''hard on the farmer" we confess that we

Thursday pass an important bill known as
the "Arrcars of Pension Bill"
The amour, involved, and which will
during the next year be distributed to per
sons now in the pension roll in all parts of
the country in sums of from $500 to
$4,000, is estimated variously Mt from 90
to 30 millions Of dollars. A large increase
in the force OF the pension office will be
necessary, especially AS attorneys, who real
ly do half the proper government work in
pension claims, are not allowed to appear
in claims for arrears under this bill,
An intelligent Democratic writer of this
city says the present fight between the ad.
ministration and Senator Conk!ing over the
New York custom house nominations is
simply to decide whether the votes Of New
York state, IN the Republican convention
of 1880, shall he gwen % Conkling or Sec.
rotary Sherman. This is toonarrow view
of it. The process by which the Radical
party has been reduced from majority of
votes in nearly every northern state to n
minority in nearly every one OF them, was
the result, in part, of quarrc'S among its
leaders. The more We hay, or such quar-
rcls the better !fyour correspondent con,
trolled the Democratic vote h, Would 50
throw it, there being no question Of prin-
ciple involved as to keep alive the quarrel,
and let the Republican convention Of 1880

A statue Of surprising beauty,
Stands from other things apart
Within guarded, secret grotto
OF that labyrinth, the heart,
Through nights of oil the year the sweetest,
II stands with silent grace,
Unmindful whether light or shadow,
Falls across It's paid face,
Unmindlul II OF all the fragrance
Floating through the silent night,
Until across the dusky shadows,
Steals the rosy morning light;
Then It's lips breathe melody enchanting

EIGHT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
In 1856 the total valuation of the entire
property of Maine of all kinds was Just
800, 57,573 so that in deposits in banks and
in Savings-banks the people of the State
have added nearly thirty per cent. to their
wealth.
Citizens of Maine, think on these things.

the Republicans have given Maine.

From the Honest Truth.
The State of Maine in 1856 when
the Republicans came into Pow
er, and in 1873 at the close Of
the twenty-five years during
which that Party Governed the
State.
Figures give valuable instruction and it is
to figures that the Republicans appeal. They
ask to be judged by facts of record-not by
fancies and fictions of Grcenback- Democrat
ie haranguers who are now perambulating the
State, retailing the most grotesque assort-
ment of falsehoods that charatans ever set
out to pedde to eager listeners. As an offset
to ignorant and malicious misrepresentation
igufes-showing the steady and rapid growth
of the State of Maine in wealth during the
period Of Republican ascendancy.
In 1856, the year the Republicans gained
control of Maine, there were only ELEVEN
Savings Banks in the entire State In these
Savings Banks there were only 4,047 de-
positors, and the total deposits were less than
a million dollars-or. to be accurate, 1919
81 .S5-about SlS5 to each lcpositor.
In 1873, after twenty-five years of continu-
ous Republican rule there were FIFTY
NINE Savings Banks in the Statc-n which
the aggregate deposits were SOB, 73,-
1927. The depositors numbered H.
97S, showing an average of nearly $500
for net ,hnr ha
act, S207.
Thus in the twenty-five years of Republi-
can rule in Maine. the number of depositors
in Savings Banks increased from less than
5000 to nearly 7S,OOO-a gain of near
ly sixteen fold. The amount deposited in
creased from less than ONE MILLION to more
than TWENTY-THREE MILLIONS-an
increase of about Twenty-Five fold; showing
the remarkable result that although the in
crease in the number of depostors was If
teen fold, the increase in the amount deposit
ed was twenty five fold.
The increase in deposits of Savings Banks
during Republican rule represents an average
ofalittle over a miitiona gear for the entire
sents absolute gain and profit. 1t is not
something which people have withdraw from
other forms of investment but it is the net
and positive savings from thrift and industry
An ignorant Democrat once claimed in our
hearing that it was simply the deposits of the
old State Banks transferred to the Savings
Banks. TO this there are two answers
First, that the deposits in the old State Banks
in 1856 amounted to only S2,2iS, ,626, and
second, that all that sum was transferred to
the National Banks, whose deposits have been
vastly enlarged during the same years that
the deposits in Savings Banks were increas-
ing so enormously
In 1885, as we have already shown, the de-
posits in State Banks were 81 24S 900, In
1873 the deposits of individuals and surplus
in National Banks amounted to S,40O, 900,
showing a net increase over 1856 of Sc, 252,-
000 Adding these deposits of individuals TO
the deposits of Savings Banks and Won have
an aggregate of about S3I 500, 900 cash de-
posit of individuals in Maine in 1873, against
S3, 200, 900 in lS56--an increase from lit
tie over THREE MILLION DOLLARS to
largely over THIRTY-ONE MILLIONS.
Thus it seems that from 1856 to 1878 the
people Of Maine have increased their availa-
