The ECONOMY" Fustian.

Maine than ii is in national affairs.
The New York Sun says
About everybody Jon salary or

cost of living. Our Democratic

going to reduce or try to reduce the
cost of living, save the people money.

The first skate manufacturer III
Maine and the Oldest one now in ac
tive business lives in Somerset county.
Ieban Lincoln of East Madison. For
forty years he has manufactured
skates and now at the age of so years
is making from 100 TO 300 Il year. II
is estimated that he has made nearly
5 900 pairs of skates. He invented the
skate that he now makes when he be-
gan business 1t is the wooden top
skate and is used preferably by the Ia
dies This is nearly the only skate
that is used in this part of the state
and these are sold To hardware deal
ers in all parts of the State. Mr.. Lin
coin does the entire work of making
the skates, in an old mill that is sit
uated over small stream. On the
ground floor he has his forge where he
pounds out the runner for the skate
which is entirely done by hand, ex-
cepting the polishing. He then takes
the iron to the upper story where he
has made a crude wheel with an en-
cry attached to it that he poiishes
them ON, and on another ingenious
machine of emery he concaves them.
For the upper part he uses beech WOOD
but he recently has had mahogany
that was brought to Skowhegan from
Cuba by Frank Cairns, who is now
with William Shuster in Persia. This
wood has been used in making skates
for Carroll Goodwin and others of Mr..
Cairns friends. Very. few people be-
lieve on meeting Mr.. Lincoln that he
is now past 50 years old. He is spry,
| is at his work every day and does not
look his years. Mr.. Lincoln has been
one of the swiftest and most seienti-
| fic skaters that could be found on the
| ice, and within a very few years he
| has each winter gone onto Madison
| pond and skated with the boys.
