the prospect of new national ex-

business of trade and cut off his

sthe employer thinks, tn eobligation

Tariff Bill As Expected

Fibre and Fabric has taken the
position along that there would not
be any radical changes in the taIiiI
as far as it pertains to wool, cotton
and textiles, as the result of being in
touch with authoritative and reliable
sources of information. This paper
has been in position to feel the
pulse of political and commercial
sentiment. which would enable IL to
correctly dianose the outlook, and the
report of the Senate finance commit
tee.
The bill reported by that committee
which. il is generally believed. will be
substantially enacted into law, prac-
tically restores the Dingley rates on
textiles and corrects certain sche-
dulles which were inconsistent or alb
surd 1t has gone too far in restoring
the old rate on tops, which may be
changed before the bill reaches the
President, but otherwise we do not
Anticipate any radical departure from
the rates as fixed by Senator Aid
rich's committee.
We doubted that the Senate would
stand for the very slight reduction
even on third class or carpet woods
contained in the House bill They
did not stand for it an instant
Nor did they change any of the
wool duties from a specific to an adj
valorem basis. We have all along
contended that they would not be
changed; and furthermore that worst
eds and woolens would not be essenti-
ally altered and they have not been.
The intent of the Dingley law re-
lating to manufactures of cotton has
been maintained, there being an ex-
tension of the specific rates to cover
class of fancy goods and novelties
which are covered in the existing law
| by ad valorem rates have not been
increased.
What those interested in textiles
like to know is, what they are to ex-
pect. That Fibre and Fabric has
pretty clearly indicated what they
might expect must be demonstrated
to the satisfaction of those who have
followed its course in this matter OF
tariff egislation.-Fibre and Fabric

Pownal, where there is a death
mystery, is just enough in Vermont
for the state to get the discredit of
the disreputable affair.-Barre Times.
AS the Banner has before stated,
it is not. Powhars fault, but it's loca-
ton that occasionally brings it into
disagreeable prominence. Being
situated in a corner of the state be-
tween New York and Massachusetts
and on the main line of travel be-
tween New England and the west it
is particularly exposed to crimes by a
floating and transitory class. Pownal
is just as good a town and its home
people are just as good citizens as
though it were located next door to
the Vermont statehouse and thus a
two days journey from anywhere else
