IN THE WHOLE UNION,

",
wealth increase has been 11b times
faster than the narrow. prescriptive
stagnating policies of immense Re-
publican policies have permitted tC
Nermont-does deny what is plain &c
any man of ordinary common sense
that a more nearly equal division of
parties would bring a very different
condition of affairs by developing
real and progressive craftsmanship
and effort to win by promoting public
good in place of the petty politics
and personal intrigue that now af-
flict the state.
The Free Press undertakes to deny
this by citing the cost of care
of insane, which it claims to
be only transfer of ex-
pense from town to state. The truth
is that the net expense of s149.97599
under this account represents an in
crease of about $4,000 over what
either town or state paid in 1882 and
the bulk of it is for support as state
paupers of people who ought not tc
be public charges at all simply be-
cause Republican legislation has
made no adequate provision for de.
termining whether they have rela-
tives able and legally and morally
bound for their support. Every law
y
ernors Page and Fuller pointed it oui
in vain
The Free Press cites the Soldiers
Home-without mentioning that Tn
Gle Sam gave us s6,04S to support il:
the State Laboratory,-who cost
was less than s10,000-and the State
Board of Health-only about $1,000
as explanations of the enormous in
crease. The truth is that these items
granting them to be all right, repre-
sent hardly oNE-TWENTiETH OF
the increase, which 1t 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
oesn't it know that <le people pay
substitute taxes for all that comes
from corporations, due to the fact
that 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
it is all right to waste it is a good il
lustraton of the craftsmanship that
affiicts Vermont.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

AS a necessary part of the out
rageous increase of state expenses
the worst, proportionately of any
state in the whole Union and worse
than imperialism, colonialism and
militarism has brought to Uncle Sam
-spoils politics have been carried to
the utmost extreme in the grossly
one-sided partisan misrule of Yer
mont.
In 1865, just after the war, with the
multifarious duties its closing en-
tailed, and with population within
four per cent of what it is now, the
executive officers of the state were
Just 10 in number.

enough to occupy the attention of Wis
ltors for many days. Nothing to com
pare with them was ever attempted be-
fore. They are the climax of several
decades of educa tional work which is
placing farming on high plane and
is making scientific agriculture pleas
ing reality.
The conspicuous role played by agri-
culture at the Worlds Fair should
bring untold benefits and wealth to
the farming community of the world
and impress all farmers with the i'm
portance and dignity of their calling
Passing through these colossal build
ings. studying the attractive exhibits
and fascinated with the bewildering
encyclopedia of rural life which Is
spread out Before his eyes, the Worlds
Fair visitor is impressed with the i'm
portant part the farmer plays in the
great world of industry, and every
farmer who views these interesting ex-
hibits is given a new pride in his vo-
cation if filed with inspiration and i'm
pressed with new ideas in harmony
with the progressive strides that farm
ing has been making for the past few
years. The visit will give an insight
into up to date farming on the most
approved plan and will bring new
hopes and blessings to the farm.
How properly to rotate crops. how to
get the best results from fertilizing and
irrigation, how to protect crops and
fruit from the ravages of insects-all
these and many more things of vital
interest to farmers and fruit growers
are taught at the Worlds Fair.

TRUTH ABOUT THE TARIFF.

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 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
tariff for trust robbery.
Their talk that this excessive tariff
is for the protection of labor" is toe
stale for this generation, because nc
intelligent man fails to know now
that measured by what it does and
produces, American labor is the
cheapest in the world. Even Mr.
Blaine admitted it, in his report as
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-

self-n the iron and steel and wooden
and many other industries, in fact in
every one where the comparison is
officially made. The trusts them
selves are proving it every day when
they undersell foreigners in foreign
markets, at prices about a third less
than by the aid of the tariff they
charge consumers at home.

Since 1860 only two out of 26 judges
elected to our Supreme court have
been Democrats.
When the Democratic party was in
power, it was careful to give its op-
ponents a full representation on the
bench, knowing that thus was to be
obtained the best balance and poise
and breadth of ideas for judicial SER
vice.
Even the Wings followed the same
policy in some degree and some of
the ablest judges they gave us, like
Luke P. Poland and Daniel Kellogg,
were Democrats when elected.
Though our bench since has gen.
orally been able and clean, the spoils
tactics of the Republican party have
done their best to make it otherwise.
The Gospel of Vermont-Constitu-
ton, Chapter 2, Section 25-says on
salaries, Whenever an office through
increase of fees or otherwise be-
comes so profitable as to occasion
many to apply for it, the profit ought
to be lessened by the Legislature"
1t is time to place the party of the
Constitution where it can compel
some attention to it.

WASTE KEEPS STEP WITH RE.
PUBLICAN MAJORITlES.

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
10000, the lowest it has been for 90
years, and the state expenses went
down to 96,S5552-BARElY HALF
what they are now under majorities
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

TWENTY TIMES WORSE THAN
THE WORST.

One reason why the American peo-
pie are going to vote the Roosevelt
administration out of power is that
i'm militarism, colonialism, extrava-
gance and jobbery it has increased
national expenditures nearly FOUR
TIMES as fast as population has in
creased-or "a per cent against
II per cent-since he was sworn in.
Republican ring rule in Vermont, in
pure waste and petty pilfering in the
past 20 years has increased state ex-
penses over 81 TIMES AS FAST as
population has increased.
Bad as present day Roosevelt Re-
publicanism is, the Vermont article
by the same standard, is over TWEN-
TY TIMES WORSE.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1904-09-02

the great growth or these expenses
was enacted prior to that time, and
any high water mark that can have
any semblance of legitimacy, ought tc
have been reached then.
At the very best that can be said,
the DOUBLING since has been a pure
matter of RECKLESS and PRoFLl.

This is likely to take the form. OF
statements showing how much is
paid out for these institutions with
out taking any account of their in
come Any citizen can readily de-
tect their falsity by consulting the
tables at the end of Mr.. Bacon's BIZ
ennial report for 1902.
Where the money has really gone
is illustrated by the amount of sal
aries, s61,75935, official expenses
s16,454.45, and commissions-24 OF
them of the kind in which Daniel
Webster we'll said civil government
always stagnates-s32, ,13O.69. Total
s110,344.49, while in 1865 all these
items took just s15,37O.73. The single
item of official expenses" postage
ETC., took $1,000 more than the whole
executive department took then
when there was vastly more work to
do because of war business and when
a dollar was not worth over two
thirds what it is now.
The postage and stationery account
alone, analyzed, means that every one
of these officials and commissioners
has been writing $500 official let
ters a year!
A legislative investigation few
years ago found that 100000 had been
expended by officials without war
rant of law; but the investigation
did not stop the practise and c. j.
Bell as cattle commissioner collected
for 364% days work in 1901 and 374
days in 1902.
Justice fees when prohibition was
in full swing, took $43,S0352 in a
year-of which $20,426.77 was in the
counties of Rutland and Franklin
where prohibition was at its rotten

lows are so desperate to get prohibit
tion back again.

The popular view of the relation of the
b'ood To human character and con-
duct Is marked In many = familiar ex-
preston. We speak of there being bad
blood between people at enmity. Of blue
blood" as indicating ancestry. OF "black
and In many another phrase mark our belief
that In mental. moral and phys cal man. the
blood Is the life" The one basis OF a health
the blood pure, disease has no permanent
lodging place In the system. For this reason
the use OF DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery rids the body OF diseases which have
their origin in impurity of the blood. II abb
solutely purifes the blood, carrying on the
waste and poisonous matter, increasing the
building up the body by supplying the blood
in quantity and quality such as is essential to
people out OF every hundred who give II q
fair trial.
