The members of the Pomona Grange
on Wednesday discussed the proprety of
towns exempting manufacturing estab-
ilshments from taxation. A variety of
opinions were expressed. Nearly all
speakers united in the general sentiment
that manufactures were desirable in
town; but they did not agree as to
whether it is best to offer inducements
for them to locate. OF course constitu-
tionally the town is not allowed to ex-
empt factories; but practically a way
has been found to do this by emitting
to assess the property. Some of the
speakers advanced the idea that manu-
factories brought greater expenses for
sewers, schools and lights, and that these
expenses were a burden to the farmers,
But of course no industry. but success
full one will so increase the population as
to make those expenses necessary. Then
the question recCrs to the point whether
it is desirable to have manufactures. II
1t is desirable to have them, might it
not be well to sacrifice a little to
get them? Exemption for a
few years might attract an industry
that would otherwise go elsewhere.
There is no reason why towns should
be over-generous in these matters, how
ever; and every claimant for exemption
should be well examined before admitted
to favor.

Ny Dear Sir
Your esteemed favor of yesterday is

letters from all parts of the State, that
the friends of Temperance and Freedom,
though unexpectedly defeated, are not in

test when another election shall bring
them again to the polls.
We have cause for coDgratnlation

Which Will Be Presented to the Maine

To the Editor of the PRESS:

To the Editor of the PRESS:
Its forty years the coming fall since

Morrill, at the head Of our banner were
defeated and the noted Samuel Wells was
elected Governor of the State of Maine.
was a resident at that time of Bidde-
ford and we were in power then, in that
city and were enforcing the Maine Law,
but after our defeat in the State election
1T became a question whether we should
continue to enforce it or not, and to get
Gov. MorrilPs idea what was best to do,
wrote him for advice and the following
is copy of his letter, and thinking to-
day that as his letter was never made
public it might be well to forward you
the same TO be published as a matter of
history. The older men of the State
may be pleased to see the letter. that was
SO full of courage and faith in the future
then and the perfect revolution that took
place the next year when Hannibal Ham
lin carried the State overwhelmingly,
shows that Gov. Morrill, was seeing
plainly what took place the next year.
The original letter shall forward to
the Secretary of the Maine Historical
Society to be 6led there among the
archives of the society for preservation.
The two Morrills-Anson P. and Lot M -
were among the gifted men of our old
State of Maine ana anything of histori-
cal nature from them should be pre-
served carefully; SO I am doing little.
by calling the public attention to this
letter of Gov. Arson P. Morrill's and
having it preserved, trusting it will be
your pleasure to make it public through
the columns of the PRESS.

BILE.
Mr.. Barrett is about right in his sum-
mary of the situation. The people will
not tolerate any tinkering OF the tariff
at present. And any proposition to act
on the financial question will be con-
fronted with the fact that action is i'm
possible The House, being largely Re
publican, will undoubtedly oppose any
measure for the free coinage of silver;
and the Senate, having a free coinage
majority, will undoubtedly prevent any
financial legislation that does not pro-
vide for free coinage. The President also
stands ready to veto any free coinage
measure
Tt being evident that no proper fnan-
cial legislation can succeed, Congress
would do better to pass the needed APP
preparation bills and adjourn.
