There Is 4 Difference.

There is no argument for a duty on
wool that is not equally valid for a
duty on hides.-N. Y. Post.-WoOl
growing is an industry or was. hide
growing is not, the hide being a by
product. The proposed duty on hides
is not sufficient to increase the cattle
business, that on wool we know from
past experience would. In that way
would come recompense which would
not be had from duty on hides. There
is wide difference between a protec-
tive tariff, that builds up industries to
compete with each other on equal terms
rather than leave them to compete with
foreign concerns on unequal terms, and
a bounty paid on existing industry, to
benefit solely that. While the pur-
chaser Of shoes will never realize any
difference in price resulting from this
proposed duty on hides, it is one which
does not seem TO us to be needed and
we do not believe would be adopted If
the Republican party had a safe ma
jority in the Senate.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1897-04-19

They know that the Republican party
is not in control of the Senate. Ihey
know that the tariff must be changed
in some way or we must continue to
issue bonds for running expenses. some
thing the people will not tolerate. They
know that when they c-.anged sc
tariff that imperative condition did not
exist. They had time enough in which
to bring about that change and they
had the power to carry out their party
policy so far as their party could be
true to it's professions. They know that
with the Republicans dependent upon
the humor of other partisans for the
legislation which the country must
have as soon as possible all that might
be desired cannot. probably. be had.
Their criticism should be to arouse
public sentiment to the support of the
better policy instead of exciting dis
trust and prejudice when there is no
occasion for it.

Mr.. MiDjiken's illness.

One of the marked characteristics of
Congressman Millikens public career
is the happy faculty he possesses of
making many friends and loyal ones as
well. One is forcibly reminded Of this
by the maPner in which the report of
his dangerous illness was received
here. yesterday. Expressions Of heart
felt solicitude were heard on every
side. 1t has been his wont to give heed
to every call upon his attention. No
matter though the appeal of constit-
uent may have seemed trivial, he has
not sighted it. Those at AL ac-
uuainted with demands upon congress-
men during the months Immediately
following change in political admin
stration at Washington, can appreci-
upon the congressman who is painstak-
ing and unremitting in attention to all
calls upon his time and effort. At
such a time the danger of serious ILL
ness is greater than otherwise and the
conditions are such as may well in
tensify the sorrow of his constituents
with certain sense of responsibility.
Announcement of Mr.. Mtlliken's i'm
provement will indeed be glad tidings
not only in his own district but
throughout the State and to all who
may have had the pleasure of his ac-
auainta nee.

Reappointment Of Judge Hall.

It is understood that Governor
Powers has decided upon selection
among the candidates for the judge
ship of the Kennebec superior court
and that the present incumbent. Hon.
oliver G. Hall, has received a reap
pointn.ent. AT no time has the Gov
ernor been embarrassed on account of
any lack Of fitness on the part Of lie
candidates. That much was recognized
from the first. Accordingly the result
must be peculiarly gratifying to Judge
Hall inasmuch as it is but reasonable
that he should assume that the merit
he has shown in the performance of the
judicial duties of that office decided the
matter in his favor. He has been an
excellent judge. His high integrity.
his eminent fairness and his judicial
mind have been recognized by all. His
rulings as q whole have been remark
ably well sustained. He is a thorough
student. conscientious in whatever he
undertakes and capable of utilizing all
the value Of experience to the advan-
tage of the duties devolving upon him.

The markets on this side of the line

protection for agriculture than any for
