears to be one serious OBJ
stace to an early and permanent restoration
OF business activity; viz: the high price of
1000 which more than all else regulates the
price OF labor. 1t is well known fact that
while all fabrics used for clothing have fallen
back to the prices which ruled before the
war or nearly so, the price of the staple arti.
cles of food have not fallen in nearly the same
proportion. Within three years the decline
in the price of cotton and wooden goods has
been most marked, aud it has continued,
despite the systematic efforts of manufac-
turers to maintain prices by checking pro-
duction. On the other hand there has been
little change in the price of food during the
past four years. Bread may be little lower,
but the price of meat, sugar, vegetables and
farm products generally, show little change.
Manufacturers OF fabrics have attempted to
save themselves from heavy losses by re-
ducing the wages of operatives, This policy
has only transferred portion of the loss to
the operatives and boarding g-house keepers,
who find no decline in the prices of provis-
ions and very little in the price of rents, since
the influx of people to manufacturing towns
the past ten years has made demand for
tenements. Consequently those who find
employment in factories are obliged to work
for reduced wages without the orrespondin g
advantages of cheap food and shelter. There
can be no change for the better so long as
the present condition holds. The manufac-
turers are still crowdng the market with
their goods so that no relief can come to
them from improved prices and they cannot
expect better condition while there are so
many of them desirous of working at any
price upon which they can subsist and the
price of food remains unchanged.
There appears to be but one course to be
pursued to remedy this unsatisfactory state of
affairs and that is to reduce the number who
find employment or rather expect to find the
means of livelihood in manufacturing
towns by devising some means induce thous-
ands now nearly dependent 70 go out of the
cities to the abandoned farms to be seen in
nearly all of Our rural towns dozan wars
since many of our Maine people living on
farms were attracted to manufacturing towns
by the activity which the demand of the war
and the scarcity of the few years subsequent
caused Now that the same people find the
outlook so unpromising in the manufacturing
business, will they not return to their farms?
By so doing the army of consumers can be re-
duced and the namber of food producers in
creased

COnyaleasing,

Several days passed after the affair Of
Monday before our neighbor, the argus,
showed sign of consciousness. We feared
that the municipal election had proved sort
OF political pile driver upon its venerable head.
Yesterday morning, however, the argus
showed that it was really coming back to its
pleasant old ways and at once it dropped into
prophesy. II had been told that conserva.
tive Republicans were going to swarm up to
the polls and vote for such men as Isaac d.
Cushman in preference to DIR. Foster. It
really believed that sort of stuff. Hence it's
prediction. But only few did so. Name
them.l The rest cowardly fell into the old
line and voted the old ticket.
The wicked Republicans had not only
deluded the argus into making its then
solemn but now ludicrous prophesy, but fur
ther explanation is given as follows:
We were not aware at the time the above was writ
ten that orders had been received from Washington
TO carry Portland at all hazaros and draw for the
money expended; neither did we anticipate that so
many mechanics and laboring men, who had for
months been out of employment could be hired to
absent themselves from the polls to vote the Re-
publican ticket.
-'o" "ASh 1AO dfDuo d>SuIleS l0aC orders
were received from Washington Or from any
other place to carry Portland at all hazards
and draw for the money expended, it asserts
that which we are authorized to declare to be
absolutely and pholEy false unless its party
friends in Washington, who now appear to
be led by the Confederate leaders, issued such
orders to the argus party. If these gentle
men did issue such orders, the argus party
leaders here did their utmost to obey them as
they always have. But let us go on:
"neither did aoe anticipate that so mann mechan-
acs and td6oring men, ah0 hare for months been out
or employment COULD BE HIRED TO ABSENT THEM
LICAN TICKET"
Last week the argus was the loud-mouthed
champion of these men; now it asserts that
they were hired to vote. Doubtless the me-
chanics and laboring men will remember this
gratuitous insult when, before election. the
argus again volunteers to become their
wordy champion.
We rejoice that the argus is returning to
its accustomed cheerfulness; but it should
not print such absurd and incoherent things
as the above, because there are those who
will not take into account the fact that our
neighbor is yet a little delirious from the aw-
full blow of Monday.

1t is rather curious how the zeal of the
Democratic Investigating Committee begins
to cool when they sight Pendleton or Randall
in their pathway. Now, if we were to have
Democratic Administration, we should have
to have Republican House to investigate it
within four years.
The Portland daily press., 1876-03-11

WE have already alluded to the frauds
which the Democratic managers of ward 5,
in Manchester N. III. have attempted to per-
petrate by placing eight hundred fictitious
names upon the voting lists of that ward in
order that a gang of imported repeaters and
hired home rufians may vote on them. This
is no campaign sensation. The Manchester
Mirror gives the four hundred names and
shows by actual canvass that the persons do
not live at the number and street given as
their residence. The ward does not contain
thousand men who claim to be voters, yet
when the Democratic selectmen first made
out the list it numbered seventeen hundred.
This the leaders thought would create alarm
and four hundred names were stricken of.
These, it is boasted, will be added before the
day OF election, so that between seven and
eight hundred fraudulent votes will be polled
thereon if the reckless leaders are not re-
strained. Last year the polls in that ward
were kept open until ii O'Clock at night and
and after the vote of the other wards
were counted and it was ascertained that the
city was Republican, two hundred votes were
received on fraudulent names which gave the
Democrats congressman, state senator and
county officers. This is what Democratic
papers mean by unrestricted suffrage.
