VermOnt'S Direct Tax.

The attorney general has forward
ed to the treasury department his
opinion In reference to the question
arising under the claim made by the
State of Vermont for her share of the
direct tax authorized to be refunded
by an act of the last congress.
The State Of Vermont is entitled
to SITS, 409.S0 as her share of the
direct tax. When her claim was pre-
sented at the treasury it was discov-
cred that a charge against the State
in the department that had never
been audited or settled at the treas
ury for about twice the amount of
her direct tax claim was still unset
tied. This charge was for arms, am
munition and military stores furnish
ed the State during the rebellion.
The question was referred to attorney
general for his opinion, which was rem
dered Saturday. He holds that the
State is entitled to receive her share
of the direct tax, notwithstanding
the charge against her.
While the war was in progress a
raid was made from Canada into YER
mont by southern sympathizers,
then residing in Canada, and congre-
gated there in large numbers. The
town OF st. Adams was entered, and
public and private property was in
discriminatory destroyed. The whole
State was thrown into alarm. The
design of this raid manifestly was to
compel the national government to
withdraw a part of their forces fl ON
the front in order to defend its rear
at the north. The Vermont authori-
ties appealed to the national govern
ment, and President Lincoln and Sec
rotary Stanton ordered the governor
to call out the state militia, promis-
ing to supply him with necessary arms
and munitions of war. Twelve regi-
ments of infantry were raised, and
the State was for a time practically
under martial law. For some time
the present secretary of war, then
General Proctor, was in command,
and Senator Edmunds was enlisted
as private, and carried his eanteen
with him. The State expended about
5000, 900 in raising and maintaining
this force OF troops, of which sumnot
one dollar has ever yet been paid by
the federal government. AS against
the charge for arms furnished by the
national government. this money ex-
pended by the State of Vermont is a
set-off
The attorney general holds, in brief
that the furnishing of arms to the
State was simply the performance of
plain duty resting on the federal gov
eminent to protect all gifts territory
rom invasion, and that the money
value of the arms cannot he set up |
against the claim of the State under |
jhe act directing the refunding of the |
iirect tax; that the furnish q of arms
10 the State did not in itself, under
my statue, have the effect of making
he money change dnder the particu-
ar circumstance. This opinion ap-
,lied to no other State against which
barge are entered.

on any quantity of Salt that may
be ordered up to 5000 pounds.
This would bring the price, freight

TO THE

1t has incidentally come to
my knowledge that you oc-
casionally make complaints
because of the small sums re-
ceived for your Dairy skins.
The fault is your own, for if
you would take them off and
properly care for them you
would rarely find a skin that
would bring you less than so
cents, and great many of
them would bring you 60,
70 and even SO cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter,
are poor property and bring
poor price. 1t will cost you

The Republicans of Ohio did at
their convention last week what had
for long time been expected-made
VIM. Mckinley their standard bearer
in the coming gubernatoriaI cam
paign. Major Mckinley is a man of
high character, thorough American
ism, and intellectual leadership. He
Is a strong believer in the principles
OF American protection, strongly op-
posed to the opening of our doors
Tor the free entrance of those foreign
products or manufactures which can
be produced at home. He be-
heves in admitting on low tariff
those things-and a great many onno
tariff-which make up the necessary
commodities of life and which can
not be produced here. Another fact
which we think will not be overlooked
by the people of the Buckeye State
IN The present campaign, is that of
"5ONuo SelI Aldluef Dy
which Major Mckinley was cheated
out Of his seat in Congress. They
will administer a fitting rebuke to
that party which so carved up his
district as to make it impossible to
elect any other than a Democrat
The selection is in all respects a most
excellent one and we believe that
Ohio will elect the plucky Major Nc
Kinley for its next Governor, and
that everyone who likes manliness
and aggressive, honest politics, such
as he represents, will say that Ohio
has done well.

AMERICAN TINA San Francisco
despatch to New York Tribune saws
Seven tons OF pig iron from the Tenn
escal mines arrived in this city and
are now for salem open market. This
is an indefinite step, making success
tul developments for a new American
industry, as a direct result of thep
sage of the Mckinley bill. In a few
mo Iths the Temescal mine will be
abundantly able to supply the Amer
lean market. This home market.
too, is about to develop largely
through the establishment of tin
plate factories in the east. which will
become customers of California tin.
Considerable correspondence about
this supply has been exchanged be-
tween h. M. Robinson, manager. of
the mines, and eastern tin plate man
ufacturers. The mines in question
have been shown to be the richest in
the world, and their future produc-
ton will be limited only by the mar
let. For several months experiments
10 determine the best kind of machin-
cry and furnaces have been going on
at the mines. Five stamp mills and
three or four other kinds of furnaces
to try the experiment of using oil in
stead of coal for fuel were put in.
The oil furnaces have been successful.
1T has been shown that the work can
be done with oil in half the time re-
CURED with coal. Large stamp mills,
furnaces, ETC., are in progress of cree
ton now, an emmense establishment
will soon be completed. According to
the present plans, a year hence the
mines will be capable of turning out
$500 tons of tin a year, with a great
capacity for increasing this produc-
ton.

Seaver is the professor of athletics

tobacco upon the students for eight
years. He finds that the smokers
have less vigor physically and less
ability mentally than those who do
not indulge. He estimates that they
have less lung power, also, and knows
that they have not as great height
nor as heavy weight The students
who are smokers he has also observ-
ed to be markedly less vigorous in
nerve and muscle. intellectually. too
he believes the college men who do
not smoke to have the advantage.
Among the juniors who have received
appointments within a given time,
3 per cent only We're smokers, in fact
the smokers received very f4w ap-
pointments of any kind. OF the SEN
ior college class he finds that 70
per cent do not smoke; neither do
the leading athletics, nor the can

regarding the baccarat scandal very
forcibly and sensibly when he said :
Not a man or a woman connected
with the baccarat case came out
with the slightest honor. Without
disputing the verdict it is impossible
not to feel that Sir William Gordon
Cumming was very meanly used, and
not the least by those chiefly respon-

about cheating when the game itself
is complete fraud?" This is about

The FARMERS HOME MARKET
1t seems to me self-evident that pro-
lection tends to shorten the distance
between the farmer and artisan or
manufacturer, hence to diminish the
cost of exchanging their respective
products, and thus to secure to the
farmer not only sIrer and steadier
markets for bis produce, but an am
pier recomperse for his labors. Such
are conclusions that long ago made
me a protectionist. Europe has de
ficient harvests one year and buys
grain OF us quite freely, but next year
her harvests are bounteous, and she
requires very little more food than
she produces, no matter how freely
we may buy of her fabrics. Hence
our wheat now sells very far below
the prices which ruled here when
Europe has meagre harvest. A re-
mote market virtually restricts the
farmer to two or thee great staples,
while near markets enable him to di-
versify his products and thus increase
the productive capacity of the SOIL
