Is THERE NO DANGER

There is tridin9 distinction between
the United States and Great Britain. The
one is republic, the other "a monarchy.
The one is government Of limited powers,
the other centralized government. In
the one certain powers are reserved to the
several states, in the other there are no
states or reserved powers. In the United
States, the people are the source of all
power, have conferred upon the general
government all the power, it possesses, and
can lessen or increase these powers at
their own good pleasure. In Great Britain.
all the power possessed by the people has
been obtained by grants or concession from
the crown. Why speak of these truisms
that every school boy understands /? We
wish most heartily that not only every
school boy, but every statesman, politician

SAVINGS ifNN1,S.

Savings banks have long been an nstitu-
ton in Vermont They have been pru-
IDENTITY and economically managed. Organ
lied, established and managed for the ben
eft of the laboring classes, they have af-
fOrdcd the means lor the accumulation of
large sums Of money which would, other
wise, have been ioolishly expended prob
ably squandered Many laboring man
has been enabled thereby to make,a accu-
mutation sufficient to buy a house or small
farm, or, at least, to make the first pay
ment thereon, amounting, in many cases,
to a considerable sum Habits of saving
have, also. been cngcndcrcd thereby. so
that in these cases no difficulty has been
experienced in meeting Che future pay
menis. So, too, many Il laboring girl has
saved money sufficient to purchase an ont
fit, at marriage, and with her savings fur
n!shed the house which her laboring hus-
band has purchased with his savings The
amount OF these savings may be illustrated
by the report of the Rutland Savings Bank,
July 1st, 1872 Up to that date, there had
be,'" six thousand four hundred ond o'--'.
nine depostOrs, who had deposited some
thing over one million seven hundred and
siXty-nine thousand dollars. Upon this
amount five per cent interest has been paid
annually, while at stated periods, extra
dividends have been paid, making the aver
age interest something like seven per cent
The larger amounts of these deposits have
been made in small sums, ranging from one
dollar upwards. 1t may be true that CAPT
talsts have occasionally deposited large
sums therein, as an Investment, but these
have, as we understand, been discouraged,
so that the larger proportion represents the
deposits of the laboring classes of both
sexes
We have referred to the Rutland Savings
Bank, because it is home institution,
patronzed by our own people, all are
familiar with its successful management,
and the vast benefit it has been to the com
munity We select it on this account to
illustrate our argument 1t does not, how
ever, stand alone. The state is dotted

she Cost OF Our Army.

The United States has a standing army
on paper, Of 81, 55l men. The Lieutenant
General, in his last report, puts the effect
i've number at less than 10000. To main
tain this army it costs about $4,000, 900,
or between 81 200 and 81 300 for each in
diyidual in it. The military establishment
proper costs about S3j. 900. 900. or about
81, 100 a man. Englands army. which is
scattered all over the world, numbers 1885,
96S men, and costs $40 900, 900, including
pensions. But England is an 'eflete mon
archy,' you know, and she cannot afford
to treat her soldiers as we do. We give
them 81 month, and they cost us 81, 100
a year. Engllnd's army costs more in
proportion than that of any other European
country, but in comparison to ours it is
very cheap-four times as many men for
twice the money. The pay of our army
is only half as much rs that of the English
army, but our Quartcrmaster's Department
calls for Sl5,000,000, while that of
England gets along with 100000
600, and our subsistence costs
Just about the same a. Eng
lands for four times as larLc an army.
Our pension list is separate matter. and
amounts to $50, 600. 600 Il year. That of
England is reckonel in with the army eX-
penscs, and it amounts to 81 200, 600. We
have IA military school, supported mt an
actual cost of $3.50, 900 England has five.
equally efficient so far rs we know, which
cost 100000 each. The transportation
item in our army estimate is ~, 500, 900.

VERMONT REVOLUTIONARY PEN

1t is somewhat strange that Vermont,
