THE VERMONT FARMER. /"

We do not intend to make practice Of
occupying our reading space in talking about
the FARMER; every reader is supposed TO be
competent to tell whether paper suits him
without asking the publisher to enlighten him.
We have heard intimatons that the FARMER
was becoming local or news paper at the
expense Of its agricultural feature, because
We have endcavored to give good resume
Of the news of the week, both within and
out of the state. Perhaps somebody thinks
that it is becoming religious paper because
We have secured special editor for tho re-
ligious department and given an assortment
Of 6rst-class religious reading. May be
some one thinks it is becoming an advertis-
ing sheet because we have admitted the ad-
vertiscments Of few of the best business
firms to our columns.
Now if there has been life enough infused
into our local department to bring it into
moro prominence, VIC are glad Of it, and
shall endoavor to continue TO improve, be-
lieving that the moro news of tho day we
can give, without encrOaching on the space
allotted to our speciality, agriculture, the
better will our readers like their paper.
Our aim is to print live agricultural
newspaper such ono as is wanted by the
farmers Of Vermont, and 10 this end We ask
our readers to continue TO cooperate with us
by sending us practical articles whenever
convenient. We shall endeavor at the same
time to keep our patrons posted upon those
questions of national economy which concern
the people,-those who do the work
Of the 'world,-such as the present
farmers movement in tho West, the great
question Of transportation from the vast
farming regions on the prairies, international
commercial relations, go. The FARMER Is
not republican paper, nor a democratic
paper, in the sense of political partizanship,
but is free to extol or condemn, as occasion
may require, the action Of all parties, and
will endeavor to advance the cause of the
laboring classes, who constitute the majority
and, under our constitution, ought to rule.
The fact that our subscription list is rapidly
increasing, as well as the cheering letters Of
approval which come from subscribers in all
parts of the state, lead us to believe that
our efforts are duly appreciated, and that
the farmers of this state will heartily sup.
port paper devoted to their interests.

And now, Mr.. President, let me say that
there can be no solution of this question Of
obtaining higher prices for agricultural prod
ucts by any scheme of cheaper Transports
ton. Tho whole transportation must be
avoided. New states without manufactures,
distant from markets, cannot overcome the
losses of the transportation account. II will
always be drawback. mean that they
cannot by any new scheme Of transportation
secure much cheaper rates than those now
prevailing, and if it could be done the pro-
Queer would not reap all tho profits, as the
produce would be sold at a less price. Tho
difficulty can only DO overcome by prog.
ress and by the increased growth Of manu-
factories. If gentlemen in the West will
turn their attention TO that subject and es-
tablish manufactures, SO that they will con-
sumo tho bread and meat at the door, max
ing the consumer the neighbor Of the producer,
thon there will be solution of the question,
and not till then. The grain-selling states arc
rapidly receding westward. Illinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa. aud Missouri will soon furnish a
market at home for all they produce.
In relation to railroads, | have 4 convic-
tion with the senator from Illinois Mr.
OgleSbyl, that scheme for freight railroads
alone would somewhat cheaper freights and
yet do not desire that the government Of
the United States itself should embark in
the railroad business. / should be perfectly
willing to grant charter, but | would not
have the government undertake TO furnish
capital TO run the road, because as whole
the railroads of the country are Improbable
even when managed by private enterprise
| suppose that to-day, If the matter was ex
amined, it would be found that three-fourthi
of all the railroads of the country are non
paying investments. They are vastly ii
debt, many of them crippled, and very few
except eastern and western roads in fortunate

we have heretofore printed the FARMER
Thursday, though dated Friday, but the in
creased mailing facilities have made it posi-
bic to print one day later, thus giving one
more days news, and at the same time reach
nearly all our subscribers by Saturday, and
large number of thOm on Friday. Be-
lieving that we can make our paper more
acceptable to It's readers by the change, We
have decided to print Friday, commencing
next week.

RECIPROCITY AND TIE CAuGH
NAvNAGA CANAL.

Some Of the papers arc coming out in
force against the proposed reciprocity treaty
with Canada, while others sec in it much
that is desirable. For our own part, We
cannot sec wherein it can result in any very
dire caamities to Vermont farmers. The
st. Adams Advertiser sees no gains for
, Vermont to be had from the facilities for
transportation from the West which are to
be conceded on the part Of Canada by the
treaty, and says:
We give tho grangers who recently passed
resolutions at Montpelier in favor OF cheap
transportation from the West credit for
large public spirit, but small sense OF their
private interests as Vermont farmers. for
CHEAP TRANSFORMATION from the West docs not
mean money IN the Vermont farmers pock-
ct, however it may BIO with his Western conf
patriot.
The strongest objection, at least the one
upon which tho most stress seems to be laid,
is that the producing interests of Maine,
New Hampshire, and Vermont will be pref
udicially affected by admitting Canada to
an unrestricted competition in the markets
of Massachusetts and New York.
Now we do not think the people Of Yer
mont are narrow-minded enough to want a
special protection at the expense of their
brethren in the West on the selfish policy Of
keeping up freights by refusing to cooperate
with our neighbOr country in the proposed
improvements of water-lines. The COM
petition of Canada in the matter of farm
products is not going to affect us to any ap-
probable extent. Great as are her products,
they are but drop in bucket compared
to the amount swallowed up by our large
markets. Her butter will never affect our
market, for good article Of butter Is al
ways in demand, and the time docs not ap-
pear to be near when it will not be. Her live
stock will stand as a cipher compared with
the stream coming from the West. Cheese
goes to instead of coming from Canada,
though it is true cheese factories arc now
rapidly springing up there, especially in the
province Of Ontario. The lumber interest
may suffer from return to free trade.
When the former treaty went into force
lumber firms all around failed, and perhaps a
provision might be made which would defer
the taking effect at least of this clause in the
treaty long enough to allow dealers to with
draw their capital from the business
our forests are disappearing altogt 100
fast, and if Canada can como to the rescue
by furnishing our builders and manufacture
ers with lumber cheaper than we can do it
ourselves, let her do it. Our forests will
keep, and higher prices even than the pres
ent will prevail some time, though CanadH
puts prices down for the present. The Of
feet of the free admission of Nova Scotia
coal will be to keep prices of that article on
a surer basis, and check the ombinatil
among the mining corporations Of y
try which have at times beell
10 consumers.

APRIL 1, Gov Stafford pardoned Adam Wiley-who had been sentenced to serve three years in the penitentiary for man. slaughter. He was convicted of this of fense in Mohave county and had served about one year. In consideration of his previous good character and unexceptIon- able conduct in confinement, Judge Porter before whom he was tried and by whom sentenced, and nearly all the lead ing citizens and officers of Mohave and Yuma counties petitioned the Governor to grant the pardon.

LIEUT.. WARD and command with Lieut.. Poillon and several citizens of the Gila came into Florence a week ago last Thurs day from a scout in the Pinal mountains. They report finding an encampment re- gently occupied by the Apaches located in a very secluded and difficult place of ac- cess where there were about 800 wickeups They afterwards found the Apaches in strong force, and in Q most difficult place of access. It was not thought prudent to attack them with the small force under Lieut.. Wards command, and the object Of again visiting the Gila was to get more re- Inducements, and we believe number more citizens and some Pima Indians joined the command. They have return ed to the Pinal mountains to endeavor to dislodge the Apaches from their strong hold.

J.D. CUsENBERY has recently arrived in the Territory for the purpose Of com promising with the creditors Of the Vul- ture mine, upon the basis of paying 2O per cent. of the indebtedness. We believe the creditors are willing to compromise on these terms. Mr. Cusenbery says that the money is on deposit to not only pay the creditors but put the mine in flr5t-class working shape. The capital will be ad vanced by English capitalists and 1t is their intention to convey water to the mine or build a narrow guage railroad from the mine to water, and add to the 4O-stamp mill already erected to more stamps. There is ore enough in sight to run a hundred-stamp mill for years that will pay largely when these improvements are made. Smith and Taylor, who are working on one end of the V4lture mine, are constantly running out a yellow stream of gold which is enriching them and making all about them happy.

AN assay of something less than S3,000 per ton was made at Yuma a short time ago and published in the papers without any definite information as to where the ore came from. It is said by those who ought to know that the ore was taken from a mountain heretofore uneXplOred and that when the discoverers make all the locations they desire and get them secured, they will open up to the public gaze @ mining district that will cause as big an excitement as did the famous Comstock in '59. If it is genuine it cannot come too soon.
 JAS A. MOORE arrived this morning from Maricopa Wells, and says that the mine from which an assay of S2200, was made, and is referred to elsewhere, is lOcat- ed about 40 miles south from MaricOpa Wells. The discovery was made by Pat Morgan, an old prospector, with whom we have climbed many a mountain and des- cended many a deep gorge. The noun tain where the discovery was made is call ed Morgan mountain in honor of the dis coverer. MT. Moore says he has been at the mine and that it is bound to create such an excitement in Arizona as we have not before seen. We hope to be able to give full particulars next week.
