THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

One of the most hopeful signs we have
interviewed since the panic in New York
threw the business of the country into
spasms, is the circular recently issued
by II. B. Claflin s. Co., of New York.
These large wholesale merchants ap-
preciate the situation, and although
their trade would be largely affected by
stagnation of business, and they have
more to lose by financial crisis than the
depositors of savings banks or the Gus
toners of Trust companies, they rather
increase than diminish their show of
confidence in the merchants in the coun-
try, and they say in a public circular
that Notwithstanding the late stringency
in monetary affairs, they will continue
to extend TO customers every facility
consistent with their business custom,
and that they intend to keep a better as
sortment of goods than ever before.
This, of course, is an advertisement, and
will be recognized as such, but the pub
lie proclamation that they intend to sell
their wares upon the same time and
terms as heretofore, and to give the same
credit, and that they entertain the same
confidence in their customers as before
the panic, tend to place the mercantile
community on certain foundation of
success, and puts them beyond the dis
astrous results of a financial panic.
Lack of confidence among business
men will invariably convert every ex-
element in finances into panic, and
such things must be expected in Wall
street SO long as the business houses of
that great financial center, are engaged
in constant gambling, thieving and i'm
moral and dishonest transactions Men
whose lives are a constant round of de-
ceit and fraud, are not supposed to have
much confidence in the integrity and
honesty of others whom they know to
live and do business in the same way. \
If we judge the motives of others by
those that actuate ourselves, we have
the authority of an ancient aphorism for
believing that our judgments viii be
righteous, and observations shows us
that, as a general rule, the man who
habitually places most reliance on the
honesty and integrity of others, is he
who has in his own heart only the best
of intentions, and whose purposes are
honest as becomes Christian and
man. Then looking at the situation
from this standpoint, we only see among
the stock and gold dealers of New York
these elements of distrust and panic,
that ourknowledge of the nature of their
business would lead us to suppose re-
sides there; but among the merchants
and business men, we see but little trem-
bling, and find a general confidence in
each other, that will carry them through
a crisis and should satisfy the people
that they are men of business integrity

THAT DEMOCRATIC .noprss

1t is amusing at timf & to see how po-
Ilticcial committees Vim put on the virtue
and concern Tor public interests, when
they are making there periodical appeals
for votes 10 carry the nominees of their
party into office. The Democratic Re-
publican State Committee, as it terms
itself, of the State of New York, has
just issued one of those characteristic
electioneering documents, for the con-
sideration of the voters of the Empire
State, and it is so full of false pretenses
and deliberate falsehood, that we cam
not refrain from calling attention to it.
In direct opposition to truth, this address
claims that the Democratic party is the
expondent and advocate of revenue re-
form, and that vote forthe Utica NOM
nations of that party, is an attempt to
prevent labor from being robbed of its
proper reward. 1t is but short time
since the New York Democracy were
represented by Tammany Hall, and the
manner in which they ruled the State
is too well known to make a
claim of revenue reform an easy imposi-
ton npon people whose memory reaches

Correspondence of the Herald
Southwestern Vermont.
WEST RUTLAND, Oct. 10, 1878.

WEST RUTLAND, Oct. 10, 1878.
Editor Rutland Herald Having oc-
casion to'visit the southwestern section
of the State, along the Harlem Exten-
sion railroad, so-called, was pleased to
notice the general thrift and enterprise in
farming and mechanical interests. From
South Wallingford to South SALISBURY
and North Bennington the enterprise OF
the inhabitants is manifest, in marble
mills and yards, showing constant ship
ments, and the lumber business at Arl-
ington shows a considerable zeal IN
bringing into the markets the vast pro-
ducts of the forests lying upon the
mountain ranges upon either side. The
shipment of charcoal also from this sec
ton amounts to several car loads each
day. The Glastonbury and Bennington
railroad renders ample facilities for the
removal of coal, wood and lumber man
ufactured upon the eastern ranges or
Glastonbury mountain.
SALISBURY is farming and manufae-
turing town of about 5000 inhabitants,
and was one of the early settled towns
in that section CT the State, and has pro-
duced as many eminent men as perhaps
any other town in the State, among
which nay be mentioned Ex-Governor
Galusl /, one of the carly governors and
repre@ ntatives to congress, DIN Briggs
and q hers the names Of whom I cannot
now recall.
Among her rising and leading men of
today .lr,, Representative Mattison, Mr..
Douglass, superintendent of. the Eagle
Square company, and DIR. Lyman Rog-
ers, Who represented the town in the leg
islature, f Vermont in 1868, during the
Burden and Parks r. r. controversy. His
urbanity, learning and thorough knOwl-
edge of the practice of medicine have
gained for him an extensive practice and
hosts of friends. .r.-.
The Eagle Square company is located
at South SALISBURY also bedstead fac
tory and blast furnace. The supply
of ore for this furnace is obtained in the
vicinity, and the charcoal, of which
several hundred bushels are used daily,
is burnedin kilns built of stone, ana Wis
ible upon the mountain lying east of the
town. A chair stuff factory is also 10

Result of the Farmers Movement.
We predicted, in the Nation, at an
early stage in this movement, the very
serious effect on the prosperity of the
West itself, which would be certain to
result, in the long run, especially if it
were encouraged by the newspapers and
other advisers, who ought to know bet
ter. The Chicago Tribune ridiculed
what we said, and did what it could to
fan the flames of the farmers discomfort
by advising as a remedy for the existing
evils the confiscation of large part of
the capital invested in the railroads.
In this same newspaper we now find
it stated that at the beginning of the
panic eight Illinois railways were engag-
ed in important works of construction,
which would have Facilitated transpor-
tation, rendered travel safer and living
cheaper" but which now cannot be car
ried out ''The Lake Shore and Michi-
gagan Central were laying double tracks,
mainly of steel, to facilitate the move
ment of our exchanges with the East
The Burlington, Rock Island, Alton and
Northwestern We're also putting down
large quantities of steel rails and per-
fecting their magnificent system of roads.
The Illinois Central was assisting the
Southern railroad association to form an
all rail route between Chicago and New
Orleans an6 cpIynpat
deavoring to.bring coal much cheaper to
Chicago 4.
Owing to the difficulty of obtaining
money, men are being discharged by the
hundred, wages will soon be cut down,
and the lab0ring classes are to be in
yolyed in much wart and misery, or, at
any rate, great immediate Distress"
The Tribune has what we must call the
extraordinary b0ldness to explain this
state of affairs by the 'Hviolent outcries"
raised by certain individuals, whom it
does not now distinctly point out,
against the corporations, and adds
that "prominent railroad men" foresaw
the crisis, but were powerless to avert
it, because. ''only the hOarse cry, Down
with monopolies. could gain the popular
ear" "Fhe multitude caught up the
shout, and, accompanying it with fierce
demonstrations, sent it across the sea,
until capitalists, who were ready and
able to advance the money the West
needs and must have for its develop
meut, shrank from touching. securities
which the ambition of demagogues
could at any moment render valueless. ;"
When a public counsellor in one month
loudly demands confscation, and the
neAG refers to it's own demand as the
s'hoarse cry of demagogue,. and to
prove it insists on the very arguments it
r;diculed a month before, we can hardly
wonder at the wild languages of those
whom he advises. N. Y. Nation.

l desire to give brief notice of an
association lately formed in st. Albans
called the Conductors Brotherhood.
The design of the organization is to ele-
yate the standing of conductors, to pro-
mote their interests and general well
fare. and merit the good opinion of the
public and railway officers generally.
Their code of principles is to eliminate
the bad and preserve the good to act in
harmony, dwell in peace, and live to do
right ever remembering in all things
both honesty and integrity. Their mot
to is perpetual Friendship" and their
rule, ''Do unto others as you would that
others should do unto you, and 50 fulfill
the law"
At the first meeting Of the organiza-
ton on Thursday evening, September
is, the following officers were elected
for the year ensuing: G. @. c., e. Bel
KNAPP; A. G. c., f, Young; K. s., M.
Downey C. s., J. Young g., Il. Doug
lass; T., E. Stockwell |. s., G. Quinn
by; O. S., n. Stoddard.
This division is one of twenty-four
now organized, they being mostly locat-
ed in the western states.
The Brotherhood of Conductors, when
first organized here, comprised fourteen
members which has since been increased
to thirty, with prospect of securing
fifty They hold meetings regularly
over the store of Shattuck i Stranahan,
where they have a room newly finished
and carpeted. The selection of Mr.. Bel
KNAPP, as Grand Chief Conductor, is an
admirable one. He is an old and expert
eneed conductor, and the right man in
the right place. 1t was mainly through
his efforts that the division was formed
in this place and for his untiring ener
gy, and devotion in promoting their wei
fare, he has won their (the conductors)
sincere thanks. -,.,.s Com.

hogany comes from Honduras, in the
shape of squared logs, which are cut
into thin boards for veneering after
reaching the United States and European
markets. The cutting of the trees and
squaring the logs is done by the natives,
in parties of thirty or forty, the work
beginning in August and continuing I'M
til the last of December. The trees are
cut some ten or twelve feet above the
ground, stages being erected for the pur-

A PETITION was circulated among the
members of the bar, at the Court House
on Saturday, asking the Governor to
pardon Catherine Ready, who is serving
three months sentence in jail for a
third conviction of selling intoxicating
liquors. The petition recited that the
prisoner is poor Irish woman with a
large family depending upon her for
support, and that she was convicted, SEN
fenced and imprisoned for an offence
which is openly and publicly commit
ted daily in elegant hotels and saloons,
apparently with the public approval, and
that such a discrimination against the
poor and helpless is digrace to our
State and people, and tend to bring our
laws into contempt. This petition was
gene rally signed, and undoubtedly the
Governor will act upon it, as it is a
standing disgrace to the State that we
have law to be enforced against the
poor and weak, while the rich and power
full are not only daily violating its pro-
visions with impunity, but with the
sanction and approval of the community.
We heard Of but one man who refused
to sign the petition, and he based his re-
fusal on the ground that it was not true
that the community approvedof the yio-
lation of the law by the wealthy and in
duential but most everybody had heard
of A. ]. Smith, and they knew that the
petition was every word true, and the
disgraceful record goes into the archives
of the Executive department to stand
forever as a proof of our humiliation as
people.

1t is not possible to yet say that money
is easy in the country, althoughthe strin-
gency of the market has somewhat
abated, but there Is buoyancy in bust
ness circles that fortnight ago was not
expected. The currency necessary to
move the crops had been sent westward
before the panic, and it will soon return
to the East in the natural course of trade.
Checks and drafts will pass from hand
to hand and the negotiable paper
of merchants and business men of
established reputation, will be again as
current as before the suspension of Jay
Cooke & Co. deranged the finances of
Wall street, and the prospects of business
stagnBtien that many predicted when
they received news of the crash, will
probably be averted this winter, and we
may hope for season of unparalleled
prosperity in the near future.
On Friday last, in New York, the sales
of gold ran down to 1913 for greenbaeks,
being the lowest difference between gold
and grcenbacks since the close of the
war in 1865. This running down of the
price of gold, would seem to be putting
the problem OF our finances in a condi-
ton for Immediate solution, by a. re-
sumption of specie payment. Congress
meets in about seven weeks, and the
country will be anxiously watching that
body to see whether wisdom shall pre-
vail in its counsels, or whether it will
tighten the grip of the gamblers and
monopolists upon the finances of the
country. There are many millions Of
coin, gold and silver, boarded up. in
vaults, trunks and old stockings, because
it is too valuable to circulate by the side
of protested paper promises. A. resump-
ton would bring this forth, when it could
be added TO the circulating medium
prices would at once settle onto a steady
basis the occupation of the cormorants
of the gold exchange would be gone, and
one great cause of business arrangement
would be wiped out. We believe that
the only things that Congress can do to
| help the country is to do nothing except
| to remove all restrictions on free bank
ing, except the checks necessary to make
it secure, and return to specie payment.
If capital was at liberty to seek employ
ment in banking, and was required
to have coin basis, the question
of currency would adjust itself. Nobody
would want gold dollar if they could
have paper one worth just as much,
and all that is needed to make people
satisfied and contented with paper money
| is knowledge that they can have coin
for it. Give us a free banking system
and specie payment, and our country is
on the high road to prosperity never
dreamed of quarter of a century ago.
