RICHMOND CAMP GROUND.
Woman's Day at the Temperance Camp.
meeting.

Especial to the Kennebec Journal.
RICHMOND. Aug. "a.
This is woman's day of the temperance
meetings. The morning devotional meeting
was led by Miss Esther Pugh of Ohio, an
officer of the W. n. c. T. L. Miss Pugh is
a ready and earnest speaker, land in her open
ing remarks appealed to her hearers to rely
on the righteousness and promises of God in
their efforts to rescue the inebriate and re-
store MIN to his birthright of free and upright
manhood.
At the close of the devotional exercises,
which were quite brief, the audience went at
once to the tabernacle, where Mrs. L. NJ. n.
Stevens, President Of w. c. I. U. for Maine,
presided. The first speaker, Mrs. Buell. OF
Conn gave a brief sketch of the rise and
progress of the organization of which she
also is an officer. Assaulted by prayer, the
rum power declined to yield, therefore more
perfect organization became necessary. At
first the objects sought were few, but going
forward in the way which God marked out,
they now reckoned thirty-four different de-
partments of work controlled by the Union.
No temperance literature has been found in
public schools or Sunday schools. The part
of wisdom is to fight the evil at its source.
and for this reason a strong effort is being
made to instll the principles of total absti-
hence into the minds of children everywhere.
The first speaker at the afternoon meeting
was Mrs. Emily c. Mclaughlin of Boston,
Mass, who urged the necessity of every one
who is opposed to dram-shops, voting and
laboring for their determination. When we
have secured the necessary laws we must
place only such men in office as will execute
them In the speakers opinion the women
of Maine had not been fully awake to their
duties in the temperance work. Had they
been fully awake during the past twenty
years, much more might have been done in
driving the liquor traffic from the State. No
law, unaided by earnest and constant effort
can wholly eradicate the evil against which
We have enlisted. Cider and lager beer must
not be tolerated in our homes they must go
In conclusion Mrs. Mclaughlin said Put
the prohibitory law in the constitution, and
silence forever the statement that prohibi-
ton is failure in Maine

Political Notes.

Reports from Indiana show widespread
disaffection among the democrats. The Chi
cago Journal gives long list of prominent
men in the party who refuse to be included
in the sell-out to the liquor dealers.
Gen. Weaver, the late greenback candidate
for President. gives as a reason for taking the
stump in Maine for the Plaisted ticket that
the democrats have accepted, not only tn.
greenback candidates, but the greenback
principles.
The distinguishing feature of the Iowa
democratic platform Is its hostility to prohi
bitieu and protection. So the party will go
into the campaign as the advocate of free
RIM for everybody and low wages for work
ingmen.-T Tribune.
The Argus knows all about the indepen-
dent movement 1t says: ''It is the first
direct, courageous blow aimed at the ring and
it will be effective. 1t will result in the re-
form of the party and its organization under
new leaders" That will do for the first les
son.
The record of the republican nominee,
Col. Robbie. is before the people. No stain
upon it so far as l can learn. Such a man
representing republican principles, ought to
receive the hearty support of a majority of
the people, especially those of the Young men
who vote for the first time.-W. A. w. IN

ter read communication from the wine and
spirits society of New York, asking for re-
iuction in the duty of imported wine to 81. 10
per gallon. on rum and gin to 81, on still
wines from forty cents to sixty -hve cents
The present statute levyiny duties. said the
paper is the result of an error in the COM
pilatiop of the revised statutes. BY the work
ing of the present statute the United States is
kept from the enjoyment of old brandies in
their original perfection.
A letter from Norman d. Simpson of New
York was also read relating to irregularities
in the tariff.
John G. Brown was the first gentleman
who appeared from Boston and said he would
like TO speak on the iron duties which he
said at present provides different rates for
different sizes of iron. He would recon
mend the passage of law which would pro-
vide for some specific duty on all the species
and like descriptions of iron.
L. f. Gates of Cambridge also appeared in
relation to the tariff on iron. He said that
we cannot at present build an iron steamship
ference in the cost now is at from 10 to Is
per cent against American ship-builders.
Mr.. Charles p. Lorilard spoke against
any reduction on the subject of duty on gold
leaf, and said at the present time working
men are making only fair living. the aver
age wages being from Sl3 to SIS per week.
Should the tariff on gold leaf be reduced it
would throw the men out of employment.
The witness stated furthermore that in Bos-
ton only 20 men were employed, and the
number in the country would not exceed 500.
Mayor Brothers sent paper recommend
ing a reduction in the duty on cherry juice
from 25 per cent. ad valorem to II cents per
gallon. which it is estimated, will materially
reduce the duties received by the govern
ment.
&. II. Foster { Co.. presented communi
cation asking for change in the duty Of
mohair, plush and wall upholstery goods,
from 30 per cent and 80 per cent. to 81 per
pound, which would make government re-
ceipts about the same as now, and the rea-
son given is to prevent under valuation.
A number of communications filling out
the blanks sent by the commission were re-
ceived this afternoon from New York firms,
recommending a revision of the trrff in
specific matters dealt in or owned BY the re-
spective houses.
Shortly before II o'clock the commission
went into executive session, to which the
public was not admitted, and at one o'clock
adjourned the general hearing to two o'clock

except in southern Vermont and the north
ern part of Berkshire county, where it has
been comparatively little felt. The greatest
damage has been done to corn, which will be
