Mrs. Hyde, who has spent the summer
here, has returned to her home in South
Dakota, taking her mother, Mrs Joseph
Banks, with her.
The property of the George Banks estate
was sold at auction, the 18th inst. Hay sold
at $3.50 to So 90 per ton; potatoes, twenty TO
twenty cents in the cellar; cows, SIT to
S28 each. The farm OF 100 acres of good
land, with buildings better than the aver
age, but in a retired location, was sold to
j. M Richardson for $780, but even that is
probably considerable better than it would
have sold one or two years ago.
Sneak thieves have been troublesome
about here the present season. Several
families have had their pork. barrels relieved

also suffered. Johnson Moulton's family

pursue their chosen vocation of pilfering

Farmers are rejoicing generally over
bountiful crops. Grain when threshed meets

the time of cutting. Corn was very uneven

Blaine and the Mckinley Bill.

The democratic papers in Ohio have
been trying the dodge of representing
that there is a radical difference of
opinion in the republican party as to
the Mckinley tariff. They have charged
that Secretary Blaine is not a believer
in it, and, to make the proof of their
assertion complete, they have kept this
familiar remark of the secretary stand
ing in their editorial columns: But
there is not section in the entire bill
that will open a market for another
bushel of wheat or another barrel of
pork" The misrepresentation was 80
unjust to one who has been indefati-
gable in preaching the wisdom of pro-
lection that he has addressed letter to
an Ohio editor on the subject. The
letter is one OF those forceful utter
ances for which the secretary is noted
1t transforms the remark quoted above
into a boomerang of the first order.

written on July II, 1890, while the
tariff law was in process of construc-
ton. When it was finally passed in
September, the reciprocity clause had
been inserted, and some very extern
sive markets for wheat and pork had
practically been secured. The details
of treaty-making came later, and Mr..
Blaine sums them up in the following
clear and definite statement: Brazil
some months since entered into a
treaty by which many American articles
are admitted free. Flour is admitted
free, and pork is admitted at nominal
duty. Cuba and Porto Rico have re-
duced the duty on flour from $3.50 q
barrel to $10O (Which gives us the

Farmers League Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Vermont Far
mers' League was held at Capital hall yes
terday. The meeting was called last week
by the secretary, who waited as long as
possible to hear from the president, who
has been in New York for some months
The time between the day on which the call
was issued and the day of the meeting was
too short for the necessary amount of. adj
vertising, and that fact and the rain united
to make the attendance very small. Hardly
dozen persons were present. Congress-
men Grout and Powers and other speakers
were on hand, but it was thought advisable
not TO have any speaking. The executive
committee met in the morning and made
several important changes in the constitu-
ton, which were subsequently approved by
the league. The principal of these was
that by which the Vermont league is
hereafter to be Independent. The dis
solution of the national league has made
this action necessary. The county leagues
are abolished, so that now there are but two
units, the town and state leagues. Another
important change is that which permits
workers of industrial classes other than
the farming class to become members of the
league. The initiation fee for local leagues
has been reduced from fifty to twenty-five
cents. The committee on resolutions re-
ported resolutions reafiirming the platform
of June 3, welcoming to membership all
workers who are in sympathy with the
movement, and who promise to cooperate in
promoting the objects of the league, stating
that reform from unjust and unequal legs,
ton is sought through existing parties, en-.
dorsing the extension of free postal deliv.
cry to the rural districts, and commencing
the immediate organization of local leagues
These resolutions were adopted. The fol
lowing officers were elected: President
George p. Beard of St. Adams; vice. presi
dents, p. S. Chamberlain of Bradford and
G. d. Whitman of Brattleboro; treasurer
o. K. Stone of Charlotte; secretary, j. A
Chaplin of Middlesex. These Off ers will
constitute the executive committee.

President Harrison.

General H. V. Boynton, the distin-
tinguished Washington correspondent,
contributes to the Century an interest
ing article on " The Press and Public
Men," Referring to the relations of
the press to the various administrations,
he says
"Of President Harrison it is emphatically
true that he has seriously suffered from his
reluctance to have the prominent and infiu-
entail part which he has exercised over
public affairs from the first days of his ad-
mnistration made known through the press.
While no question of public policy has en-
gagged the attention of congress since he
took the oath of Office in which he has not
taken personal and active interest, and in
which he has not been signally influential
in shaping results, this fact throughout the
first two years Of his administration was
known to but few, and these never felt
themselves at liberty to comment freely upon
the subject. Hence it resulted that, until a
very recent date, the impression has been
widespread in the country-an impression
which dissatisfied public men have not been
slow to encourage-that President Harrison
simply sat quietly in his Office exercising
the routine duties OF an executive, without
much further effort in the direction of
originating and shaping the public policy
on those grave questions of national con-
Germ which have been so numerous through
out his administration. This false impress
sion, shared so widely by the press of the
country, has not resulted from any reti-
cence on his part in talking with its repre-
sentatives, for they always find ready access
to him, and such as he has learned to trust
invariably find him free talker upon all
questions of public policy, but it has arisen
| from the undue reluctance which he has
exhibited from the first to have his own
part in public affairs made the subject of
free discussion. OF late there has been a
wholesome change in this respect, which
has resulted at once in its becoming gen.
orally known that in every prominent ques-
ton of party policy President Harrison has
been from the beginning of his administra-
ton most active, intelligent and infuen-
tial promoter of the results that have been
attained"
! ulo 10 d Wow VI tuC plOoi'
dent and merited tribute to an un-
assuming executive, performing his
duties quietly and without ostentation,
taking leading and directing part in
an administration that is one of the
wisest, the cleanest, the most successful,
the most advantageous to the American
people of any that has for generation
been installed at Washington. AS a
matter of wisdom and safety, as a mat
ter of mere policy, the republican party
can hardly fail to make this man its
standard-bearer in the next national
campaign. So it appears at this dis
lance from the time of the opening OF
the canvass, and events will, we be-
lieve, make this clearer as the time for
decisive action draws nearer.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-10-21

markeD, besides putting nearly one
hundred articles of American produc-
ton on the free list. San Domingo has
made reciprocity treaty, with -four
and pork on the free list, besides a
large number of other articles. Other
treaties for reciprocity are in progress.
Germany, without negotiating formal
treaty, has removed the prohibition on
pork, and our government, in con-
sideration thereof, left her sugar on the
free list. This opens to us an entirely
new market, and Sl5,000,000 to $780,
000, 900 of American pork will be con-
sumed per annum, where not a pound
has been taken for ten years. The
reciprocity provision is proving very
successful, especially in farm products,
and more particularly in the case of the
two articles mentioned in the para
graphs quoted-hour and pork. / am
not, therefore, an opponent of the
Mckinley bill, as the democratic pa
pers of Ohio are constantly alleging.
On the contrary, have cordially sup
ported it ever since it was perfected"
Some persons affect to be unable to
understand how reciprocity treaty
can be consistent with the protective
policy, but they are either insincere or
have not given the subject much
thought. The protective policy does
not involve the prohibition of all inn
ports. 1t aims to protect what in this
country needs, or is likely to need,
protection. 1t wishes to import large
quantities of products which cannot be
produced in sufficient quantity here,
but it does not propose to allow these
importations to be made freely and re-
gardless of our interests as whole.
If there are certain articles, like sugar
for instance, which we must obtain
from abroad, the policy of protection
does not invite all the producers of the
world to pour their supplies upon US to
the injury of our own producers and
without giving some equivalent for the
privilege. On the contrary, it makes a
trade with Germany, as Mr.. Blaine has
pointed out, by which the beet sugar
Of that country is admitted free, in con-
sideration of market for our pork.
We protect ourselves by making a
bargain which is mutually advantage
Gus. When two countries enter into a
reciprocity treaty they know exactly
what they are about, and each thinks ii
is benefited. 1t is wholly different
operation from opening ports to what
ever foreign country chooses to send
In one case there is conscious aud in.
telligent regulation; in the other there
is stupid Indifference to opportunities
for securing substantial benefits.
