Truly Melancholy,

The Boston Globe remarks. with clears
in its voice, " that there is something mel
ancholy in this dccadence Of agriculture in
Ncw England, which was once the back
bone of her sturdy civilization" Very
true, though we imagine that when the re-
turns are all in the decadcnce will be found
TO be less serious than is generally supposed.
But when the Globe adds that "this de-
cadence dates back to the advent of protec-
ton" it shoots wide of the mark, at least
50 far as Vermont is concerned.
As a matter Of fact Vermont has enjoyed
greater prosperity under protection than
under the low tariff that preceded it. We
have already stated the facts. In the de-
cade preceding the civil war we had not
quite free trade; but what might be called
such in comparison with the existing system.
The tariff then in force was enacted by the
democratic party with the avowed inten-
ton OF putting into operation, as far as
was possible, the principles Of free trade.
1t is not likely we shall see, for a great
many years to come, as near an approach
to the free trade idea During the decade
when the ideal free trade condition of
things was at its best Vermont was at
standstill. M business was depressed, and
the total increase in population between
1870 and 1860 was less than lO00-to be ex-
act. 9,S. In 1861 the Morrill, tariff act
was passed, manufactures and the agricul-
tural interest which supplies the raw ma
terial for manufactures revived. In that
decade 1S6O-i0, the population jumped
from 315, 00S TO $50. 551, an increase of 10
1j3, and this in face of the fact that during
nearly one-half Of this decade civil war
ragged that cost Vermont 5000 lives. We
have not the exact figures at hand regard
ing the other New England States, but they
point in the same general direction.
The Globe is doing a grand work in its
advocacy of New Eugand's interests, and
in calling the attention of the rest of the
world to the advantages New England offers
those who desire TO get the best of life at
the lowest rates, but it should not be too
anxious 10 work its free trade notions into
the discussion.

be taxed, they would begin to call in these
little sums and seek to put them in some
safer shelter, and the result to the banks
