MIDDLEBURY. VT.
Tuesday. August 10, 1916.
Panic Making.

The ruthless course pursued by the pres
eut dynasty. has. from the commencement
been alarming 10 every intelligent and patri-
otto citizen. No sooner had the danger Of
war with England subsidized, than the ma
ton suddenly Finds itself involved in war
with Mexico. Then comes appropriations 10
the amount of THIRTY. OR FORTY
MILLIONS to pay the enormous expendi-
lures This is Immediately, followed by
REPEAL OF TIE TARIFF of l642,
from which nothing can be anticipated but
iwpoverishmsnt and bankruptcy, the
ruin Of the industrial interests Of the nation,
and the withdrawal Of so MILLIONS OF
SPECIE to meet the sbaIance Of trade
against US arising from increased importa-
lions OF foreign fabrics. At last comes the
SUBTREASURY! admirably calculated TO
embsrrass the monied institutions Of the
country. and crush business in all its vario u
departments.
Startled thus With policy which so
sorely conflicts with their Frightening hopes
OPP ospeGty in the present palmy state Of
affairs, the people protest. They send their
indignant remons,rances TO Congress. They
are treated with derision and contempt.
Theysaie snseringly told THAT THE La
Dor OF THE NORTH is BUTA
SMALL NATTER They are charged
with an attempt to get up a PANIC. The
organs and minions Of the party instantly
ring PANIC! PANIC! from one end o.
the county to the other, thus attempting to
smother the just complaints Of the people
against ;heir destructive measures. Aud has
it come to this, that a cliquel of political
loafers who for the sake Of Office would
strike down millions in the nation who get
their living by honest industry, can lull the
people into the belief that they are laboriug
under imaginary evils, by the cuckoo cry of
PANICE constantly ringing in their ears J
II so. it is certaiuly.lime to despair Of the re-
public. 1t is but too truo that for years past
the people have been made TO suffer patiently
the most CALLING ouirases when inflicted in
the name ofDEMOCRACY. But: the re-
cent example Of Pennsylvania shows that
there is point of dupIicity which cannot be
passed with safety. While smarting under
the repeal of fine Tariff Of Is42, under which
thousands of our lahoring class throughout
the Union have been already reduced in their
wages or wholly thrown out of employ, ev-
cry doubt has been swallowed up in reality.
The cold chill Of death to her great industrial
interests can no longer lie concealed. The
sentiment Of Treachery in her leaders is
deep and universal. The man " hose vote
has crushed her energies. and blasted the
business hopes Of her people. has been twice
hung in efigy BY his own party. And in
spite OF the painted demagogues protesting TO
besDEMOCRATS, who are crying out
PANIC! PANIC! and insisting that the
people should submit. like .gally slaves.to their
task masters. REPEAL. of The odious
BRITISH &SLAVEOCRATIC TARIFF

THE FRUIrs.-The disastrous effects Of
overthrow of The Tariff are beginning TO be
left in various parts Of the country. The
Carpet Company at ThompsonvilIe, Conn.,.
have been compelled 10 reduce the wages OF
thrir werkmen twenty FIVE per cent. in view
oi the effect which the new Tariff will imme-
diltely have upon their business Weavers
who have received 81 and "a . cents per
yard, will now get but l5 for the same work.
The Philadelphia North American states
that one of the hc1r;cst manufacturers of
woollen goods in West Moyamensing has
opped his looms. Others have made re-
,!ucIion Of Il cent and 4 hall cent on fab
RIGS, and several have been compelled to dis
charge hands. An extensive iron manu-
factory has been obliged TO discharge large
number ofmen. Fair;nnunt aud other manu-
factoring districts OF Philadelphia will either
have TO stop, or make reduction of from rs
TO so per cent. on wages.
A new hinge mandatory in Southwark will
not he able TO go on. Ii is reported that the
Globe Mill in Kensia=ton. will discharge one
or two hundred hands.

PAYMENT OF AssEssMESTs.-So g,eats and
apparent is our interest in this Road that il
would seem unnecessary TO urge the cour-
try subscribers to fulfill their pledges fully
and Immediately This the city subscribers
will receive as the happy omen absolutely
necessary to cheer them on to an undertaking
which is so great and so mutually beneficial
in its accomplishment No plea Of bard
times and low prices can excuse .subscri
Der from payment if he has the ordinary abil.
iiy. 1t is duty he owes to his own interest
II is no gtatuity to another or sacrifice 10
the public. Every dollar which any man
who has stake ia the country or its bus-..-
ness, casts upou the waters ofIhis greatesto
all enterprises for Western Vermont, will il
all human probability be returned at least tro
fold.
Profit OF INVESTMENT. Independent OF
the immense benefits to agriculture manu-
features and the increase Of business OF every
description which may be anticipated from
the construction Of this road, when assess
menls are called for it is very rational to en-
quire as TO the profit Of the investment. tits
now we'll understood that the shreN dest mon
led men in Boston for years past hars
regarded investments in Railroad stock as
the very best that can be made. Better than
houses which may be burnt up, or lands, be-
cause more easily managed. SAFER than
bank stock, which bad move may reodsr
valuless, while the hills and vallies which
railroads traverse, can never be shaken or
consumed. Beside, every region where rail-
roads have penetrated not liable to SEN
ious rivalry. the increase Of passage and
freight has vastly surpassed all previous cal
culation. A railroad passing through couR-
try is like an electric shock which stimulates
the farmer, manufacturer and mechanic 10
redouble his productions, and sets not onIy
the people but the very forests, the rocks aad
mines in motion over its track. Every rail
road in New England which has not been in
terfered with by rival, has succeeded be-
yond the most sanguine expectations. Even
the Great Western Railroad, whose stock
from the immense expense OF construction,
was long below par, is now valuable invest
ment. We see from Boston paper that
from the 1st of January TO the first OF July.
il had received SOL 900 more ;han during the
same time last year. The business 81 the
Fnchbursh road has also increased esyard
all previous estimates. What then may be
anticipated from tue Rutland Road, bordered
by the richest agricultural aud miaeIai region
in New EngIund, which is li1ble 10 no rival
nv. which can be constructed at half the ex-
pense of many whose siOck is now worth 20
per cent, and whose way business alone will
Weld it au ample support, without looking
forward to a successful competition for the
vast business which will flow in from the
west over the Ogdensbursh road.

THE TARIFF OF 1876.

The Loco journals have devoted all their
efforts to abuse the Tariff of 1912 on the
score of coarse wool, as if nothing else was
worthy ofimportance. From the follow VIM;
contrast between the Tariff Of 1912 and the
present, we can see how completely prOtec-
ton is abandoned on several of the most i'm
por,ant articles of manufacture IN the United
States, especially on wooden goods, which in
relation to wool is Of more importance Than
on the raw material, as this is valuess unless
the home manufacturer Of il is sustained.
The TARIFF OF 1912 coxrnAsrED WITH
THE TARIFF OF ls46-The British Protec-
live Tariff Law, which an American Con
gress has enacted. while il subjects Luxuries
10 light duties, strikes iarally at the Mechan-
zeal and I.aboring Glasses. Hence Mr. Web
ster said:
And now | say that when this bill shall be
passed. there will be no need of writing on the
body Of it whether it is a Democratic or an
Arisiocraric bill. When The laborng man
sees that the duty on the raw material which
forms the staple of his work if raised. while
that on silks, on spices. on preserved fruits,
on rich carpets, and on itch cut glass is low
cred, he will not ask any man to give the bill
its name-its name is on its face. 1t is an
arisirocratic bill, and every item in it cores
ponds TO that general character
Here follows a table Of present duties, in
contrast with the new bill. Take few
items:

Away, then! with Sd
Partyism!!

The mischiefs which have sprung from the
diversions it has made from the Wing party
are awful enduring. In other STATES it has
degenerated into the most loathsome ultra
isms. 1t has declared war against religion,
and turned traitor TO the Union and the Con-
sttu,iou. Those good men in Vermont who
pioneered for it ten years ago have long since
repudatedit. Some such men now belong

sorbed in the promotion of their personal ag

THE CARPET MANUFAC TURER.

THE CARPE L MANUFAC
A Hartford correspondent Of the New York
Tribune, in speaking of the reduction of wa
ges in The Thompsonvile and Tari1ville
Carpet Manufacturing Companies, consa-
qucnt upon the rcpsaI Of the Tariff Of 1912,
says
These Companies-,he Thompsonvillc,

with some 500 souls in each, who ATE fed

They pay ABOUT $4,000 at each village,
annually, for labor. Labor is one half oil The
cost Of carpe;iug with us; and labor thereon

TRUTLAND RAIL ROAD; ASSESSMENTS.
A letter from Burlington, states that The as
sessmcnts due on the 18th inst. are nearly all
paid. Another letter from Brandon states
that many assessments had been paid, and
that the fullest confidence was entertained
there that there would be: but few delin-
quencies. 1t will be seen by an extract from
the Rutland Herald, that there will be no
finching in that region. Here very con-
siderable amount has been received, and
payments are coming in daily.

The truth is, the wings

We would as soon look for efficient anti

Says gentleman who once belonged to this

the disinterestedness Of its leaders. Il haz-
