Market For Raw.

The market during the entire week
has been under the influence of de
pressing conditions. chief of which is
the fact that Mr.. LIGHT. the German
expert on beet sugar crops, has found
It necessary to confirm his previous
expectations of having TO increase the
present beet crop by 100000 tons,
making the unprecedented crop of
6,710.000 tons of beet sugars and Civ
ing thereby the possibility of a sur
plus OF sugars in the world at the ter
mination Of the coming campaign OF
at least 100000 tons-a quantity of
sugar which is entirely beyond any
conceivable requirements for several
years to come. as to annual produc-
ton, compared with consumption.
The result of this increased produc-
ton of beet sugar must necessarily be
shown long time in unprecedented
low prices for sugar throughout the
world. and il will be a wonder If dis
aster does not reach some producing
countries besides Cuba. Already, the
lowest price on record for beet sugars,
of rs per cwt. is quoted in the Euro
pean market. which is a trifle below
the parity of 37,c for s6 test centri-
fugals. Our local markets have been
void of interest. both buyers and sell
ers holding aloof and waiting develop
ments. Current quotations are I'M

The Oleomargarine Bill.

For two weeks past there have been
intimations in the Washington des-
patches that after all an oleomar-
garine bill may % be finally passed
at this session of Congress. 1t will
be remembered that the bill originally
passed by the House had been weak
ened by the addition of several
amendments. In the Senate these
amendments were stricken ont and
other changes were made, requiring
concurrence by the House. When
the bill went back to the House, OBJ
lection was raised to the proposition
to disagree to the Senate amendments
and ask for a conference. This ac-
tion sent the bill back to the House
committee on agriculture. When the
bill goes once more before the House
by report of the agricultural Commit
tee it will have to go on the House
calendar, which has come to be the
graveyard of numerous measures.
The committee on rules could make
a special order for the consideration
of the bill, but the Democrats on that
committee are opposed TO tie pend
ing measure, and will not consent to
the adoption of a rule providing for
its immediate consideration. Friends
of the measure evidently feal that it
will be the policy of the opposition
to kill the bill by keeping l. in the
hopeless retirement Of the House cal
endar.

From the st. Adams Messenger
The Mccullough literary bureau

from Bennington a four-page circular

a bona fide Vermonter. Just think
this over a moment. Think of a
man running for the governorship of
a state and the people of that state
so uncertain Of his identity that they
must all be carefully educated by
means of campaign literature to know
Just who he is and where he lives.
Can any one ask for a more frank
admission that the character IL Gen.
McCullough's citizenship is in ioubt?
If he was a Vermonter and o. suffi-
cient Importance as a Vermorter to
be seriously regarded as a candidate
for governor, would not his fellow
Vermonters know it by this time?
Did anybody ever suggest the publ
cation of pamphlets to prove that
Governor Stickney was a Vernonter,
or that any of his predecessor were
Vermonters?
Does anybody regard it necessary to
establish the Vermont citizenship of

THE WHISKEY DISTILlERS.
alton, and Recognition Of Their
Power,

49, ~
alton, and Recognition Of Their
Power.
One of the ablest and best informed
OF the Washington correspondents
says that representatives of the whis-
key distillers are assuming a belliger-
en- attitude. and threatening all
sorts of dire results If their demand
for a reduction of the tax on distilled
spirits to 20 cents per proof gallon
Is not acceded to. The tax is now
s1.10. There is a bill pending before
the ways and means committee to
reduce the tax to 40 cents. The
National Wholesale and Retail Liquor
Dealers association held a convention
at Cincinnati last winter, at which
the reduction of the tax was fully
discussed. and an agreement was
reached that Congress be urged to
fix the tax at 20 cents. II Is claimed
that this Is the best revenue produc-
ing point. In other words. that the
increased consumption will be such that
the government revenue at 10 cents a
gallon will be greater than IL the tax
is higher than 20 cents. Col. John
b. Thompson of Kentucky. president of
49, hAihOi ptdltlo dSSOtld-
ton, and chairman of the legislative
committee that represents the several
liquor dealers associations, is now in
Washington looking after the inter
ests OF the liquor dealers. He is
represented by this correspondent as
saying that unless something Is done
by Congress to lessen the burdens of
the liquor interest. the spirit industry

cal politics in every close Republican
district of the United States in the
election of next fall. If this does not
bring about the desired result. then
the liquor dealers must be reckoned
with in the next presidential election.
This action Is not dependent upon
any recent movement. "for there are
today in the United States more
thoroughly organized and ably ofic-
cred associations in every branch of
the spirit industry, from the distillers
to the retailers, than exist in all other
trade organizations combined. There
is one society alone, with $50, 900
members, which Is establishing daily
additional branches in every part of
the United States, and which will
have within a wear a membership of
quite 1,OO0, 900, but this is only the
beginning"
One of the main arguments urged
by Col. Thompson is that the manu-
facturers of distilled spirits and the
men employed in the industry num-
Der more than 1000, 900. They have
endured unjust burdens of taxation
for more than 40 years. "The
patience OF these people," he says
lis exhausted. They are no longer
willing to stand silent and see Con-
gress dissipating hundreds of millions
OF taxes which they pay to the gov
eminent for any schemes that the
trusts or great corporations can de
wise for the spending of money"
This is all highly interesting as show
ing the power which the liquor in
terests claim to hold, and believe that
they can WELD.

QUALIFICATIONS OF PROCTOR AND MCCULLOUGH.

but also Of the old town of Rutland.
and l. held all of the usual town of.
fees, has never been lacking in inter
est nor sh.iked any of the practical but
modest duties which go to make IN
town life. He has had the most com
plete kind of experience in the admin
istrf tive machinery of town affairs.
General Mccullough has had no
experience whatever along these lines.
We und rstand that he lever held a
town or local public office whatever
in the stlte. Whether it be because
he had &c interest in such things or
no time to spare or was regarded by
tie people of Bennington as not close
ly enough Unidentified with them to be
enttu-tcd with such duties, we do not
know.
(4) Mr.. Proctor, as secretary to
Cove. nor Ormsbee during the latter's
term as governor, was brought into
imm date relations with our state in
titutions. At present, as speaker of
the house of representatives, he is
orc Of the official visitors of those in
titutions.-We have never known
General Mccullough to have any con
Yection with any of them except the
sC.diers' home at Bennington, of which
We believe he is a trustee.
90 Mr.. Proctor, besides being at
7%fontpelier during one session of the
legislature as secretary to Governor
Drmsbee. has served two terms in the
house and once was its speaker. and
also one term in the senate. In this
connection it is worthy of note that
both times Mr.. Proctor was a repre-
sentative in the legislature he receiv-
ed the unanimous vote of his town.
General Mccullough has served
one term in the senate, and has never
represented his town in the house. 1t
is generally understood that. in late
years at least, we have never had a
governor yet hat had not at some
time represented his town in the low
er house:
60 Mr.. Proctor has served on the
finance committee in the house and on
the finance committee in the senate,
and in the legislature has always &C.
lively participated in legislation af-
fecting questions of state finances.
We are not aware that General
Mccullough took any active part in
the subject of state finances at the one
session he was at Montpelier or that
he has at any other time.
In view OF these facts we inquire
which is the older of these two men in
experience in those practical affairs
and interests which the governor of
this state ought to know?
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1902-04-25
From the Burlington News.l

Some of the Mccullough supporters
seriously advanced the argument that
because he is sixty-seven years old
and Mr.. Proctor only forty-one. the
former is the better nan for COVER
nor. We do not understand what age
has to do with it provided only a man
is not so young as to be immature nor
so old as to be senile. No objection
will be made to either candidate on
either of these grounds. But there is
a sense in which years make a differ
ence and it is not years of life, but
years of experience in those affairs
which ought to fit one for the govern
orship. Measured by that standard,
what are the relative merits of the
two men?
Among the class of questions which
most deeply effect the state and nee
essarily occupy considerable of the
time of the executives are: % the
public schools; GU the public high
ways; CD the machinery of town gov
eminent. for the town is the unit of
our local life; (4) our state institu-
tons; 60 legislative matters: and 80
state finances. What is the relative
experience of the two men along" these
lines?
% Mr., Proctor was educated in
the public schools of the state and his
children are o going to them. He
has taught a public school himself.
and has been the head of a school
board for eighteen years which man
ages public schools having nearly five
hundred pupils General MCCul-
Tough could not have beer in our pub
lie schools and he apparently has not
cared to have his children educated
in them. He has never had official or
other connection with them Or mani
tested any particular interest in them
so far as we know.
(2) Mr.. Proctor has been seven or
eight years the road commissioner of
his town. He has been active In the
conventions of the road commission
ers of his county. He Is a strong ad-
vocate of good roads, a practical stu.
dent of that subject. and in the legis-
lature has always been interested in
any legislation to promote tina de
sirable end.-General Mccullough
has never had anything practical to
do with our highways except to drive
over them summers. He is very

has never had any experience certain.

Why Candidates Withdraw.
GFrom the Randolph Head.

Gen. Mccullough has a CLAIM on the
governorship, we are told, because he
withdrew four years ago 'in he inter
est of party harmony" Win a can-
didate withdraws, as Mccullough did,
1t is common for him to assign some
such reason, but nobody is deceived
thereby. Candidates Withdraw for one
reason, and for one reasln only.
and that is because they arr satisfied
they cannot win. Mccullough knew
this in '9S. or he wouldn't have pulled
out, and because he showed he White
feather then gives him no preferred
claim now.
