production means the suspension OF
production for commercial purposes.
The true way to encourage forest pro-
tt ction Is to maintain or increase the
value of forest products. To encourage
the reforesting of lands worthless for
any other branch of agriculture, the
value of forest products must be sus
tanned or advanced. When forest lands
have become valuable, the wise lumber
man has an interest in preserving aud
perpetuating their growth. To cheaper
the value of forest products is mani
testify to encourage waste and destruc
ton.
AS to the maple orchards of the
state, concerning which the Brattle-
boro Retormer has become solicitous
and processes to e I'd in free lumber an
earnest of their preservation, the man
of average sagacity, it seems TO US,
would find in the bounty on map e
sugar, under the act of $780, the strong

grows standing for the revenue they
will annually bring; yet the Retormer
is advocating tariff to extinguish this
important encouragement to forest
pres rvation, this fruitful source of
revenue to the farmer.
Existing law offers a tangible, rea-
sonable and substantial encouragement
to the owners of timber lands to pro-
tect those lands These substantial adj

hand, the RJormer processes to be will

for very wild and wary bird in the

not been reared in that school of the

that kind of "primer."

The Tariff and the Forests.

The democratic defenders of the
Wilson tariff bill, in its application to
Vermont interests, justify the putting
of lumber on the free list on the ground
that the measure "may arrest the de-
struction of the forests" aud Gin the
end may tend to preserve the maple
sugar orchards which contain 80 much
of wealth for the future"
There is hardly room for argument
on the points Vermont democracy seek
to make in defense of a proposed
measure that is freighted with ruin to
every material interest of the state.
The theory that to cheaper the value
Of a product will tend to arrest the de-
struction of the sources of that product
may be found in the democratic
"primer of economies" since the text
books of the democracy contain almost
every heresy-economic, financial or
political; but the man of practical af-
fairs is not taking much stock in this
theory. To cheaper the price of wool
is to diminish the flocks of sheep, and
free wool means practically the ex-
tinction of the focks. To lower the
price of potatoes below the cost of

The Waterman for 1894.

The reasons for the changes made in The
wATcHMAN, January 1. 1893, have been
fully justified by results The enlargement
of the paper has given space for an extern
sion of the state and local news service and for
the adoption of other improvements which
had long been desired. With the begin
ming of the fufllment of the plans of the
publishers, those who have read the WATCH
MAN during the past year are familiar.
The improvements made are an earnest of
hose that will be undertaken. The fact
that the new WATERMAN has received the
popular endorsement is attested by the ad-
dition of thousand new names to its sub
scription list, by the extension of its circu-
lation into new fields, and the unqualified
expressions of satisfaction that have come
voluntarily from its old friends and support
ers in all parts of the state, and particularly
from Washington county and throughout
the region of central Vermont.
A feature of the paper which has given
great satisfaction to the general reader, as
well as to the people of the communities
more Immediately interested is the special
write-ups of the thriving localities within
the radius of the WATCHMAN's circulation.
These have disclosed the details of the life
and business of thrifty communities some
what removed from the lines Of railways
and public observation. but which are the
seats of quiet but busy life and the real
sources Of the states material prosperity and
her moral greatness This scheme of discov-
ering Vermont to Vermonters will be con-
tipued and extended; the state and local
news service will be increasingly developed
and perfected, and the papers devotion to
Vermont and Vermont interests and institu-
tons exempliied in every way that enter
prise can suggest
THE WATcHMAN's various departments,
Agricultural Household, and others, will
be maintained with such improvements as
experience shall suggest.
The coming year is the year of the state
election and the meeting of the legislature,
and will be, therefore, one of unusual interest
to the citizens of the state. The WATCH
MAN, published at the state capital, has
opportunities for publishing political news,
and particularly news connected with the
session of the legislature, not possessed by
journals less favorably situated You Dtll

on the foreign basis, pass the bill. AT
present your inaction prevents us from
doing business at all. - Commercial
Bulletin.
THE presidents message is an aban-
donment of his scheme to perpetuate
the Hawaiian monarchy. The country
is to be congratulated that the miserable
business has been brought to an end,
and that the people of the United States
and their representatives in congress
have at last been permitted to know for
what purpose the nations authority has
been secretly used for months in mat
ter of so much importance. 1t has
been a severe strain upon the public
patience, and has not added to the
reputation, either for wisdom or pru-
dence, of the president or his secretary
of state.-C Cincinnati Enquirer (Den1).
To us the most discouraging thing
about this message is not the SANDER on
the character of the country Involved
in the attempt TO hold it responsible for
a conspiracy against friendly nation;
not the scheme to carry out important
policies without the knowledge of con-
gress or the people; not the effort to
break up the continuity of the presi-
dental office and introduce personalism;
not the substitution of the private de-
tective's report for public records; not
even the plea of executive authority to
dictate to foreign people their form of
government; it is the falsehood and
duplicity revealed in the sending of
minister of the United States accredited
to government with the kindliest ex-
pressions of good will and at the same
time secretly instructed to intrigue for
its row.-Rochester Post Cypress

A DEPUTATIoN of unemployed workmen
in London waited upon Mr.. Gladstone
provide work for the unemployed by build.
ing light railways in London. Mr.. Glad
stone, in reply to the request, said that the
want of employment was not peculiar to
London or any part of Great Britain. The
government sympathized with the men and
their families in their distress, but it would
be difficult for the government to engage in
work that was beyond its usual powers.
There were parties, Mr.. Gladstone added,
that desired the government to become the
owner of all the railways in the country.
To a certain extent he shared in this de-
SIRE but it was a complex question, which
could not be decided without mature con-
sideration. For the present it was impossi-
BILE to consider the question, but he prom
ised to do so when the time was opportune.

A TrOublOus Year.

The new years greetings may be sim
cere. If mountaineering faith is
behind the wishes for happiness, the
frowning heights that lower on the
opening month of 1894 may be removed
but they are pretty big mountains.
The members OF the gilded circle, pos
SCISSORS of vested sources of such happi-
ness as solid wealth or an assured COM
petence may bring, may abide serenely
in the hope and expectation of a
happy new year; but for the man whose
worldly goods are in business ventures,
whose fortune is tossed in the financial
and industrial tempest that has broken
over the land, whose life has become
battle for commercial existence, and
for the laborer, seeking now in vain the
once fruitful opportunity to earn his
shelter, food and re,-for these classes
the wish of happy new year is clouded
with a deep shading of irony. The
great majority of mankind will remem-
Der the dead year for the disasters and
hardships it has brought.
Disaster, financial and commercial,
has been worldwide, but the logic of
events did not demand that because
England or Germany or France or India
is suffering from any cause or causes,
the United States should therefore be
similarly involved. 1t has been the
good fortune of this country, through
its geographical position, to be ex-
empted entirely from the eruptions
that disturb the old world, or to be only
remotely affected by them. Indeed, in
the compensations of Providence, it has
often happened that the evil fortune of
Europe has been the good fortune of
America. The causes of disturbance
at home have been chiefly local, and the
fact that those causes still exist and are
pregnant with change and forebode dis
aster, bedims the opening year in the
great nation of the new world on which
the sun of January has rarely risen in
clouds.
So much, in brief, for the world and
the American nation at large. On this
particular spot, this little dot on the
great north continent called Vermont,
the sun has shed his warmth, and the
pinchings of want have been lightly
felt. Here and there, the iron hand of
the universal curse has been laid with
somewhat of heaviness. but the people
of the state in general have pursued
their vocations without interruption.
There appears to be no unusual suffer
ing. The merchant has found his sales
somewhat reduced, the manufacturer
has had prudent regard for the tokens
of storm, but the farmer has pros
pered in measure exceeding his pros
perity in the years of greater general
success in the other departments of
industry; and in Vermont the farmers
reward is in large measure shared by
the minor estates of the common
wealth. May it please the temporal
powers to obey the mandates of heaven,
and not overturn the foundations of
the states condition of peace and
abundance. Then will they leave stand
ing also the temples which have been
reared to life-giving industry in sister
states, and the prayer for happy new
year will not become a stale conven-
| tiOnality. a hollow mockery.

William McKendree Springer to Queen
LiliuOkalani l.

While other democrats in congress
are silent, the Hon. William McKen-
dree Springer of Illinois will offer at
the earliest opportunity joint resolu
ton declaring that, inasmuch as great
wrong has been committed in Hawaii
in the name of the United States and
by the interposition of its armed forces,
" this government must restore to the
queen her own armed forces, and must
disarm the forces of the provisional
government, which were armed and
equipped by the aid aud und 3r the pro-
lection of our navy. Anything short
of this is a mockery of justice, a dis
grace to our diplomacy, is unworthy of
a Christian nation, and travesty upon
our devotion to the principles of local
elf-government." That is about the
language of the resolution which
Brother Springer will offer, after the
holiday vacation, in propo'ing to con-
gress a declaration OF war against Ha-
waii to restore the queen, and to carry
out the enterprise which Mr.. Cleveland
attempted upon his own responsibility,
and in which he 50 disgracefully failed.

IT is said on good authority that Great
Britain has determined to get possession of
the Gilbert Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
Sir John Thurston, British high commits
sioner for the Western Pacific and governor
of Fiji, recently completed an inspection of
the Gilbert Islands. He reported that the
British flag should be hoisted on all the
islands, as it was nearly year ago on Bu-
tartario. His report dwelt on the richness
of the islands and the prospect of develop
ing British trade. He approved the practi.

MIR. GLADSTONE celebrated his eighty
fourth birthday last Friday. Commenting
upon the event, the London Times asks if it
is for the public interest that man past
eighty-four years old should remain pre-
mier, and then answers the question by citing
Gladstone's opinion of twenty years ago,
that nobody ought to be premier after his
sixtieth year. "Gladstones experience is
that of a Nesto,," continues the leader,
"but Nestor did not try to play the part of
Agememnon or Achilles. The position OF the
independent adviser, whose knowledge and
criticism will be always at the nations SER
vice, would fit Gladstone better"

THE minority of the members of the
house foreign affairs committee makes
a sharp report on the administration
connection with Hawaiian affairs. The
action of the president and the secre-
tary of state is declared to be an inva-
sion of the rights of congress, viola
ton of the laws of nations, and con-
trary to American policy and traditions.
The facts the minority recite substan.
tiate their conclusions. The language
of the report is bold and aggressive.
1t is severe, but just, arraignment of
the administration.

And yet President Cleveland, that stern

sympathy with the people of Hawaii in
their aspirations for freedom under an

Others had formed TO escape and which

death is about as follows:

twelve months for larceny of live stock,
