ing TO one or the other party grief or bank
ruptcy. Merchants will no longer fear that
the gains of one month will be swallowed up
by the losses of the next Manufacturers
will buy their raw material and sell their
goods by the same standard. Ships that es-
capped disaster at sea will not be overtaken
by disasters hardly less perilous upon their
return home, from changes in the standard
value of money. The industries of the coun-
try, responding to stable reward, it is to be
hoped, will have all joints fabricated and all
energies in full play.
The great barometer of the money market
in our country is located unquestionably at
New York. Here the daily transactions,
second in magnitude only to those of Lon
don, show the exchangeable value of money
and the current rate of usance. The latter
has been and now is far below that authorized
by laws of the State. The average rate of
interest since 1875 for commercial paper hav-
ing been but q fraction over five per cent
and about three per cent. on call loans, it
would seem that it was not more money that
was demanded so much as greater faith in the
stability of financial affairs and in the wis
dom OF future congressional Legislation, which
it is to be feared must always be more or less
a disturbing element. 1t is the unsteadiness
at the helm which shipwrecks so much of
American enterprise and makes remunera-
tive, permanent investments almost an i'm
possibility.

future productive power it has IN store is

put that power at work, and with the stimu-
lus of more certain and higher rewards, to
encourage every idle dollar to come forth, to
take its life in hand and risk it somewhere
by putting all of the great forces of human

beneiicent result? But are Senators quite
sure of promoting this object. or of securing
even much local welfare by needlessly pro-
voking a feud between capital and labor, OF
by red-hot-poker rhetoric denunciatory OF
sections accused of wickedly holding some

THE FRANKLIN COUNTY BOLT

To the Eaitor OF the Fr ee Press and Times:
In regard to the Barlow bolt, it may be
we'll to let the feeling Of this section and
county be known more clearly than it is
expressed by the frequent epistles Of a few
Bsrlowites, through the columns of the
Messenger. We in this vicinity had sup
posed there was more enthusiasm in Frank
lin county than Saturdays convection at
St. Adams indicates. Our people are sur
prised that, notwithstanding the free rides
and cheap excursions. the noteworthy
generosity OF the Southeastern-of which
Barlow is president-snd the substantial
fayors of the Central Vermont; that
although the hurrah was held in the capt.
tai of Barlow's dominions amid the pathetic
strains of half q dozen brass bands and sur
rounded by tempting bait Of "loaves and
fishes" the "faithfuls" of the St. Adams
candidate to the rousing number of only
ten or fifteen hundred, about two-thirds Of
whom were eIcursionists come "to see how
they do it, assembled to do homage to
their chief. We arc informed that many
more would have been glad to have gone
for the ride, but said they were ASHAMED
to be found in such company" The list
of officers with which Orleans is honored
implies that the representatives from this
county were not hatteringly numerous and
that what there were made pretty hard
picking. The St. Adams Advertiser states
that, after Barlow's nomination, "Orleans
county gave three cheers for Barlow!
What an exalted idea of our county they
must entertain at St. Adams What an
elastic imagination the Advertiser must
possess Every one We have seen, and
some Of them are Barlow men. came homo

of Orleans county in her nominee. |.

GLOVER. Aug. ~, 1878.
To the Editor OF the Free Press and Times:
And so Barlow has bolted. 1t seems that
in the minds of his supporters there is
about tho Same degree of Inherent wicked
ness in red ballots a. tho bull evidently
sees in scarlet rag and when the bottom
is reached there is full as much common
sense displayed by the bull as by the St. AL
bans boilers. Moreover, if it was proven
(Which it was not) that somebody-not nee
essarily friend Of Gen. Grout, but any
body from anywhere-said that if Mr.. Bar
low was nominated (which is not reality,
there might, could, pould, should or ought
to be q bolt, this was another all-sufhcieht
reason. founded upon rock, wherefore
bolt was justifable. Surprising some one
to have said this, how does Col. Albert
Clarke know but it was an exclamation
prompted by some sudden and thoughtless
impulse such as he says impelled him to movo
the unanimous nomination OF Gen. Circuit?
Or how can he tell whether this man, if
it be q fact, acted with any more au-
taority from Gen. CIRCUITS friends than did
be himself from Mr.. Barlow's. in making
that motion? Judge not that ye be not
Judged" Scores OF Barlow men who voted
for him in the caucuses are declaring that
this last straw of perfdy breaks the camePs
back, and they shall vote for Circuit. They
are actually ashamed to have folks know
they were Barlow men. Advices from st.
Adams Indicate that the gentleman from
North Troy" who informed the Messenger
that the attendance from the north end oil
Orleans county, would reach into tho
hundreds" was sadly mistaken. The ex-
explanation is that NJ. T. Hatch went to the
Essex Junction Convention and we all ad-
nit that Hatch is host in himself The
Greenback Club at North Troy is dying
painful death. and soon tho noble editor OF

The St. Adams Messenger says it was Mr. {.
Blrlow's ''yiews on the most vital questions
of the times" which, "far more than any
considerations growing out of the recent
canvass brought out the hundreds who
care nothing for politics and politicians
who formed the St. Adams Convention.
This is very significant admission. 1t is
admitting, lin effect. that the boiling conven-
ton was Greenback and not Republican
gathering.
The views on vital questions" are, Of
course, Mr.. Barlow's financial yiews-views
which he had not the manliness to avow, but
kept carefully in the background, while he
was seeking the Republican nomination.
Those views were in favor Of the issue of a
thousand millions in greenbacks. Green
backs were then at q discount of over %
per cent, and to advocate tremendous iaal-
ton, by sach an issue Of paper, was to advo-
cate further heavy reduction in the value

ing of in greenbacks the fve-twenty bonds,
which the Treasury had promised should be
paid in gold. This was reputation of SO
much of the public debt. lie was in favor
of permitting every holder of over thou
sand dollars in grecnbacks to loan them to
the Government on call, and of compelling
the Government to receive them. and pay
FIVE per cent on them measure which it
is plain to see would have forever postponed
all hope Of negotiating the four and four
and half per cent loans, in which the
Goyernnent is now funding the public
debt, and measure which would have given
the p1ssessor Of thousands an important
advantage over the possessor Of hundreds,
in the way OF opportunity to invest his
money The men who ''care nothing for
politics" and who endorse such foolish and
reckless aud dishonest financial views" as
thee. are, fortunately. very few in Vermont.

A Race OF Migrants.

The countless dogs of Constantinople
are under the protection of the general
public, but, being pronounced unclean
animals by the Koran, are not allowed
to enter the Turkish houses, and are con-
sequently without masters: They, there
fore form a great free vagabond republic,
collarless, nameless, houseless, and law
less. The street is their abode; there
they dig little dens, where they sleep,
eat, are born, brought up, and die; and
no one, at least in Stamboul, ever thinks
of disturbing their occupation or their
repose. They are masters of the public
highways. In our cities it is the dog that
makes. way for the horseman or foot
passengers. There it is the people, the
horses, the camels, the donkeys, that
ma ke way for the dogs. They are lazy
animals, and sleep most of the time :;
neither rain, snow, heat nor cold disturbs
them. They wake wheu they are hung
ry, not before, and sleep almost always
in the same spots. The canine popula.
ton is divided in quarters or wards.
Every quarter, every street is inhabited
or rather possessed by certain number
OF dogs, who never go away from it, and
never allow strangers to reside in it
They exercise sort of service of police

many oil their number are reduced to a
