LheoR's LOSSES,

Whenever organized labor has attempt
ed to stay the resistless logic of events,
which has been steadily enforcing low
er scale of wages, it has almost invari-
ably met with defeat, during the past
year. Tariff agitation, uncertainty and
disaster have proved more than match
for organization and self-sacrifice among
the wage-workeTs.
The soft coal miners strike, the
trouble at Pullman and the sympathetic
boycott on the western railroads are the
three more important events of the past
year, which direct attention to the losing
character of the fight which labor has
been waging.
A recent report of the Pennsylvania la
Dor board indicated that success had not
smiled upon the workers in single re-
cent strike in that State for the retention
of the existing scale of wages
Last months record, although it has
not attracted particular attention in the
news of the day, shows further losses for
labor.
The 5000 miners who struck at Biz
mingham, Ala. on April 14th, for a As
cent rate, agreed, last week, to return at
the old rate of 37t cents. There were
nearly a dozen lives lost during the
strike, which was conducted by the min
ers with the intention of winning at all
hazards, as its four months duration in
dictates.
The stampede of Pullman strikers con-
tinued, last week, and fully 1000 APP
Piled for their former positions in the
works. About 1900 men are at work,
and the company's officials say that
force of 5000 can easily be obtained.
The strike at the mines of the Tennes-
see Coal and Iron company has failed.
Labor advices are all of a uniform
character-unfavorab Tariff reform"
has been the most disastrous experiment
for American labor, which has been tried
during the present cneration.

THE NEW TARIFF.

A Burlington despatch of Tuesday,
says: Ex-senator George F. Edmunds
came up from Newport, r. l., for the ex-
press purpose of voting at this election.
The Ex-senator is registered voter in
the Fifth Ward, and was among the first
freemen to cast ballot after the polls
opened. Concerning the result of the
election, Ex-senator Edmunds said !:
1.-THE increased Republican majority to-
day will cheer and encourage every Re-
publican in the land. 1t will show the
country what Vermont voters think of a
Democratic Administration and Congress
that tries to cripple and destroy North
ern industries. 1t seems to me" contin-
ued Mr.. Edmunds, shat the verdict rem
dered at the polls to-day is severe con-
domination of the new tariff law, which
in its operation must be destructive to
the material interests not only of Yer
mont, but other States. The farmers
seemed to have realized that with wool
and lumber on the free list, and the re-
duction of duty on Canadian farm pro-
ducts, a serious blow has been aimed at
their interests. So far as the abolition
of the bounty on maple sugar is concern
ed, the farmers of Vermont have a Just
cause of complaint. The refusal of the
Secretary of the Treasury to pay the
bounty to licensed producers on the crop
of 1894, which was accepted and tested
by the Government, cannot be justified
in law or equity Every cent of bounty
due under the Mckinley law is collect
able, and can be recovered in the United
States Courts in suits brought for that
purpose. The Vermont sugar makers
should combine to bring an action in the
Courts to obtain judgment in this mat
ter"

voted to study, and this way qualified
himself for newspaper work, being sub
sequently admitted to the bar. At
about IS years of age the former factory
boy was Speaker of the Massachusetts
House of Representatives. About four
years later he was Speaker of the Ma
tional House of Representatives, and
was three times elected governor OF
Massachusetts,. With the opening OF the
war General Banks entered upon mill
tary service distinguished chiefly by mis-
fortune. He was equally unfortunate
after the war in following the political
mirage of 1872, but in later years he re-
turned to his allegiance-to the Repub-
lican party whose advocacy of free labor
and of protection for American industry
had made his extraordinary career pos.
sible. General Banks possessed some
elements of greatness. He was an elo-
quent orator and of undoubted ability as
a statesman, and attracted the devoted
friendship of many of the best men Of
his time

at is bad enough, and the best that
can be said of it is that it is not nearly so
bad as the Democrats would have made
it if they could. They lacked the power
in the Senate to makea complete free
trade Tariff"
Glow will it affect Vermont interests?"
1.-THE worst features of it seem to be
its reductions on Canadian products, one
of which affects this locality and the en-
tire northern border seriously. Taking
the duties off from dressed lumber is no
advantage to the builder or consumer of
lumber. He will have to pay exactly as
much for it. 1t merely takes the labor
away from American mechanics and
transfers the work to Canada. The
planning and dressing mills that have been
built up as a result of the Republican
tariff will, to great extent, be deprived
of the work which will be done in Can
ada, and many mechanics and laborers
thrown out of employment The reduC-
tions of duty on agricultural products
are also of no use to the consumer and a
great injury to our farmers. 1t is clear
case of giving away to Canada. They
add to the price of every horse or sheep,
ton of hay or bushel of potatoes, just the
amount of the reduction of the duty.
will the peoples party be factor in
81 can't believe it. The Republican
party is the PEG ple's party. A party of
discomfort and complaint can live on
grasshoppers and cyclones few years
but it is the party OF progress, of settled
principles and of consciousness as to
duty and right which lives on"

IISe itIn Time,

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages,
affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is in
fact, the great enemy of the mucous
membrane. Neglected colds in the head
almost invariably precede catarrh, caus-
ing an excessive flow of mucus, and if
the mucus discharge becomes interrupt
ed the disagreeable results of catarrh
will follow, such as bad breath severe
pain across forehead and about the eyes,
roaring and buzzing sound in the ears
and oftentimes a very offensive dis
charge. Ely's Cream balm is the ac-
knoWledged cure for these troubles.

VERMONT ROADS.

The Vermont Highway Commission
ers, consisting of Col. Geo. w. Hook
er, J w. Votey and o. L. Kinds, have
issued a very useful and interesting
pamphlet on the matter of highways
in the state with much information,
remarks, statistics, pictures of road
machinery, and general information
that ought to be in the hands of the
citizens of the State. Attention is be-
ing turned toward improvements in
the highways and many towns are al
ready moving in the direction of
procuring machinery preparatory to
building permanent roads.
The present system, even by the use
of good road machines, amounts to
very little more than temp orary or
yearly repairs, although the machines
have done much for many run down
sections. Some policy ought to be
adopted at once whereby each town
could make permanent roads, if it was
not more than single mile year.
The expense OF, McAdam road or other
stone road is such that no town could
lay much of it annually but most
towns could afford to purchase the
machinery and make small begin
ming at once, to extend in distance as
the treasury permitted. The steam
roller and other machinery necessary
to lay stone roads can be used in max
ing good gravel highways, and the
average road could be much improved
at slight cost. A pretty good full out
fit, portable stone crusher and engine,
steam roller, etc., could be obtain
ed for $4,000 upward, according to
size. This machinery would lastmany
years under good treatment and lay
all the roads that need be laid in an
ordinary town. Write Col. Geo. w.
Hooker, Brattleboro, for the commits
sioners' report.

The So called A. P. A. tissue" has
proven a boomerang to those I'M
American democratic politicians who,
in several states. have attempted to
interject religious prejudices into par
ty platforms and state and local con-
tests. While we know nothing and
care nothing about the aims and pur-
poses of this much discussed sorganiz-
alton, it is a fact, one that any fair
minded person must admit, that but
for the great publicity given the or
der by these soulless place seekers
not one citizen in thousand, proba-
bly,, would have ever had the slightest
knowledge of its existence.
The principles of religious liberty
are so firmly established in this coun-
try that there is neither necessity nor
decency i'll discussing the matter, and
il is comforting that the good sense of
the American people, irrespective of
creed or nationality, declines to even
interest itself in this species of bigotry.
The men who have introduced this
A. P. A. bugbear into recent cam
paigns have been driven to the wall
by an indignant and liberal minded
people, and the party that hoped to
profit by arousing the prejudices Of
the ignorant or vicious doubtless to-
day comprehends the danger of tri-
fling with the inherent sentiments of
the American voter.
