PRESS,
Middlebury, Sept. 90, 1912.

It is surprising to witness the efforts put
forth BY the leading men in the Loco Foco
party in this State, To outstrip the wings in
their support of tariff Governed by no set
tied principles. and resting upon false issues
they impose themselves upon the people, as
the peculiar friends ofthe Tariff. Loud and
long in their cries for a Protective Tariff,
strong in their denunciaIions against the
wing delegation in Congress from this state,
bitter in their opposition to those who have
been, and are still the friends of the protec-
tive system, they set themselves up as the
only guardians TO whom The rights Of the
people can be entrusted with safety. II needs
bnt glance 10 show that the loco foco party
from one end of the Union to the other, are
10 heart and soul, opposed 10 any Thing like
Tariff containing the principle of protection.
They denounce protection 10 The different in
terests Of the country, as unconstitutional,
uoPoiiric, and unjust. The wisdom of the fra
mers Of the Constitution, is BY them account

NATIONAL CREDIT.

The New York Express hollis the follow.
ing language. upon the effect produced by
the Tariff Bill, upon the credit of the Ma
ton. Too much praise cannot be rewar-
ded to the noble bands of wings in congress-
who in spite of Executive Vetoes passed the
Tariff Bill. Pass it round brother wings.
Offers have been made to the Secretary
of the Treasury, either to day or yesterday.
through brokers in Wall street TO take one
and half million of United States stock
at par. This is little lower than the nom
inal value in the market. This simple offer,
and the present price, speaks volumes IN
favor of the passage Of the Tariff Bill. Had
that Bill not been passed, it was the Opln'
ion of the best informed that the loan could
not have been issued, if at all, better than
80 per cent. The Tariff Bill has thus had
one good effect already. The advantages
to be derived from the restoration of public
credit is pot to be calculated. Before the
termination of the session, millions were
laying under dishonor, multitudes in the
most needy circumstances. were pressed and
oppressed in consequence of the want Of
monies honestly due; widows, laborers
mechanics and traders, people as well as
seamen, and large creditors, had waItedlons
and anxiously for pay long withheld. Inc
paying off of this vast BODY of perons glad
dens the hearts of thousands. The passage
of law that has already afforded such per-
manent relief, is a blessing of no ordinary
character

till the distributive policy is carried into sue

Notwithstanding the defeat of measu,.

the fact that the horizontal line of duties has
been abandoned, and that the great princi.

it be till the principle of distribution is as,

from the sale Of public lands in ordinary
years may be ascertained, and that sum

WOOL.

The following is noted in the Boston Price
Current Of Sept. 3.
Since tue passage of the Tariff there has
been more disposition by the manufacturers
TO purchase TO moderate extent, but there
has been no speculative demand, nor any de-
cided improvement 10 prices realized. The
market may be considered as frner. The
supply Of most description Of wooden grrds
is large, and prices exceedingly low. Until
the stock i. materially reduced, and better
prices are realized, there will nui be ma.eri-
al increase in the consumption of wool, al d
consequently no grr at advance can be expect
ed al present.

Horrible Outrage and Attempt to Murder.

H0Trtole outrage ana attempt TO Murder.
We learn that an outrage of desperate ma
ture was perpetrated in AllenstGwn last week,
by man named Fl k, upon a man named
Cheney. The particulars as near as we C n
learn, are as follows: Fisk, Cheney, and
boy, were at work in the woods, chopptng
wood, where they had a camp, aud each found
and cooked his own provisions. Fisk accus-
ed Cheney oil stealing some of his provisions;
a quarrel ensued--FIsk knocked Cheney down
with a club, and after bcaring and bruising
him whlie, ordered him TO gel up and clear
out. This Cheney attempted, add although
scarcely able 10 rise, got up and enGeavorrd
tn get cut OF his reach, but Fisk followed with
his club, and again knocked him down; and
after man: ns and pounding him until be
was entirely disabled, took out his knife and
cut and mang!ed him in a most shock lg
manner, large pieces oil the scalp being entire
ly cleft from the brad. Cheney was found
tine next morning in the woods, where he had
been left by Fisk, He was able 10 give the
particulars OF the transaction as above rela-
ted, and stated that Fisk came TO him once du-
ring The night, and struck him a few blows
with the club and left him. Cheney had
$50 20 in money, which was taken from him
il is supposed, by Fix. Allhou- h yet alive,
we understand that no hopes are entertained
ofCheney's recovery. Fisk has been arrested
and committed to Jail in Hopkipton. 1t is
proper TO state that the boy ran off at the first
commencement oil The ARRAY.
