MEANING OF THE MAINE ELECTION

The apparent unanimity of the
vote in Maine-by which n solid Re.
publican State Senate is returned
affords an unique object lesson o:
marvellous interest. No wonder if
every New England State should go
solidlY against the Wilson tariff re-
form aud for revival OF Mckinley.
ism. For thirty. two years all tariff
legislation has been shaped espec-
tally for the enrichment of New
England at the expense of almost
every other section of the country.
The census statistics show that be-
tween 1880 and 1890 the wealth of
New England increased 1915, 900,
900. But in the same period the
aggregate increase of wealth in New
Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia,
Indiana, South Carolina, Iowa,
Alabama and Nebraska was lin all
these States) only S614, 900, 900, de-
spite the fact that the population
Of these States sums up twice that
Of all New England. While the
wealth Of Maine increased S73, 100.
385, the wealth Of West Virginia
and Maryland each increased only
S3l 900. There is nothing strange
therefore that highly protected
New England which has so long
reaped annually many millions Of
dollars exacted from less favored
sister States, should be solid against
progressive tariff, which would
equalizo burdens and gradually put
an end to the stupendOus robbery
Of tariff taxation.
The solldity Of Name for re-
vival Of this system Of Wholesale
plundering of the people for the
benefit of manufacturing trusts and
favored classes ought to arouse
every patriot in the land to redou-
bic his efforts to give the finishing
blow to every form Of McKinleyism.
No people fit for freedom will let
this monster survive. N. y. HeraM
