The Peoples Party of New Zealand

On the first page of the MIDLAND Jour
NAL we publish this week the second
paper by Mr.. Bachelor, on the peaceful
revolution in New Zealand. The result
i'll that far away country of the South
Pacific ocean has mnch encouragement
for the popular movement now in pro-
gress in this country. The single tax
people have been claiming all the grand
results of the New Zealand reforms as a
single tax triumph. 1t will be seen by
those who have read the papers published
in this and last weeks MIDLAND Jour
NAL, that but modest share of the ben
efcial results achieved can be claimed by
Henry Georges economic tax reform, but
a fair share should be credited to the
single tax. That portion is comprised i'll
the abolition of the tax on personal prop
erty and the placing the heaviest taxation
on the accumulations of wealth in the
province. The new government abolished
the old system of taxation, such as is in
vogue in this country, and introduced a
graduated land tax" from which all
improvements were deducted. This does
not seem to be "rental value tax, but
something i'll the nature of such tax
The main feature of the New Government
tax was graduated income tax. with an
exemption of $500. On the large es-
tates of alien land holders an additional
tax of 20 per cent was levied This scat
tered the "alien landlords" like hawk
scatters bevy of quail, and they sold
their big estates and got out of the coun-
try in hot haste. The New Zealand Peo-
ople's party, which established what is
termed the. New Government, cut down
the extravagant expenses of the old party
machine government one-third to one
half, and by their new system of taxation
cleared the public debt aud have a sur
plus in the treasury.
The exemption of the poor mans little
farm and home and the laying of 20 per
cent extra tax on the great estates of the
alien landlords, and the graduated income
tax which compelled the very wealthy to
pay the larger portion of tax as they held
and received the greater portion of the
wealth, while the working men were
relieved of tax burthens, and were en-
abled OH account of their lightened load,
to apply themselves with the greater dill
gence to the production of wealth, are the
fundamental principles of the great reform
of the colony government.
The Populist party of the United States
has marked out a similar policy and are
steadily pursuing it. If the hard pressed
and struggling millions of this country
want to witness and enjoy similar pros,
perity in the short space of four years as
that produced in New Zealand, they will
follow the banner of the Peoples party
as rthe New Zealanders did, and such
result is not merely problamatical but
certain!
Who that has a soul as large as pea
is not wearied disguised and sick at hear
with the two old corrupt parties?

DIR. Blessing Disgruntled.

DR.. A. L. Blessing of Baltimore, PUSHES
into print last week in The
Cecil Democrat and appears to be mad
clear through at THE MIDLAND JOURNAL.
A few weeks ago the Doctor wrote some
thing OH the single-tax subject Tor he
thought it was OIL that subject) which was
published i'll THE MIDLAND JOURNAL.
We saw the Doctor knew very little about
the subiect-or was unable to express it
if he did-of taxation, land, money, ETC.,
and we pointed out that fact He i'm
mediately rejoined with another article of
the same caliber, which contained no
information whatever but some crude no.
tions of the writer, and through charity
for the Doctor, the article was withheld
from publication. But some people will
rush in where angels fear to tread, and he
got to the ear of the public through the
Democrat last week The readers of that
paper will very readily see the Doctor
don't know what he's talking about.
Such stuff Injuries the cause, the writer
attempts to aid.
"a little nonsense now and then
Is relished by the wisest men,
But repetation of such dull nonsense
as the Doctor furnishes, is an imposition
OH the good nature of the readers of any
paper barring the injury it inflects on a
good cause. DR.. Blessing would confer a
blessing on the single-tax cause by con-
filming his efforts to patients and pills while
more competent men take charge of the
single-tax. The Doctor may be very
skilful in the healing art but is veritable
quack as a single-tax doctor.

German Wins.

The House receded from its stand on
the Wilson tariff bill on Monday and
passed the German Senate bill. German
and the Sugar Trust came out on top,
with the ponderous bulk of President
Cleveland, the Wilson bill, free Nova
Scotia coal, free Cuba iron ore and the
House under. The Jew Havemeyer and
the slippery wire puller German were an
overmatch for the eastern Yankees and
Cleveland. This whole tariff fight" for
months has been but the sharp practice
of two sets of rogues, battling in the in
terest of two or three trusts, for the adj
vantage The Jew had put his nickle i'll
both slots, and had the advantage of the
coal and iron yankee and won. He play
ed with loaded dice. He always does.
The coal and iron ore syndicate promised
big money in the future for present help.
The Jew, Havemeyer, put his money
down and ordered German to "call' the
other fellows. That settled it.
In the mean time the Cleveland players
attempted to back fire German. They got
up meetings all over Maryland and passed
resolutions and made speeches, painting
German so black that fly wouldn't light
on him. Next month when German goes
out hunting political woodchucks, and
whistles they will all tumble over each
other in coming to "heel." Great is
German at the game of political poker,
with the Sugar trust behind him. But
after all the "cussing" is through with
and the talk of thousands, which is only
only echo, the bill is pretty fair law.
Schedules will be lower before they are
higher. It is full time this great Amer
lean nation had begun to step off and
walk alone. 1t has been depending on
protective" tariffs, and asking England
if it might use this kind of money and
that kind ofmoney; copying this nations
methods and that nations methods; in
short, standing like an ass between two
bundles of hay, while lot of arrant
knaves and fools have been allowed tc
legislate for the people, and it is time this
was stopped.

TRIED FOR ENLIGHTENMENT.
Now Joseph Cardarette Proposes to Make
Things Unpleasant, ,
Especial to the PRESS. J

Augusta, September 21.-The trial of
JosephM. Cardarette fol- embezzlement,
which has been the one topic of con-
versation in Augusta for some time,
was ended today in the Superior Court.
The jury, after 20 minutes deli bration,
brought in verdict of not guilty.
This was an indictment for :the en-
bezzlement of certain goods from the
store of FL. Hersey & Co., of Augusta,
the property of Hersey& Co. The de-
fendant was clerk in the store, and
the government claims that he paid GER
tain private bills of his own, milk and
portion of physicians bill, by deliv-
erlng to the creditors goods from the
store and not charging them to his ac-
count or paying Hersey & Co., for fhem.
The amount alleged to have been en-
bezzled is 81 LBS. The defendant admit
ted that he delivered the goods to the
parties and claims that he charged
them to himself on the cash register as
SO much cash received from Hersey &
Go. ;, which WAS taken out of his pay,
Counsel for. Cardarettel claimed
that even if he did not make the
proper charge to himself, uhen in
law no crime had been committed,
This is considered by the legal fra
ternity as the most peculiar case: ever
tried in Maine. CaidareJte had worked
for Hersey & Co. for eight years prior
to his arrest, and was very popular
among the French people. When he
was arrested, it is said Rev. A. A. HAM
ell, the French priest of St.Augustine's
church, Of which Cardarette was a
member, appeared before Judge An
drews at the preliminary h caring and
said: 81 am not in the habit of going
bonds for anyone, but will for Car
darette, as think he is innocent 1t
is further more said that Father Hamel
called on all the French residents of the
city them :. never to do any bus
mess with Hersey & Co.
This is not the last of the case by any
means, as CardaTette, in conversation
with the PRESS correspondent, said :
My father died yesterday, and shall
go to New Hampshire to attend the
funeral. But after I come back I shall
consult lawyer in regard TO suing Mr..
Herseys for false imprisonment.

RUNAWAY AT WEsTBRooK.
Two Teams and Four Men Badly Mixed
Up Yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon a bad runaway
occurred in Westbrook. Gilbert c. Dav-
is and Edward Morton started from
Portland to drive to Standish. When at
the East End the horse beanie alarmed at
a passing car and became unmanageable.
Davis leaped out and seized the horse by
the reins. At the same time, carriage
driven by DR.. Smith, who had as COM
pany Treasurer Woodman of the bank,
approached. The horse made a dash,
colliding with DR.. Smiths team, which
was upset, and both horses were thrown
down. Davis, still clinging to the borse's
head, was crushed in the tangle and
was taken out in badly demorali zed
condition. Morton, who is man we'll
advanced in years, was thrown from the
seat and received bad bruises. The occu-
pants of the other team escaped injury.
The offending animal got on its legs
again and bolted up Main street, finding a
clear course until he collided with SD.
Warren's stock house, breaking "a shaft
and driving the end of it for foot and
a half into its body, probably putting an
end to its career. The horse belonged
to M. .F.S Spear of Standish.
Mr.. Davis was badly inbred, having
two ribs fractured and breaking the
bone OF his leg above the ankle.
