Not a Delegate or Candidate.

To the Editor Of the Rutldnd Herdld:-I no.
tice that the Herald of December q con-
tanned an item to the effect that / would be
one of the delegates from this state to the
next republican national convention. In
regard to this statement [ wish to say a few
words. There is a popular impression preva-
lent that the state convention elects the
delegates to a national convention, and /
can only account for the publication of an
item of this character on the hypothesis that
the originator was either a democrat or
mugwump. / understand the statement
first appeared in a Troy paper, and presume
it was inadvertently copied into the Herald.
In this connection | desire to say that had
no knowledge of the item until after its pub
LEGATION, and furthermore, that regard any
such assertion regarding citizen previous
to the meeting OF party convention as
most absurd. I beg leave to remark that
the subject of my candidacy for so honor
able a position as delegate TO a national con-
venton has never been entertained and
that | have no ambition for political prefer
ment in that direction. | shall be content
to occupy a seat in the spectators gallery
of the exposition building during the ses-
sions of the national convention and to look
down upon the assembled republican dele
gates who will name the next president of
the United States. believe Vermont should
send delegation to Chicago composed of
the ablest and strongest republicans within
her borders. The names Of the gentlemen
who should be selected for delegates need
not be named by me, for they are as familiar
to the republicans of Vermont as household
words In conclusion desire to say that,
in my humble opinion, the nominee of the
next republican national convention will
be James G.. Blaine. While it might not be
wise or polite to send delegation pledged
or instructed for Blaine, it would be most
injudicious and unwise to send delegates
who are anti Blaine men. Vermont repub-
licans ought not to assume the attitude of
antagonizing Blaine or any other candidate
before or after the nomination, but fall into
line with republican sentiment throughout
the country and thereby receive the recog-
milton they are so justly entitled to.

The list of disasters for the year is a
sad one and is especially noted for
the frequency of railroad calamities.
Among the latter may be mentioned
the railroad collision at Tiflin, Ohio;
the disaster in Hartford, VT; the Bus
sey bridge accident on the Boston Il
Providence railroad; a collision of
trains at st. Thomas, Ontario; the dis
asters at Chatsworth, Illinois, and at
Kouts, Indiana-all figuring in the ag-
gregate large number of killed and
injured. The loss of life by dozen
marine disasters in different parts of
the world foots up several thousand.
Earthquakes in Italy and lower France
killed GAG persons and wounded 452,
and $50 were killed at MoCteruma,
Mexico. Explosions in mines killed
many workmen in British Columbia,
Westphalia, Belgium, and Scotland.
At Zug, Switzerland, 1000 lives were
lost by landslide. BY the burning
of the Royal Theater at Exeter, En-
gland, 40 lives were lost, fifteen by
the burning of the Richmond Hotel in
Buffalo and 125 by the burning of the
Opera Comique, Paris. Thousands of
persons were drowned by great floods in
China. The cholera has visited South
America and caused an appalling num-
Der of deaths in northwestern India.
Yellow fever has prevailed at Key
West and Tampa, Florida. Typhoid
fever. diphtheria and scarlet fever have
been quite prevalent in many parts OF
the United States and Canada.
The year has its bright and encour-
aging features as well. Probably the
rate of progress in the arts of peace,
and the general contribution towards
furthering the comfort, happiness and
enlightenment of the race have been
fully up to the average.

An Interesting Report.

Labor Commissioner Carroll d.
Wright has made a report to the secre-
tary of the interior concerning the
strikes and lock-outs of the six years
ending December 81, 1886, which pre-
sents some valuable facts. During this
period there were in the aggregate
1908 strikes, involving 22,336 estab-
lishments The largest number in any
year was in 1SS6-1,412, involving
9,S93 establishments. OF all the strikes
of six years 1850 per cent succeeded,
13.45 per cent were partially successful
and $3.50 per cent failed. OF employ
ers' lock-outs 1855 per cent only sue
ceeded. The commissioner estimates
the total loss to strikers at SOL SIG, 165;
loss to employees through lock-outs,
IS, 132,717; total wage loss, $50, 94S,-
$50; average loss, 80, 445 to each estab-
lishment, or nearly $40 to each striker.
Assistance given to strikers, So $685.
O57; to sufferers from lock-outs, 81
1O5 ,53S; total, "a 1880 500. Employers
losses through strikers, S30,732 ,653;
through lock-outs, S3,432 ,26l; total,
1874 ,164 ,914. OF course the report dis
claims absolute accuracy, but it APP
proximates to something near the
actual facts. AS for the cause or OBJ
iects of strikes, increase of wages was
the principal one, 42.44 per cent.
Other leading causes were: For reduc-
ton of hours, 1915 per cent; against
reduction of wages, 7.75 per cent; for
increase of wages and reduction of
hours, 7.57 per cent; against increase
of hours, so per cent; total for five
leading causes, 1888 per cent; all other
causes, 22.17 per cent. In estimating
the pecuniary losses resulting from
strikes no account is taken of the loss
to the country at large by the conse-
quent interruption to business, the
direful want and suffering it brought to
thousands of laborers and their fam
lilies, the hate and bitterness engen-
dered among multitudes of men and
the harvest of violence and crime
which resulted in too many instances.
And yet something may have been
gained in creating better public SEN
timent on the labor question.

cess which consumers are obliged to
pay upon all articles so covered. But
no one has been able to figure out that
the actual enhancement of the price to
the consumer was more than one-tenth
of forty-six per cent, because foreign
manufacturers and exporters assume a
good part of the burden themselves in
order to gain market for their goods
in this country. But for the tariff their
goods would come much higher to the
buyers here.

Farmers and the Tariff.

The current number of Harper's
Magazine has a lengthy but interesting
article by Henry Watterson, the able
editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal,
which advocates ga tariff for revenue
only" The argument is specious and
misleading and has all the fiapdoodle
which the foes to protection are in the
habit of feeding their disciples upon.
Mr.. Watterson either discredits or ig-
nores all the facts and figures which
show how the country has developed
and prospered under the protective
system, although they are incontest-
able; and in fact his whole argument is
conclusive of nothing except to show
that his devotion to free-trade theories
outweighs all considerations of fairness
and candor in dealing with the SUBJ
iect. Senator Edmunds, who is to
reply to Mr.. Watterson in the February
number of Harper's, has fine oppor-
tunity to demolish the Kentucky ed
itor's assumptions and fallacies.
One of the most extraordinary state
ments in Mr.. Watterson's article is
that the tariff affords no protection to
farmers. The editor of the free-trade
Chicago Tribune has also declared re-
Gently that western farmers have no
protection for their products. 1t speaks
well for the courage of these gentle
men that they make this statement
with all the facts and solid argument
against them, but it is not creditable to
their intelligence and candor. We find
that the tariff on agricultural products
embraces the following duties: Wheat,
twenty cents per bushel; corn and
oats, ten cents; rye and barley, fifteen
cents; rice, two and one-half cents per
pound; butter and cheese, four cents
per pound; potatoes, fifteen cents per
bushel; poultry, ten per cent; peas
and beans, ten to twenty per cent; to-
bacco, manufactured, thirty-five cents
per pound, and unstemmed, fifty cents
per pound; sugar, from two to five
cents, as to quality; on horses, cows,
bulls, oxen, steers, calves, sheep,
lambs, goats, hogs and pigs, twenty
per cent of their value, except when
imported for breeding purposes, and
then they are admitted free; beef and
pork, one cent per pound; mutton, ten
per cent; wool, from ten to twelve
cents per pound, and from ten to
twelve per cent ad ualorem; hay,
twenty per cent of its value; hops,
eight cents per pound; calf-skins,
twenty per cent, and on hemp, 1915 per
ton. 1t is not a common-sense view to
maintain that the imposition of these
duties is of no benefit to our farmers.
But this is not all. The true and
logical view is that the home market
is more certain and profitable to oul
farmers than a foreign one. The enor
nous extension of manufactures in
tariff has created a home demand fol
all but eight per cent of our farm
products. 1t is undeniable that while
the tariff has lowered the cost of wha
the workng-man has to consume il
