THE STATE SCHOOL FUND.


The subject oflhe State school fund, has within
few years past attracted much of the public at
tention Bills for its abolition have been gravey
considered by the Legislature for several years
past the press has entertained discussions on the
policy or impocy of the measure, and attempts
have been made 10 enls. political parties on the
one side or tho other, as it was believed the meas
ure would meet the appreciation or disapprobation
of the people. The subject is without doubt one
of grave import to the entire population of the
State. 1t involves the consideration and proper
disposition of millions of the peoples money, and
the subject should be considered with no reference
to any party now in being, or to come. If the
State school fund, as measure of state financial
policy is defensbe and ought to be sustained, it is
so independent of any party considerations; if it
be indefensible and ought to be abolished, no par
ty consideration should interpose to prevent lis alb
clifton No temporary, sectional or party motives
should influence US in the decision Of this ques-
tion
1t is proposed to consider the subject of the
school fund in accordance with the preceding sug,
gestions, in several brief weekly numbers in such
manner, as it is hoped, will secure for them the
candid consideration of the public, and an inser.
ton into the columns of Il ose papers, whose con
ductors wish their readers to become interested 10
the proper disposition of this fund

~ The 'ciphering,' by which the Locos attempt
TO prove to the intelligent Vermonters, that 'moder-
ate protection is worse than none is only equaled
by that of the boy, who 'cphered the dog into the
oven, and the cat up chimney BY the way, what
has become of those crowns of glory which were
to encircle the 'brows' of the Hon. Silas Wright
and the two three other Locofoco worthless, who
voted Tor this black tariff on its final passage
and to whom was awarded by these journals then,
all praise and honor! If we remember rightly these
locos Msn the loudest of any in their profes.
sons of JOY upon its passage, and would modestly
have appropriated all the glory Of 1t to themselves.
But they made nothing by playing 'possum' then,
and they will not now,
The intelligent farmers Of this State have studied
somewhat the principles of a tariff for themselves
and need but little instruction either from its real
friends or its open or disguised enemies
We take the following farmer-ke and very good
illustration of the principles Of free trade from an
exchange paper.
To grant free trade appears very like the bar
gain between two farmers, one OF whom was re
markable for the goodness, and the other for his TO
tai wan, of fences. The latter proposed TO pasiar,
common, and thereby save a great annual expense
in keeping up fences, which after all, when looked
at on general principles argued the latter, coulc
not but be view ed as unnecessary barriers.
The former answered, have no objection to al.
low my cattle TO run in your fields, when your pas
ture happens 10 be better than mine but noiwith
standing general principles shall take care iha
my fences shall a, all times keep out your caltl,
/ from my pastures
| Not unlike this is the system Of granting fire,
trade 10 nations who still continue protective or pro
hibiilve duties. When their own markets are best
they keep their productions at home but when III,
prices greater in a foreign market, they have M
objection To supply it. Tais may be a homey com
parison, bu, there is good deal of truth in il never
theless and all the fne-spun theories OF free trade
OF buying m the cheapest and selling in The deares
market, are only theories, and very lallacous ones
as long Of the parties regulate his owl
market by protective duties on grounds directly op
posed by those praciised by us general unprinci
/ pied associate.
