of these vessels, the Carrie A. Lane, a
three masted schooner Of less than 800

this voyage.
His Faith In Our Merchant Marine.
Though little given to exploiting his
opinions, Mr.. Sewall can always be
aroused to enthusiasm on his favorite
topic Of the future of Americas mer-
chant marine.
He said in 1894: eve Will yet build
as many steel ships as we have wooden
ones if congress will only continue to
keep out foreign ships from competition
in our own trade with those built on
this side / would like to see all our
ships continued to be treated AS well rs
we have our coastwise traffic. in which
case we are sure to have at no distant
day the finest merchant marine afloat.
The only reason that we have any large
ships ahoat today is because the New
York and San Francisco trade comes
within the definition Of coastwise traffic.
''There is a great surplus tonnage
afioat, it is true, but with that it sim
ply comes to a question Of the survival
of the fittest, and we could be counted
upon to take far more than our share.
Americans can compete with the world
at shipbuilding in wood today. We are
rapidly nearing the point where we can
do 50 in the case of steel and iron ships.

Mr.. Sewall' s views on the silver ques-
ton are most pronounced, and it is said
that he utterly repudiates the allegation
that he is a recent convert to the free
coinage theory, but claims, on the con
trary, that he was one Of the pioneers
| of the movement in Maine.
Mr. Sewall's manner with men is
plain spoken and direct. He possesses
few of the graces Of the orator, but be
looks into the eyes Of those to whom he
addresses himself and the matter us
well as the method Of his speech is sin
cere and convincing An excellent ex-
ample Of the simplicity Of his language
and his fidelity to the principles Of his
party can be found i'll his words when

The latest novelty in photograph

is made of white and lavender and has
pansies embroidered in such a way as
to cause the col0rs to blend.
The foundation is an oblong frame
somewhat larger than the conventional
one. A piece Of heavy cardboard, u
inches by 10, with an oval opening in
the center and a similar piece left in
tact for the back, is all that is required.
Cut the white linen, which should be
fine, to fit the frame and mark on it
the size and shape Of the opening. Then
cut an oval Of the lavender, which shall
extend outside the opening for ~
inches on all sides, and III the center Of
it cut the smaller oval space for the pic

width of an inch from the edge of the

Type Of the New England business
Man-He Began Life as an Apprentice.
The Great Apostle of Wooden Ships-His
Wife Is an Artist, and One of His Sons Is
Repnblican-Mr. sewaII's Plain Words
About Free Coinage.
Arthur Sewall of Bath, Me-, the
Democratic nominee for vice president,
is better known as a man of business
than us politician, although for many
years past he has taken prominent part
in the councils of the Democratic party.
He is type of the New England busi-
ness and social magnate as developed in
the rough, hard working communities
of Maine.
The elder Sewall was shipbuilder
il Bath, Me-, in the early years of the
century, and his son Arthur succeeded
to the business.
They are an old and illustrious fam
lily, coming to this country from Gov
entry, England, in 1884.
In the colonial times the Sewalls were
prominent in public affairs always.
Dummer Sewall grandfather of the
present Arthur, went to Maine in 1862
and purchased the tract of land whereon
now stand the Sewall homes and ship
yards.
William D. Sewall, son of Dunn
mer, was the first shipwright Of the
family, beginning with his first ship in
1923. He always built for himself, and,
as a rule, besides continuing to own the
vessels, some member Of the family cap
tanned them until the number became
too numerous for the family to supply
with officers.
In the 73 years since they began they
have turned out brigs, 81 full rugged
ships, II schooners, barks-all wooden
and in the last few years have turned
their attention to steel vessels, Of which
the Dirigo was the first.
The family had no small fame at one
time as being the owners and builders
Of the largest vessels afloat.
Arthur Sewall was boru Nov. 25,
1885. He was educated in the public
schools Of his native city and entered
his fathers shipyard as an apprentice.
In the course of time he and his brother
Edward succeeded to the business. They
formed the firm of E. & A. Sewall. This
was in the year 1854 When Edward
Sewall died, in 1879, the firm name be-
came A Sewall & Co.

A Fortune Wen won.


By successful management Of his va
rious shipping interests Mr.. Sewall has
amassed a considerable fortune. He is a
man of sterling integrity and general
worth and has always held high place
socially in the community i'll which he
has lived from childhood.
Mr.. Sewall served in the city govern
ment as alderman two years. He was
director Of the Maine Central railroad,
and early in the eighties became its
president. In 1888 he became president
Of the Eastern road and continued in
that office until after its consolidation
with the Boston and Maine, when he
was made director in the latter COM
pany. In 1888 he was chosen a member
Of the national Democratic committee.
In 1872 he was present at the Demo-
cratic national convention in Cincinnati
and saw Horace Greeley nominated. In
1880 he was a delegate at large from
Maine to the national Democratic con-
vention at ST. Louis, and in 1884 was
present at the Democratic national CON
vention that nominated Cleveland, and a
delegate at large to the st. Louis con
vention in 1892 Although Bath has al
ways been hopelessly Republican, Mr..
6ewaII mas been lifelong Democrat.
Personally Mr. Sewall is strong,
courageous, competent and we'll ball
anced mentally and physically. To use
the common phrase, he carries his age
well. He is a splendid example of
physical manhood, has a sOldierly bear
ing and is what might be termed fine
looking man.
Although his hair and mustache are
slightly tinged with gray, the wrinkles
of age have scarcely made their appear
ance upon his face, and he looks ten
years younger than he really is. He has
strong, massive features; full, penetrat-
ing eyes, and a large, stalwart figure,
that seems as solid as a wall Of rock.
He is highly esteemed by his neighbors,
who say of him that he is an ideal citi-
zen and a firm friend.
In 1859 Mr.. Sewall married Emily
Duncan Crooker, daughter Of promi-
nent citizen Of Bath Three children
were born to them-Harold NJ. Sewall,
former consul general to Samoa; Viii
liam d. Sewall, junior member of the
shipbuilding firm, and pummer Sewall,
who died in infancy. Harold Sewall
was sent to Samoa at the time of the
Samoan outbreak by President Cleve-
land.
Sewalrs Republican Son.
The political course Of Harold M.
Sewall has been somewhat peculiar.
From an active and enthusiastic Demo
crat lie has become a rampant Repub-
lican. This change of front was said to
have been a result Of what he considered
the party's failure in administration.
Young Sewall was one Of the. leaders Of
the Reed delegation at ST. Louis and is
one of the leaders of the Young Re
publican movement i'll Maine. His
name will always be mentioned in con-
nection with the late history of Samoa.
He was born in Bath in 1860. Having
been fitted for college in the public

bic circumstances he may get $1.25,
and know of few, extra men, who
in government shops and railway
service get $l.50 (aboat so cents in
American money!. Occasionally.
where men go away from their
families, or the work may require
peculiar skill, or the employers are
unusually liberal, slightly higher
figure will be paid. But the average
is about 81, and the large majority
of Mexican blacksmitLs, carpenters,
tailors and other artisans receive
only 70 cents per day, or 80 cents in
American money. In my remaining
figures, to avoid repetition, will
give the amounts in United States
sound money, A policeman gets
81 cents per day, common laborer
from 1S to 30 cents. Postal carriers
get from Sc to $15 per month,
Clerks receive from SIG to $40 per
month. House rent for the poorest
laborer here is from l.50 to S3 per
month, gold, of course.
For $50 years silver has flowed
forth IN an uninterrupted and prolific
stream, finding its way into the ends
of the earth; but the laborlng classes
of Mexico are worse off, and have
been, than were their progenitors
before the working OF. the mines COM
menced. / can hardly understand
the blind fatuity of my countrymen
who want free coinage of silver.
If they are successful in engrafting

as silver is concerned, supon the
American people, they. certainly will
rue the day.

John Boyd Thatcher, Democratic
nominee for governor of New York,
who refused to stand on Bryan's
platform, and who sees the hopeless
ness of the case, has declined to
make the race. The Democrats of
New York are going from bad to
worse 1n their campaign, and if they
do not find a man very soon who is
Populist enough to make the race,
they will not have time to int oduce
him to the voters.

Wheat has an upward tendency,
but silver is lower than ever. This
is strange phenomena, in view of
the assertions of Bryan and the other
Populists. Four years ago Bryan
and his party declared that repeal
of the protective tariff would bring
the price of wheat to 81; but the
price fell about fifty per cent. This
was another remarkable phenomenon.
