cratic party is denounced as incompe-
tent to reduce the surplus, the enemy
of the soldier and the prostituter of
civil service.
The free-trade fallacy that pro-
tective tariff enhances the cost of com
modities TO consumers is met by the
Tariff League Bulletin. 1t makes a
comparison of the prices of few ar
tcles in common use and shows that
in 1860, when salt was on the free list,
it was sold at an average of SO per bar
rel. The tariff on salt in barrels is now
twelve cents per 100 pounds, yet its
average price now is only about half
what ii was when salt was free in 1860.
The manufacture of plate glass in the
United States was begun in 1866. when
the foreign-made article sold for S2.5
per square foot. The tariff is now fifty
cents foot, and the price has been
lowered until plate glass sells for only
seventy-live cents per foot. Pig-iron
in 1860 sold for S22,75 per ton. Now,
with tariff of SOP per ton, it sells for
SIS. When steel rails were first made
here QSG7) the price was S166 pertOn.
The tariff is now Sl7 per ton and steel
rails are quoted at S3l, and have been
even lower than that. With wool on
the free list it has been urged that
blankets and clothing would be cheaper,
but when the secretary of war invited
bids for army blankets and allowed
foreigners to bid on the same terms as
American maufacturers-tha is. with
out paying the tariff-the lowest British
bid was only thirty cents per blanket
less than that of the American, while
the tariff on the blanket if it had been
charged would have been about $3.50.
OF course the contract was given by
the free-trade administration to the
British bidder and the work was thus
taken from American mills and their
employees. This is what free-trade
means to do every time.

Editor of the Wdtchmdn:-The Barre
branch of the Golden Club held public
meeting at the Opera-house last Friday
evening for the purpose of redeemlng Yer
mont from the clutches of the enemy. The
Barre cornet band paraded the streets in
the hope of drawing out crowd; but
either Mr.. Atkins was misinformed in re-
gard to the 200 or 300 foreigners he claims
to have persuaded to join the party of g re-
FORM" or they were unavoidably detained
for by actual count only 27S persons went
into the hall, including women, republicans,
and babies in arms. Mr.. j. w. Gordon pre-
sided and opened the meeting by few
quaint and antiquated remarks. Among
other things, he said he " was proud to re-
mark that John G. Calhoun was great
free-trader." After few more such utter
ances he introduc ed S. G. Shurtletf Esq.
of Montpelier, democratic candidate for
governor. Mr.. Shurtlef spent most of his
time in attempting to make it clear that the
democratic party was the protective party
and republicans free-traders.
Mr.. Gordon assured the republicans that
he was very sorry that they had not so good
a candidate for the governorship as the
democrats" He then stepped to the front
and majestically waved his hand, but the
applause didn't come. Although !" the boys
had been taken in to warm their toes" they
acted very chilly and did not seem to get
warmed up for the occasion. The only thing
W W Iuo parry iCOhhs Sdh 10
is that coming events cast their shadows
before" and that they must have felt the
approach of the November blizzard.
Mr.. Brown of Rutland fame then COM
menced his free-trade harangue. Rdel
Haggard need no longer devote his atten-
ton to fiction, for in Mr.. Brown he has a
superior. The speaker said, in these words
Ireland never had free-trade, but the
wrong side of protection The
marble-workers in the Rutland quarries re-
ceive only ninety cents and $1.OO per day.
The girls in the shirt-factories there
receive only thirty cents per day"
That he (Mr. Brown was an Irishman.
(There are men in Barre who have known
Mr.. Brown since he was sixteen or eighteen
years old and know that his parents are not
Irish). He said further, "Show me any
pauper labor of Europe which is in any
worse condition than this " Cat Rutland).
All the usual chestnuts were then brought
forward. At the close of his speech
Not bandana appeared,
Not a drum beat
And nobody cheered
As he went to his seat
Mr.. Gordon then started a stampede by
requesting all to come forward and join the
reform club, and afterwards join in singing
the hymn commencing
playing Dixie soft and low
Haul me back to Buffalo"
The republicans of Barre are anxious to
procure Mr.. Browns services, as he is of
great benefit in swelling the protective
ranks.

Wen gently rock free-trade to sleep"

Crop Report.

The August crop report of the depart
ment of agriculture shows slight advance
on that of the previous month in the con-
dtion of cotton and corn. The percentages
of the states of the central valleys are:
Kentucky, 9S; Ohio, 9S; Indiana, 80;
Illinois, 96 Iowa, 9S; Missouri, "a; Kan
sas, 81 and Nebraska, 96. There will be a
heavy crop in this region. Spring wheat
has fallen from its condition of last month.
Chinch- bugs have done the greatest damage
High temperature, excessive rains, blights
rusts and army-worms are locally reported,
evidently without seriously reducing the
general condition. Dakota stands high
est, with an average Of 81, loss of seven
points The reduction of the percentage in
Minnesota is from 81 to So; in Wisconsin,
from 81 to SO; in Iowa, from 81 to 81: in
ington, Colorado and other territories and
of New England is good, and fair in northern
Illinois, northern New York and in the
higher ATTITUDES or attitudes of winter
wheat states. The general condition has
been reduced 95,9 to S7.3 during July. This
exhibit does not include modifying changes
in the first part of August. There are no
estimates of winter wheat after threshing
as yet but reports make the yield better
than the early promise in all the states that
produce much of crop. Cases of heavy
yields are reported. The changes that have
occurred in the general averages of other
crops during the month are: Oats, from 95.2
to 9l.7; barley, from 81 to S9.4 spring rye,
from 1868 to GA; Irish potatoes, from 95.7
to 1872. The buckwheat crop, first reported
in August, averages in condition R.5.
