Democratic Tariff Talk,

HOCkland COurier-GaZettel
1t pleases Democratic speakers and
organs to represent that the present
tariff law is on the defensive and
forced to find excuses for a longer con-
tnuance. The plan of attack is to dis
credit the law and then push a general
assault on the protective system. All
through its history the Democratic
party has been opposed to the policy
of protecting American wages and in
duStry, and its talk now Of tariff re-
vision is deceptive. Its platforms
have always been against any such
protection in tariff. According to the
declared Democratic belief a tariff
should be framed for revenue only. and
WOrkmcn and manufacturers should be
left to make the best Of such resources
as thnv can command in open COMPETE
ton with the world If the next Demo-
cratic national platform leaves out a
plank to this effect it will be different
from the party'S former avOwcd pO-
sition. A man from any party may
favor tariff revision. meaning Il read
justmcnt of schedules when needed.
Republicans from time to time have
passed several tariff laws and changed
rates according to the progress of in
duStrial development Sometimes they
have advanced rates as well as reduced
them, but always maintaining the pro-
tectivc principle. What the Demo-
cratic party means by revision is a
general cutting down of duties and an
elimination Of all protection as fast as
it can be reached. When did Mr. Bryan
or any other Democratic party leader
say a word for protection? Beyond
any doubt the next Republican plat
form will speak with pride of the great
success in all respects of the Dngley
tariff whose results for ten years
have more than realized all that was
expected by the able men who shaped
it.

The State Board of Trade.

Not in decade has there occurred q
meeting more fully fraught with good
for the grand old State of Maine, than
was that of the State Board of Trade
held in Portland on Thursday and
Friday of this week. Throughout that
entire body of thinking men, there ran
that feeling of fellowship. that COM
munity Of interest, without which no
state can prosper. but having which
there are no heights to which it may
not attain.
"All for each and each for ALL was
the sentiment that seemed to undcrlie
all actions and give heart to all words.
Past differences were buried meath
garlands of mutual respect. Portland
and Augusta Joined hands. and in a
spirit of true brotherhood, and i'll
pledges, as graciously received as they
were generously given, they turned
their faces towards the new day. In
this, alone, the State Board has
splendidly justified its existence and
again shown itself to be one of the
great healthful, uplifting agencies of
this State.

Iona and Faithful Service.

Frank h. Barnes, foreman of the
composing room of the Press, was yes
terday receiving the congratulations of
members of the staff and other friends
upon the completion of Sc years of
practically continuous service on the
paper. Mr.. Barnes came to the Press
before il had completed the first ten
years Of it's history. His contribution
to the success of the paper includes not
only faithful and efficient service in the
department of which he is now the
head but much valuable assistance
given TO his fellow workers in the edi-
torial and other branches of the bust
ness.-Portland Press.
That is long term of service and
congratulations seem to be due both the
Press and Mr.. Barnes. The item is i.
reminder to us that here in the Kenne
bee Journal office we have a few vet-
Grams who deserve honorable mention.
Daniel J.. Allen. foreman of the press
room, began to work for the Journal in
1860 and is now on his 47th year of ser
vice-a service which has been abso-
lultly CONTINUOUS SANNpt i'i hhS uouri
brief summer vacation. Thus Mr.. Allen
has been in this Office over decade
longer than the Press veteran has been
at his post. In the press room among
the boys there is also another veteran,
Thomas Trask, who came to the Jour
nal IS years ago. Then there is George
H. Clark, the night foreman of the
Journal composing room. who has been
with lis for &c years. or exactly as long
as the foreman of the Press composing
room has been with that paper.
Frank \. Kinball, assistant night fore
man Of the composing room. came to
the Journal when a mere boy. as did
Mr. Allen and Mr.. Clark, and has
now served the paper IS years. Arthur
l.. Brown. compostor. has now handled
stick and type for 81 years and 81 years
of that time have been in the Journal
office Charles H. Richards. foreman of
the Journal book department. has held
that position just 25 years.
We have mentioned here six faithful
veterans. still at the height of their
efficiency, who have been with the
Journal from % to Al years each. There
are 10 others in the editorial and bust
ness Offices and the composing room who
have been here from dozen to 20 years
each. Since the Eennebec Journal was
established. 81 years ago, some great
names which the world honors have
been connected with it. Let this brief
word of appreciation be spoken for the
humber workers on its staff whose
long and faithful service has done 50
much to make the paper what it is and
illustrates so well the harmony in which
the owners and the employees dwell to-
gether.

either for purpose of sale or for feed
ing whercfrOm to realize an income
from the products secured. Every
pound of second crop hay, corn fod-
der, Hungarian, pumpkins and roots
should be rcligiously secured and
saved SO as to realize the fullest value
from this source.
On every hand the Farmer hears
the sentiment expressed byo farmers
that mere grain as we'll as hay must
be produced on their farms; oats,
oats and peas, sweet corn for supple
menting fall pasture, yellow corn for
grain. cnsilage corn for the silo; all
of these in addition to intensive
growing of hay for feeding and for
sale is clearly to be the watchWord
for hundreds of farmers who are real
iZing as never before that the call for
dairy, meat and poultry products is
from now on to become louder and
stronger and in order to secure the
fullest reward from the farms home
grown fodder crops must be grown
according to modern improved prin-
ciplcs.

The word comes from the Catskills
that in order to stimulate their au-
tumn trade the hotel landlords have
resorted to the expedient of keeping
tame bears which are turned loose in
the woods in the vicinity of the hotel
as an attraction for their guests. OF
course the guests do not know that the
aforesaid bears are in the employ of
the landlord and when they got stroll
ing through the woods they meet I'M

which furnish live topics for the post
cards which they send home and pro-
vide a theme for conversation with
their city friends during the winter
months.
