The Rate of Tariff Duties.

There is no doubt that an entirely er-
roneous idea prevails, even among Repub-
Leans, as to the average rate of duties paid
on imports under the Mckinley law as
compared with the rates under previous
tariffs for the past twenty years. Figures
carefully compiled from the United States
treasury statistics show that
For the year ending June 80, 1883, the
last year before the tariff of that year
took effect, the total of dutiable imports
was S493, ,9lG,3S4; free imports S2O6, ,913,-
2S9; duties collected, $2Oa,65Q,G99; aver
age rate of duty on all imports 29.92 per
cent.
For the year ending June 80, 1890, the
last year beto-e the Mckinley tariff took
effect, the dutiable imports were S5O7,571,- y
7G4; free imports, Sj6d, d,103,04S; duties
collected, S222, 81, 7,07G; average rate of
duty on all imports, 29.l2 per cent.
For ,he year ending June so, 1s92, the
first year during which all the provisions
of the Mckinley law were in force, the
total of dutable imports was S3d9,390,-
139; free imports, S4jS, ,OOl, l4j: duties
collected, $40 S56,3s0; average rate OF
duty on all imports, 20.65 per cent.
These figures, as already stated, are
taken from the compiled statistics of the
treasu ury department, and they are there
fore without partisan bias. They show, in
brief that the volume of imports entering
our custom houses absolutely free has
been increased nearly S2O0,OOO,0OO since
1880; while the average rate of duty col,
lected has fallen from 29.l2 per cent in
1890 to 20,6j per cent in 1892.
So much for the actual operation of the
two years ago to denounce as the "robbel
barons" law.

PEMBROKE.
4 Highly AppreciatIve Review of Miss
Wilkms's New Novel.

Margaret +. Sangster has a review of
Pembroke" Mary Wilkinss new story,
in the current number of Harper's Bazaar
in which she awards it unstinted praise as
the best work Miss wilkins has yet done
making a step in advance, an ascent to
higher levels delicate, finished,
clear-cut, keenly analytic, unhurried and
perfectly balanced" After giving some
hint of leading characters the writer con-
tinues:
THE story is psychological, notwith-
standing its austere realism: it is a story
of the New England will and the New Eng
land conscience, accentuated by conditions
of life that force souls into depths deeper
because of their narrowing limitations.
Barnabas goes to see Charlotte, his heart
throbbing at the pace of the lovers who
expects soon to be a bridegroom. But the
clock does not strike the hour of this hap
piness for months and years. Why and
how the Joy is deferred Miss wilkins tells
with exceeding art; the story is so full of
incident, movement, and excitement that
one cannot put it down till the breathless
last page is reached. To reveal the secrets
of Pembroke to those who still have in an
ticipatiOn the pleasure of reading it would
be manifestly unfair; but the book is full
of pictures, of silhouettes, of questions and
answers; it will provoke comment, criti-
cism. and conversation"

The Tariff situation.

There is no doubt that the Democrats
are badly alarmed over the tariff situation
in Congress and are making every possible
effort to reconstruct their bill in such a
way that it can be carried through. 1t was
vigorously denied last week that President
Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle and Senators
German, Brce, Jones of Arkansas and
Others were at work on a system of con-
cessions that would secure the votes of
Senators who have special interests to con-
cilate, but this fact is no longer contra
dicted. The statement that the metal
schedule has been entirely recast, with
great concession to iron and steel, is con-
firmed - This has been brought about
partly through the efforts of Senator Cor
man and partly by the determined attitude
of Mr.. Quay on the Republican side in
holding out fer protection to the industries
of Pennsylvania. The application, in the
secretly revised schedules, of compound
duties, composed of both specific and ad
valorem, has been very general.
"The truth is, says a Washington des-
patch, "that the Democratic managers, who
| regard it as an absolute political necessity
to the Democratic party thata tariff bill of
some kind shall be passed, have become
seriously alarmed at the complications
which threaten the path of the pending
bill. They are willing to yield almost any
thing to Democratic senators representing
states where public sentiment is dissatis-
fled with the schedules as they stand"

MEN OF VERMONT.
j. &. Ullery's Biographical History and
CyclOpedia Of VermOnters and Sons Of
Vermont.

j. &. Jllery's Biographical History and
Cyclopedia of Vermonters and Sons of
Vermont.
The first copies of "Men of Vermont"
the volume upon which j. G., Ullery has
been at work for some two years past, were
received last week, and the whole edition
will soon be ready for delivery. The work
was planned on a comprehensive scale and
appears to have been well carried out. 1t is
divided into three parts,-historical biog-
raphies, biographies of Vermontresidents,
and biographies of sons of Vermont. The
general historical biographies, with which
the book opens, were prepared by G. II.
Davenport, who takes up his work under
the several heads of the Fathers, the Gov
ernors, Senators in Congress, Representa-
tives in Congress. In this department about
100 pages of valuable and interesting,
biographical and historical matter has been
compiled.
The whole work has been done under
the general editorial supervision of Hiram
A. Huse of Montpelier, who makes a
special and individual contribution to the
work in the form of 30 pages devoted to a
general historical sketch of the Vermont
supreme court, with biographies of the
| judges from the earliest time to the
! present Under the head of "queer char
acters' Mr.. Huse tells the story of Joseph
Smith, Brigham Young, IIeber Chase
Kimball and John Humphrey Noyes
whose paternity Vermont is compelled to
own.
Gov. Fuller writes of Vermont inven-
tors, the individual sketches including the
! Brattleboro names of j. Dorr Bradley,
James Fisk, John Gore, VIM. Gould, Asa
Keyes, Frank NJ Palmer, Samuel Pike,
and Franklin Wheeler, in addition to that
of the writer.
In Part II, which includes the biogra-
| phies of present Vermont residents, there
are about 1000 titles. These biographies
appear to have been made up with care and
impartiality, and cover the state very COM
| pletely.
In Part III, which includes sons of Yer
mont, the biographies number about 800,
and the list is intended to include, among
others, all those Vermonters who have be-
come members of Congress from the states
of their adoption.
No claim is made by Mr.. Ullery that
this work is actually complete or free from
errors, but a faithful attempt has been
made to prepare book which shall be of
! interest to the general reader and of value
as a cyclopedia of Vermont biography.
! The mechanical execution of the book is
excellent. The half tone portrait illustra-
| tion has been used almost exclusively, and
wherever good original photographs were
! furnished, the reproduction is all that
could be desired.

A DUMMERsToN HILL WEDDING

\ very quiet home wedding took place
Tuesday morning, May l, when Alice, only
daughter of c. II. Betterley, was united in
marriage to DR.. Irvine L. Nowlan of South
Stafford, Vt. The parlor had been taste
fully decorated with evergreen and may
flowers by loving friends While the
march was being played by Mrs. Myrtle
Whitaker, cousin of the bride, the bridal
couple entered the room and took their
places beneath an arch of evergreen which
occupied one corner and from the centre of
which was suspended the monogram, n. b.
in green and white. Rev. f. II. Roberts
of South ROyaton Officiated. Only imme
diate relatives and friends were present.
The bride wore a travelling dress of light
tan. Refreshments of cake and coffee
were served and at noon the bride and
groom departed, amid the customary
shower of rice, for their new home in South
Stafford, where the groom is a physician
with large practice, The bride is young
lady of fine character, and has hosts of
friends, who wish her a long and happy
| life. a pretty feature of the occasion was
the singing of the hymn, God be with
you till we meet again. by the guests
| standing on the piazza watching their de-
parture. Many gifts were received, among
| which was a beautiful silver tea service of
| five pieces from former friends and associ-
ates of "The Highlands" Winchendon,

O,Nen Pnys His Zinc and Coo. mom,

OMEN Pays His Fine and Goes Home.
John O'Neil of Whitehall, y. Y, paid
to Superintendent Morgan of the house of
correction at Rutland last Friday, his fine,
amounting to S6702.j9 and went home
He appears to have been amply able to pay
his fine, and the Rutland correspondent of
the Boston Globe thinks she has made
more than the amount of it from sales Of
liquor in Vermont during the l6 years of
litigation 1t was understood in Rutland
demonstration over his release, escorting
him to the railroad station with music an
a procession, and that there was also a
plan to receive him with a demonstration
at Whitehall. O'Neil himself knew bet
ter than to favor anything of the kind,
and to circumvent the scheme Superintend-
ent Morgan took him in a carriage, drove
him outside, and, by consent of the rail
road company, put O'Neil aboard freight
train on which he arrived in Whitehall at
mid night and went quietly home. Jewett
p. Cain of Rutland, as the original com
plainant, gets one-fourth of the fine.
Many expressions are heard, representa-
tive of the best sentiment of the state
strongly endorsing the course of Gov. Full
Ter in refusing to interfere in O'Neil's case
and expressing qualification that the cas-,
came to the hands of an executive of sucl
independence and conviction as to be un
influenced by specious representations O
outside pressure

Los Mind Has Been Tutored.
From the New York Press.l

n VTTI IITV Wv 7 u n T TV0s.I
The legislature of the Cherokee nation
has voted for a per capita distribution of
the SS,000,000 received from the sale of
the famous Cherokee strip" and under
the terms of the settlement each man,
woman and child in the tribe will receive
a cash payment OF 5000. This distribu-
tion makes the Cherokees the richest peo-
pie, in proportion to their numbers, in the
world. 1t would appear from this that, in
finance at least, the savage mind is in a
much less untutored condition than tradi,
tion would have us believe.

From the New York Sun,
The Norfolk Landmark, asks logically,
"Why, as matter of right, should a man
pay a tax on his prOperty-all his worldly
goods-and then, in addition, pay upon
the income derived from that?" In Am
erica no man does that, as yet, but if we
ever arrive at such pass, it will be be-
cause in the year 1924 the Democratic
party and the republic were betrayed into
the hands of the Populist party that had
been seemingly annihilated at the polls in
the preceding election.

Indiana Falls Into Line---the RepubIi-
nicIpal Elections.
Municipal elections were held through
out Indiana Tuesday. The only cities not
voting were indianapolis and Evansville.
Terre Haute, the home of Senator Voor-
hees, elects the whole Republican ticket by
majorities ranging from 800 to 1900, Re
publican gain on mayorality of $50. Bed
ford gives a clean sweep for the Republi-
cans. South Bend, usually Democratic,
goes Republican by $50. Goshen, usually
Democratic gives clean sweep, with Re
publican maiorities of from so to 800. At
Valparaiso where the Democrats had a
majority of 100 two years ago, Republican
maiorities range from 7G to 300. Law
renceburg, usually Democratic, elects the
entire Republican ticket. Laporte and
Michigan city, usually Democratic, both
90 heavily Republican. All the gas belt
cities show increased Republican major-
tiles. New Albany, usually 1000 Demo
cratic, elects every Republican but one.
Green Castle, Bloomington, Delhi, Win
chester, Martnsville, New Martinsville ,
Franklin, Union City, and other county
seats went Republican. At Seymour, the
home of Congressman Jasper Brown
every Republican candidate was elected.
Upton, another Democratic stronghold, re-
versed its vote and went the other way. In
very few cases slight Democratic gains
were made.

A story was telegraphed from Indian
apolis Tuesday night, that Harry c. New,
editor of the indianapolis journal, had
made the announcement that eX-President
Harrison would be a candidate for renomi-
nation in 1896, and would carry the day
whoever might oppose him. Gen. John
c. New, father of Harry c. New, says in
the Washington Post that the indianapolis
story is a canard and Mr.. Harrison has no
idea of being a candidate in 1896 "Short
of some great emergency or contingency
like that which induces the patriot to take
up arms for his country, Mr. Harrison 5
name will not go before the Republican
national convention. This is in accord
with his own wishes "

The Democrats get a grain of comfort
out of the fact that, in the special election
in the third Ohio district Tuesday, the
Democrats carried the day by about the
usual majority, 5000 votes, electing Paul
j. Sorg over f. G.. Rathbone. The per-
sonal element evidently entered into the
canvass, for Sorg's home town, strongly
Republican, gave him 40S plurality.

The young folk of this generation don't
know anything about the old copper half
cents of 1871 but older people remember
them. One day last week the clerks in the
redemption department of the New York
sub-treasury were taken aback by having
100000 of these cents, weighing 1912
pounds, sent in by Connecticut bank for
redemption. 1t turned out that an old
nutmeg-state farmer boarded and buried
$4,000 in coin. His executors dug it up
the other day and these half-cents were a
part of the lot.

Nathaniel S. Berry, New Hampshire's
war governor, respected and venerated by
all the people of that state, died at his
home in Bristol last Friday at the ad-
vanced age of 95 years. He began life as
tanners apprentice, and as he grew to
manhood became a prominent and success
full manufacturer of leather. He filled
many minor offices and was repeatedly
a member of the state legislature. For a
term of years he was judge of the court
of common bleas and afterward judge of
probate He was originally a Democrat
but broke away from that party because of
its action in the slavery question at the
Baltimore convention of 1S40, of which he
was member He was elected governor
by the Rebublicans in 1861 and reelected
in 1862. He worked indefatigably for
the cause of the Union, and during his ad.
minstration 10000 men were enlisted
equipped and sent to the front.

During the past ten years Burlington
has expended from S150,000 to S200,000 on
its streets and yet the city can boast of few
if any really first class streets at the present
time says the Free Press. "The reason
for this state of affairs is that the money
expended on the roadbeds has been mostly
devoted to temporary work, and in a com
paratively short time the streets repaired
have needed improving almost as much as
when the expenditure of the money began.
This is the old old story. Brattleboro had
a similar experience until the stone crush
ing plant was erected and the policy adopt
ed of building a small amount of perma,
nent roadway each year. Some were
skeptical and at first thought the eXpendi
ture eXtravagant, but now the universa
verdict is that this method is the right one
Burlington will not make a mistake in fol
lowing the lead of Brattleboro.
