Business Prospects.

The New York Tribune takes rather a
gloomy view of business prospects, and
says
Collections from the interior are slug
glsh, and merchants in numerous in.
stances are obliged to take care of both
sides Of their bill book From the West
and South commercial advices are alike
unsatisfactory, and it is apparent that the
year 1866 will yield a larger harvest Of
bad debts than has been made in a long
time. Great hopes are entertained of re
lief from Congress, but it is hard to see
how that body can help people whose DIFF
hculties proceed from overtradng upon
paper money, which, having performed
its task, must now be retired Help will
be given to the public at large by reducing
taxation to the point where nothing but
interest on the national debt and the ord-
nary expenses of government would be
realized. This would cheaper the prices
of commodities, stimulate production and,
give fresh employment to labor but it
would not relieve people from the neces-
slty of paying existing debts with com
modities selling at half their cost. Re
lief cannot come by increasing; the
amount Of irredeemable paper, and ii is
safe to assume that Congress will commit
no such folly, but allow the policy of CON
traction adopted at the last session to con-
tinue in full force. All that is wanted in
the way of new legislation is authority to
the treasury to pay such commission as
will change speedily the 7-30s and 5-20s
or an absolute long bond at less rate
than 6 per cent. if it can be DONE What
Is needed is a conversation of 7-30s and
of compounds so rapid as to make it alb
solutely certain that no currency will be
called for by the holders at maturity. The
country has been damaged enough already
by using the national debt as circulating
money, and any price will be cheap
which will convert debt, to be currency at
maturity into funded debt, to be paid when
the country RECEIVERS somewhat from the
losses suffered in suppressing rebellion.

Finance and Busin ess,

The country is suffering greatly in its
business and finance at the present time
from the delay of Congress In determin-
ing what shall be the policy in relation
TO the currency. 1t is almost universally
agreed that return to specie payments
should be made as early as possible. vet
1t will be found that a large proportion
of the people who agree to the proposi-
ton theoretically, are very much afraid
that the result may be brought about
too soon. They really think that such
a state of things is desirable, or rather.
perhaps, that permanent prosperity
cannot be attained without specie ba-
sis for the currency, but are unwilling
to risk any inconvenience in a realiza-
ton of so desirable an object.
There are but few persons, probably.
who do not regard it as fortunate for the
general interests of the country that so
distinguished f1nancier is at the head
of the Treasury department, yet his pol
icy finds as much opposition from various
quarters and for as many reasons as
would that of the policy of any other
man of like financial reputation. Even

and agree generally with his views,
have shown towards some of his propo-
sitions great opposition, and have not
hesitated to question his integrity in re-
gard to them.
Should any one look to reports from
Washington, as an indication of what
Congress may do, or what the finance
committees may agree upon, he will be
as much in the dark as though he at
tempted to look into darkness itself
The views OF some of the members of
those committees may be known, vet it
is by no means to be conjectured what
they may report for the action of Con-
gress, or should they report any par
tlcular measures that they will be
adopted by Congress. Even the action
OF Congress which takes place, is made
a subject of doubt, with different inter
pretations put upon it, and equally diff
fering statements of what that action is.
AS instances OF this, there were not only
conflicting statements of proposition
submitted to the Senate BY Senator
Pomeroy, but upon this it was remarked
that the proposition to increase the ma.
tional bank circulation another hun

We notice the Vermont Transcript is

eles relative to the History of st. AL
bans, containing sketches of its early
settlers and business men,-its public
Institutions. Its editorial column this
week also contains an article entitled
"Old Newspapers" in which is given a
summary Of the local news of the day

few items.
Lotteries were evidently popular in
those days, If the advertisements are any
criterions to judge by; for they occupy
considerable space in the Repertory.
"Phenix Lottery" is announced to be
drawn "under the superintendent of
the judges ofthe Windsor County Court,
or persons duly appointed by them" Mr..
Spooner, the publisher, kept Lottery

ters" could be had by Immediate appli-

II poverty haunt you, to SPooNER then fly,
In a ticket or two your luck quickly try;
But II fortune by chance should tilt you lust then
Don't give up the ship" man, bit try her
again!
At the head of some Of the advertise
ments We read: From the lotteries
hereafter to be drawn, the State will de-
rive handsome sum for the support of
Common Schools" Such language would
read queerly in these latter days when
lotteries are so generally discountenanc-
ed. But In those days they were legalized

patroniza them nor is it now to buy

SERVED EN- r. qHT.-About week
ago two Irishmeu OF Chester, in the en-
ploy of the Rutland ana Burlington rail-
road discovered upon the side of the rail
road barrel of flour that had accident
ly fallen from the cars. Instead Of re.
porting the fact, they steathily carried
it home. The fact was communicated
to the officers of the road and on satur-
day last MIR. Chase, theroadmaster, went
to Chester and discharged the two men,
Notwithstanding they were ready to pay
for the barrel of flour that they had
"found," He gave them to understand
that it was not the intention of the
managers of the road to keep men in
their employ whom they knew were dis
posed to be llght-fngered, and to take
property not their own, even iE "found"
upon the roadside.

RUTLAND HERALD.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1867,
PROMOTE. of American Industry.

The conditions OF success in an inter
est so extensive as American industry is
q question of national importance.
There must be a community OF Interest
IS well as cooperation between capital
and labor. The period has come when
such q distribution of profits as secures
TO capital the greatest income and leaves
10 labor sufficient only to support a
hopeless existence should be changed,
The State exercises the right of judg'
ment between the employers and the en-
ployed, and determines all controversies
between them with reference to the pub
lie good. Labor in the eyes OF State
is q public interest. The questions re-
latlng to 1t are submitted to the arbitra-
ton of public opinion; 1t takes the place
Of the sword in despotic countries, in
which the Iaborer exercises all the rights
given TO any class Of men. Under the gull
dance of such system the industrial pro-
ducts is the work of the political So
ciety by which it Is surrounded, rather
than OF individual. Its foundation Is
universal confidence and justice. One Of
the great difficulties in the restoration
OF industry in the South is the fact that
the laborer Is excluded from participa-
ton in its regulation. Successful in
dustry cannot be established upon such
q basis. The establishment of those i'm
mutable conditions, upon which indus
try depends, must be aided by the mer-
chants and manufacturers of the great
commercial cities, who desire its restora-
ton in the South. Accepting the fact
and adopting the policy that gives pro-
perty to other States, the South had an
unparalleled future before her. The gen.
eral government should hold out that
encouragement to labor-and the invest
ment of capital which will secure this
end. This cannot take place by Observ-
ing the customs of the past. New men
and new ideas must rise. Those who
waged q causeless war, cannot again
govern this continent. They cannot be
re-instated in their high places, for the
people, justice and liberty have ordained
that the moulding Of the future is for |
other and nobler agents.
The history of American industry
teaches us that the great want Of the
world is skilled labor protected by such
legislation as will secure industrial sue
cess and sound credit, and when this
shall have been accomplished and the ma
terial Industries Of the country ade-
quately and fully protected, we have
good reason to believe that we shall
have taken such an advanced position
that the laborer of whatever class or
color will have his just reward, and the
country, reunited and reconstructed,
will enter upon current Of prosperity
that will eventually make our nation
the pride and admiration of the civilized
world.

A COOP RgPLY.-A subscriber to the
Montpelier Freemen ordered his paper
stopped for the reason that he could get
the N. Y. Tribune or Boston Journal for
$3.50 per year, the regular price of the
Freeman being $500. Mr.. Willard pub
lished the note of the subscriber, with
the following comments, which we
heartily endorse as truthful and to the
point. They will hold good in the case
OF nearly all country weeklies
ave wonder, however, if it has ever
occurred to the very few persons who
stop State paper because its price is a
tritie more than the Journal or Tribune,
that no paper out of the State, however
able, can take the place OF one which
gives State news, is devoted to State in
terests, and is thoroughly conversant
with all State affairs. Four cents a
week may be an eXtravagant price to
pay for information relating to affairs in
ones own State, and those who think it
will, doubtless, deem it wise economy
to save the penny each week, and take
the Journal or Tribune.
But those who do this should not let
their economy stop here. 1t must beer
travagant folly for them to pay five, or
ten, or twenty dollars for the support of
preaching in their localities, when vol
ume of sermons can be bought for
dollar or q dollar and a half and can
be read at home every Sabbath, saving
both Sunday attire and Sunday expen-
ses.
There is no use in explaining to those
who prefer city weekly because it is
fifteen cents cheaper, why paper which
has hundred thousand subscribers can
be afforded cheaper than one with three
thousand, although the reason is tolera-
bly, obvious.

The Missouri SENAToRsHIP. Charles
d. Drake, who was elected on Wednes-
day to succeed B. Gratz Brown as United
States Senator from Missouri, is a
thorough Republican and one Of the
leading men Of that party in Missouri.
He took a leading part in the Constitu-
tional convention which adopted the
Constitution now in force in that State,
and was the author of the provision dis
franchising rebels and giving equal
civil rights to the negroes. Mr.. brakes
principal competitor in the Republican
party was Gov. Fletcher. If the Dem
ocrats and Conservatives had carried the
State last fall, as they intended, Mr..
Brown would have been succeeded by
General Frank P. Blair, who, though
one of the earliest movers for emancipa-
ton in Missouri, is now one of the prin-
cipal Conservative leaders.

TARIFF BILL.-The dispatches from
Washington, on Thursday, to the New
York papers reported that the Senate
Finance Committee would present the
tariff bill yesterday, 1t will be the en-
tire tariff bill, with clause repeating all
existing acts upon the subject. The
recommendations of Mr.. Wells upon
wool have been set aside and to a con-
siderable extent upon iron-but in most
other respects, his rates and classified
tions and free list have been adopted.
Although the facts and logic of Mr..
Wells are deemed incontrovertible, yet
it is believed large increase of the
tariff will be demanded and carried.
