NO MORE SUGAR BOUNTY.

The farmers of Vermont, who voted
the Democratic ticket this week, should
read the following. Washington des-
patches of Saturday, say:
If the New England, New York and
Pennsylvania maple sugar producers ex-
pect to get any bounty for the crop
which they gathered during the months
of February, March and April of the
present year, they will have to recover
it from the government by means of
suits in court, for the secretary of the
treasury has decided that he will not is
sue any more checks on sugar bounty
claims. He holds that the passage of
the law repeating the Mckinley act re-
uuires him to suspend forthwith all op-
erations under the bounty clause. He
has consequently ordered that number
of checks which are already made ont,
and were in the hands of the commits
sioner of internal revenue to be forward
ed to their destination, shall be retained
in the department. The checks were
prepared for the purpose of paying the
bounty which had been earned on the
maple sugar crop of the spring of this
year, on the working of the second" of
last years cane crop, and on final pay
ments to producers of cane, beet aud
maple sugar last year in certain cases
where for some reason there had been
delay in passing upon claims. Nobody
who had bounty claim in the treasury
department unsettled at the time the
new tariff law went into effect will, I'M
der this decision, get anything, unless
they institute proceedings in the courts
and are able to recover. 1t is not posi-
BILE to determine with any eXactnesS the
number of such claims and the total
amount represented by them, because of
the fact that many of the maple sugar
claims have not yet been received at the
department. tits understood, however,
that there are claims from Louisiana,
arising from the proceeds of last years
crop, which have not been paid for.
But the principal burden of the decision
will fall upon the maple sugar produc-
ers. More than 5000 licenses were is
sued this year to this class of producers,
and under them they produced a large
amount of sugar in the aggregate
While the individual checks earned do
not average more than $50 or $50, it is
calculated that the claims already re-
ceived for bounty on maple sugar
amount in round figures to something
over $3.50, ,000 with more yet to be heard
from. 1t will be seen from the follow
ing figures how this bounty on maple
sugar was distributed among the States
last year, and it is said that the proper
ton would have remained about the
same this year: Maine, S57.7O; New
Hampshire, S2,4S013; Vermont, $685.
267 80; New York, S25, ,401.06; Pennsyl-
vania, SS,O9O.3O; Maryland, S2,763.39;
West Virginia, $156,26; Ohio, SG,l6394;
Michigan, 81 1,66S.65; Minnesota, S2l6.64;
Massachusetts, $S65.94; total, Sll6l2l.-
90. The secretary's ruling seems to be
particularly vulnerable. for the reason

The RAM BIER.

What a tame place is Library Hall now
on election day. The familiar and lively
electioneering of few years ago was en-
tirely lacking Tuesday; the Hall was too
quiet and monotonous to hold the curious
and the excitement loving that used to
gather there. 1t was simply a matter of
"deposit your vote and leave" The ro-
nance of election day departed with the
advent of the new ballot law, and instead
of fun and excitement, dull quietness
hung all day over the place.
-
A remarkable feature of the election
was the large Republican majority in the
face of the unusually quiet campaign.
Up to the very day the polls were opened
no rally was held, not even campaign
speech was made. Notwithstanding this
the heaviest vote for years was cast. The
Republicans show, on the State ticket,
gain of 120 over the vote of 1892, and
main of 25S over 1890. The Democrats
show loss of 81 over 1S92-presidentia
year-and a loss of 10l over 1890, fair
year for comparison, it being the nearest
''off " year. In 1890 the Democrats car
ried the State ticket in this town by two
majority, this year the Republicans tri-
umph by 357 majority. In 1892 the Re-
publicans secured scarcely 40 per ct. of
the votes cast here: this year they secure
nearly 66 per cent. This is Bennington's
proud protest against the rack-and-ruin,
and industry-kIlling policy of degraded
Democracy; and the figures show that
in this grand protest are large number
of Democratic votes.
W.
In Bennington, as in every other place
in the United States, the sale of playing
cards has been prob ibited since Aug. IS.
None can be sold until two cent revenue
stamp is placed on every pack. Now,
when our laboring man, after his days
work, would enjoy quiet game of cards
with his family, he finds that for every
pack he would buy he must pay a com
paratively heavy tax. On the other hand
when he steps into the neighbOring sa-
loon he finds the saloon keepers dice, his
poker chips, his billiard tables and other
kindred gaming instruments all untaxed:
This is a sample of Democratic tariff
reform" for revenue only.

The discussion relating to the liquor
traffic in Bennington, brings to mind the
solution of this problem in another Yer
mont town. Simply, q deep sentiment
against the traffic pervading the whole
town has been fostered and encouraged.
OF course, contraband goods are to lin
tied extent sold, but only on the quiet
and to those who "know the town" 1t
is not sold openly to every man and boy
as is the case here. There. the tratfici is
pretty nearly under control, placed there
by public sentiment aroused through
the frequent and rousing union meetings,
held Sunday and other evenings, promo
ted by group of enthusiastic workers,
and participated in by the citizens gem
orally. Such strong and healthy public
feeling against the liquor traffic has been
raised and sustained that every honest
and sincere effort to enforce the liquor
law receives hearty and commendable
support.

WOOL AND SUGAR.

Thomas B. Reed said the other day, in
reviewing the work of the last Congress,
that some of the facts connected with
the recent doings of that body, if Repub-
lican, would have caused a sensation as
of burning woolen among the people.
Democratic doings, or rather misdo-
lngs, are so commonly productive of bad
Odors that we become accustomed to
them and are wont not to notice them.
But notwithstanding that we have be-
come hardened to the country's NAL
Odorous condition, there is at present a
distinct sensation as of burned woolen
among the people, and the smell is very
bad And, under the influence of it all,
we are franticaly called upon to notice
that wool is going up" "Wool has adj
Yanced 30 per cent. already under the
new tariff bill'' is the present Democrat
ic scream, and the outcry is expected to
cOnfound all the disciples of Mckinley.
Let us look into tie matter. Wool was
rscently quoted at seven and one-half
cents pound. An advance of 80 per
cent makes the price nine and three
fourths cents. Thirty per cent. advance
sounds like something big. Translate
it into the plain statement that wool
sells for nine and three-fourths cents a
pound and there is nothing in it to make
the wool-grower smile.
Under the business depression pro-
duced 10y Democratic treason, wool was
rendered almost worthless. The Demo-
Gratis have passed their bill and a weary,
spiritless resumption of business has for
the time being advanced the price few
cents per pound, but, our word for it,
there is no announcement in this for the
American woOl-grower.
Now, how about sugarP Before the
passage of the last tariff bill the sugar on
the poor mans table cost five cents a
pound. The same sugar now costs six
and yone.half cents. That is an advance
of THIRTY PER CENT. in the cost of a
most important item in the necessary ex-
penlitures for the table in every family.

One of the first effects of the enact
ment of the mongrel free trade tariff law
is seen in labor disturbances IN all parts
of the country. 1t is not bad enough
that times should have been unusually
depressed for long time, but the wage
earners are asked to accept lower wages,
because by reason of largely increased
foreign competition resulting from lower
duties and free raw materials the manu-
facturers claim they cannot pay the
wages that formerly ruled. And the
worst is yet to come, while the fact that
there can be little hope for redress for at
least three years, makes matters infinite
ly more unsatisfactory. Meanwhile the
trusts have everything their own way
and are bleeding the poor of their life s
blood.

Canadian exultation over the new tar
if is exactly propOrtiOned to the dismay
which it has brought to American pro-
ducers. The Waterloo, p. O., Advertis
er of August oath, assures its delighted
readers it will benefit this country in
many ways" "Sawn and dressed lum-
Der and kindred materials" it adds
such as clapboards, lath, shingles,
slaves and cedar posts. have been placed
on the free list, and the effect of this
must be revival and expansion of the
lumber trade, with increased profits ac-
cruing to our lumbermen." But how
are increased profits going to accrue to
Canadian lumbermen unless they and
not American purchasers have been pay
ing the Mckinley duties? This Canadi-
an journal notes, too, the benefits which
Cleveland, German ct al. have conferred
on the Canadian farmers by reducing the
protection on American barley, hay,
eggs, cattle, sheep and horses. If the
Administration were only half so popu-
lar on this as it is on the other side of
the frontier, the Republican party would
have no show whatever in the elections.

The man who earned 80 day under
the Mckinley law, now receives not
more than $1.50 per day in many cases,
if he gets anything. Two dollars would
buy forty pounds of Mckinley sugar.
One dollar and half will buy about
twenty-three pounds of Cleveland sugar.
For single days labor, if paid in sugar
and sugar" is reported to have be-
come quite circulating medium-you
receive seventeen pounds less than you
did under the Mckinley law. In other
terms, that is a loss of 42i per cent. in
the purchasing power of your wages
when you go out to buy sugar. Verify,
verify, fortunate is the man who "takes
none in his'nn these Cleveland times.

Democrats will be about as lonesome
in the Vermont Legislature as in that of
Rhode Island.
In the interests of Executive tranquil
ity it is to be hoped that the Vermont
wire has no connection with Gray Ga
bles.
The list of Representatives, in whole
counties solidly Republican. is quite in.
teresting. We understand that our
friends in Dorset were confronted with
two Republican candidates, besides the
usual opposition, and that many of the
voters were obliged to go home before
the last ballot. In the light of subse-
quent events we think those responsible
for Democrat this year by one major
ity, when the marble interests of that
town are languishing, will repent in sack
cloth and ashes before the next three
years are past.
With the Free Press we regard the re-
suit all the more significant in view of
the fact that it was not brought about
through the agency of a brass baud or
pyrotechnical campaign, but is the out
come of the quiet thought and the exer-
else Of intelligence on the part of Yer
mont's voters. Vermont has now led
the way, it remains for the Republicans
of other States to follow. The question
now is, 'What of the other States that
are to come after Vermont"
The returns received from Bennington
county indicate that the conservative
estimate of the BANNER Tuesday night
is realized, and that the county majority
will exceed 400; in 1892, Presidential
year, it was S3l. The county ticket is
not far behind the State as will be seen
by the few figures received.
A despatch from Rupert says: Major
ity for Senators, 1853; States Attorney,

If the various bills proposed by Popu-
