TO DESTRUCTION
tDaily States.1

A few days ago the States assert
ed that the Republican party had
been made desperate by the disAs-
trous defeat which they sustained
at the November election, and in
stead of retreating from the extreme
position which they had assumed
during the last session of Congress,
and abandoning the Force bill, and
repeating the Mckinley tariff in
accordance with the wish 81 the pe0-
pie expressed 1T the polls, they would
ush ahead and If possible throttle
the people. That the States was
correct is shown by the extremely
partisan message which President
Harrison yesterday sent to Congress
depreciating any attempt to modify
the Mckinley bill, and urging the
Republican members to pass the
Force bill and . new apportionment
measure which will enable them to
hold the toiling masses Of this coun-
try by the throat and perpetuate
the power Of the Republican party.
Stripped Of its tedious verbiage
this is al that the message contains
that is worthy Of serious consider
atiOn. There is one point, how
ever, which opens the eyes Of the
country to the fact that Mr.. Har-
rison Is . very shallow man. In
his weak defense Of the Mckinley
bill he takes occasion to say that
the increase Of prices which brought
about the recent political revolution
was caused, not by the Mckinley
act, but by the silver coinage bill
passed at the last session Of Con-
gress That bill, as every person
knows who bias . grain of common
sense, has not caused the slightest
imitation Of the currency, Therefore
the attempt Of the President to
make it appear that the sudden in
crease Of prices on ill the articles
used in daily life was due to silver
legislation, il % absurd that It will
cause the school children Of the
country tn laugh derisively.
There Is no longer any reason for
the conservative people Of the coun-
try to hope that the Force bill will
be killed. That infamous measure
will be taken up ct once and speed
ily passed, and - the efforts Of the
Democrats to prevent it becoming
q law will prove futile, they had -
we'll submit to the inevita-
BILE and allow the Republican
party to rush to their own destruc-
ton, for 90 sure - the night follows
the day the American people will
hold them responsible for the act,
and there will not be . vesti9e Of
their organization left after the
elections Of 1892.
So far - the South is concerned
it has no fear Of the Force bill, and
the only effect it will have will be
to more solidly unite the white
people Of this section and make
them more determined than ever to
control their own elections - Amer.
leans and freemen should. The
Force bill, with the bayonets Of
the Federal government back Of Il,
cannot throttle the South or rob 10

Rrees. As We have said hundred
times, the infamous measure aimed
to destroy the peace, progress and
civilization Of this section Of tie |

Farmers and the MCKINLEY Bill.

Congressman Boutelle has written to
Houlton Grange. Patrons of Husbandry, a
valuable and interesting letter on the new
tariff bill, pointing out particularly the effect
which the new schedules are likely to have
upon agricultural products. Mr.. Boutelle
says the ways and means committee were
thoroughly impressed with the need of ex-
tending more protection to the farmer, and
constructed the agricultural schedules with
this end in view. Foreign competition Mr..
Boutelle considers one Of the chief agencies
that have been depressing the agricultural
industry. While In 1850 the importation of
agricultural products amounted to only S40,-
100000 it had risen in 1889 to more than $685.
100000, an increase of nearly 900 per cent.
while the population during the same period
had increased only 800 per cent. This
growth has been most rapid during the past
ten years. and has been followed by ''sig-
nificant and corresponding decline in prices
of the home grown product" Our Canadian
neighbors have become very sharp COMPETE
tors with our agricultural population. Thus,
during the last fiscal year there were i'm
ported into this country from Canada horses,
sheep and cattle to the value of $3,917, OBJ !;
barley to the value of 1891, 763; other grains
to the value of $169,199; potato starch and
dextrine valued at S230.0O0; eggs, 81. AIS, 900,
hay, S., O82,6S5; hops, $1.1oo,4 9S; meats and
dairy products, $1,769.S92; faxseed and
seeds. $4,567, 1893; potatoes. vegetables, beans,
$2.395, 400; lumber $9.76S,644. The Mckinley
schedule will have strong tendency to
check these inportations, thereby relieving
the farmer, especially the farmer who lives
in States bordering on the Dominion. from
serious competition, while the removal of the
tariff on sugar will enable him to buy one of
the necessaries of life at very much lower
figure than 1t now costs. Mr.. Boutelle makes
a very strong showing of the advantages
which will accrue to the farmer, especially
the Eastern farmer, from the Mckinley bill,
but no stronger than the facts warrant.

Practically this amounts to declaration of
independence. 1t is very much the same
kind of an act that marked the beginning of
the revolt Of the American colonies. OF

But 1t is not independence the New

they would be worse off than they are now.
because then the Inhabitants mere hand
ful-would be pitted against the powerful
French nation. and of course the issue could
not fail to be against them. The sole object
OF their present course is to rouse England
to take an interest in their condition, to
which heretofore she has been strangely in
different. There is no doubt that the con-
dition of the jewellers along the west coast
Of the island is really pitiable by reason Of
the monopoly by the French of the only
means they have of gaining livelihood,
namely, the fisheries. and unless England

Our esteemed contemporary, the Evening

what 1t calls a despatch to the PRESS saying
that Sen stors Hale and Frye did not vote on

traffic. The despatch referred to was not O
despatch to the PRESS exclusively, but ap,
peared in every morning paper in this State
Ii was in short a general press despatch. II
was in the Kennebec Journal, Bangor Wing
and Portland Argus as well as the PRESS.
1t seems that the reason the Senators did not
vote was because they were paired. both be-
ing in favor Of the bill. The press dispatch
neglected to state this fact.
