: Real Basis Of Tariff Legislation

For many years the iron and steel and
cloth manufacturing industries of the
United States have been the real basis of
all tariff legislation, and the same expert
ence will now be repeated in Great Britain.
1t is to the iron and steel men the commits
sion has turned for its first information,
and series of questions has now been sent
out to the textile Industries indicating that
iron and cloth will here as elsewhere re-
ceive the first and largest benefits from
any system of import duties which may be
adopted. The tariff schedule for these two
Industries will necessarily be somewhat
complicated. but the principle of free raw
material will be maintained In country
which Imports nearly all of such material
used In manufacturing processes Even in
this respect, however. the English public
has been much aroused of late owing to
the cotton situation in the United States.
Eighty per cent OF the raw cotton supply
comes from America. and the speculative
features of the market during the past few
months have meant actual starvation for
thousands OF operatives dependent upon
cotton from the United States to run their
spindles No condition has ever aroused
such earnest effort to develop new raw ma
terial supplied as in this case, and every:
untitled spot or the empire has been recent

Sentiment for C. c. Fits.
TBarre Times

The Times is pleased to note that the
sentiment about the state is growing
stronger in favor of Clarke c. Fits of
Brattleboro as a candidate for the Office
of attorney general created by the pres
ent legislature. The movement favorable
to him may be called really spontaneous,
that is 1t was not started by Mr.. Fits
himself nor pushed along by him. His
name suggested itself to the members of
the legislature (who, by the way, are the
electors this year, naturally enough on
account of his prominence in the pres
ent session. 1t is safe TO say that no one
of the new members has shown the capa-
bility that Mr.. Fits has in digging down
into difficult matters that have come be-
fore this Legislature; and it is further
within reason to say that no member, be
he new or old, has shown more aptitude
for the work. AS chairman of the com
mittee on judiciary Mr.. Fits has done a
vast amount of work and he has done it
WELL which is praise enough for any man.
AS a lawyer he is equally successful and
we can second the assertion of The Brat
tleboro Phoenix which says: There isn't
a lawyer in the entire state who meets
the requirements of the office any better
than the present chairman of the judic-
larry committee of the house." And after
these things are said this most pleasing
| fact stands out prominently that the
Bratteboro man is not a chronic seeker
| for office.

IN OUR OWN STATE.
MADE MAPLE SUGAR IN FALL.
G. II. Grimm Of Rutland Has New The.
DRY Regarding the Flow OF sap-Fall
Sap Sweet. But Quantity Small.

SdP OWOCht 0bh Sudhh'NJ
G. II. Grimm of Rutland, the maple
sugar expert announced Saturday the re-
suit of a series of interesting experiments
which he has been conducting for some
time past, the principal object of which
was to prove that maple sugar may be
made in Vermont in the fall as well as
the spring. The experiments were en-
tirely successful and the discovery may
revolutionize sugar making in Vermont,
as soon as it is perfected.
The experiments have been carried on
near Mr.. Grimm's home where there are
several large maple trees. n few days ago
he tapped one of these naples and i'm one
day secured three quarts of sap which
after being put through Mr.. Grimm S
process netted about two ounces of sugar
of the best quality, which shows that fall
sap is fully as sweet as that obtained in
the spring
In explaining the discovery Mr.. Grimm
said that while nearly everybody believed
that the sap comes up from the roots in
the spring and then flows back in the fall,
the theory is erroneous. The sap never
returns to the roots after ii once leaves
them. 1t Is entirely consumed by the
leaves and tender twigs and any that is
left when cold weather sets in freezes
within the wood. When the sun strikes
the tree on a warm fall day an expansion
follows and the pressure forces the sap
out wherever a wound is made.
Mr.. Grimm believes that sugar can be
made every month in the year except
June, July and August He thinks that
the quantity to be obtained in the fall will
be small compared with the spring flow
but perhaps enough can be secured to
bring in a good additional revenue to the
farmers.
Contrary to the general practice Mr.
Grimm always uses old wounds i'm the tree
instead of making new holes He opens
them by a roaming process. The method
Of making sugar in the fall is not pa
tented but may be used by anyone.

able, patriotic and hard work. In him the
state would have man of whom II would

SPORTING.
Yale ~. Harvard o-Dartmouth IL
Brown 5.

Brown 5.
Yale closed the foot ball season on her
own grounds Saturday by defeating her
old time rival, Harvard, IL to 0. Yale did
not have such an irresistible scoring
machine was expected, but this was
due in large part to Harvard's unex-
pected defensive strength which was far
better than in any game this season.
After several attempts to score in the
first half Yale took the ball on her own
81 yard line and in II straight PUSHES
carried II over for a touchdown. The ball
was in Harvard's territory a large part
of the time. but Yale would not have
scored in the second half but for block
ed kick by Kinney, the alert Bloomer
picking the ball up and rushing with it to
Harvard's three yard line Hoyt kicked
both goals. The game was witnessed by
81. 900 people in the most perfect foot ball
weather of the entire season. There was
not a long run or a single spectacular
play in the game. Harvard played 16
men but Yale went through the contest
without a single change in her lineup.
Yale intended to substitute Flanders, a
hard working substitute for four seasons,
in the last two plays, but owing to mis-
Judgment in timing the game time was
called before Field Coach Rafferty, eX-
pected. Captain Hogan decided, however,
that Flanders was entitled to the recog-
milton intended for him and he will re-
ceive his Y with the IL regular players.
Dartmouth and Brown had a gruelling
contest before 1900 people on the Hunt
ington avenue base ball grounds in Bos-
ton. Dartmouth started off with rush
and before~ Brown could recover from
well-directed attacks had carried the ball
over for two touchdowns, from which
Vaughan kicked two goals. Brown earn
ed the honor of crossing Dartmouth S
line, feat no other team has performed
-; ,l,a,, oil in CT
hard in catching the ball that he dropped

ed 1t up and tore over the line only Il
yards away.

Those who were suspicious of Repre-

their fears fully realized-providing they
feared that the gentleman from Brattle-
boro would make a leading member of the
house. His candidacy for the newly Gre

way, will commend itself to all who wish
to see the necessary qualities of ability,
earnestness and activity in that respon-
sible place.

Private Bank in Rochester Robbed OF $4,000

Sometime between one and two o'clock
Thursday morning burglars blew open
the safe II. the bank of Briscoe & Tup-
per of Churchville in Rochester and Sc
cured about $4,000. The robbery was re-
ported at 9 o'clock Thursday morning.
Three men in a top buggy were seen driv-
ing the direction of Rochester soon after
the explosion in the bank was heard.
From frequent robberies in that section
of the state 1t is believed that an organic
ed gang is at work.
