There are now in the savings banks
of the United States deposits amount
ing to nearly $2,000,0O0,O00, the
property of nearly 100000 depos-
itors, the individual accounts aver
aging a little under $500 each.
Every dollar of that stupenduOus
sum was, when deposited, worth 100
cents. Every dollar of it is to-day
worth 100 cents. But the moment
free coinage of silver at 16 to 1
should go into force every dollar
would be reduced in value to about
80 cents, and nearly a billion dollars
OF the common peoples money would
be lost. The man who had deposited
hundred dollars worth 100 cents
each would be able to draw out only
a hundred sO-called dollars worth so
cents each. The average deposit
would still nominallv be 800; ac-
tually it would be only 5000. The
aggregate for the whole country
would still be $2,0OO,O00,00O in

chasing power it would be only ST.

Taxation and Expenses.

At the meeting of the State Grange
here in MOrrisvilIe two years ago in
December, Representative Smith of
this town and another gentleman
were made a committee to draw up
q bill relative to the sO-called double
taxation, and have it presented to
the next session of the Grange for
their action. Mr.. Smith drafted the
following, which by action of the
State Grange in Rutland last Decem-
Der, was accepted as a bill, which is
to be presented to the coming session
of the legislature by c. F. Smith and
C. j. Bell, who were made a legisla-
tive committee. The bill is some
what similar to one brought before
the last legislature and is in sub
stance like this
1t is hereby enacted by the General Assem-.
bly, of the State of Vermont
SEC. l Any person loaning money and
taking mortgage on real estate within the
same exempt from taxation by charging not
more than four and one-haf per cent interest;
no mortgage so given shall exceed the listed
value of said property.
SEC. 2. No exemptions shall be allowed on
personal property on such mortgage
The State Grange have also at one
time and another discussed the mat
ter of increasing State and Court ex-
pensps, feeling that the farmers of
Vermont being the bone and sinew,
back of what Vermont is and is to
be, bear largely the burden of such
expenses. In the one item of Court
expenses they refer to these figures
clipped from state paper 1.-The
net cost of the Vermont courts was
$48 ,464 in 1882, $39,765 in 1888
and $49,653 in 1884. In 1892 it
was $7S, 295, in 1898 it was $97, 935
and in 1894 it was $S3, For
the first three years named the cost
was $137,SS1; for the last three it
was $3.50, 913, or nearly double"
Messrs. Smith and Bell as repre-
sentatives of the State Grange, are
also supposed to propose some posi-
BILE legislative action that shall oper-
ate to decrease these expenses, but
just how, is not yet determined
With all due Difference to this same
genial Z. j. Bell, who is one OF The
State railroad commissioners at

clined if asked for advice, to suggest
Looping off of the heads of a few such
expensive commissions as a starter

will be visible only in the vicinity OF

not be considered of much account

theless, many scientific expeditions
have been sent out from the United

purpose of taking observations, and
