flying to note that there is no diff ar
ence of opinion among the Maine men
at the capital on that point, and their
united effort will have great weight

The free trade proclivities of the
Providence Journal are well known,
but it's readers demand the news. and
this item taken from its columns. is
respectfully referred to the careful
consideration of it's tariff editors:
The Riverside and Wey bosset Mills,
employing about 5000 hands when
running their full capacity, Will on
Monday start on a reduced time
schedule, which will comprise tour
days of eight hours each. In an inter-
view with Mr. w. b. Weeden OF the
Weybosset Mills, Friday morning, he
stated that the lack of demand FOR
goods is of course, the cause for rum
ming the mills on short time. He attr-
butes the depressed con ition of busi-
ness in this branch of the wooden ana
worsted industry to the fact that the
demand for goods at the present time Is
for the cheaper grades, and he spoke OF
the fact that the Rockville, Conn, and
the Peace Dale mills and the Vans
kuck mills of this city has been forced
to take similar action to that adopted
by the Weybosset mills. 1t is expected
that other mills in this section will
follow suit"

Those Financial Pianks.

1t is said that Hon. Thomas b. Reel
saw and approved of the financial
plank in the Massachusetts platform
and that Hon. VIM. Mckinley saw ami
approved Of the financial plank in the
Ohio platform. This is significant
from the fact that while no one is
quite sure what that Ohio plank means
the one adopted by the Massachusetts
Republicans does not admit of the
slightest doubt. as clear declaration
| for sound money being superior to that
adopted by the New York convention.
the latter not being wholly free from
ambiguity. \ comparison of the three
planks may prove instructive. This
is the Massachusetts plank:
We regard the silver agitation as
hurtful to business and destructive of
confidence. and. as has recently been
shown, hostile to all tariff legislation
designed to give protection to our in
dustries and revenue to our treasury.
We are entirely opposed to the free
and to any change in the existing gold
standard, except by international
agreement Each dollar must be kept
as good as every other dollar. The
credit OF the United States must oe
maintained at the highest point, SO
that it cannot be questioned anywhere
either at home or abroad. Every
promise must be rigidly kept and every
obligation redeemable in coin must be
paid in gold
This is the Ohio plank:
we contend for honest money; for
a currency of gold. silver and paper
with which to measure our exchanges
that shall be as sound as the govern
ment and as untarnished as it's honor;
and to that end we favor bimetalism
and demand the use of both gold and
silver as standard money! either in ac-
cordance with a ratio to be fixed by an
international agreement. if that can be
obtained, or under such restrictions
and such provisions, to be determined
by legislation, as will secure the main
tenance of the PARTIES of values of the
two metals, SO that the purchasing
and debt-paying power of the dollar
whether of silver. gold or paper, shall
be at all times equal
The New York platform after de-
claring against free coinage con-
cludes as follows:
Until there is a prospect of a ma
tional agreement as to silver coinage
| while gold remains the standard of the
United States and of the civilized
world, the Republican party of New
York declares itself in favor of q firm,
and honorable maintenance of that
standard
The limit defined in the words: I'm
til there is prospect" has been crit
icised, but rather in spirit of cap
tiousness. However, there is not the
faintest suspicion of double dealing in
that plank approved by Mr.. Reed II
is as honest, fearless, forcible and SEN
siple as the man who approved it.

A man in Parkhurst has evidently

ii is this: He and companion were

ago and they had a long bottle of whis-
key, They had drank about a third o.
the contents of the bottle. which they
put away in n hollow stump, when a
thunder shower came up so suddenly
they forgot their bottle in their hurry
to leave. Twelve years afterward he
was crossing this very field. and Sec
ing man pun stumps. reminded him
of the bottle he placed in the stump.
After little surveying he was able 10
locate the very stump. After digging
out the rotten wood and moss that had
accumulated in II years. the bottle was
found with the cork cemented in with
old age. But imagine his surprise and
chagrln on holding the bottle to the
light to see that every drop of whiSkey
was gone and in its place was a huge
toad that nearly filled the bottle. ON
breaking the bottle the toad hopped
away through the glass as lively as a
