STATUE.

FAIR-GLAs ONBURY CHURCH-THE HALE
STATUE.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Dec. 25-The great fair OF
Robert .. Tyler Post was brought to a successful
aud satisfactory conclusion by the drawing of the
one hundred prizes on Thursday evening. Such
crowds as visited the booths every afternoon and
evening have never been seen under a roof III Hart
ford before This due partially to the fact that
the tickets were transferable" and whole fam
lilies and even neighborhoods could visit the fair on
one ticket in the course of the week. There was
also generous interest IN the fair and the sales
at the booths and restaurant amounted to about
81 200 each day. SO much, indeed, that some OF
the merchants compliance that the fair made seri-
Gus inroads into their holiday trade The drawing
of prizes was from the old draft wheel in use dur
ing the war; and Commander Morley. Of the post.
checked of the lists III those anxious days. A re-
markable coincidence IN connection with this
wheel is that Mr. A. j. Spencer, of Manchester, has
had his name drawn from it every time that 1t has
been used, once as O member Of the Connecticut
militia, again as Union soldier. and again in the
drawing of Thursday evening wnen he drew
guitar.
South Glastonbury Congregatiolallsts made
Wednesday notable day by the observance OF the
fftieth anniversary of rhe establishment OF Its
church in that town, which is just across and down
the river from Hartford and IS in reality part OF
the city, far business interests are concerned.
The historical sermon was by the rev MI burr,
and one OF the pleasant features OF the day was the
gift OF check Of 81, 900 for the support OF the
preaching and worship so long as 1t shall continue
of the Congregational faith and order.

These tables show that the points lost in thirty
years "under Democratic rule and policy" were:
Imports, SO 6-1O; exports. IA 2-10 Lost by the
war in five years-impoIts, "a 9-l0 exports, "a 40
Lost "under Republican rule and policy"-imports
4-1O exports, "a $40. Lost under the present
Adm nistratQn in two and half years-imports'
2-10: exports, $40
From these figures it may be seen that there is
little to lament between the "ong period of Demo-
cratic rulen and the short of piratical war
fare upon American shipping at sea- The Republican
Government may have several sins to answer for
but when compared with Democratic Government the
former has been an angel Of mercy rather than
demon of destruction. The rule of the Democ-
Iacy to surrender altogether othc British and build
no American ships whatever. When Great Britain
lad fully entered upon her course of steamship sub
sdizng she began to gain over the tonnage carried
In American bottoms, the latter losing 10 lei cent
In imports from 1912 to 1s43. With the renuncia
ton of protection in 1856 the "Democrauc rule and
policy" the percentage Of imports carried In Amer'
can ships fell of fifteen points in three years
