THE TARIFF AND VERMONT PROD

There is hardly a Vermont product
that escapes the knife Of the tariff bill
Chairman Wilson proposes for enact

present and the proposed tariff on the
leading articles of Vermont produc

Colorado is the first state to adopt
women suffrage. TIE constitutional
amendment to that effect was ap
proved by majority of 6347, and the
governor has issued a proclamation
giving women right to vote at all

On live animals the proposed duty
is twenty per cent ad valorem. I'm
der the existing law, horses are $50
head; 80 per cent if valued at $3.50 Or
over Cattle more than one year old,
$40 per head; one year orless, 81 per
head. Hogs, $3.50 per head Sheep,
one year old or more, $3.50, per. head;
less than one year old, seventy five
cents per head
A comparison of the above rates
will show that the foundations of YER
mont prosperity are attacked at every
point by the tariff reformers. Her
leading industry is agriculture, and
there is not an article of farm prod
ucts upon which the duty is not either
very largely reduced or wiped out en-
tirely. Had this bill been framed by
a committee of the Dominion parlia-
ment, it's rates could hardly have been
arranged so we'll to conserve the in
terest of the Canadian farmer or more
decisively to the disadvantage of the
Vermont farmer. While the Vermont
farmer is appalled, at the blow aimed
at his vocation by his own govern
ment, his Canadian competitor is very
naturally hilarious over the prospect

The merchant next door to the
Bank, not the defunct State Bank,
has the finest assortment of Gener-
al Merchandise that can be found
in this vicinity.
We have no glutted stock, as
we use judgment in buying, and by
so doing we are able to supply our
patrons with the good things, which
are especially designed for the peo-
pie of this generation. We do not
claim to have more goods than
there is a demand for, as it would
show poor judgment. 1t would be
useless to have eleven Dog Collars
if there were only ten Dogs, unless
we want to be Dogs ourselves.
Don't be humbugged by the old
cry of selling at, or regardless of
cost, that's too stale and it don't 90
with intelligent people.
Goods bought right can be sold
low and yield living for the deal
er. We buy for cash and ask for
no credit, we sell for cash and Pos
itively will not give credit.-One
price to all, rich or poor, no offers
accepted, and goods guaranteed as
represented, or money refunded,
Our stock is too extensive to emu
merate everything from Huckleber-
ries to Fur Goats, but give us a call,
and if you don't see what you want,
ask for it, if we haven't it in stock,
we will get it for you. We
have excellent clerk service, and
will gladly show goods whether you
purchase or not Odd lots and rem

Governor Mckinley has decided to
have no fuss and feathers in connec-
ton with the opening of his second
term. His plan is simply to walk int o
the Senate, take the oath Of Office and
then return at once to the executive
chamber. This may not be Jefferso
MAN simplicity, but it is certainly a
sensible thing to do.
According to the report Of the COM
missioner of internal revenue for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1898, Yer
mont produced during the season of
1892, 2,O57, 099 pounds Of maple sugar,
and on this bounty af $50, 225.23 was
paid. Of the whole quantity produc-
ed, 1865, 1913 tested between 80 and 80
degrees by the polariscope, while
81, 1O2 tested 80 degrees and over. The
season of 1898 showed very large in
crease in the quantity produced by Ii
censed producers, the figures being
1929, 054 against 2,O57 ,O99 in 1892.
The fatal character of the Wilson
tariff measure, in it's relation to Yer
mont's interests, is intensified by the
circumstance that two great lines of
railway, entering the state from the
heart of the Dominion, one at the
northwest, the other near the north
east corner Of the state, traverse the
entire length of the state, the one on
the east, the other on the west side.
Along these commercial highways the
products Of the Dominion can be car
ried to every hamlet and business CEN
ter in the state. Canadian products
would be massed on the border for an
invasion of the state and the markets
TO the south as soon as the new act
should become operative, very much
as the Oklahoma boomers were mass
ed on the confines of the promised
land awaiting the hour to enter and
occupy. Every New England farmer
has common cause with his Vermont
make his farm a graveyard. But the
Vermonter will be hit first and the
