The Tariff.

We clip from the X ennebec Journsl ex
tracts from Congressman Mlliken's forci
bic address on the tariff question, giyei
before the Blaine club in Augusta.
Well, gentlemen, we need consider onl'
duties upon imports, for this government
levies no duties upon exports. The frs
question that arises is should we levy any
import duiiesf 1t cost during the last tls
cal year $3.50, 600 600 to carry ON our gov
eminent, We raised Sl45 600 900 by oui
internal revenue taxes upon alcoholic
liquors and tobacco, 81 ,000,0 900 by til,
sale OF public lands, and S23 .O00 900 from
miscellaneous sources. These sums left
sl93 100000 to be rased In some othel
way.
how should this be done. BY direct
taxation on property Have our farmers
who are more heavily tax I'd than any 9th
er class Of the community, considered
what would be the burden TO them? II
obliged to pay In addition to its presen,
large share in sustaining state, county
anu municipal government, its portion OF
OF Sl93, 100000 for national expenses,
what would then be the value Of farm
lands, and when would the mortgages SO
much talked about and led about by our
political opponents be paidf
Should these be raised by increasing
our excise taxes? They have been felt to
be burden and an annoyance that they
have been taken from all articles except
intoxicating liquors and tobacco, two
harmful Injuries and il is very doubtful
If higher tax upon these would produce
greater revenue than we now receive
from them. But upon these let the tax
remain. have already opnnsad and
snail always oppose relieving them from
the burdens they bear. Especially should
the tax remain upon liquor. How then
shall The Sl93 ,0oO,0oO be raiseds Oar
iotefathers provided way, that by levy
Ing duties upon imports; and that way
for 100 years we have found to be wise
way. NOW There are Two methods OF
leVylng duties upon imports. Our Demo-
cratlc friends wish US to follow the Eng.
ilsh method, which Is to levy them for
one purpose only, VIZ TO raise revenue.
Inc Republican party would collect duties
upon imports Ior TWO purposes, nrst TO
raise revenue. Tor the support OF the gov
eminent and also at the same time to pro.
tecL the industries and labor of our coun-
ny from rulnols competition with the
poorly paid labor OF other countries.
Inc speaker, addressing the dil1 rent
trades, asked them which taflil they
would have Would the farmer have d
duty levied upon sugar which he buys
and cannot produce, which duty he actu-
ally pays rs lax, because no amount OF
protection can stimulate It's production
enough to cause competition, or Will he
nave protective duty upon nay, potatoes,
grain, eggs, cattle and other things which

&c have duty that shall raise the price OF
his tea or one that shall enhance his in

The Wonderful Free List.

Volumes have been printed by the Free
Traders about the increased duties pro-
vided in the Mckinley bill, but nothing
is ever said about its great and notable
reductions. They never tell their readers
that the increased rates classified above
taken altogether effect less than one
fourth OF the articles OF groups of kin
dred articles contained in the bill; that
two-fourlhs were wholly unchanged and
that one-fourth was either reduced or put
on the free list. 10 fact, they never
mention the free list; they never refer to
the abolition OF all those annoying special
licences which harassed the American
farmer snd retailer in the sale of their
tobacco. They have no room to devote
to the beneticent provision of free sugar,
by which the retail price of sugar has
been reduced fifty per cent and SG5,-
000,000 of annual taxation left In the
pockets of the people. They never
take the trouble TO remark that the
free importation provided in the Nc
kinlcy bill is ten per cent greater than
that provided iu the Mills bill. They do
not tell the American farmer that the Nc
klnley rate on binding Irvine Is fifty per
cent lower than the Mills rate. They
have not the honesty to let II be known
that scarcely a change, except by de-
crease Of rates has been made on import
ed manufactures of common and n. ces.
sary use. They do not confess, rs honest
men are bound to do, that their propbesy
of increased revenues has proved wholly
mistaken. They do not acknowledge that
although importation has steadily increas
I'd since the Mckinley bill passed, the reve-
nues have diminished, and that the Amer
can people are not only paying actually
less taxes than they paid year ago, but
much smaller proportion of the expenses
of Government than they ever paid be
fore! None Of these facts, and they are
the vital facts, and facts which cannot b.
disputed, are ever allowed to appear In a
Free Trade journal; but instead, by 8
system of grotesque mathematics, under
which they convert specific duties into i'm
impossible advalorems and apply them to
fictitious prices, they seek TO induce the
public to believe that the new tariff bill Is
general increase of protection ard 8
general increase Of public taxation. There
neyer was fslsehood more disgracefu
The Mckinley bill is an extension OF thu
policy of protection, hut not, except IL
its agricultural schedules and in one oil
two lines of industry, an increase of pro
lection.

Dea. Reuben johnson, whose death has
been briefly noticed in this paper, WAS
born in the town of Windsor, Me, i'll
Nov. ls22, he was one of the II children
of Ephraim johnson Of that town, three
of whom survive him. At the age of
years he moved with his parents to Wei
lington where he lived 30 years. In le5l
he was united in marriage to Miss Julia y
Bean of Harmony, this was most happy
union. two children were born to them
one died in in fancy and the other, Charles
o., has always lived with his parents and
still cares for his widowed mother. In
1850. he moved to Harmony, where e
lived an honored and respected citizen
TIL his death.
Mr.. johnson experienced religion at
the age of L., and Joined the Free-will
Baptist church in that place. He lived a
consistent christian life, some years later
he became deacon of the church, which
office he held for u years, then he united
with church of the same order in Cam
bridge and filled the Office acceptsbly uu-
til called to join the church triumphant.
In his death the family sustain irrepar-
able loss, and they have the heartfelt
sympathy of large circle of friends and
neighbors. He leaves fond aud devoted
wife, one son and three grandchildren TO
whom he Was fondlY attached, and a
large circle of more distant relatives.
Ye weep! 1t is wei.
Tears bent these earthly partings.
The church loses an esteemed member,
one that has been to thtm strong piilsr,
a constant and faithful worshlpper. while
they miss his presence here, snd see his
vacant seat, he has gone up higher
During his lsst sickness, which was one
of intense suffering, he was patient and
submissive, resigned to that will which
erreth not, expressing his opinion from
the first thai he was about TO part thi-
life and enter that world where pain aud
sickness can never come and parting is no
more. Every thing hat could be done 10
alleviate his sutierings was done, but the
best of care admins cred by willing hands
and loving hesrt> avaled not, and nn the
morning of Dec %, quietly passed to his
reward.

Danger = Bad Sewerag
Frighlens Parents
Notes.

The Union Hill School Trustees W i'll
have an impo rtantm matter before them al
their next meeting. II is no less than the
safety of the health of 600 children.
School No 10 is in q VIGOROUSLY bad SAM
tary condition, and the parents of the
children there who have had their atten-
ton called to the state of the school
through the sickness OF several children,
are very much excited about the danger.
The school is in an apparently good
condition. but in reality there is a lack of
proper sewerage, u all day noxlous
vapors and pestilential odors flood the
school rooms. The children have com
planned to their parents, and these have
threatened the school trustees that they
will ask the aid of the County Health
Board unless the matter is attended TO.
The School Board is willing to do all in
it's power to make the school habitable.
bnt they say the danger OF Il sickness is
slight, and the gas which is present
would not be removed with the best sys-
tenn of sanitary arrangements.

A Peculiar Arrest.

Chief Of Police Campbell has an eye
to business and a nose for beer. The
latter instinct was developed Sunday
when he discovered a keg of beer in a
room, on Railroad street, that had
been carefully slowed away for future
reference by acrowd of jewellers, The
Chief made a bold sneak and, after Sc
curing the beer, loaded it on a wheel
barrow and rolled it to the calaboose,
He no doubt believed it far better to
arrest one keg than four or five men
after they had interviewed it. 1t is
safe to presume that when the said
keg was brought up before Recorder
GUMP yesterday morning it was duly
tried, and not being able to give bond
was held for its appearance.
One of the beauties about taking
beer in the keg is that usually one
"tap" makes it easy to handle, while i
it has a man on the outside of it there
is often considerable trouble in getting
it before the Recorder.
