The Summing Up OF She Victory in
Maine,

1t was a splendid victory the Repub
leans won in the Pine Tree state, and
since all the returns are in the cOnquests
foot up SO, 124 plurality. This is the larg-
est plurality ever given to the Republican
party in Maine. See the marvellous
change in public sentiment on the tariff
question: In 1892 eleven Democrats were
elected to the Maine Senate. This year
the Senate is soidly Republican. Two
years ago forty-four Democrats were
elected i'll the lower branch of the Maine
Legislature The Democratic delegation
in the present house will consist of four
lonesome individuals. each of whom is
wondering how he happened to escape the
flood. Clevelandism is producing its nat
ural result. 1t has reduced the Demo
cratic vote in Maine from 55,391 to 3O,64O
and the Democratic representation among
lhe state lawmakers to 4 quartette. For
a year and Il half the people of the North
have had to suffer disaster, poverty and
insult at the hands Of the most treacher-
Gus and imbecile administration in Amer
lean history. They recognize that the
time has come when they can effectually
answer the sugar trust cOnSpiratOrS and
the Bourbon WreckerS of Northern indus
try; and the returns in Maine show that
they propose to take full advantage of the
opportunity.

unsettled over 10000 acres of land grant
ed to railroads and wagon roads many
years ago. There are various reasons
why these lands have not been patented

that all grants where there can be no

What Prote elton Has Done for Farms
and Homes.

There are some very interesting figures
given by the census Office showing the
splendid results of protected homes and
farms in the United States. 1t is the
first investigation of the kind ever made
in this country. and the result will be read
with great interest:
OF the 12,690152 families in the whole
country, 4I.S0 per cent. own their farms
and homes, and 52.2O per cent hire; and
OF the families owning their farms and
homes 2I9I per cent. have membranes
thereon and 1908 per cent. no incum-
brance.
The number of resident owners of land
in the United States is 6,066,41I plus
such number of lana owners as may be
living in tenant families.
The farm families number 4,167, ITO, of
which 6o.92 per cent. own their own
farms and 34.S per cent. hire, while of
the owning families 2S.22 per cent. have
membranes on their farms, and Ills
per cent. have none. In 1880, 2o.06 per
cent. OF the farms were hired.
The results for 1.992.913 home families
(city and country are that $500 per cent
own their homes and $40 per cent hire
them, while of the owning families 81 10
per cent own their homes subject to in
cumbrance and 1870 per cent. free.
Among cities having 100000 population
and over, New York has the highest per-
centage of home tenancy, namely, 90. 81;
Boston is next with S157 per cent.
The value of the 1.696, $50 farms and
homes subject to incumbrance is s., 6S7.-
29S ,O69. and the incumbrance on them
IS S2.l32,949, SOB, or $3.50 per cent Of
the value.

Fired Butt End First.

In the effort to show how the Demo
cratic party has been hurt by the recent
tariff legislation, no paper has made
more forcible or truer statement than
the New DIRK World in its editorial col
umns. This distinguished Democratic
journal says:
''President Cleveland's letter would
have been very much strengthened if he
tons and whose exhibition of power
filed him with 'astonishment'
1t was the sugar trust which did
this. Why did not the President say so?
1T is the sugar ring that has raised the
issue which he defines-Whether it shall
submit to the free legislative will of the
peoples representatives, or shall dictate
the laws which the people must obey.
1T would have vastly strengthened
the Presidents Indictment if he had
named the combination and reminded
the people that its Vaccinations have re-
suited in imposing upon them
needless tax of $70.000.000 d year on the
cCmmOnest necessary of life, nearly $780,
100000 of which goes directly into the
sugar trusts treasury.
The Presidents proclamation has force
but lacks point. 1t is like an arOmr pierc-
ing shell fired butt end first
In commenting upon the Worlds edi-
tOrial, the New York Press says: ''The
above is as true as it is disgracefuI. Not
ed the Democratic tariff bill with its enor-
nous levy Of S70.000,000 a year on the
cOmmOnest necessary of life, but it was
President Cleveland's secretary of the
treasury who, in accordance with the
wishes of his master, dictated to the
finance committee of the Senate the
schedule granting this vast tribute to the
sugar trust from the pockets of the Ameri-
can people. When the Senate bill came
to conference committee Mr.. Cleveland
himself wrote a letter advising in SUBJ
stance that the sugar trust should be
permitted to keep its ill-gotten wealth.
1T is possible Mr. Cleveland does not
understand the terrible logic of the evil
dence presented against himesIf nv
himself? Otherwise he must be-
lieve the American people to be in
capable of piercing his veneer
Of pretension and measuring the depth
of his deceit. Mr.. Cleveland stands con
demned before the American people as
the author Of the policy of party peridy
and party dishOnor and the chief manipu-
latOr in the scheme of the sugar trust
which is the browning disgrace of the
infamous Congress.
