Increase under free trade. .$1St, ,164, 7SO
During the twenty-seven years of Re-
publican protection, the average annual

the country was $64,714,SS4. During the
last two years of Democrats free trade
administration the average annual in
crease in 1.-The interest bearing debt of the
United States was $65,5S2,3 1856
This comparative record shows two
things-the business character of Repub-
lican legislation and fnancierlng, and the
superiority of the protective policy. De-
spite all the arguments Of the Democrats
in favor of the policy of favoring for
eign manufacturers and foreign working
men to the detriment of our own, there is
no voter Of the United States, among
the working class, who has felt the pinch
of the business depression of the past
two years, who would not sooner today
have the prosperous times of 1891 and 1892

times since June, 1S9S with the Wilson

In our state news this morning will be
noticed comment from an Albany paper
concerning the habit of poking subscrlp-
tion ksts and money extracting scheme g
under various DISCUSSES into the hands
Of city merchants. The people Of Asto-
ria, in the gloomy years now past and
over have borne their share of these
Affections. To laudable public enterprises
their pocketbooks have been always open.
To less meritortous private schemes they
have given with willing, even a prod!gal
hand. And at the same time property has
been depreciating, the problem of life
has become harder, and many among us
once wealthy have been compelled to go
through periods of unhappiness and strug-
gle amounting almost TO penury. The
payment of taxes year after year during
this stagnatton has deprived dozens of
even the common necessares of life. But,
notwithstanding this condition of affairs,
when approached a few weeks ago for
donations toward the coming regatta, all,
buoyed up with the hope of the near real
ization Of their hopes for a railroad, gave
and gave generously. And now It is time
for rest. Business men, in justice to
their families and themselves, should In
future exercise their very best judgment
when called on to lay out money for
matters not within their legitimate
sphere. They have well earned this i'm
munity from the inroads Of sharks and
fakirs and ought, In Astoria's
dawning prosperity, to draw salutary les
sons from their open-handed and to some
extent unwise lIberality in the past.

SPECIAL CITY MEETING
Votes to Give Captain Clarke and His
Sureties Relief from the Judgments
Against Them.

Votes to Give Captain Clarke and His
Sureties Relief from the Judgments
Against Them.
The special meeting called for last Mon.
day evening, to see whether the city would
vote to exempt Captain d. P. Clarke and
his bondsmen from the judgments standing
against them, called out hallfull of
voters. Mayor Wing presided, and the
warning was read by City Clerk Merrill.
in substance that Mr.. Clarke and his sure
ties should be excused from their obliga-
tions. Mr.. Laird spoke on his resolution,
and said that during Mr.. Clarke's in.
cumbency Of the Office as collector he had
kept the town, school and village money in
one fund in the bank, and that, when he
was called upon to settle with the Union
school district and the town. he did so by
taking the money out of this general fund,
and when 1t came to final settlement with
the village he was short in his accounts.
Mr.. Clarke had never mixed this money
with his own, had never used it in his own
business or in speculation. If these judg-
ments were forced, they would strip him of
his property and make him slave as long
as he lives. A very small tax on the grand
list would wipe this thing out, and in justice
and equity he believed this resolution
should prevail and that Mr.. Clarke and his
bondsmen should be relieved We know
the man and we have duty to perform.
The mayor inquired whether, from a legal
point OF view, the city had authority to do
what this resolution called for Mr.. Laird
replied that he was not posted, and could
not ans wer the question. Pending the dis
cussion OF the question whether the city had
right to adopt such a resolution, Mr.. Wing
made a full explanation OF the case, show
ing that the city, in enforcing the claims to
Judgment, had been at an expense of some
800. On this statement of the case, Mr..
Laird withdrew his resolution and sub
stituted one providing that the city coun-
Gil be authorized TO settle the aforesaid
suits, judgments and executions with ID. p.
Clarke and his bondsmen for the sum of
$500 On this question George L, Blanchard
called for ballot.
Colonel j. III. Lucia thought that full
explanation should be made OF what became
OF this money, and in what manner Captain
Clarke accounts for this discrepancy. Mr.
Laird replied stating in substance that the
shortage arose from the payment OF money
that had really never been collected
j. w. Brock asked for statement OF the
total amount of upcollected taxes. H. A.
Huse replied that, in round numbers, it was
81 800 for the years 1888 and 1889, and that
the 50, 700 collected that is now short was
used in paying up old deficiencies for which
Captain Clarke did not collect the money.
Colonel Lucia stated that he had grave
doubts as to whether the city had authority
to do what was embodied in this resolution
He moved 70 amend so that it would re-
lieve Captain Clarke and his sureties Of
these judgments so far as the amount Of the

The Defender Scores One.

In the first brush for the Americas
cup, the Defender " is victor by de-
cisive margin. In the race sailed on
Saturday, fifteen miles to windward
and return, the American boat passed
over the course in eight minutes and
forty-nine seconds less time than the
Valkyrie." Measured by distance,
the defender finished about two
miles ahead of her rival. According to
popular report and understanding, the
weather on Saturday was just such as
the British boat was particularly fitted
to improve to her best advantage. She
was built for light and variable winds,
and these prevailed. For the first hour
the Englishman led the American, but
the latter was first at the turning stake
by several minutes and more than
doubled her lead on the homeward run.
More than twenty thousand people
watched the duel, cheered it's varying
phases, and broke into tremendous
pean of triumph when the victorious
yacht crossed the finish line. Steam
added to the wild demonstrations all it's
boisterous hozannas. Not unmindful of
the courtesies due the stranger, friendly
cheers were given the rival which had

EX-REPREsENTATIv CONN of In
diana, a democrat, makes the subjoined
trenchant summary of the situation as
to the movement to nominate Mr..
Cleveland for third term:
1.-THE administration was never before 80
much in politics. Democratic dissension in
Kentucky, Maryland and Ohio has aroused
the turgid partissnship Of President Cleve-
land, and, instead Of breaking out in chol-
eric platitudes he is using the machinery Of
the administration to bring sweet peace to
warning democratic factions, in the interests
of his third term. German, with his sugar
trust record, Brice, the champion OF sena-
torial corporate rings, and Blackburn, the
fres-silver idol, have suddenly become en-
dowed with angelic qualities, and, because
they are supposed to control the party ma
jority in their respective states, they are
being held to the presidents heart to be
warmed into Cleveland democratic life
To Secretary Carlisle is entrusted the con-
version of Kentucky bourbonsm. His
voice will soon be mingled in unison with
that of Free.Silver Joe in behalf of party
harmony, whether it comes from 16.to-1
calamity organ or a gold-mounted corpora
ton concert grand,-just so it is equipped
with a Cleveland subbass attachment. If
the democratic deed of trust which Senator
Brice carries in his inside pocket can also
be ranked with the Cleveland cuckoo
crest, Ohio will be as safe for third term
as If counted among the heavenly host.
But in Maryland the situation is somewhat
different. Senator Germans pull is only q
three.fnger hold, and it is doubtful if even
President Cleveland's magnetic influence
will mesmerize enough democrats to elect
the ring ticket. To complete the circuit
and turn third-term current into the next
national convention it will also be neces-
sary to capture New York, Indiana and
another important state or two. New York
has it's democratic troubles, for which Sem
ator Hill holds the panacea, and the next
effort Of President Cleveland will probably
be to secure control of the senator's medi-
cine box. Indiana is considerably wrought
up over the silver question, and it will be
necessary to proselyte Senator Voorhees, in
order to secure that delegation. This was
done once before, and perhaps the same
charm can be worked again. In any event,
an extraordinary effort is being made to
wheel the democracy into line for Cleve-
land, third term, and continuation Of the
national fishing club at Buzzard's Bay"
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1895-09-11

taxes uncollected in the years 1888 and 1889
would do it-a total OF about 1900.
w. A. Lord said that Captain Clarke and
his sureties were, from legal point OF view,
holden for every dollar OF the money, but,
in his opinion, 1t was question OF equitable
dealing with a man, and not question of
law. He did not believe that there was
man in the city Of Montpelier who would
ever accuse Captain Clarke of dishonesty
He was man who had been negligent Of
his duty as tax collector, and perhaps too
kind to poor men. Either take all that Is
due from Captain Clarke and his bonds
men, or relieve him 80 that it will do him
and bis family some good.
Colonel Lucia withdrew his amendment,
and ballot was taken on the second reso-
luton offered by Mr.. Laird. W. A. Lord
A. j. Sibley, L. j. Deavtt and j. III. Lucia
were appointed tellers. For the resolution
260 votes were cast and GO against it, and it
was declared carried Captain Clarke was
warmly congratulated by his friends as
he left the hall upon the outcome OF the
matter

come last to the goal. Then music led
the way, and the jubilant thousands
sang the "Star Spangled Banner"
Barring accidents, the race of Saturday
is regarded as conclusive of the result;
but there will be ample time for the en-
joyment of the full fruition of the
hopes of patriotic Americans when the
final race has been sailed and won.
The "Defender must twice again
show her heels to the Valkyrie at
the finish line before the formalities of
victory are completed.
Tuesday was apparently "Valkyrie's"
day, the English yacht crossing the
finish line two minutes ahead of the
Defender" Little is known of the
details of the race at the time of writ
ing, but the dispatches state that the
" Defender" was handicapped by an
accident, at the start, and yachtsmen
express the opinion that the race will
have to be sailed over again. But who
would begrudge one race to the stranger
within our gates?
1t was in August, 1851, that the
Yankee sloop America" built for
and owned by Commodore A. j. Ste
vens of the New York Yacht Club,
won the cup for the recovery of which
the Valkyrie" and eight predeces-
sors have valiantly commended. The
course was round the Isle of Wight
from Cowes, distance of some thirty
miles. Eighteen yachts started in the
race, but the "America distanced by
seven miles her foremost pursuer. In
1857 the cup was presented by Com
modore Stevens to the New York
Yacht Club, and made prize open to
challenge by yachts of all nations.
The winning of the cup originally, and
its successful defense, are remarkable
events in the history of aquatic sports,
and constitute striking tribute to the
skill of American yacht designers and
sailors. In modern naval architect
ure, whether of war or commerce Tor
pleasure, America is reaching rank in
the very fore front of the contest for
supremacy.
