The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1884-12-10
@attbmam 4 SuurmaI.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1884.
FROM the AGGREGATES of polls. prop-

FROM the aggregates of polls, prop
erty, taxes, ETC., as assessed May l.,
1884, just published, we find that the
increase of real estate in Massachusetts,
in 1883 was $32, 341 ,415. The table
published in Mr.. Winn's communica-
ton, last week, gave the increase as far
as in 1882. The increase the year be-
fore the exemption law passed was
three and one-half per cent; it fell to
three and one-twelfth per cent two
years after, and to less than two and
three-fourths per cent in the last year.
Not much can be inferred in favor of
the law from an increase in real estate.
We publish these figures for the bene-
fit of the Free Press, to enable it, in
the canvass of this subject before the
next legislature, to show that this in
crease in real estate is " directly due to
the law abolishing double taxation" In
the same connection, 1t may be inter-
esting for our contemporary to learn
that while many millions of mortgages
dropped out after the passage of the
exemption law, unsecured loans, con-
tinuing taxed, rose from thirty-seven
millions in 1880 to fifty millions in
1888, and money from nineteen millions
to twenty-four millions. The re-
formers" in Massachusetts,, having Sc
cured the exemption of mortgages, are
moving to exempt all credit property,
the logical result of exempting one
class. SO will it be in Vermont if this
reform " gets foothold here, till the
work of the law of 1880 in dragging
personal property to light will be I'M
done and exemption will cut down tie
present appraisal of forty-six millif MS
to lower figure than before the opera
ton of the act to equalize tc Xation
raised it from fifteen millions. Massa-
chusetts reformers, instead Of the law
of 1881, would have served that state
more effectively by securing the adop-
ton of the Vermont system, had they
the real welfare of the people at heart.
Vermont is on the right track. Let
her hold to it.

The Douglass Bill.

The following is the full text of the
amended and perfected bill which was
before the legislature at its late session
to divide between the mortgageor and
mortgage the taxes on mortgaged real
estate. We republish the bill in order
that the readers of THE WATCHMAN
may know exactly what kind of law it
was proposed to enact, and from how
great folly the state was delivered.
The provisions of this measure will also
be reviewed with interest in connection
with Mr.. Winn's statement of the de-
coys employed to secure votes for the
law of 1881, in the Massachusetts, legis-
lature, how the mask was dropped
by the money-lenders when their end
was gained, and his showing of the ex-
perience of other states, in attempting

A Usury Clause to Secure Exemption
OF MOrtgaged Land.

Mr.. Editor:-If / understand your pro-
posed law to exempt borrowers on mort
gage, the substance of it is that the bor-
rover shall be exempted on his land on
condition that his creditor shall be taxed TO
an extent equal to the exemption; and, if
the creditor is nonresident, the debtor
shall pay the tax and deduct it from the
debt. Since in all cases under such law
covenants are exacted from the debtor COM
polling him to pay all the lenders taxes, it
is proposed to remedy this by declaring such
covenants usurious. A similar proposal has
attended the scheme in other states. To
make il seem that the borrower is to be ben

Vermont will never deliberately throw
overheard the man who has shed inn
perishable luster upon the state and
rendered incalculable service to the ma
ton. The "pole stars - long and bril-
liant regnancy would be imperilled by
such an act Of folly. Such a course
would be, if not political suicide, d.
viding of the republican house against
itself. Whatever may have been Sena-
tor Edmunds' reasons for his relative
inactivity in the recent canvass, no man
shall say or intimate that they are not
in the highest degree honorable to him,
whether they relate to considerations
of impaired physical strength, to spirits
saddened by domestic affection, or to a
stern adherence to the righteousness of
personal judgment too publicly de-
clared and too often reaffirmed to be
reconsidered, if indeed he were dis
posed for political reasons to reverse
matured and Acknowledgement con-
victions. Any, or all of these reasons
combined, would fully justify the sena-
tors course; and if justification should
rest solely upon the last, who shall say
that the historian, writing of the men
identified with the late national canvass,
will not record of Senator Edmunds,
grimly refusing to eat his own words to
satisfy the entreaties of his personal
and political friends, "This was the
noblest Roman of them all. y
This was man."

Plain Talk.

Mr.. Editor:-I quite agree with your esti-
mate of the work done, and left undone, at
the late session Of the general assembly.
The outcome, taken as a whole, is substan-
tial failure to meet the obvious require
ments of the times. No legislation of any
general public interest or utility, except the
passage of appropriation bills, was accom-
plished; though 1t must be admitted that
bills of this character We're numerous and
liberal. A few members, both of the senate
and house, evinced sufficient breadth and
grasp TO comprehend the urgent needs of

CONFEDERATE TREASURE FoUND.-Wi-
kes county, Ga, is in great excitement over
the discovery of large quantity of Conied-
crate treasure. During a storm few days
ago small oak tree was blown down about
nine miles from Washington. Mr. John
Frank, while riding by, saw something shl-
ming, and examined the roots OF the tree,
In the hole left by the tree he found almost
a peck of gold and large quantity OF jew
els and precious stones. Among the latter
were diamonds, rubies and pearls, and many
pieces of exquisite workmanship, the value
of which has been placed by several con
noisseurs at $4,000 The belief expressed
bv all who have seen the treasure Is that 1t
is a part of the lot lost by the Confederate
Cabinet during its flight through this sec
ton, as the road upon which this treasure
was found IS the same upon which the Con-
federates retreated. 1t is supposed that the
person who secured this part OF the treasure
being unable to carry it OFT in safety, hid II
for security, and either died a natural death
or was killed soon after, and that cons"
uueutlv the treasure was never unearthed
The great quantity Of jewels and precious
stones pawned by ladies of the Coniederacy
for the benefit Of the cause suggests that II
must have been the contents OF the myster
ious iewelrv box entrusted TO Mrs. Moss
and taken from her shortly afterwards by 81
stranger while retreating through the coun-
