The attention of taxpayers is called to
,he communication in another column from
DR.. J. w. North.
The attention of taxpay ers is also called
to the communication from Hon. S. W.
Lane, which We publish this morning.
We would say to those who bear the
financial burdens of this city, read those
communications from these prominent citi-
zens and compare them with the statements
which have emanated from the Democratic
headquarters both through the columns Of
the New Age, and the posters and dodgers
which are being circulated far and vide.
We trust to the intelligence of the tax
payers of thi, municipality to discriminate
between the calm, direct statements on the
one siie and the exaggerated, irresponsible,
unsu bstantiated statements made by the
Democrats.
We would also call attention to the files
of The KENNEBEc Journal. We would
like to have our readers go back to the files
of the New Age, to resurrect the yellow
posters ard y ing dodgers which were cir
culated by the Democracy o, year ego.
You know Il at their promises remain un-
fulfilled. You know if you will take the
pains to reflect upon the matter that the
statements in the KENNEBEc Journal for
the past year have been verified. We wish
to say that we believe cur statements during
this CAMPAIGN will be verified. In making
our estimates we hive felt that the truth if
it could be Dug cut from under the debris of
the present administration and the tar
pagers ,cho questioned Treasurer Fuller
haze found ho,r tlid,eu.t and h0c merit to

Democratic rate 81 IA mills.
Debt increased $4,000.
Pay the debt Of 1893 and the
rate in 1894 must be 81 mills.
Highest Republican rate 20
mills. Debt reduced $500
Had the Republicans remained
in power they would have done
all the Democrats have done on
a tax rate Of 20 mills.
Aud itor Lanes estimate one
year ago showed how it could be
done.
But the Democrats have made
no permanent improvements,
unless obliged to, and those OF
little value.
And they have spent consider
ably more every month than did
the Republicans and have a big
deficit.

A Startling Disappearance.

We look ia vain through the columns Of
the last issue of the New Age for single
reference TO City Auditor Turner or his
figures. Amid all the wilderness of italics,
full face ana spread heads. that take the
plaSebf facts and arguments with our con-
temporsry-we look for one single allusion
to this city flicial-and yet the Age pre-
tends, is de Il with the finances of the
city of Augusta. What has Mr..
Turner done that he should have
been thus summarily relocated to OBJ
security snd his figures coldly and scorn-
fully ignored? Is there any claim that he
has not attended to the duties conscien-
tiously and to the best of his ability? We
are aware of none, Why then is he &C
corded such coniemptuous treatment turned
under, disregsrdeo, and, in fact. entirely
overlooked by his Democratic associates?
The answer is simply: Mr.. Tur-
ner told too much truth. Now
the Democratic managers do not object to
little truth now and then, for change in
their programme, but they insist that ii

A Shallow Trick.

The last desperate move of a lost cause is
the sending out by certain Democratic
official Of letters telling the taxpayers that
the Democrats if continued in power an
This shallow trick is SO empty Of any
grain of truth, is so brazen, that one is in
clined to laugh at it.
The officials or persons standing sponsor
have very little conception of the intelli-
gence of those who pay the taxes in Au-
gusta.
The statement of the Demo cratic city treas
urer when analysed demonstrates the falsity
of this letter.
Does anyone think that an administration
which has spent more each month of the
year for current expenses than did the Re
publican city government preceding it,
which has not lived within its assessment,
which goes out of power leaving deficit
of thousands of dollars, which made
only a few makeshift Improvements,
had less than $500 in the treasury before
roll of accounts amounting to nearly
$500, though represent ng small, very
small, part of outstanding bills, was passed,
city government which makes its annual
estimates on ii of the u months and then
runs behind, is anyone SO gullible as to sup
pose for an instant that it is possible for
the same administration to lower the tax
rate and pay the bills?
1t is simply preposterous and not worthy
of consideration

The Democrats who reside in the vicinity
of the New Age office have very poor
opinion of the intelligence of the voters of

Bourbon screeds signed "Indspendent Re

A STRANGE CASE.
How an Enemy was Fooled.

The following graphic statement will be
read with intense interest: Il cannot describe
the numb creepy sensation that existed in my
arms. hands and legs. l had TO rub and beat
those parts until they were sore, to overcome
in a measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession Of them. In addition, / had
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an indescribable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said it
was creeping paralysis. from which, accord
ing 10 their universal conclusion, there is no
rehef. Once il fastens upon a person, they
say, it continues its insidious progress until
it reaches vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. | had been doctoring
a year and a half steadily, but with no par
iicuar benefit, when saw an advertisement
of DIR Miles Restorative Nervine, procured a
bottle and began using IL. Marvellous as it
may seem. but few days had passed before

and there has not been even the slightest
Indication of its return. l now feel as
