THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND

can State Platform This Year-The
Warning il Contains in View Of the
Experience Of Two Years Ago
The Republican platform, as drafted
by Hon. @. NJ Barber, a square and
straightforward man and an earnest be-
lever in local option, read as follows re
garding the subject
awe therefore recommend 70 the general as
sembly that, having been 30 amended as 70 give

SAME BE FURTHER CONTINUED IN

In these words It was given out TO the
press and so printed in the Montpelier
Daily journal on the day Of the kepub-
lican state convention, with the evident
understanding that that was what the
committee on resolutions had agreed
upon. BY some process, whereof we
know naught, by the time the platform
was presented to the convention II read
as follows'

That is. the promise that "the same

deliberately and purposely struck
out.
For what earthly purpose-can any
one tell or concieve-eXcept that the
Republican party does not propose 20

doubtless under orders from President
Roosevelt has within the past fortnight
attempted to break the force Of this
non-partisan exhibit by issuing a state
ment showing that the cost of food, at
retail prices, has increased Is per cent,
while wages in certain selected employ
ments, have increased l6 per cent.
The Vermont farmer should note well
the significance of this best showing the
Republican Policy can make for itself.
Food, generally speaking, is what the
farmer sells, and when even at retail
prices, it has advanced only Is per cent,
it means that the cost of what the
farmer has to buy has increased far
more than the 80 per cent which the
whole average shows.
As to the alleged increase in wages,
laboring men know betteT-the opera
tives at Fall River who are striking
against reduction that aggregated p
per cent for the same period, the men "a
Chicago who are striking against a re-
duction to less than IL l-2 cents per
hour from the Beef Trust that has again
and again raised prices upon consumers,
while cutting them from cattle raisers.
1t may be, and doubtless Is, true that
in particular industries, where the labor
Unions have been able to control, there
has been the wage increase the Admin
istration claims, but for the labor of the
country at large it certainly Is not true.
The simple truth is, from every pos
sible way Of looking at it, that the
Trusts are plundering the country, as It
was never plundered before.
In future issues in this column we
shall show how there Is a complete and
sure cure for the Trust evil in a return
to simple Democratic principles.
And how the Republican cure-pre-
tending, after building them up by
wrongful stretches Of Governmental
power, to knock them over by another
stretch Of Governmental powers pure
humbug was never intended to be any
thing else, has amounted to nothing
as in the case of this very Beef Trust,
against which the Roosevelt Administra-
ton got out an injunction year ago;
has anybody ever heard that this Trust
was hurt by iti-and under the laws OF
business can never amount TO anything.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR EACH

What 1t Pays and How for the Luxury
OF Big Republican Majority and Gross
ly 0ne-Sided Partisan Misrule

In 1882 Vermont State

average family of 1910
persons, TO 1910 IL
In 1908 Vermont State ex-
penses had become to the
same average family Sl052 2-3

age family pays $50 leo
And let no family, and no voter to
whom the appeal is made TO help anoth-
er and bigger Republican majority this
year, imagine for moment, that he es-
eapes paying it.; for it is the nature of
taxes to inevitably distribute themselves
in rents and prices, so that there is no
man, however poor, but shares the bur
den in his living expenses.
And let him not imagine that he is
getting anything in return for this
1915 10 extra he is paying annually;
for neither he nor any human being can
point out anything that the state gets
in return for it all but waste, extraya-
gance, useless multiplication of offices
and commissions and abandonment OF
Home Rule methods.
II he likes ii and wants more of It,
he can surely get it by continuing TO
help roll up Republican maiorities.
