Sure enough there was q mouse! and then

This set the mouse running and a great run

In recent letter Hon. Hannibal Hamlin
has recalled the remarkable political reyolu-
tion in Maine in 1855 and 1856. In 1855 the
Democrats carried the State by about five
thousand majority in 1856 the Republicans
carried the State by plurality of about
twenty-six thousand and majority over the
Democrats and straight Wings Of about nine
teen thousand. The Sunday before election
Samuel Wells, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, said to friend that he felt sure Of
at least five thousand majority, and he was
buried under an adverse majority nearly
four times as great. The issue was between
slavery and freedom, and the revolution was
amazing. This year in Maine there is an
other issue before the people that is stirring
them profoundly, the issue between industri-
al independence and industrial dependen-
dence, between prosperity and stagation,
between occupation and idleness for the
laboring man. There will be no political re-
volution in Maine, because the party now in
power is the party that is on the right side of
this great question. But there is going on in
Maine great political change nevertheless.
Reports Of it are coming from the farms and
the school districts from the shops and the
cities. from the towns in the east and the
west and in the mort h and the south. Men
of standing and influence in their several
communities are coming ont boldly and an
nouncing themselves for the American poll
cy Of protection and for Harrison and Nor
ton, its champions. Our news columns this
morning gives the names Of dozen or more
such men, and for weeks past we have been
publishing the names Of others. Now such
changes are notusualin campaigns in Maine; ;
they mean something. They mean Repub-
lican majority in Maine next month such as

America are for the protection of their in

The Rockland Opinion, to which we con-
cede the palm for being the most audacious
free trade and Democratic paper in Maine,
lays down the proposition this week that
protection does not cause the Investigation
of industries, but is on the other hand
''rather hindrance to industry generally"
We might point to the immense industrial
growth of this country under protective
tariff: or we might turn to that other great
economic fact that England won her in
dustrial supremacy under the system of pro-
lection, but as these arguments have un-
doubtedly been used on the Opinion without
effect, we will point to a third most signifi-
cant example Of the efficacy of a protective
tariff for diversifying industries and bring
Ing thereby prosperity and abundance. Ger
many adopted protective tariff in 1879. As
to the effect of this tariff, we will make no
statements of our own, but quote from
financial statement made by the Iron and
Steel Association Of the Empire, an associa-
ton that includes the employers of about a
quarter of million workingmen. This
report says:
Hundreds and thousands of the unemployed,
unemployed when England did the anufactur-
ing for Germany, have been given profitable
work; old blast furnaces which had become
moss-grown under free trade have been relghted;
new ones have been built; others are today In
course of construction; silent spindles are hum
ming again; old mills have been opened and new
ones built; and English firms have found II pront-
able to move TO Germany and give employment
70 hundreds of the weayers and spinners who,

bread and horsehesh.
10 such an extent have the industries OF
Germany been diversified and stimulated by
this tariff that Germany today is not only
holding her own market but is competing
with England for the markets of the world;
and it is an actual fact that British troops
are found armed with bayonets manufactur-

The only danger now is that if, like Sol
Jacobs, Bill Danbury should be capable of

that Bill Danbury and his "chum" cannot

cline the compliment rendered us by our
Canadian contemporary, the first we remem-

quent information shows that the despatch
upon which the editorial in the PRESS was
based, was a Misrepresentation of the facts
We now learn from the Eastport Sentinel
that Mr.. Danbury, so far from being whole
sale violator Of International law, is hard
working old man, seventy years of age, and
possessed of no worldly goods but the little
twenty-five dollar boat from which he was
fishing with hand line when he was cap
tured by the Canadian cruiser Dream. With
sickness and death in his family the last year
he has had hard struggle to make ''both
ends meet" by fishing off West Quoddy

glish and American waters is not always
easy to determine. On this particular day
the poor old man, lured by the greater num-
Der of the Canadian fish. got over into Brit
ish waters. Here he was gobbled by the
vigilant Dream. OF course Mr.. Danbury has
no defense technically, as he was fishing
within the prohibited three mile line. But
when Canadian fishermen are having full
commercial privileges in our ports, it seems
small business for the Canadian government
to haul up poor old fisherman who was
catching few paddock from boat fifteen
feet long.

The Portland Herald denies that it is half
inclined to advise Prohibitionists to support
Mr. Frank w. Robinson. the Republican
candidate for county attorney, and says the
inference to that effect which the PRESS
drew from paragraph in recent issue Of
the Herald was unwaranted. The PRESS is
sorry to have to make this correction, not on
Mr.. Robinson's account for the course of the
Herald will probably affect him but little
whatever it may be, but because we thought
we had found case Ofremarkable self abne-
CATION, inasmuch as the editor of the Herald

such instances, especially. when as in this
case they seem to be inspired by devotion to
the general welfare.
