The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1884-03-05

York are beginning to find out that their
opposition will amount to little unless it
is organized upon something more sub
stantial and inspiring than mere negation.
They must have candidate and posi-
tive purpose. Probably If Blaine was re-
garded as possibility, q considerable
part of the anti-Arthur forces would unite
on him. But In spite of many good words
here and there, which the Tribune has
keen eyes to see and ears to hear and wide
columns in which to quote, it is generally
admitted that an open organized move
ment for Blaine would be disastrous, and
that his only chance is in quiet, awaiting
the developments of the canvass and seiz-
ing the opportunities of the convention.
But inside the state, among the voters,
the voice for Edmunds is beginning to be
heard. 1t has reached Washington, and
its echo is heard from the lips of men,
bers of congress who are mindful of the
wishes of the people. II New York, for
whose decision the country is waiting
with some interest, puts forward Ed
munds, the Vermont statesman will have
to be careful or he will be nominated in
spite of himself"
THE Caledonian, in an editorial entitled
Billings is the Man." discusses the gov
ernor question and closes with The fol-
lowing vigorous paragraph: "But an
other fact must be considered. The PEG.
pie want a candidate of their own this
year. They are fast coming to the de-
cision that if there is political ring
among the Green Mountains, it must go
down. Feeling in this way, they will not
"enthuse worth cent over ring can
date, should one be named. DR.. Nichols
may not be in the ring. but appearances
point decidedly in that direction. He
was brought out by the organ of the ring,
presumably on his own authority, and he
is being pushed by newspapers not likely
to be uuacquainted with whatever ring
there is. At any rate, word has gone out
that DR.. Nichols has the "insde sup.
port" Now it is no use smoothing over
matters. The farmers are getting mad.
And it is high time they did. Under
such circumstances why not turn to man
whose influence the ring would dread and
oppose, whose abilities are so much greater
that he could not be considered rival, a
man who is wanted by the people, and
who would honor the state as her chief
ruler Such a man is Frederick Billings
for whom as strong a sentiment has APP
peared as is ever found in this easy-going
one-sided state. Let the plain, everyday
voters sit down this year-and sit down
hard"

SPEAKING of the meeting of the Yer.

SPEAKING of the meeting of the Yer
mont republican state committee to fix
the time and place of the convention for
choosing delegates to Chicago, the Boston
Journal says There is considerable feel

the same time, and thus obviating the
necessity of another convention in June"
The Journal is the foreign organ of the
Vermont political machine. The "con-

state nominating conventions four months
before election does not seem to swell in
any bosom whose heavings are not me.

four years ago sought to force presiden.
tial nomination. The question who shall
be the republican candidate for governor
can profitably be kept open for discussion,
and the longer the better. No worthy
candidacy will be injured by delay. Yer

recreation; and they will not begrudge
the time and expense of summer pill

lions, and ask you to be our governor"
what then p" In this connection the
Herald prints an extract from the letter
of Judge Barrett, which drew from Mr..
Billings the reply already published. The
extract is as follows "a principal citi-
zen of Rutland, hailed me some
two days ago, expressing vigorous wish
that you might be the next governor of
Vermont, and asking my views. l re-
sponded by the expression of an equally
vigorous wish. The free, spontaneous SEN

date. / am unable to answer. If you
think it proper or expedient to enable me
to make answer, you can confde in my
faithfulness to you" The sentiment in
favor of Mr.. Billings which was so rapidly
developing when his letter was published,
was temporarily checked. Here and there
paper or an individual resolutely kept
up the call for him. His letter was re-
garded by them as candid and manly
statement of his position, setting forth
of the extreme objections to his candidacy
from his own point of view, and the ex-
preston of that which-with his capacity
and experience aud other high qualities
made him the popular candidate, the fact
that he did not seek the Office and would
not make an effort to obtain it. Here
was the basis of perfectly frank under
standing with the people. The man
whom it was proposed to make candidate
for the governorship had himself stretched
to their utmost tension the reasons why
he ought not to be governor. If now, as
our contemporary forcibly puts it, Yer
mont having weighed them, says, We
Waive I'LL tuO WI JCuiOuo ohu ooh Jou w w
our governor" what then There is a
perfectly frank and square understanding
between people and candidate at the out
set, and the sincerity of the desire of the
people to serve the best interests of the
state by making this man governor, will
be attested by the persistency of their eff
forts. People seem to have thought the
matter over and, having weighed the OBJ
jections the candidate had made against
himself, not only show disposition to
waive them, but the public appreciation
of his fitness for the Office has been greatly
quickened. There is now apparent among
the people in every quarter of the state, a
growing inclination to ask him to be our
next governor. His candidacy to-day is
head and shoulders above that of any
other and it is the only one for which
there is any real enthusiasm or spon-
| taneity.

VermOnt's Condition.

Under this heading contemporary re-
Gently published some figures from the
last census which, it claimed, disproved
the unfavorable statements individuals
and some of the papers were making
about the states prosperity. No person
should have any partisan motive for try
ing to write up'or to write down the
state, but every patriotic citizen, loving
Vermont and anxious for her welfare,
will prefer to know the unperverted facts,
and to take counsel of the real situation.
There can be neither wisdom nor Justice
in depreciating the condition of the state
in respect of any of her interests nor
should her people be deluded by par
tial or incorrect statistics or by rose-tinted
harangues into the belief that all is well
in the Green Mountain state; that her
true policy should be to "let we'll enough
Alone" to keep along in the track she has
been following, content to be the wet
nurse of Western states, making no
troublesome effort to disturb the time
honored status quo of depicting emigra-
ton and steeling herself afresh to hear,
without resentment, from every nincom-
poops lips the legacy of irony bequeathed
by the man who learned from experience
that " Vermont is good state to emigrste
from" There is absolute and there is
relative progress. If state, with re-
sources and capacity for progress, barely
holds her own in ten-years' run, while
other states have been shooting ahead,
there has been neither absolute nor rela-
tive progress. Relatively, if not abso-
lutely, there has been retrogression. So
far as the figures of the census show, the
fact that Vermont has, AS a whole, made
absolute progress is not clear, while it is
painfully evident that, relatively, she has
lost in population and wealth. The GEN.
sus shows a nominal gain of one thousand
seven hundred and thirty.fve in ten
years, and contemporary thinks this is
"a small gain, but still better than loss"
The "gain hardly allows sufficient mar
gin for errors in the enumeration of the
population of single city of ten thou
sand people, and when applied to state
it is much too shadowy for even very mild
fluctuations. The details of the census
show that out of the two hundred and
forty towns in the state, one hundred and
forty have lost in population, and many
others have barely held an even beam in
the ten years. struggle; aud these are, for
the most part, the farming towns. OF
Addison county's twenty-three towns, ten
have lost; of Bennington's seventeen,
nine; of Caledonia's seventeen, eight of
Chittenden's sixteen, fourteen; of Frank.
Inns fourteen, eight; of Oranges seven
teen, ten Of Orleans nineteen, nine of
Rutland's twenty-five, fourteen; of Wash
ington's nineteen, thirteen; of Wind
hams twenty-three, seventeen of Wind.
sor's twenty-four, nineteen. The railway
and manufacturing towns have gained
enough barely TO offset these losses. Aud
this is the record which the tenth census
makes for Vermont against the substantial

WE print in another column the results,
30 far as ascertained, of the first years
operation of the corporation tax law. Its
success can hardly be otherwise than a
matter of congratulation. Few laws, we
venture to say, have been framed on such
meager information as the ways and
means committee had before it, which
have so nearly realized the expectations
OF friends. An unfortunate slip in the
phraseology of single section has relieved
the railways of something more than
$4,000 in taxes it was intended to lay
upon them. The intention of the trainers
with respect to these corporations was,
apparently, more equitable than the sta
tute as enacted. That the many millions
of capital invested in the railways should
pay smaller tax than the few millions of
savings of laborers, orphans and widows,
entrusted to the savings institutions, does
not appear to be just or proportionate.
There is also reason to believe that the
trust companies, compared with the
savings banks, are taxed disproportion-
ately high. The express and telegraph com
panies seem disproportionately low. These
and other things developed by experience
will be matters for remedial legislation.
The hullabaloo about deficit of 100000
to be made up by per capita tax is not sus-
tanned by the returns or by the state treas
urer's showing. Mr.. Dubois estimates the
deficit for the biennial term at $4,000.
This estimate is sustained by figures
which are definitely ascertained and by
estimates for the future, based upon
expenses and income of corresponding
periods in the past. The figures are not
given out as positively reliable; they are
subject to such variation as any expenses
which cannot be anticipated or ascer.
tanned definitely, may make. There is
however, reasonable assurance, the treas
urer thinks, that the deficit will not vary
materially from the amount given.

1t knows better than to say that "THE

may impose upon its readers by such dis
honest tricks, but no reader of THE
WATcHMAN can be fooled by them. If
it is anxious to see its original statement
in print again, we will accommodate it.

to retire from that, matter of course

Now our contemporary must not go
"sloshing round" saying that it said this
thing, meaning that thing and the other
thing. This is just what it did say, and
its words are susceptible of only one in
depreciation. 1t has been forced into its
dull comprehension that THE WATCHMAN
used it as authority for the statement that
DIR. Nichols would not be candidate for
reelection to his present office. With
childish glee it cites this to show that
The WATcHMAN understood its remark

If there is any possible identity between
statement that man would not be a
candidate for reelection, and that this
man had definitely decided to retire
from office, matter of course wholly
within his own discretion to determine, -
we confess ourselves too dull to see it.

the comparisons made above show, but
whether, If all the elements which enter
into the problem could be gathered up
and balance struck, any substantial
gain would be shown, such as would JUS
tify can encouraging view of the sit
uation," is not entirely clear either
from the census tables or from the
testimony Of intelligent and we'll in.
formed observers. On the other hand,
it seems to be reasonably plain that the
state has not done so we'll, but that with q
clearly defined and liberal policy of state
encouragement, persistently adhered to
and judiciously and energetically admin
istered, she might have done very much
better. The statistics Of manufactures
show that in 1870 Vermont had an aver
age of 1886 hands employed; in 1880,
1880 With nearly three million dollars
more capital invested in 1880, the value
of products was towards million dollars
less than in 1870. New Hampshire shows
a gain in ten years of eight thousand in
the number of hands employed and nearly
three million dollars in the value Of pro-
ducts. With here and there an exception,
like Nevada, western mining camp, or a
southern state, like Mississippi, the states
of the Union have made more or less
marked gains in manufactures. Here are
the main facts, as shown by the census,
about Vermont's condition, absolute and
relative. 1t is not the best way to help
the interests of the state to ignore them,
or to gloss them over, or to pervert them
1t is wise for the people to consider them
and to remember them at the caucus, the
convention and the ballot box.
