The Republican Advantage in
Maine.

II the Democratic House and the Demo
cratic Administration had devoted themselves
exclusively to making issues for the Republi-
better than they have done by carrying out
what they regard as the Democratic policy.
Both of MIR. Morrson's tariff bills appear to
have been framed to specially damage the
by Mr.. Morrison put lumber, hay, potatoes,
granite, etc, upon the free list, and should,
SO far as Maine Ia concerned, have been en-
titled "An act to discriminate against certain
Maine industries in the interest of Canada &"
But this did not seem to satisfy Mr.. Morri-
sons friends. Certain Southern industries
and the iron industry, in which Northern
Democrats are interested. were so adversely
affected by the measure that those interested
in them led Mr.. Morrison and his free trade
associates on the Ways and Means Committee
to make a new tariff bill in which the advan-
tsges accorded to the South and the iron
manufacturers were couuterbslanced bv a
further assault upon the industries of the
Eastern States, and particularly of Maine.
Not only were the duties on cotton and wooden
goods reduced, but wool and fish were added
to the free list, thus striking down two indus
tries in which hundreds of thousands of CAPT.
tai are inv sted and upon which thousands of
people depend more or less for a livelihood.
The vote OF the House showed that all except
few Democrats were in favor of the free
ship bill, which not only permitted free trade
in ships tor the foreign Trade but for coast
wise and internal traffic. This would have
been passed il it could have been called up
again. Ii was another blow directed at An i'm
purtant Maine industry. In fact, the law
making body of Canada could not have legis-
lated more wisely for the interests of Cans ada
and against those of Maine than would the
democrats in Congress Il the republicans had
not opposed solid front to these measures.
And il should oe remembered that all of these
measures were Endorsed BY the President and
that he used his influence so far as he knows
how to use it to bring about the passage of

Protection for Labor.


While the tariff commission was in ses-
sion in 1882, there appeared before that
body builder of the city of New York as
representative of the Independent Labor
Party of New York, demanding tariff
for the protection of American labor.
This representative stated that the organi-
cation to which he belonged advocated a
broad and liberal policy. good tor labor
ers, good for the prosperity of the whole
country, one that would foster and devel-
op our system of free schools, free press,
free church, and free ballot, also decent
homes good food and comfortable cloth
ing for working people. Some of the facts
upon which he based his claim for pro-
tective tariff were as follows:
That we are rich, prosperous. and
selfsupporting nation, possessed of all the
soil, climate and natural wealth required
for the use and sustenance of all our peo-
pie that we are or could be perfectly in
dependent of all foreign exchange OF
goods. food. or money. and that our pres
emit exchange between the United States
and Europe is at the cost and loss of the
American people.
That to develop our own resources,
make our own exchanges, and fill our own
markets, would employ all the energies
of our people. and would be better and
more profitable trade than that with pau
per nations.
That to eat our own food and manufac-
ture our own goods at any standard OF
cost or rate of exchange is wiser and
better policy than to employ others to
make our goods and eat our food for US,
unless we wish to build up an idle aristoc-
racy with an idle. pauper people.
That the cheapest. best, and fairest ex.
change of commodities is that which is
the nearest and most direct between the
producer and consumer; and. to quote
Andrew Jackson, True craftsmanship
will place side by side the farm and
workshop"
That if exchange with foreign nations
is to be our policy, or necessity, it should
be carried on by means of American ships
manned by American seamen, so that the
profit OF such trade would inure to our
own people.
These were the main facts upon which
the Independent Labor Party of New
York rested their demand for protective
tariff. We think there is no laboring man
who scans them that will not assent to
them, or nearly all that they contain.
But with what party shall men act who
desire policy for the protection of Amer
lean labor? Not with the democratic
party surely, for that party is free trade
party, or,the same thing, party in favor
of tariff for revenue only. That party
supports the Morrison tariff bill which
strikes deadly blow at nearly every in
dustry of Maine. 1t is only in the repub-
lican platform, State and national. that
the policy of protection for American
labor is declared, and it is only by the
supremacy OF the republican party in
national affairs that this policy can pre-
vail. The political course which work
ingmen should pursue who would sustain
their own interests is clear it is to support
with all their might the party whose
standard bearer in the present campaign

Col. Morton of this city, few days
since. in a conversation with a gentleman
who resides outside of Maine and hitherto
acting with the democratic party. made
use of the following language pertaining
to the campaign in Maine: 1--WE are going
to have St. John and Finch and other
leading temperance speakers in Maine
during the last week or ten days of the
campaign. In this way we can do better
service in reducing the republican vote
than we could by making direct issues.
It is the best racket we can play" We
think this declaration on the part of Gen.
Plaisted's partner ought to open the eyes
of all sincere temperance people in Maine
as to the real animus of the third party
movement.

Little Sins.

Little sins grow. They are not like
spiders or wasps, which we can put our
foot on and crush if need be; but like
little lions, which seem as harmless as
kittens at first, but grow into fierce,
roaring wild beasts. There is lad
about fifteen years old in States prison
put in for five years for stealing. He
says he remembers well the first thing
he stole. 1t was ten cent piece,
which was lying on the mantel in a
lady's house where he was doing some
work. When no one was looking he
slipped it into his pocket, and oh, how
frightened he was afterward for fear
he would be found out But he was
not, and so the next time he had a
chance he stole again. and kept on
growing worse and worse, until at
last, with some other boys, he broke
into the house. People seldom do very
wicked things at first. They do little
wrong things; so little that they say;
Oh, that's nothing; there's no harm in
that. But the little things grow into
big things. and then people see nc
harm in them. Dear children, there
are no little sins in Gods sight. All are
truly large and very black. = The
Christian.
