THERE WAS NOTHING unusual In the
meeting between Mr. Harrison and Mr.
Quay at Indianapolis yesterday Per
sons who thought it would be something
like the famous meeting between Stanley
and Livingstone are therefore mistaken,
1t couldn't have been that way in any
event, for it is an undecided question
whether Quay found Harrison or Harri-
son found Ouay.

Chester, Mimi, Thursday succumbed to
the cold wind and when found they were
frozen to death. Saturday night was the
coolest of the season at Albert Lea,
Mimi, the thermometer going as low as
AZ below. Ole Azze of karland was
frozen to death. Dispatches from Il
dozen places in northern Texas say the
blizzard reached that part of the State
Saturday afternoon and the mercury fell
from 40 to 60 degrees, reaching almost to
zero at some points. High winds pre-
vailed and sleet and snow fell In an I'M
precedented manner. Advices from the
Pan Handle say the mercury fell to
degrees above zero, and that cattle were
drifting before the storm and suffering
badly. Later reports from the ranges in
Texas are meager, but enough have been
received to show that cattle and sheep
have suffered greatly. Though the storm
has abated in Texas the temperature con-
tinues very cold. The weather has been
the most severe known for years. Bon
ham, Tex, reports farmer named Henry
Williams frozen to death while on his
way home, and good many cattle
persisted. Cleburn reports Henry Corbin
(colored) and many cattle frozen.
Austin, the capital, reports the Colorado
river frozen over for the first time on
record and ice four to six inches thick.
A large number of stock have died in
that vicinity.

There is little prospect of any imme-

VERMONT AND THE Wool TARIFF.

IRON tne Springfield RepuD1can.J
Our friends and neighbors, the Ver-
mont Merino sheep breeders, have been
heard from again, and for second time
within a few weeks they rise up to read a
tariff lesson to the President and the peo-
pie. One would think, from the condos
cension of manner and righteousness of
tone they assume, together with the
noise they make, that Vermont was the
center and circumference of the wool
growing industry of the country, and
that the wool tariff was absolutely essen
tial to its existence. They make all sorts
of fun of the Presidents message, and
after comcally calling it the effusion of
a sophomore in the Golden school, sud-
denly swell with Indignation and pro-
nounce his recommendations as to the
wool tariff insulting to their intelligence.
Nevertheless, we make bold to say that
this insulted intelligence has yet some
thing to learn about sheep-growing and
the tariff. Those who believe with the
President hold that the tariff has not and
does not protect this industry. What are
the facts as to Vermont. The following

BOSTON PRODUCE.
There has been a fair movement in butter
the past week, and prices have ruled steady.
ket has gained some strength, because the
supply has hardly been enough for the de-
mand, but intermediate grades, which com
prise the bulk of the held stock remain just
about the same as quoted a week ago. North
ern dairy Is not attracting much attention.
The best fall lots are about all cleaned up,
ana the small supplies coming in are Off in
quality and range principally from Is to 20c.
Common stock under 1Sc Is scarce and wanted.
=, The egg market has been demoralized all
the week and prices have taken n wide range.
Some of the lots had to be forced off at from
10 to 2Oc others at from 90 to pc and the fresh
est sold at % 10 25c per dozen.
Beans are distributed as fast as they come
along and prices are well maintained. Re-
ceipts consist mainly of large pea and medi-
ums, which find buyers at 81 40 to Sl45 per
bushel and some range up to $3.50. Small pea
are scarce and range from $3.50 to $3.50, as to
quality.
In the potato market the leading feature is
the increased demand tor best early rose,
which are wanted tor seed. Houlton stock
was held Tuesday at 90c, but few sales were
so to Sc Northern varieties range from 10 to
soc as to quality. There is still a fair supply
of foreign offering, with sales at from 50 to 15c
per bushel.
further Improvement is noticed in the
poultry market. Choice Western turkeys go
on more readily at IL to lac per pound than
they dld two weeks ago ut 12c. Clear chick
ems are also selling well at about the same adj
vance, but mixed lots are still a little slow
Fancy Northern fresh-<illed are in light sup
ply and go little higher than Western.
Apples are not very plentiful and command
full prices, though trade is rather light. For
the best baldwins $3.50 to 1918 per barrel can
be obtained and some fancy varieties go high
er. Fair to good range from 81 80 to 1928
The hay market holds steady course. The
demand Is moderate, but about as usual at
this season. Choice grades OF Eastern and
Northern command Sl7 to Ssp per ton, but only
extra quality is worth the outside figure. Rye
straw is in steady demand at from Sl7 to Sl9

Here are facts that might be studied
with profit. What sort of protection is
this that is driving the sheep industry
of Vermont out of existence, that has in
SO years fostered the determination of
near 1000 sheep out of a total of ,0l4,-
900? Under high tariffs and low tariffs,
tariffs framed by wool-growers and tar
ifs framed by others, the downward
course has been uniform and steady.
When the wool tariff was lowest, in 1853
81, and Canadian wool was admitted free,
Nermonters obtained an average of over
30 cents a pound for their wool where
to-day they are getting less than 40 cents.
In the face of these facts, what school of
political economy do the Vermont sheep
breeders belong to and what stage have
they reached? And what have the peo-
pie of Vermont to say to this new and
wonderful school of political economists
who would tarif-taX their wool industry
out of existence?
