The Citys Finances J..

If there were no other reason why
the republican ticket should be re-
elected this spring, sufficient one is
the fact that, under unusually hard
conditions, the present administra-
ton has handled the city finances
with consummate ability.
The bonded debt of the city is
S5s, 300, all now bearing interest at
per cent, SIS, 900 having been re-
funded this year and the rate reduced
from per cent. The temporary loans
year ago, including -, 200 of out
standing orders, amounted to $4,000;
the assets, consisting wholly of I'M
paid taxes, amounted 10 SD 900 The
total debt, therefore, was $50, 900
During the year Just passed, with
appropriations of 81 900 see note
at foot OF this article or more
than 900 less than the previous
year. the present administration has
succeeded in closing is year with an
increase in the temporary loan ac-
count OF only about 5000.
The new bridge alone. contracted
for last year, bat paid for this year will
account for the increase. But in adj
dition To this expense, other perma-
nent improvements have been made

Not in recent years have 50 many

able to see so much for their money.
The policy thus begun ought MOTTO be
jeopardized by the turning out of a

the wheels of progress even if they do
not set them to turning backward.

we'll apply to the good city of Ellis

NoTE.-The appropriations for 1897
for the city proper were s40,950. This
does not include the State and county
tax, nor the overlays, which, strictly
speaking, are no part of the city APP
preparations. In making the COM
parison with 1896, however, the State
and county tax and overlays We're, by
mistake, included in the 1896 figures,
and the comparison is, therefore,
erroneous. The appropriations for
city purposes in 1896 We're 500, or
81 $50 less than this year.

Issues of the Campaign.

The issue in this municipal cam
paign is not men, but principle; not
the individuality of the candidate, but
what that candidate represents. The
candidate for mayor nominated by
the so called democratic party-but
which in reality is more than half
populist-is gentleman against
whose character no aspersion can be
cast. But he represents an element
in Ellsworth politics which has de-
monstrated it's inability to manage
successfully city affairs; party
whose official blunders have involved
the city in long and expensive litiga-
ton, from which it has not yet
emerged; party which hopes yet to
saddle on the tax payers of the city a
bill for police services which the
supreme court and the law court
of Maine have in effect said is
illegal; party of retrogression in
stead of progression.
On the other hand, the republican
candidate represents an element
which is directly opposed to these
things. He has placed himself on
record as opposed to them, and has
given the city capable and honest
administration.
The issues to which We have called
attention are not national or State
but local issues; issues of immediate
and vital Importance to every Voter
and tax payer in the city They owe
it to the city and TO themselves to
give these matters serious considera-
ton before casting their ballots next

Where, oh. where is the populist
tlourished so nightly in Ellsworth.
At the Chicago convention in 1896 the
poor populist dupe could not resist
the silver bait so luringly placed in
the nav of the great political party
swallower, and -presto'-the pops
had disappeared down the capacious
throat where the greenbackers had
gone before them. And by this time
they are so well digested and
assimilated that It is hard TO tell
democrat from populist. In Ellis
worth. at least. il is fair to assume
that the so-calIed democratic party
is more than half Populist, since for
the past few Years more popuIist
than democratic votes have been
thrown The better element Of
the democratic party, which in 1896
came over to the republican ranks,
stil holds allegiance 10 the republican
party,
The present administration took
the reins of city government last
spring under circumstances most I'M
favorable for record making Ham
pered by debts and legal complica-
lions inherited from the populist adj
ministration, it has nevertheless
given the city the best administration
in its recent history. While meeting
! the unusual burden unloaded upon it,
the administration has given the tax
payers permanent Improvements to
show for their money. The system of
improvements inaugurated should be
/ carried forward to completion The
republican party, by REL nominating
the mayor and three of the present
aldermen, has given the voters of
Ellsworth an opportunity to voice
their appreciation of service rem
dered, and their endorsement of pub
lie improvements.

I All that education in its various

man is being done for him.
Weak industries receive boun-
ties. Lines of steamers are
heavily subsidized to carry Ger
man exports to all parts of the world.
The state railways are authorized to
make special rates for the oversee
trade. German diplomatic agents
abroad exercise pressure in favor of
German merchants. German CONNER
cial houses are planted in every i'm
portant foreign port. and even where
they represent foreign firms they keep
a benevolent eye upon the produce of
their own country. In the conduct of
private undertakings money is not
grudged either for practical expert
ment or for research. Manufacturers
submit to sacrifices in order to force
an entry into foreign markets, and
recoup themselves with the aid of pro-
tective duties at home. The whole
commercial policy of the country is
directed toward the encouragement
and extension of foreign trade. Such
assistance and encouragement. given
to population as laborious ard well
endowed as the German people, have
produced the results which we are be-
