production. On all sides were seen un-
employed labor, idle machinery, smoke
less chimneys, rusting sidetracks and
empty stores. What was the trouble :?
Nothing more nor less than the fact
that many of the enterprises by which
the productive powers of the nation are
put in motion had collapsed. Now, the
paralysis we saw then on vast scale,
is something that inevitably goes with
falling prices The prolonged fail in
prices is nothing less than a chronic
commercial crisis, and we shall find ii
yielding the same results
The question Of honest dollars con
Germs every man who IS producing any
thing The only people who benefit
by an approaching standard are those
who hold money or claims for money.
The people who are injured are not
simply debtors, but every man who is
producing goods and trying to sell
them for money. I'm this gigantic
struggle il is impossible that the inter
ests OF the worlcingman should be
altered 10y the fact that he receives
payment for his product at the time
he produces il in the form OF wages.
Much has been made Of the fact that
wages change more slowly than prices
of commodities, implying that under
the gold standard the worlxingman
gets a certain benefit during this in
after the beginning of the crisis, $780,
900 men, willing to go to work, most

Of whom had families to support, were
thrown out of employment. There
had been sharp fan in the prices Of
everything I'VE buy. Wages had been
very little affected Labor had receiv-
ed it's share Of the burden, and receiv-
ed it promptly but il came not in the
form of falling wages, but in the form
of the narrowing Of a field Of employ
ment. Not lower wages, but discharge
is the first effect of falling prices on
the workingmen. After some time the
fierce competition of the unemployed
forces down wages, and labor is once
more set to work The prosperity
then, that under the gold standard the
workmgman is supposed to enjoy, from
THE fact that his wages do not fall so
rapidly as prices, is but a sawdust ban

There is no patriotic American who

trust of our institutions and the grow
ing bitterness between classes in this
country. If a mischievous boy pinches
the tails of the tabbies peacefully sleep
ing before the fire, they will promptly
begin to spit and claw at each other.
So with our producers. Angered by
the failure of business calculations and
nv the unaccountable fall i'm the value
of products, each has turned on the
nearest group and engaged in strug-
gle with it. Laborers and capitalists,
farmers and railroads, have been
jostled against each other till there is

an article from the New York Press ON
the Hon. Arthur Sewall as an employer
Of labor Although the Times copied
the article, it In no sense stood sponsor
for its sentiments and statements. The
article appeared in this paper merely
as current news or gossip of particular
interest to the people of Sagadahoc
county. The article was reprinted,
however, without the knowledge ct the
editor, who was absent from the OF
fee at the time, owing to ill health.
The writer would not have reprinted
the article, at least not without unta-
vorable comment, for he has personal
knowledge that many of its statements
are erroneous, and accepts the assur-
ance of those cognizant of the facts of
the case that it is entirely false in its
essential details. The Times does not
indorse such personalities, not to say
Misrepresentation for whatever cause
EMPLOYED. There are plenty OF leglti-
mafe reasons for voting against our
felqow-townsman The resort to per"
sonalities is unnecessary ana reprenen-
sible. ~ "
One of the statements referred TO
here is regarding terrible strike
which was located in the Sewau yard,
at a time when the Sewalls were not
building ships, and 50 could not have
had a strike even if their hearts were
yearning for one.
That the people of Maine generally
understood the animus OF Mr.. Bate
man i'm this campaign is shown by the
fact that mis- vote of two years ago was
nearly 40 per cent. larger than the vote
he received this year. In contrast with
his falling off 90 the insignificant vote
of 1864 is the gain of liz per cent. shown
bv Maine Democrats over the vote of
two years ago. although then the party
had not been divided, had the admin
istration behind it. and candidate for
Governor who had formerly served,
while this year gold Democrats joined
the Republicans, the candidate for
Governor withdrew. and a new candi-
date with a new platform had to be
chosen after the campaign had really
opened in Maine. Under these cir |
cumstances. the gain of u per cent. |
speaks volumes,
Mr.. Sewall has been an active silver |
man for the past ten years, and has |
several times suffered condemnation |
for these views in State and district |
With his clean record as a |
friend of labor, he can afford to laugh |

THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA.
Did it Furnish a Majority of the Bolto-
cratic Convention?


cratic Convention?
To the Editor: Bold faced assertion
is but fiimsy argument.
Here is specimen from so-called
Democrat, as published in yours of
last Sunday.
''Of the eight hundred and odd dele
gates that gathered at indianapolis to
nominate Palmer and Buckner, by ac-
tual count, more than $50 were gradu-
ates of the University of Virginia, ac-
cording to my Informant.
The great majority of these came
from the South, and as they imbibed
their learning in view of the historic
old home of the Sage of Monticello,
they feel that they have a right To
take out letters patent on the much
used and much abused title of Jeffer-
sonian Democrats y. S. c., in Atlanta
Journal"
1t is needless TO say that the allie
gator is of the mongrel annex to the
Mckinley column.
Admitting for the sake Of argument
that almost one-third of the burlesque
gold Democratic convention, lately as
sembled at indianapolis, were gradu-
ates of that honored institution, the
University of Virginia, and what does
it amount to? just about the same
as if the entire lot had been graduates
of once honored college University is,
| believe, the lately modernized term,
which has been rendered ludicrously
famous in the past week by the ASSN
inc cries of "Rah-rah-rah, Ajax AK
Ya-a-a-le, &c. by the pack of black
guard hoodlums who tried to howl
down a far bigger MAN than ''Ya-ya-ya-
le'' has ever turned out from it's class
ic halls, including present, infinite and
infinitesimal possibilities. Big schools
do not always turn out the biggest
men On the contrary quite the reverse.
But to return to the astounding
statement of this Georgia delegate, .
by "actual count more than $50 were
graduates of the University of Vir-
ginia." When told that since the great
Jefferson put the imprint of Finish
ed on that one of his three noblest
monuments, as recorded by epitaph,
scarcely that number has been gradu-
ates, certainly not double that number
of graduates reckoning the degree of A.
NJ. of the University of Virginia 1.-THE
| highest American scholastic recogniZ-
| ed by European Universities) as test of
graduation, ''the Georgia delegate" will
perhaps admit that he has slightly
erred or played the fool in claim
| Apart from numerical impossibility by
ordinary or even extraordinary calcu-
lation, the claim stands against 1ea-
son, though vouched for by that entire
body of decov ducks, double de lie1s
and disorganizers.
That the founder of the University
of Virginia, 1.-The Sage of Monticello
was Democrat and the father of al
true Democrats thence on, goes with
out question. That ne was ever a
''bolter'' or recreant to his life long
and consistent tenets, as insinuated il
context of article referred to, requires
stronger proof than the assertion Of
the Georgia delegate"
