"The statement that none OF the Oom-

in Burlington is undoubtedly as correct
as some of the other statements in the
above. Rutland Masons are good men
and true, and the editor of the Herald
must be straining his Imagination to the
utmost when he says that they declare
that they will not assist in building the
temple in burlington. If it should be
decided that the proper place to erect a
Masonic Temple is Burlington by the
majority of the MasOns of the State,
which no doubt will be done in time,

that Burlington was the best and most

The Herald perpetuates the following
chestnut" in a new dress 1.-TWO
young ladies went into an editors office
In Burlington or somewhere, to adver.
tise some kind OF q church fair liz which
Rebekah was to be personated. The
editor began writing, but soon had to
ask them how to spell Rebekah. Both
tried and failed, but before he had time
to say anything about Sunday school
teachers, they asked him where his Bible
was, and as he was unable to produce
any, they rather thought the laugh, or
at least the second laugh, was on him.
How do you spell Rebekah anyhow"

The Prohibitionists are charging that
the Republican platform favors free
whiskey because it recommends the re-
peal of the internal taxes in preference
to the surrender of any part of the pro-
tective system. To understand how lu-
dicrous this is, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, one has only to glance at the
platform recently adopted by the Pro-
hibition National Convention, in which
1.-THE immediate abolition of the internal
revenue system" is demanded on the
ground that it is grave wrong for the
government thus to derive support
from our greatest national vice"

The Grand Council of the Independ-

In Detroit Monday. After discussing
the platforme Of the Republican and
Democratic parties, it was voted unani-
mously 10 endorse Harrison and Morton.
Resolutions were adopted declaring that
the labor party does not approve Of
Cleveland's vetoes Of pension bills, that
the interests of the workingmen can be
best served by protective tariff, that
the soldiers ought to vote for Harrison
who served his country on the battle
field, instead Of Cleveland, who sent a
substitute.

THE TARIFF QUESTION IN A NUT
SHELL.

AJAAHA<A<s
A word 10 workingmen /: A plain
matter. of fact suggestion to them which
they may find of use The free trade
papers are trying to make it out it is the
manufacturers who are interested in
preventing any free trade legislation.
We advise our friends who work by the
day for living not to be deceived by
any such humbuggery. The manufac-
turers in America would be able to ad-
just themselves to new order of
things. They can run their machinery,
they can get out goods,
they can do business as cheaply
as it is dene in England, provided only
they get their labor as cheaply, II the
free trade idea comes in, they will get
their labor as low or they will not hire
it. That is all there is 10 that. The
only way they can be injured perma-
nently will be by the continuous refusal
Of the workingmen in this country to
work at the rate of English wages. How
long can the workingman stand out to
be idle 2 II they are forced to work as
cheaply as they do in England, our man.
ufacturers can make goods just as pro-
fitably and cell them and sell them as
cbeaply rs the English manufacturer.
1t may cost them some temporary EN-
barrassment, but not for long. The
chief element in the difference of the
cost of English and American manufac
lures lies in the item of wages, and just
as sure as the English goods are brought
in more cheaply than they are now, our
manufacturers have either got to 10 stop
work or else reduce wages. That is the
proposition that Confronts the American
laboring man, and between the two,
rather than keep idle, they will have tc
work for less money. There is the whole
tariff question in a nutshell Boston

1t must be gratifying to our Irish TEL
low citizens to read, as editorial in the
London Times: THE only time that

he emigrates to America and votes for
free trade, which he invariably does"

In an able pamphlet on New England
as Customer, Mr.. Edward Stanwood
of Boston discusses the tariff question
broadly, taking the ground that Ameri-
ca is an industrial unit. To illustrate,
he says: The total carrying capacity
of all the vessels entered and cleared
from American ports during the year
1886 1887, in the foreign trade was less
than 2S, 900, 900 tons. The amount of
freight carriedhby the railroads of the
United States in 1886 was 1872, 900, 900
tons. Unless it be true that when a
Western farmer receives a hundred
dollars for as many bushels Of his wheat
he makes more if the wheat is to go TO
Liverpool than he does if it is to make
bread for New England community,
then the real value of the domestic
trade, and its efficiency in increasing
the wealth of the country, are fifteen to
twenty times great as are the value and
efficiency of the foreign trade. "A lao
to help the domestic trade is fifteen
times as useful as lac to foster the for
eign trade; and any law that promotes
foreign trade at the expense of the home
market is the height of unwisdom."
This argument states the tariff question
in a nutshell and challenges, as we'll as
answers, several columns of free trade
pap dealt out to Bennington county
farmers of late by the Democracy in
both argument and print.

The Foreign Grain Trade.

LONDON, Jan. 16.-The Mark Lane Express.
in its review Of the British grain trade during
the past week, says The English wheat trade
is slow and the bulk of samples are in bad con-
dition. Prices have favored buyers. even for
the soundest parcels. The sales OF English
wheat during the week were 5S,074 quarters, at
the corresponding period last year. Flour is
neglected owing to the large foreign supplies.
Foreign wheat is dull. At Liverpool there
has been a decline of Id per GENITAL.
The foreign -four trade is sick Arrivals from
New York continue to pour in supplies The
imports of flour into Great Britain now weekly
exceed those of wheat. The result is that the
English milling industry is doomed to early
destruction. Corn is fraction dearer. Thir-
teen wheat cargoes arrived; four cargoes were
sold; six were withdrawn, and five remain. At
to-day's market the tendency of both English
and foreign wheat was firmer. but without any
notable Increase in values Flour was depressed.
Corn was firm. Oats, beans and peas
