Feels Bad About 1t.

In the VERMONT FARMER of July 3, among
the locals, is n comparison Of tho prices ut
which several articles of goods are sold in
st. Johnsbury and in outside towns, and the
question asked "Why il is SOP"
In conversation with some of the trade on
Railroad Street we leaIn that the editor OF
said paper had felt Of late that his neighbors
were not patronizing him sufficiently by way
Of advertising, and after oxhausting his good
nature to induce them to advertise with him,
he upon several occasions n short time since
remarked that he should give price list in
his paper that would bring prices down In
st. Johnsbury.
Wo arc informed further that part OF his
prices obtained from outside of st. Johns
bury, were from party professcdly selling
his stock at cost and less, and intending to
move to st. Johnsbury and engage in the dry
goods trade, and the prices of some from.
parties who make other than staple dry
goods their trade, and who sell these staple
goods quoted by the FARMER at cost for Of
feet, preferring that way to advertise rather
than the columns Of the FARMER.
The prices obtained In st. Johnsbury were
the prices Of seasonable goods which are
kept in good stock, and were honest prices.
To any one acquainted with tho jobbing
price of goods the absurdity of tho item in
the FARMER is apparent, and the ignorance
OF the manager Of the paper professedly aim
ing to build up the interests Of It's own town
cannot be mistaken.
Let us ask the public question; Are the
merchants Of our country under obligation to

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

the decision of the supreme court on the
question OF the railroad law in Wisconsin
is one Of peculiar significance. The rail.
roads have been having things pretty much
their own way heretofore, and have done
actual injustice to the producers of the
West with impunity. The people, having
borne this injustice until patience ceased to
be virtue, have risen in their might and
elected legislators who were not under the
control of these corporations, and laws have
been passed fixing the maximum rates which
may be charged by the roads. This was all
natural enough, and if the figures we're
made too low the lawmakers of the state,
if convinced Of the fact, would have been
ready to change them to a just standard.
But the railroads in their mighty power
and dignity were not going to stoop to ask
hearing at the hands Of a state Legislature
They had acquired their charter and the
right to exist from that legislature, but now
they had concentrated money, which sis
power" and considered themselves superior
to such body. So they deny the power of
the state to regulate their tariffs, because,
forsooth, that power might be so used as to
work injustice. They refused to obey the
law because they claimed under it they
coule not conduct their business proGtably.
The idea that the previous Jaws were uu-
constitutional because under them the West
ern farmer could not make decent living,
strangely enough, had not occurred to them.
Their first attempt was to Brighten the
state Of Wisconsin, and to this end they pro-
cured lengthy decisions from a couple of
wise judges in the East to the effect that the
law was unconstitutional But Wisconsin
didn't scare worth a cent, and now Uncle
Sans circuit court says she has right
to regulate corporations of her own creation
as she sees fit. One of the best dailies in
New England comments upon it as follows
For the moment the railroads must under
stand that they are subject unto their crea-
tor. OF course there is great buster about
IL In Wall street, but there is no real danger
of a substantial depreciation in any Of the
sound stocks and bonds. The western peo-
pie know enough not to kill the goose that
has laid the golden eggs, but they don't pro-
pose to have her ranging around quite SO
free among the cabbages.

THAT LIST OF PRICES.

/
In another column we publish letter
from business man Of St. Johnsbury who
feels aggrieved at the list Of prices here and
outside Of the village which we published
last week, at which we are not at all sur.
priscd considering the large difference there
IN shown in favor Of buying outside. The
charge made that the list Of prices was pub
lished out Of spite because parties here
would not advertise il false We have
asked parties 10 advertise in the FARMER,
and we suppose VIC have right SO to do,
aud they have perfect right to advertise
or not, as they see ct, and we are not in the
least inclined to bulky them into so doing !;
neither are we likely to be frightened by
the bullying threats of few merchants and
influential men into silence when we believe
the interests Of our subscribers can be best
subserved by speaking out.
The VERMONT FARMER is not Obliged to
bow and cringe before business men or cor.
porations for their patronage. Our subscrip-
ton list is second TO but one weekly in the
state, in numbers, and is steadily increasing,
and VIC are Of the opinion that our subscrib.
ers will appreciate our efforts to give them
an honest paper, and to cain to build up"
our own town by building up the legitimate
business OF the whole state, aud not by GOV.
ering up facts and helping some one to mo.
nopolize trade at extortionate prices. This
year OF grace 1874 is pretty good one in
which to tell the truth, and it seems TO be a
rather unsuccessful one for monopoly, com.
bined oppression, and corruption generally.
Thsprices given we're all procured from
one firm who make their living by dealing
in the class of goods quoted, aud they were
"honest prices" the prices at which they
sell to all their customers, and furthermore
the goods were "seasonable goods, kept in
good stock" and kept by firm who do as
large business as any one on Railroad
Street, aud who say they make their bus.
mess pay.
As for the intimation regarding our pro.
Tossing to build up the interests of our own
town. We do profess to aim to do so as far
as honesty will go, but we do not feel dis.
posed to suppress the truth for the purpose
Of drawing trade to St. Johnsbury.
If those who are in business here cannot
sell goods as cheaply as outsiders, they had
better 60 to work in the shops or on the
farm, and let the business be done by those
who can.
In conclusion we would respectfully sug-
gest to them that if they were to charge
smaller profit or their goods, perhaps they
might draw more trade from outside of the
village, from parties who now 90 to other
places to trade, and find it pays. But of
course we don't expect any such thing will
be done.

The Lawyers and the Newspapers.

a second reading Of Judge Poland's let.
ter has only confirmed our original impres
sion. II is not the sort of letter which 81
distinguished legislator and lawyer should
be found writing. We recognize and appre.
ciate the exigencies of his position but Il is
a position Of his own making 1t is to be
! hoped the lesson will not be thrown away
upon him. IL must be very unpleasant
experience to be vindictating your character
at the expense of your reputation.
That is about what il seems TO come TO in
Judge Polands case. If he acted in good
faith and without any Interior design. as he
now claims he did, then the conclusion ap
pears to be inevitable that he acted lingo
rantly and rashly that, in matter of more
than ordinary importance one of the ablest
lawyers Of the House, leading member of
its law committee, was compelled to Ego il
blind" for the lack Of information which il
was his business to possess. He ought to
have known, If he did not, how flimsy and
deceptive were the reasons adduced for the
proposed legislation. He ought to have
known, if he did not, what possibilities of in.
justice were concealed in it, and to what
base uses it could be put. We don't know
why the lawmakers, as we'll as law.breakers,
should not be presumed to intend the nat.
ural consequences of their acts.
We are not asking for privileges" for the
press. We don't like the word, and are
careful not to use it. If newspaper will.
fully libels man, it ought to smart for it,
and the law ought to see to il that it does.
The aggrieved party in such cases ought to
have ready to his hand much quicker,
easier, cheaper, more effectual remedy than
our courts at present afford him; we hope
the day is not far distant when such prompt
and satisfactory redress will be provid.
ed. But, on the other hand, if the newspa
pers do not have privileges" they have
rights which even the bench and bar are
bound to respect, and which the public is
vitality interested in having respected. One
ofthese rights we take to be protection against
malicious libel suits brought by vindictive
jobbers, bafiled public plunderers or ruffled
small politicians by way of "getting even"

A LESSON.

There is lesson to be learned from the
republican county convention here last week,
and we think there are some who learn il
who wish il were different. IL isfa lesson
which is to be repeated not only in this con-
gressional district but all over the state. 1t
has already been seen in portions Of the
West, and the leaven which is working in
some parts of this great Union will slowly
but all the more surely leaven the whole
lump. The farmers are paking up, aud
The temperance cause mOUes ONWARD.
Such convention as that of Friday was
never known in Caledonia County before.
Every town was fully represented, and Of
tho 6S members Of the nominating commit
tee not less than forty or fifty were farmers.
Fears had been expressed by some that on
account of the convention being called the
day before the farmers picnic at this place
they would be but lightly represented, but
the suspicion Of an attempt to quietly run
the convention and nominations without them
called them out in such numbers as "aston-
ished the natives" and swept everything be-
fore them, and the result is summed up in the
expression Of an old farmer who said II was
"the ceanest ticket ever presented in Gale.
donia County"
The nominations were announced last
week in only a portion of our issue, about
half of the papers having been printed be-
fore we received them, so we reprint them
this week
Senators, Chas. Rogers, Jr., Wheelock
Rev. p: N. Granger, Peacham. As
sistant judges, John Bacon ID, st. Johns
bury; A. o. Harris, Lyndon. States
attorney, w. z. Smith, St. Johnsbury.

vile. High baiia, Isaac X. Kenastou,
Sheffield. County committee, Geo. Ide,
Lyndon; Il. l.. Hovey, st. Johnsbury; j.

II this can be taken as any indication of
the course affairs will take in the nomina-
tiOn of congressman, and we are inclined to
believe it can, Col. Mead, should his name
come before the convention, will go in with
a rush. The farmers and all those who do
the work aud pay the taxes are as wide
awake in other parts of the state as in Gale
donia County, and those classes are getting
an unusual land to some individuals disa-
greeable) habit of coming out to the primary
meetings where matters political are fixed"
and "meddling with their own business" 10
Franklin County the recent nomination of
Col. Clarke and the anti.railroad. ring ticket
is another indication of the presence of the
same spirit.
