Seeking SCaDcgOats.

The statement has been made by some
one claiming to represent the admnistra
tion that Mr.. Cleveland was not seriously
thinking of pushing the passage of law
providing for an income tax, but many of
our democratic contemporaries are busy
arguing In favor of such a tax which shows
that they are expecting the passags of such
an income tax law by Congress This
view is also partially confirmed by a
cablegram from abroad announcing that
the United States legations in Europe have
been instructed to study and report on ex-
isting systems Of income taxation and other
methods, in order that our government may
select the least oppressive aud offensive to
cover the deficit which will result from the
reform of the tariff.
That the revision of the tariff will render
a resort to an income tax law, or some
other similar measure necessary for increas-
ing the national revenue, is tain, and it
has been given out that the revision of the
tariff as well as the silver issue will
be considered at the extra session.
The democrats can not fulfill their pledges
without resorting to additional taxation
since the government could get along with
the present receipts but could not meet its
regular expenses with less. 1t is estimated
that the general reduction of the tariff to
which the administration is committed in
wolves a loss of revenue running any
where from $50, 600, 900 to $40, 000, 600, and
it will be necessary to secure this amount in
some other direction. But the democratic
leaders and democratic newspapers are far
from united as to the merits of an in come
tax and there is q bare possibility that the
democratic Congress may even consent to
protect some American Industry for the
SAFE Of securing more revenue.

During the whole course thus far of the
financial strngeucy through which the
country has been passing it has been the
subject Of very general comment that Yer
mont has been affected by the prevailing
bushes and financial uncertainty to a sur
prisingly slight degree. 1t is true that bust
ness has been somewhat curtaed in some
directions, but remarkable as it may seem
not few mercantile houses, trade con-
Germs and manufacturing establishments
make the announcement that their business
thus far this year has aggregated more than
it did during the corresponding period last
year.
This is true of Blrljngto as we'll as
other towns ia western Vermont and it is
undoubtsdy equally true Of all the prin CT pal
towns In tho state Banks in general
throughout tho tI' 4 course, been
compelled to '... ".tI uLusual caution,
but there has not been a single bank failure
and comparatively few business disasters in
Vermont since the present financial strin-
gency began, which fact is in itself strik
ing, as well as convincing, evidence of the
financial and business stability of our bank
ing institutions as we'll as OF our business and
industrial projects in general.
The general testimony is that business has
not decreased in volume In the aggregate
In this Stat, and that the most noticeabl
effect of the stringency is the increased

I'll guilty OF doing cash business. 1t is
known that there is money enough and to
spare in Vermont and IL any ono doubts
this statement it can be fully verified at
any savings institution in the State, but
people are inclined to hold on to their sur
plus not only ON account of uncertainty
where to place 1t, but also in order to be
prepared to meet any unexpected emergency
which may suddenly arise in their own
financial affairs.
1t Is true that Nermontors have lost a
large amount of money since the present f.
nancal cloud began to envelope the coun
try, but it is also true that by far the great
er portion of the money thus lost was in
vested outside of the State. There is a
gratifyingly large number of people In Yer
mont who have money to invest outside of
their regular business, and because of the
lack of visible ready aud convenient means
Of investing their surplus at home, they
have been frequently induced to place their
capital In outside projects, entrusting their
investments and the security thereof largely
to other hands than their own. And these
are the investors who have suffered to the
greatest extent IN lnl5 Otdte since Iub pres
ent scare began.
The absence OF opportunity for profitable
Investment at home, which led many to
send their money abroad for investment,
was only apparent, as many have aimee
found out to their complete satisfaction
but being busily engaged in business of
their own, or not having an inclination to
look about them for such opportunities,
they felt obliged TO take advantage of such
means of investment as were at hand. In
view Of these facts it is not impossible
that the present financial stringency may
prove to he blessing in disguise
for Vermont; for there arc already indica-
tons that the people of the State are con
WINGED that they must to a large extent do
pend upon home investments hereafter,
We have already called attention to a num-
Der of new projects in this State which have
undoubtedly grown out Of these considera
lions quite largely and the number will,
without doubt, be considerably augmented
in the near future. Another result of th,
present feeling in business and financial cir
Giles will be to make our business men more
conservative, and increase Nermont's bust
ness and financial stability. Nermonters
therefore, have additional reason for prid,
| in their State and confidence in its futur,
! prosperity and progress.

If the lamented Horace Greeley were
alive to-day he would undoubtedly advise
young men to 60 to Mexico, in view of the
immense fortunes which are being made,
according to report, in raising coffee in the

Is cheap and all that is wanted is enterprise
to make the production of coffee in Mexico
a great industry. In the state of Chiapas
a farm Of ! 10 acres can be bought for $500,
and 1000 quintals of coffee, worth $50 a
quintal, can be raised on it after the trees
are three years old.

The New y ork Recorder called on various
governors for a patriotic sentiment appro-

what Governor Fuller sent:

covered by the Genoe3e navigator, but ex-
tend until they encirce the & ODE.
Your efforts to arouse the public interest
in and to accomplish the restoration of the
old toned Fourth OF July celebration in
the country are commendabe. Yes, restore
again the old-fashioned celebration with its
noise and jubilee, the sound of cannon and
speech; let the young enter into their share
of national joy, and the elders promote the
patriotism of the people,
Especially do now sed prudence and
patriotism, sound wisdom and enlarged con-
aience in our Institutions that an awaken
ell patriotic sentiment may lift the nation
from selfishnes' and money getting to the
broader measures of statesnanship and pub
lie welfare. LEVI X. FULLER.
