THE Maine Standard warns its readers
that ''the ring managers are endeavoring to
cast ridicule on the Greenbackers by send
ing lunatics into the field as Greenback lee
turers." Most of these lunatics have Gre
dentials from Greenback committees. 1t is
surprising to see the Standard join the Ne,c
Era in denunciations of the ring that con-
trolled the Greenback State Convention.

TERMS $500 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE.

THE Bangor Commercial says Secretary
Sherman forgot to say that one reason why
the four per cent. bonds sold so rapidly was
because the bonds We're ''not taxable'' The
Commercial is right in saying that that is one
reason why bonds bearing so low interest
were taken. If the bonds were taxable the
Government would have to pay larger
interest, large enough to include the tax.
What then would be gained by taxing them?
The money collected by tax would have to
be paid out again in interest; and in add-
ton we should have to pay the cost of col
lecting the tax. The statement made by the
Commercial shows the absurdity of the de-
mand for the taxation of bonds.

in publishing Secretary Sherman's speech
before it was delivered.
The Portland daily press., 1879-07-26

ELLSWORTH american: The honest
Democrats are coming out for Davis. Two
in this county, who have heretofore been
leaders in the old party, have recently come
out and declared for Davis. All those who
prefer to vote for principles rather than sac
rifce all principles for the sake of policy,
will follow their example.
The Portland daily press., 1879-07-26

THE Springfield Republican finds Secre-
tary Sherman's speech "a triumphant cele-
bration of the policy of resumption as extri-
eating us from the collapse following upon
imitation, and as giving opportunity for the
revival of material interests, and an indorse-
ment of the present Republican attitude of
defiance to the purposes of Democratic lead
ers. The financial reasoning of Mr.. Sher-
man is conclusive and his whole attitude in
the present canvass one of strength, es-
pecially in a State like Maine, where the
Greenback party has now nothing but
name to cling to, and where the Democracy
never could have sympathized very heartily
with the policy pursued by their party at
Washington. As speech for campaign
consumption, and uttered by the Secretary
of the Treasury himself, it will be likely to
bring back to the Republicans many thous-
and votes in Maine"

John A. Dix went to war and was a good
soldier He was made Governor of New
York. Under his administration the State
tax was Sl5, ,727 ,4S2.0S. Samuel J. Tilden did
not go to war. He was made Governor sue
ceeding Gov. Dix, and he reduced the burdens
of the people to the tune of 81 ,941, 1854 This
only shows that it is not absolutely necessary
that man shall be a great soldier like can
didate Davis in order to make good Cover
nor Bangor Commercial
THE incorrectness of this statement made
by the Commercial has been repeatedly
demonstrated. The red uction in the State
tax came from the payment of the bounty
debt with money provided by the Republican
administration preceding Tilden's. The
sinking fund set aside by Republican for
purposes like that was dissipated by Dem
ocratic administration, and Dix had to re-
placeit by taxation. The sum Dix leftin the
treasury gave Tilden the opportunity of
making his show of economy

Gut Gold Dust-How They Manage Their
Mining Operations and Dispose of the
product-Etc.
While going his rounds on the lode
yesterday, Ne,cs reporter noticed several
squaws apparently busilY engaged in
oaboling in small pools of water made by
oamming up the waste water from the
standard mine. Knowing that water is
not congenial element to the noble red
man as general thing, the reporter ap-
preached nearer, to see what the per-
Torrance meant. A closer view showed
that they were banning out gold dust.
Some of the squaws were quite expert,
handling pan like an old gulch miner.
The reporter tried to engage some of
them in conversation, but met with
silent rebuff at every attempt. One of the
squaws finished washing out a pan Of dirt
while the reporter was present. A small
quantity of very fine gold, mixed up
with sand, remained in the pan after the
dirt had been washed off. From some
hiding place in her tatters she took out a
pice of buckskin with a small amount OF
gold and black sand tied No in it, This
she united, placed in it the dust she had
Just PANIED out and returned it to its
former hiding place among her rags
Looking around to see where the dirt
came from, several Indian braves and
boys were observed digging and scratch
ing in the old DUMPS lying near by. The
braves get the dirt and the squaws do the
panning out. A fair division of labor,
except that the braves take all the dust
after it is PANIED out These sharp
eyed sons of the sage-brush can tell q
