searching the local cemeteries for

He visited seven cemeteries in BrunS-

locating about . graves. Mr.. Penney
says that the records show the names
of about POO soldiers of the Revolution
in Brunswick, Torsham and HarpsWeli.
and not Il quarter part of their graves
are marked For Il number of years,
since his retirement from busins IS, MIR.
Penney has Eiven-much tim" TO the
search for data concerning revolution
airy soldiers. He has canvassed An
droscoggin county and great part of
oxford county. There are from 1000
to 5000 of these soldiers buried IN Maine
and of that number the Sons OF the
American Revolution have secured
records Of a little more than 1000.
Many of them were men who enlisted
in Massachusetts or New Hampshire
and afterwards settled in this State.
In the coast towns the soldiers were
more largely of native stock. Mr.. Pen
ncy suggests that if any person who
has revolutionary ancestor o. whom
the history is known, he would gladly
assist in locating the grave Of such
ancestor 50 that the record could be
made Icy the Sons of the American
Revolution. 1t is the purpose of that
society to publish book containing
all the data that has been collected in
regard to revolutionary soldiers in
Maine. Mr.. Penney works entirely at
his own expense, and takes great pleas

especially pleased at one time in locat-
ing Il descendant of q soldier who
fought with John Paul Jones IN that
famous battle between the Bon Homme

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
D;ngIey Bills Tenth Birthday.
(LcWiStOn Jcurnal.)


Not in the history Of this or any other
country has decade brought forth the
phenomenal results of the ten years
just completed under the Dinglcy
tariff law. The tenth birthday of the
law has just passed with undlminiShcd
progress and uncxampled confidence in
tn" future by all classes. Ten years of
unprecedented achievement When
they tell you that the Dinglcy bill has
been given credit TOR the sunshine and
rain ANA good crops they give but half
the story and that which is misleading.
Without the bill the mills and factories
could not have prospered and the pcO-
pie would not have had the money to
spend for products. Providence and
the Dngley law are tho strongest team
working for any people on the face of
tn" globe
Under the DinGlcy law there mas been
collected i'll customs, during the decade
of its operation. two and nnc-nalf bill
lions Of dollars. and the aggregate will
reach an even three billions before any
tariff tinkering is done eighteen months
hence. During the last fiscal year the
collections were S1,00o.000 for every
business day of the year. COiacidont
with this immense revenue the value
Of the manufactured products of the
country has increased at even q great
er rate. In the five years from 1901 to
1915 the collections were $1,000. 523, 2F.
while the manufactured products of
the country gained sl.7S7, s59, $50. and
tn" total value of these products in
1905 was fifteen billions of dollars.
There is a surplus of ss7 100000 in the
treasury, and we have yearly trade
balanc" of half a billion dollars: labor
is employed to a greater extent than
ever before in our history: the country
is moro prosperous than at any prev-
Gus period; our foreign trade has been
doubled.
These arc facts which all must admit.
When the Dinglcy bill became n law
the country was tired of tariff tinker
ing. The period of Clcvclandsm and
Wilson bill perfidy had just passed.
The people had confidence in the wis
dom of Congressman Dingley and the
members Of his committee. bu- who for
a moment then believed that the meas
ure would operate unintcrruptedly for
ten years? And not even the most
optimistic sleeper could have dreamed
of the marvellous advances and eXpan-
sion of the decade to follow.
With this record it is safe to presume
that Il conservative committee of re-
visonists will make only the most
necessary notifications in tn" Dinghy
tariff. eighteen months hence" These
notifications have been made ncccs-
sary only by the very magnitude of the
accomplishments Of the bill itself
The aSSailants Of prosperity argue, in
substance, that labor l.; toe generally
employed. hence we should have n
change. Our trade is too I3rge--the
Dinglcy bill should he tinkcred. Our
manufactured products are too great
in valuc-revisc the measure" Doesn't
the argument sound natural?
