THE CHARMS OF AN EDITORS

One Of the beauties ard charms Of an
editors life is in his dead heating 1t on
all occasions, No one who has never
tasted the swee's OF that bliss. can begin
to take IN his glory and happiness, He
does 800 worth Of advertising for 4 rail
road company, gets R pass for year,
rides S25; and then hH isxtS" krd upon at
dead head or han blown dead beat.
He 'puffs' concert troupe $40 worth,
and gets 81 in 'complenentarIes,' and is
thus passed free II the hall is crowded
he is begrudged the room he occupies,
for if his colnplementaries were paying
tickets the troupe would be so much
more in pocket. He blows and puffs a
church festival free to any desired ex.
tent, and does the poster printing at half
rates, and merely gets thank you for
it. 1t goes as part Of his duty as an editor.
He does more work gratuitously for the
town and community than all the rest
of the population put together. and gets
curses for 1t all, while in many instances
where a man donates few dollars for
the fourth OF July, base ball club or a
church, he is gratefully remembered.
He passes free you know.-IUtica OBJ

A correspondent writes: "Another
very plausible free trade idea is that it
would make no difference TO us if wages
were 80 per cent. lower than at present,
provided prices of commodities were
correspondingly lowered, and :heu they
say, with wages down to the English
standard we could more easily compete
with England for the markets Of the
world, Now all this has a very taking
sound, but they nowhere inform us
where these markets are, and, in my
opinion, the best way to find them is to
notice where England, France, Belgium
and Germany are steering for, and that
is the United States, right here at home.
Soft words butter no parsnips,' Per-
haps they will tell US how much easier,
with wages lowered so per cent? it will
be for us to pay off the mortgages on
our homes, Somehow they haven't
shrunk like other things, but remain
solid realities staring us in the face. In
this grand free trade transformation in
the value of everything except debts
perhaps the workingmen will be bene-
fitted, but / don't believe he will enjoy
the luxury of paying those same old
debts with money that is so per cent.
more difficult to get-that is, not to any
great extent"

The Big Dual Show to Encamp In Ben.
nIngton, Tuesday, Aug. IA,
That grand old man, the Hon. Adam
Forepaugh, known throughout the world
as the greatest and most successful Of all
amusement purveyoTs, and whom the
late General Grant once styled the Bis
marck of the show world, is now making
remarkably triumphant tour of the
New England chcult. 1t would seem
that Manager Forepaugh scored most
pronounced coup d'etdt when he secured
the great wild West" show, with its
daring scouts, COW boys, crack shots,
buffalo, elk, bucking horses and steers.
The entire "Wild West" outfit, precisely
as seen during its memorable run on
Staten Island, New York, now appears
in conjunction with Mr.. Forepaugh's
famous plural ring circus, muse um, me-
nagerie, grand 70 nan hippOdrome, n
the astounding equine, canine and ele-
phantine sensations of A, Forepaugh,
Jr.
Bennington has been included in the
route of the big dual show and Tuesday,
Aug, IA, will signalize the advent here

the hugest and finest tented exhibition

than any other entertainment ever did,

lana. June 20, '76. The Boston Herald,
in describing Forepaugh's representation
of this historical drama, says:
ITO those who had read the story of
the struggle in the canon, the picture re
vived all the recolleCtiOns of the story
told by the only survivors. The seeming
OF the Indians by Clusters daring scouts,
the following of the trail by the shv-
ages, the trick that brought Custer's
men riding fearlessly into the ambush,
the raking fire of the Indians after their
first fierce onslaught and the battle to
the death by the blue coated cavalrymen
were all depicted in manner that sent
thrill Of passion through many Of the
spectators,
All the Wild West features, including
Lone Feathers, band of Sioux war

The Free Press may well ask "What
does it mean ?" referring to the opening
rally of the Vermont canvass Of last
week, The reply given is Of interest to
our readers; "How are we to explain

a political rally among.the Green Hills
What was the meaning Of the column OF
5000 voters who, marching eight abreast,
filled nearly two miles Of our streets yes

vast throng OF tnOus...- Nn" s"4ne''
citizens, who filled our City Hall park
with the largest audience ever gathered
in Vermont with probably single ex-
ception, and stood for over three hours
listening to the speakers of the day
Vermont is not doubtful State. A Re.
publican nomination for every State and
county office is here still equivalent to
an election. The electoral vote of YER
mont is as certain for Harrison and Nor.
ton as election day is to arrive. No Mon
ey has been spent in drumming up en-
thusiasm here. Not man was hired to
come or to march. What, then, is the
meaning Of popular assemblage like
that of last Thursday? The answer is
easy. The men of Vermont are part OF
the nation The sentiment which ami
mates them is that which perYades the
American people wherever they are ex-
ercising their free, unbiased judgment,
The fact that this meeting was an ex.
preston of the strong and deep purpose
of the masses, is what gave it its chief
significance. 1t means that Vermont lie
true to her traditions, true to her princi
Piles, true to her leaders, true to herself
But 1t means something more. The great
Republican rally of 1888 means what the
great trally of 1910, of which we have
heard so much of late, meant-viz THAT
THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF DEM
oCRATIC RULE"

Again finaucial depression followed
assignments and bankruptcies resulted
everywhere manufacturers suspended
operations. and business grew worse and
worse, till the elimination was reached
in the fiuap cial crash Of 1887. one of the
most disastrous financial revulsions ever
known-severer even than that which
followed the repeal of the first tariff in
1916. Very few persons could save
themselves property Of every descrip-
ton was disposed of at astounding sac
rifices. In some parts of Pennsylvania
bank notes were divided into halves, and
even into quarters, money was so scarce
In Ohio, it was hard to get money
enough TO pay taxes. SO little money
was there that ut sherilf's sales good
horses sold for 81 each, COWS at 81 and
hogs at 614 cents apiece. In Missouri a

I0IO,-KEPEAL OF THE TARIFF.
But in 1916 reaction had taken place
in favor of the Democratic party and its
economic ideas which have dLtrdyS
leaned strongly toward free trade or very
low tariff rates. The law of 1889, to.
gether with the amendments of 1879,
was repealed and very low duties only
were allowed
