two years 10 matter who should sit in
the Presidents chair unless accompanied
with an amendment admitting silver to
coinage on an equality with gold. Thew
said that they would hold the balance of
power in the Senate for two years to
como and that no tariff bill could he
passed without their votes, which would
DO given only on condition that free
silver was joined to the bill. What they
alleged as regards their power will un-
doub'aedly prove true. For the next two
y ears they will be. as they are now, able
to fafeat any tariff bill unless it COM
r.ands both Republican and Democratic
support, and of course no bill similar to
the Mckinley law will get any of the
latter. What they said also OF their in
tention to use that power will undoubted-
ly prove true also, for throughout the
present Congress they have consistently
maintained an attitude of obstruction,
holding up all important legislation in
the interest Of free silver, thus making
1T clear that that is with them settled
policy. When the new Congress meets
therefore either the pledges for restora-
tion Of the Mckinley tariff must go I'M
fulfilled or large concession must be
made to silver. The situation that will
confront the next administration, as can
readily be seen, is going to be one that
will offer peculiar and powerful tempta-
ton for conciliating the silver men. With
out more or less complete surrender to
their demands it willibe impossible to full
I'll the expectations of the great majority
OF the people who have voted for the
restoration Of "a high protective tariff;
and this in itself will create tremond-
Gus temptation to yield something on the
currency. 1t admits of no doubt that
there is an element in the Republican
party that regards the tariff of so much
more Importance than the maintenance
OF the present gold standard that it
would compromise on the latter rather
than abandon the former. 1t is well
known that some OF the manufacturers
who met the silver senators in confer
ence came away converts to the free silver
doctrine. and it is altogether probable
that many more Of them when the pinch
comes and they have to choose between
protection and the maintenance of the
present standard will cling to the former
and abate their demands somewhat in
regard to the latter
All danger Of compromise on
the currendy IAN be avel ted now.
That it can be averted after election is
not SO certain. If the st. Louis conven-
ton adopts a clear and unequivocal dec
laration in favor Of the maintenance of
the gold standard. at least until foreign
nations are ready to join us in a larger
use Of silver, and places candidate upon
1t who can be relied upon to stand firm
there will be no danger of any concession
to the silver men. Indeed under those
circumstances none will be asked.

The Mckinley managers are not to
blame for wanting to get Mr.. Reed upon
their ticket for Vice President. 1t is the
best way in the world to give it the
strength it lacks. But their wishing will
end with wishing. Mr.. Reed is candi-
date for President and We do not hazard
anything in saying that If the conserva-
tive and thoughtful Republicans of this
country have their way he will be the
successful candidate.

And now President Cleveland says that
he never told Postmaster Hesing that he
would under no circumstances accept q
denomination. Furthermore he de1aies
with good deal of emphasis that Hesing
is one of his friends, saying that he never
met him but four or five times in his
life The President thinks evidently that
the Hon Mr.. Hesing's tongue is alnogeth-
er too perniciously active.

CURRENT COMMENT.
SPEAKER REEDS UPRIGHTNESS
AND INDEPENDENCE.
Bridgton NeWsl.

"To be right''--and to BIZ President,
too, doesn't seem to DO the plan now-a-
days; but it is infinitely credi6ahle to any
pubic man that he is To resist tempta-
tlon to do despicable things to promote
success, and it is not certain that the
moral victory won by such conduct is
not OF more value than even the Presiden-
flal crown. Whether he wins at St. Louis
or not, Speaker Reed has surely scored
a great victory in another line, on &C
count OF which his name is sure to be
held IN high esteem in the future years.
incidental to this the writer cannot
forbear recalling q we'll -remem bered re-
mark of MIR. Reed nude in private con-
yersation prior TO his first election as
Speaker OF the House. He had been the
candidate of the minority and Its ack-
nowledged loader on the floor and every
body felt that with the body in the con-
troll Of tho Republicans his success to the
5peakership was assured. Pleasantly
congratulating him upon the outlook,
we were amazed ct his response: 81 tell
you frankly, l do not expect to win the
Speakership! To be speaker of the House
OF Representatives means the parcelling
out of committee chairmanships and
committees-the distribution of the vast
patronage which the wielder of the
Speakers gavel controls. No man, as the
body is now constituted, can win that
poslelonj except by the promise of an ex-
change OF committee chairmapships for
votesl l never did any of that business
I don't know howl never shall learn
And for that reason don't be surprised
when you learn Of my defeat"
The historical record demonstrated that
Mr.. Reed was not quite correct in his
estimate of the power of the corruption-
lists in that particular House; he did win
the Speakersh1p just az he may win the
Presidency; but it is a peculiar pleasur
to the writer Of this paragraph tosbe able to
bear witness that The sentiment enunci-
ated by Congressman Reed in that little
Exchange street private CONVEX sation a
dozen years ago, has boen rigidly adhered
to during his entire Congressional career.
1t is quite possible that it may have cost
him the Presidency, and that he has been
Gontented to allow this great prize to slip
from his grasp, if necessary to the presar-
walton of his self-respect as man
There are some things in liIe infinitely
preferable even to Presidential nominal
lions.

FINANCIAL
Maine Steamship Company.

The Maine Steamship Company has
recently contracted for a new steel steam
ship of 1000 tons (baing double the capao-
ity of the largest of it's present boats)
and, in order to pay for the Same, has ex-
eouted a mortgage to the Portland Trust
Company, Trustee, conveying all It's fran
chises, rights and property. now owned
or which afterwards may be acquired.
The two steamers now in use, Man.
haitian" and Cottage City" with other
property of the Company, are worth up
wards of $500. 900; the new boat now
building will cost $500, QUO and against
this total of $780, Oo0 the Company has
issued 100000 of First Mortgage six per
cent Sinking Fund Gold bonds.
These bonds are in denominations OF
$500 and $1,000, dated April LIST, 1895. pay

viz April 1st, 1926, principal and inter-
est payable in United Sattes gold coin OF

they are further secured by Sinking
Fund of two per cent. per annum (S69OO),
beginning A priI 1st. 1897, which fund

issue at maturity if invested in the safest
securities yielding only 81 PER CENT

For some years regular dividends Of 19

been paid, and the stock sells at $65 per

abled besides paying tho above dividend
of 1924. 0o0 to expend from its earnings of
that year $50. o00 in improvements and
additions to it's boats, in other words it's
net receipts were about $55, 600.
The interest on the above bonds will
be IS, 600, and will take precedence of
dividends on the stock. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that the Company is NOW earn
ing NET over three times the interest on
these bonds without taking into consider
alton the revenue to be obtained from this
new steamer, to purchase which these
bonds ara issued.
OF the above $500, 600 bonds. s125, 600
have already been sold for permanent
