More About American Tin.


Perhaps there was no one provi-
sion of the new tariff law that was SO
much discussed and fought over as
the increase of duty on tin-plate.
Now that it has become a law, its eff
feet on the article is very quickly
made manifest. A great manutac-
tory of American tin is to be built
in Baltimore, and capital to the
amount of seven million of dollars is
said to be invested in it. twill have
its own tin mines and reducing plant
in the west, and will be the largest
tin-plate concern in the world. An
other factory of the same sort, on a
large scale, but not so great as the
Baltimore one, is also under way at
Pittsburg
These facts moved an exchange to
remark that "the effect of the tariff
on the tin-plate industry will furnish
the most complete test of the pro-
tective theory that can be imagined.
Here is one result already-the en-
ployment of new capital, the erection
of extensive factories, and the EN-
ployment Of a large number of men,
The next, and the crucial question,
will be as to the effect on the price of
tin, tin-plate and tin-wares of all
kinds to the consumer. We don't
believe they will be anz hi2her a year
from now than they were under the
old tariff" Mr.. Mckinley predicts
that in two years tin-plate will be
much cheaper than under the old
tariff.

RECEIPTS.
i. S7.O3S 90


The evening session was held in
representatives hall, the president,
Ex-Governor Dillingham;, in the chair
Prayer was offered by the senate
chaplain, after which the reports of
the secretary and treasurer were read.
Rev. T. p Frost of Brooklyn, N.
Y, delivered the annual address,
holding the close attention of his
audience for over an hour. His sub
ject was: Zone People and One
Book" The enemies of the Bible, he
said, have foretold its future failure,
but 100000 Bibles were sent out
last year. The Bible is intimately
connected with the march of our ma
tional supremacy. 1t will have an
incalculable influence upon the future
of this land. 1t is book of power,
not born to die in its infancy, and
never more loved than in this year
1890. A proof of it's power is its
translation into three hundred differ
ent languages. The Bible is the warp
and fabric of civilization. Without
it the world would be a chasm
it would be n chaos. The possibility
of IT'S being suppressed is Feiectsd----
Any chance of it's being divided is de-
Tssd. Thera is cry against the pen
atty of hell. There, would be no
trust in human even or confidence
in war, were it not fo1 hell. Reject
the Bible and God, and we reject the
truth of the divinity. Ignorance of
the Bible sweeps away the govern
ment and the home. The laxity of
the divorce laws calls forth the re-
mark that all the difference in the
domestic relations of Chicago and
Utah is that in the one case wives
are driven tandem, in the other
abreast. The hope of the ag-
nostic is like the night without a
star. If the Bible is not divine, it is
either a delusion or a fraud and is
the work of hypocrites or fools. The
Bible is the work of an artist for
eternity.

Vermont Bible Society,

The annual business meeting of the
Vermont Bible Society was held at
Montpelier Wednesday of last week.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President,
Hon. William p. Dillingham;, Water
bury; vice-presidents, Rev. Leonard
Tenney, Waterbury, and Rev A. B.
Truax, Montpelier; corresponding
secretary and agent. Rev. l.. H. Ell
lott, Waterbury; recording secreta-
ry, Rev. j. 0. Sherburn, Cabot

Camp, Newport.
The secretary reported steady pro-
gress during the year In thirty-one
repositories Bibles have been kept on
sale at New York prices. The amount
sold was 81 ,953, about 800 less
than in the previous year. Two can
vassers worked four months last
fall and winter, and three have work
ed since last May. Three hundred
and forty-four families were found
among those visited who could not
read or write, and one hundred and
forty of that number were in a single
town. Only forty and one-half per
cent. of the population visited at
tended a Protestant church, and
only twenty-three and one-half per
cent. were connected with a Sunday
school. Children have raised $794-
Sc, which has been spent in different
ways-some for Bibles for blind peo-
pie; some for Bibles for inmates of
public institutions; 800 for the col
ored people of the South, and 800
for work in Bohemia. The American
Bible Society has completed the can
vass of the United States, begun
eight years ago. In the whole can
vass and in other ways the society
has expended the sum of 1862, 567.-
90. The society has been active also
in foreign lands. The treasurer's re-
port is as follows:

The failure to agree upon a verdict
in the case of Col. Mcclure of Barre
against a number of members of the
granite cutters union, which was tried
at Montpelier last week, is greatly
regretted by all lovers of liberty.
Mcclure was not allowed to work
unless he would unite with the or
ganization He refused to do so
and suit was brought against those
members of the union. After much
difficulty a panel was secured and the
trial took place, lasting several days
and ending finally in disagreement
of the jury. In this land of freedom
and liberty, where a man is supposed
to carry his sovereignty under his
own hat" it is presumed that per-
son can work for whom he pleases
and when and how he may choose,
so long as satisfactory arrangements
are made with the employer. We be-
lieve a little of Vermont law judici-
ously administered to these cob
structionists would have produced
a healthy result.

The presence of the Secretary o
| War in the house last week attracted
considerable attention.
The new Secretary of the Senate
"catches on" to his duties in good
shape, and his selection proves the
Senators made no mistake when they
choose him.
Ladies week will draw a large at
tendance to the capitol. Of course
there will be good delegation of the
fair sex from Lamoille.
The reception given by Representa-
tive Cross proved to be all that was
eXpected-a brilliant social and most
enjoyable event. Floral decorations
were elaborate and the music fur
nished by the Montpelier orchestra
was exceptionally fine; the refresh
ments were very tempting and ele-
gantly served; the full dress toilets OF
the ladies were rich and varied. On
the whole it was a most successful
affair and thoroughly enjoyed by all.
The agricultural college contest be-
comes warm. An effort is to be made
to separate the present institution
from the University OF Vermont.
Many think the interests of farmers
and students of agriculture would be
very much improved by the change,
while Others think the present ar
rangement with increased facilities is
just what is needed.
Judge Thompson has introduced a
bill providing that the county or SUI
preme court may order the arrest of
a person who in testifying gives testl-
monY in a manner which raises q 800
SOnable presumption that he is guilty
ofperjury. If the measure becomes a
law, it will probably have a tendency
to make more willing and reliable
witnesses in liquor cases.
Mr.. PrOuty of Franklin has intro
duced a bill in the house to equalize
taxation, which provides for q divis-
ion of taxes on mortgaged prop
erty between mortgagor and mort
gage, on the basis of the interest of
each in the property.
When Gov. Dillingham; recommend
ed that the courts be clothed with
power to order the instant arrest of
every witness that committed perjury
in liquor cases he struck at the root
of the greatest evil in the state Ev-
cry one knows that two-thirds of the
witnesses commit perjury in liquor
cases. Let them be promptly tried
and sent to prison and let men be
taught to tell the truth.

The Rutland Herald objects to the
free text book system on the ground
that it is gain to the publishers at
the expense of the community. i
the Herald had investigated the sub.
ject it would hardly have advanced
that argument. Wherever the sys-
TEN prevails it has inevitably result
ed in decreased expense to the com
munity. An illustration can readily
be found in the town of Hartford,
Vt, where free text books have pre-
vailed since 1879. The average eX-
pense in that town per pupil for five
years was a trifle less than 33 cents
per annum. Abundant testimony
can be produced to prove that the
Herald errs in this respect, and that
free text books mean a decreased eX-
pense to the very persons whose ne
cessities demand it most Windsor

sue of last Friday has an article on
licensing of pharmacists and strongly
argues that no one should be per-
mitted to handle drugs, orrather put
up physicians prescriptions, without
having passed proper examination
and been duly licensed by the state.
Vermont is the only New England
state that permits this practice and
it is to be hoped that in this matter,
which is certainly an important one,
the Legislature will take some action

their profession without a certificate
the same right should be extended to
physicians. Of the two professions,
as great competency should be shown
by the man who puts up the prescrip-
ton as he who prescribes it.

ABOUT THE SIZE OF IT.-HThe tar
if is going,to be a beast of burden for
n great many offenses. Prices are
likely to go up, and the advances
will often be laid to the tariff, when
the tariff has no more to do with it
than Martin Luther had with writing
Annie Rooney" An uptown grocer
the other day wanted twelve cents a
quart for string beans, which could
be bought down street for FIVE He
solemnly told the might-have-been
customer that the advance was due
to the tariff. Down street the tariff
on string beans had not gone into
effect and they still could be had at
five cents. Prices will no doubt adj
vance on many things and for vari-
Gus reasons. 1t is not altogether a
bad sign, this advance in prices, al.
though it may pinch a little here and
there. If prices of manufactured ar.
ticles go up, manufacturers can pay
their employees better wages. L
prices of produce advance, it means
better returns to the farmer, who
needs them badly enough in this part
of the country.-[Albany Evening

THE SECRET OF LIBBY PRIsoN.-One dark
night in February, 1864, more than hun
bred Union officers escaped through the tun-
mel of Libby Prison, Richmond. The Con-
federate sentinel on guard at the time was
true to the Southern Confederacy, and saw
the shadowy figures as they emerged into the
light of the street lamp, and yet did not chal-
lenge or fire upon them. 1t has long been a
source of wonderment why he acted thus, and
the real reason has never been made public.
The true explanation is given in No. 40-41
