Now that the free hides victory seems ss good as won, barring only some un- expected obstacle in passing the confer ence report or otherwise. there is sat isfaction on the part of the New Eng land people in town.

CONSUMERS HAVE RIGHTS

1t is beginning to percolate through
the minds of thinking people that the
United States has done its full share
in building up great business enter
prises and that it is time that the ra-
pacity of wealth should be curbed and
fair share of the profits turned into
the pockets of the rank and file
through higher wages and through
making great wealth pay its fair
share of taxes. Wealth and business
have been taken care of until they
have become strong and lusty and
can afford to yield something to the
rank and file. President Harry A.
Garfield of Williams College at a re.
cent New York dinner spoke as fol-
lows:
Il am told by our friends, the econ
omists," he said, who know a tariff
bill when they see one, that it is
probably true that the present tariff
bill is an evidence that the common
good is somewhat exclusively treat
ed. And that the agents and repres-
entatives who swarmed about Wash
ington had not so much the common
good in mind as they had the special
interests.
Gentlemen, as one who has called
himself a republican and who is the
son of a republican, desire to say
that if 1.-THE of the thing stated be
true and it is a fact that we are con
sidering too exclusively special in
terests and too little the common
good in this matter of tariff reform.
l believe it will be necessary for the
party that has committed itself to
this kind of special pleading to offer
hasty and satisfactory explanation
of its conduct if it does not wish in
the near future to receive utter con
demnation from a people not given
to over fneness in their analysis of
the situation.
They are likely to rise up in their
might, the might that characterizes
public opinion when aroused. and put
the seal Of disapproyal upon the acts
of party that they shall hold guilty
of that sort Of attention to special
interests

The prospects now are that the
Vermont House and Senate Journals
for the session of 1908 will be out
during the first month of 1910. The
last copy of these records went to
the printer Tuesday.-Barre Times.
1t was the last of the index copy
which went to the printers Tuesday.
The copy for the publication was in
the hands of the printers many
months ago but the index could not
be made until the body of the book
was printed and copies furnished the
clerk, who Immediately upon receiy-
ing the same put force of three
people to work in order to return the
index copy at the earliest possible
moment. These publications will be
in good season for the next legsla-
ture.-Northfield News.

It is reported from up the state,
where all the members of the Yer
mont delegation live and where they
are now at home for the holidays,
that there is a well defined feeling
that Hon Charles H. Darling Is likely
to lose his place as collector of Gus
toms at Burlington. If this report is
true it viii be a great surprise to his
Bennington friends who have unani-
mously written letters TO the delega-
ton asking for Judge Darlings reap
pointment. 1t is also said by those
who ought to know that Editor John
l.. Southwick of the Burlington Free
Press has by far the heavies en-
dorsement for the position in case
there is to be change This is
hardly to be wondered at for Mr.
Southwick has for years edited the
leading morning newspaper in the
state and a paper that has always
stood sturdily by the Republican par
ty through thick and thin. He has
never before been a candidate for Of
flee. Bennington people hope and ex-
pect the delegation will re-appoint
Judge Darling, but if it is decided to
make the Office a one term affair it
will not be surprising to see Mr.
Southwick named as he is said to
have secured much stronger back
ing than Mr.. Joseph Aud, his neigh
Dor. Mr. Southwick announces that
if appointed he will not be a candid
ate for re-appointment at the end of
four years.

The Clement National bank of Rut-
land, owned by P. w. Clement and
his family and friends is sued by the
state for taxes, assessed on savings
deposits on which the bank pays in
terest to depositors. We know moth
ing about the legal point at issue but
looking at it solely from an ethical
standpoint, what excuse can be given
for trying to evade very small and
APPARENTLY absolutely just tax on a
mere technicality?

Germ is at home. Records show that
Senators Dillingham; and Page and
Representatives Foster and Plumley
helped force through a wool tariff
schedule that will cost Vermont at
least $25O,OOO a year; they helped the
sugar trust secure a schedule which
annually; Senators Dillingham; and
Page stood by the iniquitous lumber
and wood pulp schedules in favor of
the big protected interests. With
out question there is in Vermont a
strong and growing resentment
against that political attitude known
as Cannonism; in fact, if Cannon
himself were to come before the
people of this state with a request
for support there is little doubt that
he would be repudiated. This speaks
well for the intelligence and integri
ty of Vermonters, and yet will they
be as willing to call to sharp account
the men who misrepresent them by
standing for the very principles
which have brought Aldrich and Can.

The ReaI PhIIanthropIsts

Here is the Barton Monitor and
Vergennes Enterprise making the
absurd suggestion that the Vermont
newspaper or publishers do some
thing to advance their own business
interests. The state press fights the
battles for about every other good
cause but when it comes to their
own business they are too busy or
too Indifferent to give it deserved
tention.-Northfield News.
