Lewiston and Auburn Manufac-
lures.

In sharp contrast with Gov. Garcelon's
message denouncing the protective system,
is the following from the Lewiston Journal,
showing how Lewiston and Auburn have
prospcred under that system. But for the
protective system they would to-day be but
small farming localities. What they are the
Journal tells as follows;
In 1873. all the srindles in Lewiston, (save
those of Lincoln Mild have been uninter-
ruptcdly running. II appears that there is
now invested in manufacturing enterprises in
Lewiston. seven and a quarter million dollars
mainly in the production of cotton goods.
There are 2s2, Is spindles in Lewiston, which
the past year have handled 81. 707 253 pounds
of cotton and made over 80, 100000 yards of
goods---enough TO girde the earth once and
then leave a surplus of FIVE thousand miles
of cloth.
There are now ten cotton mills and three
wooden mills in Lewiston, consuming 10000
tons of coal per year and using 4, 400 water
h. D. Only about one-half of the water pow
er has thus far been used There are en-
ployed in manufacturing 1904 persons of
whom there is an excess of 596 females over
males. The amount of money disbursed in
Lewiston in 1878 by manufacturers was near
ly B., 900 900. or S242, 800 per month--mainly
to working men and women.
The shoe manufacturers in Auburn did
about the same aggregate business in 1878 as
in 1877. The Improvements in machinery
have enabled manufacturers to produce AS
many goods rs ever with less help. About
three and one quarter million pair of shoes
were made in Auburn in 1877, and six million
pounds of leather consumed. There are four
teen shoe factories in the city, with capital
of one million dollars. In all kinds of man
ufactures in Auburn about two million dollars
is invested, employing 1876 hands, of whom
1850 are males and s25 females. $50 females
and 400 males are employed in the shoe
business. $4,000 per annum is the pay roll
of Auburn manufacturers, of which S637 200
is on account of shoes. The total value of
the manufactures of Auburn of all kinds for
1878 is three million four hundred thousand
dollars.

Those who propose to have the time OF
our State elections changed to November
ought to bear in mind that there is a bill
now pending in Congress. one of the pro-
visions of which is to change the time OF
holding the Presidential election to the
early part of October. Its quite probable
that if we hold on to our present time
ofelection-September-the Presidential
elections will be changed to that time, as
much better season on many accounts.
for that purpose, than November. Novem-
Der is not only an inclement month, but 1t
is found that more time than We now have
between the election for President and the
meeting of Congress would be adyan-
tageous; consequently there is a growing
feeling In Congress in favor of holding
the elections earlier in the year.
The Kennebec journal complains of Gov
Garcelon because he was a protectioaist in
1867, and free trader in 1879. and accuse.
him Of inconsistency. The Governor has
doubtless seen the evil effects Of protection
and on that account, changed his mind; and
thereby illustrates the difference between
himself and the average radical who peye,
changes his mind, even though convinced he
is wrong. unless ordered to do so by the par.

We don't complain of the Governor for
changing, but what puzzles us is that when
even free traders are acknowledging the sue.

1t does not speak well for the advocates
of biennial sessions that they mention in a
disparaging and sneering manner the hum
BILE interests which come before the legis-
lature with their petitions for aid. No
matter how humble these interests are they
are entitled to be heard with patience and
candor, and no scheme to curtail the rights
and privileges Of such petitioners should
receive any favor from the Legislature.
The best way for the State is to allow ev-
cry interest to be heard, putting no letters
upon the poor and humble under the false
plea of saving expense to the State.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1879-01-16

The sessions of the Massachusetts legis-
lature average about Us days; the men,
beers are paid salary of $3.50. The sessions
of the Maine legislature average about GO
DAYS, and the members have salary of
$3.50 for the session. The meagre pay of
our Legislators shortens the sessions to the
actual necessities of business. If change
should be made to biennial sessions, the
length of the sessions would necessarily
be increased, the present salary wonld be
superseded by per diem pay or a larger
salary and the expense OF legislation to
the State would not be lessened dime.
Annual sessions are a great convenience
to the people of the State. enabling them
to have needed legislation promptly, and
the pay of members is so small that it
compels to dispatch of business and the
best use of the time while the session lasts.
A careful examination of the question of
biennial sessions is all that is required to
show that such change would be detri-
mental to the best interests of the State.

Governor Talbot, Of Massachusetts,
whose message has been commended by
the democratic-greenback press for its
recommendations in regard to cutting
down State expenses. advised the reduc-
ton of the salary of Governor, and as his
salary could not be reached by the axe of
retrenchment, offered to make the salary
fixed for his successor the measure OF
what he should accept from the treasury.
Here in Maine every reform oflice-holder
is perfectly willing and anxious that the
salary Of every other oflice-holder should
be reduced. but opposed to any reduction

Comptroller Knox in his last report pub
lished tables showing the ratio of the cap
ital of the banks in the United States and
Great Britain to the liabilities. These have
now attracted attention in England. and in
formation received here is 10 the effect that
they have given rise to question whether
the proportion of banking capital to the
liabilities in that country is not unduly
small In view of the recent bank failures
in the United Kingdom this is very i'm
portant question to business men in that
country. The comparison made by Comp
troller Knox attracts attention there be-
cause it shows IA greater apparent stability
of the national banks in the United States
than of similar institutions in Great Britain.
While the ratio Of capital and undivided
profits to liabilities in the banks of Great
Britain from which reports are received is
only % 200 per cent. the ratio of capital,
reserve fund and undivided profits of the
national banks of the United States to their
liabilities is 81 73-l00 per cent.

Mr.. THOMAS Ew1sG, Familiarity called
Ton EWING, who attained the rank that
gave him the title OF Cen. EwfNG by his
services In the Union army during the war,
tho son OF the brave THOMAS EWrNG
OF other days, and now n member
OF the House of Representatives, who
has been nominated as the Democratic
candidate for Governor Of Ohio, may enter
tain fallacious notions Of financial questions.
and may speculate wrongly about soft
money, grecnbacks, bank currency, and biz
mctallism. But there is before the country
and Congress at this moment a question Of
infinitely greater Importance than any Of
these questions. Financial mistakes may
be corrected. and erroneous theories OF
finance cannot withstand reason and expert
ence. There is no danger that they will sub
vert the liberty OF the country or overthrow
the Constitution Of the fathers.
The question Of the times which over
whelms other questions is that involved in
the two bills passed 10y both Houses OF Con-
gress, vetoed by the Fraudulent President,
and again before Congress for It's action
the Army Appropriation bill, by which the
interference OF the army with elections is
-
and judicial Appropriation bill, by which
the control Of elections is taken out OF the
hands OF Federal Supervisors and Marshals.
Here is the very first principle Of freedom
and republican government, the principle
without which there can be neither freedom
nor republican government.
In the Ohio struggle. in which national
questions are brought TO the front, the man
who takes the right side Of that one Of them
which is supreme over all the others is tho
man who ought to be supported and elected.
irrespective OF other Considerations. and
the man who Is on the wrong side OF it
ought to be defeated, whatever party name
he may take
Gen. EWING stands firmly on the right
side-so we are assured. lie takes the
ground-so we are assurcd-that there must
be no backdOwn by Congress, no challenge
Of its control of the army, no surrender to
the dictation Of the Fraudulent President.
He has decared-so we are assured-that
he will never vote one dollar for supplies
to the army or anybody else. unless troops
are prohibited at tho polls and Federal
supervisors and deputy marshals are
abolished"
This is the true ground. By maintaining
it Mr.. LIVING merits the support OF the
whole Democratic party of Ohio, OF the
Greenbackers, and Of ali those Republicans
who can rise above party fogs into the light
of constitutional liberty. By maintaining
it he will deserve to be elected, and we are
confident that he will be elected. BY main.
tanning it he will command the respect Of
millions throughout the country who are
concerned in the maintenance Of free insti-
buttons, the preservation Of the right OF
suffrage, and the perpetuity Of republican
government

We are not surprised to learn that consld-
cradle opposition is apprehended, in the
Senate, to the confirmation OF GEORGE W.
McCRARY OF Iowa to he Judge of the Eighth
Judicial Circuit, in place Of JOHN f. DILLON,
resigned.
We do not understand that Mr.. Nc
CRARY's fitness in point Of ability is Ques-
toned; but, from his close Identification
with Mr.. HAYES, and especially with Mr..
HAYEss vetoes, he is regarded as entertain
ing notions Of constitutional law which it
would be very Objectionable to introduce on
to the bench
In these views we fully share. We should
be sorry to see any man made Judge Of
one Of our United States Courts who looks
upon it as proper for n President to block
appropriations for the support Of the Gov
eminent merely because they are coupled
with the condition that he shall not use the
army and the navy at the polls.
There would seem 10 be plain princi-
pie involved in this issue; and yet II it
should be squarely made with Mr.. HAYES
by the Democratic Senators, how long would
it be before some Of their number would
weaken before the Executive arguments and
surrender
The story OF an eel getting used to being
skinned SO that he came to like 1t, has com
monty been regarded as a fiction; but the
Democrats in Congress do appear to actu'
ally like being cowed and whipped.
