ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Sentinel.
The Sentinel declares that it is not a
free trade paper, and asserts that the
Maine Democracy tavOrs "a reasonable
tariff" The Rockland Opinion. edited
by Oliver Otis, calls it to account for
this heresy, ana asserts, with charac-
teristic vehemence that there is no
such thing as "a reasonable tariff.
We had expected to see the Sentinel
get into the ring and defend this al
legged principle of the Maine Democ-
racy from the attacks of the Opinion,
but no, 1t took the rebuke of brother
Otis meekly, and in silence. Since
then it has held to the free trade side
of the discussion with a persistency
that would seem to be almost in the
nature of an attempt at atonement.
It's editor has appeared to feel that
having been led by his earlier and bet
ter training to stray, temporarily and
unwittingly, outside the Democratic
field, it was therefore incumbent upon
him to make good with his present
brethren by kicking up an exception
ally large amount of Democratic dust.
In time, no doubt, he will be forgiven,
provided he makes It evident that he
will never do so again. The Lewiston
Sun has made no pretence of being a
protection paper. 1t announces its
devotion to free trade, and IS proud of
it-despite the attenuated character of
it's following.

Inasmuch as our mills and shops are

Maine Trade and the DingIey Law.

| We believe that Nelson Dingley, as
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee in 1887 did what he believed TO
was. without question, a conscientious.
patriotic man. but we do not agree
with his theory, which was, that the
way to make Maine prosperous was to
limit her trade.-Waterville Sentinel.
| Under the Dingley law Maine has
had. and is still enjoying. the largest
trade both in her agricultural and
manufactured products that she has
ever had in her history. Wages are the
highest they have been since the close
of the Civil War and there is a splen-
did market for all our products at

Evidently the FilipinOs are not very
crazy after the franchise. The first

be held July 90 and the registration

enough in the coming election to get
his name on the registration list in

throughout the islands is only one in

The Products of Maine.

Maine is essentially manufactui :
| ing State. Our people consume more
food than they produce.-Lewiston
Sun.
This will be news to the $4,000
farmers of Maine, who conduct the
foremost industry of our State with
products that aggregate more than
$37 100000 year. 1t would certainly
seem as if these $4,000 farmers with
this large annual product ought to be
able to feed the 1876 men. women
and children engaged in manufacture
ing pursuits in this State. AS Il
matter of fact they are-and many
thousand more. The editor of the Sun
should visit ArOostoOk county during
potato digging and harvest time to
get an enlarged idea of the food pro-
ducing capacity of our State. The
Journal believes that the $4,000
farmers of Maine should have the best
possible market and first class prices
for their products. 1t believes that
the 74,S16 people of our State employ
ed in manufacturing enterprises
should get steady employment ana
first class wages for their labor,
thus enabling them to consume
the largest possible amount OF farm
and manufactured products and main
tain the highest possible standards OF
living. These conditions exist today
in generous measure under the
Dingley law. The farmers are pros
perous and, as a result of that pros
perity are purchasing larger amount
of manufactured goods than ever be-
fore. This means busy mills. with
steady employment at top notch wages
for the thousands of our citizens VINO
are employed in them, and who are,
thereby rendered better customers for
the farmers than would otherwise be
the case. 1t is a fact that the pros
perity of one class in the community
contributes to the prosperity OF all
classes, but it is one that the free
traders, with their narrow theoretical
outlook upon life, have never succeed
ed in grasping.
