An Anti-American Administration.

Elsewhere we give summary of the Texas
and Arkansas Administration tariff bill, drawn
in the interest of free trade and foreign manu-
facturers. 1t is fitting supplement 10 Bay
ards British fishing treaty, designed to destroy
the New England fishing industry. The COM
ments on the tariff bill in another column are
interesting and instructive. The New York
Press says: FIFTY American industries are
to be utterly destroyed in order that the reve-
nue. may be reduced $50 100000" And fur
ther: ''If passed, this infamous bill will
blight the business of the country, impoverish
tie labor ard bring about prolonged financial
distress 1t must be opposed with all the
force and power of the Northern States.' The
Boston journal says that ''the repeal of the
lumber duty would be in effect voting SO much
money to the Domimion lumber dealers, and
should be looked at in that light;'' and that
''New England granite and marble quarrymcn
appear to have been singled out as objects of a
special animosity." 1t is also proposed to re-
move the duty on potatoes. beans and all other
vegetables, SO that our farmers are to be made
to suffer also. But this does not complete the
catalogue of Democratic plumbers, or deliber-
ate attempts to injure cur own people. The
Boston Journal says:
The blunder in the postal convention with
Canada, which if not corrected by change in
the postal laws will give Canadian growers our
market for seeds, cuttings. bulbs, ETC., is an
other exhibition of Democratic incapacity in
relation to The postal system. There will he
persons wicked enough to charge that the
blunder was made Intentionally, to give
American seedsmen chance to test free
trade.

The Weilman Sole Cutting Machine COMPANY

Mention was recently made in the journal Of n
shoe sole cutting machine invented and patented
by Mr.. w. F. Wellman, formerly OF Belfast, but
now of Boston, and some further facts showing the
merits and prospects of the invention will no doubt
interest many of our readers. Mr.. Wellman's ma
chine was designed for cutting bcveled rubber
shoe soles, but in all probability will come into
general use in shoe shops for cutting leather soes
The machine makes l00revolutions per minute and
its cutting capacity is about 200 pairs of soles

"Chlldlike and Bland"

Mention was made last week of the passage
of Mr.. Millken's bill for public building al
Bar lIarbor. He was antagonzed by Mr.
Bland, and the Associated Press report while
giving the @ist of BANDS remarks makes nc
mention of Mr.. MilIiken's reply. The report
in the National Republican, of Washington
says:
The next bill called up was one appropriate
ing $4,000 for public building at Bar IIarbor
Ne.
As a matter of course MIR. Bland. of Mis-.
souri,, opposed the bill. and he and Mr.. Mill
ken had an interesting little spat in which the
Mi>Sourian was worsted.
Here is the official report of Mr.. Millikcn';
remarks from the Congressional Record:

Notes on the Markets.

Boston has received large consignments Of
Scotch potatoes, steamer bringing over "a 600
bushels of Magnums and Regents. Ten thousand
bags, 3, 4 and ) bushels to the bag were sold at

cents per bushcl.

mon complaint: Maine shipper of hay writes
us that he cannot get the prices quoted In these

quotations are revised weekly with great care and

information that with hay as everything else only

Belfast to Lose an Enterprislng Business Man


Mention was made last week OF the return of
Mr.. W. X. Morrison from Minneapolis and of the
successful conclusion of negotiations by which
one of Bclfast's young and enterprisng business
men is to step into responsible and lucrative po-
siton i'll one of the great cities of the west. The
following details will be of interest: Messrs.
Janney, Semple 4 Co., of Minneapolis, have been
looking about for the past three years for suit
able location and building in which to handle their
large and increasing Wholesale business, their
present quarters, at lO1 Nicoct Avenue, being en-
tirely too SMALL and have at last succeeded in max
ing suitable arrangements. syndicate has been
formed to build six story wholesale building on
I'd Street and st Avenue South, and their store, 20
NlGO will occupy the whole of the south half of the
building, floors including basement They will
move into this building in July and dey otc their
attention entirely to the wholesale trade. Mr..
Morrison, who went out to see them last September
for the first time, has succeeded in closing ar
engagements to take their entire retail business.
The business will be Incorporated under the laws
of Minnesota, rs w. X. Morrison Il Co.. with a
capital of 100000 and Mr.. Morrison will be the
President and General Manager, and have entire
and exclusive control of the business His broth
er-inlaw, j. Louis Pendleton, who is at present in
MessrsJ. 3. Co.'S employ will be stakeholder in the
new company and one of the directors. This bust
ness was established in the same location 81 years
ago by EN-Gov. John S. Pillsbury, and has the
reputation Of being the largest retail hardware
business in the whole northwest. Mr. Morrison
may well be congratulated at his success, it had
been well known among the larger manufacturers
and iobbers for months that some such change
was to take place, and a score of men after
the business. 1t will take about Is hands, inclu,l.
