To Town Committees.

In the year of national election
very important duties devolve upon
the town committee. The office is not
sinecure, or one of honor merely. In
the pending canvass, each of the presi-
dental nominees has held the presi-
dental office. Each is well known.
The issues are practically the same as
those presented in the canvass of four
years ago. Those issues were thor
oughly discussed at that time, and they
have since been the standing subject of
debate in congress, in the newspapers,
and in public assemblies. Very nat
urally there is wanting something of
the "razzle dazzle " of old campaigns,
under leaders that were new and with
issues that were fresh. 1t is more
campaign of sober, earnest work than
of music, of torchlights and of political
pyrotechnics. In campaign of this
kind, the town committee is leading
factor, and in fact in any campaign the
effective work, the work that counts in
majorities, is the work of the town
committee. That body of picked men
is expected to see that every school
district is carefully canvassed, that the
status of every voter is known, and
that arrangements are made and car
ried out for bringing voters to the polls
on election day. In this more than in
any former election, much will depend
on the activity and efficiency of the
members of this committee. In Wash
ington county the county and town
committees are working in unison.
System has been employed and organ
ization effected. 1t is now only som
four weeks to the day of the state cleo
ton. This organization should be
speedily perfected and the special work
of the town committees begun and
pushed forward with zeal and energy.
Vermont at her September election
makes her influence felt on the national
election. The size of her majority in
November is of no particular account.
The size of the September majority is
what has national political significance,
and to swell this majority is the main
end and object of the republican effort.
President Harrison is the first of presi-
dents to bestow upon Vermont the
honor due to her loyalty to republican
ism. In his administration, Vermo Mt
has been given front rank. Now, will
Vermonters signify their apprecia ton
of honOrs 80 graciOusly bestowed by
repeating in September the splendid
majority of four years ago? On the
town committees the answer to this
consideration very largely depends.

Senator PrOctOr's Speech.

A brief synopsis of the recent tariff
speech of Senator Proctor was given in
last weeks report of congressional
business. The speech, however, as it
appears in the verbatim report in the
Congressional Record, was such terse
and admirable presentation of the
cause of protection that every citizen
of this country should read it. We
give it below in full, emitting only the
newspaper interview referred to and
the few sentences with which it was
introduced. Senator Proctor said it
was not his purpose to reply to Senator
Carlisle's elaborate speech before the
latter said that the finance committee
of the senate had not investigated or
obtained any evidence in regard to the
comparative cost of living in Great
Britain and the United States. 1t was
upon this point of the cost of living in
the two countries that he submitted
the interview with j. H. Rogers, tin
plate manufacturer of Wales, whose
firm is to start up tin-plate factory in
this country in October. The senator
said he had received the paper contain
ing the interview the day before. After
the letter had been read, he addressed
the senate as follows:
This witness being English ought to be
accepted as good authority by our tariff
for-revenue-only or free trade friends. 1
hardly know which they prefer to be called.
Mr.. Rogers is the chairman of the tin-plate
makers association of Wales and 80 is, of
course, the highest possible authority on
tin-plate. He is also large business man,
and he speaks in this matter from prac-
teal standpoint, with common sense and
with a frankness that is almost brutal
towards his American allies. / wish to call
special attention to two or three points that
he makes. In answer to the question,
" Supposing Mr.. Cleveland were elected,
what do you think would be the effect of his
policy" he says 81 think the result would
be that the duties would be gradually low
cred, and that wages would consequently
fall, The working classes would, of course,
not be willing to remain without work, and
manufacturers would have to reduce wages
to enable them TO compete successfully with
other countries. Wages in America are at
present about double what they are here,
but if America adopted free trade they
would probably be reduced by one-half, and
become equal to the wages paid here. The
question of free trade or protection in
America is therefore Of far more Importance
to the working class Of America than IL is to
any class in this country" In regard to the
cost of living, he says "In America the
working class earn high wages at present

THE planet Mars was in opposition
last week-that is, it was nearer to the
earth than it could be while in any
other position. AS the nights were
generally clear, the astronomers had q
good opportunity to see what was to be
seen by the aid of powerful telescopes
Their observations were not rewarded
by anything that gave any positive
assurance that Mars is inhabited
astronomy has not reached degree Of
perfection, as yet, sufficient to do that.
What appeared to be snow was seen,
and there were objects having contours
which suggested that they might be
continents. Three great triangular
lights, also, were observed. These
suggested the theory that Mars is in
habited and that the people were trying
to signal us. This theory has started
the imaginations of those who delight
to speculate in the unknown. Pres
emily we shall undoubtedly have flood
of novels on life on Mars. The one
fact about the opposition that is firmly
established is that it was a beautiful
spectacle. -
A POLICE Judge at New Haven,
Conn, told some plain truths, last week,
in administering reproof to reporter
who had cast reflections in his paper
on the "picayune justice" of the court.
His honor said that, as a result of these
attacks, two officers of the court had
been attacked, and in one case fatality
was narrowly escaped. The case was
precisely the same as that Of the attack
on Mr.. Prick, which was undoubtedly
caused by the tolerance and quasi-en-
couragement of the previous disorders
at Homestead by papers, many of which
count themselves as reputable. The
Boston Record is case in point. Soon
after the riot, it made the remark that
ga little less triumphant democracy "
and more fair dealing with his help on
the part of Mr.. Carnegie would be in
good taste. The implication was that
Mr.. Carnegie had been grinding down
his men, whereas quite the opposite is
the truth. A weak-minded fellow like
Bergman would need nothing stronger
than such a paragraph to set his an
archistic soul on fire. The press at the
present time has a serious duty to per-
form, not merely to some political party
or to the country itself, but to society.
Whatever makes in the slightest degree
for lawlessness and violence should be
scrupulously avoided.

| to Vermonters and to residents of other
states. There is general description
of the state and its resources, and the
leading industries-such as quarrying,
horse and sheep raising, and dairying-
are referred to in considerable detail.
The attractions of the numerous sum-
mer resorts of the state, also, are told
with spirit which is proof itself that
Vermonters are not lacking in local
pride. Moreover, a list of desirable
farms that are for sale is given, and to
many at distance, who are thinking of
returning to the state or are for the
first time looking Vermont-ward for a
farm and home, this department of
the pamphlet will be perhaps the most
interesting of all.
But what is of the first significance
and satisfaction to the loyal men of the
state who have had their shoulder to
the wheel of progress for the past few
years is the resume of the results in
1891 of the official and private adver-
Using which the state has received.
These results have been referred to
previously by the WATERMAN, but
they will bear repeating more than
once. 1t is stated that 220 towns re.
ported that in 1891 1,746 farms had
been sold, and that of this number 252
were of the unoccupied class. The
town of Barnard headed the list, with
sale of fifty-two farms, of which
thirty-four were unoccupied." In the
course of the year, Sal 900 of capital
was invested in new manufacturing
plants, and in this direction Burlington
took the lead, with an investment of
S155,000, which gave employment to
$50 persons. These facts are strik-
ing commentary on the wisdom of the
course of the Board of Agriculture in
taking upon itself the work of adver-
Using the resources of the state. Re-
ferring to the progress made in 1891,
the board says: Though believing
that the state was making progress, the
board did not suppose that as much had
been and was being done to advance
its best interests as the report shows.
1t has also been noted, in the work of
the board among the people holding
institutes, that there has been very lit
tie discomfort or dissatisfaction mani
tested, but rather a hopeful, wide
awake, aggressive spirit, a disposition
to make the most of opportunities at
hand, which would indicate that the
work of the past year was to be kept
up and improved upon in the year to
come"
The hope of the board will be real
lied if proper advantage is taken of
the impetus which has already been
given to agriculture and the other in
dustries of the state. There should,
indeed, be more progress made in the
year 1892 than there was in 1891. But
it is well to remember that very much
depends on the cordial cooperation of
the people with the board. The board
leads the way in this enterprise; it is
the privilege of the rank and file of the
people to enthusiastically follow. 1t is
in this way alone that the state will
arrive at the measure of prosperity
which is hers if she will but have it.
The pamphlet is from the press of
the Waterman Publishing Company.

serves thanks for his determination in
allowing no lynching. He said he

fance of law the act is reassuring.

from Palos, Spain, on Wednesday of

four-hundreth anniversary of the be-

and that the batteries and ships had
saluted them, amid enthusiastic ac-

CONGRESS adjourned on Friday even
ing of last week. 1t has been a very
long session, if the work that has been
done is considered. Perhaps the two
things for which it ought to be chiefly
remembered are the attempt of the
house to remove the duties on wool,
binding Irvine and tin plate, and the
fact that $507 900, 900 has been devoted
to appropriations, against $463,000,000
by the first session of the republican
congress of two years ago, which was
called in derision by the democrats
" the billion-dOllar congress-" Yet the
house was not willing to give the Column
bian Exposition more than $4,000, 900,
and it groaned over that amount.

IN the sundry civil appropriation bill,
passed last week by congress, is pro-
vision for the Vermont military post.
1t will be remembered that the house
refused to suspend the rules and pass
separate bill which would have estab-
lished the post. 1t required two
thirds vote to suspend the rules, and
although majority favored the bill,
the vote did not reach the two-thirds
mark. Congressman Grout is un-
doubtedly entitled to much credit for
his efforts in behalf of the measure. 1t
is to Senator Proctor, however, that
the post is really due, as he pointed out
the necessity for it while he was sec
