Sc WALL n HELP.


The richest man in Maine,
His wealth is estimated at g.. .OOO. 900 or
s6, 100000.
He is the president of the American
Shipping League, an iron clad and COP
per fastened trust Of slip builders and
owners, screwed up tighter than any other
tarif-protccted trust IN the country.
He is president and owner of the nation
oil bank of Bath, Maine.
Heis large owner of stock in national
banks la Portland and Boston.
lie is ex-president and is now one of
the directors of the Maine Central Rail
way company, describea 40 the most
grasping and powerful railway corpora
tion in New England.
Heis stockholier and director In near.
ly every corporate monopoly In the state
of Maine and in many other New En-.
gland corporations.
He is lumber baron and sawlog king.
He is the proprietor of the biggest ship
yard In New England, a tarff-proteeted
monopoly.
He is typical capitalist, monopolist,
LOBBYIST and plutocrat.
And this IS being published and
republlshed by the boiling press as
an argument to the silver men against
Mr.. Sewall and with an eye TO injur
ing democratic chances for success
in November.
But in our opinion Mr.. Sewall q
connection with the ticket will have
the opposite effect, or at least il
should inasmuch as Mr.. Sewall, O
very rich man, employing millions of
money in commerce, consented
to have his name affixed to the tick
ct which every gold man believes will
undermine our sound financial sys-
tenn. Could the advocates of free
coinage wish for better proof In sup
port Of their theory than the approx
al Of II by great capitalist2
We were wont TO believe that it
was the poor man, or those who Ia.
bored for silver in the poor man 8
interest, believing that 1t would be
productive of prosperity, who wish
ed for, the. rehabilitation of the white
metal; but that Capitalist, mono
polist, plutocrat, "and why not add q
Croseus, too, should link his name
TO ticket Of "repudiation and dis
honesty" is something of revsla-
tion to US.
The argument that Mr.. Bryan 10 a
destroyer Of security, an agitator re-
presenting reputation, bankruptcy
and all the worse instincts q repub-
lie Is susceptible to, is, to all pur1
poses, answered by the presence Of
Mr.. SewaIi. Surely, II Mr.. Bryan
wants free coinage at the ratio Of six
teen.to one that he may repudiate
his honest debts by one-half, why
does Mr.. Sewall want it? That be
may be impoverished and bankrupt
ed? A little thinking will show the
bolting element how ridiculous is its
Argument.
THE POPULLST CON VENTION
The populist convention is now as,
sembled at st. Louis.
No nominations have as yet beer
decided upon, but it believed tha
their deliberation will result In th'
nomination of Bryan and Sewall
The silver party now in session il
the same city is only making pre-.
tense of business its nomination oi
the national democratic ticket wai
settled on before the convention met
With the support Of these two
parties the democratic party will
make things look rather gloomy fol
the party of protection before Nov
ember rolls around.
Some Of the original populists
among which are Burkitt. Brown
"Cyclone" Davis ard Butler, ar,
holding out against the proposed
nomination Of the democratic ticket
These gentlemen Of ungodly politics
say they are not satisfied with fre,
