The New rarim Bill.

We take the following from Zion's
Herald, an Independent, non-partisan
paper, as being the best statement of
the provisions of the bill we can find:
''Notin dozen Years has there been
so much secrecy maintained by a COM
mittec engaged in tariff revision as
has been the case with that over which
Congressman Wilson presided. How
ever, the bill has at last been made
public. 1t provides for free raw ma
terials for manufactures. Free wool.
free coal. free iron ore, free flax and
hemp, free salt and lumber. are in
cluded. The cuts on wooden goods
are heavy. There are sweeping re-
ductions ON the iron schedule. The
tin plate industry is cut one-half. and
there is scaling down of one-half on
refined sugar. The proposed changes
will fall most disastrously upon the
industries of New England. 1t is adj
mitted that the bill will not supply
the amount of revenue needed. What
next? If it stands, the existing inter-
nal revenue taxes must be increased or
new internal taxes, like one on in
comes, be devised. What fate that bill
viii encounter, after its lengthy sched-
ules and various provisions have been
passed on, one by one, in Congress,
viii not be known for months 10
come. "

The comments on the proposed new
tariff are as varied as the different pa
pers: but throughout the North and
West. there is decided protest against
putting wool and lumber ON the free
list and against the sweeping reduc-
tions made on agricultural products.
Canada. with her cheap labor, has all
wavs been a strong competitor OF the
farmers of this country. and if this
bill passes, she will reap big benefit
at the expense of the farmers of the
United States.

AMONG VERMONT FARMERS.

Vermont has fiourishing State
Board of Agriculture that is already
at work, k,with a plan of operations that
Twill oecupysthe winter months and
extend toall parts of the State
The winter meeting of the Dairy
mems Association will be held in Bur-
lington the second week in January.
This and the Board of Agriculture
are old organizations and have done
much to assist the farmer in his occu-
patton. May they accomplish much
more.
The Vermont Maple Sugar Makers
Association is a new organization, but
has field peculiarly its own, and it
is TO be hoped that it well be the me-
dunn through which much good shall
result to those engaged in this occu-
patton. The annual meeting will be
held in connection with that of the
Dairymens Association in January.
1t seems that the Patrons of Hus-
bandry are wide-awake and will not
allow the winterto pass without their
doing good work in their line.
OF course the work of this order is
not confined to the winter season, but
il is expected that little extra stimu-
lus win be added to the usual pro-
gramme, when time will admit of in
creased effort in this direction.
For some reason, the grangers lost
their foothold in Franklin county, but
the order seems TO be fiourishing in
other parts Of the State. Much good,
no doubt, has been accomplished
through the agency of this quiet, So
cial working order of farmers and
their families.
For many years Mr.. Messer, an en-
ergetic, progressive man, has been at
the head of this order in Vermont.
Now that he has been transferred TO
a much more extended field Of labor
as lecturer of the National Grange,
some one else will have to be put in
his place at home, but there are more
good men left in the State. Ii should
be considered an honor to Vermont
that one OF her sons has been called 10
fill SO important position in con-
nection with the agricultural interests
Of this country.
Our Agricultural college and Ex-
pertinent Station have been doing some
excellent work during winters past,
in connection with dairy schools and
other matters, and ii is to be pre-
sumed that something of the kind
may be expected the present season.
a Vermont has been little ahead of /
most Of the other States in organizing
and carrying forward the work, for
which she should have due credit.
SO il will be seen from the above
brief outline that our State is not be-
hind in those organizations that are
calculated TO increase interest in agri-
cultural pursuits, rendering them
more profitable, and the people who
follow them, more contented and hap
py.
There are some questions, like the
one on equal taxation, referred to
above, that will require much agita-
tion, discussion and work to get satis-
factorily adjusted, but that is no rea-
son that they should be left alone.
Let the agitation 90 on, and in time
more favorable results may be expect

The state Grange.

In connection with the announce
ment of the regular annual meeting of
the Vermont State Grange to be held
at West Randolph, December 18th
and l4th, it transpires that the pros
poets of the order in this State were
never better than at this time. The
Watchman says that within the last
three years, the new membership ag-
gregated l,500, and while there has
been some loss by death and other
wise, the body to-day numbers over
1000 more than il did three years ago.

The growing tendency nowadays is
toward some form of socialism. by
whatever name. The people of Bos-
ton have lately been listening to Mr..
William Clarke, a socialist exponent
from England, where these doctrines
have gained much ground among
thinking people. Ii is the fashion
among us Americans TO regard Eng
land as the most conservative Of coun-
tries and the United States as the most
progressive. On the contrary. our
form of government possesses less flex-
ibility than that of almost any Euro
pean nation. Both our government
and our people are very cautious and
conservative by nature. Socialism is
gaining ground abroad. and before
many years we may see it tried more
extensively than now. Then we can
profit by their example.
