The failure of the Democratic party to
fulfill its promises to reduce the high
cost of living was commented Upon, as
well as the destruction OF every shred of.
New England influence in the affairs of
the nation. Mr.. Ham declared that the
Democrats had made good the threat of.
Congressman Kitchen that when that
party got into power it would punish New
England for the influence 1t had wleldeds
in the halls of Congress.
Sec. McAdoo's prophecy that prosperity

then the protective tariff would be en-

Mr.. Ham is a very pleasing speaker,
who has been heard in Maine before. He
is slated to take active part in the'
campaign during the next 10 days. His
Augusta audience applauded every point
he made and gave him a great round of
applause when he had completed his ad-

Mr.. Milliken was frequently inter-
rupted by applause and at the close of
his address the hand-clapping contin-
ued until long after the band had be-
sun to play. The next speaker was Guy
A. Ham, Esq. of Boston, who was
presented as an expert on the tariff.
He called attention to the need of the
greatest minds in the nation at Wash
ington just now, when the country is
suffering from industrial depression
and the effects of the terrible conflict
across the Atlantic. He declared that
the government now at Washington
had been weighed in the balance and
found wanting.
The Prosressives were invited to go
home and take down their histories of
the American nation and see the flu
tility of casting their lot with a cause
so born and nurtured that it cannot
endure. Mr. Ham stated that when he
was stamping in 1912 he passed through
cities where large manufacturers
plants were using electric signs to
advertise for help. Where, in this
broad country of ours, can Won find
such signs today" he demanded. He
then went on to declare that il did
not need an expert on the tariff to de-
termine that the country is now suf-
1ering from financial depression. All
can read the daily papers. He remind
ed his hearers that they had probably
read the message from the railroad
presidents in convention, to the effect
that their roads were employing a
million less men this year than they
were employing year ago; that they
had probably read of the firms being

difference, and that it is difficult to
obtain prices which the high grade
demands.
Several years ago some enterprising
spectators established markets in a
number of cities for a low-grade Bra
lillian coffee, to which they gave the
name of one of the Central American
countries. The consumer was led to
believe that he was getting a high
grade coffee, and he was expected to
pay for it proportionately. The enter
prise ultimately went out of existence
because the consumer soon drifted back
to his old ways and paid ordinary prices
for ordinary coffee which did not pre-
tend to be anything else.
While the United States is not ab-
sorbing high grade Central American
coffee in large quantities, nevertheless
some of that which heretofore has been
taken by Europe may now be taken,
and the distress of the Central Amerl-
can coffee grower be partially relieved.

WHEN PUNISHMENT
FITTED THE CRIME

ONE of the most amusing incidents
~ in the long reign of the Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria is that which
shows how a cruel official met a well
deserved fate.
When, in 1s49. Austria went to war
with Hungary and captured the cities
Of that land the ancient mobiles of Hun
garian blood were treated with great
indignity. A baron was publicly logged
in the streets of his native town for
having lost part of a bag Of corn in
trusted to his care. and many women
shared an equally disgraceful punish
ment. This treatment of proud race
brought down the hate of the oppressed
on the conquerors' heads, and OH no
one SO much as on the leading spirit
in this persecution, the Marshal Hay
nau. He was the one blamed for the
sad scenes, and all over Europe the
report OF his ill-fame Travelled until
he was universally hated.
After retiring to private life Hay
nau Travelled to London. at which city
he was the guest of the great banker,
Rothschild.. Rotheschild gave him a
letter of Introduction to the great
plant was one of the largest and most
famous in England. Haynau wished
to sec 1t in operation, so one day went
on visit of inspection. But by some
means the news of his projected trip
had been ascertained by the English
workmen.
No sooner had the detested Haynau
got within the courtyard than huge
bale of straw came hurtling down on
his head; then from out the brewery
doors poured a stream of workmen.
Haynau was beaten with rods and SO
bruised up that he fed to dust bin.
from which he was dragged by his
beard. Fleeing into the street, he was
knocked down and dragged again and
managed to escape only by racing
through a cafe.
Great apparent Indignation was ex-
pressed by the leading English paper,
but the sturdy beermakers declared
that If any of their number were dis
charged for the we'll deserved punish
ment inflicted on Haynau every Brit

Coffee is the mainstay of Salvador.
In good years, when the total exports
have approxfmated S10,000.000. nearly
IS, ,0O0, 900 of this has been coffee. These
when coffee commands high price.
Two years ago Germany took above
100000 Of the crop. France approxi-
mately $1,500,000. the United States
about the same amount, Italy little
less than 100000, and Austria Hun
gary 100000. Great Britain took only
$150,000.
Some sugar was exported to England.
but its value was trifling.
Indigo Is Salvador product which
enters into the export commerce. some-
times to the extent of $250.000 an
nually. American manufacturers who
complain of the loss from the anifine
dyes of Germany might supply one de-
fciency by getting natural indigo from
Salvador.
After coffee, mineral products are the
most important export commodity in
Salvador's trade. Gold and silver range
from $1,500.000 upward. gold consti-
tuting the leading element. There is
also a considerable quantity of gold
and silver amalgams- and concentrates.
Great Britain, notwithstanding the
small purchases from Salvador. sup
plies a notable proportion of the i'm
ports, mostly cotton goods. Germany,
which takes SO much of the cotton
crop, has a relatively small share in
the import trade. The largest single
item Is hardware. After that come
drugs and medicines, and then a great
variety of miscellaneous merchandise.

The United States takes some Saliva
dor coffee. In good coffee years the
total exports to the United States
reach 100000, divided almost equally
between coffee and gold and silver.
Salvador ordinarily sells to the
United States a little more than she
buys. but the disproportion is not large.
The United States does very well in
cottons, coming next to the United
Kingdom, supplying 100000 and up
ward.
In agricultural and other machinery
and hardware the United States has a
long lead over European competitors.
This is true also in boots and shoes.

nopoly, and Salvador is a customer to

THREE crosses are combined in the
British flag. Once England.
Scotland and Ireland flew sepa-
rate and distinctive national fiags. The
English flag had as its main emblem
the red cross of St. George on white
ground, the flag of Scotland contained
the white diagonal cross of st. Andrew
on a blue ground and the flag OF Ire
land had in it the diagonal red cross Oh
ST. Patrick on white ground. 1t is a
combination of the crosses OF ST.
George, st. Andrew and st. Patrick that
compose the British Union Jack.
King JAMES 1 began the overlaying or
the crosses in Great Britain's composite
flag. He laid the red cross of Englands s
ST. George on the white cross OF Scot
lands St. Andrew, and those two
crosses composed the national symbol
of the English and Scotch for two hun
dred years.
The banner of st. George. the patron
saint of the English people. was de-
scribed as Argent. a cross gules." and
the banner of st. Andrew azure. sal

was "a satire gules on a field argent
James 1. in superimposing the crosses
of St. Andrew and st. George. pro-
claimed: "Henceforth, all our subjects
in this Isle and Kingdom of Greater
Britain and the members thereof shall
bear in their maintop the red cross
commonly called st. Georges cross. and
the white cross commonly called St
Andrews cross joined together, accord
ing to a form made by our heralds and
sent by US to our admiral to be pub
lished to our said subjects; and in their
foretop our subjects of South Britain
shall wear the red cross only, as they
were wont, and our subjects of North
Britain in their foretop the white
cross, as they were accustomed"
1t is generally believed that this flag
of the Union of England and Scotland
is called the Union Jack from the fact
that James l always signed himself
"Jaques" and the staff from which this
flag was flown on an English ship came
to be called the jackstaf.
The red cross OF St. Patrick was add
ed to the flag on the occasion OF the
Ireland in 1901, the diagonal red stripes
being so narrowed that they would not
obliterate the white stripes OF the
Scotch cross. The white cross shows
on either side of the cross of st. Pat
rick. while the narrow white margin
around the inside of the cross of st.
George was added to separate the red
of the cross from the blue field of the
