The scream of the civil service re-

the dear people were far better than

was imposed upon by cunning fellows,
That vice made nominations when vir-

The Republican District Couven-
ton which was held at Hyde Park
last Wednesday, was probably one of
the most interesting ones ever held in
the State. Upon the eighth ballot,
Gen. w. w, Circuit Of Barton. was
nominated. AS our readers very well
know, he was not our choice, but he
won the victory, and made an excel
lent fight, and now We propose to bury
the Ratchet of discomfort, and do all
in our power to secure Mr.. Grout an
overwhelming majority next Septem.
Der. Mr.. Clarke of st. Adams, tho
man who presented the name Of Mr.
Barlow in the Convention, was the
first man, on learning the result O
the eighth ballet, to make the motion
to make the nomination unanimous
which was done amid deafcnins
cheers. After the Convention adj
journed, Mr.. Grout received the con
CALCULATIONS of his friends, among
whom, was Mr.. Barlow. Surely Mr.
G,out has fought cool fight, and
will doubtless DO honor to the Distric
and himself in Congress. Let US al
go to the polls next September, ant
elect Mr.. Grout by one of Vermont
old time majorities, and show that al
animosities and sectional preference
were buried at the convention.
The campaign has been hot one
aud great many hard things hav
been said by a great many of til
papers Of the district; but the time
for quarrelling is past, and it i
our duty as Republicans, to do GU
level best for the choice of the con
vcntior. With charity for all, an
malice toward none, let us do on
duty as district, as u county, and a
a community. The ability of al
Grout is beyond a reflection; as
citizen he is one of the best, an emil
ent and able legal adviser and advt
cate, and VIC have every reason t
expect, that, as a legislator, he will |
one that the third district of Vernon
may well be proud Of.

What Becomes Of Wealth.

A boot and shoe dealer was hanging in
his store pair of boots worth seven dollars.
They constitute part of his wealth, and
portion of the wealth of the world. A man
buys them and begins to wear them; by
friction against the pavement little particles
of the leather are rubbed off, and thus sepa
rated from the rest of the sole. Every par
ticle that is thus removed takes portion of
the value of the boots, and when the boots
are entirely worn out, the seven dollars of
wealth which they formed is consumed.
The wheat, corn, ETC., which was raised by
our farmers last summer is being eaten up.
No particle OF matter is destroyed by this
process, but the value which was in the grain
is destroyed. As while men are wearing
out clothing and eating up food, they are
generally bu'ily employed producing wealth
of some kind the wealth of the world is
not usually diminished by the consumption,
but it is changed. This applies, however,
only to personal properiy town lots and
farms generally retain their value, but per-
sonal property is subject to perpetual de-
struction and renewal. As the several par
ticles of water which constitute river are
forever rolling away to the ocean, while
their places are being supplied from the
springs and fountains, so the movable wealth
of the world is constantly being consumed
10 crafty human wants, and constantly be-
inp renewed nv the restless activity of I'm.
man industry.

An exchange. in demonstrating that p,

An exchange, in demonstrating that pa
per money robs the farming class most Of
all, says With initiation the prices of nearly
all articles Immediately rise, but wages for
work and the products of agriculture are
the last to change. The reason of this is
evident The price of wages is slow to rise
on account Of the necessity of the employer
to indemnify himself for the losses that in
evitably accompany fluctuating medium.
The reason why the prices of agricultural
products are slow to rise is that a large part
of every crop is exported to Europe, and the
foreign gold price largely determines the
quotations for the whole crop. The price
of wheat is generally fixed at New York
city, where it is regulated by the European
demand. The gold price in Liverpool fixes
the price in New York, and this in turn reg
ulates the market at other points. In the
constant change of the price of gold there
is great loss, the whole OF which falls upon
the producer. Professor Perry, in writing
on this subject, says that if the premium
on gold, in consequence of the use of a de-
preciated currency, were as high as the aver
age rise of prices arising from that depreci-
alton, it would not be so UNJUST but it never
is. Gold is generally the cheapest thing
a-going, so soon as an inferior currency has
demonetzed it and thrown it out of demands;
aud the whole consequence to the farmers
of the use Of such money is, that they
have to pay great deal more for all that
they need to buy aud only get very little
money or nothing at all for all that they
have to SELL" This writer also asserts that
"wheat was no higher in currency in 1878
than it was in gold in 1865; hams were not !;
land was not, and salt pork was not" All
such products fail to rise in proportion dur
ing a period OF imitation. 1t is because they
are exportable. Agricultural products, the
current price of which is regulated in the
great markets of the world, are not affected
by the fretful wave of speculation at home.
These articles are what the farmer sells and
what he depends upon for reward for his
toll. What he buys he pays for at the prices
created in the heat OF speculation. Clothing,
boots and shoes, harness, furniture, ETC.,
cost him much more proportionately than
he can receive for his products.

THE HAMPTON IDEA.-The Hampton

IAN lovely in Lancaster" A persual of it
shows that there were three thousand persons
present, and that half of them wore the bull
dozer's uniform of red shirt. "The loud
pealing yels, with short intervals, at every
approach of the red-shirt clubs could be
heard sounding all along the Streets" They
were all undoubtedly wel.heeled" and
accompanied by the proper number of " tool

result of the parade "rhe Republican can
didates have almost all declined to run"

FRENcHY.-The simplest episodes of Amer
lean life have crisp freshness when dressed
for the French palate, and served in ar
tistic style in the columns of the Paris
newspapers. Here is dainty bit which is
copied from that lively sheet, lie Figaro "a
characteristic incident has marked the re-
cent visit of the President of the United
States to the battlefield of Gettysburg, and
has given Mr.. Hayes the chance for a mot
tinged with the spirit of equality which
should be found in all republics. Colonel
Batcheder, standing in the Presidents car
riage, was occupied in giving some explana-
tions to Mr.. Hayes, while the other carriages
were ranged around that OF the President,

THE CASE SrATED.-To understand fully
the import of Secretary Evarts' recent letter
to Lord Salisbury it is necessary to premise
that Captain Sullivan,a British naval officer,
reported to his government that the Ameri-
can fishermen driven away from Fortune
Bay last January had violated the fishery
laws of Newfoundland by fishing with
seine, and also in fishing on the Sabbath
Lord Salisbury sent this report to Mr.
Evarts, and spoke of it as conclusively de-
monstratiug that the American fishermen
were law breakers. Mr.. Evarts now asks
Lord Salisbury to say--yes or no-whether
the British government intend to assert that
our fshermen's rights in the inshore fishery
under the treaty Of Washington are held
subject to such laws as the provincial legis-
latures have seen fit, or may see fit, to enact
Mr.. Evarts intimates pretty distinctly that
the United States will not assent to this
view, and describes the question thus raised
as a vital one.

The immersion caused the most
curious sensation ever felt in all
