The VOORHEES, RnI.

Be it enacted, etc., That so much of the
act approved July IA, 1890, entitled "An
act directing the purchase of silver bullion
and issue of treasury notes thereon, and
for other purposes" as directs the secretary
of the treasury to purchase from time to
time silver bullion to the aggregate amount
of 4,500,0 900 ounces, or so much thereof as
may be offered in each month at the mar
ket price thereof, not exceeding 81 for
371.2 grains of pure silver, and to issue
in payment for such purchases treasury
notes of the United States, be, and the
same is hereby, repealed.
And it is hereby declared to be the policy
of the United States to continue the use of
both gold and silver as standard money,
and to coin both gold and silver into mon
ey of equal intrinsic and eXchangeable
value, such equality to be secured through
international agreement, or by such safe
guards of legislation as will insure the
maintenance of the parity in value of the
coins of the two metals, and the equal
power of every dollar at all times in the
markets and in the payment of debts.
And it is hereby further declared that
the efforts of the government should be
steadily directed to the establishment of a
safe system of bimetalism as will maintain
at all times the equal power of every dollar
coined or issued by the United States in
the markets and in the payment of debts.

OUR FINANCIAL LETTER.
Uncertainty Regarding Tariff LegisIa-
tiOn.
The Decrease in Atchison Earnings---
Other Affairs Concerning the Rail-
"a BROAD STREET.

q DhOAD OTREET,
New YORK, Nov. 1, 1893.
The historic Sherman act has at last
been repealed, and the general public must
now find something else to think over. dis
cuss, and, if possible, to work themselves
into frenzy of the most contagious ma
ture. Quite probably the tariff question
will not come up at this session of Con-
gress, but will go over to the regular ses-
sion of next month. This tariff uncer-
tainty is of vital Importance with regard to
iron and wool, and tends to restrict sales
in these two great commodities. The iron
market is always considered to be one of
the best barometers in relation to the gen
eral business situation.
For the months of July, August and
September the Atchison system shows
decrease of nearly s1,OOO,OOO. 1t is quite
probable, however, that railroad earnings
will gradually show better results in the
near future.
1t seems to be reasonably certain that
the Vanderblts have been parting with
some of their Northwestern stock. This
stock has been considered about as safe as
government bond, and no doubt is the
most gilt edged investment of any in the
"Granger' group. The prevailing western
legislative prejudice is said to have caused
the Vanderbits to sell many of their west
ern securities. During the last three
months the Vanderbilts were absorbing
Lackawana stock, and why it did not de-
cline more in the panic is now easily un-
derstood.
geographically speaking, the Central
Vermont seems to be quite attractive Just
now. The Boston S Maine is said to have
longing eye for control; while Messrs.
Gould, Sage Il Mcleod may not be caught
mapping.
New York banks have over 100000, 900
above their legal reserve, and money is
quite drug. Two months ago money
was almost unattainable; thus one extreme
follows another.
Recently the writer had the pleasure of
hearing the noted silver advocate. the Hon.
K. p. Bland of Missouri, talk on bin etal-
lism. The Hon. NJ. D. Harter of Ohio
was his opponent. To say that the dis
cussion was decidedly interesting is putting
it very mildly.

Prof. II. Won Hoist, the eminent histo-
rian, contributes to the November Forum
a slashing criticism of the present Senate
under the title, "Shall the Senate rule the
Republic?" The Senate, he points out,
has perverted its privileges so as to give
every individual senator an absolute veto
upon all legislation. The two Nevada sem
ators representing hardly the population of
a good-sized third-class city, paralyze the
business of the whole population. He
warns the people against vicious "compro-
misses and urges them to hold mass-meet-
ings to demand an immediate revision of
the Senate rules.

Fair ---Interesting Statements from
Superintendent Of Dairy Products.
SPRINGFIELD, VT, Nov. 1, 1898.
Editor PbGniI,
Ny Dear Sir:-I am just home from
the big fair, and though more than willing
to rest from the most wearyipg exhibition
l ever attended, must call the attention
of Vermont dairymen to the statement 60
ing about the country regarding our place
states have credited us with a position we
did not earn and do not care to claim.
The exhibition was conducted on the
plan of "nO competition between the
states" and with our extreme modesty
Vermont has been silent until now. Some
of our own state papers have printed the
statement that "Vermont stood third in
the October exhibit etc. Now this may,
or may not, be true, on a general average
basis, which is not fair showing of our
states standing Most of Vermont's sam
pies were dairy goods, and states showing
mostly creamery butter cannot compare on
general average" basis. In the absence
of an official report do not feel warranted
in making comparisons, even if such COM
parisons were not 'odious," but as Yer
monter and one deeply interested in her
welfare and especially in the line of dairy
ing, beg to say Vermont has led the lcOrld
in the score of her butter, in the last three
exhibits, and l am of the opinion tina the
June exhibit gave Vermont a larger per
cent of perfect butter than any other state
or country. If am correct our creamery
average in September was but a small deci-
NAL below o., while we scored in the dairy,
on tub and prints, above the highest given
to any other section. Having given my
best efforts to the state during the 1S
months since my appointment as superin-
tendent of our dairy products, very nat
urally desire to claim what is ours, and
want nothing more than was given u.s.
| New York, one of the best as well as larg-
est dairy states, on general average"
would be treated with great injustice.
When the official score is complete it will
be my pleasure to furnish the state press
with complete copies, and / will try to
show that Vermont has taken no "third"
position, by the official figures beg to
say, in closing, that l had faith in Yer
mont, and while some of the states and
countries we were exhibiting with gave a
great deal of attention to the selection of
their exhibits from the very best sources,
l sent circulars to every section of this
state soliciting exhibits, and took every
sample SENT and placed it in the exhibit
so simply showing what Vermont was do
ing in that line. Trusting this may eX.
plain the position Vermont holds, which l
believe to be correct, and hoping my broth
er dairymen may approve of my work in
the interest of the leading industry of ouI
state, l am,
Faithfully yours,
ii. M. ARMS,
Superintendent dairy products for World
Columbian Exposition.

The southern Democrats Introducing
Bills for the Repeal OF the Tax on
state Banks.
means committee who is understood to be
in favor of the repeal of the tax on state
bank circulation, says that next to the tar
iff the question of devising and establish
ing "a flexible currency is the most i'm
portant one with which this Congress will
have to deal. There is no doubt that a
strong effort will be made to repeal the
tax on state bank circulation with that
end in view, or that the advocates of re-
peal are exceedingly hopeful that the effort
will be crowned with success. Some of
them assert in a confident tone that Secre-
tary Carlisle is strongly in favor of repeal,
and that President Cleveland will approve
an act for that purpose if one shall be sent
to him by Congress- They also assert that
a bill will be favorably reported from the
committee on banking and currency early
in December, and that it will be passed by
the House before the tariff bill is taken up
for consideration, and they are also hope
full of favorable report from the Senate
committee on finance.
OF bills relating to this subject Is have
been referred to the committee on banking
and currency. All but two were introduc-
ed by southern men. Seven of these bills
provide for the repeal of all laws which
impose "a tax of 10 per centum or any 9th
er sum on the circulating notes of state
banks or state banking associations, or
which impose tax on all banks and bank
ing associations which receive or pay out
the notes or circulation of other than ma
tional banks, or which discriminate in tax
alton against the circulating notes of state
banks and state banking associations
None of these bills proposes to relieve ma
tional banks of the tax on circulation.

Enforce the Law!


Follow the Good Lead of BrattIebOrO
F. II. Markham of Barre hired a livery
team and drove the horse so severely for
two hours and half that it died. Max
ham paid the owner $50, the value of the
horse, and has not been prosecuted. He
should be made to suffer the same penalty
recently inflicted upon Brattleboro man
for a similar offense. The law covering
such cases was made to be enforced, and
the authorities at Barre are very seriously
at fault. Enforce the law at once, and
teach human brutes that they cannot tor
ture dumb brutes to death and escape the
penalty.
How can the Barre authorities shut their
eyes to such an offense, and will the peo-
pie stand such a dereliction of duty?
