Free Homes for Free Men,

The republican party has a bright rec
ord in the matter of providing lands and
homes for the poor and deserving class of
our people. 1t has the honor of passing
the homestead act which provided gen
erous means for settlers in the West to
obtain farms and homes The Chicago
lnter-Ocean gives the record upon this
whole matter in a recent article as follows {:
"ln 1889 a homestead bill was passed in
the House by vote of l20 to rs. every
republican except one voting tor the bill,
and every southern democrat, except
three. voting against the bill An attempt
to bring the bill to vote in the Senate
was defeated by the democrats.
In the House in March, 1860, Mr.. Love-
Joy reported the homestead bill, and after
several days it was passed by vote of
lis TO 65 All the affirmative votes except
one were from the free States. and all the
negative votes except one were from the
slave States. The Senate adopted sub
stitute and conference committee finally
agreed upon bill. which was passed
The bill went to the President (Buchanau) =.
and on the 23rd of June he returned it
with his veto.
This bill gave to every settler 100 acres
of land. STIMULATING that he should live
upon it five years and receive deed on
payment of twenty-five cents per acre
The Presidents objections were that the
bill was unconstitutional in that it virtual
/ " gave away the public lands that it was
unjust because it conferred boon on cul-
tivators of the soil that it was unfair be-
cause 1t treated new settlers better than
older ones had been treated; aud that it
was unjust to the old States.
This WAS the action of the last demo-
cratic administration. In the campaign OF
1860 the issue was squarely made The
republican platform adopted at Chicago
declared;
I'VE protest against any sale or alienation
| to others of the public lands held by actual
settlers ard against any view of the home
stead policy which regards the settlers a.
paupers or suppliants for public bounty; and
we demand the passage BY Congress of the
complete and satisfactory measure which has
slresiy passed the House"
The bill AS it passed the House omitted
the price of 25 cents per acre, the settler
paving only the registry tees. One OF the
battle cries of the campaign of 1860 was
Free land for free men," and although
the republican Executive and Congress
were embarrassed by the war, the home
stead bill of 1860 was III 1862 improved

THE DESIGNATION.

Ye are better than all the ballads
That ever were sung or said,
For ye are living poems,
And all the rest are dead.
Children, Longfellow.
Baby Blaine my heart Is sad,
Once you made household glad,
But did death come in thine eye,
And beneath the sweet blue sky,
Did thy mother lay thee there,
And thy father. too, was there,
And their tears were all for thee,
Baby Blaine that death made free.
In the Stanwood lot you lay,
Hidden in the flowers, they say,
Near the grave of dear old grandpa.
Near the grave of dear old grandma.
And amid the fiowery vines,
whitest marble bearing lines,
Told the day and date you died.
Baby Blaine, in howery pride.
Thirty years you lay at peace;
Did the yandals come from Greece!
Did they come frem fallen Rome?
And 10 desecrate q home,
Raze the letters shining there,
Making bastard what was fair,
IHegitimdte.'
Baby Blaine in hottest state?
o memorial DER the dead,
Like Memnon softly shed,
In sweet music's tranced tone,
who that shamed thy hallowed stone;
Else thou mourneth in thy face,
Telling in thy holy place,
Naught when death had sweetly made
Baby Blaine to droop and fade
That darling baby boy,
Pure of every base alloy,
In among the summer flowers,
Dead by more than earthly powers,
Should AT last be branded there,
Even false as he was fair,
But the victim of brain
Caring not for Baby Blaine
Mother what bard may say,
May not take the pain away;
But, when little Baby Blaine
Went so sweetly DER the main,
Did you think the little mound,
Fen to you such hallowed ground,
Vandal hands would there profane,
Baby dust of Baby Blaine?
q, the pity! But to you
Never such baby grew
Yet the towards wandered there,
Trespassed on the flowers fair,
And when hope was all your own,
Chiseled birth-d from the stonel
Vandals daring to prOfane

A Few Reasons Why the Augusta, Maine,
Edition Will Outsell All Others
Ten TO One.
LIST. Because il is the authentic edition published
from Augusta. the home of Blaine, and has had the
advantage OF the most complete knowledge OF MS
whole life.
I'd. Because MIR. Blaine and his friends cooperat-
ed wit the author and publishers in order that the
work might be most complete and correct In all
particulars.
Sd. Because Col Conwell is better fitted for writ
ing such volume than any other man in America;
all his earnestness, knowledge, and ability will be
found in the volume
4th Because in its manufacture Il Is the largest,
best, and handsomest book ever published for the
price that il is sold for. Let think of work
ing for any other edition; never do for one dollar
what you just well receive $1,000 for; you can
sell ten books of the Augusta edition where yoa
would hardly sell one of any other.
5th. Because volume is pictorial biography,
and illustrates the most interesting scenes In the
life of the candidate. Our volume is splendidly
illustrated
9th. Because the author has visited the scenes
of the early life of the distinguished and
familiar with the career Of the boy and youth. from
the statements of those still living there, who knew
him them this is intensely interesting portion of
the volume.
