THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Harrisons message TO Con-
gress was submitted on Tuesday. 1t is a
substantial and statesmanlike document,
and, what is not always the case, reada-
BILE. He begins by reviewing the condi-
ton of the country, which he regards as
prosperous in all its interests, and adds :
81 believe that the protective system,
which has now for something more than
30 years continuously prevailed in our
legislation, has been mighty instrument
for the development of our national
wealth and a most powerful agency In
protecting the homes of our workingmen
from the invasion of want"
The result of the recent election he as
sumes indicates that the protective poll
cy is to be abandoned, "and that there Is
to be substituted for it a tariff law con-
structed solely with reference to revenue
that no duty is to be higher because the
increase will keep open an American mill
or keep up the wages of an American
workman, but that in every case such a
rate of duty is to be imposed as will bring

OEE The IRON.

Two cars of the north-bound sleeper
were derailed near North Ferrisburgh
station about 4 80 o'clock on Wednesday
morning, and seven passengers were
more or less hurt, none, however, dan
gerously.
The train was made up of six cars,
next to the last being the Wagner Sleep
er Alva. This and the passenger coach
in front of it went off the rails and land
ed in the ditch, after rolling down 15-
foot embankment. The cause of the
accident was the breaking of a tire on a
wheel of the car Alva. The passenger
coach was smashed beyond repair, but
the sleeper can be made to do duty again.
There were six men and one woman
among the injured. All except the lat
ter, Mrs. Mulqueen of Burlington, be-
longed out of the State. Their hurts
consist of cuts and bruises. The track
was promptly cleared and no particular
delay to traffic was caused.

Captain E. II. Virgil, who died in
Troy on Sunday, established the first ex-
press line between Albany and Montreal,
in 1871. The route was through Troy,
Salem, CastletOn, Middlebury, Burling-
ton and ST. Albans. The venture proved
profitable and the route was extended to
New York. Then transportation by
stage was abandoned for the greater part
of the way in summer and the matter
was carried on boats. He was the
founder of the National Express COM

WILL THEY2

If the people of this State are willing
to submit to ''riug" rule any longer, the
writer of this is much mistaken. The
key to the situation is held by the young
men, and with them rests the responsible
ity of doing the thing suggested by The
Republican,. We can do it if we will.
Some one is going to take the initiative
step. Shall it be the young men? AS
long as the people are totally ignored in
the nominations of our rulers, so long
will the Republican majority of the ban
ner State of Republicanism continue to
dwindle. and before many years will
dwindle into Democratic majority.
Who are to blame? Is it the people who
will not vote for men they know to be
unfit for these offices, or is 1t the ''rng"
who grind out our governors for us, and
force us by the arts known to Il pOlltic-
ian and make it seem to be the pt ople's
choice? Such methods can continue on
ly Il little while longer, and they must
go, and we, the young men of Vermont,
will start them going.
Thus writes correspondent of the
st. Johnsbury Republican, whose soul
has evidently been stirred by that papers
appeals to the youth to bounce the "old
FOUNDERS, as it calls them, of the Re-
publican party of the State.
Theoretically this may be fine thing
to do, but the betting man can stake his
dollars with entire safety on the non-ful-
filment of any such programme. 1t will
turn out two years hence just as it did in
this year of grace. Some person of no
especial fitness for the governorship will
get himself mentioned, his agents will
''see" certain newspapers, which will
forthwith begin to howl for him as the
only man in the commonwealth who has
desirable qualities. There will presently
spring up boom for him in every little
town, and when the convention comes
there will be enough delegates, secured
by hook or crook, to nominate him
whether the people as whole want him
or not.
The fact has been and is that the people
have nothing to say about whom they will
have for officials, and that because the
managers are too much for them. There
is and long has been wheel within
wheel, or, to state the Case more accurate
ly, ring within the party, that runs the
party in spite of itself. And this thing
will go on till counter organization is
formed to buck against, and, if it can, to
defeat the machine now so potent.
The young men cannot effect change
by kicking and screaming, for the ma
chine cares nothing about that. If they
would succeed, they must organize
machine of their own

THE DEADLY COAL STOVE.
THE NARROW ESCAPE OF A BRIDPOl

THE NARROW ESCAPE OF BRIDPORT
COUPLE.
The village of Bridport was thrown in
to great excitement on Monday last by
the announcement that Mr.. and Mrs.
Elijah Grovenor, residents of the village,
had been found asphyxiated from coal
gas. At about 0 a. m. Mrs. w. l..
Wheeler, who lives next door, seeing no
stir in the formers residence, started out
to investigate, and, failing to gain ad-
mittance at the regular entrance, went to
the window of the sleeping room, which
is on the ground floor, and saw that the
couple were yet in bed. She was unable
to arouse them, and, summOning other
neighbors, they went into the house and
at once discovered the cause of the pro-
tracted sleep of the inmates, the gas
from the coal stove being so dense as to
be nearly suffocating. The couple were
found unconscious and in very precar-
ious condition; and 1t is stated by ply
sicans who were soon upon the scene
that had they been left alone short time
longer life would have been extinct
as appearances went to show that the fl
nal struggle had passed. With fresh air
and assistance from the doctors they
were soon in fair way to recovery, but
was not fully restored un-
til about noon, and they did not regain
full possession of their faculties till the
afternoon. They are now nearly recover
ed, but are yet quite weak.
The stove-pipe was found to be filled
with SCOT, shutting of the escape OF

The Democratic brethren will, perhaps,
think the president is indulging in sarcasm
when he says: If system of customs
duties can be framed that will set the idle
wheels and looms of Europe in motion
and crowd our warehouses with foreign-
made goods and at the same time keep
our own mills busy; that will give us an
increased participation in the markets
of the world of greater value than the
home market we surrender; that will
give increased work to foreign workmen
upon products to be consumed by our
people without diminishing the amount
of work to be done here; that will enable
the American manufacturer to pay to his
workmen from fifty to hundred per
cent more in wages than is paid in the
foreign mill and yet to compete in our
uarket and in foreign markets with the
foreign producer; that will further reduce
the cost of articles of wear and food with
out reducing the wages of those who pro-
duce them that can be celebrated, after its
effects have been realized, as its expecta-
ton has been, IN European as well as in
American cities, the authors and promot-
ers of it will be entitled to the highest
praise
But that the president does not at
heart believe such results as are supposed
in the last paragraph quoted will follow
is apparent from what he next says: ave
have had in our history several expert
ences of the contrasted effects of a
revenue and of protective tariff; but
this generatian has not felt them, and
the experience of one generation is not
highly instructive to the next. The
friends of the protective system, with
undminished confidence in the principles
they have advocated, will await the re-
suits of the new experiment"
The remainder of the message is occu-
pied largely with the usual abstracts of
department reports.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The legislature has abolished the
little pittance paid newspapers for pub
fishing the laws. We shall not publish
them for nothing, If all our subscribers
get hung for violating them Wood
stock Age.
Ye who find fault because a typograph-
ical error occasionally creeps into your
daily paper. consider this: In Harper's
Magazine tor December appears this
astounding sentence: 'The great mass
of Christian literature is no longer be-
lieved." What Charles Dudley Warner
wrote was "Christmas literature."- St.
Johnsbury Republican.
If the newspapers furnish their read
ers supplements containing the laws
hereafter, they will do it at their own
expense. The legislature could subsi-
die the earth, and, in the case of the
house of correction, appropriate a
thousand dollars to build fence around
it, but they evidently did not care to
have the people know what they had
been DOING Hardwick Gazette.

divided. BY the great majority he has
long been viewed as the incarnation of
all that Is evil and mischievous In his
sphere of activity, and his removal will,
therefore. be hailed as a blessing. A
smaller number. equally alive to his
faults, will also remember his financial
ability, his enterprise. and the splendid
services which he has rendered the
country in developing its material re-
sources and increasing the productive
ness of its industry. With the cessation
of his ilnpellng energy they apprehend
Il slackening of the onward movement,
if not the possible failure, of various
schemes, which if he had lived TO carry
them on, would have proved highly use
full to the general prosperity.
1t was Mr.. Gould's misfortune to have
surpassed the crowd of men by whom
he was surrounded and with whom he
had his dealings, not in audacious un-
scrupulOusness, but in skill and III sue
cess. The character of the business
in which they are all engaged calls into
exercise, by its nature, unlovely traits
of character, and encourages the use of
artifices which a sound moralist cannot
approve. Many things that Mr.. Gould
did injured his reputation, chiefly be-
cause he did them on large scale, and
to the hurt of numerous victims. The
like has been as often done by others,
without their ncurring oblOquy, mere
ly because of the comparative pettiness
of their offence. This, of course, does
not excuse Mr.. Gould, but in justice it
should silence the clamOr of many who
have been his most virulent assailants.
We have little hope that the lesson
taught by Mr.. Gould's career and
by the memory that he leaves behind
him will be needed by those to whom it
ought to be chiefly useful. They will
see only that he has succeeded in what
they most desire-the amassing of a
great fortune-and they will encounter
the risk of II reputation like his, provid-
ed only it shall be accompanied by the
same compensation. Poor human ma
ture!

AN INTERESTING PROBLEM.

1t is conceded by President Harrison as
|ell as by the most thoroughly informed
|embers of the Republican party, and it
claimed by the leaders Of the Demo-
lacy. that the verdict of the people of
e United States as expressed at the
Pills last month Is against continuance
the high-tariff policy. During the
mpaign which lately closed it was as
'rted by every Democratic speaker and
gan that when their party obtained
ntrOl duties would be reduced to a
fictly revenue basis. The country,
en-, looks to the Democracy for
eedy and radical reduction of the
ties which that party's doctrines con-
mn as burden. But how they are to
complish this exceedingly desirable
d-provided protection is the curse
by picture it's not so easy to COM
ehend in fact, it seems to bother them
/ little.
The report of the treasurer of the
bited States for the year ended June 30
t shows that the total revenues of the
vernment were about S426 900. 900,
er Sl77,000,000 of which was from
stoms duties. The total expenditures
ceeded $4l5, 100000, of which sum
re than Sl34 100000 went for the pay
mt of pensions. The appropriation for
hsions for the current fiscal year is
A ,956, 200, and Commissioner Raum
Is there will be deficiency of over
100000. For next year Mr.. Raum
nks Sl65, 900, 900 will be required to pay
bsions. The situation in substance is
b: Forty per cent of the present
enues of the government will be need

ed, the government will run in debt

ses of the government can be cut

will be somewhat more aged than
are before they solve practically
