Vermont farmers who have maple
sugar groves insist that the federal
government ought to give them a
bounty on the sugar they make from
trees, Just as much as the planters in
Louisiana who make it from cane or
the growers in Kansas who get 1t out
OF sorghum, and Congressman Grout,
of that state, insists that the ways
and means committee shall, even at
this late day, reCtify the blunder.-
~ Y. Erening Post.
We have suspicion that Congress
man Grout will get little encourage
ment from his sugar-making consti-
tuents to press his demand on the
ways and means committee. They sag,
while Vermont sends to market an
nually over "A million pounds Of maple
sugar, nearly a million pounds OF cane
sugar go annually to the Vermont
sugar camps. The cane sugar, as it
goes into the camps, costs about D
cents pound, it comes out OF the
camps with a pronounced maple flavor,
worth 10 to II cents pound. Govern
ment would hardly consent to pay a
bounty on maple" sugar 10 per cent.
Of which is cane; and If they must
make pue maple sugar before they
can get the bounty, we reckon the
Vermont sugar makers won't be very
greedy TO get that bounty.

Northern Morris is to have boom

Inns, a local quarryman of large exper-
fence, has got some Cleveland men to
examine and become interested in GER

famous Cleveland sandstone, and, as
the quantity seems to be inixhausti-
BILE, they talk positively of investing

as the Cleveland gentlemen believe it

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
To the Memory Of the Late Harry Baum.

The following resolutions on the
death Of Harry Baumgardner have
been adopted by the Alumni Associa-
ton:

1t was with sorrow that We learned
Of the death of our beloved compan-
ion and classmate, Harry Baumgard-
ner. He was born in Ottawa; he was
an alumIus of our school; he was a
Pharmacy. That he should have
fallen before the scythe of death, just
as his feet had pressed the shores Of
mental success and as he was about to
enter upon his life's work, seems in
deed sacrifice to death. But, though
he is dead, the memory Of his blame
less young life is with us. Harry
Baumgardner loved his friends and
was by them beloved. He was perfect
in the highest degree admissible to
man. Chief among his virtues was
Steadfastness. He was loved and
loving son, and where once his voice
was heard in sOftened accents, now
his memory fingers like sweet pres.
ence from beyond the tomb. Let our
brief contact with him be an epoch in
life which shall be ever with us in
memory.
Your committee suggests that it be

Will there be silver bill? The
senate debate on the bill as passed by
the house has progressed far enough
to show that the senate will never
assent to the bullion clause of the
house bill. There are twelve Republic
can senators, representing six silver
states, and every one Of them has said
that under no circumstances will the
house bill be allowed to pass. THE
Sooner the goldbugs understand this
the better. If they persist in their
present course the tariff bill and
everything else will suffer in conse-
auence. We are determined to have
what we deem to be proper silver
legislation and we will subordinate all
else to that end" Meantime, if the
house is dragooned into striking out
the bullion clause, the president
stands pledged to veto the bill. How,
then, can there be silver bill?

SILVER.

The silver bill which passed the
house last Saturday is, with very
slight modification, the Window bill
as originally proposed. 1t requires the
secretary of the treasury to purchase
1880, 600 worth of silver per month,
at the market price, and issue upon 1t
silver certificates to the same amount,
which certificates he is at liberty to
redeem in silver dollars or in silver
bullion at its market price, in his dis
cretion. This differs from the senate
bill in the very material provision that
the latter, while requiring the
monthly purchase Of the same amount
of silver and issue Of certificates.
makes the certificates a legal tender
like greenbacks, and redeemable in
gold or in silver dollars. The senate
bill Is indeed mere compromise with
the free silver coinage men, who are
satisfied with IL, claiming that as the
monthly purchase of 4,50O,OOO covers
the total product OF our mines and
the certificates issued on such pur-
chase are made legal tenders, the
effect will be soon to bring up silver
to a par with gold, after which, under
the senate bill, there is to be free sill
yer coinage.
The bill as il passed the house is
now before the senate, and was taken
up for debate on Monday. 1t is not
believed that the senate will recede
from the ground it has taken on the
question. Indeed, so strong is the
representation OF the free silver men
from the West in that body that they
will have no scruple in using their

A few sentences will suffice to show

A few sentences will suffice to show
their force. 1T Is a plan" he says,
Ito make INSCRIPTIONS spectators t.
take advantage Of the farmers pecun-
larry necessities and eXtort eXofbltant
prices for food from the people who re-
side in cities, towns and villages, and
from people who reside in the country
but do not own these particular agri-
cultural products. 1t is evident that
no farmer will subject himself TO the
labor and expense OF transporting his
property to the public warehouse and
TO all the other charges which he must
pay for storage, for handling, and for
taking care of them while there when
he has barns and granaries at home, un-
less he is in debt and absolutely needs
the money which the government Is TO
advance, and II he is in that unfortu-
nate condition from what source is he
afterwards to acquire the means to re-
deem the products by returning the
money and interest and paying the
warehouse charges? Ina great major
ity Of cases he will never be able to re-
deem them, but will be forced to lose
the remaining 20 per cent. Of the value
Of his products or sell his warehouse
receipts for whatever he can get for
them, which will be very little, for it
must be remembered that after he gets
his warehouse receipts he has remain
ing interest OF only 20 per cent. less
charges for interest, storage, etc, and
this is all he can dispose Of. He will
find the time rapidly approaching
when he must have money to redeem
his products, or sell his small remain
ing interest in them, or allow them TO
be sold at public auction by the gov
eminent; and this will be the golden
opportunity of the spectators, whose
agents will swarm all over the country,
ready to take the warehouse receipts
from the embarrassed owners, for a
merely nominal sum. The receipt IS
simply privilege of redemption, like
pawn-brOker's ticket, and the farmer,
being himself unable to redeem, will
be forced ultimately to dispose Of it at
any price offered" And so on, through
column or two. In conclusion Mr..
Carlisle says the farmers have so long
been despoiled for the benefit of corpo-
rations and syndicates that he is not
surprised to see them grasp at even
desperate scheme like the present for
relief, but its adoption could only re-
fult in completing their ruin.

FIAT MONEY GALORE.

We hope the farmers who met in
Ottawa recently and resovled to form
a Farmers Alliance for this county
will not be guilty of the folly Of en-
dorsing the Representatives, sub-treas-
ury scheme, or government warehouse
bill, that Is now before congress under
the auspices Of the Southern section OF
the Farmers Alliance of the United
States. The plan, in few words, issto
establish government warehouse in
every county in the United States that
produces over $500, 600 worth OF wheat,
corn, oats, cotton and tobacco, the pro-
ducers of these articles having the
privilege to store as large quantity as
they like in said warehouse and in re-
turn receive from the government as a
loan at = per cent. interest paper mon
ey specially to be issued for this pur-
pose but to be like the greenback in
legal tender, to the amount Of 80 per
cent. of such warehouse deposit, the
depositor having the privilege at any
time to withdraw his product on pay
ing the amount of his loan with inter-
est and storage charges.
The plan will not bear moments
serious investigation. As scheme Of
imitation no wildcat banking system
ever yet devised can begin to approach
it in extravaganza. Referred to the
ways and means committee Of con-
gress, that body, after a very briekcon
sultation, decided unanimously to re-
port against it. The scheme has al
ready drawn forth strong expressions
Of hostility from several leading con-
gressmen, among whom none has more

publican brethren from the middle
and eastern states that until free sill
yer coinage at least as far as 1t Is at

them there shall be no tariff bill pass

house and the president are so firmly
set against the senate tariff bill that
its endorsement: by either is regarded
as out OF the question. The situation
is certainly an interesting one, as 1t
seems to foreshadow the almost in
evitable defeat both OF silver and

PENSIONS.

The protracted negotiations between
the senate and house at Washington
respecting the differences between the
two in regard to pensions resulted IN
an agreement on Tuesday, the sub
stance Of which was that the senate
receded from its dependent pension
feature and the house dropped the
service pension provision, leaving 1t a
simple disability pension bill. In this
shape it was reported to the two
houses on Wednesday and agreed to,
SO il is now virtually law.
The measure is regarded as the end
Of pension legislation for some years
to come, and is, Of course, sore dis
appointment to the Grand Army
veterans, who were so often and
solemnly promised a service pension
bill by this congress, under which
every soldier over sixty-twO years OF
age should receive not less than 50 a
month, no matter what his physical
condition. The bill as passed provides
only that all persons who served three
months or more during the war and
were honorably discharged, and who
are suffering from any mental or physi-
cal disability Of permanent char
acter, not the result of their own
vicious habits, which incapacitates
them from the performance OF manual
labor in such a degree as to render
them unable to earn a support, shall
be placed upon the list Of invalid
pensioners, etc.
This disposes of the service pension,
upon which the Grand Army had so
firmly set its heart, at least until we
can have Democratic congress; for
Mr.. Springer, in behalf Of the Demo-
Gratis, said of the bill as now passed,
being the only Democrat allowed to
speak against it, According to the
figures of the chairman of the COM
mittee this bill with the service feat
ure in it would have cost S42, 100000 a
year. Without the service feature he
estimates it to cost 49,, 100000 year.
That leaves 81, 100000 as the cost of
the service pension, and while you are
voting away so many millions why do
you deny the requests of all the Grand
Army posts in the country simply to
save this paltry sum? This is another
instance of the laboring of mountain
and the bringing forth Of very in
significant mouse"
The pensions under the proposed
bill are in no case to exceed Sl2 a
month or be less than So. Mr.. Springer
said the only reason he could see for
fixing these two rates SO wide apart
for the same degree of disability was
to enable the Republican campaign
managers to juggle with the amount
of pension each man should receive.
"If he is a good Republican and does
not complain because he is being
robbed by the tariff he will be given
the full amount Of Sl2 per month for
his total disability, while the Demo-
crat suffering total disability will be
graded down to SO per month"

Smeetons tin shingle has been pro-
nounced the best shinglein the United
States and he yesterday received an
order from the trustees Of the North
ern Insane Hospital at Elgin, for 40
900 square feet to cover the new add
tion to the hospital.
When Mr.. SmeetOn sent bid and
sample to the trustees, he little ex-
pected that he, being but small manu-
facturer would receive much consid-
raation, but was surprised to receive a
visit from one of the trustees on sat
urday last who told him that his
shingle had been pronounced the peSt
in the United States and that ne
would receive the contract Tor the
new building.
That an Ottawa man should receive
a contract which recommends MS
product so highly is gratifying. IL
should, and doubtless will, result IN
large orders in the future: MI.
Smeeton stated to a FREE TRADER
reporter last evening that 1T surpassed
any order ever received by the house:
Indeed, he had never made 10000
shingles in any one year. He hopes 10

however, that an abundance of money

willing to make any reasonable bar
gain. AS Mr.. SmeetOn could easily
