WASTE KEEPS STEP WITH RE.
PUBLICAN MAJORITIES.

How the swelling of state expenses
has matched that of Republican ma
jorities is well illustrated by the
year 1890.
In that year, all will remember,
the majority was cut down to about
$4,000, the lowest it has been for 80
years, and the state expenses went
down to 396,S55.52-BARELY HALF
what they are now under majortes
twice as large.
And yet nearly all the legislation
the insane poor act, the court house
and Jail statutes, the county examiner
system, that are made the excuse for
the great growth Of these expenses
was enacted prior to that time, and
any high-water mark that can have
any semblance of legitimacy, ought to
have been reached then.
At the very best that can be said.
the DOUBLING since has been a pure
matter of RECKLESS and PROFLl-
GATE WASTE.

the Increase, which it Is impossible
to extenuate or justify, and the more
defense Is attempted, the more clearly
this fact will appear.
Even thinner is the Free Press
plea that this outrageous waste
should not be considered because
most of the money comes from cor
porations and inheritance taxes.
Doesn't it know that the people pay
substitute taxes for all that comes
.r0m corporations, due to the fact
ihkt railroad property, savings bank
deposits (under $4,000 and corporate
property of all kinds, and the secur-
tiles representing it have been taken
from local grand lists and the entire
collection transferred to the state?
Moreover doesn't it know that the cor
porations also collect from the pub
lie in their charges for service every
dollar of taxes they pay?
This argument that because the
money comes from the corporations
1t is all right to waste it is a good IL
lustration of the statesman-hip that
afflicts Vermont.

Here's something new! Isn't it reason
able to expect that medicine that con-
tains ingredients that act on every vital
organ is sure to strike the diseased spot?
And that when it finds it. if it Is power
full and scientifically formulated will
regulate and drive disease from this
affected spot? That's the new principle
in DR.. Merrow's great SYSTEM RENO

TRUTH ABOUT THE TARIFF.
And the Policy to Which Democrat.
Are Committed The Wholesale
Extortion Under Republican Policy.

Watching closely the Republican
pewter that has appeared, though
stingily, in the state press the past
month, it is found to consist of warn
ings against Democratic free
trade
OF course the gentlemen who put
forth this stuff know it is pure hum
bug and that what the Democratic
platform and Judge Parker's explicit
declaration pledge. is a moderate and
conservative revision of the tariff
looping off the protection" that no
body denies to be excessive and care
fully conserving every honest interest
under it.
They know that a large tariff is nee
essary to meet the revenue needs OF
the government and that within this
limit there is more than room enough
for all the protection any industry
needs They know that the tariff
their party stands pat" for-far the
highest the country ever had-is a
tariff for trust robbery.
Their talk that this excessive tariff
is for the protection of labor" is too
stale for this generation, because no
intelligent man fails to know now
produces, American labor is the
cheapest in the world. Even MT
Blaine admitted it, in his report Az
Secretary of State, on the Cotton
Trade of the World, when he frankly
said that the higher wages received
by American operatives was fully
offset by the larger amount of work
they did. The same thing has been
proved by The consular reports and
comparisons-all Investigations con-
Quoted by the Federal government it
self-in the iron and steel and wooden
and many other industries, in fact in
every one where the comparison ia
officially made, The trusts them
selves are proving it every day when
they underseu foreigners in foreign
markets, at prices about a third less
than by the aid of the tariff, they
charge consumers at home.

THE FINAL WORD
Of Democratic State Committees
to Good Citizenship.
TRUTH ABOUT STATE EXPENSES

Warning Against Republican Attempt
to Fool the People, So Late as to
Be Safe from Exposure Some
Sample Items.
1t was announced a fortnight ago
that the Republican State Committee
would attempt an answer to the ex
posture made in these columns of the
enormous, unjustifable and unparal-
lelled growth of state expenses in
the past 20 years of great Republican
majorities.
Knowing that no such answer can
be made, without Justification, that
will in any considerable degree justi-
fly or excuse this growth, we have
watched carefully for the promised
appearance, in order to meet it with
the truth from the official figures. 1t
is now evident that if made at all, it
is to be made in the last issue before
election of this paper, so as to be be-
You'd reach of reply. Such action of
itself ought to be seen by every intel
ligent citizen to be a CONFESSION
OF GUILT.
We purposey made our first art
Gle in this talk with the people that
about state expenses so as to afford
the other side plenty OF time to reply
if it dared. because we knew the more
the matter was discussed and anal
yzed, the more complete and decisive
would be the verdict against Repub
lican misrue.
Articles have appeared in one or
two state papers. for which perhaps
the state committee may not be re-
sposible, which are, nevertheless,
samples of what may be expected in
defense They assert that the state

amout of $3.50. 526.O1 are included in
the $738,368.95 of state expenses in
1903. Whoever is responsible for
this statement, could hardly have
failed to know, as even the Free
Press admits. that these taxes
merely pass through the state treas
ury and do not enter into state ex-
penses at all" They are included in
the $1.601.30I29 which Treasurer
Bacon reports to have passed through
his hands during the year. His ac-
count is perfectly plain and business

that a more nearly equal division of

The Free Press undertakes to deny
this by citing the cost of care

be- only a transfer of eX-
pense from town to state. The truth
IS that the net expense of S149.975.99
under this account represents an in

either town or state paid in 1882, and
the bulk of it is for support as state
