The Farmers and the Tariff.
from the Troy y, Y. Times. ]

To THE EDITOR OF THE Troy TMEs-Dear
Sir:-I wish to suggest that the farmers here
want to know more and hear more OF the
mckinley bill" especially all of which is
deemed to affect them in any way. 1t will
cheer the Republicans, and some Democrats
will be convinced and benefited. Do not
think [ aspire to the honor of running the
Times. Far from it; but some of us think
what | suggest would be of great service to
the cause of Protection. Yours very truly.
j.
The above is from an esteemed
friend of the Troy Times and a rep
resentative farmer of this locality.
1t undoubtedly voices the opinion of
large number of intelligent farmers,
1t is a good thing to talk over the
tariff as it affects the farmer. The
Protective system is designed to ben
eft no one class or interest at the eX-
pense of another, but to put all as
nearly as possible on an equal foot
ing to secure the benefits of a home
market and prevent disastrous for
eign competition. AS agriculture is
recognized by economists as one OF
the greatest and most important of
all industries, in the shaping of tar
ifs it is only fair that its claims
should be given prominence.
Such was the case, to an excep-
tional degree, when the Mckinley
tariff act was framed and passed.
That bill includes a total of 635
items or groups of items. In these
the rates of duty on 800 are left the
same as in the old law; in 142 the
rates are decreased or the items put
on the free list, and in 1873 the rates
are raised By far the largest num-
Der of items in any one group in
which there has been an increase is in
agricultural products. OF these the
rates have been increased on forty
five items a decrease has been made
in only two, while the rates are I'M
changed in ten cases. In no other
schedule do the increases approx
mate those on agricultural products
The next largest number is twenty
seven, in the list of cotton goods
Here are some OF the leading items il
the agricultural schedule, with the

CHARLES A. RITTERBUSH.

30, Charles A. Ritterbush, son of Mrs Ellen

The deceased was young man of ability.
He was fine scholar, and at the close of h S
attendance at the Johnson Normal school.
he entered business college at Boston, re-

at Auburn, Me-, where by his quiet ways and
good business habits he gained many warm
personal friends. To within six weeks of his
death he was book=keeper for the firm of A.

a tribute of beautiful flowers as did also the

him life was at its brightest and best, and as
he felt the languOr of insidious disease steal

The move whereby the silver men
got their free coinage bill through
the Senate last week. has aroused
considerable interest in the east. An
enthusiastic non-partisan meeting
was held in Boston Tuesday, at which
decided opposition to the bill was
manifested. The eastern and middle
states are not ready for free coinage
yet and in our opinion the bill will
fail to pass the House. The measure
is fraught with danger and uncertain
ty to all forms of industrial enter
prises.

Governors Night"

The meeting of the Vermont Dairy
mems Association at st. Adams last
week was well attended, and may
properly be said to have been one of
the most successful of any of the
meetings of the association. Ex-Gov.
Hoard of Wisconsin proved to be a
first-class attraction.
Governors night" SO called, in
which a halfdozen Governors and EX-
Governors were advertised to speak,
was a disappointment-no of those
dignataries puttingin an appearance
We cannot speak for the entire list,
but so far as Gov. Page is concerned,
we are permitted to say that the use
of his name as one of the speakers
was entirely unauthorized, as he had
known for some time previous that
an important meeting of the board of
trustees of the State Insane Asylum
was appointed for that day at Water
bury
The meeting at Waterbury was a
very important one, involving the
closing OF a $4,000 contract for the
laundry machinery, bids for which
had been advertised for and were to
beopened that day and decided upon.
The consulting engineer of the con-
tractors for heating the institution
had come on from Boston to meet
the board and consult with them
about making a change in the
heating arrangement, and the ques-
ton of the electric light plant
was, under the advice and direction
of the consulting engineer, considered
and acted upon. At the especial in
stance of Gov. Page the hour of
meeting was changed from 1 D. m to
8 a. M, hoping that in this way the
Iabors of the day might be closed in
season for him to go to st. Adams,
for he would have been glad to have
prevented any disappointment, even
though he had madeno appointment,
and was consequently breaking none
by staying away. But it was found
impossible to properly consider mat
ters coming before the board of asy-
lum trustees in time to take the train
for st. Adams, which left Waterbury
at p. m. In fact the board was
compelled to continue their hearing
until 10 p. m. Having ascertained
that he could not be present, the
Governor wired Secretary Bass in
ample season, but it appears that
the secretary concluded to go home
that evening and consequently the
message was not received and read.
All this shows that the unauthori-
zed using of any PERSONS name in
in this way ought not to be INDUCED
in even though it may serve as an
attraction to bring out the people

As fair an artists bright dream;

These increases range from D to
800 per cent, and they illustrate the
liberal spirit shown toward the farm
ers by the Republican congress which
prepared and enacted the Mckinley
bill. Especially must the farmers
hereabouts, brought into direct com
petition with their Canadian neigh
bors, appreciate the additional Pro
lection given their grain, hay, milk,
butter, eggs and vegetables. Take
the single item of potatoes. There is
not a single farmer in this section
who does not realize what it means
to have the market flooded with Can
adam, Scotch and German potatoes,
forcing down prices and destroying
their profits. We quote from the
American Economist:
The following figures of the domestic pro-
duction and imports of potatoes for five
years clearly show how imports rose and fell
according as the domestic crop was short or
abundant.

Maple Sugar Bounty.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION OF INTEREST
TO vERMONTERs RENDERED BY
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Attorney General Miller has rem
dered his opinion as to whether the
tariff act of October /, 1890, au-
thorises the commissioner of inter
nal revenue to issue the licenses
therein provided for prior to April 1,
1891, and to pay to the manufac-
turers the bounty on sugar produced
between March 81 and July 1, 1891
The attorney general says that the
sugar produced between March 81
and July /, entitled to a bounty un-
der the act, is sugar of domestic
manufacture and that the only sug-
ar of domestic manufacture pro-
duced between the dates given is ma
pie sugar.
To pay a bounty on maple sugar
and not on other sugars, he holds,
was not the intention of Congress,
for to do so would be paying a boun-
ty for Is years on maple sugar and
for IA years on all other sugars
which mature in the summer and
fall
at seems clear" continues the at
torney, THAT it was not intended
that bounties should be demandable
on sugars produced prior to the first
of July next.

The trainers of the Mckinley bill saw how
unjust to our farmers were the conditions
which thus allowed the foreigner to keep
down the price of American potatoes, so that
poor crops instead of bringing q price which
would at least partly make up for the bad
yield would bring very little, if any, more
than in times of abundant harvest. They
examined the existing tariff law and found
that the duty on potatoes was only fifteen
cents q bashel. They also discovered by con-
sulting the record of prices and the move
ment of imports, that as soon as prices got
up to about forty cents a bushel, the for
eIgner would begin to ship his potatoes to
New York. That is, he was willing to sell his
potatoes at twenty-five cents a bushel, pay
the duty of fifteen cents, and compete in the
American market at forty cents. So Mr. Nc
kinley and his colleagues determined that
they would make it Improbable for the for
eigner to compete with our farmers when
their half a crop was selling for only forty
cents a bushel. Accordingly these friends of
American producers decreed that henceforth
the foreigner should not send his potatoes
here until the American farmers half a crop
of potatoes was bringing at least fifty cents
a bushel. That is, under the new tariff, the
American farmer is to have ten cents bushel
more than under the old law to console him
in unfav ora BILE seasons. Does this look like
legislation in behalf of the "robber barons %
We invite the careful attention of
our correspondent and his farmer
friends to the facts and figures here
set forth. They can hardly fail to be
convinced from such a showing as
this that the Mckinley bill has been
devised with extraordinary care to
protect their interests.

Vermonters in Chicago.

The fourteenth annual banquet of
the sons of Vermont, in Chicago.
was held last Friday at the AuditO-
rum hotel in that city. 1t was the
occasion of the one hundredth ami
versary of the admission of the
state of Vermont into the Union.
A large crowd, consisting of $50 la
dies and gentlemen from all over the
West. assembled at the banquet hall,
and sat down to one of the finest
dinners that was ever spread in the
West. The meeting was presided
over by Major John M. Southworth,
president of the association. A finer
looking assembly of ladies and gen
tlemen never graced a banQueting
hall. VermOnters in Chicago are
awake to the many interesting his
torical matters connected with their
native state. 1t is remarkable what
influence the Green Mountain boys
and girls have had in the Northwest.
Chicago is filed with enterprising
men and women who have left their
native state to seek their fortunes,
and it is said that the association
known as the Sons of Vermont is the
most prosperous and the most large
ly attended of any state association
in the country.
