TRuNKEYyILLE, Jan. 8, 1879

AhO"h z AiSI1Lj ONH' y, 49,
Ed. FOREST REPUBLICAN,
Dear Sir II
thought it would not be out of the
way, SO give you the sad news Of a
fearful sickness which struck down
three of Mr.. f. L. Jones children,
two boys and one girl; all three died
on the first day of January, 1879. The
disease was diphtheria in the most
malignant form. Nothing was left
undone which parents could do, and
SO far they can rest easy. One more
of their children, promising young
lady, and teacher of our school, is
very sick, but hopes are entertained
that she may survive. The three
children, Howard aged about 10 years,
Frand about 8, and Edith about 4,
were healthy and promising, and the
sudden death has cast a gloom, not on
ly on their own family, but over the
whole neighborhood. The family has
the sympathy of all, and may the
Lord give the afflicted parents and
relatives strength to bear this sad af-
Fiction. Respectfully,
j. PETERSON.

Figures that don't Lie.

A paper in Oxford County called The New
Religion, which devotes more of its space to
politics than religion, is highly delighted with
Eben F. Pillsbury's speech in that County in
relation to State taxes, appropriations, expen-
ditures, etc., and thinks it will be impossible for
the Republicans TO balance Pillsbury's figures
''with the story of resumption, the Southern out
RACES, and the want of principle on the part of
the Democrats in joining the Greenbackers." 1t
confidently asserts also that 'fgures tell true
story, especially when they are added up as they
should be-" Now, as the editor of The New Reli-
gion has such great confidence in figures, we call
his attention to the following article from The
Honest Truth, in which are some figures which
we would like to have him examine and give
us his opinion concerning them:
After all the loud professions of economy and re-
duction of the Peoples burdens the Greenback-
Democratic Legislature ended by levying a State
tax $40 900 larger than the average tax levied by
the Republican Legislatures for the four preceding
years. We give the official figures of the annual
State tax each year for fifteen years from the close
of the war in 1865 down to 1879 inclusive. Here

MAINE, which the Greenbackers tell us is
poverty stricken and fast going to the devil
probably basing the latter prediction on
the Leaders estimate that the GIeenback
vote will be doubled this Fall-presents a
pleasant and prosperous appearance to
Western eyes. A correspondent OF the
Cleveland Herald writes:
Maine is one of the most attractive States in
the Union. 1t has hardy, industrious,
intelligent population. Some Of its towns and
cities are among the most prosperous and
wealthy in the country. Its farms and farm
houses are models of dignity and comfort. Its
coast scenery is scarcely surpassed in the world
for variety, grandeur and romantic beauty.
Maine is the genuine "down East so often
mentioned as the abode of the simon
pure Yankee, the real typical "Uncle Sam"
But the identical fellow of our imagination is
no longer to be seen. The people look, talk
and act like the rest of the world, and save
that perhaps there are fewer dram shops, less
drunkenness, more church spires and fewer
police stations than in some parts OF our IA
vored land, Maine compares favorably in the
appearance and manners OF her population with
all other inhabitants of Yandeedom. But the
Yankee pedler of ancient days still exists in all
the pride and glory of his honorable calling.
His magic tongue and cheek of brass, his mar
vellous collection of mysterious wonders, his
honeyed voice and winning ways, are still
found here as fresh and welcome as ever. One
of the fraternity is at this moment unfolding
his wares. A group of women are kneeling
or sitting around him. How blandly he smiles
as he draws the red calico tenderly across his
arm, displaying its brightest tints in the sum
shine How soft and persuasive his manner,
gentle his tones, and innocent his look as he
measures off with his ready yard-stick guam
tity of the stuff to the eager purchaser. He is
man to be envied. The possessor of all the
glittering wealth in those great tin boxes, the
welcome visitant to hundred homes, at once
the benefactor and the comforter of his race.

An AUGrsrA correspondent of the Bos-

An AUGUSTA correspondent of the Bos-
ton Advertiser says that the Republican
canvass in Kennebec is notable for interest
and enthusiasm ''Day by day shows addi-
tional gains to the Republican side. In
the town of Winthrop, thirty who went off
in the Greenback craze last year, return to
the fold wiser politically; in Gardiner Is; in
Waterville, 40; and so on in less numbers in
other towns. l think it will be within
the bounds of modesty and truth to claim
that this county will go Republican by a
majority of from 1,5OO to 1000" He adds:
Calculating from the returns 1 already have
which at this stage of the canvass are neces-
sarily meagre,-I should judge that the Re-
publicans will carry their ticket in every
county in the State, with the exception OF
Knox and Somerset, and possibly Lincoln and
Waldo. In this estimate l have taken into
account the probable fact that there will be an
amalgamation of the opposition in most OF the
counties. But we gain far wider range and
arrive at more gratifying results, when we
take view of the contest throughout the en-
tire State. The Greenbackers and Democrats are
straining every nerve; have flooded the State
with papers and speakers, and apparently have
plenty of money to use, in their efforts to
maintain their postion but they find that the
arguments that influenced the people last year
fail to hold them now.
Another ally to the Republicans and the last
1 shall name is the gradual return of more
prosperous times Business men will not be-
fieve the Greenback stories of starvation when
they seek in vain for unemployed labor. Con-
versing but yesterday with large lumber man
ufacturer he remarked that he had double the
orders he could fill with the present capacity
of his mills All our cotton factories are run
ming on full time, the shoe factories are doing
good business, the shipyards are not entirely
silent or deserted and every branch of industry
is feeling the magic quickening OF better times
horizon darkens. We don't find the Green
hackers at all enthusiastic they are not boast
ing about prospective majority for Smith
This correspondent estimates the entire
vote at 135, 900, of which Davis will receive
10000 and so be elected by the people.

Davis and the Public Debt.

Corporal Davis is ambitious. Not content
with showing, in his fashion, that Gen. Cham
berlain knows nothing about constitutional law,
and the rights of the States, he must ueeds
proceed to show that Secretary Sherman knows
nothing of finances. In his speech at Halo
we'll the other day, he stated that the amount
of annual interest ON our bonded debt has been
reduced $67 100000 since the war; Sherman s
report Of 1873. page II, shows that we. paid
ST., 1895, 10000 in 1865. Therefore, according to
Davis statement the amount of interest paid
by this government per annum is about ten
millions. But on the same page of the same
report, Sherman shows that in 1878 the amount
of interest paid by the Government was S1O2,-
$50 0,S1415. On the whole, Corporal Davis had
better stick to his "war record After all,
that seems to be his "best holt. Lewiston
Gazette.
THE Gazette is speaking of the fiscal year
1865, and Mr.. Davis of the calendar year.
Mr.. Davis is right. Sherman's report of
1878 does, it is true, give the the interest on
the public debt at 81, 1896 900, at the close Of
the fiscal gear, June 80, 1865. But in order
to pay all the bills which called for immedi-
ate settlement the Government went on
borrowing and issuing its bonds, SO that by
August 81, 1865 the interest charge had in
creased to S15O,977, ,697,S7. The Gazette
will find these figures in the "Analysis Of
the Public DEBIT" issued by the Treasury
Department, July 1, 1870 The interest
paid by the Government in 1878 was .S1O2,-
$50, ,91415, as the Gazette states; but it omits
to add, that the total interest charge has
since then been decreased to $50, ,773, 1850.
On the whole Corporal Davis had better
stick to the public debt. He has got good
holt on that. His comrades will look out
for his war record.

CANDIDATE SMITHS next friend, Major
Folsom, admits that those memoranda were
written by Smith, but argues, with more in
genuity than ingenuousness, that, like Mr..
Toots's letters, they are of no consequence.
However, it is not Major Folsom, it is Major
Smith. the neOple want to hear from.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1879-08-11

MAJOR FOLSOM, rallying to the defence
of Candidate Smith, says he believes those
memoranda are correctly published. He
lodges the question whether they are or are
not in Major Smiths handwriting The Bos-
ton Journal says they are and signed with
Smiths initials. Candidate Smith himself
said in the Commercial interview, held be
fore the memoranda were published, that if
the Republicans claimed to hold any writ
ings from him the writings were forgeries.
Does he stand by that statement now? Leu
him sneak I'D like little man.
