We might 60 on and extend the list OF
articles that are needed and used every
day upon which the farmer pays heavy

market. A protected market, in plain
English, is market where prices are
srti1ciolly raised for the bentf OF the
seller, at the cost Of the buyer.
The Liverpool market determines the
price for which the farmer must sell
his wheat, his beef and pork. The Liver
pool produce market governs the produce
market Of the world. Here the American
farmer has to compete with the cheap
labor of Hungary, Austris, India, Prus-
sis, Austrslis and South America, and to
take what he can get. But when he has
sold his produce IN this competitive free
trade worlds market, and wishes to ouy
supplies to take home, of clothing,
building materials, tools and house
hold furniture, the tables are
turned; the market is not free nor COM
petitiye, but protected; he is compelled
to pay tax to protect and enrich his
neighbors who are engaged in manufac-
turing these goods before he can get them
through the custom houses. Everything
he sells must take its chances in free
trade market, in competition with the
Hauper labor of the whole earth; but
everything he buys is enhanced in price q
Qusrter, or half, or perhaps doubled or
qusdrupled in cost by protected market.
How long will farmers submit to such
sbominsble injustice? ssssasssss.sitss

streets Crowded and the Returns
Loudly Cheered.

The election in Portland, yesterday, was
very quiet There was no crowd, in, or
about, the ward rooms all day. but a very
large vote was polled Notwithstanding The
weather was threatening all day, with oc-
casional glimpses of sunshine aud blue sky,
and every once in while a few drops of
rain fell. A mist hung over the buildings
on Munjoy Hill indicating the amount of
humidity in the atmosphere.
The interest in the election centred in the
doubtful States ~and therefore few people
paid much attention to how the city was GO
ing. They wanted to know what had been
heard, If anything. from New York, Indiana,
Connecticut and New Jersey, and every
body buttonholed their neighbors to see if
they could import any intelligence. They
filed the Merchant Exchange and watched
the black board. but the dispatches were
very meagre. The interest was intense and
was carried to such height that women
made bets, one to wheel gentleman from
Market Square to Lincoln Park in barrow,
II her candidate was defeated, and another
to pay for a-suit of clothes If she found her
self in alike predicament. Little newsboys
were discussing glibly of Cleveland, Harri-
son and Fisk, and Of Harrison's majority
above Harlem Bridge and how Cleveland
would fix him when he got to the city of
New York. n ~
When the poll closed in the city the side
walks in front of the PRESS Office were filed
with men waiting to get all the returns they

during the past year have been practicing
declaiming, and on Saturday of every week,
half OF the forenoon has been devoted en-
tlrely to this purpose, the programme being
prepared BY the principal, F. w. Davis.

OF members of the first class, arranged and
carried out very interesting programme,
and on Saturday last the second class took
charge of the exercises, and were equally
successful.
Under the careful training of Mr.. Davis,
the scholars have improved much, and prin-
cipal and school are to be congratulated on
the success Of these exercises.
