fore, it is neither just nor reasonable
that the farmer who owes debt on
his farm should not be allowed an off
set to the amount of the debt, while
such offset is allowed to the merchant,
banker and professional man. The
thing is exemplitied indetail in an ar
ticle from the Randolph HERALD,
which we reproduce in another col
umn. At the last session of the legis-
lature bill was introduced TO prac-
tically abolish this iniquitons system
Of double taxation, and the farmers in
that body were in majority, but they
permitted themselves to be out-gener-
aled by their opponents, and actually
voted against their own interests and
killed the bill. 1t will be little over
year before we shall have another
legislature, and every farmer in the
state who desires to rid himself OF this
intolerable burden of double taxation
should see to it before the time comes
that the right men are elected to rep
resent them in the halls of our state
legislature, who will not be hood
winFed nor browbeaten nor hvpno-
tized into voting against their own VI
tai interests, but who will stand up,
man fashion, and pass bill that will
at once and forever give this unjust
system its quietus. While we are hear
| ing the cheerful intelligence of the inn
provement in manufacturing and 9TH
er business, the farmer is still COM
planning Of hard times, and he has
only himself to blame for il. AT least,
| it is the fault Of the men who were
sent to our legislature and who proved
recreant to their trusts. There is time
lenough before another election for
farmers to talk this matter over seri-
|ously among themselves and see TO it
that the members they select at the
next election shall be true to their in
terests and have backbone enough TO
stand firm against all argument, per-
suasion or bribe."
/ And the Londonderry SITTER has
this to say
"The West Randolph HERALD AND
| NEWS depIores the fate OF the farmer
who has to pay taxes upon his mort
gaxed farm while the holder of per-
sonal property gets off so much as he
| is indebted for. The HERALD AND
News tells it about as it is, but who
makes our laws il not the peoples rep
resentatives? And who are the peo-
pie? Why, four-fifths of the people
| in Vermont are farmers. They. then,
make the laws, and do let them enjoy
them in peace. They are satisfied, q
Y course. 1t is true that once In awhile
we hear growl but we notice that
the growler goesto the polls and votes,
I as he has for over quarter OF a cen
tury, just as the bosses tell him. II

That Tax Law.

In an editorial article, the Free
Press declares that "Vermonters have
been in clover ever since the state was
able to walk alone--politically, mate
rally and periodically" Immediate
ly following, republished with appar-
ent approval, is long and very abb
surd article from the West Randolph
HERALD AND News, the keynote Of
which is the lurid statement that YER
monters "are martyrs to a system OF
oppression that would be condemned
in Russia Apparently there is some
mistake about the ''clover" ors'the sys-
tenn OF oppression The two do
not consist Montpelier Wotchmdn.
The Wdtchmdn is entitled to its
opinion of the article it refers to,
which appeared in this paper two
weeks since under the caption, "Re-
form in Taxation;" but it has no right
to misrepresent us to its readers. 1t
knows very well that we did not make
the statement attributed to us. What
we did say was that those Vermont
| farmers who had failed to pay of the
mortgages Oh their farms in the face
of the present tax law had not lost
honor, but were martyrs to system
OF oppression that would be condemn
ed in Russia. Fortunately, all YER
monters have not been placed by cru
el fate where they have suffered this
experience.
We discussed this subject Of double
taxation with the Watchmdn some
two years ago. 1t certainly failed
most ANONYMOUSLY then to prove that
ourposition was absurd. 1t has never
attempted reply to our lastarticleo on
the subject at that time. If it has any
thing further 10 say now we shall be
pleased to hear from it.
| We do not claim the credit Of being
the first or only paper in the state "a
call for the repeal or revision of the
law relating to the taxation Of mort
gagged real estate. 1t has been a sub
| ject OF much comment in the past
both in the press and in the legisla
| ture. Real estate holders, especially
farmers, who are most oppressed, have
striven hard to obtain justice, but tht
sspowers-that-be" who, it is needless X
say, are not farmers, have put then
off on the grounds Of ''expediency,
or scared them into belief that re
|duced taxation meant the payment q
higher rates Of interest, and an enor'
nous shrinkage Of the grand list, and
SO repeatedly, by gross misrepresenta-
tions, have convinced real estate hold,

MILL BUILDING.
Some Practical Suggestions, Which Ought
to Lead to the Establishment of Cot
ton Mill at Abbeville.
Chattanooga, Tenn.


Several cotton mills have been establish ID
in North Carolina, and are now doing Il sue
ceSsful business, which have been built on
the insiallment plan. The recent great in
crease In the building of new cotton mills
caused correspondent of the Charleston
News and Courier 10 make visit to some of
these mills in order to ascertain by personal
observation and inquiry the merits of the sys-
tenn and the methods in which II is applied.
He says In his report: We found the mill
men ready to furnish any and all data asked
Tor and ali very enthusastic In the work in
which they were engaged. There are quite Il
number OF these mills that were started on
the installment plan, and have yet to hear

mon way of going about the matter Is TO fix

LABOR AND IT'S SUPPLY.

The labor question was also looked into and
we learned that common farm labor gives the
best satisfaction in these small country mills
The reasons assigned were that the "faclory
labor" is OF a rowing disposition ana people
taken from the Immediate vicinity soon

that they strive hard to give satisfaction anC
