Senator Morrill, ON Reciprocity.

Senator Morrill, made the commercial
treaty with Mexico the subject of an
elaborate speech last week. The sena-
tor is opposed to reciprocity treaties, So
called. Such treaties, in his judgment,
have no possible basis of reciprocity
with nations of inferior population and
wealth. They involve the surrender
of enormously unequal sums of reve-
nue., immensely larger volumes of home
trade than are offered in return, and
they involve also constitutional ques-
tons of the gravest character. So they
should be regarded with disfavor.s Re-
ciprocity with Canada and the Sandwich
Islands has been shown by experience
to be injurious to commerce, and the
senator gave substantial reasons for
his opposition, on commercial grounds,
to the proposed treaty with Mexico
These 9reasons apply with nearly
equal force to the Spanish and other
commercial treaties. Senator Morrill's
discussion of the subject, especially in
its business aspects, is acute and COM
prehensive, and unless he can be shown
to be in the wrong, and if the good of
the country at large is to be considered,
the Mexican treaty, or any of its kind,
should not be ratified. Senator Morrill,
believes reciprocity treaties are uncon-
stitutional. To congress is given the
right to regulate commerce with foreign
nations, and to the house of representa-
tives the initiation of revenue bills.
The negotiation of reciprocity treaties,
affecting as they do both the foreign
commerce and the revenues of the ma
ton, he regards as an invasion of the
constitutional prerogatives of congress
by the executive, Notwithstanding the
consent of congress, or of the house of
representatives, is to be obtained to
the stipulated requirements of the
treaty. If the treaty were desirable in
its business aspects, it is hardly proba-
BILE that any objections on the score of
an invasion of the rights of congress by
the president in initiating the negotia-
tons would defeat its ratification. If
president should have the ability to
construct scheme of commercial in
tercourse with other nations, that
should promise substantial benefits to
this country, and should negotiate a
treaty to carry his project into effect,
submitting to the consent of congress
all requirements affecting the constitu-
tional rights of that body or either
house of that body, the country should
rather feel like sustaining an executive
with breadth of craftsmanship suffi-
cient for such a task, sufficient for

fully the plans of the new national or
ganization. President Buckham, who
has given much thought and time to
the duties of the office, still is the Yer
mont member of the executive commit
tee. And we may say here that several
other gentlemen in the state, of the
highest standing in political and bust
ness circles, are among its hearty sup
porters and generous contributors. 1t
is worthy of note that the very day, and
probably the very hour, when the league
was taking steps for national organi-
cation, at least four governors messages
were being read which presented the
subject of divorce reform to their legis-
lative bodies. Two of these were from
the governors of Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania.

THE distillers of Bourbon whiskey
have several times failed to obtain
from congress an extension of the
three years. limit for paying the tax on
the immense volume of whiskey now
in the bonded warehouses. The secre-
tary of the treasury, supported by an
opinion from the attorney-general, has
come to the relief of the distillers.
Heretofore the owners could take their
whiskey from the warehouses at the
expiration of the three years. period,
free of tax, on filing a declaration of
intention to export, and were given
thirty days in which to procure GER
tificate of expectation. The secretary
has arbitrarily extended this export
period to seven months, so that when
the tax becomes due and the distiller,
or whiskey-owner, declares his purpose
to export his goods, and complies with
the formal legal requirements, he OBJ
tains a seven months extension of the
time for the payment OF his taxes,
without mourning any penalty for fail
ure to carry out his alleged intention to
export. The declaration of intention
to export, with hardly an exception,
will be transparent fraud-a lie.
Taxes to the amount of several million
dollars are maturing each month. For
the next seven months there will be a
reduction of about twenty million dol
lars, from this source, in the govern
ment revenues. The practical effect
of the secretary's decision is seven
months loan by the government to the
whiskey-owners of immense sums of
money without interest.

A Middle.

AT the late session of the Legislature
Senator Chaplin introduced a short, SIM
pie and effective measure for repairing
the highways and bridges. The bill
abolished highway surveyors and pro-
vided for the payment of a highway tax
of fifteen per cent of the grand list in
money, to be expended by the select
men, or road commissioners in towns
which should choose these officials.
The bill passed the senate, but in
in the house it was so amended by the
craftsmanship that measures all legisla-
ton by the effect it will have on "my
town that is to say, upon an infuen-
tial taxpayer or two in town-that its
author refused to acknowledge the pa
ternity of the mongrel that reappeared
in the senate for the recognition of
that body. BY adopting an amendment
to the first section, providing that the
towns might vote to pay the highway
tax in labor, in which case it was to be
twenty per cent of the grand list, its
enemies believed they had fatally ham,
strung the bill. The senate, believing
there was much virtue left in the
measure, concurred in the house amend
ment. The hoe brigade =" in the
house, discovering that it had only
slightly famed the senate's bantling, en-
deavored to recover it from the senate
to complete it's ruin, but the perse-
cuted victim had found sanctuary in
the executive chamber and under the
governors signature. Under the pro-
visions of sections one and two of the
law (No. - of the published acts),
if towns do not elect street commits
sioners, the tax of fifteen cents in
money or twenty cents in labor is to be
collected by the collector oftown taxes,
and paid into the town treasury; but
the act does not say how tax payable
in labor shall be so collected and paid.
If street commissioners are elected they
seem to have no legal status, since the
laws defining their powers are repealed
by section nine of the new law. What
the act seems to have accomplished
clearly is the assessment of tax of fif-
teen per cent, payable in money, to be
expended by the selectmen. Section
two was framed with reference to a
money tax only, and when the labor
amendment was attached to section one
the other sections were not correspond
ingly amended. BY liberal construc-
ton of the law, having regard to what
was the purpose of the labor amend
ment, towns so voting will doubtless
find way to work out the tax assessed
by section one; but any additional tax,
under section three, is clearly payable
in money, to be expended under the di-
rection of the selectmen, or such officers
or agents as the town directs.

Education In the South.

"Rev. A. d. Mayo" says the Journal
Of Education, delivered his last lecture
on this subject at Jacob Sleeper Hall
After an account of the establishment
of the common school in various south
ern states since 1870, Mr.. Mayo
summed up the result of the last twenty
five years. work in the South for the
children. First, the South, this year,
will pay more than fifteen million dol
lars for education-a sum, in view of
her valuation, under present circum-
stances, not to be despised in COMPARE
son with the North. Within the past
three years the southern people them
selves have paid as much money for
education as the North and the Nation
have given to the South, for that pur-
pose, since 1860 Second, the free
school, in all its departments, for both
races and all classes, has been estab.
lished by law in every southern state.
In several, a country district school of
four or five, in all of two or three
months duration, is supported, and the
larger towns are rapidly establishing
graded schools of six to nine months
duration. Great numbers of young peo-
pie, especially women from the leading
white families, are teaching in common
schools, and many thousands of the SUI
perior colored youth are thus engaged
Third, the collegiate, academical and
professional schools, upset by the war

ments, on the whole, better than in
their original state. Two state uni.
versities admit girls, and the education
of women is largely on the increase
The chief defect in this side of south.
ern education is the lack of suitable
elementary preparation in their stu.
dents. The colored people, through
northern benevolence, are as well sup
piled in their higher education as the
whites. Fourth, a great revival OF
popular interest in education pervades
the whole South-in some parts with
most happy effect. No people is now
in better condition to receive truth in
educational affairs than the southern
people. The North and the nation owe
certain duties to the South in this re-

with money to meet the peculiar perils
of the illiterate lower classes, both by
national aid and Christian and private
benevolence. A vast system of train.
ing their young people for teachers is
needed, in which the best northern
school men and women should cooper
ate. And, above all, the South needs
friendship, encouragement, and hearty
aid from all people in the North, to
overcome its peculiar difficulties and
enable it to assume its true place in
our new national life"

GENERAL HAwLEY's resolution call
ing for a copy of the documents relating
to the controversy between General
Sherman and Jefferson Davis occa-
stoned a lively debate in the senate last
Monday. Northern and Southern SEN
ators, by the ierceness and bitterness
oftheir speech, recalled the hottest days
of the old controversy. Senator Sher-
man made the speech of the occasion.
The denial that Davis was traitor drew
from the Buckeye veteran the exclama-
ton: Great God! will it ever be dis
puted in this country of ours at any
time within thousand years, that, in
the war and before the war, Jefferson
Davis was conspirator and traitor
to his country? Never, trust!"

The Worth of Newspapers.

Certain false ideas prevail, among
some people, in regard to the compare
tive worth of newspapers. They either
estimate the value of papers by the
square foot, or anything that looks like
a newspaper is newspaper-quantity
and quality of reading matter, local
news, general intelligence, editorial ar
ticles, public discussions, trustworthi-
ness, being left out of the account.
This way of estimating a newspaper is
the outgrowth, to some extent, of
equally false notions of economy, such
as prevail sometimes in the manage
mentor mismanagement-of schools
and other affairs which do not yield
tangible returns like bank stock, we'll
kept cattle, or judiciously cultivated
land. All is not gold that glitters.
Every sheet of printed paper is not a
newspaper. No person buys farm
without regard to the quality of the
soil. All is not good farming land that
is fenced in and called farm. Area is
not the sole criterion of value. OF two
farms having an equal area the wise
buyer takes the one having the better
soil, in the better state of cultivation,
even though there is very material
difference in the price. But many per-
sons who can tell the difference be-
tween brass and gold on very slight in
spection, who would make no mistake
in choosing between poor and good
farm, or in buying horse because the
thing had four legs and looked like a
horse, seem to choose their newspaper
with sole reference to appearances or to
area and price; buy for newspaper any
thing so marked and that looks like a
newspaper. This lack of discrimination
has assisted in filling the country with
cheap newspapers, which have bolstered
up their claim to support by appeals to
local pride and by pointing to the fact
that they are printing as large an area
of white paper as other journals, which
are weekly putting more labor and ex.
pense into single issue than these
mushrooms put into dozen or more
That competition is the life of business
is true with certain limitations; but com
petition may be the death of business
The publishing business has been sub
jected in Vermont to this ruinous kline
of competition. More papers have beer
started than there is natural demand
for, and more than sustain a prosperous
existence, even with the "patent in
side " device to help them out. They
lack the ability, as general thing, t.
publish even the local news satisfac
torily. In some instances this is done
more successfully by papers at dis
lance, with larger and better equip
ment. Enterprising printing houses
with ample capital, mechanical equip
ment and editorial assistance, publish
ing papers at business or political cen
tiers, can, ii stands to reason, far NOR,
successfully supply the local wants o
the communities around them, and a
