THE BEHRlNo SEA DECISION.

The Behrng sea arbitration case be-
came so complicated before it ended that
scarcely any one understood even the
main points invo.ve So it happened
that there was much difference of Opin-
ion as to the value To US of the decision
of the arbitrators, lately announced.
Hon. +. j. Phelps Of Burlington, one of
the counsel for the United States, eX-
plains briefly and clearly to an inter
viewer Just what the decision signifies.
He says:
The real question. and the only mate
rial question involved in the arbitration,
was whether the seals should be protect
ed from determination. 1t was contend
ed on the part of the United States that
pelagic sealing, that is to say, the pur-
suit of the seals in the sea, was not only
barbarous and inhuman but also nnces-
sarlv destructive to the race, and that it
ought to be prohibited 1t was contend
ed on the part of Great Britain that pei
agic sealing was right that could not
he interfered with, whether it was de-
structive or not; that it was not so de-
structive as contended by the United
States, and that only such regulations
should be adopted as were consistent
with the prosperity of the business of
hunting seals in the water.
The tribunal has imposed such restric-
tions on the business AS must virtually
put an end to it, since under those reg
ulations 1t can no longer be pursued
with profit.
The decision is, of course, satisfactory
to us, because it gives us substantially
all that was contended for, and almost
all that we claimed in the outset of the
discussion under Mr.. Cleveland's former
administration, and it gives us more
than Mr.. Blaine proposed to accept dur
ing the subsequent negotiations in Mr.
HarrisOn's administration.

Vermont has been heard from on the
silver question at Washington this week.
Senator Morrill, talking to the upper
house of the national Legislature and Rep
resent6tive Powers TO the lower. And,
what is more to the point, both talked
we'll. Next Monday is the date set for
voting in the house on the repeal of the
Sherman silver-purchasing law; and as
the senate finance committee has reported
in favor of a similar measure, there is a
prospect that something will be done
sometime. The country generally is of
this opinion, too, or else it does not care
what action congress may take. At any
rate stocks have advanced in price, banks
that the senseless demands of depostors
compelled to close are opening and mills
are resuning work. The number Of fail
ures has been much smaller for the last
ten days, while currency is becoming
more plentiful in the money centers.
The Improvement in business conditions
is not confined to any one part of the
country, but is general.

The EVE PER CENT lax.

AS was to be expected, there is some
kicking, which the st. Johnsbury Re-
publican leads, on the part of the large
and rich towns, against the five per cent
highway tax which draws so much from
them to be distributed among the poorer
and more sparsely settled towns accord
ing to mileage. 1t may yet be doubted
whether the law is right in detail,
whether it will operate to secure real
Improvement IN the highways, rather
than as a subsidy to the latter towns,
replacing so much expenditure which
they would otherwise make. All this
can only be determined by experience,
and any adequate plan is difficult to for
mulate. But 1t is certain that there is a
right principle behind the act. 1t is
alike the duty and the interest of the
large and prosperous towns. which are
trade centers, to help the outlying dis
tricts. Brattleboro, for instance, which
has to contribute $500 more than she
gets under this law, will get it back in
the end, if it is wisely expended in Sc
curing really better roads leading to
Bratteboro. A highway is not entire
ly a town matter. Not only the people
| living in the town where it is located
have to use it, but so do the people all
around, even to quite distant points, for
| the purposes of travel, traffic and com
merce, and there is reason in asking all
/ to contribute in some measure to keep il
up, especially as it is a demonstrated
fact that some towns cannot nows do so
without oppressive burdens Brattle-
| borO RefOrmer.

could possibly be established, however
much an administration might desire to
achieve that end. When the tariff re-
formers get under motion. if they ever
do, they will undoubtedly lower the duty
on some articles and they may do away
with it entirely on other articles; but
free trade or its equivalent they must find
beyond their powers of accomplishment.
1t is well to understand where we are
practically, whatever our theories on the
revenue question may he.
One of the reasons, and perhaps the
principal reason, for the closing of many
manufactures was that the stringency
in the money market and the shortness
of currency gave the propretOrs an ex-
cuse for bringing their employees TO
terms. Asis always the case in flush
times, the demands of the laborers in
certain lines of work have become un-
reasonable during the past few years,
and this furry was improved 10y their
employers to bring them to their senses.
A few concerns engaged in manufacture
ing were bankrupt, but the majority
of those that shut down were financially
sound 1t will be noticed thar most of
the establishments resuming work
and there are many of them these
days-do so on lower basis of wages.

A DISTINCTION WITH A DIFFERENCE

1t is constantly averred by certain pO-
litical organs-notably the New York
Press-in discussing the business stua-
tion, that the partial suspension of man
ufacturng in this country is due to we'll
grounded apprehensions that things are
coming down to free-trade basis, if the
party in power can carry its points. The
Press and its fellow-sinners in this regard
know better, or should.
Nothing could be farther from the fact
In the first place, the platform upon
which the administration was elected is
not free-trade platform at all. 1t de-
clares, not for free trade, but for "tarlff
for revenue only"--a very different thing
from a free-trade tariff, or. what amounts
to the same thing, no tariff at all. A
tariff for revenue only means one without
protective features. 1t should levy an
equal duty upon every article of merchan-
disc brought INTO the country. The rate
should be the same whether an article is
produced here or not and without refer
ence to its quality as merchandise, as to
whether or not it is a necessity or luxury
to the consumer. The percentage of duty
should be uniform throughout the list,
and it would be high or low according to
the demands upon the government purse.
Such tariff is not free trade, or even an
approach to it; and it is exactly this tar
| if for uhif N tho namnaraoU daalaraH in
their last national convention.
Moreover, if we take for granted-and
it is not rash assumption, either-that
political platforms IN general and Demo-
cratic platforms In particular are mere
devices for catching votes, there is still
an apparently insurmountable obstacle
to the establishment of a free-trade pol
icy by the party in power or by any 9th
er party; and that obstacle is the abso-
lutte necessity, now and for many years
to come, of very large income for car
rying on the governments business.
About two hundred million dollars is de-
rived annually from custom house reve-
nues, and no one has yet made clear how
the expenses of conducting the govern
ment can be met without that amount of
income from that source. Now the col
lection of custom house revenues in that
sum necessitates an average duty OF
twenty-five cents on every dollars worth
of goods brought into the country, du-
ty that is quite ways from no duty at
all. On the whole, 1t does not look as II
free trade, or an approximation to it,

THE BREEDERS MEETING.

Those of our readers interested in horse
flesh-and every live Vermonter is-will
of course bear IN mind the ninth annual ex
hibtion of the greatest and most stirring
horse organization the State ever knew,
the Vermont association of Road and
Trotting Horse Breeders. The dates are
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
Aug. 20, 30 and 81, and the place White
River Junction-one of the chief rail-
way centers on the east side of the
mountains, and the location of the
States fastest and only kite-shaped
track.
There will be four races each day, be-
sides an exhibition of stock by families
on the track. Those who want to see
trotting can have their fill of that. while
breeders and horse-lovers generally can
witness the results achievedin this line by
our leading producers. The entries for
very numerous, insuring speedy trotting
and fine show.
Two cOmnOdous hotels have lately
been opened at the Junction, which, with
the accommodations previously afforded,
and those given by two hotels just across
the river. will take care of the crowd in
good shape. There will be ample res
taurants on and near the grounds.
A catalogue containing full lists of all
entries for stakes, purses and premiums,
as well as much other valuable matter
| for reference, has been printed. Copies
may be had free by addressing the sec
retary of the association, d. G. Brown,

at the ninth annual meeting of the Yer
mont Woman's Suffrage association has
come to hand. 1t bears at the top of the

ture "The Lord saw it and it displeased

wonder what the publishers mean to
imply thereby. Do they take this
method of saying that no judgment was
shown by the speakers at the meeting

folk display poor judgment in not al
