most prominent of which are the uni-

A personality OF no minor Importance
is Bloomfield smith, the mutual

the universal ehsperon; there is no I'M

for which he is not instantly ready, and
being a man of means and leisure, he APP

A very marked and pleasing feature of
this gentlemsn's personality is his habit
OF moving "gracefnllyn on every oecs-
sion. He 10 soon to erect a eapacious
mansion on his own land, aud hopes In

Another pleasant person is the buck.

in Ellsworth, who 10 not only repiete In
quaint anecdotes, but who can be de
pended on to laugh heartily at the re-
marks or "bresks" of the "teuderfoot"
visitor. And there are others, aud many

The largest item in our gain of gold
imports last year came from Japan's
purchases in this country. The re-
publican party insists upon the open
door for American trade. The demo-
cratic policy would make the open
door useless by tinkering with the
tariff and keeping us out of foreign
markets.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1904-08-17

There is nothing involved in the
tariff problem, as democrats would
have the voters believe. The nub of
the proposition is that whenever the
protection is removed from an Ameri-
can industry the employment incl
dent to that industry is simply trans
ferred from American workmen to
foreign workmen.
