Free Trade.

this! We publish some extracts from the speech
ofMr Davis dem from New York, in Congress,
which may found in another column showing the
ialslv of these wing charges, Furlher-how
much do YOU hear about the g free trade doctrines
of New lIumpshre"- "a the Iocoiocos in
N. Hampshire are in favor oflhe doctrines of free
trade and direct taxallon." See how false il, all
this too

Mr. EASTMAN, R.-As the Election for town
Representatives is near at hand, ! thought would
give you my views respecting who the irccmen OF
this County should support TO represent their i'll
lercst in the Legislature this fall. AS ] believe
the farmers To be the back bone Of the country,
would recommend them to select one Of their own
calling, or, at least, mechanic or merchant whose
interest is somewhat identified with theirs NOu
well know that The farmers, mechanics and mGr-
chants interests have not been fairly represented
in our Legislature for several years. For instance,
take the man that this town has sent for several
ycars; also, ifyou please the smooth slick black
eyed Lawyer from Woodstock-what have they
done! They passed law 10 relieve the poor man,
called the "Poor Mans Relief Law. further
recommend rrecmcn of Windsor County to sup
port men for the Legislature who, when elected
and call ed upon TO act, will have nerve enough so
to do. | feel deep interest in the election this
fall, as there is one great object wish 10 see ac-
compshed, and that soon, believe It Is
for the interest Of Windsor County TO be divided
1t is thought by many in tins vicinity that Wood
stock is hard place for lustlce--yery seldom you
&c, Justice done unless you are a resident of the
own--if you do you have 60, TO wait for j, sever
al years
This County is altogether TO large, therefore,
propose division and hope aud believe it will he
divided this fall, providing the Lawyers can be KEEP
at home and we can have the interest of the free
men represented by the farmer
If YOU please you may give This letter an inser.
ton in your paper as my views do not widely diff
fer from great majority in this vicinity.
A WINDSOR Co. FARMER.
Ludlow, Aug. Isl 1912
We give the foregoing communication ali ins or
ton, because we like il so Ear as its recommended
lion Of farmers is concerned. We have nothing IL

All that he'd give the people,
From Commerce and the Arts, he said,
He'd crushed the very breath, sir,
And all the laborers of the land,
lie meant 10 sturve TO death, sir,
lie told us how he dressed so fine
In mighty nice silk hats, sir,
How he eat with golden spoons and forks
And sat on labby cats, sir,
How all his ways were so polite
And how his smile was winnin',
lie wore white trowsers too, and had
Been known to change his linen.
lie said he kept IN English coach
And wore broadcoih cloak, sir,
And to the common people, that,
lie scarcely ever spoke, sir,
That he lived in splendor, like a prince,
From care or thought exempt, sir,
Ana Ana h.L c,r "a and all the world.
A mos, superb contempt, sir,
And then he said how all the world
Were going for "a change" sir,
And why we had been sunmed so long
lie thought was very strange, sir!
lie said, from Afric's burning sand,
Clear TO the Bay Of Fundy,
The people were going to knock
Mac Van into next Monday.
And then he sang song, that filed
Us all chuck full of wonder,
About one Mr. Harrison,
who fought like blood and thunder,
And killed more Indians in a day
Than you could pile or stack, sir,
Between the Archipelago
And bloody Saranac, sir.
lie told US how he fought one time,
Defending Western houses,
SO much engaged he could'n mt stop,
Just to put on his trowses.
That after he had fought one day,
Till be go, coniounded husky,
lie got a signal honor for
The battle Of Sandusky,
And then he said il I would vote
Against the Tyran, Martin,
That ! should get for all my wool,
Some sixty cents for sar,ain',
That everything had TO sell
Would bring double price, sir,
IT ! would go for scrip and Ty"
And get them in so nlce, sir.
Tie said there were great heaps Of cash
Tha, Van from day 10 day, sir,
Had piled up in the great White House,
All from the poor away, slri
That if he could be oustcd, all
That cash would be divided
And should get a-quite sum
The thing was all decided.
"Roast beef" besides, he said, we all
Should get in raining plenty,
And where we had dollar now,
We then should handle twenty;
And then he made me join and sing
A song, he had it,-"lherefore
Well 20 for Tip and Ty my boys
Without why or wherefore"
Well, so left my farm and work
And went TO 'lectioneering
A carrying flags and singing songs
Hurd-clder meetings steering,
1got a banner, caught coon,
And built fine log cabin,
And gave the locos right and left
A most terrific stabbin.
l could'nt stop to hoe my coin,
My cattle neglected. -,
'Twould all be right, they told me, IL

GAN OVER TRUE TALE"
Ye gentlemen and Ladies all
Who live about these diggins,
Come listen to the mouTniul tale
OF jeremiah Virgins,
Who brought upon himself, besides
Upon his family, sir,
Much sorrow and unhappiness
By trusting Whgse'y, sir.
In eighteen hundred thirty-nine,
was happy man, sir,
And logged along, quite soberly
Beneath the rule Of Van, sir.
| raised my sheep and sold my wool
For forty cents pound. sir,
And Id enough to eat and drink,
And cash the whole year round, sir.
My children all then went to school,
As bright as bran new dollars,
With spelling books, Biographies,
And neat sarched linen collars;
looked upon my graineIes
My meadows and my cattle,
And thought that was pretty well
With poverty to battle.
When Sunday came, my wife and /,
We started in the chaise, sir,
To meet the people in the house,
OF singing, PRAYER, and praise, sir,
The neighbors noddcd,a and my wife
Looked on me with a smile, sir,
For not farmer in the town
Rode out in better style, sir.
But, in eighteen hundred forty came
A great hard-cider preacher,
| found him taking tea with wife,
And trying for to teach her,
