ter Of fact, there 10 no increase on tobacco,
for in bulletin No. 81, part /, issued August

Mr.. Voorhees, 10 chairman, the statements
is made and approved by the treasury de-
partrnent that the duty on leaf tobacco,
not stemmed, has been reduced . per

In the list of so-caIied ''luxurles" on
which the Democrat, tariff increases the

and psrasol ribs, brass. sugar and mo-
lasses, pinespples, currants, grapes. pea

general use and in no sense Injuries On
cane sugar the increase is, over the exist
ing Law. 569.6s per cent.
There is not . family in the state OF
Washington that will not feel this increase
on the luxury" of sugar. But the duties
have been reduced on the following articles.
which Mr.. Voorhees, regards as '.neccessi-
ties: Statuary and paintings, 100 per

6s.5 per cent; playing cards. 626o per

etc, 2s0i per cent; beer. rs per cent;
rum, 80 per cent; jeweiry. 30 per cent;
laces, 1857 per cent, and SO on, including
Scotch whisky.
Senator Voorhees, Is so ignorant that he
explains the startling Republican major
ity In Maine by saying that "Maine has
but single industry. lumber, and when
lumber is placed on the free list we must
expect great Republican gains" Accord
ing to the eleventh census, in the indus
tries of Maine rs. $50 persons were en-
pioyed. Of which number only 1882 were
engaged in the lumber industry. includ-
ing all its various branches. The cotton
mills of Maine give employment to 1892
persons, or nearly twice as many as are
employed in the lumber business. The
wages paid in the lumber industry aggre-
$2,5l9.6O9, as it does not last the entire
year. In the boot and shoe industry
s3.07s. 466 were paid in wages. and in the
cotton mills $4,372,473 Altogether $685.
52s, 217 were paid in wages, of which about
8 per cent was expended in the lumber
industry.
How far from the truth 1t Is to describe
lumber as 'the single industry OF Maine"
Is illustrated ny the fact that for at least
fifteen years Maine has been obliged TO
send TO Puget sound for the spars for her
ships.

sacrifices We're useless. Nothing remained
In possession uf the Union troops except

and throughout the night preparations
were made for u grand counter attack

pcarcd in the open ground in front OF the
newly constructed parapct and opened
fire. At 1880 "A storming column emerged
from the screen of woods about 400 yards
distant, advancing In three lines upon tho
right or northeast quarter OF the work. 1t
happened that Stannard had stationed his
Spencer rifcmcn behind the parapct at that
point. Tho heavy guns captured In tho
work were unsuitable for short range fir
ing and the lighr batteries in the fort
were without ammunition, 80 salvation
depended upon The mnskcts. The first line
| OF ConfcdcrItrS came ON with n yell, hut

! and the survivors returned To the shelter of

mcdatcly started, with fierce yelli and u
rush that carried them 10 the ditch of the
| fort. The slaughter MAS terrific, and all
| who survived threw down their arms, pro-
| fcrring surrender to certain death. In the
| rcpulSc OF these two charges the riflcmon
| had expended all their Spencer cartridges,
| and the situation In the fort was dcsperate
| In the highest degree. Stannard paced the
| rampant back and forth, with his sword In
| ono hand and his hat In the oil her, nniniAt-
ing the soldiers liy gestures and we'll timed

tho snlly port, and although Confederata
bullets flow like hail. and tho teams were
shot down I'm their traces, the ammunition
reached tho parapcts In time to help re-
pulse the third and last Confederate charge.
While standing erect on tho works, direct
ing his men, Stannard received II bullet,
which shattered his right arm and sen,
him, fainting, To tho ground. With theii
attention riveted upon the enemy Advanc
ing i'm front, tho men did not learn Of the
catastrophe until tha last assault had been
repulsed, with fearful slaughter, and thsI
