Pleasant Hin Republicans Raise a
Flag.
Especial to the Press.

FREEPoRT, Aug. 23-The Republicans
of Pleasant Hill Freeport, threw to the
breeze on Wednesday evening beautiful
flag, bearing the names of Harrison and
NJ orton. The occasion called together some
FIVE hundred people. They came from the
workshop, the quarry, and the various other
industries, to cheer the grand old flag and to
listen to an able address from George d.
Parks, Esq, and Barrett Potter, Esq, of
Brunswick. The address of Mr.. Parks was
a plain statement of facts in regard to the
different positions of the two parties. He
showed that protection to American indus
tries was the only safeguard to the future
prosperity of our country. The spea ker
contrasted the difference between the "free
list" with which the Democrats could inflict
Maine, and the protection which they give to
the Southerners' sugar and rice. His address
throughout was listened to with marked at
tention, and was enthusiastically received.
Tie remarks of Mr.. Potter were full ex-
posure OF the efforts Of the Democratic par
ty to foster free trade and destroy our home
manufactures. He was loudly cheered upon
closing his address.
Cushing's Band was in attendance, and
played several fine selections. After the
speaking, the band, members of the Bruins
wick Republican Club. many of whom were
present, the speakers and the members of
Freep0rt Republican Club, were invited to
the residence Of John A; Lane, where, with
the we'll known hospitality of the ladies of
Pleasant Hill, bountiful spread had been
prepared.
Henry c. Brewer, Esq, chairman of the
town committee, presided. and at the close
cheers were given for Harrison & Morton,
Thomas b. Reed, 4. G. Burleigh, the speak
ers, the ladies of Pleasant Hill and the
Brunswick Republican Club. In return,
cheers for the Freeport Club were given by
the Brunswick boys with will.
The Slate Industry.
MoNsoN, Aug 23-Messrs. Story & Wilbur
are the largest dealers in roofing slate in this
country. Theirsgreat trade was built up in
the first instance by importing Welch slate.
The tariff on this important Maine product,
which is quarried chiefly in Piscataquis coun-
ty, drove the Welch article completely out of
the American market, and yet American
states are now sold lower than the Welch
states were under free trade. Recent
ly letter was addressed to the above named
firm, inquiring Of them as to the facts rela-
tive the slate trade. Although their own in
tive tariff, they very frankly admitted the
truth in letter from which the following is
taken:
''We don't know much about wool do
nestle or foreign free or taxed but we
do know a little something about slate, and
the quarries and quarrymen can offer thanks
for 80 per cent tariff for crowding out the
foreign states and giving the boys chance
to earn living here"
