More Wool and More Money.

The fact that more sheep and bet
ter sheep is the stock report of the
United States for 1890, though all
others domestic animals show a de-
cline in average value, calls from the
Neao York Press the remark that a
Mckinley bill congress was elected
in 1889, and that it has increased the
protection on wool. In this same
connection the latest issue from the
department of agriculture brings the
gratifying intelligence to farmers
that E'the increased interest in sheep
and wool, noted year ago, has been
continued, and this has been prob
ably the most profitable branch of
our stocks industry during the year,"
and that "the decline in wool pro-
duction, which began with the slaugh-
ter of f1ocks in 1684'85 has been
checked, the aggregate clip for 1890
(fan of 1889 and spring of189O)
being estimated to be 276, 100000
pounds; an increase of II 100000
pounds over the previous season."
The "decline in wool production,
and the "slaughter of aocks referred
to, it should be observed, began i'm
mediately after the adverse tariff of
1888 went into effect. Protection
multiplies mutton, and is the effec-
tual remedy for declining wool pro-
duction.

Which is right? The British gov
ernment, whose colonies and depen-
denotes, with two exceptions, have
protective tariffs (applicable not
alone to other nations, but operative
against England itself), or all the
rest of the civilized world? Call the
roll of the civilized nations; which
are for protection? Germany, France,
Italy, Spain, Mexico, Canada, South
America, Portugal, Denmark, most
of Australasia, Switzerland, Austria
and Hungary, Russia, Sweden and
Norway and the United States of
America. Which are against protec-
tion? England, New South Wales
and New Zealand. 1t will be noted
that tariff for revenue only, or "tar-
iff REFORM" is almost exclusively an
English decoration. But how stand
the people of the world on this ques-
tion? At least 43O, 100000 people in
favor of protection; 38,000,O0O of
Britons against it, to whom must be
added those Americans whose num-
bers are not known, who, while liv-
ing under one flag seem to follow an
other. That is how the jury stands.

The Congressional Outlook.

Members of both houses of Con-
gress are working almost day and
night to pass the measures that real
ly must go through this session and
finish the consideration of the large
appropriation bills. Now that the
Elections bill is beyond resurrection
the Shipping bill is by all odds the
most important of bills pending.
Representative Farquhar is still hope
ful of the passage of this righteous
bill, and Republican indifference is
the only thing that can kill it. This
Indifference comes, curiously enough,
from Representative of agricultural
States and districts.
In connection with the treaties
which this administration proposes
to make the bill to encourage Amer
ican shipping is almost a necessity.
Another important measure that
VIII probably go through is the bill
to restrict immigration. This bill we
have described as bearing the same
relation to immigration as the McKin-
ley administrative bill did to the tar
iff. The latter has stopped dishon-
esty in the administration of the GUS
toms laws. The proposed Immigra-
ton bill will enable the authorities to
enforce the present immigration re-
strictions. Such enforcement will
greatly reduce the influx of undesir-
able foreigners, and confine immigra-
ton to those who are able to take
care of themselves. 1t will keep back
the motley crowd of diseased, pau
perized, dependent, defective and de-
linquent classes who for years have
made this fair land an asylum, filling
our charitable institutions, depressing
our labor market and adding greatly
to the criminal population. While
ever willing to welcome the healthy
and strong and honest and self reli-
ant, the government should rightly
enforce the laws restricting the i'm
migration of the opposite classes.
With these two measures on the
statute books and the appropriation
bills passed the Fifty-frst Congress
will go down into history as the most
active session, so far as legislation is
concerned, since the war, and it will
be ever remembered that more use
full constructive work has been done
than by any Congress since the war,
work that will help the Republican
party in the next Presidential cam
paign.

Vermont has no commissioner of
agriculture and immigration, thanks
to the economical turn of mind of the
last Legislature, so that the adver-
tising of vacant farms cannot very
well be done by the State, but pri-
vate enterprise promises to accom-
plish largely in this direction the
work which would naturally be done
by a commissioner. The Central
Vermont road has decided to boom
Vermont as summer resort by ad-
vertising in all the large cities "Sum-
mer hotels, boarding houses and fam
lily homes among the beautiful green
hill of Vermont" This is a COM
mendable work and one that will re-
dOuud to the honor of the Central
Vermont and at the same time large
ly increase its business. When this
work is thoroughly accomplished and
the States manufacturing interests
have received their proper develop
ment the vacant farm problem will
be found to have worked out it's own
solution. This result may not be
reached so soon in this way alone as
it would with the additional efforts
of commissioner to aid in the work,
but the crop of summer visitors is
sure to make Vermont blossom as
a rose.-Free Press.

In our former answer to "Farmer'
on his "Tariff Tax" article, we real
ly intended to compliment him on his
skill in the use of the pen, proficient
as he might be in the lore of the
pillow. We must still insist that he is
mightier with the pen than the plow.
While dwelling on the subject of the
plow, if there is any special lustre
attaching to an early knowledge of
plow handles, we claim a slight favor
in this direction: In 1852, the writ
er, then pretty small boy, worked
several days holding breaking up
plow for horse, yoke of oxen and su-
peranuated old farmer-all for the
sum of % cents a day-and pay out
of the store, at that. When the
goods were received and invoiced the
boy ''struck," and never to this day
has he held plow at that price. He
has since then kept so posted in ag-
ricultural affairs as to be able to dis
tinguish between a plow and har-
row. 1t, doubtless, would have been
fortunate, if he had learned more of
the plow and done less with the pen.
But it is the tariff matter that
"Farmer" wishes to discuss. We
have not said that the "Tariff is not
Tax, "nor have we claimed that it is
tax. We are something in the con-
dition of Hoosier schoolmaster, who,
years ago, while making application
for a school in that semi i-benighted
region, was asked the question wheth-
er he considered the earth to be round
or fiat. His answer was, 81 am pre-
pared to teach both ways" We do
not care which way the question is
considered, tax, or not tax. We
are pre- epared to claim it benefit Ell
ther way.
1t would not, at this time, be diff
cult to demonstrate to the Canadian
farmer that the tariff is a tax-to him.
Possibly what harms him in the ques-
ton of markets benefits his Vermont
neighbor. 1t is probably true that
some consumer, possibly, class of
consumers, may be taxed with this
or any other tariff system. 1t is not
to be expected that any one system
of governmental or financial manage
ment will conduce superlatively to
every mans benefit. Whatever con-
serves the greatest number is the
best. The poor laborer, who carries
his dinner in a tin pail, is taxed a
fraction of cent on his pail, on ac-
count of the tariff on tin; some poor
chap who is struggling hard against
fortune pays government a tax on
his tobacco, and the tired and over
worked kitchen maid is taxed heavily
for the switch that makes her head
look worse than it did without it. In
fact, directly or indirectly, everybody
is taxed in one sense, by any system
of tariff-any plan of raising the rev.
enues necessary to maintain the gov
ernment. But call it q tax or what
you please, it still rebounds to good
if directly or indirectly the taxed con-
sumner is helped in his wages,t the con-
stancy of his employment, the char
acter of his markets and the general
prosperity of his country. Republic
ans and protectionist consider its ben
efits of the high tariff of two sorts:
direct and indirect. The Vermont

The Tariff as a Tax.

My dear Mr.. Editor: am much
indebted to your courtesy in publish
ing my letter, but l do not feel very
good about your insinuation against
my skill as plowman. | was set to
blowing alone in the field with a yoke
of steers before | was II years old
and there have been but few years
during the more than fifty since then
that 1 have not been turning the fur
rows on my own land-twenty-five of
which years have been passed in Yer
mont. If there is. any man In this
county who is more thoroughly a
farmer in sentiment and interest than
1 am, l wish to make his acquaint-
ance. Your reply to my statements
by arraigning me and arguing against
me as a free trader, but upon what
ground ! can not see. 1t has been
popular in the heat of campaigns to
call all democrats free traders, but
while it is allowable under our system
of political morals to make such
charges before election, it does not
look very sensible to keep it up be-
tween times. AS for myself, although
[ think the Mckinley bill not judi
clous in all its items, [ do not see
any particular reason that any New
England farmer has for objecting to
it. If it does all it was meant, and
its trainers promised it to do, 1 shall
be as well pleased with it as you or
any of my republican neighbors can
be.
My point was not against the Nc
Kinley bill, but, as l should suppose
was evident to every reader, against
the assertion that ''It is not Tax"
/ am in favor of it because | think 1t
Is tax. And by that mean that [
am expecting what was promised for
it-that it would raise the price of
my farm products in the city mark
cts. If it does not do that, please
tell us what good it is to the farmers
of Vermont; AS | understand the ar
gument, this new law was to advance
the profits of manufacturers, and
thus enable them to pay higher wag-
es. This being done, both the man
ufacturer and his help could pay bet
ter prices for farm products; and to
ensure that this should be the case,
the duties on wool, potatoes, eggs,
etc., were increased. Now if the
prices of our products do not increase,
what good is it to the farmer? And
if they are increased, must it not be
to that extent tdG on the consumers?

An exchange, in telling its readers
how to "build up'' town, uses the
following language: "Buy of ped
dlers as often and as much as possi-
BILE. Denounce your merchants be-
cause they make a profit on their
goods. Glory in the downfall of
man who has done much to build up
the town. Make your town out
very bad place, land stab every chance
you get. Refuse to unite in any
scheme for the betterment Of the ma
terial interests of the people. Tell
your merchants you can buy goods
great deal cheaper in some other
town, and charge them with extor-
tion. Keep every cent you get and
don't do anything of a public nature
unless you can get something out of
it directly. If you have anything to
say of your town say it in such way
as to leave the impression that you
have no faith in it. If a stranger
comes to town tell him everything is
overdone, and predict general
crash of the town in the near future.
Keep up divided public sentiment
and knife every man who disagrees
with you on the best method of in
creasing business. If you are a mer-
chant, don't advertise in your home
paper, buy rubber stamp and use
it; it may save you few dimes, and
make the paper look like it was pub
lished in one horse town. If you
are farmer curse the town where
you trade as the meanest splace on
