Stand by Protection!

The present campaign in Maine is
of unusual Importance to the State
and to the Nation, from the fact that
it is national campaign, and
splendid victory for Fernald will give
strength and cheer to the Republican
cause all over the country. In this
campaign the State of Maine has an
immediate and vital interest The
Democratic party is attacking the
great principle of protection, os
embodied in the Dingley bill under
never before in it's history-a fact that
is cOnclusively shown by an increase
in the interest bearing savings, in our
Trust Companies, savings banks and
loan and building associations from
sG7,533,433 the last year of the Wilson
law to $11S,512,40O in 1907 a gain of
S50,91G.9G7 in ten years of the Dingley
law with it's ample protection to the
products OF our Maine farms and
our Maine factories. Nor does this
splendid increase in the savings Of
the people of Maine fully measure the
prosperity they have enjoyed under
the Dingley law. The State valuation
in 1897. when the Dingley law went
into effect was 1921, S76,S0l in 1907 it
was $354.5l6,848 a gain of S1264OOl7
in ten years of protection under the
present law drawn by an eminent son
of Maine. with due care for all it's in
tcrests
Agriculture is Names foremost in"
terest The last census gave the
number of farms in Maine as 62,O13 Of
which number 5S,643 We're operated by
the men who own them Practically all
horses. swine, sheep, oats, potatoes,
corn, wheat. butter, cheese. eggs,
apples. hay, straw, poultry. etc, are
fully protected under the Dingley law
The farmers OF Maine We're practically
unit in asking Mr.. Dingley for
this protection, and the fact that
under it they have been able to secure
better prices for their products
shows that they were fully justified
in such action.
Next to agriculture the manufacture
ing Industries of Maine constitute the
raDt ia II n no nj
perity of Maine. Practically all OF the
manufacturers in our State are in
protected industries. The removal of
this protection would be as serious a
loss to the men employed in them as
would the removal of the duties on
agricultural products be to the farm
ers of our State.
To the farmers the free trade Or
tariff for revenue only" policy would
mean reduction of prices.
| TO the worker in our protected in
dustries it would mean a reduction
| of wages
| Isn't it better for the people of
| Maine to stand by the principle of
protection. Isn't it better to vote ipr
| Taft, by voting for Fernald in the
| coming election, than it is to vote cor
Bryan and his free trade propaganda
| by voting for Gardner?
| We have no doubt but what the in
teligent voters of our State will be
out in force upon election day, and
will give the Republican ticket rous-
| ing majority. No man who believes
in the continuance of the protective
policy and who is against Bryan and
polls.

Grover cIeveIand's Last Message.


The lips of the late Grover Cleve-
land are now dumb in death but they
have nevertheless sent forth a mes
sage to the country which is perhaps
more weighty and important than any
message they ever uttered in life
There was published in the Sunday
papers an article which Mr.. Cleveland
had prepared just before his death
1t was to have been the first of a
presidential campaign. The first
article was finished but the others
were never begun. Therefore, this
article which appeared Sunday con-
tanned Mr.. Cleveland's last message to
the country Of which he was for two
terms the President. The article IL
too long to reproduce here in full. 1t
would occupy at least five or six
columns of the Journal, but in sub
stance it is vigorous denunciation OF
Organism, cordial and unqualified
endorsement of the candidacy Of
Judge Taft, and a prophecy of a
sweeping Republican victory this fall.
OF the Republican presidential
nominee. Mr.. Cleveland says:
PERSONALLY and officially l have had
the opportunity of knowing many
things concerning Mr.. Taft that w"r"
not a matter of general knowledge.
and with keen interest l have
watched his large share in the conduct
of our national affairs in very recent
years. His excellence as federal
judge in Cincinnati is something not
to be underestimate or over
emphasized, for should he come to Inc
Presidents chair the qualities winch
made him a judge of high ability,
which l know him to have been. will
be the most needful to him as Presi-
dent of the United States. His high
ideals OF honesty and of relative
Justice, his great capacity for severe
labor, and his humorous wisdom IN
the face of the serious problems are
attributes equally valuable and COM
mandatory to a people seeking him IN
their collective interests while they
turn their increased attention to the
pressing individual demands"
Mr.. Cleveland goes on to dwell more
in detail upon Judge Taft's long and
brilliant record in the public service
and declares that it Shows him to he
entirely dependable" Mr. Cleveland
| contends that there is no sentiment of
| disloyalty on his part to the elder
| principles of Democracy" but he sees
| the menace of Organism with the
| same clear vision that led him to Oi,-
pose Mr.. Bryan from the first. Aft n
reviewing the factors which enter into
| the present campaign, Mr. Cleveland
reaches the conclusion that the Re
publican party is certain to move 90
to a safe victory This last message
of Grover Cleveland to the American
people is something that the Bryan
| adherents cannot answer. 1t will be
| of great influence among those mem
beers of the Democratic party who still
| have any degree of safety and sanity
left in their political makeup.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great change Il
few years of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from u
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
