VERMONT AND THE NEW TARIFF
BILL.

Forbes writes to the Boston Jour
nal that it is the opinion of leading
Vermont agriculturalists that the in
crease of duties proposed by the
Mckinley bill will be of great benefit
to the farming interests of the state.
Speaking of the subject in detail he
says:
THE northern boundary line Ofthis
state forms but a small portion of
the Canadian frontier, yet the
amount and value of the imports
from the Dominion into the customs
district of Vermont reaches an enOr-
nous figure each year. In 1899 the
total value of all importations from
Canada was $11, 500, 265. The
amount of duties collected last year
was So, 46S, 200. The principal
Canadian products entered for con-
sumption at the various ports in the
Vermont district in 1889 were as
follows: Five thousand head of
cattle, 743O horses, II, 945 sheep, D.
1872, 757 dozen eggs, 151 ,647 bushels
barley, ISL ,665 bushels potatoes,
81, 212 tons hay and SO, 46S bushels
beans and peas. Thus it will be
seen that there are annually imported
into Vermont, and through this
stateinto New Hampshire and Mass
achusetts, farm products to the value
of several millions OF dollars. Cana
dian hay to the value of more than
81 900, 600 was imported into Yer
mont in 1899, much of it being
shipped to the Boston market The
duties amounted to some 5000, 900
1t is believed by the Vermont hav
BUYERS that this state can sup
Div the home market formerly sup
piled by Canadian farmers, and that
the imposition of a duty of 81 ton
on imported hay will be of much
benefit to the farmers of Vermont"
The Missionary Herald, from IN
formation which it has obtained at
the Custom House, correctS some OF
the exaggerated statements which
have been circulated regarding the
the shipment of rum to Africa One
of these statements was that there
was a Seven-year contract for 5000
gallons day, or over 1 ,OOO,0 900 gal
Ions a year. The fact is that for the
nine months ending April l, 1890,
there were only 167 ,3O2 gallons ex-
ported. This is only about one-third
of the exports in the corresponding
period two years ago. 1t went to
the British possessions at Sierre
Leone and on the Gold Coast, to the
French possessions and to Liberia.
None of It went to the Congo.

joins with the farmer, and times
brighten. Law and legislatures can
not furnish a farmer with ability or
love for his vocation any more than
it can for any other man or class.
Law may prevent discrimination be-
tween classes and industries, but the
genius to administer ones farm af-
fairs, to produce much and cheaply,
and the kinds that the market most
demands, is independent of all law
and agricultural depression, and
such a man stands out a beacon light
to make more emphatic the fact that
agriculture does have its disciples
who refute the assumption that the
farmer must disappear, on the ground
that he is losing his inheritance,
through the laws delay, the com.
bination of syndicates and trusts, the
eXtOrtion of railways, the grasp Of
the money-lender, and the combin'
ing of all classes to grind him into
the dust. Is it true, or is it the jar
gon largely Of yet another class, led
on by those who base their premises
chiefly upon assumption, politica,
theory, and actual ignorance of the
true condition of American agricul
ture?

Takes The Farmer For A Fool.

Morristown Gazette.
The republican House of Represen-
tatives that passed the Mckinley
tariff bill, says a contemporary, takes
the farmer fora fool. And if he votes
with the McKinleyites after their
adoption of the tariff bill he will
prove the assumption to be correct.
What superlative nonsense to in
crease the tariff on wheat. We ex-
port 40,000,OO0 bushels. We import
1916 bushels. The increase of tariff
on wheat is % per cent. Not bush
ell of the imported wheat was for
flour purposes-only seed wheat.
How will the farmer be benefited
We export 63,0O0,0OO bushels of corn
and import 1888 bushels for seed pur,
poses. The bill increases tariff on
corn. Wherefore but for the veriest
balderdash We exported 624,OO(
bushels of oats. We imported 22,324
bushels, mostly for seed purposes
So up goes the tariff 80 per cent. Fol
importing 1856 bushels of cornmea
we got 100 per cent increase in duty
We exported 400,000,OO0 pounds 0
hog and imported $4,000 pounds. 81
tariff goes up $50 per cent on hos
meat. We export eighty million
pounds of cheese, and import eigh
million. The grades imported ar,
not made in America, but the duty
goes up so per cent all the same. Cal
anything prove the insincerity of thu
republican party to the great labor
ing masses of mankind? Ifso, the,
will certainly see the error they ar,
now in when they suppose that re
publicanism means anything bu
friendship to monopoly. Indeed
they are one.
