So long rs Judge Thurman was content to
wear the picturesque costume of the rugged
old Roman" and silently to pose on the po-
litcal stage as the modest of them all,' he
was an interesting figure. But now that he
puts away the old red bandanna and sticks on
a plug hat and goes out making demagogic
speeches about a protective tariff being ruinous
to workingmen, when the whole world knows
that it has given them from two to five times
the wages paid in frec-trade country, then he
ceases to be picturesque and becomes common
place and Improbable Thurmans place in
this campaign should be that of the silent but
contemplative philosopher. He should not
spoil the impression his attitudes and ancient
garb produce by making cheap speeches.

free-trade. Wecould have passed such
law and held it tight on you till it closed
the furnaces, workshops wooden and cot
ton mills, and steel and bar-iron works of
the whole North and West, and scattered
your workmen over the prairies and terri
tories. When the war was ready for you,
you would not have been ready for the war.
You could not have armed and equipped
and put in the field a large army, nor built
a large navy. You would have been with
out supplies, machinery and workmen, and
you would have been without money and
credit"
That it is the determination of the
democratic party, as at present organ
lied in the executive and legislative
departments of the. government, to in
flict upon the country the most fatal
results that could flow from sliding
scale of tariff duties, is proven by the
terms of the presidents message and
the provisions of the Mills bill as it was
given to congress fresh from the hands
of its trainers. Its evident design was
not to promote symmetry of protection
and the prosperity of the entire coun-
try, but to maintain the industries of
the old South, which may be conducted
by unskilled and ignorant laborers, and
to reduce the people of the North to the
level of the masses of the people of
the South, by closing the furnaces,
workshops, wooden and cotton mills,
steel and bar-iron works of the whole
North and West"

The COnfederacy and Free-Trade.

Judge William ID. Kelley in the Au-
gust Forum says: Slavery never was
the actual cause of discussion between
the North and South, though it was
always resorted to as an available pre-
text. In the opening chapter of De-
struction and Reconstruction, by Rich
ard Taylor, acknowledgement in the
confederate army, the author says that
the Missouri compromise of 1920 was
in reality truce between antagonistic
revenue systems, each seeking to gain
the balance of power" and that sc the
notification movement in South Caro-
lima was entirely directed against the
tariff" In the course of letter to a
northern friend, which was published,
this same General Taylor said:
eve made two great mistakes. Had we
avoided them we should have conquered you.
The first was, that we did not substantially
destroy the protective features of the tariff
in the winter session of 1857 and 1858, by an
act which provided rapid sliding scale to
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1888-08-08

the hardihood to try again to make tin
plates. And this is why there is no
tin plate manufactured in the North -
which is equivalent to saying, in the
United States. And if the government
had pursued similar policy with re-
spect to other important branches of
American industry, this country would
be to-day, despite her rich mines, bring
ing from England her steel and iron.
Despite her cotton fields and pasture
lands, her textile fabrics would be COM
ing chiefly from British looms. No
stronger argument for protection need
be sought than is afforded by the
history of the attempt of Ameri-
cans to make tin plates in America
And republicans need ask no stronger
condemnation of the prevailing demo-
cratic heresy, whether labeled free
trade or tariff for revenue only,
than is presented in this true story
of the futile efforts of an unpro-
tected American enterprise to make
head against Europe's child labor,
woman labor, pauper labor, or cheap
labor in any other debasing form. Put
into practice, the democratic tariff doc
trine would make America a graveyard
of ruined industries and her working
people tramps and outcasts on the face
of the earth.

The County COnventiOn...Its
"QuOta."

The delegates of Washington county
republicans, in convention assembled a
week ago, fully justified the eulogy of
the WATCHMAN in recent issue. 1t
was grave and reverend body of free
men, coming together with an intelli-
gent understanding of the purpose of
their meeting, having clear concep-
ton of the high duties of citizenship
they had met to discharge, and doing
their duty in plain, straightforward,
decorous manner. The ticket NOM
mated is one of rare strength and merit,
from beginning to end No county can
have stronger representation in the
senate. In the convention the contest
for the new senatorship was between
DR.. Jones and Judge Stanton. In the
canvass before the convention the name
of G. w. Randall had been prominent.
He had a gratifying following among
the delegates from several towns, and
had his name gone before the conven-
ton, prolonged contest might have
been the result and some bitterness en-
gendered. Mr.. Randall is loyal re-
publican. He realizes that, in this
election, senatorship, or any local
office, is of small importance compared
with the great national issue, and he
believes that no personal ambition
oh lO0 oil l. H.
ure to interfere with the united and
enthusiastic pursuit of the supreme OBJ
ject of the national canvass. Notwith-
standing the fact that prominent cit
liens were ready to bring his name be-
fore the delegates and support his can
didacy, of his own notion he requested
the Waterbury member assigned to that
service to withhold his name. His can
didacy and his course do him credit and
we trust that in some future conven-
ton of Washington county republicans
his name will be presented, and that
both he and Judge Stanton, who had
an enthusiastic following, will stand
among the elect.
For the new assistant judge, Senator
Chaplin made strong plea-quaint
full of horse sense, wit and humor-fol
that sturdy republican, Russell Sawyer
of Moretown, who is so free from self
seeking that he remained at home OF
his farm while his friends and neigh
bors were contending for place o
honorable distinction for him. TIL,
ballot shows by how close a vote thu
worthy ex-sheriff, II. w. Lyford, OBJ
tanned the nomination.
The sharpest contest of the day wa
over the nomination for the Office O
sheriff. Mr.. Atherton's brilliant recor
secured for him the unusual honor c
q fourth successive nomination. MI
Plumley made an effective speech fo
his townsman, Deputy-sheriff Howe
The ballot shows that his words, wit
Father Chapin's " humor, had the
effect, and that Mr.. Howe has merit
which are appreciated and may win ne'
time. None but qualities of a sterlin
character could have 80 stoutly witt

General Harrison on the Tariff.

Following is part of speech deliv-
cred in Chicago four months ago: 81
believe the republican party is pledged,
and ought to be pledged, to the doc
trine of the protection of American in
dustries and American labor. l believe
that in so far as our native inventive
genius which seems to have no
limit,-our productive forces, can sup
ply the American market, we ought to
keep it for ourselves. And yet this
new captain on the bridge seems to
congratulate himself On the fact that
the voyage is still prosperous notwith-
standing the change of commanders;
who seems to forget that the reason
that the voyage is still prosperous
is because the course of the ship
was marked out before he went on
the bridge and the rudder was tied
down. He has attempted to take a
new direction since he has been in COM
mand, with view of changing the
sailing course of the old craft, but ii
has seemed to me that he has made the
mistake of installing the flash light
of some British lighthouse for the light
of day."

stood such competitor as Sheriff Ath-
erton. Still we must dissent from the
too rigid application of the doctrine OF
rotation in office to a public servant so
competent and faithful as Mr.. Ather-
ton has been. The safety of life and
property are matters of the very first
importance. The office of sheriff is
more nearly akin to that of judge of
probate in its bearing upon the general
welfare than an elective Office like that
of senator or representative, on the
" frequent recurrence of which to the
people" so much stress was laid. But
frequent recurrence " does not neces-
sarily mean frequent change. We wish,
indeed, that some limitation based on
approved merit and fitness could be APP
piled also to the recurrence of change
in the representative offices.
The ticket is an admirable one, and
this fact, with the splendid spirit of the
delegates, will go far toward raising
Washington county's quota of Gov
ernor Proctor's 30, 900 majority" Now
let every republican go to work and till
"sunset of election day." do his full
share to "raise" that quota. This
county's majority in 1880 was LOO; in
1884, 400. The "quota" for 1888 is
not less than $500. 1t can be had.
Indeed the county of Dillingham; ought
to make his election unanimous.
That's the proper thing to do.

SENATOR EDMUNDs is still the
" watchdog of the treasury" A re-
cent instance of the tenacity of his
grip on the nations purse-strings is his
opposition to the appropriation of
S277 ,692 for the purchase of General
B. F. Buffers residence near the capt.
tol at Washington, for the use of the
supreme court. The senator urged the
good and sufficient reason that the
amount named was five times the worth
of 10000 square feet of land with a
good stone building on it. His oppo-
sition defeated the measure.

THE Springfield Republican moralizes
on the use of the Union flag as the tails
man of the republican party; Never
theless, men and brethren, the sight of
an American citizen wiping his nose
on miniature flag of the United States
is anything but a pleasant spectacle.
The old flag is too dear and sacred a
symbol to be put to that use, whoever
may be the offender, Politics need not
interfere with the eternal fitness of
things, even in hurrah campaign y"
The Boston Journal readily replies
" Our rural contemporary is not aware
that the flag handkerchief is not to be
put to any such purpose, but it will be
waved whenever a bandana is tiouted
in the face of American citizens. Only
those unaccustomed to napkins use the
table-cloth and only strangers to the
tooth-pick use their iack-knives."

Philip Henry Sheridan.

Mass, Sunday night, August 5. Up to
half-past nine O'Clock in the evening
there had been no warning of the COM
ing crisis. His symptoms had con-
tinued favorable and his family and
the physicians were in hopeful spirits.
Suddenly, however, signs of the
dreaded heart failure reappeared. The
remedies which had proved successful
in previous attacks were unavailing.
The general of the army gradually sank
into unconsciousness, and at twenty
minutes past ten O'Clock another of the
illustrious trio of Union commanders
had joined the great host of comrades
beyond the grave.
Philip Henry Sheridan was an illus
tration of dauntless courage and rare
strategic skill. Manifesting these mill
tary qualities in a degree seldom
equaled, he was much more than their
simple representative. He was gen.
erous-hearted man; a sincere lover of
the country which raised him from an
Irish cabin to position among the
nations pupils; and he did work in the
war against rebellion which no other
man could do as well-certainly no
other man gave promise of doing it.
His name is inseparably connected with
many Of the greatest battles at both the
East and West, closing with that bril-
liant dash at Appomattox Courthouse
in April, 1865, which threw down the
last barriers of the rebellion. His ia
nous twenty-miles' ride in the Shenan-
doah Valley and conversion of a panic
stricken host into a victorious army
will live as long as the memory of our
republic survives. He was full of the
mercurial magnetism of his race, yet as
firm as rock when the exigency re-
quired. He was one of those COM
manders who generally found his men
willing to accompany a forlorn hope,
because they always found him ready
to lead it. OF stalwart form-one of
those men who seem to have been Gre
ated on gigantic proportions and then
compressed, as in a lemon-squeezer,
until every fibre and muscle was hard
and compact as iron, General Sheri-
dan appeared destined for long life.
AS the sequel has shown, his fearful
exertions during the war must have
undermined his constitution. He has
passed away in what would be the full
prime of many men, at the age of fifty
seven, and has surrendered to the
enemy, who sooner or later must con-
quer us all
He was born in Perry county, Ohio,
in 1881, and was the son of humble
emigrants from Ireland. His friends
secured for him an appointment at
West Point, and, as in General Grants
case, the nation was much more than
repaid by its protege. General Sheridan
succeeded, November l, 1888, General
Sherman as general-in-chief of the
army, and had just returned from g
long journey to the West when he was
overtaken by disease. He was married
to Chicago lady, who survives him
and has, we believe, left children. Re
ligiously, he was member of the
Church of Rome, but we have never
learned that he was specially devou
in his allegiance. Few men will BIZ
longer remembered or, at their death, BIZ
more sincerely and generally mourned

A JACKSON DEMOCRAT" elsewhere
in this issue calls attention to very
remarkable utterance of Mr.. Atkins re-
speeding the past and present political
status of Vermont. 1t will puzzle any
student of political history to find the
time when &C the republicans have been
in control in the nation" Vermont
had twice gone democratic" And a
Vermonter's features expand into a
broad grin when they read that this
year Mr.. Atkins sc did not feel like
CHASING the Green Mountain State as
doubtful" Our stern Jacksonian friend
severely intimates that the leader of
the Vermont democracy is not strictly
truthful in making these statements.
A more charitable construction of his
remarks might be that our esteemed
contemporary had again forgotten him
self, as he did once on a time at a
famous Butler banquet in Boston, and
while in a condition of eXaltation had
dreamed dreams and seen visions.
