The great Lumber interest of Maine
is protected from . losing and destruc-
tive competition from the Canadian
forests by . judicious and equitable
duty on Canadian Lumber. The Dem
ocratic Platform proposes to strike
this protection down and deprive the
Lumber interest in Maine of one great
source of its profit to the whole Peo-
pie. Honest Truth" will give oil the
facts and statistics bearing on this
important ENTHUSIASTICALLY as to
its effect on the Laboring Man.
The Free Ships" demanded by the
Democratic platform is bold attempt
to destroy the Navigation Laws that
we're enacted under the Presidency of
George Washington. and have re-
NAMED on the National Statute Book
from that day to this. Under those
Laws the Shipy ards Of Maine have
been established, and tens Of Thousands
of Tons of Shipping are annually built
by Maine Capital and by Maine Me-
chanics. 1t is now proposed by the
Democratic Party that ships built on
the St. Lawrence and st. John shall
have equal privileges under the Amer
can Flag with ships built on the Pc
nobscot and the Kennebec.
This process throws open the Coast
ing Trade to ships of all nations.
From the formation Of the Federal
Government to this hour the cOasting
trade has belonged exclusively to
American built vessels. The Demo-
cratic Party now propose to surrender
the rights Of the American shipbuilder
and the American sailor. Honest
Truth" will expose this nefarious pro
ject in all its details, and our friends
in the shipbuildiDg towns on the Coast
will please see to the circulation of
the facts among the People.
These various assaults upon the
Rights and Interests of the North are
made by the Southern Free Trade De-
mocracy. The South conceded the
nomination for the Presidency of a
Northern Democrat, Loyal to bis
country during the war-but at the
same time exacted the sacrifice OF
great material interests Of the North
for the benefit of the South. The Re-
publicans have also nominated for the
Presidency a candidate distinguished
for his services in the war, aud repre-
senting in his own person every inter
est and every issue that are vital to
the Prosperity of the North. of New
England. of Maine.
