THE MAPLE SUGAR CROP.


Reports to Bradstreet's for the week
show business in larger cities to be
good. particularly III clothing lines,
the receipts to date showing an in
crease over tho corresponding period
are heard. poor roads have intori-rod
with much trading. Manufacturers
are generally well employed and re-
port orders coming in we'll Much in
terest is conferred in the probable out
come OF the maple sugar crop aud spe-
cial pains have been taken to gain an
opinion Of what the run will he. At
this time it is difficult to give Il fair
stimatc Of the total amount that will
be made The general opinion is that
tlcie will not be much this year but
what has been made is of good quality
and commands lair prices. Estimates
have been made that from one-third II
ono-half ui the usuar crop will he mad
this year, but with suitable weather
this can be increased. Farmers are
now making about threa-fourths of IA
pound TO Il tree, which is an increase
over the amount made the correspond
ing period last year of o~ne-fourth OF
Il pound. The southern part of the
state reports ii small run, while in The
northern part, where The weather has
been more propitious, a large amount
has been made and farmers speak
hopefully of a still larger amount.
Weather conditions, however. must be
considered.
Burlington reports a little heavier
buying this week than last. but collec-
ton conditions improve but slowly. At
Rutland retail trade Is improving and
manufacturers generally speak favor
ably OF the mannc in which orders
are coming in. 81. Adams manufac-
turing industries are running fun time
and business with retail merchants is
IA little better. although collections are
quiet. AT Montpelier II general i'm
provcmcnt is reported in all lines OF
business. The Barre granite manufac-
turcrs also speak favorably of the
BUSINESS received. as we'll as prices Sc

have been handicapped on account OF
a shortage of water for motive power
are now running fun time. At Ben
nington the manufacturers are well
employed and reports from farming
districts show that some blowing has
been done, but the frost is not wholly
out Of the ground and but little plant
ing will be done until later. Brattle-
boro business men report a good trade
and with the wholesalers an improve
ment in collections Is reported. More

TIE GROWTH or FEDERALISM.

Ono naturally wonders where the line
is to be drawn in the matter of federal
control. AS it is now, we have govern
mental supervision of everything, from
butter TO railroads. The federal authority
is everywhere paramount: and federalism.
against which our forefathers fought most
strcnuotsly, is now almost II national
hobby. writes Henry Litchfold West in
the April-Junc Forum. Suggestions of
government control which a few years
ago would have been received with undis-
guisod astonishment are not only accepts
ed, but are invited under the plea that
the individual citizen needs national pro-
lection.
The tremendous stride toward complete
federalism and tho almost total ohlitcra-
ton of the old States rights doctrine is.
In fact. tho most significant feature Of
American politics to-day. The supreme
court. over since the time of chief Jus
tice Marshall, has been an exponent OF
federal doctrines: but this court is to-day
almost conservative beside legislation
which is enacted by, or seriously proposed
in, Congress-. 1t is not difficult, Of course.
to analyze the reasons for this
decided trend Of modern political thought
In the early days of our history interstate
commerce was IA thing unknown. and the
founders of the Republic. oven in their
widest dreams. could hardly have fore
seen Il condition of railroad development
which practically disregards the existence
of Star lines. They certainly did not an
ticipatc the existence of great and power
ful corporations which would control the
production and manufacture of the neces-
sarics of life, such as beef. oil. and sugar
corporations with which Stars are power
less to cope, as has been demonstrated
in the recent contest of the Kansas Legis-
laturc with the Standard Oil company.
Federal authority is alone competent to
control these corporations doing an inter-
state commerce business, and every appeal
to this authority Widons the sphere of
federal domination. 1t is difficult to SEQ
how. under present conditions, federalism
is TO be checked. and yet it's growth is
producing radical changes in our system,
government. Where will it end? 1t Will
not he long before federal laws will m
brace every factor which enters into our
commercial fabric. Even social questions
are likely to he subject to federal con-
troi: for marriage and divorce laws. de-
signed to supcrsedc State legislation. are
demanded of every Congress.
Tho problems which confront the Ameri-
can people to-day arc most complex. Per-
hans federalism, in its most extreme ap-
plication. is to he the solution Of these
problems. This is apparently tho mean
ing Of tho present trend of public thought.
From federalism. which means govern
mental rather than State control. it would
sooln but u short step to absolute patNr-
nalism and socialism. Certainly tho do

orators bring suit on the ground that
this land signed for eminent domain is
being used for an unlawful purpose and
consequently reverts to them, the orig
