pared a reception in their honor The
Kyry Village Improvement and Gem

THE DUTY ON ART.
How 1t Came to Be Imposed and When

How 1t Came to Be Imposed and When
1t VIII Be Removed.
Here is a bill ito reduce the duties
on works of art imported into the
United States from the present duty
of 20 per cent to per cent ad valo-
rem Some peop.e in the United
States thought that the duty on art
was put there for protection to Ameri-
can artists. Nobody ever had that idea
that knew anything about the tariff.
They were simply looking around for
revenue.
Why, in the preparation of the Nc
Kinley bill | had the honor to make
a motion in committee to put art on
the free list, the same things that gen
tlemen now propose to put in at 3 per
cent and that carried through the COM
mittee and through the house and went
over to the senate. but that body
thought we needed the revenue. and
they put a duty of 20 per cent on art.
and when the bill came down here the
conferees, of whom | was not one
yielded to 1t. and the duty went back
again at 20 per cent. Coming down to
the Wilson bill, my friend from West
Virginia (Ir. Wilson, came to me and
said he understood l had studied up
the subject of free art when we were
making up the Mckinley bill and had
reported it from the committee or had
moved it in the committee. | told him
yes" Well he wanted to know what
| would do if they put it on the free
list l said: Il will sustain 1t. was for
it in the committee and will be for it
now"
Well, he did put it on, and, If my rec
objection is correct, that is one of the
things that survived out of that bill
of 'perfidy and dishonor'' enacted by
the Democratic party, and there it re-
manned until we framed the Dlngley
bill. We were looking around for rev.
enue, and we thought this would be Il
good place to get it. We put 20 per
cent on, with q clause that by CONNER
cial arrangement it could be reduced
to Is per cent. 1t has been reduced to
10 per cent with most countries, in
,luding France, Italy, Germany and
Switzerland. Last year we collected
sI74,O00 by this duty on art simply as
1 revenue duty. Now, If l have any

in a measure due to the fact that
many of the best educators in the

That the people of Montpelier are
deeply interested in the education of
their youth, is evidenced by the fac;
that from year to year. they cheer
fully pay large special school tax
last year the special levy for school
purposes being 20 mills.
Good schools always attract to the
town in which they are located the
best class Of citizens, and Montpelier
is beginning to reap benefits from its
excellent school system by drawing to
it people from the surrounding see
tons who are DESTROYS of giving their
children thorough common school
education.

That the United States stands TO-

to the public school system, which
