The battle Of the standards of money in

silver Congress. Nur4 Hglstead
Ex-Governor Campbell demonstrates
that he i man Of sound sense in refusing
70 run as candidate against Governor
Mckinley. He doesnt care to meet again

Colonel Henry Watterson is arguing in
favor Of putting the tax back ON sugar
We fear the colonel greatly prefers taxed
sugar to al increase Of the tax on Louis
Vile whiskey. But it will not DO Once

We do not think that Nj Dunn VIII
make good victim Of Grand Army per

Ten years he voted 'Olr Beggars in Blue"

W. b. EsteH, a representative OF the
New ork Reform Club, is making q tariff
campaign in New Ham pshire ST this time
Granite State farmers have been schooled
70 droughts, grasshoppers and potato
beetles; but the man who talks tariff il the

affection whom they will not stand long

Davis is a. rest. He was the Souths
grand leader in lost cause. A cause, the
right and wrong Of which has been de-
clded by the stern arbitration Of war
cause which should not longer be discuss
ed. The chieftain is at rest the dag is
forever furled. The South stands forth
today the bulwark of the nation Nay

The G. A. r. has been the fence used by
the military burglars 10 ROB the Govern
ment. II has become common servile and
dishonest. See man wearing one of the
badges, and nine times out of ten, you
will find q sneak and dlssembler-a scamp

The democrats howlei calamity last year
when there was no calamity, and now that
business and financial depression have re-
suited from q fear thst the democratic
promises made year ago in Chicago viii
he fulfilled by Congress, the Bourbon edi

main silent. This is Enthusiastically
democratic, but the republicans viii scarce

The Solid South seems a little shaky.
Virginia and Georgia do not agree on the
silver question, and South Carolina has 8
horror Of free coinage. While nearly all
Calhoundom is foaming at the mouth with
the free trade phoby, Louisiana is In favor
of protection and bounty on Sugar and
Tennessee and Alabama do not look com
placently upon the competition of free
foreign ores. This is very sad.-Bdngor
Wing and Courier.
We are in favor of the free and unlimt-
ed coinage of silver, whether the ratio be
l6 for or 20 for /. We think the ratio
and the parity cries are the scare-crows of
the gold bugs. IL the government main
tains its paper currency at par, we see no
good reason why silver cannot pass cur
rent as well as paper. The printing of the
paper currency should not make it more
valuable than the coinage of silver cur

Who's afraid of an income tax? asks the
New York World. Certainly no democrat
ought TO be. He voted to adopt the Eng
lish tariff system, and he must take the
English taxing system. The new income
tax in Great Britain will be equivalent to
about 80 per head for each man, woman
and child. How would a blister of this
sort suit the free trade bondholders of
America? An income tax would sweeten !
the fellows with big salaries. Biddeford
