Meaning OF Free Raw Material.

Those New England manufacturers who
have been indulging in the free trade
theories under the more euphonious name
of free law material will now be able to
realize that the Republican declarations
that the statements of the projections Is
have been true, and that free raw mate
tia also means freer manufactured goods.
The only section of the Springer bill
which has not yet been considered is that
relating to shoddies. The bill will he re

We do not remember ever to have seen
so general rehuke from the Maine press
as that called forth by recent utterances
of the Waterville Mail concerning Gov
ernor Burleigh. 1t is hardly worth while
to use harsh language in characterizing
the Mails indecency, hut it should not
pass unnoticed. In whose interest these
diatrbes have been published does not
clearly appear, but they cannot fail to in
inre all who are concerned in their pro-
ductiop, while strengthening the cause of
the gentleman at whom they are aimed.
1t is bad enough when the candidates OF
opposing political parties descend to vitu-
peration; but it is still worse when Re
publican newspaper uses such weapons
against member of its own party.

Walking on the Water.

From the Toledo Commercial.
Walking on water has been accom-.
plished by at least two Englishmen-
Capt. Terry and Prof. G. w. Oldrevle
both of whom use specially made
floats. Capt. Terry in 1889 walked on
the Thames from Barnes to Mortlske,
in England, at the rate of nearly four
miles an hour, and intimated an in.
tention of walking across the channel
from Dover to Calais, but that walk
has not yet come off. Prof. Oldrevie

He also performed a daring and dan

1889 On that occasion he started on

or four harbOr boats passed near him
and he was obliged to take their
wash. but notwithstanding this he
accomplished the feat easily in fifteen
minutes, the distance being about q

steam yacht which steamed away
with him for his next trip. He was
lowered into the water and at once

Southern Populists.

Writing to the ADVOCATE from Nsnkl-
poo, Tenn, r, g. Bradford says in refer
ence to the late political outrage:
"The Peoples party in the south Is
composed of as good men and as intelll-
gent as there are here. We have the ma
chine politicians to fight, and they
generally hold the towns and employ the
roughs Of humanity to do their dirt.
This, 1t seems, we are at present power
less to prevent. The party north knows
nothing of our surroundings, and can
form a worry poor idea Of things as they
exist. There is one thing l will assure
them Of, that we are going to make the
d. o. p. hustle to carry single southern
state. We are going to have fair cleo
tlon or something else. AS regards the
treatment of Gen. Weaver in Georgia, no
brave man and true Of any party con-
doneS it. They treated JnO. P. Buchanan,
our candidate for governor, to the same
dose the other day. WhyP Not because
he was in the federal army, for he was in
the confederate, and made a. good record;
not because of anything wrong with him
personally, because two years ago he was
elected by the largest majority any can
dldate had received in twenty years to
his present position as governor. The
only reason Is that he thinks, like Gen.
Weaver, more Of the people than Of cor
porations and machine politicians, and
they are willing to stoOp to anything that
is groveliDg to run him off the stump.
That they will not do, and il they persist
in egg-throwing, they will get something
worse.

Success vs.. Fimle.
To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.

To the Editor Of TIE ADVOCATE.
A short time since the republicans held
meeting at Gorham, In this county.
Our county attorney was the speaker.
For an audience he had two Peoples
party men, three democrats, and seven
others, some Of whom are an uncertain
commodity as to what they will be- Grand
success number one.
About one week later another meeting
was held at the same place. Had about
the same audience. Judge Sutton and
some lesser lights were thespeAkers. En-
thusiastic gathering number two.
On the evening of the 18th inst. the
Peoples party had a meeting. Place
the same. Speaker, Hon. Noah Allen.
Every seat in the house was occupied,
fifty. three by actual count being present;
all but three or four were voters. The
speaker held his entire audience for two
and a halt hours, aud many, some Of
them republicans, expressed themselves
as willing to listen an hour longer. Great
fiEzlel Mr.. Allen ls an excellent speaker,
and his speech was replete with facts and
arguments and free from mlsTepresenta-
tion and abuse. This 10 what the people
want. The time has gone BY when rIdl-
cule and abuse passes for argument with
the majority.
At five 8. o. p. meetings that the writer
has attended, addressed by such men az
Farmer" Smith, Senator Perkins, Welch,
Of Topeka, and others Of prominence,
not single plank in any platform has
been taken up and discussed upon lts
merits. They seem to be afraid to dis
cuss principles, even their own. Each
and all have taken and discussed at
length the clause In the Peoples plat
form where il reads, "We are on the
verge Of moral, material and political
ruin," etc. This seems to have great
attraction for them as subject on which
to pour forth their eloquencS. Mis-
representation, falsehood and abuse Ia
their stock In trade. Every speech so
far has made votes for the Peoples party.
They are getting ratified, even In Russell

It Isn't Worth While.

Susan B. Anthony Is quoted, In an in
terview by the Topeka correspondent Of
the Kansas City Times, as follows:
"No, / don't say anything about the
candidates, not even to republican candl-
date for congreSsman-stlsrge. One man,
even II he isn't just what he might be,
can't hurt the party. He must be carried
ahead by the people who are behind him,
and the people are all right. 1 might say
some things know about him which are
not very Complimentary, but II is hardly
worth while"

Senator PETER and Congressman Otis
spoke here Saturday to the largest crowd
which has assembled In this county dur
Ing the campaign. The attendance was
double that Of any republican meeting
30 far held. The senator spoke at length
in the afternoon and Mr.. Otis entertained
the boys in the evening. Men who lived
twenty to thirty miles away remained
until after the night meeting and felt
well satisfied with the speeches heard. If
attendance and attention indicate any
thing, much good was done. We want
to make no rash predictions, but believe
that our party will surely carry this
county BY fair majority this year. Con-
SIderlng the fact that we never have
carried It, this will be much OF victory.
