What Makes a Man Ashamed.

Mr.. EDrToR:-I don't claim to have studied
the subject of finance in all of its details. In
deed will admit that the question of how to
make absolute money out of nothing is too
much for me- There are two matters that l
can understand, for they came under my own
personal observation, indeed paid for the in
formation. The matters were the beauties of
an irredeemable paper money and the Bland
silver dollar.
Some years ago before the Republican party
had secured resumption the writer had oc-
casion to visit the province of New Brunswick
and had to get greenbanks exchanged for
Dominion money. 1 can truly say that L
never felt greater modification in my life
than when the brokers in St. John handed me
their homely bank bills and demanded one
dollar and fifteen cents of our money for a
dollar of theirs The question of the difference
in the money to myself personally never en-
tered into my head; but as an American
citizen it cut me to the heart to think that our
bills backed by our bonds were not as good as
the Province bills not secured by anything
but the stockholders of their banks. Well,
resumption came. This year visited the
Province again and found, thanks to the
Republican party, our bills are as good as
gold How was it with the Bland silver
dollar? They would pass only for eighty cents.
When 1 returned to this city went to hear
Scion Chase. He stood before an audience of
laboring men and told them that every man
in this country who wanted to make the
Bland dollar worth as much as an English
paper dollar wanted to put fifteen cents into
the bankers pocket. L thought if the men
before him should be paid that night a hum
bred dollars each for their hard work and
leave for st. John, arriving their the next day
and upon marching up to a store OF hotel and
offering the Bland dollar in payment for any
debt they would find whose pocket the twenty
cents upon dollar came out of. 1t would
not be the bankers pocket but their own.
There is no enemy greater TO the laborng
pocket than initiation Of paper money and
dishonest silver dollar Yet these men who
are advocating these initiation measures and
debased dollar claim to be the friends of the
laboring men; claim that they have mastered
the whole subject of finance: that Hamilton,
Gallatin, Jackson, Webster, Benton, Clay,
Marcy, Guthie, Woodbury. and other great
men were set of ounces, and that Elliot
King, Col. Montgomery, John M. Todd and
Edward III. Cove are the simon pure States
med of this country. If such nonsense can
succeed in this State the people will say and
Justly too, let us abandon our free schools for
they produce nothing but downright stupidity.

State of Business,

A reporter of the Bangor Wing has been in
terviewing the business men of Bangor with
the following result:
Mr.. Parker of the firm of Parker & Peakes,
shoe dealers, who was first called on said that
up to the present time their business has been
about one-half larger than last year. They
are now employing eighty hands and have all
they can do all of the time. They commenced
work the first of the season with fifty hands
and have averaged about sixty ever since they
started. Early in the season they received
some very large orders and with their large
crew have them nearly filled; but the small
orders are coming in as fast as they can take
care of them, and there is every indication that
the business will continue good until the end
of the season. Since the first of July they
have been making boots only and are turning
out from twenty to twenty-five cases day. On
referring to his books Mr.. Parker said that
since the first of January they have turned out
about 1882 cases, making about 5000 dozen
pairs of boot and shoes, and that up to the pre-
sent time they had manufactured 800 more
cases than they did during the whole of last
year. AS regards wages;he said that the most Of
his help worked by the piece and they did not
reduce their pay any last year, as they were
now getting the same; but those that worked
by the day had been increased from one to two
dollars week.
After leaving this establishment the reporter
next called at E. A. Buck & Co.'s manufac-
Buck busly engaged in his office. This con-
Germ have occupied their present quarters
about two months and in time will have every
thing in first-class condition, as they are add
ing new machinery all of the time, and will
probably employ from eighty to hundred
hands next winter. They get their power from
Dole Brothers establishment on Hammond
street. In reply to question as to how his
business this year compared with last Mr..
Buck said that it was much better now than it
was then, and that there was no trouble about
the business of the country if the currency was
only let alone. They manufacture brogans
mostly and commence about the first of Novem-
Der and run ON them until the first of June.
Last year they received their last order June
29th and this year they received an order yes
terday and are now running on their orders for
brogans, which is an unheard of thing with
them, so late in the season. They commence
on moccasins about the first of July and run
on them until the first of January, cutting and
fitting them in the factory and then sending
them out to be made by people living in the
suburbs of the city. Although this is the quiet
part of the season with them, Mr.. Buck is feel
ing in excellent spirits, and is well pleased
with the outlook for business when they start
on their fa1 trade

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
MISS DODWELL's CONCERT.

MISS DoDwELL's CONCERT.
The tickets for the concert complimentary to
Miss Dodwell are ready this morning at Stock
BRIDGES, and judging from frequent inquiries
and other signs of popular interest, the
sale of tickets will be large and speedy.
No words of introduction are need
ed to commend Miss Dodwell to the
favor of the music-loving public of Portland;
her satisfactory connection with the First Par
ish choir, and her occasional appearances in
concerts, have won for her cordial esteem, and
pleasant place among our best musicians. To
the gift of rich and expressive contralto voice
and a nature genuinely musical, Miss Dodwell
adds enthusiasm and application, and has rap
idly advanced in her art by means of the in
struction of Mr.. bennett and the choir prac-
tice under Mr.. Kotzschmar's direction. This
complimentary concert was offered to Miss
Dodwell by Miss Annie Louise Cary-always
ready with cordial aid for young singers in
whose future she has confidence. Miss Cary
will sing two solos, one of them, probably, Mr..
Arthur Sullivan's fine and serious song "The
Lost Chord" Mr.. W. HI. Beckett of New
York, whose rich baritone and admirable style
are well known here; Mrs. C. X. Halves So
prano, and Mr.. Will Stockbridge tenor, both
favorite Portland singers will assist in the con-
cert. 1t is Miss Dodwell's intention to leave
Portland early in October, and after visiting
her family in Halifax, she will sail for Europe
to have the advantage of lessons in singing
from Signor Vannucoini in Florence, and
Signor Dele Sedie in Paris
