Equal Suffrage.
ELLSWORTH, ME-, Jan. 8, 1905.

ELLSWORTH, ME-, Jan. ., lSVp.
To the Editor Of The American:
The friends of the cause OF equal politi-
cal rights for the sexes will rejoice to hear
that as result OF the untiring efforts of
DIR. Abbie NJ. Fulton a meeting was held
at Sullivan last Friday evening, to hear
the question of Equal Political Rights
for the Sexes" presented by DIR. Fulton.
good audience of the representative
people of the village was present, and both
men and women manifested their interest
in the subject, and the able manner in
which it wss presented, by their close
attention until the end.
That the speaker made a good impression
by her earnest manner and able presenta-
tion of righteous cause was evident from
the fact that twelve OF the leading women
in the village enrolled their names as
members of the Equal Suffrage league of
Hancock county.
The town of Sullivan has for many
years been noted for its progressive, we'll
informed meu and women, and it has been
a matter of surprise to those interested in
the various reforms that the people of that
town have manifested so little interest in
matters of vital Importance to our coun-
try.
If the Acknowledgement of 30,0o0,o 900 of
our people, who are taxed and not repre-
scented, held amensble to laws they have
no voice in making, and by our govern
ment clsssed with idiots, erin inals and
untaxed Indians, is not sufficient to call
for protest from every intelligent man
and woman, nothing but the last trump
will arouse them from their slumber.
Let us hope and pray that DR.. Fulton
has awakened an interest in the grandest
reform our country has known.

The Philippine tariff bill introduced
in the House bids fair to cause a cou-
pie of weeks of debate at least. The
main opposition comes from the cane
and beet-sugar interests and from the
tobacco trus-, which says it is afraid
the American market may be flooded
by cheap tobacco, as the sugar men
are afraid it will'be flooded with cheap
sugar. But it is very likely that the
bill will pass, even if in somewhat
