At the Telegraph meeting last Saturday
night, the committee reported $50 o.
pledged for the project. II was decided
to push the enterprise, and during the
present week, all citizens OF Paris Hill
will be invited 10 subscribe. II parties
will make up their minds how much TO de-
vote to this object, and be prepared 10
sign at once, 1t will save the committee
large amount of talking and hard work.
Mr.. j. +. Stanley School Agent for this
district, has put three more rods through
the school house, so there will be no dan
ger of its falling during the coming term.
The frost OF last winter threw the west
end OF the building considerably, so that
all must see that a new school house will
be dema uded in the near future.

HARTFORD, April l7.-Isaac Richardson,
long n worthy resident OF Hartford, hay
ing two sons and two daughters, with the
aid OF their mother, gave the three Oldest
the benefit of good town and other schools,
had the happiness Of seeing them good
teachers. Both Of the daughters, having
married husbands who were reared In Sum-
ner, now are living with their families near
Colville In Washington Territory, and the
oldest son, Charles s., a student at Colby
University, thus leaving their parents and
younger brother on the old homestead.
Although they often hear OF the prosperity
OF their daughters, they, having no hope
OF seeing their daughters again In Maine,
have sold their wellmanaged farm, to the
regret of many who knew thei: worth, and
will soon leave TO accept OF the urgent re-
quest Of their children for home with
ihem.
Since the morning OF the eighth we have
had the best flow OF sap for the season.
Not often do we have nine days in sue
cession better weather for collecting and
converting the sap into extra syrup.
Owing to many having the whoopng
cough, in the Line District, the custom OF
many In the district for meeting on Fast
Day for social converse. including picnic
dinner, was not kept. The day proved 10
be the best OF the season for a good dow
OF sap, which made extra labor for many.
Many OF those who planted sweet corn
In this vicinity last spring and delivered
the corn at Buckhed canning factory, have
been told they would not only receive more
per can but be secured for the corn upon
delivery at the factory. Farmers as class
are fast learning how aud where 10 dispose
of their surplus crops.
The article OF friend j. y. |. in DEMO
Graf, nth, Is worthy Of peruSal. The
school OF experience brings to light much
truth. HARTFORD.

These figures appeal to everybody
who must pay taxes. and should be care
fully scanned. They can be verified by
the citizen at his home bY mere exam
ination of his tax-receipts. Taken in
connection with the fact that the debt
of the county was permitted to increase
steadily under the previous administra-
ton, and that the debt has been system
atlcally reduced under the present one.
by strict economy and vigilant care tor
the public interests, they show that the
present officials. who ask reelection,
have not only been honest, but that
they have been competent as well.
They tell US plainly that our officials are
gradually reducing our expenses, and
are eudeavoring to their utmost to re-
duce the burden of taxation. Compare
the levies Of the past few years with
that OF 1873. The combined rates of
1875 aud 1876 just equal it; that is, our
people in two years were required to
pay no more than in that single year
toward maintaining the business oi the
county. The levy OF 1873 for county
purposes Is more than three times as
much as that OF the present year; that
is, our county administration can now
provide tor all our needs ior three years
by the same levy which was made for a
single year in 1873. Can any county in
the state show such reduction as that?
Surely our affairs must be wisely and
economically managed.
Let US look at the result from another
stsndp int. Let US examine the eX-
pensrs OF the county proper during the
two regimes, omitting entirely the debt
feature. The figures are from the rec
ord. They were rs follows, giving the

The larger expense, last year, was
due to the greater number OF bridges
built, over twelve thousand three hun
dred dollars beng appropriated TO
roads and bridges, and to the fact that
under recent laws the counties have to
pay certain criminal costs formerly paid
by the state. Even then look at the
grand results. In seven years the re

| WORD TO THE TAX PAYERS OF
y LAFAYETTE COUNTY. ..

Next Tuesday, November 7th, the
people of Lafayette county will be
called on to vote for county officers.
This TACT should not be lost sight of In the
excitement as to the congressional or any
other election. There are great many
slogans being sounded Just now to rally
voters, some Of them upon issues settled
and dead these twenty years, and others
much Importance to the taxpayers Of
this county as last years almanac.
There Is no sort OF doubt in anybody's
mind that the entire democratic county
ticket will be elected, but we desire 70
give some good and substantial reasons
why the gentlemen upon it should re-
ceive the support OF others than demo-
neutrality-suspicious. and republicans
who desire tv indorse we'll doing.
To do this We shall cite s,me figures
and record some facts which We may
have mentioned iE the past, and the
enemies of the gentlemen whose cause
we advocate may cry out, 30, that am
mnnition is too old; it is no longer
serviceable." But II this ammunition
has been made for the benefit OF the
people, used in their interest. and fired
against their enemies 1t will continue to
answer, as long as those interests exist
as they do now, and until that enemy
is entirely and finally disposed OF.
What we h.ve to cay interests every
man who puts his hands 10 his pockets
to pay the taxes of the county. Our
statements shall be made from the rec
ords. and we invite the closest scrutiny
of them.
The republicans were in charge of
the county's finances in 1868, 1865, 1870,
1871. 1872, 1873 aud 1874; the demo-
crats have had control since. Let us
look at the levies for taxes during part OF
the time, They were as fOllows:-

THE FALSE CRY OF PROTECTING

seldom thinks of his own interests, so
busy is he in efforts to increase the
wages and happiness OF his employees.
He invariably insists that protection
raises wages, and as the main object OF
his life is to pay his employees as much
as possible. he is constrained to ask ior
little more protection in their behalf.
The wage question is at the bottom OF
the whole matter. according to these
ph hlanthropists. lt protection ls not
demanded as means Oi raising wages,
it is demanded as necessity to the
American manufacturers On the ground
that wages are higher here team 10
foreign countries. NJ better reiutation
OF the wages delusion has been made
than that of Professor Sumner, Of Yale
college, who appeared before the com-
mission the other day at Philadelphia.
lie discussed the subject in mastery
manner, and showed conclusively that a
protective tariff has no relation to high
wages in this country. In common with
AL lntelligeni thinkers, he attributed the
fact that wages are higher here than
abroad TO the competition for Labor con-
stantly sustained by our vast agrlcu'tu-
raj industry and Tree lands 1t Mr..
Sumner had tha figures at hand. he
might have showed that over IA .OUO. 200
acres OF public land have been taken up
within Il year, a large portion OF il by
laborers IN ected industries, who
have been driven out by small wages.
A, there are neary one billion acres of
land sill! unoccupied. the luborer has
an unlai ing reliei when wages reach a
point he is unwilling to accept. 1t is
clear enough to every body but the pro-
tectionist that this, and not his precious
system, is the cause Of high wages in
this country. 1t the commission has
been in doubt OH this poinL.it ought 10 lie
convinced by Professor Summers argu-
ment. 1t can hardly venture to urge
more protection on the plea that th,
tariff advances wages, and hence is
vitally important to the laboring men.
This may continue to be done by repub-
lican platforms, but the public will not
hear it from the tariff commission with
the smallest degree of patience.
