THE whole career of the Republi-.
can party since the financial matters, .
says the Philadelphia North Ameri-
can Review, "has been one steady and
resistless march to safe and prudent
basis Of currency, banking and politi.
cal economy, so that the party has
truly deserved the title Of conserva-
tive" But impartial history begins a
little farther back. The first grand
march, almost to the jaws of repudia,
ton, began by forcing upon the coun-
try an irredeemable currency, against
the united protest of the Democrats
and the best men OF the Republican
party. The next conservative move,
ment was to pack the Supreme Court
in order to declare rag money legal
tender. All our financial troubles are
overwhelmingly to these two move
ments. Who, too, but the North
American, is oblivious to the fact that
its Republican neighbor, Judge Kelly,
and ours, Gen. Butler, are preeminent
leaders in endeavorIng to perpetuate
the peculiar kind of conservatism in.

Charles w. Mason of Versennes
. noted dealer in Spanish mcrino
sheep, hes just started for Sau An
tonic, Texas, with another car load
OF "tnll bloods.' The capital and
attention Of many Vermont farmers
are being attracted by the profits OF
the sheep business, which are some
times enormous, the refusal Of 800,
5000 and $500 for animals which
have not cost over so in raising
being qnite common. and those por-
tons OF the State WHARF it is carried
on are marked by large, handsome
and expensive barns and other farm
buildings. Some farmers have also
gone to Colorado, Oregon, New
Mexico, Texas, California, Idaho and
other Western regions which arc es-
pccialy adapted to sheep raising.
Oscar Bacon of Waltham has just
sold forty five Spanish merino ewes to
an Ohio man for $40 apiece and two
buck lambs for $500. A merino buck
purchased by john H. Sprague five
years ago for $1,000 has earned HIM
$4,000, besides services in his own
flock of $50 ewes.

to raise the money which has always
been known as the corruption fund OF

This was dispensed with lavish hand,
and thus another victory, small as it
Is, will be scored Tor debauched poll
ties OF the Republican party, Hayes
can rejoice in the fact that he has
secured the adhesion OF large ma
jorily of even the bloodshirt Republ.
cans Of New Hampshire. While
Maine and Iowa ignored him, and
New York Republicans spat upon his
policy, his old associates in the Re
publican party here have forgotten
and forgiven his dcsrrllon of their
principles, and have accepted in good
faith, we suppose, the Democratic
teachings Of the past lhir cen years
1t is seldom that an apostle has such
signal success in obtaining converts
when he antagonizcs the teachings
and prejudces OF several decades, and
we congratulate Hayes on his triumph
over the Old.Guard Republicans Of
New Hampshire. They may have
been duped, and doubtless many OF
them were, into the idea that they
were not indorsing Hayes surrender,
but each will find himself ticketed {
hereafter as Hayes Republican, and
will find his company among those |
who jus. now are shouting themselves S
hoarse for Cancellation. AS the Re S
