STATE HOUSE.
Population of Maine Estimated
at 100000.
The Drought Is Now the Only Draw
back to Our Farmers.
The Destruction by Cattle Commissioners
Greater than Ever Before.

What the population of the State will
be as shown by the census, is a question
that is agitating the minds of many OF
the heads of departments. Nearly every
city or town of any consequence has
shown considerable gain according to the
Information that has leaked out from the
census men who have been sworn to Sc
crecy.
Various estimates have been made as
to the increase ana the probable popula-
ton Of the State, and some who are in 4
position to form fairly good idea Of the
population have stated that the pop
ulation will be about 100000
1t is known that the cities and towns
have shown gain but the question is,
where do these extra people come from.
If they come from the country into the
towns and cities then it is feared that
the State Will not show the gain wished.
But il the increase is from other states
or provinces then there is reason to re-
joice.
1t is known that for the past . years
there has been growing tendency 5f
the country people to get into the cities
Formerly it was the custom for the young
there. working for good wages and saw
ing the results of their work toward a
foundation for home for themselves.
Now that has all changed and the ten
dency is toward the towns and cities.
There seems to be no possible way to get
at the source Of the increase of popula-
ton but it is believed from the increase
as shown in some of the cities that the
population of the State will be shown to
be over 10000. The estimates made show
ing what is thought may be the gain are
taken from the per cent Of gain of some
of the different cities that have been
heard from. This increase is shown in
the cities and whether or not the in
crease is as great in the towns can only
be developed when the census enumcra-
tors have made their final returns.

crop will not be nearly as heavy as was

several other faults which as soon as dis
covered We're pointed out to the makers.
Col. Stevens has made up his mind to

ordered the changes made. According to
the plans furnished the fountain was to
throw a fine spray from the top. That
the fountain did not have. Again the

John NJ. Dcering gives out the state
ment that more cattle and horses, infect
cd with tuberculosis. were killed during
the past year than at any time since the
commission was established When the
commissioners first began their work, sew
er.l years ago there was the greatest OPP
position. Then the farmers seemed to
think that they We're the victims of the
board and there was no end to the
trouble the board experienced. So great
was the opposition that it was necessary
for the commission to use every means
to gain evidence Of infected herds. Now
the situation has changed. The commits
sioners instead of seeking infected herds
wait until the owners make complaint
and ask to have their own herds inspect
cd The dairy men now see that it is for
their own advantage to have their herds
inspected and are doing everything to as
sist the commissioners carry on their
work. With this arrangement. the farm
ers alone making the complaints more
cattle and horses, as was said, have been
killed than ever before.

Sense

If a person is i'll and needs medi-
cine is it not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hum
dreds of thousands of cures to its
credit?
great many women who are i'll try
everything they hear of in the way of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is constant menace
TO their already impaired health.
This seems To us very unwise. for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia K. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years its record has been one un-
broken chain of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has ever
known has such record for cures.
1t seems SO strange that some people
will take medicines about which they
really know nothing, some of which
might be, and are, really harmful
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
papers of the United States more
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been published in the interest of
any other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce a
spirit of confidence in the hearts of
women which is difficult to dislodge,

thing else they say, No, we want

Our Trade outstrips England.

Another evidence that the export
trade is more successful under protec-
ton than under low tariffs is found in
II comparison of our export records
with those of England. This compari-
son. dating from 1850 to the present
time. during which period the protect
i've system has been in operation al
most constantly in the United States
and the free trade system constantly
in operation in England, gives an ex-
cellent opportunity of measuring the
effect of the two systems upon foreign
commerce. From 1860 TO 1899, under
protection, the domestic exports of the
United States grew from $316,249, 1913
to 81. BOB. 931, 222, an increase of 300 per
cent: while those of the United King
dom. under continuous free trade. in
creased from S661. 314.656 TO S1,2S7,-
9Tl ,O39. an increase of but 100 per cent
In manufactures alone the contrast Is
even moe striking, since our exports
of manufactures during that period in
creased from $40,o00,00o to 1899, 0OO,-
900, or 80 per cent, while those of the
United Kingdom only increased from
S613. GOO. 900 10 81, 90, 000.00 Or rs per
cent. Thus our total exports in 1899
are four times as much, and our ex-
ports of manufactures eight times as
much as in 1860, while the United King
dom has only increased her total ex-
ports 100 per cent and her exports of
manufactures IS per cent. In 1860
manufactures formed but 1871 per cent
of our exports and in 1899 2s.1S per
cent. while in the ease of the United
Kingdom. manufactures in 1860 formed
%. rs per cent Of her exports and in
1899 but S4.SI per cent.
