ought to be left to themselves. By in
termeddling you would be as foolish as
the boy who, in his impotence, manipu-
lates plant with the hope of getting
bud to blossom before its appointed time.
The competition of the world has become
so keen, owing to the causes which have
explained that many industries besides
agriculture have been fundamentally
changed. Fashions change or new de-
mands arise, and factories must make a
complete alteration in their machinery to
meet the new conditions. When steel,
for instance, substitutes iron, the whole
manufacture has to be adjusted to the
new conditions of competition. But
manufacturers do not dream of asking
Che State to bear the cost of adaptation to
the new conditions of competition. They
bear the loss and ultimately benefit by
the gain. 1t is only because the produce
ers of food constitute large industry
that they persuade themselves that they
haye an exceptional claim to aid from
taxation. A State that has enjoved the
blessings and the liberty of free trade fol
forty years will not consent that all of US
should be taxed for the benefit of some OF
us, or, in other words, that the labor EN-
ployed in successful industries should be-
burdcned to support another industr,
|, which has not yet adjusted itself to tn,
changed conditions of the world"
Before closing this subject | add tn,
following statistics from speech of Geo
w. Medley, delivered at Sheffield, Eng
lnnd, Nov. s, 1881:

written article in the October number of
the Nineteenth Century, written by Mr..
Thomas p. Whitaker:
''rhe following are the amounts of the
exports of Great Britain and the United
States to the five divisions of the globe
for the year 1873, as given by the Ameri-
cans themselves excluding the trade be-
tween the two countries):'

send ELS, l40,S00 worth. Even to the
peoples of North and South America, at

Herr of Lexington, Ky, to whom you

she by Hamlin's Patchen, he by Geo. NJ.

LADY HENDRICKS, 2:so-LETTER OF A. j

CoLDwATER, Mich, June ID, 1887.

COLDwATER, Mich, June 10, 1857
j. BATTELL, Esq,
Dear Sir Yours received with refer
ence to breeding of Lady Hendricks. She
was raised by Grin Taylor of Orland,
Steuben Co., Ind; sired by Dauntless,
dam sired by Tom Hunter. Farther back
than that have forgotten, other than
that her dam was very speedy mare,
but went wrong-got ugly. Tom Hun
ter is the sire of Albemarle, 2:19, and,
think, eight others in the 80 list; so
you see the Lady is standard on her sire,
her dam and herself, as she has a record
of 80. As for description: She is a
seal brown mare, 10 hands, no white !;
kind, sound, pure-gaited; trotter except
when going slow, when she PAGES.
She has the reputation of being the hon
est trotter in the country. She is gamcy
as running horse. am not much of a
fast horseman myself. My partner,
Clark, used to attend to these things, but
he died this spring and if | make any mis-
takes it is on that account; but the de-
scription, think, will hold good. She
is mare that anybody would like, as
she is a regular pet. l don't think she
was ever struck with a whip; wears nc
boots, 10 OF. shoe forward and five
OF. behind. As this is about all | know
about her, remain
Yours respectfully,

Thieves Last week.
On Thursday morning of last week the
Mosler safe of Townsend q Dickinson was

blankets were thrown over the safe to
muille the sound of the explosion. The
sheet iron box with its iron door inside the
sale had been removed and also a small
TIN trunk. Both were afterward found
across the com,lon, beside the jail stream
near Court House bridge carefully deposit
ed on the ground. The burglars had
taken the trunk and box to the Congre-
gational church platform and leisurely
examined them, prying them open and alb.

\ soap" man passed through West
Rutland last week dropping d box OF his
merchandise at every house and also an
extra cake which the good house wife WAS
requested to use As sample or return
with the box without cost if she was so
disposed. Inc next day the willy soap
man returns, calls for his wares, and, on
examination of the box, discovers two or
more cakes missing. Taking no notice of

examined tie contents of the box, aud
knew nothing about the missing cakes, he
gruilly demands their value ana generally
frighteus his victims into paying what he
demands. The box and sample cake are

people are wholly deteuceless when claim
II made for what the box evidently does
