The Drummer" of Vermont Origin

Ane vermont
1t was about 45 years ago that Mr..
Isaac Brown, salesman in a Boston
wholesale grocery hOuse, remarked to
the head of the firm that, as trade had
been dull and he was about to take a
vacation trip into Vermont, he would
improve the opportunity to call on a
number of their customers and inquire
why they had not made the usual visit
to the city to buy the seasons stock of
goods. The suggestion was approved
and acted upon. The result was that
Mr.. Brown, on his return to Boston,
brought large number of orders from
country dealers. The experiment
working so well it was repeated by
that house and the example followed
by other wholesale merchants. This
is the story, as told by the older men
in trade, of the rise of the system now
so nearly universal of selling goods by
"drummers."

The Farmers Alliance is by no
means a local institution, as some
people seem to imagine, and is not
confined to this county or this State,
but is national in its scope and its
bearing. 1t now numbers nearly or
quite IA half million members, and is
steadily increasing. 1t Is undoubt =
eddy more than national in its broad
declaration of principles and aims,
being in this respect catholic. 1t is
a grand army marching steadily on
toward the goal Of universal prosper
ity. 1t attacks only the enemies of
the people, monopolies, and in ito
great fight has the endorsement of all
good citizens. Occasionally a squad
ron may stray from the ranks to at
tack a windmill, or some other imag-
mary foe, but the main body il
marching steadily on, and is neither
cognizant of or responsible for the
"bad breaks" Of individuals. While
i'll. advised actioA on the part Of indi- |
vidual Alliances may react unfavor-
ably on the order, still the disturb
ance in such cases will only be local,
and the evil effects, temporary. We
are all liable to make mistakes, and
should all bear in mind that
err is human, to forgive, divine"

The Blue and the Gray met again
on the heights Of Gettysburg, last
week, to celebrate the Fourth of .Ju-
ly, and fight the battle over. This
meeting was entirely different from
the one that occurred there twenty
five years ago. Nobody tried to Kill
anybody this time, and the only con-
test was II of friendly words-try-
est and who shed the greater number
Of barrels of gore. They had happy
high old time, those old veterans,
and they are fast closing up the
chasm-the politicians to the
contrary notwithstanding.

Tho people Of Grenada entertained
the association and did it in a royal

the meeting. The music furnished
by the people of Grenada was exqui-

made every effort in their power to

Every onc and occasionally we
are forcibly reminded of that man
who made a fortune by simply at
tending to his own business; not by
a similar example, but by observing
great pains that some people will
take to attend to the business of
somebody else. And in this connec-
ton we are reminded of the old
lines,
"If you have nothing else to do,
SUIT talk of those who sin.
It's better to at home,

The Frank A. Robbins Circus, Menage-
RE, Hirpodrome and Wild West show,
gave one Of their splendid exhibitions in
this place on Monday. We do not hesitate
to say that it is one of the best entertain
ments Of the kind that has eyer put up
their canvass here. The riding Of Chas
w. Fish, the real champion of the world,
was supurb, in fact by far the best our
people have ever seen, while the other
riders were way beyODd,the ordinary. The
splendid trapeze performances charmed
every one under the huge canvass, while
the wonderful riding of the wild west
borsemen thrilled the vast audiance. The
menagerie was the best aud most interest
ing that our people have seen since The
war. In few words we can say that
Frank Robbins shows are square up with
their advertisements, and worth all The
money they charge for admission. The
wonderful trained elephants are a reva
lation in animal history, and their train
ing Is so near akin to reason that it Il
hard to believe that these huge animal
are not governed by the mind of tn
human. They do all and more than tn
bills claim for them.
