you of a glorious ride have had into Al

Dufferin bespeaking for me the good offices
of all officials throughout his empire. Armed
with this, upon my arrival here | called upon
the deputy commander, and asked "A permit
to go into the Khyber pass, leading into the
land of the nneer as far as possible, The re-
suit was that this morning. accompanied by
one Of his native officials, we drove eleven
miles to the fort at the foot of the hills Here
we found our liveryman had sent IA relay of
horses TO carry us part of the way up the
pass where we expected to find saddle
horses, also sent from the city early in the
morning.
WITH AN ESCORT
Accompanied by an escort of eight
mounted cavalrymen, splendidly mounted
and carrying lances, we dashed toward and
into the foothills On every high point for
IA mile or two "A couple of soldiers would step
from n little stone hut and present arms as
we passed by at full speed Sometimes these
sentres were 100 or 200 feet above us. As
we had come from the town we had seen
several regiments practicing field exercises.
This, together with these frequent sentry
posts, made us realize that we were in
neighborhood where dread war might at any
hour break into wild whoops But our es-
cort We're splendid looking fellows and We're
fully armed, and had n two-barreled little |
Derringer. We were able to cope with an
army in a narrow gorge. We passed a cara
van of camels, mules, and cows all packed |
and accompanied by wild looking armed |
men.
We had not gone two miles upward before |
our carriage horses baked. We got out and |
walked. One of the soldiers dismounted and |
offered me his horse, beautiful stallion, full |
of mettle and horse sense. l mounted and |
rode ahead with two soldiers, the others com |
ing slowly up with the boys till they should |
reach the next relay. The pass is through a |
wild, desolate, and grand gorge, bold, rocky, |
and bleak mountains lifting far above the |
road, which is fine but steep military one
My two "sikhs" were splendid looking fel- |
lows. They seemed to appreciate my horse

makes me deny that | can ride-and talked

pretended to understand enough to keep them
in good humor, while on we dashed. In
about an hour one of them said something to
the 'sahib" (gentlemam which | understood
to be that must ride slowly. He dashed
forward at full speed--we were now on
down grade The two of us rode on slowly.

blinded to such an extent that they
will not reason, and we will not at
tempt it here. Another interesting
thing was announced in this meet
ing, and that was the fact that the
w. G. L. Union in the nation, state
and county had made an offensive
land defensive alliance with the third
party prohibitionists. The president of
bhe Union in this county was pres
ent and assented to the fact. So
hen, the Union and the prohibition
j SITS and the democrats are all join
ing hands to cut down w. p Dill
l'ingham's majority in Vermont, and
| % defeat, if they can, as clean q
temperance man, as spotless a Chris
ian as there is in this whole country,
Benjamin Harrison. These men and
women in Vermont ought to be able
ID see that their course will so alien
ste the sympathies of all patriotic
snd honest republicans, men and wom-
en-, as to drive them further and
further from party which in its
purposes and in all its efforts is bent
on the destruction of republicanism
in the United States.
At Z o'clock p. m. the flag, bearing
the portraits and names of Fisk and
Brooks, was raised, the ladies of the
W. G. L. U. being the prominent
actors in this ceremony.
The address of w. p. Stafford,
Esq, of ST. Johnsbury, was in
pleasing contrast to the speech of
Mr.. Penniman, both for candor and
ability Full three-fourths of all
he said could have been said con-
sistently by temperance republican
or democrat. He presented the evils
of the saloon, socially, morally and
politically, and charged upon them
the decision of the last presidential
election. However, few if any,
but party prohibitionists, would agree
with Mr. Stafford in his conclusion
that the best way to fight the evil
was by separate political action, nor
did they see the visions which he re-
vealed in glowing prophesy, that the
year 1892 would behold the triumph
of the party in the election of pres
ident. Perhaps the only unfair thing
in this address was his attempt to
show that there was only hypocrisy
an attempt to catch votes in the
temperance resolutions of the Chi
cago convention he claimed it was
a plan of the politicians to deceive.
Mr.. Stafford ought to have read the
papers enough to knowthat Mr.. Bou-
telle of Maine says he drew the
resolution withou consultation with
anyone, and he ought to know that
Mr.. Boutelle is as good prohibition
ist as any third party man.
In reference to the three repub-
licans who appear on their county
ticket, it ought to be said in fairness
both to the nominees and to the con-
vention, that it was distinctly under
stood that they have no sympathy
with the third party movement, and
the chairman of their nominating
committee stated to the convention
that they had gone out of the party
for their candidates.

purchase will be correspondinglv low

purchase will be correspondingly low

But everybody who has passed
through the experience of the last
twenty-five years well knows that
the high-price times have been best.
1t is easier for the laborer or the
farmer to lay by something for his
"rainy day when times are good,
wages high and work plenty than in
hard times He pays the $500 indebt-
edness on his place with four hun
dred days work, when wages com
mand Sl.25 per day; he works 500
days to pay $500 at $l.00 per day.
If there is any margin at all between
the mans income and his expenses, it
is liable to be the greatest under the
high wage plan. But the farmer who
is in debt feels the effects of hard
times in the quick lowering of the
price of every farm product. 1t is
no stretch of memory to go back to
the fall of 1873 after the great fail
ures which stagnated business. He
feels in the next market returns the
blow that falls on the New England
manufacturer, and every branch of
business suffers when anything oc-
LoE fn h1unpr HnNur1 fhn
price of goods or products in New
England.
There is another phase in the case
that ought to be considered. AS
wages are pushed down, las farm prod
ucts are deprecated, and as the
product of the mill and the quarry is
forced to lower rates, so correspond
ingly the values of real estate, farms,
houses, timbered lands, quarries, etc,
are deprecated in value. Everything
but debts will go down under legisla-
ton which hurts the country, or any
misfortune that bears prices down.
The debts men owe stand up full
size, larger and more terrible, really,
and the memorable interest account
goes on.
The rich, possibly, may be able to
stand up against the proposed raid
on the industries of the nation, which
the democrats are attempting in the
Mills bill, but the poor, the laboring
classes, and those who are struggling
under debts cannot afford any change
which promises to make their condi-
ton worse.

Mr.. Cleveland, chagrined by the
defect of the proposed treaty relative
to the Canadian fishing question, has
turned round and proposes to enforce
retaliating measures with a venge-
ance. Don't you get excited, Grover
just tell the Canadians that if they
insist on unfair play you will refuse
them the rights of our markets, and
corresponding privileges in Uncle
Sans dominions. They will scare
you if they can; but they are too
small to spit in your face if you have
courage to resent it. just put your
big foot right down that will do it.

Ex-senator Miller to Farmers.

Senator Miller in the course of his
address at Angelica recently, said
The President argues in his Free
Trade message that the farmers are
injured by the Tariff system. If it
is an injury, then away with it, for
agriculture is the foundation of our
prosperity. The President tells you
that the duty on foreign goods is adj
ded to the price of the domestic
on the foreign articles and therefore
it is a robbery of the consumer. How
much of your products do you think
are consumed here at home? Over
90 per cent. When we had no pro-
tective tariff we had no such home
market. Now we send to Europe a
paltry 6 or s per cent. of our pro-
ducts. We raise in this country
900, 100000 pounds of butter year
ly, and of that only paltry 38,000,-
900 pounds go to Europe. The home
market has consumed it all. Compare
the price of butter now and in 1860,
before the protective tariff system
was adopted. Butter was sold for
II cents a pound. Now you get 20
and % cents a pound. Then the
democrats say that the price of agri-
cultural implements will be lower.
Why, we make agricultural imple-
ments so low in price now that we are
selling them in England and all over
Europe. You get 100 per cent. more
for your farm products than you did
in 1860, and prices of manufactured
produces are 80 per cent. less than
they were then. Why democrats
should have put wool on the free list
1 am puzzled TO understand. The
President says that the high tariff
does not benefit the working classes,
that they have to pay tax on every
thing they buy, which loses them the
advantage of their own high wages.
The protective tariff has led to an inn
improvement of the breed of sheep
and of the quality of wool. Our NUT
ton is as good as that of England.
Break down the tariff and you will
destroy the finer grades of sheep.
How much wool goes into a suit of
clothes? In a heavy suit not over z
pounds, worth $1.40. Now, therefore,
your suit would cost you that much
more, but if you have so sheep your
loss by the abolition of the duty on
wool would be $50. Therefore, to
save $1.40, you would lose $50 l
can't see the profit of that. Gap
plause and laughter.) Moreover,
everything we consume on the table,
with the exception of sugar, is cheap
er than in Europe. Our laboring men
have meat twice a day. The labor
ing man in Europe who should have
meat twice a day would think him
self an aristocrat.

loss of his arm. He remained here as
long as he desired, several years if | re-
member correctly. The employees are
based in percentage in the order named
those named first being the largest.
French Canadians, Irish Americans, Ger
mans and English.
Wages: Carders, females earn from 50
to ~ cents per day. Spinners-boys from
IS cents to 81, and men, SI.3715 cents per
day. Loom-fxers-from $1.75 to So so
per day and boys 81 per day. Weavers
by the yard-the highest in the month of
June earned $500. Females for four
weeks work average about S12 per day.
The highest earned by men in June for
four weeks work was $40. % Good men
weavers average $1.50 per day. Finish
ing room women speakers, are paid 20
cents per day and other female help from
20 cents to dollar per day.
In the Colchester Mills, which are own
ed and Controlled by this Company, the
help is paid the following compensations;
Cardtenders, 81 day; females on row.
ing frames, from 80 to so cents per day;
on combers, from so cents to ST. day;
lappers from 81 to $1.1o per day; spin
ners average $1.40 per day.
There are no children employed by this
company under II years of age, and prob
ably not half dozen at any one time. No
children are allowed to be employed here
under IA years of age who have not COM
piled with the laws of the state in refer
ence to attending school the prescribed
time of each year.
Our pay roll for the year ending Deem
Der 31st, 1887, amounted to $212, 946.50.
[ name this time because a portion of the
time of the first part of 1888 our No. 2 min
was stopped, but it is now running. The
number of employees in the wooden de-
partment of this mill average AGO, and in
the Colchester mill, 100.
The Mills tariff bill now pending in con-
gress, if carried into effect, would leave
the wooden industry worse than it is now.
We are not advocates of free wool, for
the simple reason that we do not believe
in any one industry being fostered at the
expense of another. Any change in the
import duties that reduces the protection
that has been in force for the past three
years, would seriously cripple the indus
Try. These mills have not paid a dividend
since the revision of the tariff under the
republican legislation of 'S3,which left US
from to 7per cent worse than nothing as
with the foreign manufacturers.
The passage of the Mills bill would COM
pei us to reduce wages even, if we had
free wool, or else close our establish
nents.

How to Make Debt Paying Harder.

1t is the misfortune of many to be
in debt. Those, oftentimes, who
have a few hundred or a few thous-
and dollars have burdened themselves
with debts, either mortgage or other
wise. When wages are remunerative
and prices tolerably high it is not a
difficult thing to cut down the mort
gage or the debt, but when hard times
come n,when sickness or misfortune
overtakes one, the end of the year is
reached and there is no reduction
possibly an increase. The poor and
the honest man looks over the figures
with sadness.
Everybody will understand that in
favorable times, when wages are high,
when farm products command good
prices, when manufactured goods sell
we'll and manufacturing is brisk, that
it is comparatively easy to get ilv-
ing, to pay debts, or to add to the
savings account. In war times and
the few years following, when money
was cheap and flush, it was easy to
cancel old debts. Those who were
careful at that time bettered their con-
dition greatly; but there was a spirit
of recklessness and extravaganza be-
gotten which made many buy lands,
carriages, tools, etc., things neces-
sary and unnecessary, within and
without, which left heavy, some
times crushing debt on them. In
der that burden of debt many men
are Iaboring to-day. 1t is well un
derstood that there is a design on the
part of one of the great parties to so
alter and cut down the tariff of the
country as to enable the importer to
bring in many products and many
manufactured articles at a lower
price. This to the rich man and the
well-to-do in some cases might seem
no disadvantage but, inasmuch as
labor, the products of the soil, the
mine, the quarry and the mill are
priced by the purchasing power of
one dollar in the worlds market, the
disadvantage of opening our doors
to the world will be well understood
when our labor must compete with
the cheap labor of those countries
where everything bears a low price.
Hence, whatever tends to bring down
the value of the productions of the
farm, the mill, the quarry and the
mine, must of necessity carry down
the price of labor in all these indus
tries. The capitalist will not use
his money in a business that promis-
es no profit-better let it out at in
terest. If he can not make goods at
profit with labor at S1.50 per day,
he cuts down the price of labor or
stops his work. But the poor man
must work at such wages as the wage
market commands. The poor farm
er can not tide over the years of de-
preston with the money he has laid
by in the bank. He must live; he
must meet his interest account; he
must fight hard against adversely.
Better by r,all things considered,
are easy times for the poor or the in
debted man, than for the rich, even.
1t is claimed by the tariff doc
tors that while prices of labor, of
farm products, of the factory and the
mine or quarry 60 down, other things
which the farmer, the laborer, etc.,
