Early in the season, before the free
trade Democrats in Washington began
tirkerlrg with the tariff, the prospects
were good for profitable potato crop.
The drouth later hurt some and the con-
9inued wet weather in harvest time
caused considerable loss; but the Will
sor Underwood tariff is cutting down
the farmers profits to the vanishing
poirt. Potatoes are pouring into our
markets from Canada, Holland, Belgium,
all duty free except those from Canada,
which pay 10 per cent ad valorem, and
as result prices are declining. If the
consumer derived any benefit from this
lowering the price of an article of uni
versal consumption there would nc doubt
he many converts to the Democratic doc
trine of free trade. But such is not the
case. The great majority buy peck or
less at a time and they pay the same
price they would if dealers could pay ~
per barrel at any Aroostook point. While
not helping the poor man by reducing
the high cost of living the new tariff is
vitality injuring the agriculturist. The
Aroostook Republican says of this condi-
ton:
Aroostook county, and all other potato
producing sections, have received solar
pIexus blow-a blow which hurts, stag

A few weeks ago it was announced
that negotiations were going on for the
ale of the Portland Argus to the Port
land Press. and that if the transfer was
effected the publication Of the Argus
would be discontinued Mr.. Oscar R.
Wish, the business manager of the
Argus, held the controlling interest and
having been appointed postmaster at
Portland wished to dispose of it. But it
appears that the negotiations for the
sale of the paper to the Press did not
snaterialize and Thomas E. Calvert, the
editor. has secured from the Democrats
of Portland and other sections of Maine
a sufficient amount to buy the interest of
Mr.. Wish and the paper, which was
established in 1903, and has been pub
lished as daily since 1885, will continue
10 speak for the Maine Democracy. Mr..
Calvert is an able writer, scholar and a
gentleman, and the Argus should, and we
trust will, prosper under his manage

good had often asked why there should
be this difference in price. The other
day, after watching this neighbor
pack for a while, the first mentioned

ton, and he did as follows: when l
pick up No. apple l wipe it carefully

What the inspector found, and this les
son on packing, will help to explain why
it is that apples can be brought here
from Oregon and Washington and sold al
five or six cents apiece when our apples
are bringing but 81 or 81 a barrel. The
new apple law is designed to promote
honest measure and honest packing, but
if rigidly enforced it will be some time
before Maine apples can attain the place
in the market they deserve because OF
the bad practice of shippers in the past.
If every apple grower and shipper would
at once begin to follow the methods of
the western men the day of high prices
for Maine apples would come the sooner.
1t does not seem so very many years
ago that The Journal kept standing a
list of deep-water vessels, ships, barks,
briggs and schooners-that were owned
wholly or in part in Waldo county or
commanded by Waldo county men. The
list, originally column in length, grad
ually shrank; the briggs disappeared and
finally the barks; the ships were lost or
transformed into barges, and the list
was finally given up. In those days,
too, We're recorded the movements of
shipping at the port of Belfast; fleet
of schooners owned here was busy in the
Jacksonville, Florida, trade, etc. But
by sale or shipwreck the local fleet has
totally disappeared and the only vessels
that come here are schooners and barges
with coal or fertilizer, and there are no
return cargoes. There is no sailing
packet business with Boston, as freight
is delivered here by rail at the same rate
as in Boston, and no vessels are coming
here for repairs as the marine railway
has been given up. Changed conditions,
not local but worldwide, have brought
about this state of affairs, and other in
dustries have taken the place of the
vanished shipping.
