above fac-simile, it does not appear that
if Joseph was tempted he resisted; but,
on the contrary, he put it down upon pa
per with his own hand, that if the Cover
norship were given to him he would not
refer to Resumption in his message, he
would regard it thing accomplished :;
which of course would knock the bottom
entirely out of the greenback tub Far
Their than this, he was perfectly ready to
flout the Garcelon democrats in the face,
by inserting in his message the declara-
ton that he was opposed to Southern bull
doing; than which he could have said
nothing more insulting to his friends Pills
bury, Waldron, and Adams, now defend
ing and supporting him AS little less than
a saint. Our impression is that Mr.. Smith
held out the temptation to the republicans
when he offered the terms in his writing
above, and that the other party-whoever
it may have been-was the party that
withstood temptation and said in effect to
Mr.. Smith, Get behind me Satan"
1t is evident that the greenbackers in
supporting Smith are supporting traitor
to their party. They gave him their votes
last year, and he repaid the favor by at
tempting to sell them out last November.
The evidence that he has sought to betray
them is above, and it appears in the writ
ing he made with his own hand. Green
hackers! will you vote for the man who
offered to trade you out for thirty pieces of
silver?

The Maine Central Tax.

The people should know that it is republi-
can law, and not Gov. Garcelon and Council
by which the Maine Central Railroad escapes
taxation.-Gr eeaJaek Tribune.
The ''people should know" that the repub-
lican legislature of 1874, in pursuance of the
policy of reaching, so far as possible, prop
erty which escapes taxation, enacted law
providing for the taxation of railroads. As
such taxation was a new thing in Maine there
was considerable doubt exactly how to assess
the value of the franchise. 1t was found
as it then was, would yield a fair tax, and
would assign to the Maine Central about S25,
600 a year. This was very nearly the tax as
sesscd in 1874 and also in 1875, which was
paid into the State Treasury last February
After these taxes had been assessed, tn,
Maine Central took the ground that they were
unconstitutional, and carried the question
first to the State, and then to the U. :. court
both of which decided in favor of the State
The subsequent decline in the market valu,
of Maine Central stock, showed that the ba-
sis on which the tax was assessed would not
yield the tax which it was thought just for
| that road to pay. But as the question of the
right of the State 10 tax at all in the courts
and they would be likely to shed light on the
proper method of taxation, it was thought
wise not to attempt to amend the law until a
decision was finally reached.
This decision was reached one year ago.
and fully sustained the constitutionalty of tie
law and tax. 1t was the duty of the first leg
slature which should meet after the constitu-
tionality of the tax was affirmed, (and this
was the fusion legislature of 1879 to so
amend the basis of railroad taxation as to Sc
cure the S25 900 annual tax which a republic
can legislature intended to lay on the Maine
| Central. But the fusion legislature did moth
ing Notwithstanding their attention was called
to the necessity of changing the basis of tax
alton. now that its constitutionality was af-
| trnied
We submit that this places the entire re-
spons'blity far the escape of the Maine Cen
trail from taxation, on the fusion legislature,
and that such dereiction of duty affords
the most conclusive proof that the tusionists
are in no sense ''reformers' or special friends
of the people" The attempt Of the fusion
lists to make capital ont of a small reduction
of expenses-in the face of the fact that the
average annual reduction of taxation under re-
publican State administration, was considera-
| bly, larger from 1870 to 1873, comes with poor
grace from men who have made no efforts to
Tighten the burdens of the people by reaching
new sources of revenue.-LewistoaJ Journal

Political.

The republican caucus held at Burnham
Monday evening to choose delegates to the
county convention was very interesting one,
and was largely attended. Three of the del
egates chosen have heretofore been democrats
and all are men Of ability and influence.
Among those present at the caucus were some

low grcenbackism now.-Beifast Journal
The Oxford Democrat says that George D..
Bsbce, Esq, replied to Eben f. Pillsbury's
speech at Buckfield. Mr.. Bisbee was greeted
with '1sing meeting and took an hour to
reply to Pillsbury, and when he finished, the
smile that Pillsbury left on democratic and
grecnback faces. had vanished.

in our favor by about Sl9,000,O 900, and in
1875 against us by almost like amount. Be
ginning with the fiscal year 1876 the tide set
in favor of this country, and 10 the close of
the fiscal year 1874 period of four years
the aggregate balance of trade in our favor
was 1858, 100000. In other words, during
the first nine years after the war, we pur-
chased of the products of other countries
$3.50, 400, 600 more than we sold them, while
during the last four years we sold other ma
tons S753, 200, 900 more of our prodpcts than
we purchased of theirs.
The question may be asked: How did the
United States discharge the heavy adverse
balance during those nine years! First by
exporting specie and bullion at the rate Of
,bout $50, OOO, 900 a year from 1865 to 1876
both inclusive), aggregating $685., 400, 900.
Second, by exporting Indebtedness in the
'hape of United States, State, municipal and
corporation bonds, which were sold abroad
md the proceeds returned to us in merchan-
lise. We anticipated the profits of the bust
ness and industry of the country for years,
and sold them. The money derived was ex-
pended in merchandise and ventures. causing
an activity in business which was mistaken
for genuine prosperity. 1t was that sort of
short-lived and ruinous prosperity which the
individual enjoys who lives sumptuously up
on borrowed money. 1t is a prosperity that
ends in bankruptcy with the individual and in
panic and collapse in the case of nations.
But these gratifying changes in our favor,
none other than the making Of all nations our
debtors. should not lead us to forget the agen-
cies which have made them possible Much
of the change is due to our inability to pur-
chase foreign merchandise, and much of it is
to be attributed to the bountiful crops which
have found market abroad, but most of all
is it due to that wise policy of protection
which has fostered the various manufactur-
ing interests of the country so that we are no
longer compelled to purchase the greater part
of our wooden and cotton goods, the products
of iron and hundred results of skilled labor,
in other countries. IL we were purchasing
the bulk of products of skilled labor which
we consume abroad we should not have been
showing a trade balance in our favor of more
than $500, 000, 900 year the past three years.
1t is to the policy of protection that we are
indebted for industrial independence. TO
industrial independence we are indebted for
our marvellous trade balance. That trade
balance made specie resumption possible by
reducing the export of bullion from $50, OO0.-
900 year to So. 500, 900. A specie basis
which gives us raw materials as cheaply as
other nations obtain them enables US, with
our superior machinery, to compete success
fully with other nations in the production of
the results of skilled labor. Thus il appears
that the much-denounced theory of protec-
lions is one of the leading causes of the con-
ditions which seem to insure long period of
genuine prosperity. The bountful crop of
the last two years is another of the causes.

the assertion made by Mr.. Smith. before

words: II never made any offers direct

which they We're penned. No forgery
there, Mr.. Smith, and you will not say
there is since you have looked at the per-

The second point is that the writing"
discloses beyond peradventure the will
ingness of Mr.. Smith to sell out his party
for the Governorship. Indeed he must
have been far more than willing-
he must have been exceedingly anr-
ions to negotiate; for if any
