Major Cslkins occasionally poses as the
friend of the workiDgmen aud lsboring
classes. He is all things to all mentor

comet from Maine that recently splurgcd

we have Mr.. Calkins' record on this point,
made at time when the manufactures Of
the country were idle; when the wages of
many employees were reduced to starvation
prices; when their families were suffering
for the necessaries of life; when they were
congregsted together in sore distress, aud
lifting up their voices for relief. This was in
1877, aud Mr.. CslkIns made the following
record as member of Congress. [See Con-
