Notwithsta nding the handicap expert
enced by the severity of the past winter,
the bee raisers are predicting crop of
honey this fall pretty well up to the
average. The quality of the product is
pronounced first-class, and orders booked
for early fall delivery are commanding
better prices than year ago. Early in
the season many apiarists became dis
couraged, as in some instances so per
cent OF the swarms had succumbed to the
cold during the winter, but the passing
season has proved an admirable one for
bees and the bee men stand to recoup
their fortunes, in part, at least, this year.

ETC., is the cause. It was found that one
firm had been using 100000 gallons
year in water motor.

How Others See IT.

'The reaction in Massachusetts" is
what the free trade Philadelphia Rec
ord calls the movement for free trade
in lumber, coal, iron, hides, wool and
farm and fishery products. In this
movement the Record sees a breaking
away from Republican lines on the
part of New England business men.
We imagine that the Republican sign
ers of the reciprocity petition have not
hitherto seen it in that light. 1t
should, however, interest them to note
with what satisfaction the enemies of
the Republican party regard the par
ticipation of New England Republicans
In what is in reality a covert attack
upon Republicanism

RECIPROCITY NOT WANTED,

Demand For Tariff Legislation
Comes From Free Traders.
There is no general demand any
where, except In districts where Demo
cratic ideas Of tariff legislation prevail,
for breaking down of the safeguards
now maintained. The prevailing senti-
ment among the great majority of the
voters has been and presumably is so
strongly on the side of protection that
the Republican party has been fully
warranted in maintaining it's tradition
al attitude with regard to this question.
The reciprocity agitation has been
very much exaggerated. Some special
interests desire a modification of the
tariff as affecting Canada because that
would be to their advantage. The peo-
pie at large do not demand it. And
the working of free trade, limited, as
recently seen, does not impress the in
telligent citizen as encouraging the be-
lief that more of it would be a good
thing. The tariff On anthracite was
abolished, and that on bituminous coal
was suspended. Can any one recall
that the people procured cheaper fuel
as a result Of admitting the Canadian
product duty free?
On the whole, "the people" appear to
be fairly well satisfied without either
reciprocity with Canada or free trade

Distribution of EDUCATIONAL Fund.

Hon. Walter E. Ranger. state superin-
tendent of education, has completed and
forwarded to the state treasurer the tabu-
lation for the distribution of SIS, 900
under Act No. 80, acts OF 1902. As is
well known the purpose of this law was
to get an equality of school taxation,
and to get as much school money as pos
sible distributed on the basis of taxes
raised for school purposes as well as for
school attendance. In 1908 one hundred
and twenty towns of the state raised a
so cent tax or more for school purposes
while this year 142 towns came in for
distribution of the $4,000. AS rule
the most pcpulous and wealthy towns
and cities do not share in this award al
though Barre city is a notable exception.
In that city an 80 cent school tax is
raised and their apportionment is
$776 80.

The rules adopted by the com mission
for the distribution of this SIS 900, pro-
vide that towns are to be divided into
classes according to the school tax raised
as follows: Towns of the first class to in
clude those raising from so to SO per
cent; towns of the second class to include
those raising from go to SO per cent !;
towns of the third class to include those
raising from 20 to 79 per cent; towns of
the fourth class to include those raising
from 80 to 80 per cent; towns of the fifth
class to include those raising from 90 to
80 per cent; towns of the sixth class to
include those raising from 100 to 100
per cent.
Towns of the first class shall receive as
many shares of the $4,000 as they
maintain legal schools; towns of the sec
ond class shall receive one and one-h half
times as many shares of the SIS, 900 as
they maintain legal schools; towns of
the third class shall receive two times as
many shares of the SIS. 900 as they
maintain legal schools; and so on.
Towns raising less than SO per cent ex-
clusively of state tax. interest on U. S.
deposit fund, etc., are not to share in the
distribution of the SIS 900.

The Chief Renefciaries

1t is the wageworkers of this coun-
try who derive the greatest benefit
from the protective tariff. 1t protects
them from the competition of cheap
foreign labor, which would be ruinous
to them. It insures to them steady
employment and good wages. AS they
are the principal benefciaries of the
protective system they would be the
principal sufferers from any relaxa-
ton in it. And that to which Demo-
Gratis apply the term tariff revision
means nothing less than an attack
upon the policy of protection ! >4as

The Tariff Tends to Make the states
One Country.
The American Free Trade leagues
banquet in celebration of the one hun
dredth anniversary of the birth of Rich
ard Golden came off according to the
programme at Boston. About the only
real cheer which the speakers at the
banquet were able to derive from the
present situation was such comfort as
they found in the fact that, as Edward
Atkinson expressed it, 1.-The prosperity
and progress of this country have been
due to the continental system of free
trade among the states under the con-
ditions of our organic law, bringing
the benefit Of free commerce to the en-
joyment of a greater number of civil
lied people occupying a wider area
than have ever been permitted to en-
joy that heritage before" But is it not
protection instead of free trade that
the Tapleys Of the league We're rejoic
ing in here?
The tariff has protected the country
from disintegration as well as from for
eign competition by tending to make
the states one country. The fathers
were wise enough to provide for this
very condition of things by forbidding
tariff charges by state against state.
Manifestly if the states were free to
lay duties on imports or exports against
one another we should have economical
ly not one country, but many, and par
ticuIar states by such course might
have practically annexed themselves
to foreign country. Such state of
things would have been out of the
question The states economic union
has proved the opportunity for and the
foundation of national protection and
has created the more perfect political
union which now prevails.
Union, in other words, is protection,
and protection is union. The magnif-
cent heritage which Mr.. Atkinson re-
joiced in is a heritage Of economic In
dependence Joined with that Of the
spirit Of nationality. There Is certainly
not grain of logical comfort in it for
free traders. But 1t must be remem-
bered that the Free Trade league was
bound to extract comfort from some
thing.-New York Evening Mail.

Kills Germs of Catarrh.
H y0mei Goes TO the Root of the Dis
case and Makes Astonishing Cures.

ease and Makes Astonishing Cures.
Catarrh cannot be cured by the use OF
pills, liquid medicines and so-called sys-
tenn tonics. Under such treatment the
germs of the disease will still live in the
air passages and increase and multiply.
Hyomei is the only scientific and thor
ough way to cure catarrh. Killing the
germs in the air passages, it enters the
blood with the oxygen. destroys the
microbes in the blood and effectually
drives from the system all traces OF
catarrhal poison.
Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers of Hyo-
mel to cure catarrh is the fact that W. B.
Eastman will agree to refund the money
if you say Hyomei has not cured you
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
$1.OO and consists of an inhaler that can
be carried in the vest pocket, medicine
dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The
inhaler lasts lifetime, and if one bottle
does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei
can be obtained for SO cents.
