Farmers Stand in their Own Path

The farming interests of Vermont
have always had a majority in the leg
islature, and whenever any collision
with other interests has arisen they
have been able to secure their own
ends. In late years the railroad, the
manufacturing, the mechanical, com.
mercial and other interests have often
asked for some protection and aid,
and not unfrequently have these been
opposed by the farmers, who consider
themselves and their pursuits the
iefobject to be cared for and sources
Of prosperity in the State, and there.
fore entitled to control its legislation,
and acted as if the fostering OF other
interests was detrimental to theirs.
Now is this so? We should like to ask
the farmers to reconsider this matter
and see if they nave not selfshly and
narrowly opposed their cwn interests
We believe the prosperity Of the farm.
ing interests would be promoted by
promoting judicously all the other
honorable industries Of which the
state is capable.
After careful examination of the
recent returns Of the census Of every
town in the state, it is estimated that
other industries have added hirty sil
thousand three hundred to the popula
ton OF the state III the last ten years,
and that the farming interests have
lost in population about t,ceaty one
thousand three hURdrod in the same
time, and this in spite Of the fact that
the farmers have had the dominant
power in legislation. The fact is that
the production of the great agricultu-
raj staples OF Vermont, horses, wood,
beef, mutton, butter and cheese. with
the increasing use of the moving ina.
chine and other machinery makes a
lessening need of farm laborers and
their families. In all localities where
these predominant the space between
farm houses widens aad population
diminishes. The wealth of individu.
al farmers increases, but hardly that
OF the community; schools, churches
and all the best social institutions
wane.
Now let some capitalist enter such
a town, or, better, let the citizens en-
ploy their surplus capital, and their
credit, to establish some mandatory,
or some enterprise OF mechanical in
dustry, to work up the wood or stone
or clay or any thing else into some
useful things that the world wants.
and thus furnish employment to one
hundred men. Immediately there will
come in families Of laborers, shoemak-
ers, tailors, and other needed mechan.
les, merchants aud business men, ad.
ding a thousand or more TO the popu-
lation of the village. A new impetus
will De given 10 schools and churches,
increased ambition and enterprise
will be added to every youth, new in
dustrial enterprises will be started,
pride of home will arise, and the youth
will remain to build up, instead Of
gatherings all hepatrimony they scrape
together and departing to impoverish
the'old homestead and build up some
distant town. i. m
