Ways of Reducing the Surplus.

There are three ways in which the sur
plus il the United States treasury may be
reduced. One is to spend it in building
coast defences, improving the navy, erect
ing public buildings, improving rivers and
harbors, and other internal improvements
A second way is to take off the internal
revenue taxes, and so reduce the tariff AS
to check the importation of goods and
wares that can be manufactured in the
United States, and release from duties
articles of foreign production which can
not be produced at home. This would re-
Once the surplus by cutting off a large
slice of the revenue from customs, and, at
the same time, would protect American
labor by building up American industries
This is the republican plan.
A third way is TO reduce the tariff by
horizontal reductions on everything pro
duced in the northern states, leaving the
duties on the articles in which the South
ern sugar and cotton plnpters are inter
ested, untouched. A moderate reduction
of duties under this plan would accom-
plish nothing in the way of reducing the
surplus, for it would greatly increase i'm
portations and the revenue therefrom. A
heavy reduction will close thousands Of
American workshops and factories, and
oblige the American workingmen to com
pete with the pauper labor of Europe
with the inevitable result of bringing hin
down 10 that pauper level. This is the
plan of the democratic party, outlined bI
President Cleveland himself in his mes
sage, and embodied in the Mills
tariff bill. The American workingmer
will show by their votes next NovembeI
which system they prefer.

Sership was very fully represented and
there was full attendance from the
Sauveur school of languages, in whose
honor the concert was gwen.
The evening was passed in prornenading

A good deal of the pleasure of the occa-
sion was derived from the handsome
yacht Stella, which was anchored in front
of the club house. She was illuminated
by colored lights and fireworks and the
picture from the club house piazz4s was
| strlklngly beautiful ard attractive The
stella is owned by Mr. J. Walter Thomp-
son, prominent New York gentleman,
and is on Il cruise through Champlain.
Inc party on board consists of Mr.. and
Mrs. Thompson, DR.. NJ. l.. Thompson,
Miss Boyle and Miss Lizzie Boyle, all of
New York. Mr. Thompson is a member

Lake Champlain they have been fishing
a gooo deal and have visited Ausable

tinuing their trip to the st. Lawrence
river, down past Quebec up the Sageunay,
| back to Montreal, up the Ottawa then
back through the st. Lawrence river to
the Thousand Islands to Lake Ontario and
through the Erie canal back to New York.
The members of the party are exceed
ingly pleasant people, made many friends
while in town and were cordially invited
to return to Burlington another season.
Among those present at the concert were
many prominent citizens of Burlington es
well as many from out of town, and the
occasion was so pleasant for all who were

in the succeeding concerts of the series.
The interest in the club is increasing and

ital could be made out of grand reunion
of the blue and gray, and that it would
afford to Mr.. Cleveland a chance to re.
move some of the odium which he incur
red, even among the soldiers of his own
party, when he visited Gettysburg before,
by his stolidity, obvious Indifference to the
patriotic memories of the spot, and utter
want of sympathy with the veterans of the
Union army.
But the plan did not pan out we'll The
eX-confederates do not enjoy leunions On
the fields of Union victories and did not
come. The president stayed away. The
orator, Mr.. Curtis, read lecture on the
destruction of popular government and
outrages on the ballot in the Southern
| States, which, however inconsistent with
his own position as an ally of the democ-
racy had more truth in it than any demo-
crat cares to hear Sickles and Butterfield
did not make much out of the occasion,
for their side of the question which they
| have raised whether Sckles or Meade
fought the battle of Gettysburg; and all
in all the experiment cannot have very
largely rewarded its inventors No Union
soldier of any prominence so far as we
know, Ben Butler alone excepted, threw
cold water on the project and many la
| bored earnestly to make the reunion sue

and gray, and as 3 piece of political ma
chinery 1t was failure and it is not
likely that it will be repeated very soon.

The Gettysburg Reunion.

The Gettysburg Star remarks that as a
reunion of Union and confederate veterans,
the late reunion at that place was a fail
ure. Hardly 200 of the latter" says the
star, appeared. The orators came but
the rank and file stayed at home. The in
vitation to the reunion was given and &C
cepted year ago. The event was widely
advertised. The president of the United
States was expected, and he declined only
at late hour by reason of circumstances
which he does not explain. 1t is signii-
cant that the confederate veterans declined
to be paraded. They were evidently out
of sympathy either with the thing itself OF
with the manner of it"
We have little doubt that politics had a
good deal TO do with the scheme for this
reunion. Generals King, Mcmahon and
Sickles, of the society of the Army of the
Potomac, are sharp democratic politicians
and always wide awake to make some
thing for their party. They doubtless
thought that good deal of political cap
