NOT AFRAID OF DOGS.
They Knew inst What to Do When a Big
@a One Came After Them.
From the Mount Holly Dispatcb,l

[From the Mount Holly Dispatch
was standing on the railroad platform
of small country town a few evenings
ago. There were four men grouped apart
from where was standing conversing
among themselves. Just beside the edge of
the platform were the grounds of some pri-
yate residence, fenced in by an iron fence
only three feet high. Inside the fence.
held by a heavy chain, was dog of the
deerhound breed. He was impatiently
chatting against the restraint imposed upon
him and pulled and tugged at his chain at a
great rste; The four men were standing
looking at him and making comments.

The Cleveland Tax.

This portion of the amendments to the
Tariff bill reported by Senator Vest from
the Finance Committee on Friday should be
read and memorized:
'There shall be levied and collected tax
of two per cent. per annum on the net prof
its or income above ordinary working or
operating expenses of all banks, banking
stitntions fire f Marine fe and Sa other in
surance companies, railroad, canal, turn
pike, canal navigation, slack water. tele-
phone, telegraph, express, electric light, gas
water, street railway companies, and all
other corporations, companies, or associa-
tions doing business for profit in the United
Stats, no matter how created and organ
ized.''
The depositors in the New York savings
banks would make a city almost as large as
this town if they were all gathered togeth-
er We call their attention to the tax which
the Democrats of the Finance Committee
OF the Senate, obsequious phonograhs of the
income-taxer in the White House, wish to
impose.upon them. Their interest at present
runs from three to four per cent. How will
they like having their magnificent incomes
cut down? As for the shareholders in all
the other corporations that Mr.. Cleveland
in the abysses of his &c nomic sapience sees
fit to fine, we have no means of ascertain
ing their number, but it is very great The
amount of small holdings in all corporations
whose securities are not so regarded, is
large. But what of it? Is not a corporation
crime in the gospel of the red-eyed sons
of thunder among the Demolists and Popo-
Gratis? Fine the widows and orphans, Zine
the savings clerks and shop girls. What
business have they to intrust their savings
to corporations? What business have they to
save?
Let us remember, too, that savings banks
scarcely exist in the South, and are infre-
quently foundsin many .parts of the West.
1t is necessary to consult the geography
of accumulation to comprehend with what
a fraternal spirit the Demolistsm and
Popocrasts lay taxes.
Of course, the millions of persons on whom
the Cleveland fine is laid will be eager work
ers for Democratic success net fall and
thereafter The tax on Individual incomes
will be greatly surpassed in effect by this
corporation tax. 1t will be as effective as

THE PRESS.
THURSDAY MAY 10.
A REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION
WILL BE HELD IN
City Hall, Lewiston, Tuesday, June 8, 1894
AT 10 O'CLOCK A. Nj.

for the purpose of nominating a candidate for
Governor, to be supported at the September
election; and transacting any other business
that may properly come before 1t.
The basis of representation will be as fol-
lows: Each City, Town and Plantation will be
entitled to one delegate, and for each rs votes
cast for the Republican candidate fer Governor
in 1892, an additional delegate and for frac-
ton OF 40 votes in excess of rs, an additional
delegate.
Vacancies in the delegation of any City, Town
or Plantation can only be filed by residents OF
the County in which the vacancy exists.
The state committee will be in session in the
reception room of the hall at O'Clock on the
morning of the convention, for the purpose of
receiving the credentials of delegates. Dele
gates, in order to participate in fhe convention,
must be elected subsequent to the date of the
call for this convention.
Confronted, as we are by the attempt OF the
Democratic party in Congress to destroy The
industries, to PROSTATE the agricultur al inter
ests of the country and to degrade labor by pre-
venting the laborer receiving his just reward,
we invite all electors of Maine, without regard
to past political differences who desire to pro-
test against this destructive policy of the Demo
cratic party who are i'll Iav0r OF maintaining
the protective tariff; who bellve III u sound and
honest currency in free popuaf education in
securing political power to every citizen; in
promotion of the cause of temperance; in just
and equal taxation; in all measures for the en-

cal and efficient administration of state affairs,

A jury of his countrymen after an in

solemnly declared that Coxey and his
assistant Carl Browne did walk on the

antees to every citizenH of this republic,
and therefore to Coxey and Browne, the

The Constitution declares that all bills

The income tax proviso was originally

But now sugar has been put on the

The Populists are predicting that they

this year. The Democrats, however. are

The only Democrats that seem to have
got nothing out of Germans revision of
the tariff bill are the Bangor Democrats.
Lumber is still on the free list, though
the Bangor Democrats have had a COM
mittee in Washington for some months
laboring for the restoration of the duty.
Why they didn't get any concession we
don't know. Perhaps they couldn't
show votes enough. and perhaps they
didn't promise enough for the next cam
paign fund. Whatever the explanation
may be the melancholy fact remains that
the Bangor Democracy got left in the
general distribution of the German
plums.
