Lumber to be Protected.
Especial to the PreSS.l

AUGUSTA. Aug. 4.-Several Of the Maine
Democratic papers have been chuckling over
an assertion made in their own columns that
the Senate tariff bill would reduce the tariff
on lumber, which was step towards plac-
ing it on the free list, as in the Mills bill.
This has been placed before the Democratic
lumbermen, who were wavering in their
party faith. to hold them steadfast. But the
fact is there will be no reduction made by
the Senate bill and lumbermen need not be
alarmed. That there will be no change can
be definitely stated from reliable informa-
tion which has been received here and this
great industry of Maine will continue to be
protected.
