Duty free goods continue to pour into
the country. The value OF imports for
the week ending October 9, 1915, at the
thirteen principal customs districts of
the United States, was 1872, 1854, $50, on
which duty was collected to the amount
of &c. 691. lib, or an average ad valorem
of ia per cent, compared with the an
nual average ad valorem of II per cent
for the fiscal year 1918, under the Re-
publican tariff law, law which gave
adequate protection to American indus
tries and labor, and handed the Demo
cratic Party handsome Treasury surplus
with which to begin business. Demo
cratic inefficiency and extravaganza have
changed that surplus into large deficit.
Foreign producers are reaping the bene-
fits of free trade tariff law, and Secre-
tary McAdoo is at his wits end to devise
methods for patching up the leaks in the
Treasury reservoir. Meanwhile the cost
of living does not decrease, as was prom
ised by the Democrats.
The sheriff of Washington county anc
deputies recently made a number OF
seizures of liquor in Eastport and The
Sentinel of that city says: 1--WE believe
the general public sentiment is snlidly
behind the sheriff in any attempt he may
make to secure more effective form OF
enforcement here of the prohibltory
law" The Sentinel says further:
There was time, and that not sc
very long ago, when this could not be
said with much fidelity to the actual
facts. But the enforcement of this law
is now no longer matter advocated by

who employ other men, and whose pro

those men; it has the backing, too, OF
those who figure in terms of prosperity
and general civic progress and welfare
1t is now with them matter of econo
mics much more than a matter of NOR
ais.
What The Sentinel says of the present
public sentiment in Eastport, and of the
conditions that have brought it about, is
true with few exceptions of every city
and community in Maine. As we should
express it, it has become a matter of
economics as we'll as matter of NOR

London, Oct. 21.-In explaining to
the house Of commons yesterday his
reasons for resigning from the cabinet,
Sir Edward Carson declared that he
held views with respect to the mill
tary situation in the eastern war
theatres strongly at variance with 9TH
er members of the cabinet and that,
therefore, he felt his presence in the
cabinet would be Of no further service.
He declared also that he had been
actuated by no political motives but
that he had acted in the best interests
of his country.
Premier Asquith's continued Illness
has relieved for a moment the tension
in England caused by the threatened
cabinet crisis and temporarily quieted

that for this reason he would give a
briefer explanation than he had In

AGAINST

communication dealing with the tp-

made public here and says:
THE general officer commanding
the Mediterranean expedition reports
that during the last week tlNre has
been little to report as regards .ha
operations above ground, but on both
sides mining activity has been cor
siderable.
"At Hill 60,' the Turks exploded o.
mine at an evidently predeterninc1
hour. Unfortunately for the enemy,
the mine exploded beneath his own
lines and entanglements, causing much
damage to his own trench but none to
ours.
'Tn another part of our Ipe the en-
emy succeeded in exploding mine
Under our trenches. The garrison,
however, already had been Withdrawn.
but FIVE of our miners working under
ground were buried and given UP as
lost. Three days later, having dug
themselves out, they reappeared, little
the worse for their ordeal"
