better acquainted with the industry OF
wooden manufacturing aud its needs than

that Democrat will denounce protection
as robbery, and yet deny that he is for

BeaYln Mind.

The people of Maine will bear in mind
that the Mills bill puts wool, potatoes,
vegetables of all kinds. shingles, boards,
lumber of nearly all kinds, granite
etc, on the free list; reduces the duty on
starch one-half. on slate one-third. These
are all Maine products. This same bill
fixes the duty on sugar at IS per cent and
rice at 100 per cent, and we have to buy
these products of other countries, as we
do not produce anything nearly enough
for our own consumption. The effect
should the bill become law, would be to
decrease the product of our own country
aud correspondingly increase that OF
other countries.
Who says this is not legislation against
our country as whole and in a marked
degree against Maine, to the advantage OF
foreign countries

Correct Revision

The Republican party has proved It's
willingness to reduce the tariff taxes by
putting over two hundred million Of dol
lars worth of imports on the free list in
the last twenty years; and Republican
Senators are now busily engaged in pre-
pairing a bill for further reductions.
Nevertheless, the Republican party does
not propose to surrender any part of the
protective system. 1t has revised the
tariff in the past, and will revise it in the
future, but always in harmony with the
principle of protection and in a spirit of
friendliness to American industries.
