The decrease in importations of farm prod
ucts thus amounts 10 81 GS3, 07S. There
has been no dearth Of these articles in the
markets OF New England and Northern New
York. The difference in the two periods is
this, that now the American farmers are
supplying the markets to a much larger ex-
tent than before. Tho two millions OF
money that has come into the pockets of
American farmers in this section of the
United States, more than would have come
if the Mckinley tariff had not been enact
ed, makes pretty substantial argument in
favor of the party and tho policy which is
protecting their industry.
Alexander Hamilton was a great states
man. He is called the father of American
protection. In famous report to Con-
gress he demonstrated to his own satisfac-
ton and that of thousands OF wise and can
did statesmen of his own day and Of the gen.
erations which have followed him, that the
exertions OF the husbandman will be
steady or tluctuating, vigorous or feeble, in
proportion to the steadiness or huctuation,
adequnteness or inadequateness of the mar
kets on which he must rely for tho vent Of
the surplus which may be produced by his
labor, and, that for the purpose Of this
vent domestic market is greatly to
preferred to a foreign one because it is in
the nature of things far more to be relied
upon" that it is the policy of nations to be
supply themselves with subsistence from
their own soil. That in foreign markets
the interruptions of the demand for agri-
cultural supplies are liable to occur to a
very injurious extent That from natural
causes the external demand for 1.-THE sur
plus of agricultural nations" is "a precar-
ious reliance" That ''to secure such a
market there is no other expediert than to
promote manufacturing establishments.
Under the Mckinley tariff the American
farmer is finding and supplying the domes-
tic market for his products. He is no long
err crippled by the competition of cheap
Canadian labor His great industry is
steadily becoming more stable and profit
able. And he has to thank the republican
party for tho improvement in his condi-
| ton,

Mr.. Gladstone as Premier.

For tho fourth time in his political career
Mr.. Gladstone becomes the premier of the
English government. During each term of
his office the Irish question has been para
mount. In 1868 he first assumed the duties
of the position, the principal plank in his
platform being the government of Ireland
in accordance with Irish rather than Eng
lish ideas. During his long term OF Office
he was successful in the disestabishment of
the state church. A reform of the system
of land tenure was begun but not carried
out. The attempted introduction Of a sys-
tom of university education was begun,
only to result in an overthrow OF his
government. His second aud third
administrations resulted in no radical re-
forms and now in his SD year Mr.. Glad
stone re-euters office for tho fourth time to
battle, in his declining years for the Irish
people. In 1858, when in the prime of his
powers and backed by a ma ority Of 12O, he
was not successful. Now, ct an advanced
age and supported 10y majority of only
forty the task must seem TO him to be one
of stupendous magnitude. That he is will
ing to undertake it is quite in keeping with
the character Of Englend's "Grand old
man. -

The Ballot Law,

The judges Of the Supreme Court con-
clude that they cannot properly consider
the questions arising under the new ballot
law and the election officers, whoever
they are, and the voters must therefore get
along as best they eau. The principal points
OF difference are these: Who are 'the Off
GERS whose duty it is to designate the poll
ing places ~ Who are election officers"
n the sense in which the words used in
the act Are the four ballot clerks election
officers Not less than three opinions have
been advanced by prominent Vermont law
yers through the columns Of rs many
papers, to whose duty it is to designate
the polling places. One says the duty be-
longs to the boards of civil authority; an
other thinks the seectmen are the proper
persons; while the third would hold the con-
stables responsible. The lawyers are not
agreed, either, on the meaning of the
term "election officers and particularly as
to whether ballot clerks can properly be
called such. If they cannot the law has
already been violated many times; and yet
the fact that they have generally been so
considered is no proof that the trainers of
the law SO intended.
The Interpretation of the law must now
rest with the people themselves. The
secretary of state is naturally over
whelmed with inquiries about the disputed
points. We understand that his replies are
| that in his opinion it is the duty of the
| SciectDen to designate the polling places
and that the ballot clerks are not election
officers. But Mr.. Brownell OF course as
sumes no authority in the matter. The
next Legislature will be called upon to
either repeal the law entirely or amend it
so that it will be understood alike by all.

Why the Judges Did No, Respond

We learn that the reason the judges of the
Supreme Court declined to give an opinion
in regard to the doubtful points in the ballot
law, was that the purpose for which the
governor requested their opinions, was not
the one contemplated by the act which au
thorizes the governor to call upon the
Judges. The act authorizes the governor to
require the opinionl of the court, 'upon
questions Of law connected icUb the dis
charge Of his duticS." As the pew ballot
law does not cali for nny official action on
the part of the governor, the judges decided
that the questions submitted to them wers
not connected with the discharge OF his du-
ties, and that it would not be proper for
them to consider them. In regard to the
general Interpretation Of laws, the court
waits for cases to be brought before it, and
decides no questions till they are brought
before it, in due form OF law. The govern
or's motive in seeking the advice of the
court was good one; but of course it would
have been better, il he had consulted the
judges in advance as to whether the matter
was one in regard TO which he could prop
erly require them to render an opinion,
before formally calling on them for one.

The convict lease system under which
Tennessee hires out her criminals to work in
the coal mines side by side with free miners is
causing that State lots Of trouble. The diff
foulty has now reached point amounting
to open rebellion on the part of considera-
BILE number of citizens. The trouble began
last year when the free miners at Coal
Creak revolted and made themselves mas
ters OF the situation at the mines. They
disbandsd however, and went back to work
on tho promise OF tho governor to call an
extra session Of the Legislature to amend
the convict lease law. The session was
called, and the Legislature failed to take
any action, disregarding the suggestions of
Governor Buchanan. The real reason for
the refusal OF the Legislature to act was
that it feared to cut of the 800, 900 rev
enue derived from the lease OF convicts and
to incur the outlay for new prison which
the abrogation of the system would necessi-
tate. The alliance Is strong in the state,
and its demand for economy was sufficient
to overawe the law makers
The immediate cause Of the present out
break was the placing Of the free miners on
