MORE CASH NEEDED.

The Vermont managers for the

work, and are disposed to make as
good a showing for the state at that
time as possible. 1t is proposed to
give the wealth building
OF her own on the great fair grounds,
a structure made entirely of Yer
mont aterials-granite from Barre,
marble from Rutland, slate from Fair
Haven, etc But this is going to
cost something, and the managers
have discovered already that they
will not have money enough unless
somebody comes to the rescue in
bered that a the regular session of
the last legislature an appropriation
of five thousand dollars was made
for Vermont's representation at Chi
cago This insignificant sum was
commented on rather unfavorablv
all around the sta te, and at the spe-
cial session last August it was pro-
posed to make the figure at least
twenty thOusand-posSibly twenty
FIVE. Ten thousand was finally add
ed to the original appropriation, put
ting fifteen thousand at the disposal
of the managers. Now, the people
individually are to be called upon to
contribute towards an object which
the state should have taken care of
at the outset III businesS-like way.
If Vermontis to have any representa-
ton at all at the Worlds fair, it
should be somewhere near inpr0por-
ton to her Importance in the sister
hood Of states; aud now that the
work OF preparing for her attendance
at the great exhibition has actually
begun, the wide-awake business men

something is done to make up for
what the legislature failed to do in
this direction The sequel has
proved how utterly inadequate the
first appropriation was.

Two years ago this winter the
farmer residents on the shores of
Lake Champlain reaped a golden
harvest in furnishing ice to supply
the demand from Hudson River
points, where, it will be remembered,
there was lack of that refreshinglv
cool material on account of a very
mild winter. The continued mild
ness of this season has raised the
hopes of these same Lake Champlain
farmers, and word comes from Al
burgh that a revival of the ice boom
this year is looked for, and that
many of the farmers who last year
made little fortune out of the bust
ness are getting ready for a similar
opera ton. The down country peO-
pie must have ice, and if the weather
shall prove unfavorable to the MAX
ing of that article in the Hudson
River, they will doubtless be COM
PEELED to depend again on this north
ern latitude for their blocks of sum-
mer comfort

The Mckinley Bill Hurts England.
The remarkable admission is made
by the London Globe that 1.-THE Nc
Kinley tariff bill appears to be work
ing more harm to British commerce
than was anticipated" and that
"thereis no longer any question that
the trade of the country has lost its
buoyancv. 1t says that England
can OILY retain its foreign trade by
cheapness of production, while the
tendency of English labor movement
is to increase the cost of production.
But the only way to cheaper pro-
duction is by lowering wages. Amer
lean workmen favor the protective
policy because it tends to the main
tenance of fair wages, and the Amer
lean people favor the policy because
the more rapidly our manufactures
increase, and the greater the amount
spent for material and wages, the
more prosperous we shall be. The
tariff is indeed a tax, but it is tax
on our competitors rather than upon
ourselves.-[ \. Y. Mail and Express.
