The Fairfield Schools.

To Editor Of kenaebec Jouraai
When a town starts out to economize, the
first step is usually to cut down some
needed appropriation. This was the result
at the late annual meeting in Fairfield. The
expenses for looking after the schools have
for several years exceeded six hundred dol
lars year, and To put stop to this ex rava-
ganee, the wise ones have crippled the
schools. The amount necessary to carry on
the work has been cut down, and in addition,
the committee is instructed to close the
doors as soon rs this sum is expended 1t
goes without saying that the leaders in this
reform have no children to be educated
The next step in the line of disaster is the
action of the ;. S. Committee in cutting
down the salaries of the teachers. The Prin-
cipal of the High School finds himself minus
twenty per cent, and others in proportion.
The town has never been extravagant, but
while demanding merit in those filling posi-
tons, has paid fair living salary. To take
away twenty per cent of this must cripple the
schools. Mr.. Tilson has filed the position of
Principal five years doing good work for the
| scholars and the town. To lose him would
{ be decided misfortune, but those who have
figured the thing fine aud take no acc punt of
the duties and abors outside the school build

apprehension still exists as to the cause
which elected Cleveland from the White
House and placed Harrison in il, that mis-
apprehension shsuli be dispeIled.
Fortunately it is not difficult to interpret
the result or to locate the responsibility
When Mr.. Carlisle was rirst ele ted speaker
I in lssS We had a majority of IS in the popu-
lar branch Of Congress BY an injudicous
arrangement of the committees and the dom
nance given to certain banefui elements. that
majority was reduced at the next election TO
20. Two years later it was reduced to Is,
and nov it has not only entirely disappeared,
but so determined has the revolt against the
free trade element become that the Repubii-
cans have secured = majority in both houses
of Congress and elected their President.
To maintain that the causes which led to
these disastrous results are now obscure to
any ordinary observer of political affairs
is TO deny him intelligence and discernment
The causes being so clear that they cannot
be misunderstood, it becomes duty for the
masses of the party TO remove them and ap-
ply the remedy as speedily as possible.
The policy of the Democracy as estsb-
lished by jefferson, Madison and Monroe
was that of favor TO protective tariff and
hostility TO an internal revenue. The latter
was regarded as an inquisitorial and oppres-
sive tax. contrary TO the genius of our in
situations, and Iustifabie only in time of
war, when the necessities of the treasury
may require it. The first tax of the kind
was imposed to meet the expenses incurred
by the revolution, and it was abolished as
soon as the Democratic party acquired as
tendency under jefferson. The second was
imposed during the war of 1912, and was
repealed under Monroe as quickly as the
requirements of the government could per
nit The present tax Was levied in the be-
ginning of the civil war. As the record
shows, it was opposed by nearly every
Democrat in Congress.
Though for the past 10 year, the revenue
