FREE TRADE!

The Secretary of the Treasury opens his
mouth wide and speaks plan-denOuncing Pro
tection and clarifying Free TRADE. In Short he
is British all over. In his zeal to make a great
show, especially to bamboozle the farmers he
has fairly let the cat out of the bag"-as we
shall show ere long When all the facts come
out, it will be found that the ground of the Pro
tectionsts is firm. We now record few Brit.
ish jlcts, to show the effect of the new Tariff on
British interests.
British exports to The United STATES.
Thread and sewing cotton, 4o6 4O5 bs. COL 747 lbs.
Cambrics musns, lawns, 37i236 yds. l,I3l,0ll yds.
Lace, gluze, &c, 2,5iO,92O yds. 5,7Si,921 yds.
Woolens, value, fLIl57H Gl,6i3,005
Printed dyed calcos 95os2li yds. 3295l s5s yds
If any of our readers keepa file of the Watch,
man, lie! them turn to the papers of Aug. 1876
ard see the predicted increase offoreign exports
they will find our estimates likely to be more
than verified by the reality.
Now compare the above exports TO the United
States with British exports to her own North A
merican colonies:
Thread and sewing cotton, l2,447 lbs 6O,62s lbs.
Cambics, musus, lawns &C., 2S5 500 yds 1856 $40 yds
Lace gauzo, &C., l,9l4,s5l yds. s57,sel yds.
So the results are, that to the United States
with a reduced Tariff, B'nish exports we're vast
ly increased at the very moment the exports t.
her own colonies were decreased. The Tariff
of 1916 was rightly named-A BRITISH TARIFF

PENNY WISE AND POUND
FOOLISH.

The President is Jealous for tax on tea and
Coffee confessng that It will raise only three
millions. The Postmaster General also tells us
that postage must not be reduced during the war,
although it is evident that the present rates will
more than pay expenses another year: so here is
another War tax; and Mr.. Walker tells us that
certain lands must be put up cheaper and get a
million more-and then perhaps half million
more may be got out Of Mexico. Here, then,
are the additional means provided by the Govern
ment to carry on the warm all amounting to
less than five millions Of dollars. Now let us
look at the debit side: on the LIST ofJuly AZ, the
President and Mr. Walker tell us the deficit will
be $l5,729, | IA %, and on the LIST of July ls49,
it will be S36,274O55 80. Now add the exist

OUR RAILROAD.

From every quarter we hear Of prePara-
lions for commencing work upon The Rail-
road 10 this region. Shantees are now cree
ting at the crossing ofNew- Haved River,
and we are assured from the most reliable
sources that nothing but the backwardness OF
the seasons prevents immediate operations
upon various points between Burlington and
Brandon.
10 relation TO the progress ON the road on
the east side Of the mountain. we take the
folio WING from the Ludlow Genius Of Liber-
iy:
In addition TO the above we are glad TO say
that the road on Shis side of the mountain
is progressing finely. considering the wealth

village. we noticed on om return from Bos-
ton las, week, that the work was going on
in Rockingham, Bauonsville. The north part
Of Chester and at Cavendish notch. We
are also surprised at the progress Of the
Cheshire road. 1t is almost entire iy graded
to Keene. except through Troy, where The 81

shall expect to see passengers take the cars
from Keene before another winter Ed.

HANCOCK MAIL.

We spoke last week or The Hancock mail
as having been intrigued a,ody from the
people
The word Intrigue as formerly when we
alluded TO this subject, seems to have again
throwuihe editor ofIheV Voice intoa caicniptic.
Why, Mr.. IL, is !, because you are 'hi'.'
that you make such futter ! You seem
ietei mined on giving a sure direction to the
public suspicious on the subject. The name
ni our editor would never have been counec-
isi with it. had he rot iuterposcd his excul-
paiory clnquence whenever re have ALLUDED

buso OF The Hancock route continued in his
last. vs. lich there is too much reason TO be
heve comprises the logic which somebody
must have used TO induce the Post master
General TO discontinue the mail, lessen IN
any degree the unfavorable Inference OF the
public in relation 10 the author Of a transac-
ton too odious soon to be forgotten by the
people in tins quarter.
The Hancock route is now run by Col.
Hacket, who has taken the contract.
III were in neighbor Bells place, | would
try to ferret out the intIiguer Who intrigued
that ancient route away from him and
when found. would mete out TO him such
punishment as he deserves 1t was a las
cally plot of some one. without doubt .-auG
now that the Post Master General has re-
stored the route, it is full as bad as that no
one will appear to take the contract for car
ryng the M all from East Middlebury, across
the Ripton mountain, to Hancock, land back,
al The rate of $40 per mile flor atri-weekly
routeJ per year AS have understood the
matter, the proposition from the Department
IS, that a seml-weekly route be established
from East Middlebury or RiptOn, to Han
cocs, OIL condition that the mail contract is
ND off at the price issued. The distance
from East Middlebury TO Hancock being a.
bout 10 miles; the mountain on each side of
very steep ascent, and there being two toll
gates to pass, it must readily be seen that
Slo6 TO sos per year for carrying the mail
on this route, twice week each way, cannot
be very great object for any man. Perhaps
though, should friend Bell send out another
'inlimaton, some one will take the bid.
