"Congress shall have power to lay
and collect taxes, duties, imposts and
excuses, to pay the debts and provide
for the common defense and general
welfare OF the United States: but nll
duties, imposts and excuses shall
be uniform throughout the United
States"
So reads section eight Of tho first
article of the constitution OF the UNI
ted States. And from the adoption OF
the constitution until the present time
the American people have been allow
ed to trade with each other without
paying tax or impost for 80 doing.
They have enjoyed freedom of trade
over n vast domain, and In consc-
uuence OF this, and other blessings OF
free government, they have waxcd
strong and great, and prospered be-
yond comparison. hut IL seems that
the present congress-, ~ represented
by the ma jority OF the ways and
means committee, will not allow
the blessings of our national Tree
to follow the flag into the newly
acquired possessions, but has de-
termlncd TO impose the burdens Of
different tariffs upon trade between
territories over which floats the flag
of freedom the stars and stripes. II
the doctrine of expansion be right In
regard to territory, II must ndonhtcd-
" be right Ia regard to trade, There
should be 40 extension OF territory
unless accompanied by extension of
trade, and extension of American
freedom Marrow, restrictive tarilf

majority persist in their enactment,
the democrats in congress should Join
issue with them upon this question,
and the. kindred question Of protec-
iion to trusts. They would thereby
plant the standard of constitutional
democracy, and assemble the hosts.

The MYSTERIOUS Trio.

"Durno" and the Novelty Enter.
tanners appeared here on Monday
night, In the interest of the fire com
pany. The combination came under
the management of the Central Lay
ceum Bureau. This, apart from any
previous knowledge Of the entertain
ers, was a favorable introduction for
them. We can say that the perform
ancc justified the audiences eXpecta-
tions. Durno, rs n maglclan; Han
sell, as N whistler: and Emmett, as a
ventriloquist, made up combination
which displayed great deal of tai
ent and highly entertained the audi
cncc. The clever performance OF
Durno in his tricks, showed clearly
that dcxtcrity is an art that needs cul-
tivntion: not only as II matter of en-
tertainmcnt, but for the real use OF
the hand, as it may have wonderful
skill of which SO many have little or
no knowledge. The wonder of the
voice never appeared to better advan-
tagc than in the clear, bird-like tone
of Ilanscll. AS for Mr.. Emmett,
We now believe. as we read some time
ago, about the "soul of the violin. y
What melodies, what sounds are
boxed up in this little instrument,
waiting only for the touch of the mas
tcr's hand. His ventriloquism was
amusing and entertaining, The hall
was full in spite of the bad night, and
we are more than glad that such n
fine company have been successful in
their first venture in this region.
They deserve the patronage of the
public, and they give the worth of the
money in the entertainment provided.

BRADSTREET'S ON BARRE.
What the Leading Trade Paper Has
to Say Concerning this City.

Within the past twenty years the
city of Barre, Vt, has grown from a
small town of about l,500 population
to a city of nearly 1900 inhabitants
Twenty years ago a few granite cut
tiers brought forth from the quarricS
only enough material to supply the
immediate vicinity, but today there
are in operation more than twenty
large quarries in and about the city,
1t is said that $50, 900 per month is
paid to quawymen in the form of
wages. While most of the product is
disposed Of in the United States, a
considerable amount isshipped abroad.
1t is thought by granite men in that
section that the industry is yet only
in its infancy. The quarries seem in
eXhauSt;ble, and the granite is 81 To-
Gated as to permit its being mined at
a comparatively small expense. En-
forts have been made on different Oc-
casionS to combine the quarry proper
ties, but thus far no combination has
been effected. AS an illustration Of
the stability Of the city of Barre, it
may be said that most Of the work
men own their homes and take an in
terest in public affairs. The city pos
sesses large and we'll appointed school
houses. excellent water and sewerage
systems. Residents Of the city take
an interest in its progress and are
sanguinc as to its future.

Although by far the greater quantity
of the arguments were on the atfirma-

to be on the negative, and this was
sustained by vote of the grange on
the merits of the question. The dis
cussion was lively one and afforded
as much entertainment as any we
ever had.
