The People Did Not Demand Free
 Trade.

Mr. Editor: I noticed in a southern paper the other day an article con- oemn1ng what was called "an attempt ot New England congressman to de- feat the peoples will.' The writer went on to say-as President Will son said in his meSSage-that the peO- Die had by an overwhelming majority voted for direct and downward re- YlsIon of the tariff or from a dem ocrattc standpoint, free trade. Now III spite of the often made assertion that the people want so and so the fact is that such is not the case members of congress, I believe, from the six New England states, and five of them are from Connecticut But Tn not single instance were these men men the cholce Of the people" They were each and every one elected bv pIuraht1es, and in 14 out of the 16 cases the majorities against them were enormous.
 These sixteen men are in congress today because the opponents of free trade were divided, and if those I6 men vote as we hope they will. and almost know our own congressman Will, for the interest of New England industries, they will not be opposing the majority of the deer pepul'' but will be doing just what a large ma Jorlty of the voters. both republican, progressive and democratic want them to do.
 I venture to say that not one-tenth or one per cent. of the voters who elected MT. Mahan are afraid to trust nm, and l know that those who voted Tor hIng or Davis are not afraid, and nor one-thousandth of one per cent will believe that MT. Mahan and the olher democrats of New England will De doing wrong if they oppose any radical tariff slashing that bodes evil for New England.
 MT. Wilson, while president by an overwhelming majority of electors, re- celVed smaller proportion of the popular vote outside of the old rebel 5 states than any man who ever was a candidate for president of one of the two leading parties.
 There was no uprising CD for free trade; call 1t by whatever name you will, there was no popular demand for, democratic president
 Woodrow Wilson carried five New England states. but did not get d ma Jority in one of them
 President Wilson never received a majority in a single state west of the Mississippi river except Texas and Oklahoma. He never received a ma Joflty Tn any state east of the same rIVer except the old rebel states, and even in Maryland, West Virginia and Missouri majority of the votes were asalnst him and his party. There is no demand shown by the people for democratic theoretical government ex- cept 1n eleven southern states There is no reason why New Eryland con gressmen cannot stand up like honest men and vote against those theories that have always been followed by desolation.
 New England people have the ut most confidence in their representa- tives in congress and will pay them in the future for what they do today, Old party lines are fast disappearing: it is strictly business with the voters today. Had it not been for this in dependent spirit last November does anyone believe there would have been any danger today to New England's son can be found among intelligent people.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
The Gas and Electric Commission.

MT. Editor: Taking up my paper i this morning I find in it's leading edi- l torial the following, under the above | heading:
 '1t Is an interesting situation which has developed into an appeal to the legislature for an increase of the mem bers of the Norwich Gas and Electric | commission from three to five. The reason assigned that additional mem | bers could give assistance in taking ! care of the increased business of the department, does not express apparent ! ly the full desire for the change. | Since the city has taken charge of the plant and placed it under a commits 1 sion there has been a demand for in formation concerning the operation of the department which it has been felt has not been satistied.''
 
 The article concludes:
 If it is within the power of the commission to clear the situation even though a report as detailed as that issued by the Selectmen is made, they should recognize the duty to the city,
 What does the mayor mean by pub I1cIy stating to a committee of the general assembly that he has no con fidence in the commission?
 If the mayors wish to increase the number of the commission at this particular time "does not express the full desire for the change what does express it
 Who have composed the commission since the city took over the plant? Justice John M. Thayer of the Su- preme Court of Connecticut, John Me Williams, partner in one of the best known and most respected business firms of this city; Edwin A. Tracy, former bank cashier, present manu- facturer, late president Norwich Board of Trade, chairman of executive committee of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Town of Norwich, and of it's notable industrial exhibit at the state armOry; Gilbert $. Raymond and Arthur E. Story, both young men in responsible positions and or the highest reputation for in tegrity, ability and honesty.
 Is anything the matter with such men as these? If so, what? In what respect should we have the accounts or the commission resemble those of the Selectmen? Please be a little more specific?
 Whatever may be the true inward ness Of this apparent concurrence of the editorial view and that of the mayor, I will venture this prediction; that the conversion of the Gas and Electric commission into political machine will be followed by it's early depreciation as a business enterprise and probably by it's ultimate transfer at a low price, to a private syndicate as in Philadelphia, years ago.
 some may desire this consumma- ton.
 The commission was created through the overwhelming vote of the electors of Norwich. If they desire to reverse that action, the way is clear

cent of s122 is 12 and 2-1o, which added to s1.22 makes s1-34 21o the selling price.
 To prove it apply the rule in the old arithmetic: "Oivide the gain or loss by the cost and the quotief1t ex- pressed in hundredths is the gain or loss per cent.' Discount $1.34 2-10 10 per cent. and the answer is $1.22, that is the proof. At this time I can not help referring to that 8 cent dollar again as it seems to me that the middle men must figure as some of your contributors do. when they manage to get 65 cents of the consum- CTS dollar.

BREED THEATRE.
Until We Three Meet Again, Lubin's
 Superb 2ooo Foot Drama.

All the readers of the late motion picture magazines will be pleased to know that the Breed is showing Until We Three Meet Again as it's feature today. It is 2.O00 feet long and tells of three college chums who upon part ing agree to meet again in ten years, Before that time is up all sorts of difficulties beset the trio and when they do meet circumstances are very different than expected, and this por- ton of the film is strenuous indeed.
 Greed for Gold is a very strong western story that is replete with numberless scenes of great beauty and telling of the partnership in a little mine that causes all the trouble. The Wonderful Statue. with John Bunny and Lillian Walker. is a comedy scream and When They Were Kids is a story of childhood related by an old couple. This latter picture Is one great beauty end Is one that makes a powerful inn pression.

The Problem.


 Mir. Editor: In solving that problem in percentage, I wish some of your contributors would tell US why they reckon the gain per cent. on the sell ing price. I have been looking over my old school books lately and some reference books, including Bryant and Strattons Bookkeeping and Critten- den's Business Manual and I can find no authority for reckoning the gain per cent. on the selling price.
 The solution of the problem as given in the Bulletin few days ago Is very interesting a mathematical prob lem, but the result Is misleading, If l buy goods for $1.00 and the ex- pense Is p per cent. the cost must be S1.22 as that $0.22 must be 22 per cent. of the cost price as we cannot establish a selling price until VIC knew how much the goods cost
 Now if the goods cost $1.23 and wish to make 10 per cent. 1 must add 10 per cent to sI.22. Ten per
