mAlNE AND TIE pEMocRAcY,

Now that the Argus has got its hand in on
the tariff it should not stop until it has ex-
planned to the people of Maine the blessings
which the Morrison bill, a measure approved
by the great majority of the Democratic
House of Representatives, would have show
cred upon them.
First let it point out to the fishermen how
much better off they would be if the propo-
sition to put fish on the free list had pre-
vailed. The fishermen need instruction up
on this point, because they have been labor
ing under the delusion that for many years
they suffered seriously because of the article
in the Treaty of Washington which admitted
fish free. So impressed were they with this
notion that they agitated the subject year
after year until they brought about the abro-
cation of this treaty, or SO much of it as re-
lates to the fisheries. Of course they must
have been laboring under mistake, for the
Democrats party, which is the devoted
friend OF the lahoring man, and invites int
its temple, according to Mr.. Clifford, all the
weary and the heavy laden with the promise
to give them assistance and lelief, has done
what it could to put the fishermen back
where they were under the Treaty of Wash
ington. The Argus, we trust, VIII explain
wherein the error of the fishermen con-
sisted.
Hay imported from Canada into Maine
now pays duty of So per ton. How would
it benefit the Maine farmers to have. this
duty taken off and Canadian hay brought
into competition with the product of Maine
farms? Yet this was one of the things pro-
posed by the Morrison tariff bill which the
Democratic House supported with substan-
tial unanimity. The reduction of the duty
on potatoes was another of the ways in
which the Democrats proposed to help the
farmers and laboring men of Maine. One
effect would have been to send every starch
IdcG0Iy IN ial.-,a.. oiuo ON
ployment TO a large number of people in that
county over into Canada.
Still another thing the Morrison bill pro-
posed, was the placing of lumber ON the
free list, the result of which would have
been either to stop work in the woods in the
winter and saw mills in the summer alto
gether, or to have reduced wages to starva-
tion figures.
Had the Democratic House gone to work
with the sole purpose of destroying the in
dustrieS of the State of Maine, it could not
have produced a measure better calculated
to do so than this Morrison bill, which the
great majority of the Democratic members
supported and which was endorsed by the
Democratic press of Maine. Yet the papers
and the men who supported that measure
now have the impudence to ask the people of
Maine to strengthen the free traders of the
House by sending four Democrats from
Maine so that it may accomplish what the
present House tried to do and failed, namely,
to pull down the chief industries of their
State

rAE BULGARIAN REVOLUTION.

The abdication of Prince Alexander of
Bulgaria, marks an important crisis in the
history of that principality, and ends an in
teresting chapter of Russian intrigue. Bull
garia, formerly Turkish province, was
erected into separate principally by the
treaty of Berlin, the very first article Of
which is:
Article l. Bulgaria is constituted an automatic
and tributary principally under the suZeranty of
of his Majesty the Sultan. 1t shall have a Chris
tian government and national militia.
At the time the treaty was made England
offered strenuous objections to the articles
erecting the new State. Lord Salisbury at
the time sent to the powers circular pro-
testing that the formation of such a Slav
State would give to Russia an undue advan-
tage in an important portion of Europe.
When the government of Bulgaria was or
ganized Russian influence predominated.
The Assembly that met in 1879 to choose
Prince was opened with speech by Prince
Dondoukoff, a Russian Imperial Commission

through service in the Russian army, where
he had gained great experience IN the Balkan
campaign against Turkey. By family ties as
well as by military service the new frlhce
was known to the Russians. Ills lalher
sister. the wife of the ill fated Gar Alexan-
der H. was empress Of Russia; anu tne
young Princes mother was the daugnter vi

felt very confident when they had put MN Oh
the throne as Alexander, Prince OF bulga-
ria, that he would be devoted to their inter-
ests. But his very first act was in dehance
of them. When he entered Sofia, the capital
of his principality, he refused to read the
speech which the Russian agent had pre-
pared for him, and made one of his own, IN
which Russia's services to the Bulgarian peo-
pie were not mentioned. Since then he has
steadily labored to diminish the prestige OF
Russia among his people. His Russian ad-
visers were dismissed, sympathizers with
Russia were treated as enemies of Bulgaria
and finally the union with Eastern Roumelia
was consummated without Russian aSsiS-
lance. Russian officers were removed from
the Bulgarian army. Russian pictures from
Bulgarian churches, and when the Prince,
flushed with the success of his brilliant cam
paign against Servia, summoned the dele
gates of both Roumelia and Bulgaria to meet
in one national assembly, it seemed that the
little Balkan principally had embarked as
new nation, independent of Russian infiu-
ence and barely owning nominal depen-
dence ON Turkey. Alexander's brother had
married Princess Beatrice of England, and it
was commonly believed that Queen Victo
ria's kindly interest was favoring the ambi
tion of the Balkan Prince But Russia seems
to have been repulsed only for moment;
and the influence of England has been in
sufficient to save the Prince who defed the
Gar. Without any premonitory incidents
Alexander has been forced to abdicate by a
sudden revolution, fomented without doubt,
by Russian intrigue. The soldiers and pop
ulace of Sofia have signifed their submission
to the Gar, and provisional government
composed of Russian sympathizers has been
formed. Of itself the dethronement of Alex
ander is of no lasting interest; but as one
more step in the execution of Russia's far
reaching plans it is an event which will
cause great anxiety in more than one Euro
mean corrt

In the Democratic temple into which Mr..
Clifford invites the laboring man is hung up
the skeleton of slavery which the Demo-
cratic party fought long years to perpetuate,
and which was only overthrown after a
four years struggle by the free men of the
North. In that temple, too are deposited
the records Of the villainous acts by which
the Democratic party suppressed the votes
of millions of citizens, whose right to a
share in the government was just as clear
and indisputable as that of their oppressors.
In that temple, also, is the record OF the
Democratic attempt to debase the currency,
to thrust fiat dollar upon the people. In
stead of temple it ought to be denominated
museum of relics of some of the most de-
liberate and persistent attempts to Cypress
and swindle the laboring man the world has
ever seen.

The Mexican Supreme Court with the con-
sent of both attorneys in the case, will re-
lease Cutting, not in compliance with any
demand on the part of the United States, but
because the court and counsel think his two
months Imprisonment is adequate purgation
of his offense. Cuttings release will not,
however, settle the question at issue be-
tween Mexico and the United States, pro-
vided it be what Mr. Bayard has alleged. the
right of Mexican courts to try Americans for
crimes committed in this country. That
question will still remain open, and will fur
nish Mr.. Bayard abundant opportunities for
more laundering.

Among the measures which Congress failed
to act upon was that providing for the pay
ment of an indemnity to the Chinese who suf-
fered by the riot at Rock Springs, Idaho. The
Chinese ambassadors at Washington were
much surprised that our government should
take no steps to do justice in this matter, land
undoubtedly have communicated to their
government no fattering account of Ameri-
can Justice Public sentiment is already
aroused in China, and our missionaries are
beginning to suffer. The letter published in
another column this morning shows that the
Chinese can be as insolent, if not quite as
barbarous, as the hoodlums of Idaho and
Washington Territory.

Again we express the opinion that Secre-

in pursuance of the old Democratic ante-war
policy of strengthening the Southern section
of the Union, by extending the nations from
tier in a southerly direction. 1t meant in
those days an addition to slave territory
Now it would mean more Southern Senators

relation to trade between this country and
Canada the United States was beguiled into
paying $5,50O,O00 for Canadian fishing priv

any rate, he was dismissed from Office
