A "Farmcr," writing in the Vermont
Gazette, thus exhibits 10 his brother wool
growers the effect Oft The present tariff Of
1912 on the price oftheir great product
What more Gear evidence could be des red,
of the sacrifice Of the agricultural 20 the
manufacturing interest by the Trainers Of
that tariff, than is exhibited in theiI refusal

trial and the manufactured article, accor-
ding to the proposition Of Mr.. Wright ?
Butter, in 1914, sold for 7 cents ;

In 1915, butter from 10 to Is Gems; cheese
8 cents; pork, 50; oats, 371 cents; corn,
s. cents. All this happens under Mr. Polk S
administration, and no regulator oflhe cur
rency. Yet wool, which sold for IS cents
last year,is now reduced 10 from 80 to 81.
The wool grower naturally inquiries for the
cause OF all this decline. He finds the
large manufacturing corporations making
from TO 20 per cent. dividends. Let the
wool-growers look at facts, and he will!
see why his business declines while the
manufacturer grows rich.
''ln 1910. abo4, 30, 000,O3 pounds Of
wool was raised i. the United States. BY
reference to reports Of the treasurer. it will
be seen that an average of about 400, 000
lbs. is all the fine wool, or European wool
that has been imported annually for the last
ten years. In 1874, good wool sold in this
county for is cents per pound. The du

Since the murder of the 4th, we have
had perfect deluge of past and present in

they have led to incidents still more astonisb

TIE MORAL GREATNESS OF LIBERTY
In low state Of intellectual culture, the
ambition OF men is to possess great physic
al strength or agility. If they come to-
gether, their conversation is about such
matters as how much they can lift, and how
fast they can run, whom they can fog,
and the like. In proportion as men are
deficient in moral elevation, they are also
fond Of trinkets, gaudv feathers, and trap
pings of ARGUS sorts AMI in proportion as
a government, or anything else, is low and
bad, will be its efforts to pat on Fictitious
destinations and the show Of consequence.

WiSHINGToy'S FAREWELL TO HIS ARMY
DECEMBER 4th, 1888.

Can tyrants but by tyrantsconquer'd be,
And freedom find no champion and no child,
Such as Columbia saw arise, when she
Sprang forth Pallas, amid and undefled!
Or must such minds be noursh'd in the wild,
Deep in the unpruned forest midst the roar
Ofcaaracs, where nursing Nature smiled
On infant WAsHINGToN! Has Earth no more
Such seed within her breast or Europe no such
shore? BYRON.
The Revolution was over. The
eight years conflict had ceased, and
the warriors were now to seperate for
ever, turning their weapons into plough
shares, and their camps into workshops.
The spectacle, though a sublime and
glorious one, was yet attended with
sorrowful feelings!-for, alas! in the
remains of that little gallant army of
patriot soldiers, now about to disband
without pay-without support, stalked
poverty, want and disease-the coun-
try had not the means to be grateful.
The details of the condition of ma
nv of the officers and soldiers at that
period according to history and oral
tradition, were melancholy in the ex-
IRENE. Possessing no means of patri-
monial inheritance to fall back upon
thrown out of even the perilous sup
port of the soldier at the commence
ment of winter, and hardly fit for any
other duty than that of the camp-their
situation can be as we'll imagined as
described.
A single instance, as sample OF
the situation of many of the officers,
as related of the conduct of Baron
Steuben, may not be amiss. When
the main body Of the army was dlsban-
ded at Newburgh, and the veteran sol
diers were bidding parting farewell
to each other, Lieutenant Colonel
Cochran, an aged soldier of the New
Hampshire line, remarked, with tears
in his eyes, as he shook hands with the
Baron ..7r
eFor myself, could stand it; but
my wife and daughters are in the gar
ret of that wretched tavern, and have
no means of removing them
"Come, come" said the Baron,
"don't give way thus, | will pay my
respects to Mrs. Cochran, and her
daughters. !"
When the good old soldierleft them,
their countenances were warm with
gratitude, for he left them all he had.
In one of the Rhode Island regiments
were several companies ofblack troops,
who had served Throughout the whole
war, and their bravery and discipline
were unsurpassed. The Baron obsery-
ed one of these poor wounded negroes
on the wharf, at Newburgh, apparent
" in great distress.
"What's the matter, brother soldier
"Wby, Master Baron, / want a dollar
to get home with, now the Congress
has no further use for me-"
The Baron was absent for few mo-
ments, and. returned with a silver dol
lar, which he had borrowed.
aThere, it is all | could get-take
it,
The negro receiyedit with joy, hail
eia sloop WIN was passing down the
nyerto New York, and, as he reached
the deck, took off bis hat, and said
.sGod bless Master Baron. Z u
These are only single illustrations q
the condition of the army, at the close
&c the war. Indeed, Washington had

shall be obliged TO you, II each oi you
will take me by the hand
General Knox, who stood nearest,
burst into tears, and advanced-lnca-
pabIe of utterance-W Washington grasp
ed him by the hand, and embraced
him. The oficerscam up successive
ly and took an affectionate leave. NO
words were spoken, but all was the
| 'ssilent eloquence of tears" What
were mere words at such scene?-
Nothing. 1t was the feeling of the
thrilling, though unspoken.
When the last of the officers had
embraced him, Washington left the
room, followed by his comrades, and
passed through the lines Of light infan-
try. His step was slow and measured
his head uncovered, and the tears
flowing thick and fast, as he looked
from side to side at the veterans
whom he now babe adieu forever
ShortIyan event occurred more touch
ing than all the rest. A gigantic sol
der, who had stood by his side at
Trenton, stepped forth from the ranks,
and extended his hand. @
"FarewelI, my beloved general, fare
WE'LL"
Washington grasped his handincon
vulsive emotion, in both of his. All
discipline was now at an end, the Off
GERS could not restrain the men, as they
rushed forward to take Washington by
the hand, and the sobs and tears Of
the soldiers told how deeply engraven
upon their affections was the love of
their commander.
Atlength Washington reached the
barge at White Hail, and entered it.
At the first stroke of the oar, he rose,
and turningto the companions of his
glory, by waving his hat, babe them
silent adieu-their answer was only in
tears--oficers and men, with glisten-
ing eyes watched the receding boat, till
the form of their noble commander was
lost in the distance.
Contrast the farewell of Washington
to his army at White Hall, in 1888,
and the adieu of Napoleon TO his army
at Fountainbleu5 in the year 1914!
The one had accomplished every wish
of his heart. His noble cxertions had
achieved the independence ofhis coun-
try, and he longed to retire to the bo-
som Of his home-his ambition was
satisfied. He fought for no crown or
sceptre, but for equality and the mutu-
al happiness of his fellow beings. No
faint of tyranny, no breath Of SANDER,
no whisper of duplicity, marred the
fair proportions of his public or private
! life-but
"He was man, take him for all in all,
! We meier shall look upon his like again"
The other great soldier was the dis
ciple of selfish ambition. He raised
the iron weapon of war TO crush only
that be might rule. Whatto him were
the cries of the widows and orphans? =
He passed to throne by making the
dead bodies Of their protectors his step
ping stones. Ambition--self, were
the gods of idolatry, and to them he
sacrificed hecatombs of his fellow men
for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of personal glo-
ry. Enthusiasm points with fearful
wonder to the name of Napoleon, whilst
justice, benevolence, freedom and al
! the concomitants which constitute the
true happiness of man, she'd almost Z
divine halo round the name and char
acter of Washington.
