aMAKERs or THE UNION. .

Vermont and Rhode Island had to
come IN for a liberal amount Of knocks
from Senators from the western states
during the debate over the admission Of
several western territories into the
union. Vermont particularly appeared
to be the target for the oratorical guns
Of those who defended the petitioners.
In the course Of the debate the small
size of the Green Mountain state and
Little Rhody was brought up, and SEN
ator Spooner came to tire defence Of
Vermont and Rhode Island by declaring,
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1905-02-16

Mayor Barclay in his appeal to the
voters for support, printed in today's
Times, says ~The impression has been
conveyed by some or the newspapers
that the city has run behind during the
past year." meaning the Times, which
has criticised the expenditures at differ
ent times during the year. Mayor Bar
clay quotes the cash balances in the city
treasury Dec 81, 1908 and Dec. 81, 1904,
to disprove this statement, including
with the general city fund the general
school fund ut the end Of 1908 and
the general school and also building
fund at the end Of 1904 While these
figures alone do not give the real CON
dition Of the city's finances, they in
themselves do not furnish fair com
parison, because the school fund of Dec.
81, 1904, included about $4,000 Of the
school building fund, which is more than
offset by the debt owing On the new
school building. II this ID taken out,
the city has run behind about $4,000
for the year. But, as The Times said
above, these figures in themselves do not
show the city's real financial condition.
The fact that stands out the most prom
inent in these figures is that whereas
the city had $71o1,29 to begin on for
general expenses, Jan. !, 1901, it had
only S7oo.35 to begin Oh Jan. /, 1908.
But even these figures may be mis-
lending.

~They did not have to admitted to the
Union; they made the Union" This
assertion calls forth from correspon-
dent Of the Springfield, Mass, Republi-
can sarcastic reference, with the inn
plication that Senator Spooner did not
know what he was talking about when
he declared that Rhode Island and YER
mont made the Union. 1t may be
thought that the Senator allowed him
self rather wide latitude in his state.
ment as neither Vermont nor Rhode
Island was admitted to the Union until
after the first president was elected.
But the student of history would not
dare to deny for minute that the two
states in question did have part
in the forming Of the nation, in fact,
that they were potent agencies in smak-
ing the Union. Rhode Island did not
take her place in the sisterhood Of
states until after Washington had been
chosen to the position Of executive, but
nevertheless the little commonwealth
did WELD great influence in the early
councils Of the original thirteen states,
and it was only due to little olfishness
that she was not actually member
Of the Union when the first election was
held.
OF Vermonts part in the building up
Of the Union not so much can be said,
but the independent republic exerted
more than moral influence in the
struggle for the independence Of the
greater republic and then when the doors
Of statehood were finally opened to her
IN 1901 she stepped in and took the
place for which she had been asking
for some time, a place which not even
the great jealous state Of New York
could deny was her right. OF vermont's
part in making the Union," we quote
the admirable defence by the Spring
field Republican;
eAnd there's glorious Vermont Her
history is unique among the original
states. But shall we rule her out of
the circle Of the sister commonwealth
Of sacred memory that founded the ma
tion7 Vermont's claim to be regarded
as one Of the states that made the
Union to quote Senator Spooner's
phrase, IS nimpeachable. Vermont was
not only in existence as state when
George Washington was elected pres
ident, she had been separate
commonwealth from the day, in
1777, when she declared her in
dependence. AZ early as 1871 the
Congress Of the old confederation offered
to admit Vermont to the existing union
if she would surrender some Of her
territory, and that act was a recognition
Of Vermont's independent status. The
commonwealth was de facto an indie
pendent republic from 1777 down to
1901, when she was finally received into
the constitutional union of the states.
Her first governor, Thomas Chittenden,
was chosen in 177si her first constitution
was adopted in 1777. During the Revo-
lutionary war Vermont, under specially
trying circumstances, held fast to the
Revolutionary cause; and she contribute
ed Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain
boys to the shining American galaxy of
Revolutionary heroes. AS one Of the
nation makers, in her time and way,
Vermont aided in the foundation Of the
Union.

A great deal of misunderstanding
seems to exist in regard to the city
finances, and the impression has been
conveyed by some of the newspapers
that the city has run behind during
the past year, when the facts will not
