The Triumph of Protection.

In the months of May, June ana
July. the tiprres for which have just
been given out, the manufacturers
articles exported from the Uniteu
States for the first time In the history
of this country exceeded the exports VI
farm products. This condition OF
things began in May and the gain Kept
up during the two months ioiio"ihs'
In those three months the total eN-
ports of manufactured articles was
Sl2O, 7S9, 769. and of agricultural proouc's
was $lo6, SOB 1873. This is a great Victory
for the American protective system anu
is an end toward which the country mas
been advancing rapidly In recen'
years. A quarter of century ago
manufactures were but II per cent oil
our exports. but since the year 1851 ou'
exports of manufactures have increased
$40 per cent.
This means that in the export OF
manufactured products our country Is
taking profit upon its surplus wealth
to reward the industry and skill OF its
people. 1t means that a greater snare
Of our raw agricultural products are
kept at home to feed those who work in
the shop and factory. 1t is better that
the bread be consumed at home by the
American workingmen than sent
abroad, for that means the sending
abroad of good part of the lie or the
soil upon which our national prosperity
ultimately rests. That our agricultural
exports are still vast and growing
greater shows how great and produce
tive a country we have; ana that our
exports Of manufactured articles have
increased in such a wonderful fashion
until they even exceed the exports from
our farms, proves the value of our great
protective system which the Democratic
platform denounces as robbery and
for the overthrow of which the
Democratic party is aiming.

Democratic Subterfuqe.

And now the organ of Mr.. Davis is
using a considerable amount of job
type in endeavoring to make it's readers
believe, that the liabilities of the State,
and the net debt of the State are one
and the same thing. The editor of the
Sentinel understands the distinction
very WE'LL and he underestimate the
intelligence of the voters of Maine
when he undertakes to make them be-
lieve that d states liabilities are identi-
cal with it's net debt. The Sentinel prints
the figures showing the liabilities of the
State, and under them the figures of
the net debt of the State-and demands
to know (which is correct AS a
matter of fact both are correct. The
State holds certain trust funds upon
| which interest is paid and a large
amount of securities belonging to
insurance companies. water companies,
etc, all of which are included as a
| matter Of bookkeeping in it's list of
stitute any part of the bonded debt of
the State. This as Governor Hill has
stated has been reduced under Repub-
lican rule from s4,17S.714.97 in 1882 to
| 81. $50. 900 on 1904, a reduction of $685.
| 71i97 in the past q years. No wonder
this record is annoying to the Demo-
| cratic leaders. but the effort of their
| leading organ to mislead it's readers by
| claiming that the liabilities and net
debt of the State are one and the same
thing shows the desperation of their
cause. Governor Hills clear straight
| forward statement of facts was some
thing they could not refute, and so
| they seek to meet it by subterfuge and
Misrepresentation, but in pursuing this
course they have woefully under
estimated the intelligence of the voters.

The Latest from David 3. Hill.

Since the ST Louis convention, Da-
vid 3. Hill has been clinSing very
closely to Wolfert's Roost and keeping
as silent as he managed to keep Parker
before the nomination was made, but
he has evidently been holding his ear
to the ground and he has heard rumb-
lings whose meaning was not to be
mistaken. So a few days ago when
the 61st anniversary of his birth came
around, he celebrated it by the an
nouncement that he would retire from
the leadership of his party with the
dawn of the year 1905.
OF course ii foxy old politician like
announcement of this kind without
some good reason for it. The explana-
ton is a simple one. Mr.. Hill has
come to the realization of the fact that
his personality is one of the many
heavy loaIs dragging down the candf-
dacy of Judge Parker. and so in the
nope or 1OOllnS the voters once more,
as he has often fooled them in the past,
he magnaninously announces that he
is to retire from the stage. But Mr..
Hills proclamation does not seem to
be taken with any great seriousness.
On the contrary, it is greeted with sus-
picion and jeers.
The American people took his meas
ure a long time ago. and the term pea
nut politics. has become inseparably
connected with his name. He is a man
of little motives and little methods.
and whether engaged in the work OF
packing courts. polluting ballot boxes.
or in nominating candidates for the
presidency by means of tricks, he has
stopped at nothing and found no means
too low to stoop to. Everybody knows
that he has been the leading figure be-
hind the candidacy of Judge Parker.
and nobody doubts that he will con-
tinue so to the bitter end. His prom
Use of retirement is only important as d
break to the monotony of a quiet CAM
paign.

An Insult to the Farmers.

In one of the documents which the
literary bureau Of the Democratic ma
tiOnal committee is circula ting is
found the statement that Theodore
Roosevelt said in a speech made in
1896 that Mr.. Bryan has appealed to
the basest set in the land-the farm
ers." OF course. President Roosevelt
never said anything of that kind. The
statement is an unauthorized lie, and
even the most partisan Democratic pa
pers are rebuking their national COM
mittee for resorting to such desperate
measures in an effort to bolster up
their cause. The words quoted above

1t is evident from the foregoing that
there is imperative need for candidate
Davis and the editor of his personal
organ to get together in this war claim
business. They should endeavor to tell
the same story. even though the tempta-
ton to make the same set of figures do
double duty rests strongly upon them.
Mr. Davis carries over the total amount
of the claim to the close of 1903 and
uses it to explain away the splendid
cash balance $637, 67S.3S) remaining in
the Treasury on December 31st, of that
year. We are now informed by the
editor of the Waterville Sentinel that
Mr.. Davis was in error in making such
use of these figures. He asserts it as a
fact" which he is prepared to prove by
the State Treasurer's report that $751;
515.Sl was paid upon this claim in 1902
and the balance $22S, 1924 in 1903. He
further asserts that $26,S03.16 in 1902
and si5. 637. SO in 1908 was paid to a firm
of Washington Attorneys for collecting
the claim Mr.. Davis, however, does not
concede this. He tells us that the
Wicked Republicans carried the whole
amount over to help force" the
Treasury balance of December 81, 1903.
