ton in the local paper, viii yet be cited
By careful historians as an illustration OF
the physical powers Of race then Lost
in weakness and efiminacy. Her hard
toll at unreasonable periods, may also be
cited to show one important factor in
producing such degenerate race. Local
items tend to produce spirit Of unity OF
acquaiutanceship among the people Of
territory through which the local paper
circulates. They engender a spirit Of
activity and emulation. Country papers
build up communities by setting forth
their advantages for special kinds of bus
mess, or they languish and die with the
place which they have allowed to stag
nate. One good thing can be said OF
the country paper, it deals in facts. and
is truthful. If a correspondent romances,
there are dozen scribblers in town ready
10 take him up and correct the minutest
lnaccuracy. This is known and remem-
bered by local reporters, and should not be
forgotten by those who doubt the avail
ability of the country paper as reposi-
tory of history.

southeasterly part Of the town on the land

Their machinery Is propelled by steam.
They are building dwelling house for the

dred cords Of birch, beech, maple and
poplar, all OF which the people are ready
to furnish. They now have under contract
all they want for this season. There ID q
large amount Of various kinds Of timber
In the immediate vicinity. They will prob
ably do large business there for severs
years, much to the mutual beneft OF them
selves and the neighbors who own the tim
Der, and also to Messrs. Elliott and Bart
lett, who have the lumber when manu- fac
tured They are doing large and thriv
ing business at their spool mill In the
southwest part Of the town at or near

THE GREAT SAVING BY SECRETARY WIN
poM's PLANS OVER MEASURES PRO
POSED BY CoNGRY>s.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ll.-Mr. Windows
refupdipg operations have now been en-
tirely completed, the few remaining sus-
pended cases having been disposed OF
The total OF the bonds continued at 3 l-2
per cent Is $500. $50 $50. and the total cost
Ia the Government was about sl0, 900. of
which nearly $4,000 was for paper and
printing the bonds, and for all other rX.
penses, including the cost of making the
exchanges OF about s4j 100000 OF the
bonds IN London, 81. t99 0S This mskrs
the expenses OF continuing each million
dollars OF bonds about ST. 50. Mr.. Win
dom says that his r-funding operations
result In a much greater saving IN the
Government than would have been ,if''cted
by The r.fundipg measures OF the last Con-
gress, for the following reasons The bill
passed by Congress appropriated one-quar-
ter OF per cent. for expenses or rrfunding.
which would have amouni ell To 81, AS. 900
as against less than $40 900 by his plan
As q part OF the refunding measures OF
Congr-ss. and In order To induce the bank
TO accept three per cent. bond, hill
passed the Senate unanimously rrp-aliDs
the tax on bank deposits, which would
have reduced the annual revenues or tn.
Government 81. 569, 456, as shown by the
receipts OF 1880. The House Committee
on Ways and Means Of the last Congress,
for like reasons, reported favorably bill
repeating the tax on bank d. posts, and
also the two-cent stamp tax on bank
checks. drafts and orders. amounting In
the aggregate to $500, 699. This sum
added To the quarter OF per cent. for
expenses of the 8 per cent. r-funding m.a-
sure amounts 10 $40, l2j 599. The differ
ence between l-2 and u per cent. bond
on the entire amount OF bonds refunded Is
81, So. 500 per annum. which, deducted
from the total OF $40, l25. 500 as above
stated, shows an advantage 10 the Gov
eminent for the first year Of 7,227, I99 by
Secretary WINDOWS operations over the
rcfunding measure proposed by the last
Congress. And as II was proposed by
the House Committee OF Ways aud Means
TO reduce the annual revenue derived from
banks $3.50, 699 In order 70 induce the
banks to take 3 per cent. bond. the =
per cent plan OF Secretary Window shows
q permanent advantage OF IS, IA, S99 per
anDum TO the Government over the inca
sure proposed by the Wsys and Means
Committee OF the last House OF Represent
atives. Another advantage Of his measure
over that proposed by Congress is that the
loan Is payable at the discretion OF the
Government, and hence may be paid at any
time that the Government has funds, whe-
Their IL be this year or hundred years
