III So the tools of the manufacturers
tell you. Is it, You get nothing for your
wool and the manufacturers make enor-
nous profits! Why can't they afford
with their 80 per cent, yearly dividends
to pay decent price for your wool'
They can but they wOnE They are
not Obliged to buy your wool-they can
get foreign-and till this Tariff is re-
modelled and the manufacturer is com.
PEELED to pay you, yOur price for wool,
will things be as they are-you growing
poor and the manufacturers growing rich.
Now, we say reverse this motto. Let
us have now for while "Protection to the
wool grower is protection to the manu-
facturer!" Turn about is fair play. Let
us see the farmer selling his wool at his
own price. Have the foreign wool now
thrown into competition with his wool,
shut out by equitable Tarill-so that the
manufacturer must buy the farmers wool
at his own price, or not have it at ALL
Let us have this awhile and see how it
will work.

The following merited compliment to
the Hon. Edmund Burke, we copy from
the Wall Street Reporter, democratic
paper published in New York city
"Hon. Edmund Burkc.-Mr Burke is
one of the 'best.abused men of this day,
and we know no man who less deserves
abuse. Mr. Burke has the misfortune to
be a straightforward, plain spoken, up
and down man. What he thinks, that he
says-and if friend or foe stand in the way
why it is all the same. Out comes the
truth, 'as he understands it, Whatever
turns up, you may be always sure of get
ting the mans real sincere, and earnest
opinions. This is something. Mr. Burke,
too, is an excellent democrat; one of the
right kind, and kind which, we fear, is
getting rather scarce. Although we have
always been ready to record our favor
able opinion of Mr. Ellsworth, yet we.
think Mr. Burke will make an excellent
officer. We don't believe the Patent Of
flee could have fatlen into better hands,

The PotatOe BHght,-It appears by the
following article from the last number of
the Massachusetts Spy that symptoms Of
this disease are already making their ap-
pearanCe.
at grieves us TO say that the blight
which caused such destruction to the
potatoe crop last year, has thus early COM
menced its ravages the present season.
Wehave examined a field belonging TO
Gov Lincoln, which we are assured ex-
hibited aPerfectly healthy appearance on
the Sd inst. On the 9th, portions of the
vines showed indication Of disease, and on
the 18th, about one half of them were
more or less shrivtlled, many Of them
shrunk to one half of their former dimen-
sions, and some OF the leaves already
turned brown and nearly dry. The pota-
toes were ofthe red variety, sometimes
called the peach blows. The seed was Sc,
Iected, and in fine and apparently health
y state. We opened one Of the hills most
affected with the disease, and found the
seed still sound and apparently healthy
Some of the new set potatoes were about
the size of a robins egg, and looked well,
So Gar as we observed, the disease APP
peared 10 commence at the upper part of

If the wing party were the true friends
of the industrial interests Of the country,
they would not thus strive, on all occa-
sions, to make the tariff political hobby
horse. This continual thrusting it INTO
every change of the market. is by no
means calculated to keep it out of the
political cauldron, Agitation may sub
serve partisan purposes, and therefore u
permanent settlement of the tariff upon
fair and equitable grounds would by no
means SUIT them; but still we have the con-
ISOLATION, the more it is agitated the nearer
will we approach the truth.
This effort to pull the wool over the
eyes of the farmers, will be less affective
now, because they have the experience
before them Of rise in iron ond other
staples (Which would naturally be sensi-
lively affected by change in the tariff
while wool, which is LESS projected, falls
largely. The absurdity of the elamor is
the more manifest when we remark that
the Democratic Party have urgently insist
ed that wool did not have a fare rate of
protection under the present tariff There
is an old maxim, that those who 60 out for
wool, sometimes come back shorn. Per-
haps this will not be napplicabe TO the
present. tariff agitation, by wing partisans.

Despise not the wealth Of the merchant 1t has
been earned at cost which it is impossible to es-
innate. While the farmer rests quietly after his
day of toll, the sleep of the merchant is disturbed
by overwhelming fears. The rewards of your la
Dor is sure. You know that so long as Gods prom
Use lasts you are safe while he knows that a
"change Of tines the slightest interruption in the
wheels of commerce, may engulph him in ire
trievablo ruin and bankruptcy.
Envy not the student. His pale cheek shows at
what expense his knowledge is obtained. He is
shut up in the smoky cabinet or clolster, while you
enjoy the pure breezes Of heaven.
Envy not the distinguished statesman. His name
may be in every mouth; but envy and malice fol-
low him. And he feels that should he attain the
highest stations, he will make hundreds of enemies
for every Office it is in his power to bestow.
The situation of the Farmer is that Ill which the
Almighty placed his people in their days of COM
paratlve innocence, and to that situation many Of
His laws refer and when in the fulness of time,
the Messiah came, it was to the shepherds that his
advent was announced, by a chorus of angels. 1t
has been honored as the choice of the great and
good of all ages, 1t was chosen by the Almighty
for his people under the old dspensation, and they
were the earliest recipients of his favor under the
new. Agriculture conduces to health and compe-
tence and in giving these, it gives all this life
bestow, and if rightly improved, they will open to
him glorious future.

"Let Liberty men be of good courage, for at our
present rate Of increase, Vermont will soon be re-
deemed from the control of the pro-Slavery par
ties."- Green Mountain Freeman.
Pro-Slavery? Go with that black epithet to some
other market than the Wing party Of Vermont
Until they like you, have been guilty of proSla-
verysm," as accessories in the acts of electing
James K. Polk, President-o of putting both branch
es of Congress into the hands of the Savocracy--
and of annexing Texas to the Union to hold its
own slaves and become market for the slave
breeders in all the old slave-holding States-they
will not accept the name. Take it back gentle
men, and stick it upon the foreheads of your own
leaders, or on that party whose allies you were in
the Presidential election.
As to the "present rate of increase" and pro-
spectve victories of Third Partysm, we have but
word to say: and that is, that at the rate of this
year, it will take some twenty years more to OBJ
tain majority of the present number of voters
With a tolerably smart increase of population, the
prophetic victory of the Freeman would be post
poned indefinitely.

FAIRS.

This week has found the farmers of many of the
counties of the State assembled together to exhb-
it the fruits of their industry and skill and to take
sweet counsel together for future Improvement
Would that every county had its agricultural soc-
ETY. and its annual fair How long will the farmers
of Washington county pay taxes to be spent in pre-
miums by the societies in other counties? How
long will they deny themselves the privilege which
the State offers?
BY the way; these fairs are becoming, to some
extent, a market We know farmers of Caledonia
county who have been on to Addison county this
week, with view of providing for an improvement
in their sheep So it should be- and so it will be
with agricultural fairs, when they bring out The best
productions.

MIDWAY, sept. 10 1919.
Another melancholy and fatal accident occurred
in this town, on Tuesday, the I'D inst. Mr. Wind
sor Warren Jones, of North Marlborough, w. who
has been employed upon the farm of Hon. l.. Met
calf, the past season, lost his life, in most shock
ing manner. In attempting to oil the gudgeons of
large double cylinder Seed Roller, with the oxen
attached, he thrust his arm and head into the end
of one of the cylinders between the spokes or arms
of the cylinder, when the ted and his head
was caught and compressed between one of the
arms and the external shafts through which the AK
lie passes. A very deep confusion was made, four
or five inches in length, extending from between
the nose and left eye dlagonalIy across the fore
head. The orbit Of the eye was completely crush
ed, the skull broken into several pieces, and por-
ton Of the brain laid bare. lie was taken up in
sensible and remained so for twenty-seven hours,
when he expired, at the age Of 26 years. lie was
an intelligent upright and enerprising yonng man,
and has left father and mother, who have been
mainly dependant upon him for support, in feeble
health and declining te,to mourn their loss, by his
untimey and melancholy death.
Ills two brothers, living in Worcester County,
came to sympathise with him in his dying agonies ;
one of whom, only, arrived in season to witness
his departure
Ills remalns were immediately removed, by them,
to the home Of their parents, in Vermont.

General Taylor to a gentleman in that city, dated
Corpus Christi, September 18th:

we shall do so, at least for some time; our Chief
Magistrate cannot declare war, and from all the in

have the temerity to do so, she viii hardly attempt
to invade any Of our territory, but will act on the

81. c., gardner to Admiral p, has planted the
same kind of ash-top kidney for more than ten
years. The first year or two he took up those in
tended for seed at the same time as those intended
for consumption; hut found that they grew so much
during the winter that they were obliged to be
sprouted twice. which weakened the set so much
as to nure the crop. lie then tried the effect of
leaving them longer in the ground as
much as three months after the plant was ripe
This produced the desired effect of preventing the
growth during the winter; but after some years
continuance he found the terminating power so
much injured that they were a month or more later
in coming up than those of his neighbors, treated
in the ordinary way. In fact, he could scarcely
get them to grow at ALL and was forced TO change
his plan"
81. T., laboring man, has grown ash-top kid
neys for years, and finds them better and ear
lier than when he first got them,F lie is in the hab
it of planting those he intends for sets after taking
up his crop of cabbages, which is at the end of
June or beginning of July. He also takes them
up before they ripe never finds them fail they
grow earlier in spring than potatoes not treated,
and make stronger and healthier plants. People
frequently come to him for sets"
The contrast between these two instances is very
complete. Two men, living not above two or three
hundred yards from one another, and whose gar
dens, as far as could Judge are precisely similar
in quality, grow the same kind of potato in the
same seasons ]. rs potatoes, being taken up I'M
