What The Tariff is Doing.

''If we expect to sell our goods abroad
erect Chinese wall of protection about
this country We quote this sentence.
not that we are sure the very words have
ever been written or spoken in the exact
relation in which they here appear, but
because they summarize the sentiment so
often expressed in every free trade organ
and from almost every Democratic plat
form in the two last presidential cam
pa!gns.
1t is fortunately or unfortunately I'M
necessary to longer lombard this ridicu
lous assertion with theories and PROPOSE
tons for we now have the facts The
past year under the Wilson German tariff
our exports exceeded our imports by only
s23, coo, 900. whereas for the previous
seventeen years, except in two the average
surplus in the value of exports over inn
ports has been more than 500, 900, 000
This balance of trade served to balance
in many years the ouigo in the form of
interest on our securities held abroad and
to bring US the gold we needed. And yet
we presume there are Democrats to be
found who will declare that this adverse
balance Of trade the past year has nothing
whatever to do with the outgo of gold
from this country.
While the balance of trade has worked
so seriously against US, millions of dollars
have been lost to the country because OF
the increased importations. While in
1894 men S wear goods to the amount of
Sc, 900, 900 were imported the imports for
1895 were over $4,000, 900. In dress
goods the value of imports in 1894 was
81, 500, 600 whereas last year the value
was $22, 800, 90. OF course this alarming
difference is more marked because OF
duller times in 1894 but it should be
borne in mind that the imports for 1895
show an increase of 1867 per cent over
those of 1892 and this year will probably
be greater

A Valuable Invention

A test made this week in New York
harbor appears to demonstrate conclu
sively that an invention long desired and
sought has been perfected and found
practicable 1t is called the eophone. 1t
is said to be quite simple and compare
lively inexpensive, while the advantages
which may be derived from its use appear
incalculable. The necessity for quick
trips of ocean steamers subjects them to
the fogs of the North Atlantic and en-
hances the danger by reason of the in
creased speed maintained in running
through such fog BY means Of this
eophonc blindfolded pilot has been Ell
abled to follow, simply by means of
sound steamboat lacking and doubling
to avoid pursuit.
1t is claimed for the instrument, that
by use of 1t spar buoys can be picked up
from the echo of the boats whistle, also
that approach to land can be determined
by the revcrberations of the whistle where
there are cliffs or tall houses Thus it
would seem that the eophone would be as
effective in determining the nearness OF
an iceberg, provided the steamer S whistle
be sounding at the time, as to determine
the approach of another vessel 1t is
said that the eophone also picks ND and
transmits to the listener the slightest
noise made by torpedo boat and would
| thus seem likely to exert qualifying in.
fluence upon the value of this arm of the
naval service.
| The inventor of the eophone is Balti
more scientist, Frank de la Tore The
simplest description of the instrument i,
that 1t consists of two bell -mouthet
sound receivers separated by contra
diaphragm. The sound receivers are con
nected to the two ears, and, when pointed
directly at Il source of sound, the noise i,
the same in each ear. When turned
away the sound Is heard in only one ear
On shipboard the sound catching ans
dividing part of the Instrument EXTEND
above the top of the chart house. Tn,
tubes are brought within the chart house
anu the Instrument may be turned from
poiow To point III any desired direction.

from like source. The one was brought
about only by long and bloody warfare
aud the years of experience following
upon the wholesome lesson the British
then learned. The other was Il spon-
tancous response to the manly stand
taken by the American people and the
the assumption of that attitude. 1t
dawns upon the English people that we
had cause; that their government had
been guilty Of that which they could not
afford to countcnance. The folly Of war
and the advantages of peace with the
United States haven't been impressed so
clearly upon the minds of the average
Briton for three quarters of century, II
ever He sees now that there is honor
and justice in arbitration, where there
would have been dishonor and injustice
in refusal and coercion.
1t is only within a comparatively few
years that the English people have recog
nized that only through the severe lesson
which George Washington and the
American patriots were able to teach
them in the seven long years of the
Revolutionary war did England learn how
to govern her colonies wisely, to retain
their allegiance and attain to a success in
colonization that has never been APP
preached by any other nation of the
globe. But England has by no means
been the only one to profit from the ex-
ample of Washington. The precepts he
laid down. the principles which guided
him. the conservatism, dignity and integ-
rty of his public career are priceless be-
quests, that caunot be too carefully
cherished. and whiUh have been proved TO
be us applicable in their broad sense to
the conditions existing today rs to those
of IA century ago

Presidential Electors Must all be
Chosen in State Convention.

EfEE DR9C Nh W.
REPUBLICAN, STATE COMMITTEE,
AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN. 2S, 1896.

To the Republicans of Maine:-Prior to 1892
two Presidential electors at large. correspond
ing to the two United states senators, were
nominated in State convention, and the re-
naming electors, corresponding to the mem
bers of the United States House of Represen-
ratives were nominated by the several con-
gressional district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot law en-
tirely changed the procedure. Under the law.
all Conventions are portion of our election
system, and this ballot act requires that can
dldates to be voted for by the Voters through
out the whole state must be placed in nomina-
ton by Convention representing no less a
constituency than the whole state. Hence, all
the candidates of a party for Presidential cleo
tors must be nominated in State Convention,
and have therefore included in the call six
electors.

The Boston Herald is arguing for a
duty upon tea on the ground that such a
duty would result in the importation of a
better class Of tea and thus afford pro-
lection to our tea drinkers. Shades of

belief were it not written in black and
white Protection g. our tea drinkers
1t almost takes ones breath away to
think that the Herald should have
forgotten that the prime article in
its faith is, that protection to anybody or
anything in this country is unconstitu-
tional. The very reason advanced by the
Herald heretofore, why tea should be
taxed, was that such tariff could afford
no protection but would serve as IA tax
direct upon the consumer, so that the
poor man who drank as much tea as the
millionaire should pay as much tax as the
millionaire. Verify the Herald is in deep
water on the tariff. Look out for the
