CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING APRIL 1st, 1922 11,746 UNDBRSTAND THE W CHARTER. The electars of the city of Norwich, regardless of party, cannot afford to dis- regard the importance of informing themselv upon the merits of the city charter upon which they will be expected vote at the June election. It is not a mattér to be passed by without action It should be read and understood by all the voters and when they go to the polls go with the idea of voting upon it and not leaving it for a few to decide. Don't neglect it because it is an effort to &°t up to date, It is a matter of great importanc the city and the conduct of its the instrument under which it business should be in keeping with pro: ent day conditions. Men who are tho oughly acquainted with the conditions that in Norwich have given consclentious atten- tion to the provision of a charter that will meet the needs of the communit today and overcome the handicaps that| prevail in the existing charter, covered with amendments, but not revised for a haif century. . Unfortunately there is a dis pay too little attention to such matters on election day. At the recent ectian in Hartford there were several ojects involving the expenditure of large sume of money which the voters| were called upon to decide. All but one )f them were defeated, but only about | n four expressed thelr attitude upon them, thas leaving it to about a quarter of those voting to say whether the city uid have the public improvements \at were sought or whether they should o delayed untll another and more proy ous time e very fact that there have been men of both parties who are thorough if toueh with the city government who have agreed upon a new charter to meet the situation here today and permit of a more efficient government should make | a strong appeal in favor of ratification. | Nevertheless It is well that the adv tages which are to be gained by it, the senefit that it will be to the communi 1 the aid to those upon whom the re- | sponsibilities of directing public afaj 1 fall should be understood.

Tariff experts have declared that|posed the general tariff bill which the com- mittee on finance expects to report to the Senate within the next few days will be generally acceptable to New England interests writes T. S. Joslin in the Boston Tganscript. They said that while the measure gives the agricultural West more protection than , < it ever has had before, it will make |inciuded in one for prosperity in that section the 3 country and will give New England a|fled wi better market for its products than jeffort was n can be expected of the whole of Eu-ton cotton rope under present conditions. Changes which the committe¢ has made in the bill in the last few days have materially benefited New Eng- land manufacturers. Since the first of the week several of the most im- portant schedules, from the,point of view of eastern manufacturers, have been: opened for reconsideration and duties have been increased in most instances. Numerbus xevisions have been made in the compensatory para- graphs. A question to which the committee is still giving consideration is whether the duties shall be based on Ameri- can or foreign valuation. The statément is made on the best of authority that a majority of thé committee favors American _valuation, that Senator Smoot of Utah is standing practical- ly alone against it. A report has been circulated that Mr. Smoot will oppose the bill in the Senate if the committee goes on record in favor of American valuation. To eliminate the possibili- ty of his opposing the bill it is sike- ly that the measure will be based on foreign valuation, in which event it is predicted the conference commit- tee appointed to reconcile the differ- ences between the House dnd Senate will write a modified form of Ameri- can valuation into the act. The House stands firm at present for American valuation. During the last few days the com- mittee has been trying to perfect the phraseology of the bill and to adjust the rates. Juformation recently ob- tained has ied the members to be- lieve that important details have be overtooked. The changés which parti- cularly affect New England are the duties placed upon raw materials and the necessary application of compen- satory duties to products made Of these materials. With regard, for ex- jample, to the duty on hides, which | has. been placed at fifteen per cent.| the committee agreed that additional duties should be placed on the manu- factures of leather. The committee fix- ed the duty on 'shoes at ten per cent. As man possesses an emotional nature it is subject to ecstacies. As these are organic they are natural and seek cut- ward expression in a great multitude of stasy under bad control leads to fanaticism as we so painfully see in the middle ages. ‘But one of its most beauti- ful forms of expressions is music.

United States tariff commission been called upon for assistance in fig- uring out the proper rates. It is said that on the whole, the cotton and wool schedules will be fairly satisfactory to the New England manufactutets. Some changes, however, may be re- quired when the bill comes before the Senate. New England has been deeply con- cerned with regard to the metal sched- ule as many lings of mmnufactured goods have beeh cpmiing into this country from Gérmany at extremely low prices. It becathe necessary fo- the committee to increase the duties on razors, cutlefy and such articles to a greater extent than In fhost ofiter schedyles, but manufacturers belleve that, even with the high rates writ- ten into the bill, they will experience difficulty in meeting German compéti- tion.

He seemed much refreshed by sleep, and he expressed a wish to go to the Thanksgiving service at his church. As he was expressing to Mrs. Silliman | the gratitude and affection he felt for her, he drew a long breath—and it {was his last. Without a struggle, in a moment, his noble, gentle spirit passed from its earthly tenement. Benjamin Silliman lived practically all of his life in New Haven. Early in life natural science attracted his at- tention, and when he was 23 years of age he was chosen professor of chemis- try and natural history at Yale. From this date, in 1802, until 1853, the long period of fifty-one year: Professos Silliman held the chair of chemistry, mineralogy and geology, at the Yale University, and in the latter year he was made professor emeritus, although he continued hig lectures for several years longer. Professor Silliman was chosen first president in 1840 when he was 61 years of age, of the Aimerican Association of Geologists and Naturalists, and he was one of the corporate members named by Congress in the formation of the National Academy of Sciences, in 1863, being then 84 years of age. The situation of Professor Silliman in the last years of his life was hap- pier than usually falls to the lot of men. Though never rich, he was free from want, and hig health, considering his advanced age, was remarkably sound. During his entire life, he was | seldom confined to the house by any body indisposition. Mr. Silliman was industrious té the end. He knew how to fill up the time. Many hours each day he would read aloud to Mrs. Silliman. Many more hours in his last years he devoted to the composition of the reminiscences of hig own life. In addition to these labors he wrote a copious account of the character and services of his fa- ther, which he regarded as a plous duty, and din to feel at rest until he had fulfilled it.
