Democratic Postmasters Stuffing Mail
Packages with Campaign Literature.
In our experience as newspaper publish
ers we have not known of greater out
rage than is now being practiced by
Ohio postmasters in the rural towns and
villages. The postal laws are very strin-
gent in their provisions, and for violations
of the law there are severe penalties.
Newspapers are mailed at pound rates,
but publishers are prohibited from includ-
ing anything that does not properly be-
long to the paper. We are not even per-
mitted to send circulars relating to teh
publication of the papers. We may send
specimen copies of the paper at pound
rates, but that is ALL In the face of this
law Democratic postmasters at Offices of
delivery have opened our paper and
stuffed it with Democratic campaign doc
uments, and thus delivered it to sub
scribers, creating the impression, of
course, that the document was sent
from The Commercial Gazette Office. The
same liberty has, no doubt, been taken
with other publications, but in our case
we have the proof What the postoffice
authorities will do in the case we do not
know. If. We undertake to violate the
law as it has been violated in this case,
we know what would be and should be
done. The authorities are not in ig-
norance upon this subject. They know
what has been done, and it remains to be
seen whether they will punish the guilty
officials. Meantime we warn our sub
scribers to be on their guard, and ask
them to throw the fraudulent documents
in the face of offending postmasters. 1t
should be understood that no document
of the kind can be legally included in any
newspaper sent through the mails-that
it is violation of law to send anything
in newspaper except the paper itself,
unless the postage is paid at transient
rates.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

How Figures Arc Made to Lie.

The Democratic Harrisburg Patriot
illustrates either the ignorance or men,
dacity of the average Democratic organ in
its efforts to mislead the worlingmen
when it says that within the past ten
years the wages of coal miners and iron
workers have decreased 100 per cent"
A decrease of 100 per cent. would leave
nothing whatever. The statement of
the Harrisburg organ, however, Is
quite as accurate as the most that
Is said by the Democratic papers
in the discussion Of economic ques-
tions. They make figures to suit their
own purposes and it appears to be of
small consequence to them how ridiculous
they are. There may DO some so igno-
rant as to be deceived, but fortunately
the people in general are intelligent
enough to know better. The friends of
protection and labor could want nothing
better than an honest and intelligent dis
cussion of the tariff question, but it is not
to be had with those who either do not
understand the facts or refuse to recog-
nize them.-Philadelph Press.

"Amoosin' " Ways of the Free Trade "cuss"

An Omaha Democratic newspaper, in
commenting on the increase in price of
anthracite coal, says ''the tariff is q truly
blessed institution for the coal baron"
That paper, of course, supposes that there
is duty imposed on anthracite coal. A
few months agb college professor--a
free trader, of course-thought that q
large share of the surplus might be abol-
ishod by putting tea and coffee on the
free list, when every intelligent person in
tho country knows that they have been
on the free list Tor many years past. Mr..
Mills declares that he represents "the
largest wool growing state in the Union, -
when tho fact is that he does not belong
to the California delegation at all, and
never did. but is from the Ninth congress
sional district of Texas. It is these little
evidences Of imbccility which mako the

Modern Farming In Vermont

Already the new era of farming is
developing in the Green Mountain
State. The first occupation of the
land resulted in q general exhaustion
of the soil in places, some farms prov
ing valuable for special purposes and
some of little value. Many of the
buildings have been removed and
whole farms turned into pasturage,
while in others the whole farm has
been turned into meadows.
A great many farms have been
abandoned by the first settlers, their
children have moved westward and
foreigners are occupying the decaying
dwellings, if any remain. In several
instances there is a marked change.
The enterprise of the West and the
lessons learned there, with the higher
price of western lands and the lower
price of Vermont farms, have directed
to the opportunity for a
new system of profitable farming here.
Where lands were badly situated they
are still neglected, but in many in
stances the large meadow farms have
been purchased by returned western
men and turned into dairy farms with
all the modern appliances, and whole
farms, in more billy locations, taken
and turned into pasturage for young
and fattening stock. / have some 20
of these extensive farms in mind now
in Northern Vermont, and L am in
formed that the new system prevails
very largely all over the State. In
stances of IS TO $50 COWS are COM
mon, and the dairy appliances are
both of the creamery and the ordina-
~ dairy systems of making butter and
cheese. In these connections large
numbers of hogs are fattened for
slaughter and many fat cattle made
ready for market. A few instances
of live stock breeding as a speciality
and many with a mixture of sheep
and hogs, the general belief being
that live stock, sheep, hogs and dairy
ing are the great staple foundations
for prosperous farming in this coun-
try, and that New England offers IA
vorable opportunities for these.-HuS-

legged by President Cleveland, then if
this duty of over two cents pound
be taken off would not "the butcher
