The Union happened TO have
charity and common sense enough TO Judge
correctly the first time. The
fdrmer repents and in the same breath
critlcizes us for not committing the same
mistake II did. After the Farmer acquires
q little age and experience 1t will discover
that common sense isn't bad thing to have
even IN the newspaper business - Union.
There; the Union has common sense for
Chase says 50. The Unions common sense
led it to Judge correctly the first time"
while Judge Peck's lack Of common sense
led him into grave mistake. It is pity
Peck couldn't have had the benefit Of a little
Of the light which emanates from that Lyn-
don sanctum to aid him in the darkness in
which he CROPPED. The Union says there
is principal in law aud common sense "
which the FARMER forgot" We admit the
Union is governed good deal more by prin-
cipdl than by principle, but didn't suppose
Chase would claim any special credit on that
score. He has money at interest, SO he can
kick Judge Poland, if he is bank president,
without the least fear, but a rich man or
firm, who advertises literally, gets altogether
different treatment at his hands.

Some Of the state papers are loudly urg-
ing the state treasurer and the trustees Of
the reform school to step over the bounds Of
their authority and proceed at once to re-
build the reform school building without the
action of the legislature. The argument in
favor Of it is that the building is sure to be
built when the legislature does take action
upon the matter, and this course would save
the state the expense of the extra session.
Most Of these papers favored the paying Of
$4,000 in excess of the contract price to
Julian Scott for his great war picture, be-
cause Gov. Converse had without authority
encouraged Mr.. Scott to expect $4,000 for
the picture which the legislature had agreed
to take at $4,000. We protest against this
manner of doing business. There is alto
gether too much disregard of the laws in our
state. 1t is bad enough to know that in
parts Of the state the liquor law, fish and
game laws, and various others, are allowed
to be openly violated with impunity,
without encouraging the using of the money
of the state in an illegal manner. Vermont
is not pauper state. While our people are
in favor of economy aud irugality, the ma
jority of them have a respect for law, and do
not want to see 50 dangerous precedent es-
tablished as that Of the appropriation of
funds without legal authority established on
the false plea of economy. Why not abolish
the legislature altogether and leave the rum
ming Of our political machinery to one or
two menR That would save expense.
Since the above was in type we learn that
the governor has called an extra session,
which will meet Wednesday, Jan. ID.

1925 Our apples were not all spoken for.
and the outsiders Jeanne and paid us 1915
rather than buy Of the dealers, and we had
no trouble in disposing of our surplus mt
short meter.
We tried to deal with Messrs Arms and
IIaines for our apples, but could do nothing
with them. When we first organized we
bought few barrels Of -four of thom which
cost us $075 by what they call wholesale,
and then we sent right away for car load
which cost the Patrons $500, and il was
better flour at that. A PATRON.

According to programme papers that are
paid for up to January l, 1875, and no fur
ther, will be discontinued after this number.
Taken all in all we believe the system of
advance payments, and stopping when the
time paid for has expired, is decidedly the
BEST yet it has its Disadvantages. Almost
every one will say that that is the kind Of
paper he wants, but almost before he knows
it he may give his preference for the credit
paper, and he does it by neglecting to stop
the credit paper at the proper time aud to
renew for the cash paper. Such action has
a tendency to drive all papers off from the
cash system ant. into the credit system.
The publishers are sometimes blamed for
running paper on the credit system, but
the true fault is with the public. Let the
public demand that all papers shall be cash
papers, by patronizing no others, and the
time will be short indeed before all papers
will adopt the cash system. One result Of
that may be that there will be less papers,
but there will DO better ones.

Editor of Ms Fdr1ner:

Editor Of The Farmer:
l notice an item in the FARMER this week
in regard TO the flour and apple trade at
Waterbury, and the Patrons losing 25 cents
per barrel on -four. / can say this: we are
perfectly satisfied with our flour trade and
have used enough of 1t so we ought to know
something of tho quality. Arms and Haines
are Mt Waterbury and tho Patrons have
dealt with them some, and If there had been
such chance for saving as they claim we
should have been very apt to deal with them
rather than send away tor our flour. The
Patrons have sold several barrels to out
slders, and they say II Is the best -four they
have had and they saved 81 on every barrel
they bought of the Patrons. The trouble
with the merchants is we have got the in
side track with II good, responsible firm that
are doing business with us on tho square
every time, and when the Patrons at Water
bury get out OF -four they know just where
to go for more
So much for the floIT trade. II don't know
but they told the apple business about us it
was, for their apples come early and the
agent of a certain grange bought them. but
when we got ready for apples they cost us
more. However, we could not buy of the
dealers by the barrel for less than 50 and

pulSs was to nudge him and tell
him al about it, but he remem-

quite high enough, and conse-
qusntly, in his nervousness, he hit
old Collamoire' quite q severe blow.
The old gentleman turned round in
rage to see who dared take such q
liberty with him, and Hof began to
explain, with gestures, the cause Of
the occurrence. But Collamore, in
. loud voice, demanded what it
msar'' Il was very painful to Hof:
The eyes Of the congregation were

ooagFsgation smiled and the per-
spifrstion began to roll off his face.
"'Osrtainly It's WIDER" said Cola
