A story which is too good to keep is be-
ing told in large Hancock county town
not far from Union river In that town
are two cottages known by the same
name. Both these cottages were being put
i'll readiness for new tenants at the same
time. Into one a minister was about to
move; in the other more worldly man.
The latter wanted some floors in his house
painted, and it not being convenient for
the painter to come al any other time. he
wa. engaged TO do the work on a Sunday.
And 80 it happened that the artist OF the
brush, i'll the early hours of Sunday
morning, started for the - cottage. y
let himself in, and began his lonely sun
day job. The most surprised man in
town the next day was the minister, hen
he discovered his floors artistically dec
orated-and, horrible thought, the work
had been done on Sunday, Now the
neigh oors are trying to figure out who
the joke is on-the painter, the minister,
or the man who didn't get his floors
painted after all.

visit to an uncle, Edward P. Adams, at
Honolulu, in 1870, that Miss Cate met her
future husband Sanford Ballard Dole,
the son OF an American missionary, now
president Of that island republic. When
Miss Cate returned to her home she was
accompanied by Mr.. Dole, and in 1873
they were married at Castine. Mr. and
Mrs. Dole then returned to Honolulu

In quiet country village not many
miles from Ellsworth, write, our West
Franklin correspondent, the spirit OF re-
form has been manifested. On rainy
days men at the quarry would stop and
have few games Of cards. One lady de-
termned that 80 far as her hu- band was
concerned the thing should stop. On u
recent rainy day she met him at he door
when he returned and said "sir, you
have been playing cards. You can get
your own supper or 90 to bed without

to the quarry at all now when the sky is
overcast, and fellow workmep have heard
him softly humming to himself The

Imports and Exports.

\ valued subscriber writes TO THE
American a. follows:
Enclosed is slip taken from the
Bangor Commercial, and passed to me
by democrat a. proof positive that
the N.4sO-.-GOrLlal bill has not hurt
our industries. VIII THE AMERICAN
pleas e&alaiu9''
The article referred 20 Is disingen
uous Juggling with official figures
which Is Characteristic of the Com
rlerciat. For example, with apparent
fairness il quotes the value OF imports
from 1891 70 1895. inclusive, and then
takes the figures OF 1893, when the
imports were ss66, 100, go, under the
Mckinley bill, and compares them
with the figures OF 1891. when they
were S654, sd, 622. These figures show
decrease of SZl1. 406, 800. and this de
crease the Commercial says occurred
under the Wilson bill.
The fact Is that this decrease
took place under the Mckinley
bill. The figures are for the fiscal
y
80, 1874. The Wilson bill did not go
into effect until the fall of 1894, and
the simply enormous decrease of
s211, 406, 500 occurred under the Me-
Kinley tariff and not under the Will
SON. German tariff.
Further on the same article saws:
SIN 1854, under the Wilson bill, our
export c4leeded our imports by the
surprising total of s237, Jas, $50" The
figures are correct, but they are the
figures for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1891, several months before the
Wilson bill went into operation, and
this excess of exports is TO be credited
to the Mckinley and not to the Will
son tariff.
The fiscal year 1894, ending June 30.
which was the last full year OF the
Mckinley bin, shows imports of mer-
chandlse amounting to 1854, 1894 ,622.
The writer OF the Commercial article
didn't take the trouble to state that
the next fiscal year. 1895, showed i'm
ports to the amount of 1871, 1863, 965,
and if he had taken the first full cal
endar year of the Wilson bill-from
January !, 1895, to January /, 1896
he would have been obliged to show
an inc of imports to s60l, 1858, 400.
These few facts, We feel sure, will
indicate to our correspondent the
utter worthlessness of statements and
arguments set forth by the defenders
of the present tariff-for revenue only
law
Nothing but the most dishonest
juggling with official figures relating
to imports and exports in recent years
will show that the Wilson law has not
been harmful to the manufacturing
industries of this country. An analy-
sis of the imports under the Wilson
law shows astonishing increases in
imports of foreign goods that come
most sharply into competition with
similar goods made in this country
cotton c2I woolen goods, thread, knit
goods, glass and glass ware, leather,
provisions, salt, silks, wool, manufac-
lures from textile grasses such as
burlap, Irvine, etc.
The disastrous effects of the Wilson
law on general industry are SO we'll
known and SO universally admitted
that really it is time wasted to discuss
the matter.

dial and hospitable-it was a Maine

Independent estimates that Bryan will

Dm's Ret1etr reports Very moder-
ate and yet distinct Improvement in
business. 1t is no longer con-
fined to the buying of ma
terials, which continues and
stiffens prices, but also in orders for
products of some industries, in money
markets, and in exports of staples. 1t
is as yet little more than a step to-
ward better things, but has already
started some important works, and
prompted few considerable con-
tracts. Increasing confidence in the
