time will simply transfer from our
treasury to the pockets of these people
the duties which they now largely pay
for the privilege of selling their wares to
us. The consequences to the American
industry must be reduction of the wages
of the people in our mills.
"What the manufacturer in this coun-
try has to contend with, and the serious
nature of his need of protection, may be
indicated by fact respecting wages
just conveyed to us by an American
manufacturer who visited Chemnitz last
summer. The work for which $3.50 to
$500 a day is paid in an American
hosiery mill is paid for at the rate of
$3.50 to $500 week in Chemnitz mill.
Where child in the United States earns
seventy-five cents day for light work, a
child similarly employed in Chemnitz
earns seventy-five cents week. No
American manufacturer can contend
with such cheap labor as this unless he
can have protective tariff duties suffi-
ciently large to compensate for the diff
ference in wages. American workmen
will do we'll to consider these figures,
and to reflect upon their meaning in
view of the promise of tariff revision"

Upon the return of the brigade to the
field, they quietly held on their old
routine of life and maintained to the
close of the war the splendid reputation
they had won at the very outset.
There were many regiments equal to
to the Vermont regiments in actual bat
tie, and some that, like the Fifth New
York Volunteers, not only equaled them
in fighting qualities but greatly sur
passed them in drill, discipline and ap-
pearance on parade. AS brigade, how
ever, they were undoubtedly the best
brigade in the Army of the Potomac, for
they not only fought as well as it was
possible to fight, but they could out
march with the utmost ease any other
organization in the Army.
"It was the intention of the writer
only TO refer to this brigade as furnish
ing the best type of the American soldier
but this article has grown beyond its in
tended limits and we have, therefore,
not the space to examine into the cause
of this superiority. Two, however, may
be briefly stated.
First. That the regiments from Yer
mont were brigaded together. This
rule, strange to say, seemed to work well
only in regard to the smaller States, like
Vermont and New Jersey.
Second. The fact that Vermont dur
ing the first year of the war, recruited
for her regiments and kept them full.
Regimental and company officers know
ing that their ranks would be filled up,
discharged men freely, and thus man.

less soldiers. For these reasons the
Vermonters we're good men. They were
fortunate, however, in having such COM
manders as Gen. f. W. Smith and Gen.
W. T. II. Brooks. 1t naturally resulted
from this combination of circumstances
that they became great power in battle
and earned reputation of which every
man and woman in Vermont may well
he nroud -

Senator Proctor of Vermont is some
thing of humorist. He demonstrated
this In the Senate the other day by COM
ing to the defence of VermOnt's favOrite
product, maple sugar, which seemed to
be threatened by resolution offered by
Senator Wolcott, calling for information
as to expenditures for bounties on sugar.
After submitting some arid statistics,
Mr.. Proctor called attention to the fact
that during the last maple sugar season
he had submitted, in an entirely personal
and unofficial way, to his colleagues In
the Senate, some fine samples of the pro-
duct, but he regretted very much to learn
that Senator Wolcott, by some mistake,
had been omitted in the distribution. 1t
is a little late for maple sugar, but Mr..
Proctor promised to correct his
mistake at once and he took
pleasure in informing the Colorado
senator that this product adds a pecu-
liar flavor to certain mixed compounds,
which makes them very tempting to the
wayward appetite, and he was quite con-
fldent that when the test was made the
senator would even ask that the govern
ment shall take the whole product and
have it coined into suitable cakes, and
put up in other proper subsidiary pack
ages, and given to senators and repre-
seutatives to distribute among their
constituents.-Pree Press.

Chester is one of the Vermont towns
which are promoting home industries.
A good sized building is being con-
| structed in that town in which will be
carried on the business of evaporating
apples for the trade. Sixty people will
be employed during the fall and the pro-
lect is expected to pay a fine per cent.
upon the investment. Let the probable
work go on.
He will not be a rampageous prelate,

Father Hall?-Boston Herald.
A. G. Dewey & Co., manufacturers of
flannel at Queeche, and the Hartford
Woolen Company, manufacturers of sat
inets at Hartford village, have shut down
their mills indefinitely, owing to the
lack of orders and doubt as to the result
of the tariff legislation by the present
Congress. These mills give employment
to about 400 persons, most of whom are
dependent on their earnings for their
living.
About eight years ago, Elmer L
Vaughan was employed in the hide
house of Ex-Governor Page. His parents
were poor and he was working with a
view to securing funds to pursue a
course of study at medical college. He
eventually set out for Boston, sought
and obtained position as assistant in the
Massachusetts General Hospital, and
soon earned more to go through college
and secured his degree. He is now at
the head of faculty of thirty-fve in
structors, and is registrar and professor
of descriptive and surgical anatomy of
the National Homeopathic Medical Col
lege of Chicago.
|. Quoth the Sunday Republican corre-
spondent: 'Rev. DR.. William Harris, the
Episcopal missionary in the diocese of
Vermont, got his first idea of episcOpa-
cy from a little Prayer Book which he
bought for II cents in an auction room
in New Haven during his junior year at
Yale. After graduating he followed the
orthodox teachings of his father and
settled in New Brunswick where he
taught in a Presbyterian institute.
After time he went to Boston where
he was confirmed in the Episcopal
church. He taught in the Monson Acad-
emy several terms. His father, Rev. DR..
Harris, was Congregational clergyman
and principal of the old West Brattle-
borO academy, while his brother,
Charles, was the rector of the local
church in Brattleboro for several years.

The people of the West continue to
abuse the money lenders of the East in
round terms, but the chances are that
they will want to borrow money again
from Eastern capitalists in less than u
months. Will they get it? Not from
Vermont, at least-Free Press. This
probably voices the sentiment of North
ern Vermont, where so many of our peo-
pie have been bitten by the schemes of
more or less doubtful value in which
they have invested their profits from the
industries or farms of the Green Noun
tain State.
