SENATOR EDMUNDS'S HEALTH
viii Not Permit his Making any Cam
paign Speeches.

NEW YORK, Aug. ga letter was re-
ceived yesterday by the national republi-
can campaign committee from Senator
Edmunds stating that he would not be
able to make any more campaign speeches
this year, owing to the condition of his
health and the exhaustive requirements of
his congressional work. That he writes
this declaration with regret is evident
from his letter, in which he says:
All my heart and hopes and wishes are
in the success of our candidates in the
present campaign For | really think
it is one of the most important crises in
the history of Our country, particularly as
regards the material welfare, prosperity
and happiness of all the people. 1t is not,
therefore, from any embarrassment CON
nected either with our cause or our can
didates that have been obliged to decline
public speaking. 1t is physically impos-
sible for me to speak out af doors and
very nearly so in any large hall filled with
people. The wear and tear of nine months
of senatorial work, and the not altogether
propitlous climate OF Washington, are
indicating to me that my capacity tor
work Is substantially exhausted Tor this
S aSOn.

Justice to the Farmers.

The 4 american CultiUdtOr probably has
the largest circulation of any agricultural
weekly in America. 1t is strictly non-par-
tisan, devoting its columns to the farmer
and his interests without regard to party
lines. Its views upon the torif, which we
copy below, should be carefully lead by
every farmer in Vermont:
The american CultirdtOr has never
deemed 1t wise to advise its readers con
corning the subject OF party politics. We
believe the resources of this country are
so immense, the intelligence aud patriot
ism so great, that no set OF politicians, nor
any political party sustained by ajorlty
of The legal voters, can long endanger the
national prosperity or check the progress
of this broad republic. We do feel con
legislation as will rum millions of farmers
by permitting foreign wool to enter this
country free of duty, while protecting
manufacturers of woollens with a 40 pei
cent duty on foreign goods. We think
100000 farmers entitled to as much pro-
lection at the hands of the general gov
eminent AZ 10000 manufacturers. We
shlDk hay and potatoes and other farm
produce which untaXed Canadian farmers
can pour IN upon us, If placed upon the
free list, are entitled to fair prote elton,
while rice is protected under duty of l0O
per cent and sugar IS per cent. We believe
in justice to all classes. Farm products
should be protected until free trade be the
rule in every industry One class of
farmers should not be crushed under
foreign competition, while another class
may bask in the sunshine of protection.

WHY SOME OF THEM ARE NOT PURE

The absolute purity Of the Royal Baking Powder is
queny asked Why do other manufacturers, ALSO put
up pure baking powders, free from lime, alum and other
adulteans Is it fact that the Royal is the only pure
and wholesome baking powder made
There three classes Of these articles The cheap
powders which made of alum and are concededly
poisonous the phosphate powders containing from to II
per cent of lime which is ingredient the phosphate
used in Them and inseparabe from it; and the cream of

The of tartar baking powders which class
the Royal belongs to be pure be made from abso-
market contains lime The Royal Baking Powder made
from Of tartar specially refined and prepared for

eliminated There is other process by which cream Of

possible to remove the lime and other impurities
These the why the Royal is absolutely

from all eXtneous substances makes of higher eaven

Let Us Poll Full Vote for Once,

To the Editor of the Free Press
Why cannot Vermont voters 60 to the
polls In a recent conversation with a
we'll informed politician of New Hamp-
shire town, | was told how we'll they sue
ceeded in polling their votes Said he {:
You people in Vermont know little about
work at elections. We here on both sides
make speciality of getting the voters
out | have known elections where out of
900 registered voters only 20 failed to vote
and they were too old decrepit or feeble to
get to the polls" This struck me as re-
markable, especially in view of the con-
fession had to make that in the Vermont
town where lived, out of 400 registered
voters at the last governor election only
260 voted. And this is fair sample of
other years aud other towns. Snail this
seeming negligence be repeated this year !:
Respectfully,

speaking of the endeavor to raise hue
and cry against General Harrison on &C
count of his position on the Chinese ques-
ton, the Boston transcript, one of the
most influential and able OF the independ-
ent press, sensibly says
Plcayune politicians are laboring to eX-
cite prejudice against General Harrison
because he had the good sense to assume
somewhat liberal position upon the
Chinese question in the United States
Senate several years ago. His friends
should welcome all such attacks, for they
can only lnJure the attacking party.

About three times month the New
York sun has to come out with the state
ment that it is supporting the reelection
of Grover Cleveland and every time the
announcement makes the democrats
vince. The trouble is, that Mr. Dana has
an unfortunate penchant for speak
ing right out in meeting. He is one of
those fellows who can't get along com
fortably with their months and ears stuff
ed with cotton and the truth he tells
about Grover Cleveland and the free trade
democracy is sadly depressing to the party

The recent ocean tragedy by which so
many a sengers of the Inflated Geiser
lost theiv lives, will turn the attention of
steamship travellers afresh to steamers

be relied on, when the steamer is struck
on the side. Think o. the conditions A

1t is understood that Mr.. Cleveland has
been exceedingly anxious that Senator
German should resume his place of four
years ago as chairman of the executive
committee of the democratic national
committee. German will not take the
place for two reasons. One is that Cor
man made great many promises of Of
fees while conducting the last campaign
which Cleveland went back on. The sec
ond reason is that German Is a demo
crat of the Randall school, and that he
considers the campaign upon a free trade
basis is certain to result in defeat.

Congressman Reed, in the New York
independent, illustrates the misleading
character of the democratic statements
about tariff percentages as follows; 81 is
time to show what they call merely a
seven per cent reduction really is. Some
articles we use much of. OF ouuers we use
very little In this new doctrine of per
centages quantity plays no part. Tannic
acid at 1871 per cent, of which we use
ounces, counts as much as metals at
thirty-eight per cent, of which we use
thousands of tons We import 5000 worth
of the acid and Sl6,000,000 worth of the
metals. Anybody can see the folly of add
ing these percentages together and saying
that the average protection on fannie acid
and the metals is III per cent And yet,
just in that way is the sleight of-Land per
centage doctrine manpuvred."

in the country. He believes that with salt
on the free list rs proposed by the Mil S
bill, the great salt business at Syracuse
and its vicinity would be ruined and the
money it puts in circulation would 90 into
the hands of foreign producers. The
same result would follow in other indus

Gale wants prosperity for the country,
