The Tariff Reform League of Boston have
taken upon their shoulders the great task of
proving that the tariff has impoverished
New England by the destruction of some of
its great industries. Perhaps they think
they can prove this because Don NJ. Dickin-
son was knocked out SO quickly when he set
up the propositions that New England has
always grown rich off the rest of the coun-
try" and that "the West pays tribute and tax
to New England and gets nothing in return
for it." Mr.. Dickinson was right when he
said New England had grown rich; but
wrong when he described the means. The
Tariff Reform League does not seem to have
progressed in knowledge even so far as Mr..
Dickinson,

The Care of the insane.

The communication in regard to the insane
hospital, elsewhere published, deserves care
ful consideration. 1t is certainly high time
to ask the question whether the policy of
combining all the insane of the State in one
huge building, and extending year after year
that building to meet the increasing de-
mands upon it, ought not to be changed.
In the year 1887, 754 insane persons were
herded together in that one structure,
Its population, including doctors and
attendants, was larger than that of the
town of North Yarmouth in this county.
about one-third of that of Bridgton. and
nearly quarter Of the population Of the
town OF Westbrook More than half the
towns In Franklin county contain less peo-
pie than the number Of insane persons gath
cred in this building at Augusta. The
medical treatment of these 754 persons de-
wolves on three men, and one of them neces-
sarily has to devote a large portion of his
time to the general superintendent of the
asylum. Now are not 754 persons, afflicted
with one of the most occult of diseases too
many for three persons to attend to,
even could they devote their entire
time to their medical treatment? But it
Is highly desirable that the physician
In charge should be personally familiar with
the case OF each patient, and certainly the
limit OF patients that one man can familiar
lie himself with would seem to have been
long since passed atthis institution.
bBut medical treatment is only one consid-

dangers attending the gathering together of
SO many worse than helpless people in one
building? Can the sanitary conditions bs
what they should be in building crowded
with patientsP Can any system of ventila-

over-erowded wards? Can cases Of conta-

these ZOO unfortunates should be frenzied by
an outbreak Of fire? Would it not, in such
case, be entirely impossible for the attend

Doubtless it will be cheaper for the State to
continue to maintain but one hospital and

Ex-Governor Robinson. of Massachusetts,
does not believe that the responsibility of
the foreign immigrants for the evils Of Ameri-
can society is nearly so great as is often
charged. And he furthermore very sensi-
bly, affirms belief that the poor, as well as
the foreigners, are credited with undue con-
tributions kto the criminal classes. In the
course of discussion in Sunday school
convention in session at Springfield Thurs
day, Governor Robinson said: I'VE read in
the local press occasionally of the alarming
development of young barbarians. 1t is
often said that the criminal classes are re-
cruited largely by foreigners and the poor,
but my observation leads me to say that
large number are from the homes of the
rich. The homes of the poor alone will not
supply the criminal classes of the future"
Governor Robinson thinks that it is not
alone the children Of the poorer streets that
need attention, but also the children of those
fathers who satisfy their consciences by
occasionally.makingh happy the church treas
ury, but cannot find time to attend the Sun
day school with their boys and girls"

All the twisting and turning and quibbling
on the part of Mr. Breckenridge and Mr.
Mills concerning the relations between the
majority of the ways and means committee
and President Hayemeyer of the sugar trust
cannot dispose Of these facts: First, that in
the original report of the majority on the
tariff bill they gave as a reason for extending
sugars of the first class from No. 10 to No. 16
Dutch standard of color, that sugars between
No. 10 and No. 16 were grades of brown
sugar that could 60 into consumption with
out refining, and therefore consumers
could protect themselves against
trusts by purchasing these sugars !;
second, that in the Mills bill
as passed this classification was not retain
ed; third. that between the time of the report
on the bill and the change of this classified
tion Mr.. Havemeyer had met.and conyersed
with Mr.. Breckenridge and Mr.. Mills; fourth.
that the change enured to the advantage of
the sugar trust and deprived consumers of
the means, which the original classification
had furnished. of protecting themselves
against trusts and combinations.
