Alexander Dunnett of St. Johns-
bury announces his candidacy for Con-1
gress in the following letter:
To the voters of the Second Congres-j
sional district of Vermont: j
I have resigned my position as
United States attorney for the dis-
trict ot Vermont to Heroine a iaa-
didate tor Congress on tlie Kepuoiican
ticket in this district. Having been
out of politics for about eight years
I think I should sav that 1 believe trie
great question properly dividing po-1
litical parties in the Unitea otates is
the tariff. 1 am not a staua-pai-

it costs to produce them iu our own
country, and the onlv Kroner occasion
for a general lowering of the tariff
is to provide greater revenue for the
government. j
As a practical proposition this gov-

from this country to pay for the
pay
the products of labor. Such a system
always involves the sending of money
out of this country and throwing our
own laborers out of employment. In
the opinion of experts this county is
capable of producing foodstuffs suf
licient for live hundred millions of
people; and while foodstuffs sufficient
for our own people can be produced
at home our agricultural interests
should have the benefit of the market.
In its last successful national cam
paign the Republican party stood upon
the strongest protective plank that
was ever written into its platform, but
by the vacillating attitude of our lead
er upon tbo tariff " question, his at
tempted reciprocity with Canada and
his advocacy of a general cutting
down of the tariff, the temporary
downfall of our party resulted.
This country in 1011 is in the humili
ating position of living under a tariff!
trained by the people who declared in
their platform that protection was un-
constitutional. They have directly
adopted the principles oroginated and

that Andrew Jackson threatened to
hang the author, and they have been
repudiated by the people of this gov-
eminent for more than half a century,

and the Roosevelt votes combined. All ;."'"' . , ,
believers in this doctrine should stand
together, and no community is more
vitally interested in it than the people
of Vermont. I believe not only that
this country has the right to protect
but that its duty and interest are to
protect its labor and its industries as
much ar, :t is its duty to protect its
shores from foreign invasions
- i
While I am not without views on
pending and prospective measures in
Congess, I prefer in this limited space
to speak of a measure not pending, to
my knowledge, in relation to our ar
my. 1 believe that militay schools
should be ' established for bovs who
school
have completed the 'common
studies in which agricultural and other
useful learning should be imparted.
These schools should be entirely fee,
but attendance should be upon condi
tion that the student should for a cer
tain number of years after graduation
serve in the army when called upon.
I believe such schools will accomplish
Ihrpo tmriiri'.'.-ia
First. Tliev 'will do awav with the
necessity for a lartri. stnndim arm v.
Second. Ihey will provide a very
large and -efiieient army in time of
need.
Thini, Fvery part of the, body poli -
tic will be strentrthened bv the con-
stiint .addition of this body of well
trained and well-educated young men.
And finally, I think this can p 11
accomplished hs cheaply as support
our present standing army and the mil-
ltia of the several states. -
1 do not "syrthnt this general propo-
sition can be formulated and written
into law at once, but I feel that there
is an opportunity for an endeavor
toward progress along these lines.
This district is rather off on the
side respecting the great comme:cial
and industrial interests oi the country,
but it has interests as dear and im
portant to its people as any, and ifl
nominated and elected to this high
but it has interests as dear and iui-
my pleasure to do what I can for you
and my state and mv country.

Two friends boarded a great trans

s "Say, Bob." said the niggardly man;
"I -wish you'd step out on deck white
I undress."
"That's a remarkable request," ob
jected the good fellow. "Why have
you developed this streak of bashful
ness at this late day? I never saw any
signs of it before."
"Never mind about that," said the
niggardly man. "You get out!"
After a long and acrimonious argu
ment the good fellow went out on deck
and stayed half an hour. When he
returned to the stateroom the niggard
ly man was stretched out in the up
per berth. Moreover, be was dressed
up like a Christmas tree in a be rib
boned nightgown and a woman's bou
doir cap.
"Say," exclaimed the good fellow,
what in thunder is the matter? Why
have yqu got that makeup on?" ,
"Look at me and lie wise." said the
niggardly man. "Remember the rule
