which has turned out to be of the purest loco

Notwithstanding the false report that was
circulated that the call was made at the re-
quest OF more than two hundred fieemcn Of the

Chester to Rochester, yet the Town Hall pre-
sented "a beggarly account Of empty boxes."-.-

DEMOCRATIC ELECTION
EERTNG COMPUTATION.

In the last Vermont Patriot we find the following
arithmetical and logical deductions, on the compar-
alive merits of the tariffs of 42 and 40 The Editor,
Major Charles G. Eastman, must think he has a
bright set of arhmetcians for parons else he would
not feed them with such wool statistics as lie has just
before the coming election Just look at the Majors
cvpherng, together with the soft soap used in
smoothing the logic.
THE THREE CENTS SPECIFIC.
The pertnacity with which the federal papers and
federal street-taers adhere TO the cents specific
duty on fine WOOL imposed by the act of AZ, and
abolished by the act Of 'l6, would induce one, not
acquainted with statistical facts in relation to the
importation of wool, to believe that all the revenue
derived and all the protection accruing from the act
of 2, to be in consequence Of this per cent spcci-
fic duty on fine wool"
Now this 3 cents on fine wool must be the only
fine thing about the tariff Of ~. But the statistics
unfortunately show that the difference between what
this glorious 3 cents did pay all wool imported in
to the United States from 1872 inclusive up to the
Both of June, 1915, and what it would have paid if
the new act had been in operation with the 3 cents
off, is precisely and exactly the enormous and as
founding sum OF -
During the time We have specified, there were i'm
ported into the United States, of the wool upon
which this 3 cents was levied l,GH,977 lbs, which
paid duty of Sl2S,67l 40. Under the new uct this
same wool, with the 3 cents Oft would have paid
Sl23, 730 50--a difference of $4,03i 30. Surely if
the country lose that immense amount of protection,
aud gain the difference on the coarse wool, which
