WAGES INCREASED in VERMONT.

The preliminary summary of statis-
tics concerning the manufacturing in
dustries of Vermont based on the
census of manufactures of 1905 has
been oe1pleted by the Bureau of the
Census and the result is highly cred
liable to the Green Mountain state,
The census of manufactures was au-
thorized by an act of Congress ap-
proved March Z, 1902, aud is taken
every FIVE years. This special census
differs from a general census in that
only manufacturing establishments
having products valued at $500 or
more are included in the former, while
in a general census all neighborhocd
industries such as dressmaking, Gus
tom milliners, cobbling, blacksmith
ing, custom saving and and grind
ing, ETC., are included in the total
summary. For this reason 1t is i'm
possible to make a comparison be-
tween the ems of 1900 and that of
1905 and include every manufacturing
establishment in the state, but coma
parison between the two on the basis
of establishments having IN output of
$500 or. more shows that during the
past fire years the percentage of in
crease in Vermont is great:r than in
| any other New England state with tn
possible exception of Maine, the sum-
mary for that state being incomplete
at this time.
The following compilation compar-
ing various features of all the manu-
featuring establishments having an
output of $500 or more annually as
shown by the general census of 1906
and the manufacturing census of 1905
will indicate the general trend of in
dustries in Vermont.
Number of establishments: 1900,
1888; 1895, 1889; per cent of decrease,
1913.
Ca ital invested, 1900, $40 ,499, $40;
1905, S62 $685. 41; per cent of increase,
47.4.
Salsried officials, clerks, etc; num-
Der employed, 1900, 1885; 1905, 2,O53;
per cent of increase, 21.1; salaries
paid, 1900, s1,61o, 514; 1905, s2,102, 7O3;
per cent of increase, 500.

The Rutland Herald has the follow
ing to say about the West Burke
church affair:
"The members of the Universalist
church who met the other evening
in the schoolhouse at West Burke,
Caledonia county, had a difficult
problem to solve. The church edi-
fee had been burned and the insur'
ance had been paid. One faction was
anxious to rebuild, Will another
faction favored d sale Of the real
estate and q division of the money
among the pewholders. The dividend
party, having the authority, called
the meeting at the s~choolhouse.
They we're apparently in the majority,
but they did not arrive on time. This
was the opportunity of the rebuilders
who were present on the dot at seven
O'Clock, elected officers, voted to
rebuild and adjourned. The dividend
party filed in Liter, elected officers
and voted to sell the real estate and
authorize a dividend. The spirit of
good will and peace on earth must be
pretty strong in West Burke, but the
desire for ready cash and an all round
divvy is still stronger. If the divi-
dend is finally declared and the
money paid, there is no reason why
each holder should not set his money
aside for charitable purposes. No
reflections can be properly cast upon
the benevolent disposition of the peo-
pie of West Burke, and it is possible
that with ready money in hand the
members of the Universalist church
could do no more good individually
than they would attending Sunday
services after going to the trouble
and expense of rebuilding. 1t would
not surprise US if the dividend party
eventually won the day in West Burke.
1t stands to reason that a quick div
idend has an advantage over an as
sessment."

A fair comparison between the
a7ov5 showing and that for other
years cannot be made, for the reason
that all statistics heretofore complied
are taken from the general census re-
ports made but once in ten years,
while the summary now at hand is tie
only n ever made between regular
census periods. For this reason pre-
vious records are of little value in
making com parsons because Stats
tics covering any previous five year
periods are not available. The rec
ord is interesting, however, and the
per cent of increase or decrease in
the value of manufactured goods for
ten year periods from 1850 TO 1900 is
given herewith: 1850 to 1850, 70.8;
1860 to 1870, 1893; 1870 to 1880, de-
crease, 20: 1880 TO 1890, % 8; 1890 to
1900, 5O.4.
The record for the decade from 1850
to 1880 is not a pleasing one but it
must be remembered that in 1870
values were expressed in a currency
which was at a discount in gold and
should be reduced about one-fifth for
purposes of comparison with other
census years.
AS compared with various western
and southern states where manufac-
turing is in its infancy, Vermont
would appear to be progressing
slowly indeed. but a comparison with
states where like conditions exist is
decidedly to the advantage of the
Green Mountain state. As indicated
above the value of Vermont manufac-
tured products increased % 5 during
the five years ending in 1905, while in
Rhode Island, purely a manufacturing
state, the per cent of increase was
% 1, in New Hampshire Is 5, in Con-
necticut, III and in the city of Bos-
ton, Is 3.

1t is with pleasure we read there
ports sen out from Washington by
the statistical bureau stating that
Vermont has had the largest increase
in percentage of industrial produc 8
of. any New England state in the past
year. We publish The particulars re-
Barding this report IN another column.
This healthy increase goes to show
that Vermont is waking mp to the fact
that she is somebody after all and is
looking after business. These boards
OF trade throughout Vermont towns
are largely to'be credited for this in
crease we believe, and the town OF
any size without this organized effort
to attract new businesses stands no
show for growth when compared
withthose towns fighting every inch
of ground for new industries. Some
towns have gone SO far as to pay u
man a salary to attend to this work
and 90 out after business, setting
forth the advantages of his town over
others for new Industries. We will
again repeat what we have said many
times before, that Barton has great
possibilities and needs a united effort
TO set them before the outside people,
a board OF trade or something of the
kind is what we need and must have.
we have advocated it before and still
advocate it and believe the time has
come when such an organization is
essential. Let's have it.

LETTER TO
A. CLARK,
BARTON. VT,

Dear Sir: Currie Hardware Co., Atlantic
City. N. j., had been dealing in paint for
more than twenty years; and last year found
out Devoe. This is how they did it.
Bought two CANS, took-off the labels, sent
to a chemist for analysis.
The chemist found it pure; and they took
our agency.
That is the way to find out a paint; but not
every dealer can do it. There ought to be
public provision for making good things
known without cost. It's a pity American
citizens haven't got it. The people want it
even more thar the trade.
Yours truly,
