SOME Of the sapient free trade jour.
nails have discovered that it is not free
trade in general, but free trade in raw
materials that the country is piuing
for. They tell us that if our manu-.
facturers are supplied with free raw
material they can export their manu-.
factured goods to the markets of the
world. The Philadelphia Times is par
ticularly struck with this idea, which
it copies from the Chicago Tribune
with loud applause. If an English
manufacturer and an American manu-.
facturer each have the same facilities
for obtaining free raw material, the
same facilities for manufacturing it,
and the same facilities for shipping
aud selling it, will the Times explain
how the American can sell as cheap as
the Euglishman, unless he reduces the
price paid for labor to the price paid
by the Euglishman The whole ques.
tion is here in very small nut shell.
When we surround American industry
with all the other conditions of Eng
lish industry, we cannot put the price
of American goods down to the price
of English goods, till we put the price
of American labor down to the price
of English labor. Americans ought
to understand that free trade, absolute
or approximate, in any article which
competes with American production,
is direct blow at the wages of Amer.
ican laborers, whether at the plow,
the loom or the anvil. The men who
own factories can bear the curse of
free trade better than laborers employ.
ed in them. Every mechanic in
America owes the roof that shelters
him TO the tariff laws which have been
enacted in spite of the democratic
party. -MeadvHLe Gazette.
The above is such a plain and com.
prehensive statement of facts that it
would be we'll for every protectionist
voter to paste it in his hat, where it
can readily be referred to whenever Il
free trader attempts to argue that his
theory is the best for American labor.

MAINE DISPATCHES.
THE MAINE CENTRAL
Effects Compromise with the City Of
Bangor.

BANGOR, Feb. I.
All differences between the Maine Central
Railroad and the city in regard to the use
and occupation Of Washington street have
been amicably settled and in a manner high
ly satisfactory To both parties. The city ac-
cepts the forty foot street offered by the COM
pany, thus being rid of the two very danger
Gus grade crossings there which have been
constant source of fear and trouble 10 all
parties having occasion to use them. The
Maine Central will pay rhe whole cost of
making the change, and besides that will
erect high substantial and close fence
along their track as another safeguard against
danger. Not being able to procure for the
city all the land that it wanted for this street,
the company will give them lot of land for
the completion of Curve street, located near
the termination of the Bangor, Oldtown & Mil
ford railroad. The report of the city coun-
ell committee to which this matter was re-
ferred will be made at the regular monthly
meeting this evening and it will doubtless be
very acceptable to the city government.

A PECULIAR CASE.
Not Snakes but Monkeys-A Puxsle
to Physicians,

| The family of MIR, Thomas Stevens of
West Gardiner are just now affording consid-
cradle interest TO the community and pecu-
liar case TO physicians. Mr., Stevens family
consists of himself, wife and two daughters,
one of fourteen and the other of twelve
years. In the early part of the winter the
father and mother became the victims of a
strange delusion. The idea was entertained
by them that lot of monkeys infested the
neighborhood If anything was missed
from the premises the loss was as
cribed To these monkeys, Soon the two
young girls were enabled to see the same
images that the parents did As time passed
this delusion grew more fixed and intense.
Monkeys were all about them. Each one
took turns in watching for them at night,
armed with double barrelled guns, kettles
of hot water, pitchforks, etc. Their fancies
led them to believe that there was small
member of the monkey tribe that came down
the chimney nights and let in his fellows.
They threatened to burn their neighbor's
buildings for harboring these animals and
they appealed to the selectmen and also TO
Marshal Norton of Gardiner to protect them
from these pests. They claimed that the
robbery at South Gardiner the death of Chas 4
Alberts who was frozen TO death at West
Gardiner, the eclipse of the moon, all were
due to the work of these monkeys The
neighbors began To fear that this delusion
would excite some of the family to fire their
buildings and complained to the Selectmen
who had the family examined by two physi-
clans. The physicians pronounced the faith
er and mother insane, though on other sub
jects they appeared rational. The children
were brought before Judge Larrabee who
ordered them sent to the Industrial School
at Hallowell. Yesterday afternoon the faith
er and mother were carried to the Insane
Hospital. There was considerable difficulty
experienced in separating the parents and
children.

A SUIT FOR DAMAGES
To be Brought by the Trustees of the
Lincoln Pulp Mill.

Special to the kennebec Journal
BaNGoR, Feb. :.
It is reported that u suit is to be brought
against an Eastern Maine paper for damages
caused by an article in its columns concern
ing the Lincoln pulp mill, whereby its sale
by the trustee in charge, was impaired.
The facts of the ease are these After the
will was put into the hands of this trustee or
receiver, an accident happened a few days
before the date of its advertised sale,
to the bed plate of the engine,
requiring repairs that would take a few days
time. The paper in question published an
article to the effect that the engine had been
materially disabled and would not be re-
paired until after the sale. Several gentle
man who were in correspondence with the
trustee read the article copied into other
papers and did not further consider the pro
pcrty. 1t is probable that legal proceedings
will begin at once.
