A MAINE FATHER.
He Trades HOrses with His Son, Much
to the Latter's disadvantage.


to the LAtter's Disadvantage.
From tie NortOdy dUersiser.
This is how an old gentleman proved to his
son that be was not so old as his father. The
father had bought ''dooryard horse" good
looking enough. but worthless as q roadster.
He wanted to get rid of him, and so one day
he put a brad in the end OF his whip and
started for his sons. As he drove MO the
sons dooryard he stuck the brad into the
horse, knocked of his hat with his own hand,
came up TO the door flying and apparently out
of breath. The ann stepped to the door.
Father. what have you got there? he
asked. ~ have got the Devil, and l wish
somebody had him; he has about p lied
my arms out of the sockets. He is
worth $1,000 to any man if he can drive him.
but have got to be too old to drive such
horse as that" After the old man had been
rubbed with linament, and before he went IN,
his son offered to swap nice 500 horse for
the puller and to give 800 boot The old
gentleman traded, had some more IMMINENT
rubbed on his shoulders. and drove away.
Three weeks later the father visited his son
again. The father said to his son: How do
you like your new horse, George?" 'sFather,
how could You lie to me as you didF' ibid
YOU snOw you we're not so old as your father,

A Home Insurance Company.

There are in Georgia several insurance
companies which are quite successful,
and one Of them is remarkably pros
porous. They, however, do but a
very small fraction OF the i'm
mense insurance business OF the State.
Savannah, some years ago, had several in
surance companies. The last two closed
up their business probably because their
capital could be more profitably invested
in some other way. Some OF these local
companies also were affected dsastrously
by the war o. secession. AT any rate,
there are at present but three or four
companies in Georgia, none OF which is
in Savannah. Some of our business men
are discussing the adyissbillty of organic
ing a home insurance company, not in op-
position TO any OF the many foreign and
Northern companies represented here,
but simply as a means OF keeping a large
amount OF money, which now goes else
where, we'll invested at home. Such a
company, properly organized, could COM
mand a large business in Savannah.
There are large amounts OF money which
have been Withdrawn from trade on ac-
count Of the hard times. which doubtless
could be depended upon 70 assist in es-
tablisbing strong insurance company.

Mr.. Blainc's Speech.

The full text of Mr.. Blaine's first for
nal and deliberate utterance in the pres
ent campaign in his State, shows that he
gave no space to personal issues that he
laid down no new tests for the Republi-
can party and that he found public is
sues of Importance enough, to justify the
continued existence of great party de
voted to equal suffrage, to protection Of
American industry, and to promotion of
American interests. He raised at once
the questions whether or no the old diff
ferences between the Republican and
Democratic organizations have been adj
justed or, on the other hand, do the
American people now begin to see with
clearer vision the aims and intentions, the
methods and the measures of each party,
and are they waking to a new and more
earnest struggle over policies that are ir-
reconcilable, over measures that are in
herently and inevitably in conflict
In replying to these questions Mr.. Blaine
discussed the place of the doctrine of pro
lection in the politics OF the day the
course of the administration toward Can
ada in the fisheries dispute the policy of
the administration toward Mexico, and
the prohibition diversion from the Repub-
lican party. In regard to the first of these
topics he avowed that the policy of protec-
ton versus free trade is an issue shaped
and determined no longer by sectional
preference-but has become general and
misunderstanding distinct, well-marked
line of division between the Republican
and Democratic parties. In 1850 protec-
ton was brought into the presidential
campaign at a late day, and virtually with
no discussion. In the campaign of 1854 the
Republican party eagerly sought debate
upon the subject, but was met with am
biguous reply and conflicting response
That the protective tariff was an issue
could not be denied. Since that election
the Democratic party, forced by its sue
cess into the formulation of policies. has
declared its opposition to the doctrine
of protection. Upon that position il
must stand in the coming election OF
members Of Congress and in the next
presidential election. Two considera tions
were emphasized by Mr.. Blaine on this
subject First, the Importance of protec
ton to labor organizations, which have
thus far overlooked it in their declara
tons of principles and, second, the com
petition of Southern colored labor, de
prved Of the right to vote, yet by it:
cheap wages constantly tending to reduc,
the average rate of wages through tn,
country.
| The Maine statesman naturally devoted
! a large amount of his address to the fish
cries question, in which so many citizens
of his State are interested, and his re
marks constitute powerful arraignment
Burlington weekly free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1866-1928, 1886-08-27

of the course of the administration on
that matter. II any expected that he
would take the extreme ground in regard
to the action Of the State department
in its pending controversy with Mexico
they will be disappointed, On the con
trary he maintained that when the United
States agreed to accept arbitration as the
means of adjusting our difficulties with
England we came under bonds to the pub
lie opinion of the world to offer arbtra-
ton to any weaker power as the means of
settling difficulties in all cases where we
cannot adjus them by direct negotiation.
II we are not willing to accept that con
clusion we place ourselves in the disrepu-
table attitude of accepting arbitration
with IA strong power and resorting to force
with weak power. Refraining from
war ourselves we shall gain an influence
that will enable us to prevent war among
them-so that peace shall be assured and
perpetual on this continent.
Mr.. Blaine has been much called on to
define his attitude on the question OF Pro.
hibition. Without expressing any views
on the abstract question, he showed, with
force, that the political Prohbitionists
were simply allies of the Democracy, who
are everywhere opponents of prohibition.
They desire, he said, party of their own
just small enough to have no effect at all,
or if possible, just large enough to throw
the State into the hands of the Democratic
party, which has been as constant in its
hostility to prohibition rs the Republican
party of Maine has been constant in its
fidelity to prohibition.
The most significant omission in Mr..
Blaine S speech is of the living question
of civil service reform. On this sub ject
he was wholly silent.
