The month OF March, 1897, is the only
one in the history of the Wilson law in
which it has really made a surplus with
out holding back the expenditures. This
is not, however, due to any Improvement
in the workings f the law or anything to
its credit 1t is simply the result of the
fact that the importers at New York took
alarm lest the Dingley bill should cut off
their privileges of importing at the low
rates of the Wilson law and so rushed in
many million dollars worth of goods dur
ing this month, thus swelling the receipts
to an abnormal sum. It is because of this
fact, and this alone, that the Wilson law
has for once made a record of meeting the
requirements of the Treasury for single
month.

1t has been announced from Washing
ton that President Mckinley wished to
have the party generally understand that
an eX- office holder need not expect ap-
pointment under this Administration I'M
less there are extraordinary reasons for his
selection. This exception has already
been made in the case of the appointment
of Public Printer, and assurances are
said to have been given that Hon. W. W.
Thomas of Portland will again be minis
ter to Sweden and Norway. The wisdom
of making an exception in the latter case
will be generally recognized, as will the
justice of the policy sought to be estab-
lished. Mr.. Cleveland adopted similar
policy at the beginning of his second term,
and it is said that Mr. Harrison would
have done the same had he been re elect
ed. A prominent Republican, who at one
time enjoyed the closest personal and.po-
litical relations with the ex-President,
said that after Mr. Harrison's second NOM
ination he remarked that, if he should be
re- elected, he would choose new cabinet
and appoint new men to Office through
out the government. He saw that the
continuance of the same men in office
would practically disbar other Republi-
cans who were working energetically for
his election from preferment President

Those who desire purity in municipal
politics should read carefully the follow
ing sections of the Revised statutes of
Maine:
No member of city government or
selectmen of a town shall in either board
Of such government, or in any board of
Selectmen, vote on any question in which
he is pecuniarly interested, directly or
Indirectly, and in which his vote may be
decisive; and no action of such govern
ment or board taken by means of such
vote is legal.
No member of a city government shall
be interested, directly or indirectly, in
any contract entered into by such city
government while he is a member thereof
and contracts made in violation hereof
are void.

ExCongressman Wilson, the author of
the Wilson law, having been repudiated
first by his own district, and then by his
nation, has now no forum from which to
address the dear people, and is therefore
utilizing the columns of the newspapers
to disseminate his views and attack the
Dingley bill His latest attack upon it
has been an assertion that its reciprocity
features would be a failure. In all the
matter which Mr.. Wilson has presented in
the way of an attack upon the Dingley
bill, he bas not been able to successfully
defend the law which he himself framed
or to make satisfactory explanation of its
failure. This is a subject which he avoids
in his tariff discussions at so much per
column.

The announcement from Japan, that
that country although going to a gold
standard will not sell any of it's silver
creates no surprise among those who
have watched the progress of events with
reference to the use of silver throughout
the world. The United States, for in
stance, has many times the quantity of
silver currency as when she adopted the
gold standard, and gold standard nations
are increasing the quantity of their silver
constantly and with rapdity. The coin
age of silver runs from 10 to $50 million
dollars pei annum steadily, and a large
share of it by the gold standard nations
of the world. The silver currency of the
world is to-day vastly greater than it was
p years ago and the leading nations of
the world who have adopted the gold
standard are the ones who have increased
the silver currency.

Secretary NJ. \. Rich Of Portland in his
recent report to the State Board of Trade
gave an encouraging view of the business
outlook in Maine. He spoke of the i'm
proved transportation facilities by pro-
lected electric roads and by steam lines
along our coasts and interior waters. New
mills and extensive factories are to be con-
structed and repaired, and many other in
dustrial projects started to give employ
ment to various kinds of labor, already
we'll employed at good wages. To quote
further, Mr., Rich said:
The penetration of new electric roads
TO various parts of the State gives the
farmers better chance to move their
products to market and increases the de-
anand by bringing in more tourists and
summer visitors, thus enhancing the value
of farm lands. The merchants and bust
ness men of Maine came out at the close
of last year in very good financial condi-
tion. No disastrous wreck from failure
was reported, and there is very hopeful
feeling for the future among most Of the
traders.

The farmers of the United States are
likely to have an increased market for
their productions at an early date. The
reciprocity features of the Dingley bill are
expected to open a good many markets
which are now closed to our agricultural
products. In addition to this, it is ex-
pected to give to the United States such
special advantages over other countries in
certain markets as to give our farmers
practically monopoly of the trade in
those parts of the world. The averag e
expectation of farm products during the
past five years has been 621 millions per
annum, of which amount 343 millions, or
nearly 81 per cent, has gone to Great
Britain, all other parts of the world tax
ing but 40 per cent. of our exports. This
shows the possibilities open to the farm
ers in the matter of making for them
selves as good market in other parts of
the world as they already have in Great
Britain.

One remarkable feature of the tariff de-
bate in Congress during the past few days
has been the utter absence of any attempt
on the part of the Democrats to defend
their tariff law. They have tried to befog
the general situation by ali sorts of false
attacks upon the Dingley bill, but not a
man among them has raised his voice in
defence of the law which they themselves
put upon the statute books. Many of
those in the present House were members
of the Congress which framed and enact
ed the Wilson law, and a number of them
We're members of the Ways and Means
Committee at that time, but not one of

Even that sturdy free silver Democratic
paper recently edited by William j. Bryan,
the Omaha ''World- Herald,' reioices at
the prospective improvement of the agri-
cultural industries of its State under Nc
Kinley protection Quoting in commenda-
tory terms the recent utterances of the Re-
publican Secretary of Agriculture, it says:
Nebraska has taken into her feed yards
since October last more than five hundred
thousand sheep to be finished for the
mutton markets of the world. X
The State of Nebraska can safely be set
down as the best district of the country
in the United States for the mutton sheep
industry in all its combined requirements.
Nebraska is certain to become a popular,
prosperous mutton growing and mutton
feeding State" All this, be it remem-
bered, the ''World- Herald' promises I'M
der the new plans of the new Republican
administration, which is giving its earliest
attention to protective tariff as the
hief aid to the sheep industry of the

Democrats who are criticising the Ding
ley bill have not a word to say in defense
of their own tariff law.
Only three citizens of the United States
are now appealing from Cuban prisons for
release. Contrast this with the condition
under the Cleveland administration, when
American citizens were compelled to lie
months, and even years, in Spanish pris-
ons without interf, renee or attempted pro-
lection by the United States.
Mckinley prosperity is making itself
apparent in many industries, but in none
more prominently than in that of railroad
construction. The Railway Age" a
conservative journal, estimates that the
railway construction of the United
States in 1897 will be II, 800 miles, which,
by the way, is more than twice as much
as was accomplished during President
Cleveland entire term. If this estimate
is realized, the railway construction of
the United States in 1897 will exceed that
of any period in the past decade.
The silverites have been compelled to
abandon another position. They denied
the published assertion that Japan had
abandoned the silver and gone to the gold
standard, saying that the report was bas-
ed upon the mere fact that measure of
this kind had been introduced in the Jap
anse parliament. The latest advices
show, however, that the proposition es-
tablishing the gold standard has passed
both branches of the parliament and has
probably by this time received the sigma
ture of the emperor. Nothing which has
occurred since the 9th of November has
been SO serious blow to the Is to the
orists as this action of Japan.
