THE SILENT SEWING MACHINE!
AS A FAMILY ASSISTANT,
The Willoox & (libbs Sew ins Tliichinc!
Will bo found to excel all others. The ease with which it runs, its ready adaptation to all
kinds of work without delay or hesitation, its quiet fidelity, its
Superior Strength and Durability of Work,
are points that astonish and delight all who make its acquaintance. Ladies who are unfa
miliar with this Machine, do not yet know the full blessing and comfort of a Sewing Ma
chine in the family, though they may possess many others and think they are satisfied.
In proof of this assertion is the significant fact,
That its strongest (ulcocates and most enthusiastic admirers arc always found among
those who have used and are most familiar with other leading machines.
From the thousands of testimonials from all parts of the country, we select the following
from the city of Augusta:
AUGUSTA, March, 1870.
Having used the Willoox & Gibbs Sewing Machine in our respective families upon
all the various kinds of work required, some of us from one to six years, others for
a shorter time, some of us also being familiar with the use of other leading machines,
wo cheerfully recommend it as a most excellent family machine. It runs easily and
quietly, is simple and easy in its management, does not get out of order, is always
ready, its work is strong and durable, and in all respects gives most entire satisfaction, i

MAINE LEGISLATURE.
Kemarks of Mr. Ilarrlman of Belfast,
IN HOI'S K OK UF.PKKSKN'T ATIVES, March IS,
in l.iyor nf t.ill an act additional to chapter 48 ot
tin1 Revised statute-, concerning Manufactures.
Mr. SrF.AKF.it :—I believe the principles
embodied in this bill to lie right, that this
act if it passes, will mend a defect in the
law ; that the spirit of the law already
comes tip to the principles of this bill, nn'd
is only defective in the letter—and that it
becomes our pi n ilege. our duty to make
the amendment. The objection urged
against it is that it authorizes the taking
of property for private purposes.
Let us examine tin's question for a
moment and go hack to first principles
and see how much we violate private
rights. Titles to lands and real estate gen
erally are derived from the State, and that
title passes from hand to hand by deed,
by inheritance, by possession, &e. The
receiver of the title by deed obtains no
better title than the State first gives.
Non, when the State grants land to a
tenant.it is always understood that it is
granted subject to certain exceptions
w hidi the sovereignty of the State retains
in all cases when granted to citizens.
Such arc the exceptions and regulations,
that in some eases the grantee is wholly
divested of all title without any considera
tion whatever being paid back to him,
in other cases the law authorizes the
taking of the property and makes careful
' provisions for the payment of the value
I of it.
All lands granted to citizens arc held
liable to taxation, and may be sold for
i taxes and the grantee entirely divested of
all right or title to the same without any
payment back to him, and the only coin
pensation or benefit he receives or can re
ceive is from the sources, where the
aniiuiig assessed is expended in sustaining
the peace of the State or the benefit of
ways, or of schools, &c\, the grantee's
right is sacrificed to the public necessity'.
Another mode by winch the- grantee’s
title may be diverted without consideration
to him, is by possession—an adverse party
by holding openly notorious adverse
exclusive and uninterrupted possession for
‘twenty years becomes sole owner of the
premises by operation of law as surely as
lie could by deed from the original grantee.
There are some exceptions to this general
rule. 'The public good and necessity re
i quire that land shall be occupied and im
proved. The grantee may be assessed
i damages tinder the laws known as the
j betterment laws, and made to pay sums
j never contracted by him, and in default of
1 the payment of the same, may be divested
, of his title. This is said to be required by
public justice.
Lund may bo taken for consideration to
the use of the public for highways if the
public good, tlie public convenience re
quires it. It may be taken for the same
I reasons for the location of school houses.
It may be taken, overflowed lor private
purposes—for the erection and use of
mills and manfactories because the public
good requires that water powers shall Vie
brought into use and occupied. It may
1 be taken for private purposes, for railroads
| and for railroad depots, because the public
; good requires it. The banks of a river or
j stream may be overflowed for the public
good, but the water may run to waste
forever without the right to build a dam
in some instances, unless a law like this be
passed. I will give you an instance in
point. A gentleman bought a small tract
of timber land through which passed a
stream with a fall suitable for a mill site
—the premises were purchased with a
view to building a mill suitable for nianu
factoring trio lumber on the premises, but
upon examination of the premises it was
found that at the very place in the stream
most suitable for building the mill, right
! on a bend of the stream, and over a ledge
which protruded into trio stream on both
-ides, right at the falls, the line of an ad
joining owner's land just came to the
stream, exactly where the most convenient
[ and best place was to put the dam ; his
i neighbor happened to he hostile to him.
i and he was wholly unable to purchase the
l ight to complete his dam on any reasona
' ble terms, and he was compelled at length
1 to build his dam farther down the stream
where he owned trio land on both sides of
it, at a much greater expense than would
have been required in the proper place,
by means of w hich dam he overflowed the
very bank of the stream which he needed
for his da n. Now , he could lawfully use
that premises with water, but not for his
; dam, and it seems plain to me that all this
1 inconvenience was realized bv reason of
j a detect in the law, which this bill will
| carefully cure if enacted.
As to the other feature of the bill, the
wonderfully increased facility, safety and
' convenience recently realized in this cotin
1 try by the construction of canals or sluices
to’ conduct and regulate water power
j are so plainly self-evident, that there can
not he a doubt but that the public good
requires they should be facilitated, sus
taint'd and protected by any reasonable
legislation ; ami the feature ill this bill
; relating to canals, Ac., for manufacturing
purposes, must, it seems to me, commend
itself to every candid well-wisher for puli
lie improvement. What improvement in
the direction and use of watei power has
been so completely successful and useful
and safe as the diversion of water by ca
nals and sluices ? Aud arc they not a
public benefit ? The rapid, substantial
and healthy growth of our neighboring
city of Lewiston furnishes a filtiug refer
ence. Why sir, you can survey a railroad
track besiue a river and take what land
you please for a depot. Is that a greater
enterprise for the public good than a good
manufacturing establishment which brings
J the water power of a great river into use ?
’ Then if both conduce alike to the public
good, why not give them like privileges?
I think it ought to be done, and that the
I passage of tins act is a good step in that
direction.
This bill docs not put the two ca^o.-.
alike. In the railroad case thev take the
land and settle the damages afterwards.
In this bill application is made for leave to
t ike the land ; but if this does not answer
the purpose it submits the question to some
other tribunal than the obstinate owner;
[ so that it is not in ids power to block the
