How do you like the sound of that, Whgs' Oh!
that sounds well that is the Test question Of this
Administration. "No interference of Office hold

conflict with the freedom of elections"
Such were the mOttos Of the Wings in the con-

there had been too much interference by men in
power with elections; that possibly the wings might

we ask every candid man to look at the true state
of the case. We will take our own Town for

the wings, unless you depart from the compact of

The New Tariff BILL

Mr. Editor copy from the new Tariff Bill,
which has pissed the House of Representatives, all
which relates to wool. The following duties are
imposed;
First. On coarse wool manufactured, the
value whereof, at the last port of place from whence
exported to the United States, shall be seven cents
or under per pound, there shall be levied duty Of
five per centum nd yalorcm. And On all other
manufactured wool there shall be levied duty of
three cents per pound, and thirty per cen,um ad
vaoIrem: Provided, That when wool Of different
qualities of the same kind or sort is imported in
the same bale, bas or package, and the aggregate
value of the contents of the bale, bag or package,
shall be appraised by the appraisers at a rate ex-
ceeding seven cents per pound, it shall be charged
with duty in conformity TO such appraisal: Pro-
vided, further, That when wool of different quail.
tiles and different kinds sorts is imported in the
same bale, bag or package, the contents of the
bale, bag or package, shall be appraised at the
value of the finest or most valuable kind OF sort,
and duty charged theron accordingly: Provided,
further, That if bales different qualities
braccd in the same price, the value Of the whole
shall be appraised according to the value Of the
bale of the best quality: Provided, further, That
If any wool be imported having in it dir, or any
material or impurities other than those naturally
belonging to the fleece, and thus be reduced in
value To seven cents per pound or under, the ap-
prasers shall apprase said wool ut such price as,
in their opinion, it would have cost had it not been
so mixed with such dirt or Impurities, and duty
shall be charged thereon in conformity with such
appmisal That wool imported on the skin be csli-
mated rs to weight and value as other WOOL
Second. On all other wool, manufactured,
the value whereof at the last port or place from
whence exported to the United States shall exceed
81, cents per pound, there shall be levied duty
ofhrly per cent. ad vaorem."
Should this bill pass the Senate and be APPROX
ed by the President, the following will be the pro-
lection afforded the wool grower: On WOO! valued,

The Hon. Horace Everett in his speech in the
House, July 6. 1912, (sce ~ Vdtchmaa, July
IS, 1922 after expressing objection to both bills
before the committee (oi the whole) says;
"My first objection is 10 the admission Of wool,
costing esht cents and under, free Of duty. When
that regulation was made it was a very proper one
The object was to admit coarse wool, which did
not come in competition with ours, free OF duty,
for two purposes: 10 aid the manufacturers, and 10
afford, at cheap rate, Il species of cloth used cx-
clusiyely at the South. But. sir, since the act Of
1892 the quality of the low prlced woods has en-
tirely changed. BY the introduction Of Mcrlno
bucks UlOO) INTO Iiuenos Ayrcs, (and ] suppose
into other coarse wool rcgions,) woods are brought
in,oced under cents that compete with our me-
rno wool In 1871, ll,OOD,0O0 pounds Of eight
cent wool was imported, of which 1000 ,OCO came
from Bucnos Ayrcs. In consequence of the en-
barge of two years producing an accumulation Of
three clips, it was probably purchased very low
yet at the usual prices there IN ordinary times, The
low priced woods must always compete with ouI
fine woods. 1t should not be forgotten that one
fifth of our neeces may be regarded as coarse
wool.
Now, as there was only about ID. in 90, of the
wool imported in 1871, costing over 5 cents at the
place from whence exported, aud by MIR Everett's
speech the cents wool CONES in competition with
ours, and is probably as fine as the wool raised in
Vermont would average, it is of little consequence
how high duty is imposed on wool which will
not be imported. II the above scale of duties is
correct (and any wool-grower can cast 1t for him
sef) is the Tariff of the least benefit TO Vermont
It will be observed that the bill allows all wool to
be imported in its natural dirty state taken iiom
the sheep, aud should it lose one half in weight by
,Ia ncinu ,ho fnout ,r,ull incluluu
cleansing, freight, &c, less than 25 cents per
pound !!
Your neishbor Of The Ha,chman complains that
every democrat in the House (save Mr. Parmenter)
voted agains, ,hi, bill. A great and insuperablc
objection with them was that the land distribution
was coupled with it.; but | submit whether amy
democrat ought 10 vote for such tariff, even with
out the distribution. ANOTHER FARMER.

And see with how much truth the wings claim
TO be The exclusive friends of American Industry.
III Is generally admitted and in fact can scarcely
no doubted by any one, hat the mongre Tariff
hill which will probably soon pass the Senate will
be vetoed by the President. The only way in
which the safety Of the ariF part of the bill can
be secured, is by knocking out the distribution
clause, which should never have been connected
with it. AS the wings are so anxious TO give the
country the benefit OF tariff, every reasonable
man must arrive at the conclusion that they CAN
not object 10 the separation Of what should have
been, at the outset, treated as two " distinct
things" and thus secure immediately that for
which they pretend TO be strongly contendng.
NOW MARK!
Soon after the bill came up in the Senate, Mr.
Buchanan, democratic Senator from Penns, lyana
moved to amend it by striking out tho Distribution
clause, Mr. b. addressed the Senate in support Of
his amendment, and remarked how small pit
lance this miserable distribution would furnish each
Staie-that the whole amount Of the proceeds du-
ring the past year was about $3.50, O00 Pennsyva-
MAS share in which would be about So .OOO.-
lie then inquired how Senators could sacrifice the
important interests of the country which ho bill
was intended 10 protect, for the sake of obtaining
Il few thousands of dollars from this miserable
land-ior, Judging nom his last veto message, the
President would undoubtedly refuse his assent ,un-
less HE obnoxious clause was struck out. lie
then proceeded to show the importance of giving
protection 10 the manufacturing and other interests
Of the country, by imposing duty on such I'M
ports as c0mpate with thcnl-bu, was in favor of
taking the tax Off such articles It's did not Interfere

$l,lS0 900

Leaving the available amount Of 500 900
The Navy department had drawn acquisitions
on the Treasury, at that time, TO meet debts actu-
ally due, among which are bills under protest
for 81 ,lll, 900, thus leaving an actual deficit of
S3ll 900.
There was on hand about 500 900 of unissued
Treasury notes, assisted by the accruing revenue,
amounting to about $3.50 900 per week, exclusive
Of receipts on unpaid bonds, 10 meet acquisitions
for the army, and the demands of the civil list.
The withdrawal Of the sum Of 500, 900, to be
distributed among the States, so soon as the state
ments and accounts can be made up and completed,
by virtue Of the provisions Of the act Of the ilh of
September last, of which nearly moety goes to
few States, while it adds materially TO the embar-
easements of the Treasury affords TO the States no
decided relief.
No immediate relief from this state of things is
anticipated, unless, what would most deeply he de-
plored, the government could be reconced TO the
negotiation of loans already authorized by law at a
rate of discount ruinous in itself, and calculated
most seriously to affect the public credit. SO great
is the depression Of trade, that even if the present
bill were TO become law and prove TO be produce
tive, some time would elapse before sufficient sup
plies would flow into the Treasury, while, in the
meantime, its embarrassments would be contiru-
ally augmented by the scmi-anhual distribution Of
the land proceeds.
Indeed, there is but too much ground to appre-
bend that even il this bill were permitted to become
a law, alternating as it does the proceeds Of the
land sales, and an actual deficit in the Treasury
would occur, which would more than probably
involve the necessity Of resort to direct taxa
