Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1869-12-30

A morning contemporary, after re
citing almost u column full of every va
ricty of crime now rife in the cummun-
ity, and it is truly sad to contemplate
that these things should be, asks why is
all this? Is it the decentralization pro-
duced by the war? We think we can
enlighten him little upon this point.
That it is an oiishoot of the war cannot
be denied, but in this way: the war
stimulated, with inflated paper currency,
all kinds OF business, all forms of indus
try, from the highest to the lowest
every one was making money. But the
reverse came and is now severely felt.
Business for the past few years has
been very dull. 1t has been a constant
complaint of merchants during this time
that they were not doing enough to pay
their immensely increased store rents
the rents, raised during the war, have
not yet found the level Of the changed
condition Of things. A store hired wi,r
paper at thirty-three cents on the dollar
of course calls pretty hard on the purse
to pay it at cighty-fvc. Much of this
| condition exists in our midst. Skilled
labor is wandering about seeking en-
ploy, to say nothing of the vast amount
Of unskiled, which is now over album
dant and in urgent need for the ncccssa-
ries of life. Now, history repeats itself
by showing that when this state of
things exists in community crime is
always rife. Merchants setting the
torch to their own stores to get the in
surancc is not an unknown occurrence.
Skilled labor seeking the use of burglars
tools and watching far and wide for OPP
portunities to use them is among the too
frequent items Of the every day record
Of our criminal courts. The richer
classes, then, if our views are correct,
can do something towards ameliorating
this condition of thiugs-a little less
grasping after the enormous rents will
enable those hiring the stores to live
and let live, the landlords of dwelling
houses should reduce their rents to q
, fair and equitable standard, and thus
, all below them will feel tne influence,
and little more of the spirit of live
and let live" for each one to bring nom,
to his own consciousness may ten,
much TO omeiiorate this sad picture Q
society as we see it at present.

IT Is so.-Thc New York .S,m, a
Republican paper, thinks the Republi-
can party and its mission are about
ended 1t says
"The cheering tone of the message
in respect to the early and satisfactory
disposition of all the issues which
sprang out Of the rebellion, suggests
the grave inquiry whether their peace
full settlement does not really use up
the capital stock of the Republican par
ty, and terminate its mission. The
elections this autumn should convince
the Republicans that their hold upon
power is gradually relaxing"
Just as quick as the people of the
country ascertain, as they are now do
ing. that the Republican party is alone
responsible for the sad condition that
the nation is now in, then will they
turn from the "cyil Of their ways, and
vote the Democratic ticket The re-
SIor''lon to power of our party will put
the country all right again. This fact
We shall continue to keep before the
people until the act is accomplished and
the country saved.

Now the best hill that ever made,
with the best cluster seed from two stalks,
was nearly sovcn hundred pods. Those
all my neighbors have seen, as well as all
of my experiments. This, in my judg-
ment, is the limit of production. But,
my dear sirs, nobody assumes that the
standard of perfection reached by expert
ment can be taken as an average. No
one has been misled by the perfection in
wheat culture attained by the expert
ments Of the Athens clnb last season.
Nevertheless these standards mark the
limit of production, to which We may ap-
proximate general average.
am not prepared to say how much
cotton can be made as an average per
acre by my plan. With the best seed |
am convinced that an average oftrom 40O
to 500 pods can be had to tile hill or hole,
under favorable circumstances, when dis
tance enough is allowed for an expansive
growth. l feel assured that from FIVE 10
six thousand pounds of seed cotton can be
made to the acre upon my plan.

1t lis impossible for me to state accu-
rately the cost of cultivation per acre by
nv m ethod at this time. l think it much
more profitable than our old plan, and
would be glad to see it thoroughly tested
by number of persons, and will cheer
fully, for this purpose, accord to them the
use of my patent upon application to me
(No. G94, Eutaw place, BaltimoreG The
sources from which [ look to profit over
the d.system are as follows:
Three or tour acres in cotton would be
sufficient to the hand. -,
One-fourth the horse power only will
be required Tor given production OF cot,
ton. One-fifth Of the fencing only will
be required. Much labor in cultivation
will be dispensed with, except in picking.
The cotton seed made TO each hill will en-
rich the same hill from year to year, as
the soil is only deprived OF the lint, and
there is but little loss by evaporation.
Tho preparation for the second year
upon the same ground will be much de-
creased, inasmuch lis so deep preparation
of the soil remains, in great degree un-
impaired. Upon hill sides it saves great
deal of labor, much of which is lost, and
avoids the effects of washing rains.
The glass for each acre is somewhat ex-
pensive, but not near so expensive as the
cost of extra horses and extra feed, which
would be required by our old plans. When
cared for the glass hot bed is stock In
trade, and will last for a number of years;
The cups Of earthcn O, Jug ware will
last for fifty years, and are also stock in
trade, requiring no food or extra caro-
They can be made at any pottery at a
cost of not exceeding slS per thousand.
I am under the impression that in short
time they can be had at cheaper rates,
probably Of material that will make
their cost insignificant.
This principle will probably be intro
duced into tobacco culture, and is admir-
ably adapted to the wants Of hortlcultu-
rists, while market gardeners, who aim
at the earliest vegetables for market, will
find ir profitable investment.

SAN FRANCISCO.

San Francisco is threaten ed with
eclipse. A rival is springing up not
more than twenty-six miles distant,
which promises, at an early day, to
consign it to the fate of Babylon and
Tyre. This new and fortunate locality
is young and growing town called
Benicia, 26 miles north of San Francisco.
1t is said to possess incalculab!e advan-
tages over the city of The Golden Gate.
San Francisco is built on a peninsula,
almost isolated from the rest of the
State except by water, remote from the
mining localities and from the rich
farming districts, which are near to Be-
nicia. 1t is also 175 miles from the
capital, while Benicia is only SO (which
we don't understand) on a dead level,
along which a railroad is being construc-
ted. The harbor of Benicia is the finest
on the Pacific coast, and will accommo-
date 1900 vessels Of the largest class
Benicia is also situated on an advanced
inland point, which brings it close to all
the interior. In support of this view

The thinking world will not believe
that the manipulators of the Govern
ment have no hand in the present rise
of gold, nor will the public be content
that the Government should sell gold
At mSSf8s f fIhEes DAYS before it commands
will not believe certain officers of Gov
eminent are disinterested spectators of
what is. going on in Wall street, for the
reason that the rise could be prevented
by Government sales Of gold whenever
gold spectators undertake to bull the
market. There is no reason why these
sales should be confined to certain days
of the week and month, or if this is to
be the rule, there is no reasen why it
should not have its exceptions, and
hence we are forced to the conclusion
that leading members of the Adminis-
tration are very sharp or very stupid
and we acquit them OF the latter.
The effect of these continued Huctua-
tions on business is very disastrous to
trade. One man pays his duties on
imports when gold is 1928, and anoth-
er is compelled to pay them all the way
up to 142, or whatever may be the
highest price of gola. When foreign
articles are bought for gold, as tea, coffee,
sugar, or other imports, when the mar
gins are very small for profit and COM
missions, the man who pays in gold at
1928 can undersell tho merchant who
pays when gold is five or ten per cent.
higher as just so much less. Gold spc-
culation to trade, established men of
business, and the commercial interests
of the country, are ruinous, and it is
shame that the officers of the Govern
ment either have hand in such specu-
lations or that the force of tho Govern
ment is not made to prevent them,
If Gold is to be run up to 140 again,
as could be done in one hour by q sim
pie order from Secretary Boutwell,, we
insist that the Government shall have
the benefit of the advance, and not be-
come directly or indirectly part of
ring who have run up Gold four per
cent in as many days.-Evening Ex-

History, it is true, shows that the
most advanced navigable inland point
is that which attracts commerce, and
there are plenty of eases to prove that.
Perth Amboy, it was thought at one
time, would DO the commercial metrop-
oils of America, and Sandy Hook had
100 houses before New York began to
grow; but the latter has killed them
both as ports. AS soon as Baltimore
was found to be accessible to large crafts
she swallowed up Annapolis. Bucks
port, in Maine, had to give way for
Bangor as soon as vessels got up there;
Newport was passed by for Providence
and Greenock, in Scotland, which had a
population of 10000 before Glasgow
scarcely existed, has now but about
$4,000, while Glasgow has a population
of nearly half million, and all because

An American will occasionally tell us,

admit that we arc so destitute of COM
