LETTERS ToTHE EDITOR
Candidate Wilson on the Phosphate
Duty.


Editor of Times. | hate to trespass
on your good nature, yet some things
ought To be stated. One OF leading
newspapers supposed to support Yer
mont interests, but feeling compelled
instead to support its party candidate
like so many voters feel stated that
the farmers who had to buy phosphate
and did not raise their own fertilizer
ought to be Democrats. They talk
about rise of only cent and half
a pound, suppressing news of rise OF
$50 per ton.
Now this is only sample. They
might as well originate rise Of only
a cent pound ON coal which would
make a rise Of only $40 ton. That
might have helped the Vermont farm
ers as much AS the potash tax would
hurt them, by doubling price OF fire
wood at the expense of us poor fuel
buyers in the villages. That is the
trouble with the idea of protective tar
if run wild, helping certain classes at
expense of great majority. They are
Just as ridiculous as harmful and hate
full when fairly considered. Any intelli-
gent farmer knows that wise use Of
silos and Of phosphate doubles the pro-
ducing capacity of an average farm in
very few years, at same time doubling
the amount of homemade fertilizer.
The Republican candidate for y. ;.
senator admits that the only thing that
saved the Vermont farmer from this
heavy phosphate increase was what he
calls a ~Democrntic trick and he adj
mits that Il was the Republican plan
to add this burden on the farmers
shoulders. They insist that concerning
the many necessities the tariff only
adds a cent or a few cents per pound,
and try to blind the people to what the
