The Portland World has passed into the
hands of J. A. Newell & Co., and will be
conducted hereafter as heretofore.as a dem
ocratic paper. It is well edited and deserves
the patronage of the democrats of that city.
The proprietors of the World have purchas
ed the East Portlaed Packet and it has been
merged into the World.
The new clock just placed in the tower of
the Glassgow University is a tremendous
affair. The main wheels of the striking
and quarter trains are twenty inches in
diameter. The weight of the hammer
that strikes the hours is : 20 pounds, and it
is lifted ten inches. There is an automat
ic apparatus attached to the clock which
stops the quarter peals at night and starts
them in the morning. The pendulum is of
zinc and iron, to counteract the Influence of
the temperature. The bob of the pendulun
is cylindrical, and weighs 300 pounds, and
the beat is i seconds.
STILL KEEP IT UP.
The Harrison organs that have become
so restless and uneasy because theirparty
at Chicago adopted a free whisky platform
still keep up their shrieks about "free trade,"
"fiec trade," without the slightest founda
tion in the world for charging democrats
with being free traders. To such of these
gentry w ho know nothing else but to bawl
"free trade" until they become so hoarse
that they have to take double doses of Ger
man Syrup in order to make themselves
heard again, we would call their attention to
the following castigation which they re
ceive from the Farmers Friend : "There
is nothing so disgusting to fair and honest
people as the course of those contempora
ries who misrepresent the views and opin
ions of their political adversaries. They
take advantage of the confidence of those
who look to them for light and information
to mislead and deceive them. The man
who seeks to impose upon the ignorant and
credulous by misrepresentations for the
purpose of securing votes is but little better
than a knave. There are grounds for hon
est differences of opinion concerning gov
ernmental polity and the fair, just and true
presentation of those differences of opin
ion, with the facts, statistics and arguments,
pro and con, is the work of an honest journalist."
Hotice of Removal.
John Wannamaker, the great me rchant
now has his life insured for a million dol
lars, paying about $65,000 a year in pre
miums. If he wished to do so, he could
go on the street at any moment and bar
row half a million dollars on his risks. John
B. Stetsonand Hamilton Disston, also of
Philadelphia, carry respect'vely $750,000
and $500,000 life insurance. Dr. Hostet
ter.of Pittsburg, Penn., caries $S00,000.
Among others who carry heavy life insur
ance may be mentioned the following :
George K. Anderson, of Chicago, $350,000:
Pierre Lorillard. $3i0,000; Senator Cam
eron, $200,000: George Harding, of
Philadelphia, $200 000; Andrew Carnegie,
$250,000: and George W.Childs and Whar
ton Barker, $100,000 each.
One may get some idea of what railways
mean in the saving of time and money to
passengers by taking the case of London.
It is estimated that about 50,000 persons,
or about one tenth of the population of the
entire area of the metropolis, require to
travel to and from their business every day
all the year round. If we remember the
distances, it is not too much to assume that
the railway will economize for each at least
two hours in the week, or say, five day8
per annum each. This, to over 500,000
people, means 2,500,000 days, or an econ
omy of 8300 years, of 300 working days
each I Suppose the average earnings of
these 500,000 people to be $500 per annum
each not too high an average when we re
member the number of millionaires includ
ed in the total we shall see a total money
saving, In theyense of time being money,
of equal to $4,150,000 per annum. And
this in London alone.

The Herald is very much disturbed be
cause democratic papers accuse the repub
licans of having adopted a "free whisky"
platform. Well, we are not surprised, as
the adoption of such a platform ought to
condemn the party adopting it to over
whelming and Ignominious defeat. Butis
the charge true ? We do not ask any one
to take what any democrat says, but take
the republican platform itself. ' It is a well
known fact that the government now col
lects one hundred millions dollara more per
year than Is necessary to pay its current
expenses. All parties agree that this sur
plus should be reduced to the extent of
from seventy-five to ninety millions per
year, in their platform they say that in
order to reduce the surplus they would re
peal the taxes on tobacco, and if this would
not be enough they say as follows : "If
there still remain a larger revenue than is
requisite for the wants of the government,
we favor the entire repeal of internal taxes
rather than the surrender of any part of
our protective system at the joint behest of
the whisky trusts and the agents of foreign
manufacturers." This then is what that
party demands a repeal of the entire sys
tem of Internal revenue. What is this
system ? Why, it is the internal tax on to
bacco, whisky and oleomargarinc.bank cir
culation, etc. I low much revenue is deriv
ed from this system ? The report of the
Secretary of the treasury shows that last
year the amount was as follews : Spirits,
$65,829,321.71 i tobacco, $30,108,067.13
fermented liquors,$2i,o22,i87.49 j oleomar
garine, $723,948.04 j bank circulation, etc.,
$J53,770-9i making a total Internal reve
nue of $118,837,301.06 all, or nearly all, a
lax upon luxuries which are not necessary
for the comfort of the people at all, and ail
of which the republicans declare thev will
repeal before they will touch the protec
tive tariff. Now,no republican or democrat
has yet been found who would reduce the
urp!us revenue to the amount of collcc.
Hons made from internal revenue, so that
all reductions that republicans would make
would lie on whisky and tobacco. So that
there is no escaping' the charge that the re
publicans propose to take the tax off whis
ky, thus making it free and keeping a high
tax on the ncccssariesof life.
