HOW DOES TIE MATTER sTAND2

The Middlebury Peoples Press IN reply TO some
rsmarks Of certain Free Traders tho Mountain,
and especially of the Weybridge scribber, remarks
''Indecd expressed the conviction that instead
Of constituting him defeRdcr of the agricultural in
teres, he was virtually its bterest foe for thus Ia
boring to bring the present Tariff into disrepute. This
position we shall by no means rcnquish, as every
day is developing the snutary operations of the Tariff
upon the business prosperity Of the country-By the
publication Of Mr. Slade last week the great error of
Mr. Jewet in insisting that the importation of
wool was checked by the Tariif on that article is
made ms apparent rs the noond day Leaving all
the rising 10 Mr. Jewct, experience is the only
test In 1910 before the existence ofthe present
Tariff, according to Mr. Jewett's statement, the
amount Of foreign coarse wool imported was II mil
lions In 1871 this amount did not much exceed 10
millions. But now let every wool grower look to the
results Of 1912, and whether Congress has failed
in securing protection to the wool growing interest
From statement which, as Mr. Shade asserts in
of the Treasury, appears that during the FIRST half of
the present fiscal year, which commenced one month
after the present Tariff went into operation there was
imported
Wool costing cts or under, ISL 1868
Which being doubled for the entire year will stand
as follows:
Wool costing cts. or under, l,762, 7s6
Wool costing cents 95l, 1924
Now compare this with the importations of the year
ending Sept. SOth, 1912, which follows:
Wool costing cts under, lO,53s, 99S
Wool costing over cents, ISL, 1884
Thus there appears falling off after the establish
mcnt of the tariff from 10 millions and half to one
million three quarters. Now to the Buenos Ayres
wool, the great stalking horse which MIR Jewet has
put into the field of his valuable labors for the ogr-
cultural interests OF the State of Vermont. Previous
to the adoption OF the tariff the importation OF wool
subject to duty of per cent for the year ending
Sept 30lh, 1882 was I, 304 900. For the months
ending March lS43, 5OI, TAG, This doubled for the
entire year, and have 200, 492, reduction from
millions and to little over one million
The argument in favor Of the present tariff wool is
complete. Such is the triumph ofstubborn facts over
the erroneous statements and visionary speculations
of Nir Jewett Haw perfectly does documentary
proof put out the light of his far,hing candle. Oh
rare, sir oracle of Weybridge! Verify, should the
fnrmer of Addison County give You an ioflical token
Of their gratitude for your patriotic abos in pushing
down tariff which has proved itself thus efficient land
which, when destroyed, protection is gone for
ever, and the country again ground down under the
iron heel OF southern saveocracy"

tinualy on the advance, and will progress in time to
come "1he Scholars Misson," Mr.. d. proclaimed
as his theme. What is the scholar what is his OBJ
ject in life These were the questions asked and
most ingenously answered by the orator.
At noon the "Alumni'' sat down at a table pre-
pared in good style. Gen. Root who graduated so
years ago, was chosen President, Gov. Hubbard and
Hon Levi Woodbury., Vice Presidents. Sentiments,
accompanied by brief remarks, were given by Messrs
Root, Hubbard Woodbury., Daniel Webster, New
