of business, and those that are operating
have found it necessary to reduce the
cost of production. The outlook for the
coming winter is equally dismal. A promi-
nent lumberman informs US that not more
than fifty per cent. of the logs cut last win
ter will be cut this season. As the Cana
disns have free access to our market it is,
of course. obvious that the same rate of
wages must prevail in the Maine woods that
is paid in Canada. Our lumbermen can
not afford to pay from Sl3 to $24
for labor, the product of which is
to come into free competition with
product of labor costing from $40 to
SIT per month. This is problem every
man can easily understand. 1t will be nee
essary to reduce the scale of the wages to
the Canadian level and the men who work
in the woods in the winter and in the mills
in summer have the Democratic party to
thank for this change in their condition.
Will they vote with that party on Monday
next? If they do they vote an endorsement
of the party that has taken away their
wages,

why it was infamous for senators to favor
the protection which he had proposed to
give this same trust. When this ugly fact
is placed with the letter of Secretary Car
Isle defeating the free sugar bill in the
senate. and with President Cleveland's
letter to Wilson suggesting that in con-
ference sugar ought to be considered Il
proper subject of revenue, and with the
evidence that certain senators, when man
aging the presidential campaign of 1892,
had expressly pledged a duty on sugar
with Mr.. Cleyelands assent, after which
the sugar contributions to the Democratic
campaign fund were liberal, it may be
realized that the administration and Mr..
Wilson are not in position to talk very
loosely about the misconduct of that par
Iicular monopoly.
Mr. Wilson seconds Mr. Cleveland in
threatening industries with a renewal of
tariff agitation. True, he explains that
the intention is not to make another gen
cral revision, but he knows perfectly well
that he does not intend, if he can help it,
70 allow the present cotton wooden or iron
schedules to stand as they were framed by
the "compromisers' in the senate. He
also knows that there are scores of Demo
Gratis who if he does not, will move a
change of these duties as an amendment to
any bill proposing to make iron ore or
coal free of duty. In word, 1t is nothing
but fraud to pretend that the renewed
agitation threatened by Chairman Wilson
and the president will be or can be confined
within narrow lines. If the Democratic
party should be sustained by the people at
all, it would certainly make desperate
effort at the session next winter to pass
bill essentially unlike the measure framed
in the senate, and accepted under compul-
sion by the house. New York Tribune

The death, suffering and damage caused
by forest fires in Minnesota and Wisconsin
this week cannot be estimated or compre-
hended by Eastern people to whom such
terrible catastrophes are unknown. To think
of whole villages swept out of existence
together with most of the inhabitants is in
comprehensive. To think of hundreds,
thousands of human bsings dying in flames
and suffering the most excruciating agonles
of one of the most horrible deaths almost
paralyzes sympathy. Indeed may we be
thankful that we are spared such
horrors, possible in a new, unprotected
prairie and wooded country parched with
months of drouth and such thankfulness
can best express itself in contribution to al
leviate the suffering and destituiion of those
who have suffered but escaped the awful
calamity.

An UnsOphisticated Maid.

Speaking of presidents reminds me OF
an amusing incident of the late Present
Arthur's administration which, l believe,
has never been related before
As is well known, Mr. Arthur was some
thing of an athlete and pedestrian. He
seldom used his carriage for about town
visiting. One evening he called at the
residence Of a friend In the west end. He
rang the doorbell and coiored woman
answered the call. The servant did not
recognize the president, and in pert
manner informed him that none of the
members OF the family was at home.
President Arthur apparently doubted her
statement, and in his most courteous style
said:
II am President Arthur"
II am Clara Brown" promptly replied
the domestic, acknowledging the self in
PRODUCTION of the president. The latter re-
traced his steps to the White House, while
Clara went down stairs to tell her fellow
servants of the politeness of the president
in introducing himself to her The old
cook heard the unsophisticated housemaid
relate her story and exclaimed: "You'sc a
fool niger. He didn't tend to introduce
hisself to you. He was simply leaving his
name for de family. nzWashipgton Post.

There is ample food for reflection for
all wage earners in the following statement
of Mr.. Reed in his recent mastery address
at lewiston: Cup to 90 the wages in the
country had been steadily rising so that
where the workingman got 81 in 1860, in
1892 he got $40. In addition to this, the
price of commodities which the working
man bought had been lowered to such an
extent that S1.70 would buy as much in
1892 as 81 ,9S would buy in 1860. Thus,
under the 50 years Republican admin
istration. wages had really doubled"
Under Democratic rule this condition of
affairs has been radically changed, and
wages have been going steadily downward
while an army Of the unemployed" has
come into existence, with constantly aug
menting numbers. In view of these facts
we see no possible reason why any wage
Garner of this country should give his sup
port to the Democratic party.

them had been burned into them. The vote
of the Democrats in that state indicates that
many, ashamed to go to the polls and lack
ing in the moral courage to vote for the
party capable Of management staid at home ;
but also that good number with courage
born of convictions instilled into them by
eighteen months imbecility at Washington,
realizing that the Democratic party
had cut loose from its moor
ings of respectability, went to the
polls like freemen determined to do their
duty in supporting wise government, and
voted the straight Republican tick
ct. All honor to the men who so
wisely decided the alternative, good gov
eminent or blindly submitting to the lead
ersbip of the blind.
Vermont has given US glorious Repub-
lican victory not that the State went Re-
publican, but that the majority was over
whelming. Everyone expected the State
to elect Republican ticket, Re-
publcans all over the land hoped they
would do it handsomely, but no one dared
expect such an emphatic result. 1t
came however. The people had been think
ing. The propositions before them were
indeed plain business propositions, but they
could not consider them indifferently. The
relentless features Of sectional hostilitywere
not only between but in the lines of the in-
famous tariff bill. Intolerable incompetency
could not be overlooked. Men enjoying the
right Of suffrage saw clearly their unmistak-
able duty. And it is asubject for congratula-
ton that they did their duty according tothe
light of their intelligence and the dictates of
their consciences.
Maine Republicans should do no less than
their Vermont bretheren. 1t is not charac-
teristic of Maine Republicans to be out
done. Their intelligence at least is not
second to that of the voters of any state in
this great Union and certainly their con-
sciences are as quick. They. like the people
of Vermont have seen their interests suhor-
dinated by Democratic administration to
those of Canada. They have been told
by acts that speak above the din
of protestation, that the Democrats are not
salts fed with the destruction they have
wrought, with the severity of the blow to
Northern industries, and Maine has surely
received her share, but that they propose
to continue the work, to paralyze business
with other changes and further reductions
of tariff so soon as they msy have the op,
portunity. The Republicans of Maine can
do much to thwart this pernicious purpose
and they can do it by coming to the polls,
every man of Them on election day. They
can do more by such united effort to en-
thuse the country than can all the speeches
and editorials combined.
AS in Vermont the Populist and so-called
Prohibition party were nonentities, so we
believe it will be in Maine.
All that remains to be done is to register
the sentiment of all the people and such a
wave of Republican victory will be rolled
up that its influence will be felt from Maine
through every state to the confines of Il c
Union.
Names turn next is welcome call. II
