Vermont Trade Report.

Reports to Bradstreets for the week
speak more favorably of the retail bust
ness of the state with collections averag-
ing better than last week Manufacture
ing industries are on the whole doing as
much as last year at this time and
although in places there are reports of a
falling off, generally speaking the condi-
tions this month have been for an
increase. The unreasonable weather Of
a year ago retarded sales, while so far
this month the good weather has helped
materially to stimulate trade The far
mers have been more active in buying,
but as the hay crop has ripened much
earlier this year than last, they will
commence the work Of harvesting it.
The outlook in this line is very bright, in
fact it has had a tendency to place a
premium on beef and consequently
raise in price of cattle is noticed In
some sections reports are being received
showing that the wet weather of the
early part of the month has had ten
dency to retard the growth of the corn
crop, the seed has rotted ana fields
have to be replanted. This condition,
however is confined to small section
of the state. The granite and marble
industries speak a little more encourage
ingly regarding the outlook although
but slight increase is noted and collec-
tions remain about the same. Roof
ing slate industries, are still inactive,
mill stock business is active and the
sheds are busy filling orders.

Drift of Sentiment Towards State
Control of the Sale of Liquors.


1t was noticeable in the caucus at
Rutland two weeks ago Saturday night
that the Clement ticket professed to be
for Local Option and the other ticket for
high license.
1t is fair to suppose under the circum-
stances that the last ticket was largely
supported by those who do not want high
license, and the first by quite a good
many who do. But the fact that the
principle of local option and not
that of high license was placed at
the front by the Clement forces, and
also the fact that quite recently Mr.
Merrill, the candidate of the local option
ticket, said in a speech that his party
believed that high license was better
than prohibition; but that whether it
was better than State Control system
they did not know, for this latter had
not been tried suggests that Mr.. Clement
and his followers are seriously in doubt
whether they would not better abandon
the high license dogma and accept that
of State Control.
We believe if they do this, they will
find the current again with them. For
the signs of the times in every part of
the State point to the fact that the peo-
pie want local option with State Control,
instead of local option with a saloon con-
troll.
We believe this to be just as certain as
that two years ago they had made up
their minds that it would be better to
change the prohibition law. In doing
this, they did not know what they wanted
to change to, but having determined to
make change they took the first system
that was offered them; and this because
of its very general use in this country,
was that of high license.
But when the question came up in the
legislature, the principle of State Con
troll was introduced and discussed
quite at length both in the Assem-
bly, and in the newspapers of the State.
From the start it was received favorably.
For there We're certain principles con-
nected with it, that beyond any possible
question were sound.
First, the elimination of private gain
in the sale Of liquors. Second, the in
surance of a good quality of liquors when
purchased by the State. Third, the
division Of the profits which under any
system of regulation will be large
equally among the people, to reduce
taxation. Fourth, the reduction of the
number of places where liquor is sold
as under the State Control system, one
place for every 5000 inhabitants would
be considered a sufficient average.
We think it beyond question that the
drop in the vote by which the high
license law was accepted from a majority
believed to be % 900 or more, to some 800
with nearly 10000 voters that did not
vote, was the result of the agitation of the
State Control system and the favor with
which it was received by the people.
A year of license followed with all the
evils that come from the sale of liquor
under the high license system, in which
the element of private gain enters. The
result was a complete demonstration
that the people of Vermont did not want
