Republican Gains All Over the State

AUGUSTA, Me, September 1.-THE
following statement is made by Mr.. Jos.
Manly: Every county has gone r 'pu bill

lican, and the House four fifths Republi-

2,464; Burleigh's plurality, Is, 633 a net
gain of 5. 799 over the plurality of 1886.
The same ratio in the remaining towns
will give Burleigh more than 10000
plurality.
Penobscot county shows gain of over
300, and gives Burleigh plurality of over
1900, electing all county candidates
Washington, Arnostook and Piscata
quis all show heavy gains, aud give re.
markable Republican pluralities The
returns OF the governors vote thus far
received from the towns of the Fourth
congressional district give Bnrleigh 49,

leigh's plurality 5, l65. The ratio would
give about 100 Democratic plurality in
towns to be heard from, but as Boutelle's
vote for congressman appears to run very
generally ahead of the ticket his plurality
can hardly be less than 5000, against
3 $50 two years ago.

Our readers have in full in this issue
Gen. Harrison's very admirable letter
of acceptance, careful reading of
which will amply repay any one what
ever his views upon that important issue
the tariff. 1t is a clear and concise
presentation OF the industrial questions
involved in the present campaign, and
formulates the Republican side of those
questions in manner at once direct
and forcible. Referring to the attitude
of the Democratic party in this issue,
and its recognized tendency towards
free. trade, Gen. Harrison puts the case
in a nut shell when he says. "The
Mills Bill is only step, but it is toward
an object that the leaders of Democra-
tic thought and legislation have clearly
in mind. The important question is
not so much the length of the step as
the direction OF it."
Able and statesman like as the letter
is in its presentation of the issues now
plainly made up between the two par
ties, it is not merely an essay on the
tariff, but thoughtful review OF the
national questions now before the people.

The Republican Leader Speaks Very

On Monday night, after the Maine
election returns had reached Augusta il
sufficient numbers to tell the tale of the
Republican victory, an immense throng
of citizens serenaded Governor elect Bur-
leigh and then Mr.. Blaine, who said:
GENTLEMEN: beg tc join you in the
cheers, and give three times three for the
State of Maine. [Great cheering ] 1t is

about to say unfair, opposition that We
have encountered in this state during the
period of thity- five years ia which have

encountered more money, with sys
tematic attempt to use it corruptly, than
ever before in the history of Maine cleo

highwayman seizes his victim, with the
cry of stand and deliver for this Presi-

out an office in our bands, without pa: :
ronage of any kind to use or misuse, the
Republicans of Maine, who know their
principles aud their aims and know what
they mean when they vote to sustain
them, have risen against the free traders

working people if the system of pro
tective duties is broken down.
If the products of American shops
must compete in the American market,
without favoring duties, with the prod
ucts of cheap foreign labor, the effect will
be different, if at all, only in degree,
whether the cheap labnrer is across the
street or over the sea. Sch competition
will soon reduce wages here to the level of
those abroad, and when that condition is
reached we will not need any laws Tor

In the earlier days OF our history pub
lie agencies to promote immigration were
common. The pioneer wanted a neighbor
with more friendly instincts than the
Indian. L. ,bor was scarce and fully EN-
ployed. But the day of the immigration
bureau has gone by. Will. our doors

invitations to the inhabitants of other
countries to come to our shores ur TO

sity OF some inspection and limitation is
obvious. We should resolutely refuse TO
permit foreign governments to send their
paupers and criminals to our ports We
are also clearly under DUTY to defend
our civilization by excluding alien races
whose ultimate assimilation with our
people is neither possible nor desirable.
The family has been the nucleus of our
best immigration and the home the most
assimilating force in our civilization.
The objections to Chinese immigration
are distinctive and conclusive, and are
now so generally accepted as such that
the question has passed entirely beyond
the stage of argument. The laws relating
to this subject would, if should be
charged with their enforcement, be faith
fully executed. Such amendments or
further Legislation as may be necessary
and proper to prevent evasons of the
laws and to stop further Chinese immi

The expression of the convention upon
this subject is in entire harmony with
my views.

TWO CONSISTENT CANDIDATES.

Cleveland and Thurman on Second Terms.
From Cleveland's Letter of Acceptance, August
Is, 1881
when we consider the patronage Of
this great Office, the allurements of
power, the temptation to retain public
place once gained, and, more than all,
the availability a parry finds in an IN
cumbent whom horde Of "tficeholders,
with zeal born of benefits received aud
fostered by the hope of favors yet to
come, stand ready to aid with money and
trained political service. We recognize in
the eligibility of the President Tor re-
election a most serious Danger to that
calm, deliberate and intelligent action
which must characterize government by
the people"
If any further testimony as to the
views once entertained by Mr.. Cleveland
on the subject of second term were
necessary, the following statement made
by him prior to his election might be
added:

of the Buffalo Express, ex Supervisor
Dean Wilson, prominent Democrat of

say on the corner of E,gle and Pearl
streets, that if he were elected president
he would never accept the Office but tor
one term. He has been working for a
second term ever since he vas elected"
THURMAN ONCE HELD THE SAME VIEWS.
[From Thurman's Speech at Columbus, in 1921
'My friends, you will never have any
genuine reform in the civil service until
you adopt the one term principle in
reference to the Presidency. So long as
the incumbent can hope Tor a second
term he will use the immense patronage
of the Government to procure his re-
nomination and secure his reelection"

For Farmers to Think About.

For Farmers to Think About.
We show last week we think con-
clusively to any intelligent farmer, that
while Democratic newspapers and ora
tors persuade HIM to believe that his
products are not protected at all urder
our present tariff system, yet the Mills
Bill which these same Democratic
newspapers and orators advocate, pro-
pose to rob him of whatever protection
he now enjoys. Now it ought to be
apparent to every farmer, that any sys-
tenn which tends to reduce the number
of persons engaged in agricultural pur-
suits must be a beneficial one to him,
because an increase of the number of
consumers of farm products, must nee
cssarily increase the demand for these
products. Now as the prices OF farm
products always depend upon the sup
ply and demand for them, it follows as
an inevitable conclusion that their
prices must De largely governed by the
relative number of producers and con-
sumers. 1t is just here that the bene-
ficence OF the protective policy advo-
Gated by the Republicans becomes
most apparent. 1t encourages the de-
velopment of vast manufacturing enter
prises, drawing laborers from the farm
where they are producers, and placing
them at work in mills, in FORCES, in
mines, IN factories, thus reducing the
great army OF agricultural laborers, and
swelling the still larger army of con-
sumers of bread stuffs engaged in man
ufacturing pursuits. This, however, is
but one of the meny benefits which the
farmer derives from protective tariff.
Now there are about sixty millions of
people in the United States, of whom
about twenty-one millions are wage
earners, of the latter nearly eight mil
lions are engaged in agricultural pur-
suits. 1t must be plain, that If the
farm products of these eight millions of
farmers were allowed to come into
competition with the cheaper products
of Europe and India, that the supply
of these cheaper products would so far
exceed the demand for them, that he
would be compelled to sell his farm
products at far lower prices than he now
receives for them, or to abandon his
farm.
This is the true history of English
agriculture to-day under free trade. In
order to prevent this evil, the Republi-
can party has said, in its tariff laws, to
foreign producers Ii you wish to I'M
port farm products INTO the United
States otherwise you could
under sell our farmers in their own
market-you must pay duty OF 20 per
cent, on live animals, Except for breed
ing purposes) I cent pound on beef
and pork, 20 per cent. on mutton, 2
cents per pound on hams, bacon, and
lard, cents on butter and cheese, 20
cents a bushel on wheat, 10 cents on
corn, rye, oats and barley, IS cents on
potatoes, 81 per ton on hay, and SINH
lar duties on hops, vinegar, honey,
tallow, wool, rice, orchard fruits, &c.
In this manner the Republican party,
by its protective policy, would guard

PeremptOrlly Declined.

While our irascible contemporary of
the Cecil Democrat is citing instances
of exemplary good manners, he might
make note of little incident which it
is said happened to one of his promi-
nent party associates, and for whom we
believe he cherishes warm brotherly
affection-Mr. Arthur P. German.
The Senator from Maryland who is
a cool and self contained man, was, so
the story runs, on one occasion en-
gagged IN conversation with several
friends in one of the corridors of Bar
NUNS Hotel, when he was approached
by a disappointed office-seeker, who
cherished a grievance against him, and
who hoped by abusive and offensive
language to engage him IN an angry
discussion. Failing to provoke Mr..
German the torrent of the fellows tenn
per burst its bounds, and poured upon
the Senator food of such epithets as
only his vulgar wit could suggest, and
his malignant ingenuity devise. Mr..
German, however, made 10 reply
through it all, and when the violence
of the irate gentleman's wrath had ex-
pended itself, without utterng sylla-
Bile, turned on his heel and walked
calmly away, leaving the crest fallen
bully to the contempt and derision OF
the by ISLANDERS.
We leave to Mr.. Crookshanks the
application of the point of this in

ill-tempered exhibition of last week

Viewed by the light of the result in
