Free Silver Demanded.

The democrats of the senate demand
free silver coinage. AT least, they have
voted for and passed bill which pro-
vides for unrestricted silver coinage.
There is no use in denying that these
representative and influential democrats
are willing to take whatever risk is in
volved in opening the minis of the
United States to the silver of the world.
These gentlemen may have excellent
reasons for taking their positions, but
that that position is one in favor of free
silver is as plain as pikestaff. Figures
will sometimes appear to lie, but the
vote of last Friday cannot by any twist
ing be made to mean anything but a
demand for free coinage.
Fifty-four votes were cast, and twenty
niue were yeas and twenty-five nays.
OF the twenty-nine in favor of the
Stewart free coinage substitute, two
were cast by third party men, eleven
by republicans, and sixteen by demo-
Gratis. Over half of the yea vote was
cast by straight democrats. Twenty
five votes were recorded against the
bill, and of these eighteen, or over two
thirds, were cast by republicans, while
the democracy of the senate rallied to
the cause of sound money to the extent
of sevenl This was the actual vote,
but in the sixteen pairs it is understood
that there were thirteen democrats and
three republicans who favored free coin
age, while thirteen republicans and
three democrats opposed it. The real
record of the parties in the senate
should therefore be: In favor of free
coinage-third party men, two; repub-
licans, fourteen; democrats, twenty.
nine. Against free coinage-demo-
Gratis, ten; republicans, thirty-one.

Reciprocity Not Desirable.


President Harrison recently sent to
the senate message in which he gives
it as his opinion that reciprocity with
Canada, while the latter is in its pres
ent position of dependence on Great
Britain, is undesirable. He says:
The result of the conference, as to the
practicability of arranging a reciprocity
treaty with the Dominion of Canada is
clearly stated in the letter of Mr.. Blaine,
and was anticipated, / think, by him and
every thoughtful American who has con-
sidered the subject A reciprocity treaty
limited to the exchange of natural products
would have been such only in form. The
benefits of such treaty would have Injured
almost wholly to Canada. Previous expert
ments on this line have been unsatisfactory
to this government A treaty that should
be reciprocal in fact and of mutual adj
vantage, must necessarily have embraced
an important list of manufactured articles
and have secured to the United States a
free or favored Introduction of these arti-
cles into Canada as against the world; but
it was not believed that the Canadian min
istry was ready to propose or assent to such
an arrangement.
In taking this decided stand, the pres
ident deserves the cordial approval of
the northern frontier states. The fear
of any sort of reciprocity with Canada
has caused certain uneasiness among
the farmers of these states, who would
have everything to lose and nothing to
gain by it. The experience of the last
period of reciprocity was not reassur-
ing. Doubtless manufacturers would
gain through extended markets, and,
doubtless, under permanent policy of
complete reciprocity, Vermont would
share in their prosperity, because the
state would be highway to the north,
and manufacturing industries would
spring up more rapidly here than they
have; but under the form of reciprocity
proposed, this state would probably
have been little benefited, and the coun-
try as whole would hardly be enough
better off to compensate for the injury
that would be done the agricultural
communities of the frontier. In place
of reciprocity, the president recon-
mends a policy of retaliation because
the Canadian government insists on
continuing its discrimination by which
a rebate of eighteen cents ton is al.
lowed upon grain passing through
Canadian canals, and then going tc
Montreal, but not to American ports
and refusing the rebate to grain going
to Montreal if it is afterwards trans
shipped to American ports. There i;
nothing negative about the administra

The Democratic Tariff Plank.

By an inadvertence we gave last
week in the report of the Chicago con-
vention the tariff plank which was re-
ported by the committee but was SUBJ
sequently replaced in the convention it.
self by the tariff for-revenue only"
plank proposed by Mr.. Neal of Ohio.
The mistake gives US the opportunity
this week to bring the statement of the
convention on the subject more promi-
nently to the attention of the readers
of the WATCHMAN. The latter may
thus better understand what is to be
expected of the democratic party if it
should happen to carry the next cleo
ton. The plank reads as follows
We denounce republican protection as a
fraud, a robbery of the great majority of
American people for the benefit of few.
We declare it to be fundamental principle
Of the democratic party that the federal gov
eminent has no constitutional power to en-
force and collect tariff duties except for the
purpose of revenue only, and demand that
the collection shall be limited to the neces-
stiles of the government honestly and
economically administered. We denounce
the Mckinley tariff law enacted by the
Fifty-frst Congress as the eliminating
atrocity of class legislation; we indorse the
efforts made by the democrats of the present
congress to modify its most oppressive feat
ures in the direction of free raw materials
l,l,1 IL, ~,
into general consumption; and we promise
its repeal as one of the beneficent results
that will follow the action of the people in
entrusting power to the democratic party.
Since the Mckinley tariff went into opera
ton there have been ten reductions of the
wages of laboring men to one increase We
deny that there has been any increase of
prosperity to the country since that tariff
went into operation, and we point to the
dizziness and distress, the wage reductions
and strikes in the iron trade as the best
possible evidence that no such prosperity
has resulted from the Mckinley act. We
call the attention of thoughtful Ameri ans
to the fact that after thirty years of restrict
i've taxes against the importation of foreign
wealth in exchange for our agricultural sur
plus, the homes and farms of the country
have become burdened with a real estate
mortgage debt of over $3.50 900, 900, exclu-
sive of all other forms of Indebtedness that
in one of the chief agricultural states of the
West there appears real estate mortgage
debt averaging 1888 per capita of the total
population, and that similar conditions and
tendencies are shown to exist in the other
agricultural exporting states. We denounce
policy which fosters no industry so much
as it does that OF the sheriff.
The democracy is to be congratulated
on its recently acquired frankness on
the tariff issue, but its veracity and
logic hardly deserve the same treat
ment. When it arraigns the republic

lection, and declares it to be a funda-
mental principle of the democratic
party that the federal government has

Horse Notes.

ELECTRICITY superseded about thirty
thousand street-car horses in 1891.
FRANK FELT is quartered at Waterbury
track, with Seth, and is giving his big bay
gelding fast work.
CHARLES KEENE's brown gelding Snyder
went mile in 2:36, last quarter in thirty
six seconds, recently.
YELLOW Dock, owned by f. ii. Town, is
reported to have gone quarter recently in
twenty-seven seconds-a 2. % clip.
DON'T forget the colt stakes at Waterbury,
September 49, IA and 10. One, two and
three-year-olds, all well-flled, and will be
trotted for blood.

now in Seth Jones' hands, is having very
successful season, and his stock proves
him to be tirst.class sire.
ALBERT LovEJoY of Moretown is working
III. IL. Chipman's yearling and two-year-
old. If Lovejoy rides behind all the time
with that pair he had better give up horse
driving.
SETH JONES is giving his two two-year-
Odds, by George Lambert, good care, and he
thinks he holds first mortgage ON the two
year old race; but Seth must keep his eyes
open and look out for " Headlight"
H.. CHIpMAN's (Waitsfeld, VT elegant
bay stallion, Auctioneer, Jr, is taking big
lead in business in Mad River Valley, and
is proving himself to be one of the best
sires ever in that part of the country.
SETH JONES has a five-year-old black
gelding in training, owned by G. b. Evans
perfectly green, that showed his ability
after two weeks training to go quarters in
thirty-seven seconds. Seth is sure to give
him a fast mark.
HENRY S. Town, proprietor of Elm Park
farm, is working three colts for Waterbury
stake races. They are all sired by Engi-
neer. We had the pleasure of seeing them
worked out, recently, and whoever beats
them will needs go along some.
JOHN SPLAN has the greatest stable of
trotters of any man in the country. He is
the man who wrote III. S. Town that he
could give Engineer race record below
2: 20 in 1891. This after he had given him
an easy mile in q 81 in his work before he
had had him sixty days.
AXLE, the two-year. son of Axtell,
2: II at three years old, went an easy one
fourth mile on the 9th instant, at Terre
Haute, Ind, in 34f seconds last eighth in
1911 seconds. He wears five ounce shoes
forward and three and half ounces behind.
1t is thought he will beat all two-year-old
records before snow flies.

best one-half mile track in Vermont and

he has been almost continuously in the
diplomatic service, having been minis
ter to Mexico, Russia and Spain. Since
1885 he has been connected with the
state department in Washington more
or less closely, and his assistance in ne
gotiating commercial treaties has been
invaluable. His appointment is good
precedent, for if long service and fa-
miliarity with details are called for any
where in public life it is in the state
department.
HON. w. H. Dubois of West Ran
dolph has been nominated to the next
state senate by the republicans of Orange
county. The nomination is an excel
lent one for the people of "Old Orange"
and for the state at large. Mr.. Dubois
is we'll known as the efficient state
treasurer for many years. Besides be-
ing an accomplished financier, he is
man of affairs, familiar by long and
varied experience with the business of
the state and country. He is man of
sound judgment, of rectitude of pur-
pose, wisely progressive, clear in his
convictions and steadfast in his adher-
ence to what he believes to be the right.
He is the right kind of man for sena-
tor. We note with pleasure, also, the
nomination of Homer w. Vail of Pom
fret to the senate, by the republicans of
Windsor county. He is bright man,
fine specimen of the intelligent, think
ing Vermont farmer, believes in YER
mont, believes in Vermont farming and
shows his faith by his works, and his
abilities by his success in his work. He
has been for many years a member of
the Board of Agriculture, and is treas
urer of the Vermont Dairymen's Asso-
citation. He is the right kind of man
for senator. In the younger ranks of
men, Colonel Fletcher d. Proctor has
won by his demonstrated capacity his
title to the nomination Rutland county
has given him. In the management of
extensive business affairs and as repre-
sentative in the existing legislature, he
has fairly won his spurs, and he wears
them by a title he can himself abun-
dainty defend. He is the right kind of
man for senator. If the nominations
in general rank with these, Vermont
will have the right kind of senate in
1892. We happen to know these gen.
tlemen, and in speaking of them no in
vidious distinction in respect of other
nominations is made or intended. We
trust they are all, all honorable men,"
and not in the ironical sense lurking
in Anthony's memorable tribute to Bru-
tus and his confederates. Vermontne
this year strong senate and strong
house-strong in brain power and
strong in the capacity and willingness
to do the right thing for the state.
