1t is singular how much better inform
ed are Senator Edmunds's newspaper
critics in Vermont as to what it was pos
sible to do for the oleOmargarine bill in
the senate than were the senators and
representatives who were fighting to save
the bill from utter shipwreck, and to es-
tablish a foothOd for future legislation.
We have quoted Representative GrOut on
this point. Here is what Senator Warner
Miller of New York says while
worked to secure a five cent tax, the rate
was not the important feature of the bill.
The evil sought to be cured was the prac-
tee of putting on the market under the
guise and in the name of butter variety
of fraudulent limitations. The machinery
devised to prevent this is retained in all
its vigor in the bill As it became Il law
| This is the opinion of the senator to whom
our contemporaries delight to impute the
honor of securing the passage OF the bill
in the senate. Senator EdmundS also con
tended for the five cent tax, but regarded
a live law with two cent tax and the
branding of bogus butter with its true
name as better than a dead bill.
1t might be added that Mr. Edmunds
was III favor of an effort in open senate to
reverse the two-cent amendment, and to
raise the tax to four cents but was dis
suaded by other friends of the bill, who
believed it could be managed better in the
conference committee.
