nlER PRR SIS
PRODUCTION or SUGAR IN VERMONT.

Do our readers know, that next TO Lou
isiana, Vermont is the greatest sugar-pro-
ducing STATEN the Union, according to her
population 7 Such is the fact. According to
the report Of tile commissioner of Patents
(who is required by law to report agricultur-
al s,atistics,) Vermont produced 5,119,26i
bs. of sugar lover 1850 ,ons) in 1910, being
over II "a lbs to each inhabitant At 5
cts. per ID. this gives S255 1858, 2O-being
more than onc-Gfih Of the value ofo wool
at 80 cts. per H.. But this amount VIC are
confident is very far short Of that actually
produced in 1910; il certainly is very far
below the quantity produced this year. We
understand that large number of the far
mers Of Barre gave in their returns of this
years produce on last Saturday week, from
which the produce then for the town was cs-
timated AT over 20 tons, and the probable
amount for the season was set down at 40
tons. The population of that town is 2l26
amount produced, over ll2 lbs. to each
inhabitant. The same proportion through
on, the state would give 32,G0S,l76 lbs.-
tina, is, over l6,34o tons, worth at 5 cts.
rrr Id. 1854, 9S so--being more than the
whole value Of the wool! This is a mere es-
innate, it is true yet we think it safe to say,
tha,thc sugar produced in Vermont this year
will be worth one million dollars at 5 cents
per ID. When we remember that sugar is
produced with very little actual expense, and
at time when agricultural labor cannot 9TH
erwise be employed, it proves to be branch
Of business whose importance has been al
together moderated. We think we have
not even now presented it as strongly as we
might. Add the facts, that not one half Of
the sugar-mapics in the state are used, and
that the business is not Systematically enter
cd into, and ii would probably be safe to say
that the farmers Of Vermont can, if they
choose to do so, produce more than double
the amount above estimated. II IS subject
worthy of the attention Of the farn.ers-and
ofCongrcss, 100, Sugar must be protected
and we are glad to see tlla, it is embraced in
the ncw tariff BILL ITatchm0n.

FRIDAY MORNING. APRIL, %, 1912.
THE NEW TARIFF.

The bill reported to the House of Rep
resentativcs Of the United States by Mr..
SALToNsTALL, Chairman of the Committee
on manufactures, if passed into law, will,
SO far as we are capable of judging, afford
reasonable protection to all branches of our
domestic industry. 1t appears 10 have been
drawn up with great care, after patient,
laborous and extensive examination of the
whole subject, and, in the main, with due refer
encc to the interests of the whole country.
We understand, however, that an effort vii
be made by our delegation, to increase the
duties on imported wool above the rate al
present fixed by the i'll, and we sincerely
hope il may prove successful. We hope this
measure may be the commencement of q
great National system, which, shall become
the permanent policy Of our Government
in all future time. 1t is in vain to cxpcc,
the period will ever arrive when Govern.
mcnts will be dIsintcrcsted in their plans, Of
that Nations will regard each other as mem.
bcrs of one great, friendly, harmonious fam
lily. National, like individual charity shoulc
begin at home, and hence it always has been
and probably always will br, found necrssar,
for Governments, in the first place, to regart
the interests Of those Tor whom they act, a
the same time treating others with as mucl
lbcrality and friendship as is compatible
with their own welfare and prosperity. The
vote on the bill of Mr.. Saltonstal will furnsl
another test by which we may be enabled
to decide who are, and who are not, friend
of the Protective policy. And when TIN
question is decided, the yeas and nays shall
be spread before our readers that they ma.
see for themselves who are the true friend
f of AMERICAN LABOR.

lie would be forced to flee to the cultivation of
the soil by a horizontal tariff of twenty per cent,
and in his new pursuit he would be joined by
the various oherclasses dependent upon his la
bors, and from consumer would become pro.
Queer to the extent of his own wants but who
will buy that'surpus Of -four, pork, wool and
cotton, formerly required to sustain the $4,000
shoenakers and those dependent on them!
We do not believe that man in Congress
would willingly produce such state Of things
but yet there are many who in the heat Of ex-
cited jealously, and msled by false reasonngs,
advocate doctrines which in their application
would inevitably lead to these results.

in question, and their regrets that man Of

WASTE AND CORRUPTION OF TIE
VAN BUREN, ADMINISTRATIONS.
We put on record Mr.. Mcrriwcthers Report
on the waste and corruption practscd in Flori-
da, as a lasting monument Of the profit yate
proligality of Van Buren's Administrations
We invite to it the serious consideration of the
country. 1t is, compiled from official sources
and every statement it contains may be implicit
ly relied on.
This, however, is only single Department.
The same waste pervaded every branch of the
public service. Wherever the Government
made a contract it was 1leeced- whether for the
hire Of steamboats,, the removal Of Indians, the
purchase Of wood, or coal, or lime. 1t would
seem that the Administration considered itself
en'rnsted with The public money, only to feed
Is needy favortcs and partsans. Certain it is,
o...t such was the only use made of the public
moncy-and for the millions squandered by
Van Buren,, nothing can be shown, except de.
faulting off .crs and swindllng accounts.
AS german to this mater, we subjoin letter
