Our Price For 1t Is So
Joseph Nimmo, Jr. gives the follow.
ing reasons why he is protectionist


/. Because protection is in conformity
with the dictates of common sense and
patriotism.
2. Because protection is founded upon
the hard teachings of experience, and not
upon any fancied eternal fitness of things
3. Because protection defends home
markets entirely our own and in the az
gregate at least FIVE times as large as the
total foreign market. in which we are
forced TO compete sharply with all other
nations.
4. Because the Mckinley act is already
justified by results-prices Of manafac-
tured goods no higher. prices of agricul-
tural products advanced and fairly remu-
lucrative as the result of the stimulus given
TO manufactures. labor well employed.
and wages never before higher
All the lies in regard to rise in prices
consequent upon ''the Mckinley bill" have
fallen TO the ground, and the protective
policy is to-day ready for national cam
paign.

For many years past it has been a fact
in this country that three qualities. a. a
rule must enter into the average feminine
names; LIST, they must be fashionable; I'd,
they must be euphonious; and 3D., they
must end IN IL. The names which come
under the above rules and which are given
to girl babies, often cling to them through
life; though in cases in which odd fogy"
parents are unwilling to bestow such
names on their babies, it frequently hap
pens that when those babies have grown
into young womanhood, the bearer often
changes her name herself into some fash
ionable appellation which nearly always
ends in L. She drops her old name and i
indignant If her friends do not call her by
the new one which she has assumed Lat
er when she arrives al that age when she
values character aud asserts claims to dig
nifty, she is often much surprised and
sometimes indignant that She cannot eas.-
ly get rid of name which she bestowed
on herself. There is no accounting for
4euiIhIhe names. Newspaper men PRINT
them at their peril, because they never
know just what photography will be toler-
ated. To run the gauntlet of Abigail.
Abby and Abbie. Frances, Frank. Fanny
and Fannie, Betsy, Betsey. Betsie, Bessie
LILA, Elizabeth and Lizzie, etc, is about
as much a. poor editors hair is worth
Mrs. Cleveland has given her baby the
good oldfashioned name OF Ruth. 1t
shows good sense. Others al the present
time are giving such names as Dorothy,
Rebecca. Margaret or Harriet to their
feminine children. May We not accept the
fact as an indication that the people have
had enough of the lie names and are ready
to return to better ways: We hope SO.

=,
Hon s. l.. .uiiiiken:
My DEAR SIR My long acquaintance
aud the high personal regard have ever
had for you prompt me TO extend congrat-
ulations for the honorable and manly
course you have taken in your letter to
Mr.. Henry Williamson.
A public man possessing such rare abili-
ties, who has won such great credit in the
past, does himself honor when he heeds
public sentiment. The highly honorable
course which you have taken will not only
endear you to the Republicans Of the Third
Congressional District, but will command
the confidence and respect of the Republi-
cans of the whole State.
recall an instance which is an evidence
of the great care and fidelity with which
you have always served your constituency.
Several years ago was visiting Wash
lngton l met you at the Capitol. You
remarked that you were having a hard
struggle to secure a favorable report from
the committee for an appropriation for i'm
provements of the kennebec river. You
asked of me information as to the com
mercial business between Augusta aud the
mouth of the river. When | furnished
you evidence to show that one million six
hundred thousand tons of navigation came
into this river 1000 vessels averaging 400
tons each) the year preceding, with other
valuable Information, you remarked. that
ought and will satisfy the committee If
they are reasonable. ANYHOW am fort-
fed aud | will make a desperate struggle
You convinced the committee aud they
made favorable report recommending a
large appropriation which was passed by
Congress. Many Congressman would have
permitted the committee TO step on them
rather than fight for their rights Not so
with YOU. You fought the question inch
by inch and secured for your people just
and proper appropriateness splendid re
ward for faithful service 1t was simply
justice TO the people whom you represent
ed The peopie of Sagadahoc county who
live on the banks of the kennebec feel I'M
der great obligations To you for the great
interest you have always taken in preserv-
ing one of the noblest rivers in the north
Sincerely yours.
