into the Thricc-a-wcck. 1t furnishes
3 papers OF o pages apiece, or
eighteen pages every week, at the

not only much larger than any week

fact it combines all the crisp, fresh
qualities of daily with the attrac-

to see the point. \ majority of our
intelligent voters, we believe, would
like to know whether Vermont has Il

In an interview in the Boston
Sunday Herald Senator Morrill, APP
pears as Il very much less ardent
protectionist than was generally sup
posed. and it can easily be surmised
that he isn't in sympathy with the
Republican stump orators and calam-
ity howlcrs who are clamoring for a
return to Mckinlcyism and who
seem determined to force the tariff
issue into the next campaign. The
Herald says:
"Thc Mckinley tariff. he says in
effect, was not such tariff as he
would have made. This veteran
authority on the subject of protection
from the protectionist standpoint de-
clincs to indorse its extreme provis'
ions. He voted for the bill and IA
vorcd it because it was party meas
urc, and because it was a bill agreed
upon anon. the kind Of projections
lists with whom he was acting, but
he did not approve its more extreme
features. 1t is easy to read between
the lines of Senator Morrill's inter.
view. and learn from it that he die
not approve the calling of manufact
urers who were asking for increased
duties to Washington, and allowing
them TO make a bill to their owl
minds, as those who framed the Nc
Kinlcy bill did"

VEST SCORES CLEVELAND.

He Makes An Impassioned Plea For
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-A very ami
mated consideration of the financial
question took place in the senate as soon
as the session opened today. Mr.. Gull
lom presented dispatch from all the
leading banks of Chicago, urging that
the presidents recommendations be car
ried out at the earliest day possible.
Mr.. Vest Dem, Mo- followed with
similar dispatch from St Louis Chamber
of Commerce. That was the text for one
of the most stirring scenes that the SEN
ate has witnessed in many days
Mr. Vest said that the Chamber of
Commerce did not represent the feel
ing of the people of Missouri,
nor of the country on the fnan-
cial question. He did not believe
tn e people favored the retirement of the
$50U,0U0,000 of green backs and treasury
notes and the substitution of no currency
at all. He did not believe they favored
gold oblig atiOns running fifty years with
interest aggregating $75,000.000 at the
end of that time
1t was selfish suggestion that posteri-
ty should be left to pay this bad debt. The
obligations of this senate were as binding
toward posterity as toward the present
generation. 1t was as much the duty of
| the senate to protect the future as to
! adopt the suggestion of the president to
| look after the present and let the future
| look after itself
Mr.. Vest was by this time putting such
energy and dramatic force in his words
that hewas given eager attention from
the senators and from crowded galleries.
"The pres dent has declared war on
silver" proceeded Mr.. Vest "He would
make us accessories to this effort to fix
| the gold standard upon u.s."
The senator asked if any man really
| believed the supposed emergency could
not be met by the treasury payments
in silver. And yet the impression was
being conveyed to the public thai
the country was on the brink of ruin Il
the president had the power he would
force US to the single gold standard.
'But," said Mr.. Vest, impressively, and
raising his right hand in emphasis, SO
far as l am concerned, I will never vote
to issue bonds to secure gold and place
US on single standard"
Mr.. Culiom rose at this point with
question as to what the finance commit
tee, of which Mr.. Vest is member, in
tended doing towards securing some
definite policy.
Mr.. Vest paused for a moment be
fore replying, then said: 81
might be more proper to lie
the chairman of the COMMITTEES
answer the question, but in his absence
will say that | do not believe that ther,
is any possibility of the finance commit
tee agreeing on any measure to report t,
the senate"
