Canada's Railway Connections.

The Province of Ontario is a sort of
wedge driven down into and across our
natural lines of communication be-
tween East and Northwest 1t is eX-
ceedingly convenient to make use of
the roads which cross this wedge, but
we have excellent roads which run
below its point and which would not
only carry our freight to and from the
Northwest easily, but would be able to
carry it just as cheaply. On the other
hand, the enormous protuberance of
the State of Maine, extending into the
heart of eastern Canada, geographically
speaking, makes it exceedingly con-
venient for them to be able to carry
their goods across our territory. They
have but one line of railroad to which
they can have recourse if they are sub
iected to American import duties, and
that is the Intercolonial, which makes an
immense circuit and uses up great deal
of time in getting either passengers or
freight from st. John or Halifax to
Montreal. The Canadians talk of short
ening this line, but they could not
shorten it enough to make much differ
ence. The Canadians are much more
dependent upon their trans-American
means of communication than we are
upon our trans Canadian lines, and
while there might actually be as great
loss, dollar for dollar, to American
corporations and individuals as to those
of Canada, the comparative loss would
be much greater to Canada than to the
United States. There is probably not
a Canadian railroad that would not suf-
fer by the retaliatory policy, unless it
is the Intercolonial, while of course
the change would never be felt at all by
the great majority of American roads,
hard as it would fall upon such lines as
the Central Vermont and the Michigan
Central. Canada would be very much
worse crippled than the United States
by such policy and has most reason
to dread it.-BoSton Transcript.

show whether or not an adequate duty
has protected the sheep and wool in
dustry. The few simple facts we have
published can be comprehended by any
one, and they must outweigh sea of
speculation and counsel that darkens
wisdom" To prove that two and two
make four-except when free-trader
is manipulating the fgures-it is not
necessary to investigate the "rule of
three" the problem of squaring the
circle, or any of the occult mysteries
of mathematical science. To show
whether an adequately protective tariff
has fostered sheep husbandry in the
nation at large, it is not necessary to
wade through tables of statistics relat-
ing to everything else except the sheep
and wool industry. The figures we
have given tell the whole story briefly,
intelligibly and conclusively.

Cleveland's lingo Message.

President Cleveland's recent message
was a bit of political buncombe, and
that view of it is steadily gaining
ground. 1t was inconsistent with his
former crminally Indifferent action,
and it was hypocritical, in that it calls
for power when he already has enough.
Senator Frye of Maine put the case
clearly and strongly when he said of
this lire-alarm message: 1.-The only
thing about this message that impresses
me favorably is the evidence it offers
that the president has recovered from
his temporary insanity, during which
he seemed willing to surrender all of
our rights to Canada, condone all the
wrong inflicted on our fishermen by her
and admit away all of our just claims.
But what this message has to do with
the fishery questiOn-what necessity
demands it, what lack of authority of
law justiiies i'll fail to see. For over
year the president has had ample au
thority to defend our fishermen and to
maintain the dignity of the republic.
He has done nothing, does nothing
now, only asks of congress further legis
lation, fear as an excuse for further
neglect. The fishermen, their friends,
their advocates in the senate, have
never suggested anything further than
action responsive to that of Canada.
The existing law is ample for this"
The New York Sun, which is the or
gan of the so-called united democracy,
sizes up Mr.. Cleveland's lingo message
in this significant way: "Only few
days ago the Erening Post described
President Cleveland as plain, simple,
honest man, doing his duty in Wash
ington and giving no heed to political
combinations or partisan campaigning.
But since the great retaliation message
this peculiar style of praise hasn't been
repeated. 1t seems funny to have the
man who set up that message and fired
it off in clear sky and a dull season
described as simple. Where was there
ever political combination or piece
of partisan campaigning that beat the
message?"
No one but those who will not see
are blind to the patent fact that Cleve-
lands message was the cheap trick of
politician, not the careful work of a
statesman. If he were a statesman he
would have considered the objecti Ons
the senate made to his disgraceful
treaty and promptly submitted new
and better one.

ton of all by giving. employment to labor
and producing wealth.
BY producing wealth " is meant
making an actual equivalent for the
money received. Such production is a
tangible benefit to the commonwealth,
embracing all grades of persons en-
ployed in any business. In direct con-
tact with his own employees, Andrew
Carnegie exercises real benevolence.
He has built cottages for them, which
he rents or sells on easy terms of pay
ment, exacting no instrument like the
Vermont farm mortgage, with its con-
slant cry, "Give, give" From these
dwellings for his workmen Mr.. Car
negie realizes no profit paid by them.
That he varies the wages of his help
is recognized by any one who knows
ANYTHING about the iron business as a
circumstance inherent in its nature.
1t is case of the price of the manu-
featured product governing the rate of
wages. Mr.. Carnegie adopts the sliding
scale, paying his men more when his
product sells at high price than when
it brings less. He did not sign the fixed
scale of the Amalgamated Association
of Iron-workers demanded some weeks
ago for definite period of time, for
the very reason that the question of
adequate protection of his business
against foreign manufacturers is at
issue. 1t is easy to see where the fault
lies and that it does not lie with an in
telligent, far-seeing business man who
refuses to put himself in position in
which he may have to do business at
a loss.

Senator Edmunds at Burlington.

My friends: We must all get up
early tomorrow for, as the girl said
about May-day, it will be for us the
happiest day of all the glad new year
have come up here from Washington
to vote tomorrow, not because l think
it necessary for success, but that | may
have part in what will before the end of
the present year prove the death-blow to
the democratic party. Our advices at
Washington are to the effect that the
election of Harrison and Morton is al
ready assured With reference to
Cleveland's latest message, | say that he
declines to do what it is his duty to do,
but asks for more power. He is like
some horses, either boiling or baking
all the time. will not speak longer at
this late hour, but will instead urge
upon every republican the need of
active, earnest work on the morrow.

Blaine on Trusts.

There is not one among all American
trusts that derives its being, owes its
organization or came up under the
patronage of the national government
Every one derives whatever sanction it
possesses from state governments, gen.
orally one state, but sometimes several.
The president, therefore, certainly
should have known when he arraigned
trusts in his message to congress that
congress could not dissolve them when
their charters were from state legisla-
lures or their organizations under state
law. 1t has been confessed by the
democratic house, by the ways and
means committee, Chairman Mills and
every man that stood as an advocate of
free-trade that trusts had no possible
legal connection with the tariff. The
presidents charge that trusts had their
origin in the protective tariff has not
foot of ground to stand upon and was
contradicted in every line of free-trade
experience quoted from England. Now
when all chance to investigate the al
legged bribery by which certain United
States senator connected with one of
our largest trusts was charged to have
obtained his seat is past and gone the
democratic papers can make loud
howl about trusts. Then was the dem
ocratic opportunity to get the true in
wardness of trusts. But they shrank
from the investigation of bribery and
both outside and inside the adninistra-
ton they determined to have no inves-
tigation. The zeal with which the
president started off to saddle the whole
of the unpopularity of trusts on the
protective tariff and upon the republic
can party seems not even to have been
heard of in congress. Did they pur-
posely intend to affront the president
by taking no notice of his suggestion,
or did the democratic members of the
ways and means committee and of the
house coolly accept the conclusion that
! neither the president nor the United

States, nor any private citizen of the
United States, could affect the exist
ence of trusts or cure the abuses thereof
by voice or vote in national campaign?
In the republican national platform,
upon which Harrison and Morton stand
before the people, there is a resolution
referring to trusts, in which there is a
wise discrimination made as to the
legislative power which shall control
them and cure the evils connected with
them. The republican party assigns
trusts to the power that can deal with
them; the president in his message re-
ferred them where he knew all efficient
action on the subject was impracticable
and impossible.

Washington COunty's Record.

Washington county gives Dillingham;
Abb votes, Shurtleff 2,l62, and Seeley
70, making Dillingham's plurality 1871
and his majority over all 1892. This
means the largest republican vote, the
largest republican plurality and the
largest republican majority ever given
in September election.
The following figures of the vote of
the county for governor in former presi-
Dental years show how the republicans

Andrew Carnegie.

This eminent iron manufacturer has
been mentioned at democratic gather
ings as capitalist hostile to the inter-
ests of labor. Such mention shows
ignorance of the man, of the methods
by which he became and is prosper
GUS manufacturer and of his mode of
dealing with his employees; or else
such charges made against him, espec-
tally by the labor agitator, reveal the
envious and vengeful spirit of conscious
inferiority. Mr.. Carnegie came to this
country from Great Britain as an iron
worker, gained competence by intel
ligent thrift and became a manufac-
turer in Pennsylvania in company with
his brother Robert. A gentleman fa-
miliar with the iron business and writ
ing from an iron-producing country,
says casually, without any reference to
the case cheap takers are trying TO
make out against the manufacturer:
at is credtabe to some Of the wealthy
men OF this age, like Andrew Carnegie
that they are thinking how to benefit the
wage-earners BY some means there must
be created kindly feeling between the la
borer and the employer, or, as he is termed
the capitalist. There is not a just discrim.
ination in this matter between the over.
grown wealth of the adventurer, who. has
amassed fortune by preying upon the com
munity, by cornering the products of the
soil, the necessares of life, and. the manu-
facturer who seeks to improve the condi

Whether or not Mr.. Shurtleff made
the statement attributed to him, the in
formation the above table conveys may
be interesting and instructive to our
farmer friends. These potatoes come
from Nova Scotia, Canada and largely
from Scotland. The ocean freight,
even from across the Atlantic, is so
small that the Scotch farmer, after pay
ing freight and duty, can compete sue
cessfully in New York and Boston with
the Washington county farmer.
Here is point to which Mr.. Shurt-
left, as railroad man, might we'll d.
rect his attention, if he is impelled by
so great desire for the welfare of the
farmers as he processes to have in his
appeals from the stump. What does it
cost Plainfield farmer to send ten
barrels, more or less, of potatoes to a
dealer or consumer in Boston, Spring
field, New Haven or New York? Isn't
the rate so high that the Scotch farmer,
5000 miles away, can beat the Ver-
mont farmer in American ports? If
Mr. Shurtleff could manage to bring the
farmers along the line of his railway as
near'to the lower New England mar
kets, in point of freight costs, as the
Scotch or Nova Scotian farmers, we
have no doubt that similar result
would directly follow on all Vermont
roads, and his title of governor !"
could not long remain matter of cour-
tesy. Give the Vermont farmer pro-
lection from low-priced foreign farm
labor and protection from eXtortinate
or unreasonable freight or passenger
charges at home, and we do not believe
that in the next ten years this country
will need to import nearly 10000 900
bushels of potatoes and send more than
$13, 800, 900 out of the country to pay
for them. Intelligent farmers say the
duty, to be protective, should be
twenty-five cents bushel instead of
fifteen cents. And yet Mr. Mills under
took to put the tubers on the free list,
and was only prevented by the vigilance
and persistence of a Vermont repre-
sentative in congress.

Views of an Old Democrat.

Apropos of an article recently pub
lished in the WATCHMAN on the rela-
ton of the confederacy to free-trade
and British favor, an intelligent cor
respondent, writing from Cloudland,
Mitchell county, n. c., says:
eff YOU had added to your article this
further thought the idea would have been
completes The British government and the
English manufacturer We're willing to pay a
high price for cotton If the South would fur
nsh them cheap supplies for their factory
hands and, in return, buy all their fabrics
from the old country. In other words,
Cotton should be king by the humiliation
of all American manufactures and their
transfer to Great Britain. America should
be the granary and England the workshop
of the world, and there should be no DIVERSE
fcation of industries in this country. While
it was true we had achieved our political
independence, yet the surrender of Lord
CORVALLIS at Yorktown was to be a partial
British victory by making us a commercial
dependency of the sea-girt isles and reduc-
ing us to industrial colonial vassalage.
This has been the selfish aim of the British
policy, and the shame is the Anglomaniacs

Mary's Little Lamb and
Free Wool.

Mary had little lamb,
Its fleece was white as snow
And built little tariff pen
To keep it safe, you know.
But Roger Mills he came along,
An ugly boy was he,
And smashed the little tariff pen
To let the lamb go free.
And in the night an English wolf,
AS silent as a clam,
Came prowling round the broken pen
And killed the little laIab.
Then Mary wept, but hopeful said,
"I'll have free WOOL at leastn'
And so you shall, said Roger Mills;
So said the ugly beast.
But when she went to get the fleece,
The wolf was sitting on it,
Come" said he, and get your wool;
I've fixed my price upon it,"
So Mary traded with the wolf,
And roundly did she pay;
For that dear fleece she fed the beast
A twelvemonth and day.

The announcement of a political meeting
never drew a larger, more intelligent or
more enthusiastic concourse of people 10
Montpelier than assembled here Thursday.
on the occasion Of the mass-meeting OF
Washington county republicans. Early IN
the day the work of decorating business
houses and private dwellings was spon-
taneously and as by one common impulse
begun, and by noon the town was in high
gala-day attire. Theincoming trains brought
large delegations from all directions headed
by bands of music, and private conveyances
swelled the number to about five thousand
by the time the speaking began. The
speakers stand had been erected on the
Pavilion lawn and was profusely and taste
fully decorated with the national colors.
On the stand were a large number of the
veterans of 1910. At two o'clock Chairman
Huse called the assemblage to order and
introduced Hon. A. L. Morrison. the cele-
brated Irish political leader in New York.
Mr.. Morrison held the close attention of the
audience for an hour. He discussed the
tariff issue with force and clearness, and
showed by the facts of history that since
England had proved herself in condition
TO compete with the industry of the world
she had employed power and intrigue to Sc
cure the free admission of her manufactures
into various countries, and that wherever
she had succeeded she had destroyed do
nestle industry. BY the terms of the par
liamentary union of Ireland with England

over trade regulations One by one the

can gain in the majority in the county
of 633 over that of 1884, of SOB over that
of 1880 and of $50 over that of 1876.
Moretown is the banner town in per-
centage of republican gains. Its vote
in 1876 was 90 republican and $50 dem
ocratic; now it is 132 republican and
02 democratic on the state and county
tickets. In 1880 the republicans were
in a minority of 30 and in 1884 in a
minority of "a; now the clear majority
for the republican state ticket is 3S.
Duxburv is almost neck-and-neck
with Moretown in the race for the
largest proportional gain.
A number of other towns are crowd
ing hard for first honors, but it is out
of the question TO particularize as fully
as the record merits. The rate of gain
here sustained throughout the state
would give Dillingham; exceeding 10000
majority. To what is this result at
tributable? Her citizens have exhibited
from the word go all the splendid
qualities for which Vermonters in
politics or war are renowned. Her
people have been on the alert. Time
and labor have not been spared. Local
organizations have worked up to the
last hour with unflagging zeal and
energy. The result approves the wis
dom of the counsels of the men of
Washington and the efficiency of their

THE annual exhibition of the state
fair association opens at Burlington
Tuesday next and continues till Fri
day, the 18th. These fairs, if rightly
conducted, should inure greatly to the
advantage of Vermont farmers. We
believe the managers have this object
steadily in view and have striven to
arrange their exhibition with special
reference to the improvement of the
agriculture of the state in its various
departments. The extent to which
they succeed in what should be the
primary object of the fair will depend
very much on the extent to which horse
racing is subordinated to tock-raising,
darying, cropping, etc. These are the
main reliance of Vermont farmers,
not the speed of fancy horses.

Potatoes, Tariff and Freights.

In his speech at Plainfield Saturday
evening Candidate Shurtleff is reported
as saying that not many potatoes were
imported, and therefore the tariff on
this product afforded but little benefit to
the farmer. The importations of po-
tatoes since 1880 are as follows:
