point where any irregularity has pre-.
vailed was Chicago, and the unsettled

confined to a single day. The fnah-

capital-may be had at cheap rates Of

mains at 6 per cent on all choice mer-

VermOnt's Example.

Portland argus: "With reference to
methods of taxation, Governor Robbie in his
inaugural approvingly refers to the exam
pie of Vermont. We take the liberty also
to refer to that state to point out the differ
ence between Vermont economy and Maine
economy. Vermont is New England state
like Maine. 1t has been under republican
control like Maine, and it has no natural
advantages superior to ours, that we recall.
On the contrary the balance in this respect
would appear to be decidedly in our favor.
1t has almost precisely half the population
of our state; it has no debt-its war debt
is all paid; it has $146, 100000 of valuation
to $235 100000 in Maine, or sixty-one mil
