The Hard Times Under Democratic
Rule.

Editors kennebec journal:
| have been interested in your ed-
tnrials in defence of the principles of
protC as eXcmpified in the Ding
ley bill, under which, and because of
which, this nation is enjoying such a
remarkable and unprecedented degree
of material prosperity. The condi-
ton Of the national treasury shows a
large surplus that is constantly in
crcasinG. He who follows the daily
reports IF the receipts and disburSr-
mcnts of the United States Treasury
notes that there is seldom d day when
the expenses are not considerably less
than the receipts. and vet there are
people who want to be called patriots
that would let down the tariff bars and
food the country with the cheap
products of poorly paid labor from
foreign countries, and thereby close
cur factories and mills and stop other
lines Of industry. and give US such
times as we sadly experienced during
President CleVCland'S second term
From all such cdlamiticS and from all
visionary and theoretical economic
teachers. good Lord deliver u.s. The
writer had occasion to make a trip
nearly across the Continent to the far
Southwest during President ClcVc-

the present condition OF railway bust

We want no more of such times as
the country suffered during this period
of Democratic Prosperity" There
are editorial scribblers who seek to
mislead the people, but they cannot
misead those who lived and suffered
the sad experience caused by Demo-
cratic Free Trade ideas, or rather abb
Sence of ideas. In justice to some
Democrats. who had a good measure
of sourd sense and saving grace, it
should he said that they stood for the
principles of protection as true
patriots, just as the war Democrats
stood tor the defence of the Union
during the late Civil War.

The dean of the Missouri Agrlcui-
tursl College asserts that under a
system Of scientific and intensive farm
ing the state of Missouri alone could
support more people than are now IN
the United States. In that state at
present there are As persons to the
square mile, whereas SaXony supports
$50 to the square mile, a density OF
population H. times greater than that
of Missouri. On the basis of SaXony
Missouri would now have a population
Cf 5O,000. 900. If a similar computation
were made for all the states, the out
look for the food supply in the indefi-
mite future would be found exceedingly
encouraging. The time may come
when the population will outrun the
possible food supply, but it is too re-
mote for present concern.

Those dispatches from London that
preparations are being made to clip
the wings of the House of Lords, that
is, to cripple the power which it has
held for centuries, may well be taken
with a grain or two Of salt. The
trouble with such a program is that it
is very difficult performance to
cripple the House of Lords without its
own consent. otherwise it would have
been crippled generations ago. In
some things England is getting pro-
gresSive and liberal, but when it gets
to upsctting its mode of government it
will probably be found as soIidly con-
Servative as ever.

A Boston man who ought To he in

cards and circulars intended to infiu-
ence public opinion in favor of Meyer.

derers He terms the trial THE
American preyfIs Case" and promul-
gates such doctrines as these: Even
if they did the deed they should be ac-
quilted" The origin of the appeal is
shown by the motto at the bottom of
the card: Crush Capitalism with
the catapult of Socialism," Inccndiary
appeals such as these will not only in
iure the cause of the men in whose
behalf they are made, but the cause of
Socialism as well. They will repel the
thinking man and lead him to the con-
clusion that if Socialism palliates and
defends such acts as those alleged to
nave been committed by these three
men it is a doctrine that no decent
man would tolerate for u moment.

rule In view. however, of the fact
that the popular makes of shoes are
still selling, under the pingley law at
the same prices they sold for under
the Wilson law. the Sentinel shows a
commcndable disposition to revise its
original figures based upon its CT

its original estimates in two, thus re-
ducing its alleged added cost of shoes
to ten cents year instead of twenty.
This indicates progress, and we are in

Election, it will reach the conclusion
that the people of Maine are getting
their shoes about as cheaply as they

That the Catholic ladies are
accomplished in the art of get
ting up dances, there is not the
least particle of doubt. The
grand ball at the Opera House
Monday night proved that. The
hall was very neatly decorated
and the music, which was furn-
ished by Waite's orchestra, was
very good. There was a good
sized crowd present but the hall
was not overcrowded. At mid
night the supper was served in
the Elk's hall, and those in
charge of the supper deserve
much praise for the manner in
which it was arranged and
served. Nearly all of those
present at the dance partook of
the feed
