The Maine Standard appeals to the people OF
Name to put this State under democratic control
in order to reduce taxation. Considering that al
the extra burdens of taxation arise from rebel
lion inaugurated by Southern democrats, who are
now in actual control of the national democracy
this appeal is u, cool as January morning. The
Standard reminds Us that the State tax in 1856
was only one MILL while the present year it i.
four mills. But the Standard should remember
that the State expenditures in 1856 about
two mi lis on the dollar of State valuation, the
extra mil being paid FROM the sale OF State lands
which some years since practically disappeared
as a source Of revenue. The payments, the past
year on the interest and piGcipal of the war debt,
and for pensions, was about two and quarter
mills on our 5 tate valuation, and the payment on
the special state tax for common schools CORNER
ly assessed by mnnicpaites) and for free high
schools, and one eight mills, leaving less
than three-i fourth of mill of the State tax oil
four mills to be applied to current expenses. The
whole State tax for 1878 is $685. l2 out of which
the State administration pays $3.50 05s on account
of pensions for soldiers $500 900 to aid towns in
supporting schools (when municipalities formerly
paid the whole expense)-leavug only $4,000
of the State tax to be applied to ordinary State
expenses The truth is that the expenditures OF
the State for ordinary purposes are less per dollar
of the State valuation than they were under dem
ocratic adm instra ions, and less than any State
in the Union under democratic control to-
day. Maine under republican rule, has had An

It's Thought Abroad.

There is a large interest ielt in other
States in regard to political affairs in Maine
this year, because of the buster and boast.
ing made by the greenbackers.
This fet ling is voiced in a receLt edto.
rial in the Boston Trav, Ter. That paper
remarking that the greenback movement
in this State has been much overated con.
tinues: The conventions of that party
have served to expose its weakness in
able leadership. no less than in resp eta
BILE, intelligent following. The scramble
for prefermenl has brought to the surface
candidates who have no reputation and no
influence. The ideal movement for more
and easier money has deteriorated into a
struggle for the 'honors" and for the OPP
portani,ies for personal revenge which all
new parties offer to disapp pinted men.
1t seems to US not unreasonable t. predict
that the new party will number less men,
bers at the pjls than it app ,ars to num-
Der in the caucuses and conventions In
idtt It's aiV hOl tODtitub dS
against an organization like that of the
republican party, and there will be much
complaint and Encouragement as the re-
suit of the nominations and the wild and
irresponsible harangues from the plat
forms.
But whatever may be said of its
strength or weakness, the Greenback
campaign in Maine has an interest be-
yond most new party movements. 1t
has boosted itself into Importance. 1t
has received substantial assistance from
the West. 1t has taken the current of
dissat siaction at its food. 1t has adopted
every real or imaginary grievance as its
own and chan pioned it as the result of
the present hateful order OF things Thus
by making every GROWER mouth piece,
by industry and mendacity, and liberal
expenditure of money from other States,
it has advertised its greatness before it
has had time to develop, and it will give
a curious interest to the Maine canvass
never before felt abroad That State is
one of the few still adhering to early
elections, this year electing on the 9th of
September This lends the camp ,ign
there additional importance as an ear IL
test OF the public judgment on the
greenback question. Bat we do not an.
prehend any practical change in the eur.
rent of events. The Republicans will
win their victory as usual, the Democrats
will be second 10 the race, and the Green
hackers will be almost distanced."
We are TO fight battle in September
for the whole country. This should slim
ulate all republicans and friends of souno
currency to redoubed activity. A rous
ing victory in Maine in September fo
honest plFmen. OF tle public debt, and ;
currency as good as gold, will be wortl
