THE TWO MARY'S AT THE TOMB OF
CHRIST.
By REV. cHGs. D. TAYLOR

pYREv. CHLs. D. TAYLOR.
What of the night?c.The angry heavens are calm
Ger banks of flowers the plaintive night breeze
signing,
Waits through the dewey glades their Od0rou'
balm,
Tho Golden light in c.oudles glory dying.
Blends with the purple shadows deepening round
The garden and the tomb, by Calvey's awful
mound,
What of the night In the soft spreading gloom
Pale women sit, their vigil keeping,
Silent and thoughtful by the hallowed tomb
Whore the cold corpse of their loved Lord was
sleeping,
The conflict and the agony are past,
And in that quiet grave the sufferer rests atlast
What of the night They answerednot awOrd;
Those faithful women, hopeless and heart bro
ken,
With dropping heads, hands clasped in sad accord
Needless they sat, and moi a word was spoken
Till one her sweet, her sorrowing face did raiSe'
And fixed upon the tomb her loving, steadiast
gaze.
What ofthe night? she said, ''Our night has
come,
How do we sit and weep in hopeless sorrow,
The Lord of Life lies buried in the tomb,
And 10Y can guild no more our checIless NOR
row.
What of the night? All! can it e'er be morn
To hearts Overwhelmed like ours, and utterly
forlorn?"
What of the worldl OH women meekly strong,
While others sleep, your wakeiul Ti;gilS
keeping,
fearless and faithful mid the faIthlesS throng,
A ioyful morn succeeds your night ofweeping'

War with Mexico.
The tariff of 1912 des-
troyed, and SO millions
squandered to support
and e.rtend American
Slavery.

Thus headed one Of most gaudy handbills
we have ever seen has been sent us, issued
by third party aboltionisis, calling q meet
ing at Poultncy to hear the Rev. John Pier
point talk about Slavery, the very man
who year or two since in Bristol took the
loco ground that every man had right 10
construe the constitution as he understood il,
and declared that the guarantees OF the con.
stitution and the constitution itself were null
and void so far as they contravened the laws
ofthe Almighty.
So then gentlemen, you whose vision has
never hitherto been extended beyond sin
gle idea, who have resolved all national meas
ures as of little comparative Importance
and so far as you regarded protec-
ton any thing through your great leader Mr..
Birney have declared your preference for
free trade and the locofoco party who sus-
tain it, and every other measure which you
now effect TO war against with such mighty
ardor, you have at last concluded to enlarge
your platform. You have stole the thunder
Of Jupiter TO save yourselves from sinking
into contempt even in the estimation OF your
own followers. The very evils you depri
Gated are those which for years the wings
have been laboring TO avert, while you have
been abuseing and defaming them. But
why do you commence your catalogue of
grievances at the war with Mexico. This
and the others which you have enumerated
are but the offspring Of Annexation the
blame Of which rests upon your own shoI-
ders? Why difyou not sooner have the pat
riotism & manliness 10 place yourselves up
on the broad grounds Of the great wing par.
ty which you now profess 10 approve in such
glazing capitals, In relation TO slavery
have not the wing party for twenty years
past uniformly breasted themselves against

the right of petition, trial by jury, liberty

inal usurpation OF slave power in making the
ireemen ofrhe republic tributary to the slave.
holders of the country. and The sacrifice of
the free labor of the north against The slave

yourselves into pur.s party as you pretend

Can i, be necessary for us 10 say a single
word 10 favor of the election of GEORGE
P. MARSH the statesman, the scholar and
the indomtable wing, man against whom
except as whig even his political opponents
have not Iisped censure, and whose superb

ELECTIONS.

NoRTH-CARoLINA. OF all the states which
hold their state elections in August, North
Carolina was the most important this year,
as two United States Senators depend upon
the complexion of her Legislature. The
Wings have sustained themselves nobly.-
Gov. Graham is re-chosen BY some 1000 ma
jority, and the Wings have a clear majority
in both branches of the Legislature. The
last Senate, was a tie, but the Wings have
4 clear majority Of two, and they will have
the preponJerance in joint ballo:.
In INDIANA, the Wings have majority IN
the House, and the Democrats prevail IN the
Senate. The prospects are that the wings
will have a majority in joint ballot, but no
United States Senator is 10 be chosen, and
no advantage will be secured their-by, Gov
Whircomb, Democrat, Is re-choseD by in
crease majority over that obtained by IhePolk
electors in 1914.
ILLINOIS. always Democratic state, has
not swerved from her false principles. In
several OF the Congressional Districts the
contest has been between Democrats Of diff
ierent cliques, and the success of either Is OF
no consequence TO the body polite in gener-
al. The first six districts inclusive have
chosen Democratic representatives. From
the seventh, the only Wing district IN the
state, we have no returns. Mr., French, the
Democratic candidate for Governor, is chos-
en- by large majority, and majority OF
both branches of The Legislature are of his
side in politics.
Missouri, like Illinois, goes strong for De-
mocracy. as it is there understood. No seri
Gus opposition was offered TO the Democratic
nominees for Congress in the several dis
tricts, and the Legislature is ofthe same
stamp. In ST. Louis city and county: where
the Wings formerly prevailed. the Native
candidates were elected. no Wings offering
for such barren contest. 1t is said that a
large majority has been given against the
new constitution.

All for the Farmer.

The cry Of the locolocos has always been
that the Tariff oil 1872 protected the manu-
iAciurer too much, while the farmer Mas Sc

toiorc put confidence in their hypocriical pro-
fessisns Of regard for his interests, we advise
him TO take the act Of 'l2 and the one just
passei-and compare them together. There
can be no deception in ihis-no danger ofbe-
lag blinded by Wing lies" He will find that

duced by the farmer has been cut down from

that il will increase impostaiions some 30 or

to show how utterly deceptive is all then
logic, even 10 relation TO coarse WOO, we
would earnestly bcseech our readers to read
the extract from the speech of MIR. Smith,
which we this day publish. How clearly
does it there appear that on coarse wool the
Tariff of 1912 was tNi ice as good as the pres
enI, and three GEMS per pound better on
fine. All the blams was in the execution.
II the duties had been properly levied on 2 or
Scent wool. they would have been IS or 20
per cent ad valorem. Instead of this we
have by the Tariffof 1916, cents and one
mill. Could there be greater mockery of
the wool grower than to insist that wool
costing S, 6 or Z cents per pound, could be
fine wool that would compete with their
own, when il it did, that two cents and one
mill would be any protection whatever
for the domestic clip. the lowest quality
of which nobody will think of raising for
less than 90 cents.

Town Representative.

There is very great importance this year
te be attached to the election Of Town Rep
resentatives. Should the Sd party persist in
their groundIess hostility to the Wings, there
will be no choice Of State officers by the
people. Should the election Jevolve on the
Legislature, there is an almost absolute Ger
rainty that the so called Liberty men will
amalsamate with the SO called Democracy.
Ii is not the cause Of the slave which the

The importance of L.
Mon, and a single vote.

1t is well known that by one vote in the
Senate of the United States, the Tariff bill Of
1912 was passed and by "a SINGLE vote also
was that Law repealed in 1916, and by the
vote of Mr.. flanagan, Wing, from Tennessee,
who had been instructed by the Legislature
Of that State to vote to repeal the law of1e-
40, and obeycd the instruction, although
against his conviction OF duty, otherwise than
to conform to The wishes Of his Legislature.
The Legislature Of Tennessee is composed of
IS Senators and rs Representatives. The
Senate districts are so composed that eleven
Senators are about certain 10 be elected Of
each party and usually twelve. The 18th
was chosen last year by the Loco Focos, by
lib majority, giving them one majority in
the Senate. The House of Representatives
was 80 Locos and sc Wings. One Loco was
chosen from Fayette County which gave Mr..
Clay 1905 and Mr.. Polk isl votes in 1874
and usually gives from loo to $50 Wing ma
jority. but at the last election gave 1902 wing
and 1897 Loco, making 1I3 less in the Wing
vote than given to Mr.. Clay in 1914. Anoth-
err Loco Representative was chosen in Roans
county by division in the Wing ranks from
local causes, which gave Harrison sos ma
jority in 1910, and never less than us which
was given at that same election in 1916 for

THE GALAXY.
MIDDLEBURY. VT.
Tuesday. August 25, 1916.
Coarse Wool no
is tO-blame.

How supremely ridiculous it is for
Gus for a good protection on coarse rool.
when their own Congress have added 10 the
duties but one cent and seven mills for rev.
enuc only, and openly dehounce any duty
for protection whatever. This is not, how
ever, the FIRST bright jewell of consistency
which they have exhibited 10 the public.
The history ofthe passage Of the Tariff Of
1912 will make them wholly responsible for
the very defect of which they complain.
Never have we witnessed in any Loco jouin-
al, high or low, more bare faced falsehood,
than that made by the Vermont Patro, a
week or two since.-'Mat it is qceH knc1rn
that erery possible effort ,cds made by the
democrats 10 protect the ,sOel CROKER against
this rool.'
The facts are. that when the Tariff bill of
1912 came up. it proposed that all wool COS
tin. under cents should be admitted duty
free. This proposition startled the friends Of
the wool growers. They saw that fine woOl
which began TO be raised in South America
rom the introduction Of Merino rams among
the hochs Of that country, might compete
| with their own. The patriotic delegation
from Vermont took the lead in migrating into
The bill the word COARSE, showing Congress
specimens OF coarse and fine wool. This
main provision is followed by others calcula-
ted TO make the bill still more efficient as pro-
tective, by guarding against frauds 10 packing
and mixing and invoicing, las see the
words OF the Tariff in Mr.. Smiths speech
Thus all wool which does not come under
faithfully executed. would be subject 10 the
the highest rate Of duties; to wit. three
cents per pound and 30per cent ad valorem,
which on wool costing cents is equivalent
TO rs per cent ad valorem. If fine or medi-
um wool, which according to the spirit Of the
act is such wool as com2etes with the
American fleece, no matter what It cost
abroad. it was subject TO the highest rate of
duties. ButI.oco Custom-housc officers under
The control Of the executive. have never pre-
tended 20 give any efficacy TO the word
COARSE. They have only looked after the in
voice, generally fraudue nj ,and il that showed
! A cost Of only cents, the wool was admitted
at per cent. only. 70 enable the Custom
house officers to carry the iarif'iut effect in
this respect, Gov. Slade addressed a letter 10
Mr.. Forward, then Secretary Of the Treas
ury, desiring that specimens of wool, distin-
gushing tue fine from the coarse. should De
provided for custom-houscs throughout the
United States. To this proposition Mr.. F.
acceded and would have carried it into effect,
had he not been soon after thrust out Of office
by John Tyler.

Down with the Capt.
talists ! They grow
Rich.

Loco demagogues have ever calculated
in making political capital out Of crying,
down manufacturing capitalistsr They
charge them with the enormous crime Of
growing rich, and yet it is very difficult to
discover the guilt Of growing rich if i, is
honestly done, and especially if those who
grow rich enable every body els to grow
rich upon the means they furnish. This il
certainly true Of men who invest their money
in manufactures. They build your FORCES,
your cotton mills and woolen factories. erect
your villages and employ and pay your Ia
borers aGd furnish market for all the great
staple productions Of the farmer. For our
selves. we wish VIC had twenty capitalists
among us where we have one now engaged
in profitable manufactures. And the more
money they make the greater is the chance
for working men aud farmers TO make money
out Of them. Reduce these profits and YOU
force them to reduce The price ofwages and
produce. Who can be ignorant that for in.
stance as to the manufacturer ofwool three
lourths at least of The price is paid out to the
farmers and operatives for labor and the raw
maieriall To judge more correctly of the
advantages oflhc farmers and la6oring men
from the operations of manufacturers, look
into The neighborhood Of their establishments.
There every man has full employment and
full pay. There the farmer finds a ready
market for his produce. The women and
even children are probably employed, and
every one cheered with the hopes of ease
aud competency in their declining days
Who, then, will now tell US that TO build up
manufacturers is only to aid capitalists who
are nothing more nor less than those who
have got some money to make more out of,
and who while bene6tting themselves be-
stow benefits upon hundreds of others.
IL there was any exclusive privilege for
manufacturing, there would be some ground
for complaints that those engaged in them
made TOO much money. But there is no
monopoly in this country. There is no
branch of business which every man is no,
free TO engage in. II any one imagines that
his neishbor is growing rich in any employ
ment, let him follow his example and grow
rich too. Ii the farmer is making as is said
but three or four per cent. upon his invest

vyins SO bitterly against manufactures for
growing rich, let these shallow pated de-
Chalmers endeavor to grow rich themselves in
the same way, rather than try to impoverish
their neighbors. LEVEL UP is THE
RIGHT WAY,& NOTLEVEL DOWN
Beside, if any branch of manufacturing j.
profitable, why not let our coun,rr,non en-
