The fact is, as ! claim, that ii is not

are the consumers of goods imported

derived. A great majority of the goods
imported into this country, which are
necessaries OF life and which enter into
consumption by the laboring classes,
are now upon the free list, and it is
here that the Republican party in its
wisdom has legislated to protect this
class of our people in their labor and

business-like determination as no man
could disregard. On the stage, in the
drama or in music, the true artist does
not too willingly answer to the encore.
The response comes when the sincerity
and appreciation of the audience has been
made apparent by the fervor and per-
sistency of its summons. So If the peo-
pie of Vermont desire Mr.. Billings for
governor, let them disregard his scruples,
and resolutely demand his appearance be-
fore the foot-lights of the political stage
He will come. But for the accomplish.
ment of all these desirable ends, there
must be convention that is animated by
the sturdy spirit of old Ethan, when he
demanded the surrender of Ticonderoga.
To get convention composed of the
right material, the voters must attend the
caucuses. For delegates, they must see to
it that men of sense, men of integrity
men who will deliberate, men who will
act for the general welfare, are chosen
Independence in politics must be more
than sentiment. 1t must be put into
votes, and the caucus for the nominating
convention is the point where the votes
must first be polled.

the generations which have arisen since
the surrender at Apromattox, is a ma
tional school day. The elements OF ma
tional strength are learned, the develop
ment and growth of the principles upon
which the government is founded are
traced, and by all the pupils, if they do
not follow the speakers through all the
windipgs of their teachings, the lesson of
patriotism is conned and patriotic senti-
ments inspired. Memorial day is a
nursery of peace, of peace preserved by
the conscious knowledge of their rights
by great intelligent people, with the
ability and the readiness to maintain
those rights. Such observances strengthen
the national character inversely as the
noisy belligerency of the old-time Fourth
of July celebration developed type of
character which, with many sturdy ele'
ments, was weakened and marred by
qualities which were a source of grief to
the judicious patriot and the butt of ridi-
Guile by foreigners. As day of national
grace the day of the commemoration of
the salvation of the nation far out-ranks
its much abused, but exceedingly pat
riotic and very glorious, senior. Keep up
Memorial day. The more numerous the
graves become, year by year, the more
bountiful be the floral offerings, the more
reverent and the more fervent the com
memorative service.

The moderation, wisdom, and quiet dignity Of
President Arthur's administration have done
much for the improvement and consolidation
Of his party BY refusing to use the power OF
his great office in the interest OF factions, he
has promoted harmony in the party ranks.
His administration has been wise, conservative,
and safe, and conducted in accordance with
true craftsmanship Under his administration,
great progress has been made In the improve
ment Of the civl-servlce. The great body Of
the people Of this country are neither office
holders nor office-seekers. What they want Is
an honest administration Of the affairs of the
government. The business men of New York
know little of the arts of professional polti-
clans, but they know what good government Is,
and what to do to preserve IL for themselves
and their children. They approve the general
course OF President Arthur's administration.
and believe his reelection would be for the
best interests of the country. They say, let
well enough alone"
The impudent McVeagh letter was dis
missed in the following dignified and
effective manner:

VERMONT trusts in Mr.. Arthur. After
Mr.. Edmunds, he would unquestiona-
bly, be her choice for the next president.
The resolutions of the state convention
were sincere and hearty in their express
sions of appreciation, and their adoption
by the delegates was clearly no perfume
tory act. Past experience has given him
present wisdom and taught him sa-
gacious foresight He has shown that a
keen sense of public duty controls his
actions. Independence and resolution
have been shown in his vetoes. His prac-
tical good sense and aptitude in discern
ing and guarding against obstacles have
saved the cause of civil-service reform
from wreck in the work of applying it to
the public service. Business men under
stand the value of having at the helm of
the ship of state the self-relisnt man who
has learned business principles in lifelong
and arduous experience. And republi-
cans generally, including men who have
been only too prone to criticise, regard
with generous enthusiasm the man who
hath borne himself so clear in his great
office" that the party, disorganized by
personal chickering's and apparently crushed
by assassination, is again " strengthened
and united on the eve of another presi-
Dental victory" Such man is es-
pecially deserving at this time of grateful
mention and respectful consideration.

LIKE opposing forces that have ex-
hausted their efforts to out-maneuver
each other and gain points of advantage
from which to deliver battle, the Arthur
ranks, the Blaine ranks, the Edmunds
contingent and the dark horse smbushers,
are mastering at Chicago. Speculation
as to the result has held the even tenor of
its way during the past week, with no in
dications as to what may be the issue of
the rivalry for the republican leadership
in the approaching canvass. The status
quo of the candidates seems to have been
maintained. Vermont's most active in
terest converges of course around Ed
munds, and Edmunds' prospects gather
their hues from the attitude of the two
chief contestants. If the allegiance of
their followers is held by less rigid grasp
than that which four years ago for days
kept the opposing chieftains defantly
face to face, and the Edmunds managers
are able to keep their men compactly in
hand, and to nurse their champion 3
strength and increase it from ballot to
ballot till some large mass shall swing off
from the deadlocked forces, and thus invite
the fateful break to their standards, then
the ambition of Vermont may be filed to
the brim. If, however, the followers of
the chief contestants become set and rigid
in their purpose, the outcome of four
years ago must be the solution of the
question of leadership. In that event it
may be Gresham, or Harrison, or Lincoln
or General Sherman-unless the old hero
issues an iron-clad prohibition--or some
one of score of names that might be
mentioned. Time will soon tell the tale

two years. In addition to this, he would
have the whole internal revenue army
running him down and ferreting him
out. If prohibition is ever to prohibit,
1t is clear that the federal authorities must
sustain the states in the enforcement of
their laws, rather than connive at their
violation.

made characteristic speech. We give
the following racy extract: "a most ex-

AND now the public eye is on the Office
of the state treasurer. 1t seems to be
taken for granted that Mr.. Dubois is a
candidate for denomination, and some of
the newspapers, or their correspondents,
are canvassing the matter adversely to
his candidature. The misfortunes of the
depositors of the ST. Adams Trust Com
pany, among other things, are laid to dere-
LECTION of duty on his part when he was
inspector of finance. In Franklin county,
in particular, it is reported that the oppo-
sition is very bitter, and as a matter of
morals and of sympathy it is undeniable
that there is spirit of opposition in
other parts of the state. The treasurer's
unfortunate connection with the Vermont
Accident Association is also brought up
at this time to cloud his chances before
the convention. MIR. Dubois, 80 far as
we are able to judge, has very efficiently
performed the duties of treasurer. 1t is
his first term in that office. We have
heard no complaints against him except
those we have mentioned, and those relate
to his administration of another Office and
his connection with an insurance company
which is in bad odor in the state. In the
present temper of the public mind, it
must be admitted that these things can
hardly be expected to help candidate for
office, and they may seriously embarrass
Mr.. Dubois canvass, if he desires a re.
nomination.
