The New York Press prints serious
charge against the sugar trust. 1t is, in
substance, that the trust contributed
half million dollars to the Democratic
campaign fund in '92 and that the present
shape of the tariff bill, which places a
duty of cent a pound on sugar, is the
payment for the contribution.

Editor Of the Register I'm 1876 this city
had a candidate for senator, Hon. Edward
Seymour, who was elected; since that
time Vergennes delegates have had no
candidate for that office, but have will
ingly gone in and assisted other towns in
winning the prize, and it has generally
happened that Bristol or towns within
cannon-shot of that burg have been vic
tors. This year we think that we have a
right to once more make claim for sem
atorial honors and will have for our can
didate d. H. lie Wis, cashier of the Farm
ers' national bank, who ably represented
this city in the legislature of 1884. Mr..
Lewis is one of the most popular business
men in this section, respected by all, lib
eral in his views, broad-mInded, and, if
elected, would represent the county to
the satisfaction of all and with honor to
himself. y.

How it Would Work.

Ii the Government would start a
bank in vour town the people would
deposit their money in 1t. II would
loan these deposits ont and before
night the money would be back again.
So il would be from day to day. There
would be about the same amount OF
money IN the bank ali the time, and
Vet ii would loan hun ireds and per
hans thousands every day. There
would he 10 limit to the loans because
the money would come right back to
the banks in the shape of deposits. In
most Instances the borrower would not
take the money from the bank, but
leave it there on deposit and check it
out. In such case the bank would
simply give him credi, on its books for
the amount of the loan. 1t would
take his note. say for 81 900, and would
have his note and the money too.
This leaning OF credit is great snap
for individuals, and as Uncle Sans
credit is great deal better than an
individuals could be, it would be q
better snap for him.-Missouri World.

of $50 million of S.eenbacks author
lied the issue OF 800 million of bonds,
but they We're not offered until May,
1868. The evidence is very plain that
they We're issued to satisfy the bankers
in their greed for interest, but not to
secure money to carry on the war.
