Sec'y CRAIG Resiqns.

The many friends of A. r. Craig and
the Waterville Y. M c. A., will regret
to learn of Mr.. Craig's resignation as
general secretary of the association. At
q special meeting of the board of di-
rectorS for the association called at the
close of the 4 o'clock meeting and the
following was read.
Waterville, March q, 1897
Mr.. President and Members of the Board !:
=. Feeling that the Lord now calls me to
the work of the Gospel ministry, I here
by. present my resignation as general sec
rotary Of the Waterville Y. M. C. A., said
resignation to take effect as soon as nv
successor is secured or on the seventh
of April at the latest.
Respectfully submitted,
-, A. T. CRAIG.
The above is no surprise to those who
are most intimate with Sec. Craig as II is
well known by his friends to have been
the mission of his life to enter the min
istry. Before coming to the charge of the
Waterville Y. M C. A., he was Obliged to
give up his studies on account Of an
affection of the eyes. Now he feels that
his eyes have sufficiently recovered to en-
able him to resume his studies and he
will enter the Methodist conference at
the April session.
Mr.. Craig is a young man that it is a
real pleasure to meet. His quiet, pleas
ing manner of speech and work indicate
that he is devoted to his mission and has
Won for him host of friends who, while.
regrettting his departure into new fields
at the same time bid him God speed
A committee consisting Of President
PhtlbrOok, H. F. Hanson, E. A Pierce

The Trusts and the Tariff.

The manner IN which the Lexow
committee is stirring up the trusts in
New York is attracting the attention
of the whole country Another signi.
ficant fact is the number of these
organizations which are going to the
wall. The inside workings of these
organizations is fortunately being
brought out at time when the col
lapse of so many of them suggests the
possibility of stamping out all of these
combines in restraint of trade and of
industry.
1t is well established now that the
only excuse which these trusts have
for existence is to prevent competition
limit production and raise prices 1t is
also known that their members and
promoters are all ardent advocates of a
high protective tariff. 1t is argued that
a high protective triff stimulates pro-
duction and thereby makes work for
manufacturers and also cteates a mar
bet for the farmer. Then to control
production and check competition the
trusts are organized. If tariff is nee
esssry to increase production, why is a
trust necessary to limit it? Between
their arguments for tariff and their
defense o fthe trusts there is n sad var
lance which the ordinary mind Is not
capable of reconciling.
Evidently trusts are only possible as
profitable ventures under high pro-
tective tariff. An increase in customs
duties raises prices. The trust steps
in and by sliillful combination so
manipulates the market that these
higher prices roll into its own Golfers.
This is the actual working of the
whole business. If tariff should be

william p. St John.

The death of William z. st. John of
New York will be sincerely mourned
by men of all avocations in life. Mr..
st. John was president of a national
bank in New York city when he, with
others, was selected to obtain facts and
figures to be used by New York's
chamber of commerce in combating
the growth of the sentiment for bime-
tallism Mr.. st. John went to work with
will, but after several months inves'
tigation, instead of having obtained
any serious argument against bimetal'
is IN he was himself converted to that
doctrine. He became famous as the one
national bank president in New York
city who was an ardent SIC to man. >
When one organized raid was made on
the federal treasury and the govern
ment was in great need of gold st John
deposited 100000 in gold in the sub
treasury at New York and accepted in
exchange currency, At arother time
when the demand for gold was even
greater st. John deposited 100000 in
gold at the sub-treasury accepting cur
rency in exchange He made no noise
about either of these acts and when
asked by newspaper reporter why he
did it he replied: "The government
needed the gold. had the gold. Any
of Uncle SANS money is good enough
for me and while 1 do not APP
prove of the administration yielding to
these organized gold raids inasmuch as
the administration has yielded | re-
garded it as my duty to go to the gov
ernment's relief to the extent Of my
ability"
Some time previous to the demo
cratic national convention at Chicago
Mr. ST. John addressed a silver mass
meeting held in the city of New York.
On that occasion he was selected to go
to Chicago to work for a 1G to plank
in the platform. The directors of his
bank gave him the alternative of re-
signing the presidency of the bank or
refusing to go to Chicago as the repre-
sentative of the silver men. St. John
insisted upon going and he promptly
resigned his position at the head of one
of New YorlS's strongest banks.
In the campaign Mr. St John was an
active worker and his council was of
great advantage to other leaders in the
fight.
Such man as William P. st. John
needs no epitaph. His life's history
speaks for itself. He was an honest,
manly man. Successful in business
himself he was broad enough to know
that others than he had a right to live.
He might have profted by the gold
standard, but he knew that that stand
ard would eventually be disastrous to
his countrymen and he abandoned sell
fish interests for the benefit of the PEG
ple.-W orld-Herald.

gold democrats have captured the Re.
publican party; that 10 the whole
story; it is story that we read in the
appointment of Mr.. Gage to the Treas.
ury portfolio. The Republican pro-
tectionists, the manufacturers who
supported Mr.. Mckinley, as the apos-
tie of protection, are too blind 'at yet
to read the story, but they must see it
soon. In permitting the Republican
party to be made the champion of the
gold contractionists, they have lost
protection. By taking up with the
gold standard Republican party ac-
cepted the dictation of Britain as to
our fiscal policy. And having admit
ted the right of Britain to dictate our
financial policy, how can Republicans
stand out against British dictation as
to our tariff policy. They cannot do
so, for they have undermined their po-
sition and lost their friends Having
taken the gold dose at the hands of the
Republican party, which has surren'
dered to, in fact been swallowed, in
everything but name, by the gold DEM
ocrats, Republican manufacturers will
have ultimately, il they cling to that
party, TO take the free trade dose.
There is no escape from it, for tho logi-
cal outcome of abandonment of BIZ
metallism is abandonment of protec-
tion.
The time has not come for the Re.
publican party to repudiate protection
as it repudiated bimetallism, but it
already lacks the power to give pro-
lection. No tariff can the Republican
party pass without outside help. And
the getting of this help depends upon
the extent of the sentiment expressed
by leading Populist in these words;
Give Mckinley a chance to try his
quack medicine, by all means; and if it
don't cure the disease then kick the
whole gang out of doors This is u
mistaken view for bimetallists to take,
for knowing that Mr.. McKinley's dag
nosis is wrong, knowing his quack
medicine will give no relief, it is our
duty to do our utmost to save the patti
ent by prescribing the true remedy
and insisting that it be taken.-ThC
