MISCELLANEOUS.

The Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company during the month of October,
1893, wrote A LARGER AMOUNT OF
NEW BUSINESS THAN IN ANY COR
RESPONDING MONTH DURING THE
PAST TWENTY YEARS.
While the New Issues are SO rapidly
increasing, it is equally worthy of note
that the Company's Death-rate shows
not only relative but an actual de-
cline; this factor SO all-important in the
transaction of a Life Insurance Business
is of such a marked character, that
few facts and figures in connection there
with are given.
The Notices of Death received by the
Company from January LIST to October
31st, $685. amounts to 1919, 1926 and when
compared with the corresponding period
of 1892 shows a very substantial de-
crease. thus -

put upon it, either to oppose it or to
keep silent. That in spite of this it
should come out fatfooted in favor of
the amendment is creditable to it's
courage. In justice to the Rev. Mr..
Hughes it should be said that he needs
no invitation to give his eloquent aid"
in behalf of the amendment. He gave it
when the measure was before the legisla-
ture by appearing before the judiciary
committee with Judge Symonds and
speaking in it's support. He has given it
frequently since. 1t would have been
more to the purpose for the Argus to
have extended it's invitation to certain
aspiring politicians who thought they
saw votes in opposing the amendment,
and certain representatives of Pro testant
denominations who opposed it beause it's
adoption involved the sacrifice of the
stipends which those denominations are
now receiving from the state
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1893-12-04

The Argus declares that the "great
body of the people called for exactly
such measure as the Wilson tariff bill
in 1890 and again in 1892" How did they
call for it? The Republican party in
1892 in it's platform declared for pro-
lection to American industries and
endorsed the Mckinley tariff. The
Democratic party declared that protec-
ton was unconstitutional and that Con-
gress had no power to enforce duties ex-
cepb for revenue only. The Democrats
carried the country. Hence the country
declared that the Democratic position
that protection was unconstitutional was
correct and instructed the Democratic
party to make tariff for revenue and
nothing else. Is the Wilson tariff such
a tariff? Is it laid for revenue only?
If it is what the platform called fora
destruction of the protection system?
The Argus says not. In the very same
issue of that sheet in which it declares
that the Wilson bill is exactly what the
people called for it also declares that it
is not radical and sweeping destruc-
tion of the protective SYSTEM" but only
a moderate scaling down of unnecessary
and extravaganza taxation If this be SO
how can it be "exactly what the people
called for?"

community.

The only danger which this class of
schools (parochiaD menaces to the public
school is the appropriation of public
money to sectarian objects; and which
it is proposed to prohibit by constitution
al amendments in the several states and
in the constitution of the federal govern
ment. Such an amendment was adyo-
Gated by learned and able counsel before
the. last legislature of our state and was
approved so far as we know and believe
by men Of all parties; yet for some
reason it got the go-by, and was not sub
mitted to the people. We respectfully
invite in behalf of this proposed. amend
ment the eloquent aid of our Thanks
giving orator at the First Parish church.
By the adoption of that amendment the
only real danger to our inestimable pub
lie schools will, disappear, and parochial
and other private schools will be well
coined as friends (not enemies) In the
great problem OF national education. -
Eastern Argus.
1t is greatly to the credit OF the Argus
that it supported at the time it was be-
fore the legislature andsis still support
ing, as the above paragraph shows, the
amendment to the constitution forbid
ding the appropriation of public money
for the support of sectarian schools. In
all probability considerable pressure was
