The Free Trade Blow at the Inter.
ests of Maine.

Mr.. Reed, the republican candidate tor
Congress in the first district, in his speech
at the York County Convention. the other
day, referred to the action of the free
trade democrats inimical to the interests
of Maine, as follows:
The majority of the democratic party in
Congress is 10 favor of free trade, or an ap.
Proclamation thereto. That majority in eau
Gus elected as Speaker one who was in sym
patty with them. That Speaker appointed g
Committee of Ways and Means which had
charge of all tariff questions. They present
ed two different bills for action on the parl
Of the House. These bills both of them
menaced the interests of the people of the
State of Maine. These bills put the products
of the farmer, his hay, his potatoes and and
everything he raises. with few exceptions
upon the free lis Had these bills passed
they must have been the greatest blow which
the farming interests in the State of Maine
could have received.
Thew proposed to put lumber on the free
list. That was a blow at our forests. They
proposed to put fish on the free list. Tha
was a blow at our coasts. and peculiarly
cruel blow. We have just abrogated the
treaty of which the Canadians, as you can
judge from the efforts since, were exceeding
lv fond. They desired our markets for theiI
fish. Our fishermen caused the treaty to be
ahrogated because they wanted our markets
Fish free of duty m 'ans the control of our
markets. Fi-h with duty upon them means
our markets for our fishermen. The Cana.
dams were willing and they would be willing
tn day to give us all the fisheries about whct
the squabble is now going on, provided they
could have our market tree, and vet the Com
mittee on WAYS and Means organized by 8
democratic House proposed to give them oul
mark for nothing. What they were ready
to pay for our democratic brethren wer,
ready to fling to them, but that bill did no
pass. and it did not pass because a certain
number of democrats voted with the repubi
an party Yet those bills still remain on th'
calendar as a standing menance against tbs
| industries OF this State. II ia for YOU to care

ceedings and bring in your verdict.

The Fisheries Outrage.
WHAT COLLECTOR MUTT OF EAsrPoRr Has TO
SAY OF FISHING TROUBLES NEAR HIS Lo
CALITY.

Collector Mutt of Eastport has been inter
vscinty. He says:
We have been so far kept along without
any rupture between sardine packers and
their Canadian neighbors who have supplied
them with herring. We have no end of an.
noyance, and it has taxed all our ingenuity
to keep things going smoothly, but confess
cannot see how We are going to do it much
longer These lines are narrowing on us
every day. The Canadians are growing
more aggressive and troublesome.
That seizure of the Deer Isle fishermen q
boats by Canadian officer Bonpess was the
most outrageous act of all. Deer Isle is in
the provinces, but many of its fishermen are
technically American citizens. They wished
to bring herring from the weirs to our pack
ing companies in their small boats. Now. a
boat under five tons does not come within
the navigation laws, and is not subject to the
rules applicable to vessels under a liberal
construction.
So we allowed these men to enter their
boats ss merchandise and pay the duty on
them. Thus they became American boats,
and could bring herring into our port. They
were poor men. Many of them had their all
invested in these small boats. Although they
resided in Canada, we allowed them to do
this in order that they might make living.
Bonness came down here and told me that
he was going to seize these poor men 9
boats on the ground that when they
were taken back to Deer Isle no duty was
paid on them to the Canadian government,
although they had become American boats.
By this rigid Interpretation of law he made
them smugglers. told him that a govern
ment that would do this thing to these poor
men, living un er its own flag, was not fit TO
exist Bonuess is to Canada what special
customs officers were to this country under
the worst phases of the old money system
He gets large commission on whatever he
confiscates. He is robber and nothing
less.
What will be the next step. probably ?"
1--WE probably shall have to compel the
fellows across the line to paw duty on all the
herring they bring to our factories. We
move cautiously because we do not wish to
drive the Canadians into building packing
factories on Deer Isle, as that would take
away business from our own factories
lis there suy danger that the Esstport sar-
dine factories will be obliged to suspend
operations on account of these troubles p
"No, no. They are catching enough to
supply them in American waters now. The
fish have come TO our side in great ndmbers
within few days. They come down from
the Bay of Funday and strike the Canadian
shore first. you see"

Democratic County Convention.

The democratic convention of kenne-
bee county held Yesterday was the most
weakly convention held by the
democratic party in this city for several
years. The few delegates present were
destitute of animation or hope, They
went through the performance in the dull
est manner possible. The nomination Of
Capt. Black for County Attorney. the gen
eralissimo of GarceloH's forces at the
State House in the count-out, is sample
of the proceedings of the convention.
The convention offered the nomination to
other candidates who declined to accept it.
and finding itself bankrupt of candidates
worthy of the position passed the nomin
alton to Capt. Black. The resolutions en-
dorse the State platform, which it viii
be recoIlected endorses Cleveland's ad
ministration in general terms and de
nounces the River and Harbor Stea
which the President has recently signed
The State platform also opposes all sumpt
uary laws, including the prohibitory and
other laws to prevent intemperance. ane
this feature also is endorsed by the demo
Gratis of KeDnebec. This contrasts strong
ly with the action of the republicans
in their County Convention held Tues
day, in which they passed strong res
olutions in favor OF temperance and pro.
hiotion. If the third-party prohibitienists
desire to league themselves with party
boldly opposing prohibition to overthrow
a party that supports prohibition they can
make the attempt and learn later the folly
of their course.

Democratic Extravaganza.

Acting Secretary Fairchild has publish
ed in the Congressional Record ofthe 10th
some official statements which go to show
the extravaganza which reigns under the
administration at Washington. According
to this, the estimates for the current fiscal
wear amount to the enormous sum of $4,l,
5S3.477 and the appropriations are $685.
1860.
The new administration in the first year
OF its power asks appropriations for the
service of the government to the amount
of over S406. 500. 900 tor 1887 which is in
round numbers over S44 200, 900 in excess
of the estimated revenues for the same
year; in round numbers s75, 100000 more
than the total expenditures for the fiscal
year 1886. 1t further appears that the
appropriations for the year 1887 are. in
round numbers, 100000 more than
the expenditures for 1886. and the Secre-
,arv of the treasury tells us that they will
not cover the expenditures for 1887 by at
least SIS ,0Oo, 900 for refund of duties pay
able from the permanent appropriations.
Such beginning of its stewardship by
an ADMINISTRATION that came INTO power
on the cry OF reform and economy and
the extravaganza of the republicans is alb
solutelv astounding. What extravagance
such a party would run into If it had COM
plete control OF the government, it is i'm
nossible to tell. If it makes such a record
in its first year, what would it not do If it
had a long lease of power before it.

NTr. Harris Surprised.

WAsHINGToN, April 1.-Senator Harris
examination was resumed to-day by the
telephone committee. The witness stated
that he had never referred to Mi. Garland in
connection with the government suit from
the day he received DR.. Rogers suggestion
touching government suit. Without hav-
ing examined the question at ali, he did
not believe that with Mr.. Garland at the
head OF the department of justice, he would
have taken any action in the matter. Wit
ness was sure he would not if in MIR. Gar
lands place, and he had the same opinion
of Mr.. Garland as Of himself. He had no
sympathy with the idea of presenting any
such question to the attorney general, and
had had no conversation with him upon
the subject. Mr.. Ranney inquired if the
witness had done anything to secure Mr..
Garlands appointment as attorney general.
The witness replied that he had written
letter with that object, commencing Mr..
Garland to the president as an able and
very eminent lawyer. He had also recon-
mended the appointment of Gen. Joseph
Il. Johnston to the place he now held. Mr..
Hale called the witness attention to the
fact that the supplementary agreement he
supposed he had signed seemed to bind all
OF the stockholders, including Mr.. Garland,
to use all of their influence to secure the
Institution OF the government suit and
the employment of their lawyers by the
government The witness replied with
some surprise that he had no idea that they
had committed themselves in that matter.
Mr.. Garland knew nothing of it. Adj
journed.
