Republican senators are worrying the
Democratic senators somewhat in the
tariff discussion. Upon two Gee customs
they made a proposition to come to a
direct vote upon the tariff bill but the
majority party did not dare entertain
the proposition. They did not dare
trust the measure as it was. Mean
while, President Cleveland and Carlisle
are bending their energies and using
their great power to harmonic their
party and make bill that shall conf
mand the support of Democrats enough
to carry it. To this end they make con-
eessions to States having Democratic
senator's by placing many articles on
the protected lists. But these articles
do not include wool, lumber, potatoes,
ETC., in which Maine is most interested.

Mr.. Egan that in ten years Roman Cath
Ollie institutions in the city of New York
have been supported by taxation in the
sum of $5,526. 7SS?
Poor, ignorant Mr.. Egan! You would
better recall that letter. The American
Protective Association have the figures
on you, and a large part Of the remain
ing 100000 people of the nation have
their eyes upon you and upon others
even II you do throw sand. And whether
II is by the American Protective AssO-
citation, which, of course, cannot &C
complish all its objects, or by the sound
sober, steady remnant of the American
people, this agitation will continue until
the nefarious system of our congress in
supporting sectarian institutions will be
compelled to cease. If Mr.. Egan and
his people will retire from their demand
for financial support, well. But If not,
the seed is sown which will grow tares
and thistles for the man of unholy greed
who dares tread on American soil.
