THE VERMONT ELECTION.
There Is a significance In the unpre
cedented majority given the Republi
can candidate for governor in Vermont
whl?h will not be lost on the practical
politicians of the country. Although a
safe Republican state always, Vermont
is yet regarded as one of the Import
ant states In every presidential contest.
because Its vote In September has al
ways been received as an Infallible In
diration of the drift of political senti
ment in states supposed to be doubtful
In November. An unusually large Re
publican majority there is evidence of a
healthy and vigorous Republican condl
tton throughout the country, and a re
duced majority has never failed to be
the forerunner of a largely increased
opposition vote in every other section
of the country. In Illustration of this
we refer to the fact that In 1SS4, when
Cleveland was elected president the
Republican majority in Vermont was
22.000; in 1SSS, when Cleveland waa de
feated, the Republican majority waa
29.000, while In 1S92, when Cleveland
waa elected a second time, the Republi
can majority was but 21,600. The fol'
lowing la the vote of the state at Im
portant elections since 1SS0:
Rep. Dem. Maj.
18S0 45.567 1S.31 27,251
1554 39,514 17,331 22.1S3
1555 43.192 1S.7S8 28,404
1S90 33.4S2 19.290 14.162
1S92 37.992 16.325 21,667
1S94 42,633 14.142 2S.521
It will be seen that In ISM and again
in 1S92, when President Cleveland was
elected both times, and also in 1S90.
when the Democrats carried congress
and the country by an overwhelming
majority, the majority in Vermont for
governor waa much below the average,
falling as low as 14.162. In 1S94. when
the Republicans swept the country by
more than a million majority, Vermont
Indicated a Republican tidal wave by a
majority of 2S.521 for governor in the
preceding September. The normal Re
publican majority in Vermont is usual
ly from 20.000 to about 25,000, and the
really enormous majority given for Jo
Blah Grout day before yesterday esti
mated at from 30,000 to 37.000 shows
that the political tide of the country is
setting strongly towards McKInley.
Vermont is almost entirely an agri
cultural state, and if the free sliver
heresy had taken root amonest the far
mers of the country, It would most cer
tainly have exhibited itself In the vote
cast in this state on Tuesday. The elec
tion In Vermont, therefore, must be
taken as an important index to what
may be expected in November, and it
will be a source of much relief and
satisfaction to patriotic people that this
test of Brjan's strength shows that
the size of the procession he thinks he
Is leading is out of all proportion to the
noise made by his shouters on the band
wagon.
A BIT OF HISTORY.
We wonder how many of Bryan's de
luded followers realize that all the
sophistical arguments he Is now usini;
to bolster up the cheap currency
' scheme of free Kllv.fr are second-hand.
They were used 200 years ago In Eng
land to prevent the restoration of the
silver coins of that country to full
weight, and consequently full value.
The siler coin had, up to that time,
been made with smwth edges. This
gave an opportunity for scoundrels to
shave oft the edges, removing a consid
erable abount of silver, which theft
could only be detected by weighing the
coins. Th.s was called "Clipping" the
coins. It was proposed to call In all
the old silver currency, have It neoin
ed, and mill the edges, go that clipping
could at once be detected.
Of course, to take these light weight
coins and recoln them full weight,
would entail a loss. The game number
of shillings could not be made of it.
So the Bryans and PelTers of that day
proposed that the new coins should be
made - lighter than the clipped coins
were originally, but should still pass
for the full value of a shilling. The
proposition was that the weight of a
pound Troy of silver should be coined
into 77 shillings 6 pence, thus reducing
the weight of the shilling 25 per cent.
Speaking of William Lowndes, the lead
er playing the part of our Bryan to this
proposition, the historian, Macaulay,
says:
"He waa not In the least aware that
"a piece of metal with the King's head
"on It was a commodity of which the
"price was governed by the same laws
"which govern the price of metal fash

"that It was no more In the power of

"to make the kingdom larger by call

rescued from the hand of those who
have shown themselves Incapable of
conducting It without disaster at home
and dishonor abroad, and shall h re

years administered It with uneqiialed
succe and prosperity.
A I'loii'divr Tarlil.
W e renew and emphasll our lleql-
ance to the policy of protection as th.
bulwark of American Industrial lr.d
pendence and th" foundation of Amer
ican development and prosperity. This
true American policy taxes foreign pro
ducts and encourage home Induatry;
it put the burden of revenue on for
eign goods, It secures tha American
market for the American producer; It
uphold the American standard of
wage for the American worklngman;
It puts th. factory by th side of the
farm, and makes the American farmer
less dependent on foreign demand and
price; It diffuses general thrift and
founds the strength of all on th.
strength of each. In Its reasonable ap
plication It Is Just, fair, and Impartial,
equally opposed to foreign control and
domestic monopoly, to sectional dis
crimination and Individual favoritism.
We denounce the present Democratic
tariff as sectional. Injurious to the pub
lic credit and destructive to business
enterprise. We demand such equitable
tariff on foreign Import which com.
Into competition with American pro
ducts as will not only furnish adequate
revenue for the necessary expenses of
the government, but will protect Amer
ican labor from degredatlon to the
wage level of other lands. We are not
pledged to any particular schedules.
The question of rates I a practical
question, to be governed by the condi
tions of the time and production; the
ruling and uncompromising principle
Is the protection and development of
American labor and Industry. Th.
country demands a right settlement
and then It wants rest.
KiTipniciiy With Oilier Nations.
We believe the repeal i,f the reci
procity arrangements negotiated by the
lal Kcpuhllcari administration wan a
national calamity, and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms ns will equalize our trade with
otlnr nations, remove the restrictions
which now obstruct the sale of Amer-
lean products In the ports of other
'
countries and secure the enlarged mar
kets of our farms, forests and factories.
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures of Republican policy, and go
hand In hand. Pcmocratlc rule has
recklessly struck down both, and both
must be re-established, protection for
what vc produce, free admission for
the necessaries of life which we don't
produce, reciprocal agreements of mu
tu:il Interest which gnln ripen markets
for uh In return for our open market to
others. Protection builds up domestic
ministry and trade and secures our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.
Protection to Sugar Producers.
We condemn thn present administra
tion for not keeping faith with the
sugar producers of this country. The
Hepubllcan party favors such protec
tion as will lead to the production on
American soli of nil the sugar the
American people use, and for which
they pay other countries more than
1100,000,000 annually.
Wool and Woolens.
To all our products to those of the
mine and the field, as well as to those
of the shop and the factory to hemp
to wool, the product of the great Indus
try of sheep husbandry, as well as to
the finished woolens of the mill we
promise ths most ample protection.
Merchant Marine.
We favor restoring the early Amerl-

can policy of dl-cilmlimtlng duties for

and the protection of our shipping In

American ship -the product of Amer
ican labor, employed In American ship
yard, sailing under th Hlura and
Slilpe. and iimuned. oftlcervd and
owned by Americana -may regain th.
carrying of our foreign commerce.
The Financial Issue.
"Th. Hepubllcan party I unreserv
edly for oiind money. It caused th.
enactment of the law providing (or the
reaumptlon of specie, payments In 1H7;
luce then every dollar has been a

States, and all our money, whether coin
or paper, at the present atanduid. the

Pensions fur Veterans.
Th. veterans of the I'nlon armies de
serve and should receive fair treatment
and generous recognition. Whenever
practlcabl. they should b. given th.
preference In the matter of employ
ment, and they are entitled to the en
actment of such laws sa best calculat
ed to secure th. fulfillment of th.
podges mad. to them In th. dark days
of the country's peril. W. denounce
th. practlc. of th. pension bureau so
recklessly and unjustly carried on by
th. present administration, of reducing
pensions and arbitrarily dropping
names from th. rolls, as deserving th.
severest condemnation of th. American
people.
Foreign Relations.
Our foreign policy should b. at all
times firm, vigorous and dignified, and
all our interests In th. western hemis
phere carefully watched and guarded.
Th. Hawaiian Island, should be con
trol. ed by the I'nlted State and no for
eign power should b. permltetd to In
terfere with them. The Nicaragua
Canal should be built, owned and op
erate,! by the I'nlted Slates, and by
the purchase of th. Danish Islands w.
should secure a proper ond much-needed
naval station In the West Indies.
Armenian Massacres.
The massacre In Armenia have
aroused the deep sympathy and Jut
Indignation of the American people,
and we believe that the United States
should exercise atl the Influence It can
properly exert to bring these atrocities
to an end. In Turkey, American resi
dents have been exposed to the gravest
dangers and American properly de
stroyed. There and everywhere Amrr

powers from this hemisphere, and the
ultimate union of nil the Kngllah

free consent of Its Inhabitants.
Independence of I'ulia.
From tho hour of achieving tholr own
Independence tho people of tho United
States have regarded with sympathy
the struggles of other American peoples
to free themselves from ICuropean dom
ination. We watch with deep and abld
I rig Interest the herola battle of the Cu
ban patriots against cruelty and op
pression, and our best hopes go out for
the full success of their determined con
test for liberty.
The government of Hpaln, having lost
control of Cuba and being unable to
protect the property or lives of resi
dent American citizens or to comply
with Its treaty obllgatlones, we believe
that the government of the United
fitates should actively use Its Influence
and good ofllces to restore peace and
give Independence to the Island.
Enlargement of the Navy.
The peace and security of the repub
lic and the maintenance of Its rightful
Influence among the nations of the
earth demand a naval power commen
surate with Its position and responsi
bility. We therefore favor the contin
ued enlargement of the navy and a
compleln system of harbor and e
coast defense.
Immigration Laws.
