ford.
The house on the farm in Guilford,
owned by G. S. wilkins, a former proprie-
tor Of the American House, was burned to
the ground Friday afternoon between and
5 o'clock, the cause of the fire being a de-
fective chimney. The farm is in the south
ern part of the town near the Bernardston
road. Nearly all the contents of the house
were destroyed and the barn, which stands
a short distance away, was saved only by
hard work on the part of Mr.. Wilkins and
some of his neighbors. Mr.. Wilkins had
been away during the day and did not re-
turn until the house was nearly destroyed.
His wife was in the garden when she first
noticed the flames breaking out around the
chimney. She Immediately gave the alarm,
but the flames gained rapidly and were be-
yond control within a short time. The
barn was saved by means of bucket brig
ade which was formed from a we'll a short
distance off. The house was insured for
$500 in the Vermont Mutual company
through the agency of G. F. R. JENNIE.

The literary department of the
Woman's club met with Mrs. H. M.

was a good attendance and the meeting
was very interesting. The lesson in
cluded the following topics: "Early

Hayden read a paper on "Solon," Miss
Panton a paper on Battle of Mara
thon," Mrs. Clement gave an interest
ing biography of Xerxes, Mrs. HEREFORD
read a sketch of the "Battle of Sa-
lamis," and Mrs. Donovan read a full
account of Pericles and his work. Mrs.
DIR. Clark, in telling of the Pelopon-
nesian war, spoke Of Demosthenes and
Alcibiades as being two Of the noted
during that time. After a thorough
discussion of the lesson, the ladies adj

PROTECTION VS.. FREE TRADE.

Ine UDlCed States is now the largest
exporter in the world. Despite the as.
sertion that a protective tariff would
injure u markets abroad, our expor-
tations have gone steadily on, gaining
upon those of free-trade Great Britain
until we have outstripped her in the
race. The exports from the United
States in 1889 were. for the first time
in history, greater than the exports
from Great Britain. while the growth
of our exports since the adoption of the
protective tariff has been far greater
than that of the mother country. An
examination of the record of the past
thirty years-for it would be unfair to
include the period of 1861 to 1868,
which was SO much affected by the
civil ~war-would show that our own
exports have more than quadrupled,
while those of Great Britain have in
creased but about 40 per cent. Our
exports of domestic manufactures in
1868 amounted to $269, 389, 400, and
in 1898 to $780, 9l. 913. Those of
the United Kingdom were in 1868,
f179, ST., 0l2, and in 1898. E233, $780,
792. That we should have doubled our
exports more than twice during thirty
years of practically all protection,
while Great Britain increased hers less
than half during thirty years Of free
trade, ought to forever silence those
who have been asserting that protection
IL injurious to the foreign commerce Of
tbs country adopting it.

The farmers continue to be the chief
beneficiaries in our wonderful export
trade. More than five hundred mil

were exported in the seven months end

100000 PER DAY.

The predictions that the Dingley
tariff would produce sufficient revenue
while it protected manufactures are
fully justified by the recent record Of
that act. The average daily receipts
from customs during the month of
March have been seven hundred thou
sand dollars per day, an astonishing
sum when compared with the receipts
of the last six years under three tariff
laws. The average annual expenditure
during the five years preceding the be.
ginning Of the war with Spain was Que
million dollars per day. The general
plans Of the trainers of the revenue leg.
islation have been t O make the Gus
toms law pay one-half of the running
expenses, aud this was all that was ex-
pected Of the Dingley act. This plan
would require from it only $500. 900
per day, while as above indicated it
has produced during March all average
Of about $500, 600 per day in customs
receipts alone. While about 10 per
cent of this is from the duty on tea,
which was levied as a war measure and
not a part of the Dlngley law. all
the remainder is the normal produc-
ton Of that law and shows that the
prophecy of it's trainers, that it would,
the internal revenue law then
upon the statute books supply ample
revenues for the ordinary expenses of
government, was fully justified.
