A MATTER THE AGENT EVADED

In his evasive attack on the admins
tration of the Republican party in
Vermont the Democratic advertising
agent entirely avoided some facts con-
corning State expenses and their rela.
ton to State taxes which are of real in
terest to the voters Of Vermont, and
which show that the Republicans have
continually striven to lift the burden
of taxation from the people with con.
spicuous success. Let US look at the
years 1882 and 1901 from another
standpoint and judge just why the
Democratic advertising agent did not
call the attention of Vermont voters tc
this particular matter.
During the two years term ending
July 81, 1882, THE ENCESS OF EN-
PENSES OVER RECEIPTS WAS
THE ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF $5G7,
40 and after the people had PAID \
DIRECT STATE TAN OF S464 ,953.19,
or about $3.50 FOR EVERY MAN,
WOMAN AND CHILD IN THE
STATE, there was still a SHORTAGE
OF $102,4 27.G3.
During the two years term ending
June 80, 1904, there was technical
deficit of very few thousand dollars
and NOT a SINGLE CENT WAS
PAID into the treasury in the shape
of DIRECT STATE TAX upon the
people, AND NO STATE TAXES
WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE
NEXT TWO YEARS. What matters
it to the taxpayers Of Vermont if State
expenses do increase as the State ad-
vances, if the Republican party can
and has legislated the burden of taxa
ton from the shoulders of the people
to the shoulders of the corporations
where it belongs. This is feat in the
management of State affairs that can.
not but receive the praise of every
ordinary taxpayer, be he Republican,
Democrat, Prohibitionist, or Socialist
and according to the Democratic ad'
vertising agent the Republican party
is entirely responsible for it, because
he says they have been in absolute
control during the period mentioned

WHAT WILL YOU GUT oUT7

The voters of Vermont are sure OF one
thing at least, and that is, the Leglsla
ture will always enact the will of the
people if such course is right and hon
orable in every way. III fact this Is
particularly true of the General Assem-
bly, of Vermont, because the men who
compose it are direct from the people
and no legislators in tue world are SC
closely in touch with their constituents
as they. This being the fact the voters
of Vermont can strike from the above
list, representing increased expenses,
any or all the items they choose, fol
the legislators will obey them in all
honorable requests.
Keeping in mind that the administra'
ton of Nermont's government does not
cost the taxpayers u single cent in di'
rect taxes, what shall we strike out
of the list?
AS before noted the increase in the
cost of caring for the insane is entirely
due to the fact that whereas in 1857
the various towns cared for their in.
sane at home or in Brattleboro as they
could with least expense, in 1904 the
entire burden was carried 10y the State
WITHOUT a STATE TAX.

In 1882 Vermont let her veterans OF
the Civil war care for themselves SC
far as the State was concerned. In
1904 the State paid ST., 2S7.60 as her
share of maintaining the Soldiers
Home at Bennington. Is there a Demo
crat in the State who will openly say

1t would be idle to assert that any
voter in Vermont will advocate going
back 10 the town system in caring for
the insane. An example of a single
town will illustrate the folly OF such 8
course. In 1882 Chelsea maintained
two insane people at Brattleboro at a
cost of about $500. In 1904 Chelsea had
ten insane persons being cared for by
the State free of expense to the town

At the meeting of the executive
committee at the Lincoln hotel August
10 B. B. Weber was reelected chair
man; ]. H. Edmisten, vice chairman;
+. D.. Eager, treasurer, and the Sc
lection of secretary was left with these
officers, with the understanding that
]. R. Farris would be the man if his
services can be secured. Lincoln was
chosen for state headquarters, the To-
cation to be fixed as soon as PROPOSE
tons are all in. At this time it looks
like 1.-THE Royal" formerly the Walton
which has been made new from top
to bottom, will be the place. Work
has been begun and there is deter
mined feeling that the fusion cause
can and must win.

I that character should outweigh the
dollar. Whether he work with Drawn
or brain, it is the worker who should
be monarch Of the world.
Not wealth, not birth, not office, out
the worker-he who has noble ideals;
he who wants to achieve; he who has
message and mission, and looks
upon the earth as room to work in
and the blessed sun the light to work
by-he who, clinging to those con-
victio1s which become a part of his
life, would rather die than make cow
ardly submission to what he felt to
be wrong.
For myself, do not believe that the
present tyranny OF the corporation,
the monopoly and the autocracy of
wealth can endure forever. Some day,
some day the American peop4c will
rise in their resistless majesty and
drive the usurpers from the places
they have seized. Some day popular
sovereignty will come again ana put
its foes to rout as it did in the time
Of Jefferson, as it did in the time of
Jackson
1t may be that this effort of mine to
rally and arouse the real democrats,
the real believers in popular govern
ment, may come to naught-but no
matter what befalis, will accept this
call, which seems to me to be the
call to duty. AS fearless John Adams

to William J. Bryan, and declared that

two campaigns, could never support

Mr.. Tibbles made a short speech
Of acceptance. He said that the last
time he was in Cooper Union he was
there in the interest of an oppressed
people, and that he was glad to APP
pear again in the same cause. THE
wealth Of the country belongs to and
should remain with the producers
rather than go into the already too
well-flled pockets of the predatory
