The Farmers and the Tariff.

The State Grange meeting opened at O'Clock. ID.
n Thing. the State lecturer, delivered an address
which was an argument In favor Of free trade.
The above Is an extract from the report of
the State Grange meeting at Old Orchard on
Tuesday last. We are not surprised to learn
that Mr. Thing is advocating the democratic
doctrine of free trade. but that he should
select such an occasion to air his vagaries,
before an audience made up of farmers of
Maine who have a vital interest in maintain
ing a protective tariff, their only barrier
against the importation of Canadian products.
is not fattering to his judgment. If Mr..
Thing spoke in favor of free trade he must
nave given the Morrison tariff bill his in
dorsement, as that measure was intended as
"tirst firm step in the direction of free
trade What would have been the effect of
that bill upon the farmers of this State had il
not been killed by republican votes? Take
the hay crop for instance. Under the present
law there is levied upon every ton of hay
shipped into this State from Canada a tax of
two dollars. This tax, which simply prevents
the Canadian farmers FROM securing control
of our home market, the free trader
proposes to remove. That is to say he
wants to give our Canadian neighbors all
the privileges of our splendid market while
we receive absolutely nothing in return,
portant product of the Maine farmer, and
with great area of grass just across the
line, harvested at little cost, no crop is ex.
posed to more dangerous competition. With
the existing duty the Canadian can afford to
ship large quantity of his hay crop to our
market and with the duty removed it is easy
to see that in few years the importation
would be such as to make the Maine crop alb
solutelv valueless. The same is true of oats
potatoes and other products of the farm
which Mr. Morrison proposed to admit free
of duty. If the Maine farmers want to turn
over our home market to foreigner, in order
that he may take the bread right out of their
mouths, they can adopt no surer means than
to support the free trade policy of the demo.
cratic party advocated by Mr.. Thing II on
the other hand they do not believe in giving
away this immense advantage to people who
not only do not give US any thing in return,
but who are to-day doing their best to DESTROY
another great American industry-our fisher
ies-let them array themselves under the re-
publican banner which means protection for
the farmer, protection for labor of all kinds
and protection for home industry.

MIR. BOdwell Confident of Elec-
ton.
THE CONTEST IN MAISE.-SrRBNGTH OF THE
PROHIBITION VorE OvEREsTIMATED.

j. r. Bodwell, the republican nominee for
Governor of Maine, was at the Murray Hill
Hotel yesterday. He does not intend to take
the stump himself, but he feels confident of
his election by liberal majority in Maine,
and thinks that the strength of the prohibition
vote has been largely overestimated outside
of Maine.
"The third party vote will be much less on
election day than it appesre to be to-day" he
said. THE thinking prohibtionisis fully
realize that their only hope of executing the
prohibition laws is by keeping the republican
party in power. The republican party is and
always has been the party of prohibition, and
the strict anti-liquor laws now in existence
emanated from it. The prohibitonists them
selves are responsible in many instances be-
cause the laws are not strictly enforced, since
many of them do not exert their influence as
they should. believe in prohibition and do
all In my power to prevent the sale of liquor
III my town.
"rhe democrats are doing their utmost to
magnify the strength of the prohibition party,
but with small success As far as the labor
party is concerned think we have little to
fear. As a rule the Knights of Labor will
cast their ballots for the regular candidates
according to their respective political faiths.
We have gained few accessions from the
Knights in the last year and many more will
probably come under our standard before the
election. Then number of confirmed demo-
Gratis have promised. with every evidence of
good faith, to vote for me, and it looks on the
whole as though we would poll handsome
majority. The only draw back we are likely
to encounter is that some of the republicans
will feel so sure OF a victory that they will
not think it worth their while to go to the
polls

the charge that its party truckles to the rum
power and explains that the democracy lie OPP
posed to sumptuary legislation, sensible peo-
pie will convict our contemporary of denying
that the democracy truckles to tweedledum
while frankly admitting that il truckles TO
tweedledee.
The assertion that the democracy Is now
trucking to the rum power just as II used to
be trucking to the slave power cannot be

The Campaign.

The campaign during the last week has
been pushed with great vigor and success
by the republicans. Mr.. Blaine's meet
ings and speeches have been the chief
topic of comment in the newspapers, at
home and abroad, and among the people
on the streets. in the cars, in fields and
shops, and wherever men meet. The op-
position have misrepresented the meet
ings in point OF numbers and enthusiasm,
also Mr.. Blaine's statements: neverthe-
less the meetings have been wonderful for
the great crowds which have attended
them and the earnest attention paid, and
Mr.. Blaine's statements will stand the
sharpest criticism of his desperate adver-
saries. His series of campaign speeches
promises to be unrivalled in this State,
for the unvarying power and ability which
each displays. the versatility and unfail-
ing resources of the great orator, and the
telling effect which they have upon the
large audiences which he addresses
Mr.. Blaine's speeches have caused
great fright on the democratic side. The
democrats expect to be beaten. but they
don't want to be disgraced by cast
ing y smaller vote than their average for
the past ten years. as now seems likely to
be the result. Hence they have put St.
John into the field in hot haste, and other
speakers of their third party allies, to try
and stem the tide which is bearing the
republicans on to victory. But ST. John
cannot save them. He cannot give them
any assistance. His deceptive, dishonest
position. his use of the name of temper
ance to serve the devil of intemperance
and the democratic party will hurt more
than it will help those for whom he works.
The blows of this masked assassin OF tenn
perance will fall harmless upon the re-
publicans Of Maine, who tor thirty years
have upheld the banner of prohibition
and carried it far in advance of any other
State.
The reports from all meetings and all
speakers Is of the most encouraging kind.
The good work goes bravelv
on. Our republican friends ara
acting with the yigor and ac,
tivity which the occasion demands. This
week the number OF republican speakers
In the field will be very largely increased,
as our long list of appointments shows.

people of the State. In these we trust.
leaving 20 the democratic party the tricks.
frauds, lies and SANDERS which they are
employing.
In two weeks from to -dav the election
will occur. What is to be done must be
done quickly. The time for preparation is
rapidly passing away We shall carry the
State. but we ought to carry it by the
largest vote we can. Let there be no
laggards. Let each republican do what he
can to swell the republican majority on
the 18th of September. Beware OF over
confidence. Make the election sure as far
rs in you lies. Roll up the majority so
that the bugle note of victory from the
election in Maine will electrify the whole
country.

HOW THE ELECTION WILL BE
CONDUCTED.

The following circular will be sent
out signed by County Clerk Z. +.
Ford, to each polling place, and il
ought to be carefully and strictly fol-
lowed, as the attorneys of all the
roads have agreed that it covers the
case. The following is the circular:
AT each voting precinct there must
be one ballot box and one set of poll
books for each proposition, making
three ballot boxes and three sets of
poll books at each voting precinct out
side of the city of Wichita, and four
SETS of poll books at each voting pre-
cinct within the city of Wichita.
The ballots cast for and against each
proposition must be placed in a ballot
box by themselves, and must be
counted separately, and separate re-
turns must be made of the votes cast
on each proposition.
1t is absolutely necessary that these
three elections be held wholly separ-
ate and distinct from one other, and,
to that end. care must be taken to
keep the ballots in separate boxes, to
keep separate poll books, and the
judges make separate returns.
There will have to be three sets of
Judges and clerks at each voting pre-
cinct outside the city of Wichita, and
four at each voting precinct within
the city of Wichita, and steps should
be taken to have a sufficient number
of electors present at the time of
opening the polls to organize with the
requisite number of judges and clerks.
Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1884-1886, 1886-06-03
ONE-SiDED ESTIMATE.

Ii is set out by some of the advoo-
Gates of the bonds that the mere
building of these three lines of road
through Sedgwick county will add a
million and quarter to the taxable
property of the county, counting the
cost of steel, construction, etc, and
that the direct taxable valuation of the
county thereby will be increased near
" one million Of dollars. While all
that is true enough it is still very
feeble and a very one-sided estimate.
The railroads not only add directly to
the taxable property of the county by
Just SO much per mile, and that they
thus become taxpayers is all true
enough, and is worth considering.
Yet the amount thus added is but a
portion of what is really gained. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have
been brought into the county and i'll
vested on the mere hope or expecta-
ton that The bonds would be voted
and the roads built: not only that but
the price of realty all over the county
has advanced: and not only that, but
large moneyed interests, such as man
ufacturing, jobbing lines, etc, have
been making arrangements to add
their capital, as soon as all doubt has
been eliminated. Added values will
not only come TO us by the hundreds
of thousands but by the millions OF
dollars worth. Take Wichita alone
and her valuation, measured in dollars
and cents, has been doubled within a
few months and largely because OF
these proposed roads.

EVERY FARM A FORTUNE.

The building of three new lines OF
railway through Ssdgwick county
will make her the most populous
county in the state. Where less than
one-half of her lands are nov under
cultivation, with such numerous rail-
way facilities, in very short time,
every acre will be utilized. This will
not only make her, then, the most
populous, but the most productive
county in the state. These. popula-
ton and production, combined. will
make her the richest county in the
state. Don't forget these points when
YOU strike a man who fails to under
stand his interests. To such as do not
desire high-priced farms and market
facilities, it would be as well to sug-
gest that northwestern Texas is just
such field. AS for Sedgwick county,
il is proposed to make it a garden
spot, with every quarter section with
its orchards, fields and improvements,
worth from $4,000 to $50, 900. and
every home within sight of market.
