rirst ball pitched disappeared over the

The activity stopped there however,
and the ambitious home talent gave
way TO the boys IN black. WentZ took

A Matter Of Record.

This Is correct But what an admis-

Democratic party Ia not committed to
free silver coinage Here was a direct
proposition for free silver coinage intro
dueed By Democratic representative
and only thirteen Democrats were found
who voted against IL, and only thirteen
Republicans who voted for it Upon
that proposition the two great parties
went OF record. The Democratic party,
by an overwhelming msjority, commit
ted itself TO free silver coinage; the
Republican party. by an even more
decisive majority, committed Itself
against t. The records I the jlst Con
gress show that out OF 1872 Democratic
members In the House and Senate only
fourtesn put themselves on record
against free silver coinage, while
the overwhelming majority of
them representing considerably
more than two thirds Of the states
Of the Union voted for il. In the face
of such facts how utterly absurd 1t is
for the Biddeford Standard, or any other
paper TO assert that the Democratic
party is not committed to free silver.

Economy In Farm Management.

Farmers have always been more no.ed
for their carefulness about small
expenses than for prodIgality. Their
business is one so full of detail that if
the little things are not looked after,
even the largest crops and best prices
will not save from loss lt is the lack
of the close attention to details that
farming requires that has caused the
failure of schemes of bonanza farm
ing. What is done by hired help,
not under personal supervision of the
employers eye, is apt to be only eve
service IL is as true practically as when
first uttered. that the hireling fleeth be-
cause he is hirelipg The workman in
any occupation who always makes his
employers interest his own ia invsl liable
Yet il he would regard it rightly that
interest Is identical with his. The keen
competition for intelligent. reliable help
insures 1t what it can earn, for II one
employer will not pay for faithful ser
vice another will.
1t Is therefore not likely that farm
wages will soon, If ever, materially de-
clue. The demand for young men in
city employmentS has for many years
taken the most active and enterprisiug-
more than it will, We believe, in the near
future Business life in cities is precs
rious Few merchants can go through
life without failure at its middle or
at the close The fact is becoming
recognized that equal executive ability
on the farm will, on the average
produce as much wealth and more com
fort than it can in average business and
commercial city enterprises Except in
the item of farm help, and possibly also
in that, the cost Of getting farm work
done has declined. the aggregate ex

The display of poultry in the Age is

Ohio the tide was overwhelmingly

Pennsylvania defeats a Democratic gov

Iowa and Massachusetts, but by
reduced pluralities. The other Off

Dogs vs.. Mutton.

The advice to farmers of New England

main object. But our hillsides and rocky
pastures can be turned to good account
in the laising Of heavy bodied mutton
sheep. Most of the mutton in the
market comes from animals of the
merino breed, the flesh of which is not
the best eating. To raise good mutton
will pay. But as far as Massachusetts,
is concerned something must first be
done about the dogs The Legislature
has repeatedly refused to so amend the
dog laws, that it is unsafe for the faIm-
