To the Editor of the Press:
In the Argus of Dec. 18th, G.A.E. says
eff I was a protected manufacturer,
should hesitate good deal before closing
up my factory out Of spite at the Wilson
bill or for a purpose of arousiDg a SEN
timent opposed to the passage of that
bill among workingmen." He then goes
on to show that protected manufac-
turer in Connecticut reduced the wages
of his employees on account of the pro-
posed reduction of the tariff, and as the
workingmen would not accept the re-
duction, and as they practically had con-
troll of the government in that town they
voted themselves wages out of the town
treasury and the money was raised by
tax and the mill owners paid the taxes.
1t is easily seen that G. A. E. is not a
manufacturer or even a wage Garner in q
mandatory or he would not talk
such nonsense as manufacturer closing
his works and running his business in or
der to spite his employees This argument
as been used by the free traders to the
WOIhluS HAL w III ID NOW OuU Ol GIuDlOA
ment by taking advice from such coun-
sci as G. f. in 1892, when he was adj
vised to vote for free trade, which would
raise his wages, and lower the price of
everything ne consumed Free traders
of this stamp have for years been preach
ing that workingmen: to improve their
condition, must vote the opposite to the
manufacturer who employs them, and
when out of employment, this counsel
thinks they are getting even with the
manufacturer by voting to make them
selves paupers at the expense of the
manufacturers. These times of closing
factories should be an object lesson to
the workingman, that it is not on &C.
count of spite but because they are not
profitable and the future is uncertain.
and that the workingmen in large de-
gree irresponsible for it. and not the
manufacturer.

Liability as Bondsmen.

In most cases it is not now necessary
that any Individual should take the
responsibility of signing Bonds for
others.
Until within a few years persons ac-
ceptiDg positions OF trustsswere obliged to
go to their friends and ask this accommo-
dation or favor, but that is now obviated
by tie ,ss-- Of CORPORATE BONDS as
issued by the AMERICAN SURETY
co. of New York, having Assets over
s., coo, 600 The Bonds issued by this Co.
ara accepted in lieu of Individual Bonds
men by the US. Government for it's
Employees, and have also been adopted
by many of the National and Savings
Banks, Trust Companies, Railroads and
other Corporations and Institutions OF
Societies, and Mercantile Houses, for
their Cashiers, Book-keepers and other
Employees With the Business Man, the
desirability and advantage of these
Bonds over individual Bonds will be
very apparent, not only in the facility
with which they may be collected in
case of default, but in thei fact that the
Security of the Bond is not dependent
On the Life of an Individual, or change

The Worlds Fair managers for Maine
did good work in sending out a large
number of the artisticaly gotten up
pamphlet, 1.-The State of Maine in 1893,
completed by George II. Haynes and IL
unique map entitled the ''Summer State
of Maine with illustrated description of
many points of interest. Both these
documents give special attention TO the
railroad connections and other facilities
for travel. A list is given of the prin-
cipal hotels and summer resorts houses
of which there is large number fur
nishing ample accommodation for all
who make our State a visit for health or
pleasure. The pamphlet is profusely Illus
trated with engravings of persons, places,
buildings, etc. 1t gives a brief descrip-
ton of each county of the State and
many of the leading cities, towns and
places of summer resort along the coast
and in the interior. The wide circula-
ton of these publications ought to give
our State many. additional visitors next
summer and doubtless will unless the
panicky condition of the present should
unfortunately continue its baneful cd
tects.
