TARIFF LAWS CoMPARED.-The
comparison OF the present tariff law
with the Wilson act authorized by
congress has been completed.
1t was made by Charles II. Evans,
who has been engaged in the prepa-
ration of all the tariff bills with which
cangress has dealt since 1872. The
comparison is made in rates expressly
named expressed III adj valorem terms
between the present law aud the Will
son law. The statement places the
average duty rate under the law at
54.66 ad valorem as against an aver
age Of 1910 under tile Wilson law,
the averages being figured upon the
basis of values in 1896. The schedule
shows the following increases ia per-
centaGes:
Chemicals from 2S.53 to 30.67, woods
and woolens, 1872 to S6.54 silks
from 46 So TO 53.41; e~arthenware aud
glassware, 35 to 52.47 METALS. 3S.1I
70 1921: sugar, 40.94 to 74.16 !; tobac-
co, 100 06 To l2l. 80; agricultural pro
duets, - II to 38.42; spirits. etc,
6l.54 10 6S SO; cotton manufactures,
1915 I 52.33. Some Of the increases
expected in revenue are as follows !:
Chemicals from s. ,619239 to $S,423,
0S4 earthenware and glassware from
S8,006 800 to 81, 1903, l49 metals from
Sl3, 196,4l6 to S17,4o7,4 s2 woods
from S605. T09 to S2,439,J36; sugar
from SIS, $40, 703 to S54,207, 642 agr..-
cultural products from $7,727,6l4 3
S14,5S7, 600.
These estimates are based upon the
supposi tion that the value and Volume
of imports will remain the same.

One opinion expressed is worthy of
notice; unless a sale is perfected, clearing
up all debt the directors are in heavier
than many people suppose. Mr.. Davis
formerly an attorney for the road stated
that they had spent over $4,000 of their
own money in travelling expenses etc, and
Mr.. Finn, the present attorney for the
road, stated that they had put their names
so $4,000 worth OF paper. In addition
to all this it is rumored that the directors
are personally liable under section 1924 of
the Vermont statutes for goody proper
ton OF the Indebtedness of the road. This
section says: "One fourth of the capital
stock of private corporation shall be
paid in before the corporation contracts
debts no debts shall be contracted by the
corporation exceeding in amount two
thirds of the capital stock actually paid in
and director asserting to the creation Of
an indebtedness exceeding such amount
shall be personally liable for the excess
If, as stated, the capital stock wa
100000, one fourth of this is $50, 900
which must have actually been paid in be
fore the corporation could legally contrac
any debts; but it is said that larg
number of the contracts were let befor

lows Falls society. The corresponding
secretary of the Vermont branch, Miss
Mary G. Loney of Burlington, was also
absent, and her report was read by Mrs.
P. F. Hazen OF St. Johnsbury. An address
of greeting was given by Miss Harriet E.
Stanwood of Boston, secretary of the Bos-
ton branch, and an address on missionary
work in Bulgaria was given by Miss Ellen
N. Stone of Samokoy, Bulgaria.
The afternoon session opened at 1.30
with devotional service led by Mrs. j.
H. Rabbit of West Brattleboro. Miss
