Wool.

The increase in the price of wool the
last six months is not unaccOuntable,
hut really it has been most unreasOnably
rapid. 1t arises, not so much from i'm
mediate scarcity as from an apprehen
sion of a prospective deficiency. There
fore manufacturers are i'll the market
buying freely. Competition ensues, and
hence the unnatural or rapid rise in the
price of wool. A steady upward ten
dency in the price is altogether reason
able, and grows ont of the fact of an
actual deficiency in the production, not
in this country alone, for the deficiency
extends to all parts of the world.
During our war, cotton was i'll great
demand, and scarce, the production of
wool was stimulated, and when the war
closed and cotton could he freely dis
tributed over the world, at Il moderate
cost, it became, to certain extent, a
substitute forwool. Wool became cheap,
and the decree went forth for Il general
destruction of sheep. They were slaugh-
tered i'll this country in untold numbers.
There is now Il present scarcity. Wool
now commands ii good price. 1t will
continue so for few years to come, and
for many we doubt not. it will remain
IL rcmunerative production. The price
is not 81 high. nor is it likely to so be,
us to warrant great sacrifices, on the
part of farmers. of the stock of cattle or
horses they may have Oh hand, and the
payment of eXorbitant prices for sheep.
The dairy business is now good. and
with the disposition to resort more freely
to the raising of sheep, it promises to
improve.
The prospect then for the farmer is.
in reference to the productions of the
dairy and wool. that there will he. for
an equality in the profits of each branch
of these industries. than for some Years
past Each must he reasonably salts
factory.
| The recent importation of several
caryoeS of wool into the United States.
direct from Australia. has not had the
effect to check in the least the upward
tendency i'll the price of the domestic
production. Australian wool heretofore
has found Il market in England rather
than in the United States.

The Farmers Together.

The gathering which the Patrons of
Husbandry had provided for at the Ave
nue. House, came off according to pro
gram last Thursday. There was a large
what was done then and there, we
gather from the Times:
The meeting was opened with prayer
by Rev. Isaac McAnn. after which David
GoOdall of East st. Johnsbury, read an
essay upon Fruit Culture" 1t was
full of interesting information.
DR.. HOskins, editor of the Vermont
Farmer, was not present, but gave his
paper on ''Nermont as Farming State.
into the hands of the society which was
read. This was an excellent production,
noting the reasons of emigration from
Vermont, the productiveness of its soil
and its future glory.
Then came the discussion of the resO-
luton, That farmers require il better
education than any other class in the
community, by George r. Drew. Josiah
Ward, Henry Blake. and Eben Thomp-
son. The discussion was spirited well
sustained, and setting forth numerous
]
| farmer.
Mr.. Jameson, member of the State
Board of Agriculture, then gave an essay
upon the social position of the farmer
as it was, as it is. and as it should he.
Mr.. Jameson'S paper was lengthy, Gov
cred the whole ground. and was well
! received.
The time had now arrived for dinner,
that dinner that Mr.. Hale promised
/ long ago-the farmers dinner to the
| Patrons and friends. In spite of Mr..
| IIalc'S quiet and cautious cndcaVOrS, the
odorS of the rcpa>t crept up from the
rooms below. 81 rich and fragrant, that
| the audience became almost intoxicated.
and listened to the last part of the pre-
cedinw ESSAY with considerable impa-
thence. Upon the closing remarks of
| the speaker, the gong called them to dim
ncr Il farmers dinner. indeed. Every
expectation was realized. and every
ones appetite satisfied.
| After dinner. the Harringtons. with
/ the assistance of Mrs. o. ID. Hopkins.
added their musical talent t" the ever
ci>cS. and opened the meeting with il
| spirited song. to the tune Of llulrah for
/ Old New England"
Mr.. +. l.. II"vey then gave his lecture
on '.PatromS of HuShandrN." which was
a fine exposition of the society.
Judge Carpenter followed with AN
ESSAY on The improvement of Farm
cr>. He gave a practical view of the
/ subject and an earnest and somewhat
eloquent appeal to farmers to seek for
improN tmrnt. for 10y 50 doing there
would await them Il glorious future.
/ Two or three more songs were given.
and the meeting closed the program
being shortened for want of time.

Election in New Hampshire.

Many of our readers are natives of.
or in some way interested in. the old
Granite State. The .Ides of March"
are approaching. and all friendly eyes
are turned To the state that first in the
new year gives fresh utterance to its
political opinions. The election IL wear
ago i'll New Hampshire, WAS apparently,
1T first. us much of IL muddlc lis any
thing else, but in the end turned up Il
democratic victory. This was only the
full Matching of the cockatricc's egg
the labor reform party, for when the
legislature assembled it united ''hamd
and glove" with its democratic allies
SO New Hampshire WAS Il democratic
state last year. OF is 50 to-day.
The next election will hc ON the ETH
of March. There are four State tickets
in the field. The democrats have re
nominated Mr.. Weston for recollection
the republicans support +. \. Straw. of
Manchester. The labor reform party.
and also the prohibition party. have
each state ticket. Last wear there
were also four state tickets. Last year
there was no choice by the people of Il
governor. BY Il union of the opponents
of the republicans III the legislature. IL
democrat Mr.. Weston. of Manchester
was chosen governor.
1t is now Il question. around which
centres Il good deal of interest. who is
to be governor of New Hampshire the
coming year. The people of the state
are manltesting unwonted interest in
the pending issue. The treacherv of
the leaders of the Labor reform party in
uniting with the democrats in the choice
of governor last year. cannot fail of dis
gushing ii considerable portion of the
voters of that party. and in sending
them back to the republican ranks,
where they really belong. Last year
there was lack of harmony among the
republicans. Now all is harmonious.
Their candidate. Mr.. Straw. is Il good
man. ;" Is his democratic opponent.
MIR. Straw commenced life as a me-
chanic i'll one of the mills at ManchcS-
ter. He has risen to become its head.
as well as IL large owner in it. The
mechanics of New Hampshire will give
him IA hearty sote. They expect to
elect him. We expect they will do it.

The Franking Privilege.

Our readers very well know that We
have earnestly advocated the abolition
of the tramkmg privilege. We see uo
reason as Vet to change our mind. Not
that there Is no good to hc derived from
It's proper use, for there is much hut
the evil 50 ovcrhalanccS the good. that
its total abolition would h,. IL great ben
eft t" the country.
The past week we have come acros,
the following items which illustrate the
beauties of this business. 1t is the
business of the press to show up these
frauds. and let the people see the true
character of the men they send to
Washington. The first item we clip
from the Lancaster gazette:
Documents are going through the
mails of this District under the frank
of j. Benton. VI. c." which would in
dictate that they had been IL year il,
trdnSitH from Washington. us Mr. Ben
tons term of office expired. and consr-
qucntly his franking privilege. in
March. ISL. and his successor has oc-
cupled his seat since that time.
There WAS something in the post
office 1T the House of Representatives.
III Washington. the other day. for Mr..
hlnsella. editor ofthe Brooklyn (N. W
EdJte, and Democratic member of Con-
greSS from brooklyn. The package was

St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1872-03-01

Presidents friends oppose measures
which he has recommended, such as
the reform of the civil service and am
nesty. But the gentlemen have always
opposed them, and have opposed them
openly, and despite their opposition
the President urges them. 1t Is alleg-
ed that this shows the Presidents i'll
tereSt in them to he a shallow pretense.
Indeed, and when was it shown that
the will and tenacity of General Grant
were less than those of the gentlemen
who are called his friends? And what
events i'll his career justify the theory
that his action is mingled of folly and
duplicity?
| From this time to the assembling OF
! the Republican Convention the attempt
to stain the character of the President.
and to stigmatize him to the country
as unfit for another term, will he mces-
SAINT and malevolent. But he has been
in the Wilderness beforehand he came
out of it. They mistake profoundly
and perilously who suppose that the
people forget. OF that the mi>ts of cal
jimmy that gather about every Admin
istration have obScured the rcmem-
brance of the days when General Grant
was the hope of America and OF liberty.
Coming fresh from the camp to the cab
met. has he betrayed one of the great
principles of the party which lifted him
to power? Differing from many hon
orcd leaders. as they differ among them
selves. has he forgotten the emanclpa-
ted race. or the honor of the nation. OF
the welfare of the people! silent by
nature and by the conditions of his po-
Sition. has he to one honest mind seem
ed guilty of any of the foul charges that
have been thIndered against him
There will certainly he an indignant
reaction in the mind and heart of the
American people against the relentless
