Under Free Trade.

To the Editor of the Press:
Forty-two years ago, under the Democrat
ic free trade of those days, James L. Emery
applied for work at the factory in Saco,
Maine. After waiting week he was given
place in the cloth room at sixty cents a
day. less two dollars week for board. Be.
ing good workman, his pay was increased
to sixty-one, sixty-two, and finally to sixty
seven cents day, at which price he worked
two years. Men in that mill to-day for doing
the same work get one dollar and seventy
five cents day. Mr.. Emery will vote this
year for Harrison and Morton and the pro-
lection of American homes.

Tho First National Bank ForgerIes.


The Bath Times speaks as follows of the
forgeries on the First National Bank, COM
mitted by ]. W. Melton:
LAST Monday afternoon gentleman ar.
rived at the Hotel Phoenix, engaged room
No. 4, registered as j. w. Melton, of Port
land. and requested the clerk to pay express
charges on trunk which accompanied him,
and It was done. The stranger was a tall,
dark complexioned man with side whiskers
and most affable way. During the even
ing he proved himself most companionable
fellow and every thing went smoothly until
Tuesday afternoon when he expressed de-
sire to leave and asked for his bill. The
charge OF two dollars was made out against
him and a check on the First National bank,
of Portland rendered in return. After some
hesitation it was accepted, contrary to the
practice of the house, and thirteen dollars
paid over as change Then Mr.. j. W. Mel
ton went away on the four o'clock train.
Nothing more was thought of his appear
ance until last Saturday evening when the
reports from the First National showed that
several forged checks had been passed in,
one of them bearing the endorsement OF
Welch Bros, of Bath.

Some Cape Elizabeth Democrats
After Keeper Hanna.

Everyone who has been over to the Two
Lights knows Marcus A. Hanna. the keeper.
He wears over his lighthouse uniform
Grand Army button and medal specially
voted to him by Congress for heroism in
saving the lives of members of the crew of
the schooner Australia one cold January
morning in 1885. Yesterday he was down to
the Custom House. and around him were
company of Cape Elizabeth Democrats, who
came with charges of offensive partisanship
and negligence of duty against him. They
presented the charges to Commander Batch
elder. The hearing was private, and Com
mander Batchelder says that it would not be
proper for him to make the charges public.
But the raid on Keeper Hanna is matter of
common talk over ON Cape Elizabeth, and
the details Of it are in everyone's mouth.
There is not and has never been good feeling
between the Light House and the Light
Saving Station on the Cape. As the Life
Savers are the most numerous they have
stirred up quite hornets nest around
Keeper Hanna's ears. Yesterday their par
tisans came over to make out the Keeper an
offensive partisan because four years ago he
htoaO q uCt VII MI. Dldiuc tlcCbluus PkCoiuCQ
at meeting where Mr.. Reed spoke and
served on the Republican town committee.
They also declare that both the Keeper and
his wife picked up drift wood unlawfully
about seven years ago on the place formerly
owned by III. L. Staples; that he gave picnic
parties privilege to 20 on to premises not his
own: that he ran public stable on the
premises charging half dollar for feeding
horse; and that he neglected his duty on a
certain occasion last year when one Of the
lights was out for short time. To sustain
these charges quite company came over
from the Cape. most of them Democrats.
There were Thomas Haskell, Democratic
Collector of Cape Elizabeth. First Selectman
Michael j. Peables, also Democrat, Ed
ward F. Hill, Democratic Town Treasurer,
and Third Selectman Augustus f. Skillin,
another Democrat; Life Saving Station
Keeper Horace Greedy Trundy, Hiram
Staples and Sumner N. Dyer. were also there
as witnesses. Mr.. Hanna was there to meet
the charges. 1t is understood that he admit
ted that he was an offensive partisan four
years ago in the respects charged, but denied
that what little he had had to do with poll
tics had In any way caused neglect of duty.
AS to the light being out once, it is said that
1t was caused by the breaking of chimney,
an accident which Mr.. Hanna's friends say
was net occasioned by neglect of duty.
What the Light House authorities will do
with the charges is not known; and very
likely little attention will be paid to them as
the trouble seems to arise from quarrel long
standing between Keeper Hanna and some
of his neighbors. Mr.. Hanna refuses at pres
emit to make any public statement, as the
matter he says is in the hands Of the proper
authorities. the Light House Board. He
does say. however, that the whole thing he
believes to be conspiracy against him.
