James Plummcr, clerk of the board of
State assessors says that there have been, by
far. greater number of inquiries on mat

inc what to tax, and what not to tax, and

The extent to which Investigations have
been carried, this year, however, seems to
signify an interest, coupled with an inclina-
ton on the part of the municipal officers TO
get things just as they should be.

STATE RAILROADS
Taxed $l52,869.72 In 1895
Increase Of $7906.81.
The State Assessors Receive Many
Inquiries on Subject Of Taxation.
Governor Cleaves Expected 10 Soon Appoint
Member OF Fish Commission.

The excise tax on railroads doing busi-
ness in this State has been made up by the
board of State assessors for the year just
ended showing total taxation of $l52,-
S69.12. against Sl44 ,9629l for the previous
year.
These figures show a most satisfactory
increase for the past year of s. ,906.Sl.
The table given below shows the taxes
levied on each Of the railroad companies
for 1898 and 1896, including horse and
electric roads doing business in the State
The law requires that all railroad com
panes shall pay one-quarter of one per
cent which have average gross receipts per
mile of $500. For every $3.50 additional
onc-quarter of per cent is added, with the
limitation, however, that no road shall pay
over IA per cent. onits gross receipts per
mile. During the past year, the Boston
Maine Il. II. reached this limit.
An additional limitation is made on roads
which are only used for carrying freight,
81 per cent. being the highest required.
In the case of ''foreign" railroads, which
run into the State as with the Boston 4
Maine, for instance, the average gross re-
ceipts of that company is used as the basis
for computing the average of the gross re-
ceipts per mile of business done in this
State.
In tho of rnilrnol- all ba,finO
average gross receipts per mile of $1,000
and under. pay lilo of one per cent, and
for every 1000 additional, the same tax is
added.
The following shows the comparative
business done by each of the roads during
the past two years. 1t will be understood
however, that, from the requirements of
the law, a road one year might reach over
a fractional per cent. mark, just enough
to cross the line, as it were, and land into
the next class above, or below, as the case
might be- The tax in this case, or in its
yica versa, would show larger change
than there was the actual business.
1t will be noted that the Boston &
Maine Railroad and the Maine Central
Railroad, both show gratifying in
ereases. The Bangor & Aroostook Rail
road has made during the year the
largest increase of any, thestaX having
increased from $61S.92 to s2gD9 IS during
the year-about ga per cent.
The table for the years ending March
1898, and March 1896, is as Follows:

Hon. w. II. ISies the Silver Cham
pion at the Court House.
Monday night as announced,
Hon. w, f. Ries spoke at the
Court House, and was greeted with
an audience packing the large
court room.
Hon. Rankin Wiley, Jr., intro
duced the speaker in a very forci-
BILE address as a preface, speaking
at some length of the attempt of
Republican papers and Republi-
can speakers to defeme the char
acter of Mr.. Ries, and read letter
from Ex-Auditor Poe, of Ohio, en-
dorsing Mr.. Ries as an honorable
man and citizen, and then introduce
ed Mr.. Ries.
Mr.. Ries then in an eloquent
manner, began the discussion of
the questions that now agitate and
interest the people, and used charts
and blackbonrds to demonstrate
what he stated.
His speech was a patriotic ap-
peal to the masses to protect them
selves from the grasping power of
the gold owners, corporations and
trusts.
Mr.. Ries said he believed that
the United States, was strong
enough with her 75,0OO,0O0 of peo-
pie to adopt the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of silver, without the
consent of England or any other
nation.
He said that prosperity would not
return to this country as long as our
financial system estedupon the sim
gle'gold basis, AS no structure howev-
er we'll built, can stand upon base
too narrow for its structure, and it
would soon topple and fall, and the
masses would be crushed. Silver,
the speaker said, was as much the
money of the constitution as gold,
and its demonstration was the
greatest blow that the farmers and
working people-the producers of
wealth had ever received, and
from that time agricultural prod
ucts had gradually reduced in val
ne, and gold had appreciated, and
proved and backed up all he said
by the figures.
We are sorry that we have not
the time or the space to follow the
eloquent speaker through all of his
speech.
1t was thoughtful and learned
discussion of the great questions OF
the hour, and made deep impress
sion upon the minds of his hearers.
No man could listen to him with
out being convinced that he had
hold of and was discussing the
fright side of the question, and we
hope every voter in the county will
have an opportunity to hear him
before the day of election.
Because of his plain and unans-
werable truths, that the goldites
could not dispute or deny, and the
great effect his speeches were hay
ing in the county, it was determin-
ed by the bosses and leaders of the
Republican party, if posi-
BILE, to blacken his character
and thus destroy his influence
But their dirty scheme failed, and
the tool they got to make the
lying statement, has been proven
to be liar and base william, by
such honorable men as Ex-Auditol
Poe, of Ohio, and others, published
in our Daily few days ago and
which will appear in our weekly
