THE LAST HARD-ClDEa HUMDCG.
The Grand Dancer must be elected Governor
this year, by the people, lie stall be, sny the
Burlington and Woodstock; Juuios. Steam must
be raised. What shall i, be; Anything-no' mat
ter vht--n Protective Tariff is the only ,thrg-so
hurrah loI that. Paine is in favor of domestic in
duslry $50 they say at Per!,insyi!eD That sounds
wcll--Domoslic Industry! D-o-ur-e-s-,-i In
d-u-s-t-r-y! 1t does sound well. No mattel
what it mears--it means nothing, in fact, but parry,
as the wings use i,--no matter, Nhooror The
locoiocos, awful llittcrs! are opposed to Domestic
Industry down with them! PANE is in favor Of
Domestic Industry, up with him! Ilcave-yo-
hoave! up (s)hc goes boots and all! Consul Jar
Wis has ordered Windsor county to bear Hand and
give the Autocrat lift, and obediant to the call
every broken down manuflctuitr,and every Bank
rrpt rushcs to the rcscuc-and heaye-yo -heayc,
up (s)he goes!
Bah! win .n people be humbuggrd again aud
that so soon Eood the following resolution, pas
sed by the Legislature of Vermont, at its session
at Montpelier, Oct. 1911, addressed to our "Sen-
utors and Representatives" in Congress-
Rcs,lrei, That our Senators in Congress be in
s,ruclcd, and our Representatives requested, To
use all honorable means IN their power TO procure
the passage OF laws, which, while They shall guard
ugains, the numerous frauds and eyasons now
pracliccd upon us by foreigners and foreign agents
and while they shall ralsc revenue sufficient only
for the nesccSSary expenses OF government, aud
shall have due regard 10 the particular interests
If every section Of our county, give, by
protective duties, such II preference 10. domestic
over foreign products III our own markets, and may
so discriminate between those articles which we
can and those which we cannot produce at home,
as f., give Il lust, sure, and salutary encouragement
b, rhc Industry OF every American citizen.
What do you sqy to that locooco doctrine" of
whis Legislatnre'
"lhay shall raise Il revenue sullicien! ONLY
for the necessary expenses Ofgoycrnmcni and shall
have Il DUE regard to the particular interest of
EVERY section of our country; may give a"pref-
eronce to domestic over foreign products and may
''discri.pna,c, &c.
Now 1--WE have conlendcd tina. We most have
Tariff, in the first place "suIiicent only for the
necessary expenses Of tho GOVERNMENT on goods
tina, we cannot manufacture, and we have most
socmnly and earnestly contendcd that, that Tar
ilr "sha have Ut T. regard TO the particular in
tcresis rf EVERY SECTION Of our couniry."l-
If sufficient revenue for the wants Of the govern
mcnt cannot he raised in this way, then Congress
may, because it becomes necessary, provide still
further, and in doing so, "may give a preference
TO domestic over foreign products" Is this very
awful VI hat we contend against is, that Congress
shall not have an Undue regard "to the interests"
of PARTICULAR "sections Of the country, land
shall not so discriminate as to benefit any parlcu-
lar class, as class, separate from the common
whole. We have, further attempted 10 show mp
the filacies Of the wings by which they are en-
dcayoring to get up party excitement. We have
attempted To show up this humbug, they call pro-
lection, which Is at bottom 10 teaeG speculation
and igjure Labor, and not the protection which
the Resolution quoted con,cmplales. We are o,-
posed 10 hs protection bat nat to uuc Prot. in,
and wish The people TO understand tho matter
MS it is, and not as their enemies represent il. We
have taken the true ground, and we have driven
the wing papers from every position they have rs
sun,ed, and all they have done towards driving US
from ours or answering our arguments, they have
done hy Misrepresentation. and nv The use Of such
