DOUBLE TAXATION.

The Randolph Herald wants to hear
from the brethren of the state press
'son the subject of double taxation of
mOrtgaged real estate.n The subject
has been over and over discussed in
the state legislature. The farming
class elect majority of the members
and could have repealed the act before
this. What did they do at the last
session? In the language of the Earth
a co-laborer of the Herald in this mat
ter-"The farmers in that body were
in majority, but they permitted
themselves to be out generated by
their opponents, and actually voted
against their own interests, and killed
the bill" We don't propose to set up
as teacher to instruct farmers who
are capable of attending to their own
business; at the same time we cannot
help remarking that those bright rep
resentatives ''who voted against their
own interests had better be sent to a
kindergarten instead of the legisla-
ture.-LdndnlGrE.
This matter has been discussed by
the press and in the legislature for
many years, and the reason why some
remedy has not been found, is not
that people and the legislature are
dishonest, but that in the nature of
things it is impossible to make a
change in the law which will prevent
the double taxation feature, without
subjecting the poor fellow who is too
heavily taxed to a severer state of
things, through the power of the cred
itor who holds his mortgage. Those
who keep up the habitual racket
about double taxation will find, when
they undertake to formulate law to
prevent it, that they have tackled a

Application of Guardian to sell
Real Estate.

STATE OF VERMONT, ORLEANS DISTRICT

ENGLAND'S ATTITUDE TOWARD
BIMETALLSM.

Mr.. George w. Smalley, long the
Tribune, and now the N. Y. CORE
spondent of the London Times, in
letter to the Boston Journal writes of
the supposed prospect of bimatalism
under the new government as fol-
lows:
Bimetalism forms no part of the
program of this Ministry, and will
form none. Mr.. Balfour and Mr..
Chaplin are bimetalists-twoo out of
10 Cabinet Ministers. Mr.. Balfour's
election address contained no allusion
to that subject. Mr.. Chaplin's adj
dress has not been issued.
1t would be just as reasonable to
infer that because Mr.. Bolfour plays
golf or Mr.. Chaplin is fond of the
turf that the Ministry was committed
to what the former calls the Scotifi
cation of England or that horse rae
ing was to become Cabinet measure.
No doubt the Bimetalic League in
England is active. No doubt there
has been a movement of opinion
toward a larger use of silver. Mr..
Whitney saw that when he passed
through England on his way home,
and he was little misled by it. If
he had talked with some of the lead
ing English fnanciers they would
have told him just what it meant.
They are of the same mind now that
they were when Mr.. Alfred Roth
child made his proposal to the Brus-
sells Conference.-The silver should be
a legal tender to the value of five
pounds sterling. That was meant as
token of good will. He and his
friends thought then and think now
that the decentralization of silver
beyond certain point is injurious to
England, because it increases the
difficulty Cf maintaining her gold re-
serve. The more silver can be made
to do for gold the less the drain of
gold. That is about all there is in
English bimatalism, except in so far
as it is theoretical and academic. But
that may ultimately have consider
able effect on the silver industry and
on the market value and monetary
use of the white metal.

A London gossip writes: 'tThe Aqua

A writer in Scribner has an article
on the subject, "How to keep the

billiard tables and it's own bar and

The Rutland Herald every now and

pays much attention to the HeraLd's
rawlings at such times. People outside

prohibition, are, however, quick to
catch at the HerdId's statements and
consider them as worthy of belief.
Hence the allegation of the Herald
that if the prohibitory law of this
State were impartially enforced half
of the prominent citizens of Vermont,
including the governor, would be in
