Attention, Committeeman.

The attention of Republican town
committees is called to section two,
acts of 1884, relating to elections, to
which reference was made last week.
The following is the section:
The selectmen in each town shall, at
least thirty days before a freemen's
meeting make an alphabetical list of
the perons qualified to vote in such
freemen's meeting, and shall imme-
diately cause copies of such list to be
posted in two or more public places in
such town and copy to be filed in the
town clerks Office. Upon such check
list shall be stated against the name OF
each voter the street and the number
of his residence, and where the streets
are not numbered, the school district in
which he resides, and against the name
of each person on the list who has not
resided in the town for which the list is
made, three months previous to the
freemen's meeting for which the list i
made shall be stated that such person
is disqualified to vote for town repre-
sentative and justices.

1t is said that the Democratic Nation
al Committee has so far failed to agree
upon any plan of campaign owing to
| differences of opinion among its mem
bers.
Mr.. Hiram White of Burlington, who
has for 81 years vo,ed for and supported
with his money the Democratic ticket,
has declared that he wants no free trade

There is no denying the fact that the
wave of intense Americensm that is
sweeping over the country would make
war with England extremely popular
with the masses. That this feeling is
reflected in Congress may be readily
seen in the large majorities IN favor of
the resolutions to investigate Canadian
encroachments upon our rights. Two
Of such resolutions have been passed by
the Senate and one by the House.

General Lew Wallace, in his biography
Of General Harrison, notes the fact that
when Harrison graduated from Miami
University IN 1852 the subject of his
address was "The Poor of England, I"
and that he then, at 10 years of age,
made direct and vigorous protection

lection army against those who would
have American workingmen brought
down to the level of the British laborer.

A nd hroka the dia In mouldinp Sheridan

General Sheridan was Commander of

Mr.. Henry George, the great Gland re
former" has been speaking in New York
City in advocacy of Cleveland's free
trade doctrines. He says" Let us not only
urge our friends to join the Free Trade
Club, but recommend it. The time has
come to popularize the cry of Free Trade,
The time has come for which | have
longed and prayed. There are free trad
ers here who have looked upon us with
contempt. They called us cranks and
communists, and they will fight us when
we go beyond certain point. They are

THE WHOLE TARIFF QUESTION.

Ex-Speaker Titus Sheard of Little
Falls N. Y, who employs 300 hands in a
knitting mill, states the tariff question
in nutshell. Being asked how wages
here compared with those in England in
that industry, he said:
They are more than double here.
Expert knitters on full fashioned ma
chimes get from $3.50 to 81 per week in
England, while here we pay for like
work from $40 to $50 per week. Our
girls, as knitting-machine operatives,
earn more on an average than expert
men do in England. This question of
tariff is simply question of wages, and
the quicker the people understand that
the better it will be for all. | will sum
up by saying that the less goods we i'm
port from abroad the more are made at
home, with more employment and high
er wages; the more we import the less
are made here, and consequently less
labor is employed and wages are low
err
The policy of protection has never
been better stated Even the Democrats
must admit this; but they contend that
if wages come down, goods will come
down, so that the masses will be better
off. Applying this tothe mill operatives
they must be able to buy everything
more than twice as cheap here as they
can now, and there is no probability
that they can do it. Living in England
is only II per cent. cheaper than is is
here.
Mr.. Walrath, another mill owner al
Little Falls, said that he had always vot,
ed the Democratic Ticket, but this veal
he should vote with the Republicans, or
account of their tariff platform. He sale
the Mills bill would drive his bushes;
out Of the market unless the men anC
women in his employ would work fol
one-half their present wages.
In view of such testimony as this
coming from all quarters every day, il
is amazing how any wage Garner, in hi:
senses, can longer consent to sustain
the party whose leaders have beer
swept off their feet by the arguments Of
the Golden Club
The Bennington banner. [volume] (Bennington, Vt.) 1858-1894, 1888-08-09

In particularly ingenious mood Ed
itor Humphrey of Poultney and Demo-
cratic postmaster at that point, says in
his journal: There is evidently a
strong undercurrent of sentiment in the
Prohibitory party that may yet lead it
into issues that shall in time clear it OF
prohibition itself. The Kansas state
convention has not only declared for
woman suffrage, but for government
control Of railroads and telegraphs and
the repeal of tariff laws as well as for
the absolute prohibition Of liquor. 1t is
very evident that the trainers of this
platform are drifting so far away from
the original prohibition moorings as to
suggest the necessity of changing the
name of the party. The party changing
principles so rapidly will soon outgrow
the recognition of its best friends. Its
name will no longer convey the correct
idea of its purposes Here is one Dem
ocrat who is afraid his allies, the Prohi-
bitionists, will run away from him.

While Mrs. Sheridan is not wealthy,
she is probably far from poor. Friends
of the General living in Chicago present
ed him when he succeeded Gen, Sherman
in command of the army, with the house
in which he lived. 1t is worth perhaps
$4,000. The Generals salary and per-
quisites have amounted, for the last
eight or nine years, to about $4,000 a
year, and probably more than that.
While a generous liver and liberal
host, he has probably managed to save
fair portion of his salary every year.
AT the time of his death he owned some
property in Chicago and also some in
Ohio. Still Washington dispatches say
that there is already some talk about
raising a fund for Mrs. Sheridan; and
in the Senate Mr.. Farwell introduced a
bill granting Mrs. Sheridan a pension OF
81, 200 a year, which was referred to the
committee on pensions. 1t will probab-
be reported Iavorably and pass the Sen
ate without difficulty. In the House,
however, there is sure to be some OBJ
lection to its passage. Whether it will
be sufficient to defeat it altogether seems
doubtful; but its opponents may sue
coed, however, in having it postponed
until next winter.
