CIRCULAR SAW MILL-Stepping into
the lumber and circular saw mill of
Messrs. Tarbell, Tolman q Co. the other
day, we think we witnessed the working
of the best mill to be found in this sec
ton or in fact anywhere. The main fea-
ture is the great rapidity with which the
mill turns off work, and saves every inch
of lumber fit for any kind of use or man
ufacture. The main saw alone supplies
constant work for two or three smaller
ones, and keeps some six or eight men
constantly employed. The circular saw
is of Clark & Chapman's manufacture,
and has Balls patent attachment, and is
much credit to them as well as most
expeditions arrangement for getting out
lumber. BY it Messrs Tarbell, Tolman
q Co. will soon build up large lumber
business in which we certainly wish them
the most abundant success.

Vote the State Ticket.

1t is not unfrequent in Vermont that
disaiiection arises on account of some To-
cal nomination and union voters STAY
away from the polls altogether on this
account. Now we entreat all such this
year not to fail to be on hand and vote
the State ticket. No matter about the
local ticket. If it does not suit you let
it go, but do not on that account deprive
yourself nor your friends of the benefit
of your vote for the Grant and Colfax
State ticket next Tuesday.

from the County Committee

Our County Committee have issued the
following appeal to the leading Republi-
cans of every town in the county. We
earnestly hope that those to whom it may
be addressed will see that their wishes may
be carried out.
JAMAICA, Aug. Is, 1868.
DEARSIR:-Ourlast Republican State
Convention passed the following resolu.
ton:
Resotved, That in order that Vermont
may give her largest possible Republican
majority at the September election, we
urge upon the State Committee to make
thorough canvass of the State; and
we further recommend the immediate or,
ganization of Grant and Colfax clubs, as
far as practicable, in every town.
This State being the first to hold a gen.
eral election prior to the Presidential con-
test it is all-important it shall give large.
ly increased majority. Not that any
doubts that Vermont, always true and
loyal, will cast her vote for Grant and
Colfax; but if she gives, Gas she can,)
10000 Republican majority, it will tell
through all the States. This can be done
by personal effort in every town and we
confidently rely upon you to canvass your
town and see that full vote is cast on
the first Tuesday of September next.

prove that the county committee have
done their duty, and that some one has
the votes. The votes are probably
printed, and furnished at Brattleboro,
and as Nathan Hall, Esq, of that place
is one Of the county committee, we doubt
not he will attend to all orders addressed
to him.

DEBT Nor PAID.-The impression
given by democratic orators is that pay
ing off the fve-twenty bonds in green
backs, pays off the national debt, when
the truth is it is no such thing. We
should still owe so much as principal,
only we should owe it in greenbacks in
stead of bonds. What are greenbacks !?
Why, simply notes of "promise to pay,
and with them we should owe seventeen
hundred million in greenbacks instead of
seventeen hundred millions in bonds,
and the "poor man." the moderate
man." the "laboring man." and the
mechanic" would all have to be taxed
Just as much hereafter TO pay the green
backs, as to pay the bonds.

1NFLATION.-The policy of inAa-
ton put forward by the democrats under
the specious guise of "paying off the ma
tional debt" would not only ruin the
business of the country, but reduce the
"poor man" the moderate man." and
"the mechanic" to the most abject pow
erty. How? By increasing and multi
plying the price of everything he has to
buy in ratio far beyond any price he
could command for his labor. He would
pay TWO DOLLARS a pound for but
ter, and the man who sells butter would
be no better off, for he would have to
pay FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
each for his COWS, and ONE HUNDRED
DOLLARS per acre for his pasture in
which to keep them. Such has always
been the result of great volume of pa
per money. Labor is now only about
double what it was before the war, while
the expenses of living are much more.
We mention this merely to show that la
Dor cannot expect to keep pace with the
enormous increase of prices of the neces-
saries of life. Not because it ought NOT
to and is not worthy of it, but because
capital will decline to build or do other
work or business at such enormous rates
and thus the demand for labor would fall
| off
