5g~The Times and Free Press have
now reached about the same di-
mensions that the Rutland HERALD has
had almost uninterruptedly since its
first pubication.-Rul Rulpnd HeraId.
1t strikes US that the Burlington
Dailies have reached little over the
dimensions of the HERALD. The Free
Press was about the size of the HER
AID before we enlarged and if our
friends of the Herald should add on
auotherofits narrow columns to page,
their sheet would be nearer our present
size than now-Bwliagtoa Free Press.
The weather is very cool, but the
above is cooler. The Free Press, since its
increase ofsize, must have got an idea
shat it is considerably larger than it
really is. We will give the figures. A
printed page Of the Free Press is no~
seven-eighths Of an inch wider than a
printed page of the, Herald but on the
other hand the page Of the Herald is
fully one and one,quarter inches loagt'
than the page of the Free Press. In fact
the shape of the Free Press page is some
what like that Of a singing book but
it takes length as well as breadth t(
make square inches.

QUEER.

We are not particularly anxious
that our Government should go to
war in behalf of Mexico, and we
know that Copperheads are particu-
larly anxious that It should not. This
of itself is well enough, for war at
best is horrible. But we remember
very distinctly during the war for the
Union to have heard Copperheads
say that "if this was a war with q
foreign nation, we would join with
you heart and hand. If it was to
help the Mexicans we would be with
you" Such expressions were com
mon, but no one believed in their
honesty, considering it as sneakine
way of dodglng what they knew to
be their duty. There is no danger
of war for Mexico, and the Cop.
perheads, to be consistent should ad.
vocate American interference. They
can do it without danger, and get q
name for bravery--or buncome.

Fitzpatrick and u Rebel officer.


The Soldiers Friend tells the fol,
lowing story:
A few evenings since, after "Dem.
ocratic" meeting at Hackensack,
some gentlemen met in the bar-room
OF the hotel in that place, among
whom were some very warm "Dem-
ocrats." One of them was pal ticu-
larry severe on the general. ".Ie

fight where he went! Took good
care to keep out OF the way of men.
Small body--sandy hair-nothing to
make a man OFF, ETC., etc. After
this strain had been indulged in for
some time, a gentleman who sat qui-
city by, listening to the conversation,
turned around and said: "My dear
friend, give every man his due. /
fought Fitzpatrick nine times fought
him in nine battles, and he fought like
the devil !"
The speaker further defined his
position by saying he was from
Charleston, South Carolina, and had
gone into the war with the rest. He
had been prisoner, was only a few
days out of prison, and knew what he
was talking about.
This was shell at "short range"
and was followed by prolonged ST.
lence, during which the generals as
sailant found safety in prudent re-
treat from the field.

NEW ENGLAND MONOPOLY.

Much is said about New England
monopoly, and the taxes the West
has to pay her for manufacturing
its raw material. We do not see
anything wrong in this, as regards
the New England manufacturer. 1t
is nothing more than is due to en-
terprise.
We do not mean to be understood
as taking sides with capital against
labor. The New England manu-.
facturer has been enterprising, has
the capital to back him, and has es-
tablished such monopoly as good
business enterprise always establish
es everywhere-he draws money from
his less enterprising neighbor. Can
he be blamed ?
A large per cent. Of the wool rails
ed in the West is sent east. 1t is
there manufactured into cloths, and
returned to us for our use. The
manufacturer realizes or it from for.
ty to fifty per cent Can he be blam
ed; it being purely business trans
action ?
We ourselves are alone to blame.
1t would be crazy idea for man
who had hundvsd sheep 20 send the
wool cast to get it manufactured, pay.
ing the freight both ways and as
much, or more, for having it manu-
iactured as he would haye to day at
home. Practically, we are doing this
ourselves. We send our wool east
each year to be manufactured, thus
putting money in the pocket of the
manufacturer that we might as well
retain-giving money to build up and
increase the wealth of the East at
the expense of the West. This
should not be done, and it is our
fault that it is done. We raise the
wool, and why should we not maufac
ture it2 Not only for our home use,
but for foreign markets. We have
the capital, the manufacturing talent,
and everything necessary to do it.
If we lack anything it is the will.
Let us cease to complain of New
England monopoly, and go to work
to break it-break it by putting
Western capital, talent and enterprise
in competitor with Eastern. This is
the way to break it eflectually, and
the only way.

The Chairman of the South Carolina
delegation TO the President, declares
his belief that emancipation has al
ready increased the self.respect of
the negroes; and many very prom.
inent planters, hitherto successful in
their business, are of the opinion that
the negroes, if properly paid and well
treated, will work under the new sys-
TEN.
Astounding discovery, that men
will work for pay! Still, perhaps a
man may become educated to think
that work can only be evoked by the
lash. We doubt not men have been,
some, perhaps, yet are so hallucinated
they do not comprehend the beauty
and justice of nearly the whole round
worlds decision, that a fair days
work, is entitled to q fair days pay.
These planters may be as much sur
prised to see Free Labor work well,
as q certain Sambo who had been
lied to and made to believe an Alb
olitionist was some horrid being with
seven heads and ten horns, or more,
who blurted out when he actually
saw one, "Why, l swear, he looks
just like other follts!' Men will work
for fair pay, and good treatment, and
the yought to work, as mass, for
nothing short of that; and they are
justified in wadipg to their armpits
in the blood Of tyrants, to get just
that--if that is the last resort.
