THE BURLINGTON VT, FREE PRES:

Tho great question Of the day is how tt
make farming pay. The depreciation OF thu
times has brought prices down to hard-pan
But We have seen prices lower than they
are t0-day-the good old times" wher
cheese sold at four cents and butter les:
than ten. There may DO ahead of US an era
Of still greater depreciation of prices. W.
must learn to labor and to wait. Mr.
priyations endured by the early settlers oil
Vermont, and said that we ought not to find
fault. even with tho present depreciation oil
prices. There is, after all. nothing discour-
aging in the present outlook for Vermont
farmers. The wealth of the State lies in Its
farms, its produce, its stock. its men.
| Farming is as good here as anywhere.
| There is no danger of everything failing as
| long as it is possible to make such dis
play as that here to-day. Never before
have seen such an exhibition of stock.
There is no need of being discouraged an
iota in that or in any other direction.
Farming and stock raising cost too much.
The reason and the remedy don't pretend
to know.
Mr.. Smith closed his address with warm
eulogy on Senator Morrill,, whom he pro-
nounced an honest man and a man of the
people.
