Significance OF the Coming Election,

There was a splendid Republican ratifica-
ton meeting in Boston. Wednesday even
ing, at hich the great speech of the even
ing was made by Congressman Henry
Cobot Lodge. He was given an ovation at
Its close of which any man might well have
been proud, During its course he
said In the coming canvass We
are not electing an autocrat We are
eleeting President of the 'nited States. n
constitutional officer, and with him we elect
Congress and a party to take control of the
government. Let me illustrate what mean.
When the last Democratic administration
came into power, its President had great
deal To say on the subject of civil service re-
form He issued many manifestoes filed with
those rotund platitudes which some persons
consider contained political thought. The net
result of it all was the extension of the law
to 2O00 offices. After he was defeated he
ordered the extension TO the railway mail
service, but he left It for his successor to do
tftt Uililtult Ialt Vi II dhh ~
His successor has extended the law
still further, to the Indian bureau, to the
fish commission. aud to all the great mechan-
zeal forces of the navy yard. The great
Democratic friend of civil service reform
made up one of the poorest commissions
that We have ever had, and the
law was very badly enforced. Our
President has made up one of the
best commissions that we have ever had,
the best. and the law has been thoroughly
enforced. The fact was that the manifestoes
were the Presidents but the actions were the
party's. The voice was the voice of Jacob,
but the hand was the hand of Esau Applause
and laughter. Our civil service friends
who prefer Cleveland's civil service reform
seem to be coutented with language instead
of performance, but the fact remains that
in that case. as in others, it Is the party
that ultimately directs the great policy.

The New Age is full of frantic appeals to
the farmers and aborlng men. Ii also fair
ly blazes with Napoeonie exhortations of
the taxpayers" At the same time it
charges the Republicans with raid upon
the treasury because they have established
State departments in the interests of all these
classes. The Agricultural Department was
established at the request of the farmers OF
the State the Labor Bureau at the request
of its workers and the Board of State Asses
sors at the request of the taxpayers. The
Age in its newborn desire for economy
doubtless desires to see all of the depart
ments abolished; but We can assure our
contemporary that they have come 10 stay.
The Democratic party is great in its
professions but woefully weak in its
performance The last time il was in
power in this State it taxed the people over
million dollars, threefourths of which
WAS used by them in running our State gov
ernment Since the Republican party came
into power it has relieved the farmers and
the working-men and the taxpayers generally
of a burden of taxation amounting to more
than $2II 900. That is why the people of
Maine are going to vote by ronsing majority
next September to leave the affairs of our
State government in the hands of the great
party that has administered them SO wisely
and so well

II is desirable thai the prices Of all our
domestic products should remain high, To
the end that the power Of labor to purchase
money might be, to the greatest possible
degree, enhanced and that the power of
money to purchase labor might be cores
pondingly diminished AMI that the least
possible volume of labor might be
required for the payment of given debt
or for the payment Of all debt.
IN the nature of things, a non producer can
not he said to be self-supporting. The pro-
dncers must not only support the non-pro-
dncers, but they mus, also pay all debts.
They can. therefore, afford to tolerate no
augmentation of this burden through an en-
counter with foreign competition that is
sought to be thrust upon them by designing
INSCRIPTIONS, non producing politicians.
The producers will see that they are pro-
tected from such assaults.
